Summary

Another wild week in the GOP may have far-reaching consequences beyond just the hand-to-hand combat for speaker. Joe and Alex welcome back Trygve Olson to discuss why "don't negotiate with terrorists" may not apply to Kevin McCarthy, who may be the first hostage elected Speaker of the House in history (if he even makes it that far). And why the whole Trump-Fuentes-Ye fiasco might have bigger negative implications for voters than the larger media narrative assumes. Plus: Why we may have a bigger opportunity to drive people off of Trump and Trumpists coming into 2024. And why Joe actually quoted Newt Gingrich... praising Biden?

0:00.0	Hey everybody it's Joe Trippy and welcome back to that Trippy show.
0:11.5	This week Democrats are in whatever the opposite of disarray is.
0:17.0	The House Geopetho is a whole different story. One of the biggest impacts of Democrats overperforming in the November 2022 election midterms is something we have not talked a whole lot about how chaotic the GOP is going to be.
0:32.7	Oh, wait, I've talked about that.
0:34.5	So we thought we'd welcome back our friend, Trivialson,
0:38.0	who we've been working with to mess with MAGA Republicans
0:41.6	since we joined the Lincoln Project to break it all down.
0:45.4	Trivie, welcome back.
0:47.0	Thanks for having me on, Joe.
0:48.5	It's always good to be here with you guys.
0:50.4	Alex, get us started.
0:52.3	Where do you want to go? Yeah, guys, I think this one's going to be really fun today. This is kind of the
0:56.6	culmination of a lot of calls that the three of us have been on for the last
1:00.9	several weeks and something we started really talking about.
1:04.0	Joe, again, you're right, you've hit it for months how crazy it could be, but right now with, as you said,
1:11.4	Joe, the effects of the 22 midterms, the GOP does not have anything like a big majority in the House.
1:18.0	There are dozens of totally nuts right-wing members of Congress the
1:23.3	MTGs of the world, the Jim Jordans,
1:25.6	who have zero faith in Kevin McCarthy
1:27.8	as speaker whatsoever.
1:30.0	So I wanted to start with, first of all,
