Welcome to Making Sense of the Madness.

I am Jason Burmiss sitting in for Sean Morgan,

and we've got a heck of a show for you today.

We're going to be sitting with one of the powerhouses behind the Gateway Pundit Joe Hoff.

We'll be back after this.

Music after this. Buckel up, folks, because we have a lot to discuss from the vote on the Speaker of the House to the outcome of the midterm elections, where we go from here.

And of course, the beginnings of some of the biggest January

6th trials. We have Joe Hofft here to join us, and the Gateway Pundit has been at the forefront

of real journalism, in my opinion, over the last decade, like few conservative outlets have been. So it is an honor

to have you with us today, sir. Thanks so much, Jason. It's good to see you again. Happy to be here.

Well, let's get going with the speaker vote, right? McCarthy seems to not be giving up. The media is

trying to portray that it's only four or five people that don't want him in as speaker when the number is more around 20.

And they don't seem to be giving up yet. This is the mainstream candidate that the Uniparty is behind.

What will happen in this situation?

Good question, Jason.

Lots going on already this morning, last yesterday.

There was rumors that there would be at least five people that would step back.

Five Republican representatives and not vote for him. That was maybe a week ago,

which would be enough to prevent him from being speaker. And then really a couple days ago,

that number had increased to maybe 10 to maybe 15. And then on the first vote yesterday,

we saw that there was actually 19 GOP reps that voted really against McCarthy.

They selected a number of different people.
