The on the house floor in 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,300 Congress. I just I what's what? 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,000 Now they're screaming, I don't know. 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,600 It's it's Kevin McCarthy trying to become the speaker of the 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,800 house. He's been voted down three times 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,400 in a row. They're trying to go for a 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,300 fourth vote here, but but he doesn't have the votes and he's 9 00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,400 now he's oh my God. Kevin, let's throw it to Kevin. 10 00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,400 Karthi right now. Oh, the humanity. 11 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:03,600 And that is where we're at honest-to-god, folks. 12 00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:08,700 I have not seen anything on TV. This funny. 13 00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:13,600 Since. Maybe a couple of years ago that 14 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,700 Bo Burnham special on Netflix. That was hilarious, this though, 15 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,300 this send the Emmy, For best comedy to the Republican Party 16 00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:27,400 in the United States Congress. Because what took place 17 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,900 yesterday? I don't know. 18 00:01:28,908 --> 00:01:31,200 If you saw it, if you have a chance to go back and look at 19 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,900 it, it was unbelievable. First time in 100 years, we're 20 00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:43,600 the party that had won control of the house, was not able to 21 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,100 elect its own speaker. And the Democrats had nothing to 22 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,500 do with the Democrats. Didn't get in the way of 23 00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,800 Democrats. Just voted for their guy, Hakeem 24 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Jeffries a congressman from New York. 25 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:03,100 There's 222, Republicans, 212, Democrats, you need, 218 votes 26 00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,100 to have the majority to win the job, as Speaker of the House. 27 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,699 And it was almost like this. If you'd landed, if you came 28 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,600 from another planet, You're an Alien land in the Congress 29 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,200 yesterday, you would think looking around that, the 30 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,500 Democrats had won the House of Representatives on the 31 00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,200 Democratic side. They're all sitting there 32 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,800 laughing Telling jokes they brought their kids. 33 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,700 One of the male Congressman had a one of those Papoose. 34 00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,200 What do they call it when you strap the kid on the front of 35 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,400 you? What do you call that, never 36 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,400 looks safe to me. But there's a, he's walking up 37 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,500 and down this Democrat with his baby on his chest. 38 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,800 You got other kids running around. 39 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,100 They looks like there's some kind of party going on, on the 40 00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:54,500 Democratic side of the house floor on the other side. 41 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 I'd there is a friggin Civil War. 42 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400 The day began yesterday, with a Kevin McCarthy, the Republican 43 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,500 leader calls them into a private room. 44 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:06,500 All the Republicans, like, let's get this worked out. 45 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,200 Let's not go out there and make it look like fools, you know, we 46 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,200 need the 218 votes, but there were, at least four or five 47 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,500 hardcore, right? Wingers that, no way. 48 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,400 Were they going to vote for Kevin McCarthy for reasons? 49 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,300 I still don't quite understand, but I guess they see him as not 50 00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,100 as a Either head or not a certainly not a sympathizer for 51 00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:30,600 the Democrats. He's been backed by Trump to be 52 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 the speaker of the house, but they got into some screaming 53 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,700 match with each other. They started dropping f-bombs 54 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:40,200 and cursing at each other and it just the whole thing, came 55 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600 unglued, then they came out on the floor of the house and you 56 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400 know, literally if you are watching this on TV, you're 57 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,900 watching the wheels of a clown car coming off, one at a time. 58 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,500 Boom, boom. Boom, boom. 59 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Boom. And this is the party that 60 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,300 supposedly one. How often have we had to listen 61 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,400 to the media. Tell us for almost two months 62 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,600 now that the Republicans have won the House of 63 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,000 Representatives. The Republicans will control the 64 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,600 House of Representatives. It's going to be a 65 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:16,600 republican-controlled house. Control that if you tuned in 66 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,899 yesterday, there were no control. 67 00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,200 It was nothing but chaos and pandemonium. 68 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:26,700 Nobody knew what to do McCarthy, who's supposedly, the leader 69 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,500 couldn't lead, and then just the whole scene on the Republican 70 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:35,300 side. You've got 222 sitting there but 71 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:42,200 118 are insurrectionist An election deniers they're all in 72 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,800 there. We're in the house on January 6 73 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,800 2021 when after a six-hour, deadly Insurgency, and Riot. 74 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,100 By right-wing Republicans outside and inside the Capitol 75 00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,200 building and a few hours later when they are able to restore 76 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,800 order to the house. These 118, they voted to not 77 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,000 certify Joe Biden as the duly elected president of the United 78 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,600 States. That's what the rioters were 79 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000 unable to do during the day with violence. 