Exclusive — McCarthy Lays Out GOP ‘Commitment to America’: ‘A Clear Contrast’ Between Republicans, Democrats for Midterms

McCarthy’s “Commitment to America,” which he previewed in the latest On The Hill video special taped in December at an Eastern Market establishment on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, is what he framed up as the contrast with Democrat policies that have harmed America over the past year since President Joe Biden and his Democrats took complete control in Washington last January.

The GOP vision, which McCarthy said will be rolled out by House Republicans over the course of this year, is similar to the 1994 “Contract with America” that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich introduced that year—the first year in decades that Republicans had taken back the House majority.

McCarthy’s plan is also diametrically opposed to that of Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, who has time and again said he does not intend to release a positive agenda but instead just intends to beat up on Democrats rather than promising what Republicans will do if they win the majority back in that chamber.

I don’t think majorities are given, I think they are earned,” McCarthy said when asked about McConnell’s view on this matter.

It’s not just being in the majority for the sake of being in the majority.

You’re being in the majority to make America better?

How do we make sure for IDs and others so that you can trust your elections going forward.

This one-party rule that’s brought us inflation, open borders, unsafe communities, and a supply chain where products are scarce, or do we want something that’s going to make our economy stronger, our streets safer, our border secure, and the next century the American century.

“Any time you have an election that has contrast, clear contrast—like, if Republicans were trusted with the majority, what would you do?” McCarthy said.

You look at what happened in Virginia, where the Democrats don’t believe the parents should have a say in their kids’ education, we say that’s wrong,” McCarthy said.

We’re just going to have the party of the ideas, the party of the parent, and what we’re going to do is you’ll find later this year we will roll out a Commitment to America—a clear contrast on what our policies are versus the one-party rule.

You’ll find we’ll make America energy independent?

For Republicans to retake the House majority, they need to flip just a net five seats back into GOP hands from Democrat control in November.

Everybody, every pollster said we would lose 15 or more seats,” McCarthy said, while mocking “all these people who make money—who make money—by telling people what’s going to happen” for getting it wrong.

They got the number right and the party wrong,” McCarthy said.

So that’s what happened in the past,” McCarthy said.

Unbeknownst to what’s going on out there, there’s a couple things you want to look at.

With New Jersey and Virginia going together—in 93 they both went Republican and then the House flipped Republican.

In Biden’s America, we just lost another truck driver.

Another indicator, McCarthy said, is increased retirements among incumbent Democrats—the number is now at 25 Democrats who have thrown in the towel and are not running for reelection.

“The other thing you want to look at is retirements,” McCarthy said.

“Members, if they start retiring, they understand what’s going to happen?

So, what we’re seeing is the Democrats know what’s going to happen as well.”.

McCarthy also said that Biden’s approval rating is another sign of bad things to come for Democrats—and all of that combined with redistricting this year presents a “perfect storm” opportunity for Republicans to build a lasting majority this November.

“The last thing I really look at is the presidential approval,” McCarthy said.

But there’s something different, it’s almost like a perfect storm and it probably won’t happen again for another 50 years where you have the party in power with a small majority for the first time in a hundred years of five seats, they just won the White House so history says they should lose seats, the generic ballot where it is, and redistricting.

So there is a really good chance if this election cycle holds and Republicans win, we might be able to have a conservative majority for 10 years and hold it because they’re not going to change the lines.

McCarthy said this candidate quality is similarly important in 2022.

“What we talked about last time, and it holds true to this day—when we were on your radio show—the quality of the candidate is the number one attribute of whether you’re going to win,” McCarthy said.

“So, our best ability to win: stop their policies, first of all, recruit very good candidates—conservatives who believe in America and that America is exceptional—and compete,” McCarthy said.

But we’re not just going to play in seats we think we can win.

We’re going to challenge you.

Back in 2019, McCarthy broke down for Breitbart News those 31 Trump-won, Democrat-represented districts as key to the GOP strategy for retaking the House majority in 2020.

“The difference is there are going to be new districts,” McCarthy said.

The poor performance of the Biden administration across the board on major issues is making the GOP case a lot easier to make to voters this year, too.

McCarthy, who had days before this interview was taped in early December set a new record for the longest House floor speech in history when he ripped not just the Biden Build Back Better agenda bill but also more broadly the Democrat vision for the country.

McCarthy overtook House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the record-longest floor speech in House history with this one?

So once they all left, they were yelling ‘bye’ to me and I said that’s fine I’m going to stay and said ‘I wasn’t speaking to you I was speaking to the American public.’ What’s most interesting is they would go to the back inside the cloakroom and watch me live.

This bill would culminate a lot of that and even make it harder for us,” McCarthy said.

“But I would say they could have that definition if they lived that way,” McCarthy said.

“What’s so sad about having inflation is we have not witnessed this type of inflation in more than 30 years,” McCarthy said.

Larry Summers, remember who Larry Summers is—prominent Democrat, worked in the Clinton administration and Obama administration—he said ‘don’t do this, it will bring inflation.’ The Democrats said ‘no, no, no, it’ll just be transitory,’ and then we found around December that even the Fed said stop using that word.

