elected. a speaker has not been elected. yes, the circus is still in town and the group of 20 serial insurrectionists opposing kevin mccarthy, they are right about one thing, this man has no business being speaker of the house. if he can t navigate his way around the basic vote to get the job he s not remotely capable of leading especially a radical caucus filled with this iteration of republicans. and we do begin tonight with the never ending republican fight over the next hour the never ending republican fight for speaker. over the next hour kevin mccarthy should be wise to learn this one lesson because he s going to be facing this hell over the next hour. any tolerance of insurrection breeds more. in the next hour as i mention the house will return to try to get done what they could not do earlier on this ground-hog day of voting. but beyond showing in realtime kevin s inability to do the job this dumpster fire is making it clear the republicans keeping republicans par
tea party patriots who was at the stop the steal rally, brent bozel, this guy who does this right-wing media research thing. ed miess, so there s a group of people serious right-wing people backing this effort. what do you make of that? they still think, you know, they have this sort of permission even though they are election deniers, maybe helped in planning. look at mitchell and ginni thomas, it s just incredible they have no shame going out there to go against mccarthy, no shame. and it shows that we have a diseased system. the issue is you have this, you ve got people out there still getting stop the steal
for. and become an anti-demic proauthoritarian, pro insurrectionists chaos group of people with a person who doesn t have a spine like kevin mccarthy. if he d be strong enough to expel anyone engaged in the insurrection he wouldn t be in this position because none of them would be in congress. their plan is to keep switching from alternative to alternative. they first tried to go with jim jordan but jim jordan is in with mccarthy. and today they went a black guy with chip roy standing up and saying all things about martin luther king quotes and some of them were saying things about frederick douglas. this to me felt like a full troll and this guy was willing to go along with it. maybe they ll have a whole new theme of a person that s not kevin mccarthy.
ever including donald trump an insurrection where he almost lost his life and other members of congress did. there was a violent insurrection, and he kowtowed to that. when you have someone that desperate these guys are like political nihilists. he seems to get off and enjoy this humiliation because that s what s continuing here. what suffers, our democracy suffers. let s not forget the people being elevated right now as leading this group and given all this airtime lauren bobert and matt gaetz, scott perry, these guys were the leaders of the clue caucus and election deniers and they re being elevated and given a platform as if they re normal political actors. we need to be careful who these people are and what they re doing here and not calling them out for what they really stand
thing. thanks for being on the show tonight. kat who basically her whole speech was fentanyl, border, fentanyl, border, biden. so there s no ideological difference between her and the 20 people who are refusing to vote for kevin mccarthy. so in your view to me it just looks like they re torturing kevin mccarthy because they hate the guy. how do you see it? yeah, they want to get a scout. look, this is much bigger than kevin mccarthy. matt gaetz is never going to vote for mccarthy. this is much more about who s in charge of this conference. this is dynamic i faced when i was on the hill. it s been building for 10, 12 years a small rough group of conservatives, no more really policy conservatives as you noted in the rest of the group, just completely uncompromising and what i basically think of as
