| 0:00.0 | Well, we've got lots to get to you today. We'll get to the whining little crybaby Harry. We'll get to, there's a big fight here in New York about, this is one of the most important crime problems. We'll get to that coming up. We'll get to Donald Trump finally goes after Howard Stern. We'll get to the border, the wall, Joe Biden. We'll get to Congress. The House meets today. First session of the House with the |
| 0:24.7 | new speaker, Kevin McCarthy. Hey, Joe Bartlett, he got it done. How about that? Well, he was |
| 0:31.9 | persistent. Well, let's be honest, what it really was on Friday, he lost 14 ballots. You got to give him credit. |

| 1:38.5 | The world is watching. |

| 1:43.5 | Chaos. |
| 1:46.0 | So that was the fake news narrative then. |
| 1:50.1 | Now the new one is a hobbled, weakened, crippled speaker. |
| 1:53.3 | He's fine. |
