Jason Chaffetz：对Mike Johnson当选议长表示祝贺，认为他是一个值得信赖、称职、头脑冷静且讲求常识的人。同时，对在国会中期更换议长表示批评，但理解更换议长的理由，并认为对议长的要求过高，应该重新定义议长的角色，并更多地将责任赋予委员会成员和主席。 Chaffetz还讨论了美国政治的现状，认为在两党分歧严重的情况下，需要重新思考如何才能有效地通过立法。他认为，议员们应该更多地关注合作和妥协，而不是一味地对抗和争斗。 Mike Collins：分享了他对美国政治的看法，认为作为一名保守派议员，要有效率，并分享了他已经通过的两项法案的例子。他强调了在政治中保持幽默感和自嘲的重要性，以及让人们喜欢你并信任你的重要性。他还谈到了他从混凝土和卡车运输行业起家，并受到其父亲（曾任国会议员）的影响。Collins认为，来国会的人可以分为三种：不知道做什么、追求权力和真正想有所作为。他认为，在国会中，需要合作和妥协，才能有效地通过立法。
