All right, welcome back.

And joining us now is Joel Scousen.

Always great to talk to Joel.

I like his, he's got a very original take on things, and he can back them up with information.

Of course, you'll find his newsletter and get a sample of that, I think, at world affairs brief.com. He's got a lot of books

to tell you where to select a strategic location to live in the United States, which is getting

more and more important. He's been doing this for quite a while, how to build a secure house

and many other things. You can find those books at joel scousin dot com thank you for

joining us joel good to talk to you david it's always good to be with you thank you we're living

in uh interesting times aren't we as we were discussing briefly and as we're getting you uh put on here

you say wow we look at what is going on in the house uh Historical day, as we have the Speaker for the first time thrown out,

Speaker of the House, first time that's happened.

What's your take on all that?

Well, and for a very good reason, you know,

the only reason he got to be Speaker after 15 votes was that he made some very specific promises

to the Freedom Caucus and especially

the hard-line conservatives as part of that caucus there aren't totally unified but he broke those

promises in the April deal with President Biden where he passed that on the spending bill which was way over budget and didn't

consult the conservatives and so basically Matt Gates as leader of the hardliners

in the Freedom Caucus said if you don't stop this if you do it again we're

gonna oust you a speaker, and he did it again.

And Matt Gates in his press conference, it wasn't a formal press conference, he just gets besieged by the press as he leads the House chambers.