80 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,200 They would finish the mission of the Insurgency because they had 81 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200 a right to vote. They would vote to essentially 82 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000 overthrow the government overturn, the election. 83 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,600 And that's what they did. That's what they did. 84 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,700 They voted not to certify Biden. Fortunately, they lost. 85 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,800 But, this group, they came back in there yesterday, because they 86 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,700 got re-elected, they're all in there. 87 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,000 They're all in there being seated. 88 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,600 After committing, this treasonous act of trying to 89 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400 overturn the election on the night of January 6 that year 90 00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:54,000 Constitution says, amendment 14 Section 3. 91 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,500 That if you participate in an Insurgency or Rebellion, and 92 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,200 you've taken an oath as a member of Congress, and you've 93 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,100 participated in this or if you've given Aid and comfort to 94 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,700 those who are trying to promote and participate in an 95 00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:13,100 Insurgency, you are not allowed to take your seat in the 96 00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:16,200 Congress, or to hold any public office in this country. 97 00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:22,300 And yet they've allowed in nearly 120, Republicans who 98 00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:26,000 participated in the coup attempt, back on January, 6, 99 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000 2021, All right, so you've got all the all these 100 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 insurrectionists who have been elected or re-elected to 101 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,700 Congress running around on the house floor. 102 00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:46,700 Now on top of that you've got at least a half a dozen, real, 103 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:52,100 right wing Republicans who hate Kevin McCarthy their leader and 104 00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,600 they don't want to vote for him for a speaker of the house. 105 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,200 So they're all running around the house floor and they're 106 00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,400 Visiting more and more Republicans not to vote for the 107 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,700 Republican that's running for speaker of the house. 108 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:13,300 And then you've got this one lone man, sitting in the very 109 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,200 last row on the house, floor, all by himself. 110 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:21,500 Everyone shutting him, parents pulling their children away from 111 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:24,100 him and he's just sitting there by himself. 112 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,200 It's Jorge Santos. Or so we think it is and he's 113 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:40,000 got leprosy. So, Jorge Santos is there and 114 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,300 he's tweeting out. I just got sworn into office by 115 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,100 the Speaker of the House. No, you weren't. 116 00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,400 There was no speaker that they that's what you were sitting 117 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,000 there. While they're trying to have 118 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,200 ballot after ballot to get my car through the speaker. 119 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,600 He was never elected yesterday. So the first thing you send out 120 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,500 from the floor of Congress, Is a lie. 121 00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:14,200 Oh man, it was crazy. Crazy watching this yesterday. 122 00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,100 And every time they'd hold a vote for who should be Speaker 123 00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:22,900 of the House who comes in first, the Democratic leader Hakeem 124 00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:27,100 Jeffries of New York. He wins every vote for speaker 125 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:30,300 of the house. Even though the Republicans have 126 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:40,299 more Representatives, it was the best comedy I have seen in ages. 127 00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,800 Now Jeffrey said, show up expecting to be speaker of the 128 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,200 house and yet, here he wins the first round again. 129 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,800 If you were that alien from Mars, or wherever you'd think, 130 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,200 again, the Democrats had won the House of Representatives. 131 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,600 They're all relaxed, they're still telling jokes, everybody's 132 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:11,600 giving Nancy a hug and and Hakeem Jeffries gets more votes 133 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,900 than the Republican Kevin McCarthy. 134 00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:20,600 So they call for another ballot, they hold another roll call vote 135 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,900 of all 435. Actually, there's one person 136 00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,800 didn't show up, but as I told you after the November election, 137 00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:32,400 they start dropping like flies in the last Congress. 16 elected 138 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,400 members of Congress. Never made it to the end of the 139 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,700 two-year term either because they passed away, or they were 140 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,900 brought up on charges scandals indictments. 141 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,500 They got caught doing something. So they quit. 142 00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,600 They decided to go room for another office or whatever, but 143 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,700 we already have sadly one member of Congress passed away since 144 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:53,800 the election. And now we have one that didn't 145 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200 show up yesterday, and of course, you got the wire from 146 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,300 Long Island, the Long Island liar, sitting there. 