Just on their own socialist type programs and what they believe in is going to cause greater inflation and a supply chain that’s already broken?

Remember when the president went back a number of months ago and said he was going to fix the supply chain and he said he was going to make people in the ports work 24/7 but then what we found in December was that made no difference whatsoever because the core of the problem is he’s relying on other countries for their products instead of having America make their products and send them overseas.”!

McCarthy said that America is currently too dependent on foreign countries for critical goods, as evidenced by the supply chain crisis.

Asked how to fix it, McCarthy said the answer is “an America first agenda.”.

When I look at those ships, I’ve never seen this many ships before,” McCarthy said.

“The president, can you imagine, the president of the United States goes into office and shuts down an American pipeline but okays Putin for a pipeline in Europe?” McCarthy said.

Historically speaking, McCarthy said that much of the Biden era resembles Democrat Jimmy Carter’s presidency.

At any given time, and you’re younger than I am and you may not remember this or may not have been born in that time, but in the late 70s in 1979 we had a president in Jimmy Carter who had this talk at the White House,” McCarthy said.

We’re hearing that from the White House, that we should expect less for Christmas, that we should expect less as Americans?

In fact, more people have died from coronavirus in America in less time under Biden than did under Trump.

“Put it apples to apples: Joe Biden said in his debate that if anyone was president and he gave a number of the number of deaths should no longer be president.

Asked if Biden should apply that standard he applied to Trump to himself, and step aside from the presidency, McCarthy said that Biden simply cannot be trusted.

He lied to us in weeks,” McCarthy said.

The sad part about all of this is if Joe Biden had been sworn into office and had just sat there and done nothing, America would be stronger today.”.

To add insult to injury, McCarthy said, Biden has not held China accountable for the virus—and instead did nothing to stop China from hosting the winter Olympics this year.

“Why would the world reward China with the Olympics again—this will be twice, and it hasn’t been in America—when we know where COVID came from?” McCarthy said.

Why didn’t the world get together and say ‘we’re going to hold the Olympics but they’re not going to be in China’ and just move it to another location.

Why would we expect any different behavior from China if this administration is not going to hold their feet to the fire?”.

With regard to the Biden “Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework” that 13 House Republicans voted for, he noted that it was almost impossible to stop it once it came over from the Senate—but he still whipped against it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from Democrat attacks and said the breaks from tradition that Pelosi has overseen this past year represent her “burning this House down as she walks out the door.”.

The infrastructure bill, once three voted for it, it was going to pass,” McCarthy said.

“The Senate is a different body but one thing I would say is we all need to work together to achieve the majority,” McCarthy said when asked about the difference in style between them.

“I’ll work with anybody to make America stronger.

McCarthy said that if and when Republicans get the majority back, the first thing he intends to do is “grab that gavel.” But then he noted that he intends to return Congress to operating under “regular order,” where bills goes through committee.

“You’ve got to have the gavel to govern,” McCarthy said.

“The first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to sit down and we’re going to end proxy voting.

We’re also going to evaluate these committees and make sure they’re not dysfunctional and refocus it on what America wants us to be focused on.

You need to be very clear with the American public that first we’re going to build back—we’re going to secure the border.

We’re going to curb this runaway spending to stop inflation.

We’re going to cut regulation to focus on small businesses that have been trying to survive.

We’re not going to allow government to make it more competitive with small business where it’s more competitive for an American to stay home than to go to work.

We’re going to take away this disincentive to not work.

They’re going to just be getting a check to stay home.

We’re going to make sure we’re not defending the police.

We’re going to make sure the parents’ bill of rights is passed?

“The one thing I also look at it is yeah, we need to have good policy to win the majority but also what will we do with the structure of Congress?” McCarthy said.

Bills are going to have to go through committee to make sure they’re debated.

Another major part of what Republicans will do in the majority, McCarthy said, is oversight?

“We’re also going to hold this administration accountable.

In the majority, there are a lot of places that we have an accountability project,” McCarthy said.

“The first thing we’re going to hold this administration accountable for is what really happened in Afghanistan?

Then we’re going to go after and holding China accountable and where did COVID originate, the gain-of-function that we’ve watched Fauci lie about and then have to come forward on, holding China accountable in this process.

Then you know what else we’re going to do.

We’re watching that there’s no longer equal justice in America.

We’re going to investigate and hold accountable the National School Board Association with the DOJ.

Every committee has an oversight mechanism, and we’re going to utilize our oversight to hold this administration accountable, which right now is not being done.”.

While McCarthy said these investigations are already underway from Republicans in the minority, with a majority they will be supercharged.

We’re going to enhance that because we believe in holding this administration accountable

Every American should be upset by this, of what’s going on

Our allies are upset about what’s going on

Why does that answer keep changing and what’s the policy going forward with that

“I’m not going to make just one [member] it [the point person on oversight],” McCarthy said

Maybe America didn’t get mad because the ones they released were of wealthy people but remember what happened when you had the Obama and Biden administration the last time
