0:00.0	Hey guys, Liz Wheeler here. I wanted to give you a sneak peek in what we do on locals on the
0:05.2	Liz Wheeler Show.com slash locals. This is for VIPs only. We do this every day. An entire
0:10.1	extra segment of the show where we talk about pivotal issues and then what we are going to do
0:14.6	about those pivotal issues. Today we're talking about leadership elections in the House of
0:19.1	Representatives. Yeah, that's happening right now. And what's interesting about this is it's not
0:23.9	just a matter of who's elected speaker of the House. So it's not just a matter of Kevin McCarthy

1:18.4	myself here. I've been focused on the Senate leadership elections because I think Mitch McConnell
1:23.9	has to go. I think it's time. It's long past time to fire Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell,

1:35.7	in the sense that his personality and his brusque mannerisms and some of the things that he,
1:40.1	some of his political maneuvers are fun to watch. So I've said to you, I've said this to you before.
1:45.3	We've talked about this many times actually that it's hard to dislike him even when you don't like
