And in talking to those New York Republicans, they believe they are close to getting the votes they need to kick George Santos out of the House. >> Speaker 2: I think we're getting two thirds. There seems to be a good sentiment out there that enough is enough. >> I think that people have seen over the last ten months what a fraud he is. [00:00:20] You read either indictment, there's a clear outline that that lays out the fabrications, the lies, the manipulation of donors and others that he has committed over the last year or longer. [00:00:40] >> Speaker 4: They're coming for him. George Santos is potentially gonna be kicked out now because there's a group of Republicans led by their, what, Anthony D Esposito out in New York, and they're tired of, I guess, him just floating by after all the things that have been discovered about all of his past potentially illegal activities. [00:00:58] Let's go to some of the details here because he's confident they're gonna get that two thirds to kick his ass out. The Esposito, alongside a group of New York Republicans, moved to force a vote on expelling. >> Speaker 4: You mold those two faces together. [00:01:14] >> Marking the second attempt this year to eject the embattled first-term lawmaker from Congress. This measure was called to the floor last Thursday as a privileged resolution, and that forces leadership to act on that legislation within two legislative. House went into recess Thursday afternoon and [00:01:30] is not scheduled to return till Wednesday. I don't know the reason why, but every time I hear about Congress taking three days off, four days off, there must be a reason. There must be a reason. There must be a reason. I'm ignorant to it, so maybe there's a reason, but it's ridiculous. [00:01:47] There's more, though. Leadership can now motion to table that resolution or refer it to a committee, both of which would require majority support. If the legislation is brought to the House floor for a vote, it will require the backing of two thirds of the chamber to then kick him out. Andy Esposito said that he spoke with Speaker Johnson, new speaker, [00:02:04] Mike Johnson, before he presented this bill. And this is what Mike Johnson had to say cuz it seems like he doesn't really care about Santos. Johnson made it clear. He said, do what you think is right and do what you think is right for New York. And like I said, this is not about precedent. It's about setting a new precedent. If we could set a new precedent, especially from individuals in the House [00:02:22] who have tried to fight the status quo that the House does not welcome liars, fraudsters, and people who have made a mockery of the institution, setting new standards and precedents. And George Santos is I mean, he could have the response that you would expect. This is the first cryptic one. [00:02:38] He said, everything has an end in life. Doesn't sound very confident in his chances of making out of this, but he did clarify later, he said three points of clarification. I have not cleared out my office. I guess people are saying that I'm not resigning and I'm entitled to due process [00:02:55] and not a predetermined outcome that some are seeking, God bless. Let's watch this ad, this fake Santos commercial that people put out because this is the type of responses and energy that George Santos is getting. Then we'll get your reaction here was. [00:03:11] >> My neighbor AOC thinks socialism is a good idea. She calls it democratic socialism, which is basically just socialism with splitter on it. >> Speaker 6: This fall, George Santos stars in the new hit sitcom about one man's journey to becoming AUS Representative and [00:03:28] the tangled web of lies he weaved in order to get there. >> Speaker 5: My grandparents survived the Holocaust. >> Speaker 6: Liar-ish Thursdays this fall on Fox. >> Speaker 4: The guy who did that, his name is Gabe Sanchez, and he hosts what was that show? [00:03:43] And he put that whole thing together cuz Santos is ripe for energy like that. >> Speaker 7: Like, you know, I guess there are some standards still left within the Republican Party, some which is like, you can't just tell 10, [00:04:00] 11, 12 holy, untruths lies about yourself. You can lie about things that you're gonna do when you get to Congress, but you can't lie about your actual life, who you are, just make up stuff, places that you worked, schools that you went to, people that you were friends with. [00:04:19] Just completely lie 12, 11 times and be part of Congress. At least that is the standard that is set. Which honestly surprises me a bit, just the idea that they would even go [00:04:34] forth with something like this Jr. >> I guess they finally don't care about that one extra vote. I don't know, who knows or they're embarrassed enough by now, Kevin McCarthy's gone. I don't know. There's some kind of new energy. Maybe they've embarrassed by that whole process as well, too, and they need to get some kind of legitimacy. [00:04:50] And George Santos is not legitimate.
