0:00.0	The Republican Party has been thrown into unprecedented chaos as Republicans, well, eight
0:23.2	of them along with Democrats have voted to vacate the position of Speaker of the House
0:29.9	removing Kevin McCarthy from his speakership. Republicans, of course, have a slim majority in
0:37.1	the House of Representatives. They have in concert with Democrats removed their speaker.
0:43.9	And now we are in uncharted unprecedented territory as this has never happened before.
0:50.7	There will be a new race for the speakership. Kevin McCarthy, per NPR and a number of other
0:57.7	media outlets will not run for Speaker again after being removed. And it's really critical to
1:04.5	understand that extremism is the reason we are even here today. McCarthy actually was removed
1:12.4	for doing the right thing in this case. And it reminds us how extreme the mega wing of this

2:06.8	do that because he worked to avoid a government shutdown. We are now here with the removal of a
2:14.4	speaker of the house for the first time in history. Newt Gingrich and, and by the way, part of the
2:22.2	delight of all this, I want government open. I want programs funded, et cetera. Part of the delight
2:29.3	in all of this is number one that now they are going to have to waste time trying to get a new speaker.
2:36.4	And number two, Republicans are turning on each other, eating each other, devouring each
