So today, that faction, the Maga faction, the anti-democracy faction, the far right, won

when they celebrated.

The chief architect of this battle, Congressman MacGates of Florida, took a victory lap

on Steve Bennett's program.

The Maga is ascendant, and if you don't think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to Maga

Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party

truly lies, then you're not paying attention.

Now, Gates is talking his book, as always, and he'll probably do 19 more podcast hits

before I come back and talk to you tomorrow night.

He and his coalition are proud of what they've achieved.

The majority of their caucus, including their new speaker, tried to overturn the last election.

And they're proud of that.

In fact, the message they're sending in choosing Mike Johnson.

And this is important for everyone to understand, because that's where we are.

Is not only they're proud of that, but they're unbound, and they are ready, and they

are willing to try again.

He said it.

He did it.

And he's here.

Republican Congressman MacGates, my live guest in studio in Washington.

I know it was a busy day on the floor.

Thanks for being here.