147 00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:02,500 I don't know how long he's going to actually last, but we got 148 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:07,800 4234 voting and you got Hakeem Jeffries with the most votes, 149 00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,100 but he doesn't have the 218 either 280 volts so they have a, 150 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,200 they have a second ballot. On the second ballot. 151 00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:19,900 The tally was Hakeem Jeffries in first place with 212 votes. 152 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:25,700 Kevin McCarthy in second place with again, 203 votes. 153 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,400 And then Jim Jordan in third place. 154 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:35,500 Biggs dropped out. So Jim Jordan with 19 votes, 19. 155 00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,100 Wait a minute. This started in the morning with 156 00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:41,200 only four or five Republicans saying that they were going to 157 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000 vote against and try to block McCarthy from winning. 158 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:52,900 Now, it's grown from four to 19. Wow, so the look of McCarthy's 159 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:55,900 face so they're going to go to a third vote, all of a sudden, no 160 00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:58,000 these these hints from these other congressmen. 161 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000 That are sitting there with McCarthy, there's a shot of the 162 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,200 table in McCarthy is sitting there alone. 163 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,500 I'm like, oh my God, his own people are deserting them. 164 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,000 Later. Somebody got Trump on the phone 165 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,300 and said you still support him for a speaker. 166 00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:16,100 Well I'm just going to see how this all turns out. 167 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,700 It's what Trump says because of course he can never support a 168 00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:21,000 loser so now McCarthy's all alone. 169 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,300 They're good they're doing now they're calling the third roll 170 00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:30,400 call and now Jordan's gone from 19 to 20 votes McCarthy's. 171 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,600 Got 200, two votes and Hakeem Jeffries number one in first 172 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,600 place with two. In 12 votes. 173 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,700 So, on the day that the losing Democrats are supposed to have 174 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,800 lost all this power. The day ends, they have to 175 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,200 adjourn and there is no speaker of the house. 176 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,600 There is no Republican control. There's no control at all going 177 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,500 on in there and they decided to wait until today. 178 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaking to you here on, this is Wednesday morning so they're 179 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,500 going to convene again at noon today and do a fourth ballot. 180 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,700 This is only happened one time in our entire history of this 181 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:15,300 country, where it went to more than one or two ballots. 182 00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:17,800 This is now going to be the fourth ballot. 183 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,500 Last time it happened. I think was 1855 and it went for 184 00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:26,100 they did balance every day for two full months. 185 00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,300 That is the Log Jam. That has now been created and, 186 00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,700 you know, the Democrats have not caused the same. 187 00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:36,800 Just they're just over there telling jokes and slapping each 188 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,100 other. On the back and having a good 189 00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,900 time, you know, they haven't broken out the wine coolers yet 190 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:46,000 but you know, they'll get to it. But he the Republican side is 191 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400 still just looks like a crazy mess. 192 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,300 They wheeled in a bunch of pizzas last night. 193 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,000 There's pizza boxes somewhere laying around half-eaten pizzas, 194 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,900 just Total Insanity and I couldn't have been happier. 195 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,900 I was laughing, so hard. How do we luck out like this? 196 00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,800 How do it because, you know, we're near not this lucky, 197 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,900 whether your Progressive or liberal you call yourself a 198 00:13:10,908 --> 00:13:13,400 Democrat, you belong to the Democratic party, you're an 199 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800 independent, but you voted for the Democrats, this time, 200 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,300 whatever it is, You know and look we we put up a big blue 201 00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,500 wall. We stop the Red Wave McCarthy 202 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:26,600 said they were going to win 60 new seats in the House and what 203 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,300 do they end up? Winning eight. 204 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:31,100 Eight or nine more. That's it. 205 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,300 So it's a big embarrassing moment for them. 206 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,800 And as each vote is progressed MacArthur keeps losing more 207 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,700 votes. Hakeem Jeffries continues to 208 00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:48,600 stay in first place. As the right now, I guess the 209 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:58,800 unofficial Victor of Speaker of the House Man, I know you say to 210 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,400 yourself sometimes, maybe there is a God in heaven. 211 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:05,900 Come on. Admit it because the moments 212 00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,200 like this. How do you explain it? 213 00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:12,000 The Stars never lineup for the liberal Lefty and of things 214 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,100 here, right? And yet here we are Hakeem 215 00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,700 Jeffries holding Court, over on the Democratic side of things 216 00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:23,000 here. The Republicans unable to elect 217 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,200 their own speaker. They hold the most votes, you 218 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,100 know, this is going to start again at noon today. 219 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,000 I can't.

