Summary

This week, Intercept D.C. bureau chief Ryan Grim returns to Bad Faith to explain everything we need to know about Nancy Pelosi stepping down from her leadership position in the house. Why, two years after force the vote, have progressives still not contemplated a left candidate for leadership? Will likely minority leader Hakeem Jefferies be a bigger threat to progressive interests than Nancy Pelosi? Why are conservatives so willing to openly fight for leadership, while squad members continue to fall in line? Why wont progressives ever Force The Vote?

0:07.9

the blue checks are correct because these structures in place make it so they couldn't do anything at that

0:15.6

0:28.0

have to do the things that they don't want to do, that they want to say they want to do, but they

0:32.9

don't want to do. So you are right, but because they've built the walls, she's also right because

Ari says he thinks that you could just hire and fire and then it was just politics. Pat, Pat,

0:48.2

Leah, he was like, I don't know. I'm going to lose my mind if you do this. So Pat Leah, he can

0:52.3

lose his mind. He's a challenge and being like, you know what? Look, I'm a leader, let me lead.

0:56.0

And I need my own parliamentarian. So then what happens? Pat Leah, he, oh,

1:17.8

that looks crazy. Patrick Leah, he's the one that looks crazy. And the American people have an

1:22.0

opportunity to vote his ass out of office and vote all of these people out of office because they're finally
