IT’S INTERESTING, IT WAS IN THIS ROOM AFTER WE HAD WON THE MAJORITY AND I BECAME SPEAKER, NANCY PELOSI CAME TO ME AND WAS SPEAKER AT THE TIME ON THE WAY OUT, I TOLD HER I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH GETTING ENOUGH VOTES. SHE SAID WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? I SAID THEY WANT ONE PERSON TO RULE OUT. SPEAK WAS THE SPEAKER THAT CHANGED THAT RULE. I HAD THE POWER TO CALL ON HER BUT I WOULDN’T AND LOST VOTES BECAUSE OF IT. AND SHE SAID JUST GIVE IT TO THEM. I’LL ALWAYS BACK YOU UP. I MADE THE SAME OFFER TO BOEHNER AND SAME THING TO PAUL BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE INSTITUTION.