So, the Democrats only need to 265 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,300 flip for republicans. Why not do that? 266 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,200 Then you would have the 218 votes that you need. 267 00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:29,300 Here's what I don't understand in, this is why we often do lose 268 00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:33,700 because the people that represent us in public office or 269 00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:37,400 often times, especially in the past, don't want to play 270 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,300 hardball. They want to play Kumbaya. 271 00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:46,500 I mean, there's that many Republicans that barely won in 272 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:51,900 November and they won. They won re-election in a 273 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,600 district that has now turned blue. 274 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:56,700 In other words, their congressional district is a 275 00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,400 majority Democratic District, which means their chance of 276 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,000 winning in the next election. Not very good. 277 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,700 And if they were smart, they'd switch parties right now, 278 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,100 declare themselves a Democrat Caucus vote with the Democrats. 279 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000 It's if they can't say they're a Democrat, just say you're an 280 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,500 independent but you're going to caucus with the Democrats if 281 00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,900 they did that. First of all, the Democrats 282 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:21,500 would control the house immediately, and they would then 283 00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,200 have the votes to elect Hakeem Jeffries as the speaker of the 284 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,200 house. And all this talk about how the 285 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,900 Republicans won, the house goes right out the window. 286 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,500 And the Democrats control the house for the next two years. 287 00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:44,700 That could happen if we had Democratic Party leaders, who 288 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,800 really knew how to play hardball and knew their political 289 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,300 science. Because, what you do is you go 290 00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:55,000 to those four, five, six, moderate Liberal Republicans. 291 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000 And you say, you know, you not part of this anymore. 292 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,200 The whole trunk thing. This has been a disaster. 293 00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:05,100 It's essentially killed the Republican Party, come on over. 294 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,300 Leave the dark side, come to the light. 295 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,900 Then you barter with them, ask them what committee, they want 296 00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:17,400 to be the chair of give it to them, roll the red carpet out 297 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,500 for them, do whatever you could do legally to get them on our 298 00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:25,600 side. We just need a few of them and 299 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,400 suddenly were the majority suddenly Jeffries is the speaker 300 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,100 of the house. I know, that'll be the end of 301 00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:36,200 this incredible two to three episode comedy that we've been 302 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,500 watching here. But you know, this is 303 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,900 government. They need to Vern, we need to 304 00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:44,800 get some serious laws pass, we have the Senate still and with 305 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,100 one extra vote, because we picked up a republican seat on 306 00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,200 our side so we could get a lot done. 307 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,400 And yes, it's not that they won't be bumps in the road. 308 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,400 It's not that mansion in cinema aren't still. 309 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,800 There they are, but a hell of a lot better than it felt on 310 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,900 November 9th, for some people. So I don't know if anybody is 311 00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:10,300 listening, anybody who works for these Representatives, he's 312 00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:14,300 Democrats in Congress, this is the day to do some horse 313 00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,200 trading. This is the day to reach your 314 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,400 hand out. To those Republicans who are 315 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,600 representing blue Democratic districts and bring them over. 316 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,900 Now that's just me. I know whistling in the wind, 317 00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:31,800 there goes Mike again. I guess the last thing I want to 318 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,900 say about this is that if you have been fearful of the 319 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,800 Republicans or Trump or Trump coming back or whatever. 320 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000 If you just watch a few minutes of this, you are going to relax 321 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,200 greatly relaxed, your anxiety will go down. 322 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,400 Your despair will go down, you'll realize that even if they 323 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800 figure out some way out of the mess that they're in, on the 324 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,500 Speaker of the House issue. They're going to have the most 325 00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:01,000 difficult time, getting along with each other, and trying to 326 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,300 get things through that. They are never going to be able 327 00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,400 to get through, and, of course, they'll go to, if they do get it 328 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600 through, goes to the Senate and the Democrats will kill it. 329 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,700 Right there. So, the power they hold really 330 00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,100 is no power. We saw what they're capable of 331 00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:18,600 yesterday which is a complete inability to govern. 332 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,400 I'm telling you, this could have been a greater early January 333 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,200 gift to be able to see That when all else fails, you can count on 334 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,400 the Republicans to not be able to find their way out of a paper 335 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,400 bag. So spirits up everyone. 336 00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:41,700 We have an interesting two years ahead of us right now. 337 00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:44,000 There is no control of the house. 338 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,200 They're not going to get Jack done. 339 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,100 I mean seriously. Fear not fellow Americans and 340 00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,900 people around the world. I wouldn't say we're in good 341 00:21:55,900 --> 00:22:02,300 hands tonight but we're about as good a hands as you can get in 342 00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:08,300 this country right now, so I'll take that for the time being And 343 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:10,100 the rest of us will keep doing our work. 344 00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:15,300 If you had a chance to listen to the 12 episode series that I'm 345 00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,500 in the middle of right now.

I provide the secret sauce for 353 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,700 how we can Can start getting more Democrats elected in these 354 00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:42,300 red areas. We did a lot of it on November 355 00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,300 8th. A lot of Democrats elected in 356 00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:48,200 red States and ballot. Proposals passed in red States 357 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,100 ballot proposals that you and I support. 358 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,600 So, there's good news ahead there, too. 359 00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:56,700 If you have a chance to listen to this little mini series 360 00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:59,600 within the rumble podcast, I encourage you to do that. 361 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,800 We'll be back tomorrow with a new episode of that. 362 00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:06,800 Thanks everybody.

But in order to do that, we had 369 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,300 to lose the losers, became the winners. 370 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,500 The champions. Of the world.
