was about this moment. this is the biggest thing he is going to do his entire first two years as speaker, get through this moment. the debt limit is the hardest thing that you have to do. she s gonna lose a lot of people. a lot of those people who voted for him on the floor, on the 15th ballot to become speaker said i trust you, you re never gonna let me down, are gonna feel like they let him down. so everything from here on is going to be harder. the president said back in 2011 we had this for a standoff with obama. this is been tried a few times. each time the returns are smaller and smaller eye. don t know if kevin mccarthy would be able to run this again and get anything out of it. when we did it in 2011 it was a much larger scale deal than what they re doing now. but there are still challenges ahead, but mccarthy can, i think, breathed easy now is speaker that his place is secure going forward because this was the only thing that really mattered for him. there are still calls fo
at the same time a precedent has been set once again. the democrats themselves were the concession. and the fact democrats are bailing out republicans from a catastrophic scenarioan of thei own creation, brendan, what is mn,ccarthy s. if this does paz with, you know, 80 to 100 democratic votes, 130 i m not doing the math right, but if it is bipartisan what is the lesson for mccarthy in all of this? inwell, i think it s certain going to be bipartisan. and the reality is the honeymoon is over for kevin mccarthy. i think we can accept that. everything he s done up until thisdo point to be speaker is about thiso moment. this was the biggest thing he was going to do the entire two years as speaker. he ss going to lose a lot of people. a lot of those people who voted for him on the floor than the 15th ballot to become speaker and said i trust you, you re never going to let me down feel
tough over there. what do you think? yeah. this will be a real defining moment for kevin mccarthy and his young speakership. since he won the speakership on the 15th ballot, he pushed together an agenda that has gotten most republicans onboard on a wide range and messages bills they have gotten through the house. but they did get the debt ceiling bill, the republican debt ceiling bill that had much conservative priorities. they got that through the house because mccarthy was able to unite his various factions of his congress to get it through the house. that s something that john boehner as the speaker in the 2011 debt crisis was not able to get done. this is going to be different. now the republicans will be divided over this. already we have heard a number of conservatives say they will not support this because it does not go as far as the republican-led bill. the question is going to be how strong of an opposition there is
soon as i say goodnight, alex, the rest, i barely know what i m talking about. you can wing it, lawrence. have a great show. thanks, alex. thank you. well, today, the democrats revealed that they have all year in working on a secret plot against the shaky leadership of the republican speaker of the house kevin mccarthy, a lot that can save america from the united states defaulting for the first time in history. republicans and the house were shocked to learn today that the democrats secretly planted the seeds for this coup immediately after kevin mccarthy was finally elected speaker on the 15th ballot. the key player in this secret plot is the sponsor of this legislation introduced in the house at the beginning of the year. this legislation that no one on the republican side ever suspected what could be the
