CALLER: You know, about the House speakership, in a way, it's, I want to say a joke.
...
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I just can't believe that we have some Republicans and all these reports that some Republicans would consider working with Democrats to pick the next speaker.
And when I read that, I'm like, that's not leading and that is a absolute guarantee way to lose power in elections and frankly, deservedly so. Get your act together.
You know, at this point in history, we -- we really don't have time to have the people's house closed.
That's my opinion. Get your act together. Get a speaker. Get consensus. It's -- not everyone's gonna be -- it's not gonna be their favorite. It doesn't matter. This is -- find the things that unite -- that you unite on.
You know, that unite you as a Republican and go to work on those things. Because every passing day to me, you guys look stupid and incapable of leading. That's what it looks like to me.
