0:00.0 | Kevin McCarthy's job hangs in the balance after Democrats bailed him out to avoid a shutdown. |
0:06.0 | Maggot Congressman Matt Gates saying today that he'll file a motion to kick McCarthy out of his job this week. |
0:12.0 | Senator Chris Murphy is here with his reaction to what has been a wild weekend on Capitol Hill, and he's coming up first. |
0:19.0 | Plus, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg |
