Scott Jennings: ‘When a Republican Is President, the Bureaucracy Resists, It Has to Stop’

HINOJOSA: “And going back to loyalty, I think it’s a very fair point, because you claim that Trump is not asking for loyalty within the federal government. He absolutely is. I was at the Department of Justice. They’re telling essentially attorneys, career prosecutors, ‘If you are not loyal to Trump, then you should get out of here.’ He fired the January 6 prosecutors. He’s trying to fire FBI agents, 5,000 FBI agents who worked on January 6 cases. If you fire 5,000 FBI agents, we will have a terrorist attack, unfortunately.”
JENNINGS: “We have elections for a reason in this country. We vest all executive authority in a president of the United States, not in an unelected bureaucracy, not in independent agencies, but in a president. The president’s agenda matters. When a Republican is president, the bureaucracy resists. It has to stop.”
HINOJOSA: “That sounds more like a king. It does not sound like a president of the United States.”
JENNINGS: “Sounds like our Constitution to me.”
HINOJOSA: “It sounds — well, they’re not upholding the Constitution.”
SUBRAMANYAM: “Yeah, it’s not our Constitution to impede on the spending power of Congress, for instance, and take away agencies that we authorized. So, this is not constitutional at all.”
MAGUIRE: “Oh, but then Democrats want to sit here and complain about that, but had no issue whatsoever when Joe Biden defied the Supreme Court and continued to unilaterally pardon student loan debt. That money was all [inaudible] and Monopoly then.”
BASH: “10 seconds, Congressman.”
SUBRAMANYAM: “You know, right now, I have talked to the federal workers. This is going to do lasting damage to our country if we let these cuts go through.”
