RIOS: Why not? They’re Republicans.
ARMEY: Well, understand something. Well, first-now wait a minute. Wait a minute. First of all, you’re talking about organizations that take extreme and somewhat violent positions. This is not the people with whom...
RIOS: Yes.
ARMEY: ... the chairman of the Republican National Committee met.

RIOS: ... is you don’t-in all due respect...
ARMEY: Well, now wait a minute. This is...

ARMEY: You are being so wrong here.
RIOS: ... informed. No, I’m not.
ARMEY: You’re-you’re condemning...
RIOS: You’re not fully informed about this.
ARMEY: ... the man for a meeting he didn’t have.
RIOS: No, we-I have not...
ARMEY: He didn’t meet with the Man Boy Love Relationship people.
RIOS: We questioned the Republican Party...
MATTHEWS: Let me-let me-I have to break this up for a second.
We’re going to...
ARMEY: Well, I’m sorry.
MATTHEWS: ... come back and talk about another issue on...
ARMEY: I’m sorry. You’ve got to talk about what is.
MATTHEWS: ... the conservative side of things.
ARMEY: ... not what your fears are.
MATTHEWS: Let me come back...
RIOS: I’m not saying...
