Good morning. It is Thursday, January 5th. It is seven minutes after nine. And this is the Kennel and Casey show on 93 WIBC. Are you ready for another day of making friends?

Well, let's go.

So the House of Representatives are going to try again today to elect a speaker after not succeeding after not one, not two, not three, not four, not five. But yes, six attempts over the past two days.

Kevin McCarthy of California. He fell short in every single round, unable to win a majority of the votes that were cast. The House will reconvene again today at noon.

This is so awesome. I can't even begin to tell you how much joy every time they vote on him and he loses. It brings to my heart and to my soul because it is so rare.

That conservatives don't buy into the establishment narrative that we make the rules. You don't have any choice because whatever garbage we give you is better than a Democrat.

And maybe this. I think this has the potential. We'll see how it plays out. But I think this has the potential long term to have big ramifications, hopefully not just in terms of the speaker vote, but in terms of how conservatives view their role in the Republican party.

What did we see here the past year? You must vote for Duke of spendingburg because you don't want a Democrat in there. You must eat whatever garbage we give you. And that is why it is so important that these conservatives continue to stand firm because hopefully it will be a message going forward to conservatives all over this country.

You can let Republicans lose. It is okay. At some point you have to assert yourself or they will steam roll you forever. And there is not much of any difference between establishment Republicans and Democrats.

Okay, so this whole thing is flushed out some really interesting political oddities. One being that Lauren Bober is going against Trump. Chip Roy getting a lot of TV time. And it's been a century since the House required required more than one vote to select a speaker. So this is just proof of fragmented opinions and are very unvictorious parts. She voted present.

And said that there needs to be a return to deliberations. We need to talk about this some more. Okay, but but they want to do it behind closed doors. She doesn't want to talk about it in public. Let's talk about it in public.

Let's this is what we're doing right now. We are talking about it. We're talking about it in public. And what Victoria Sparks did yesterday was was a total cowards move because she knows we're going to play phone calls later.

And in these phone calls, you're going to hear what people think of Kevin McCarthy. You're going to hear with the base of the Republican party, the people who knocked on doors for people like Jim Banks and Victoria Sparks, think of Kevin McCarthy.

Jim Banks went on Tony Cat show yesterday and defended Kevin McCarthy. And I wanted to puke. That was gross. And then he went out there and voted for the guy three more times. Jim Banks and Kevin McCarthy same dude. Now he's in bed with the Kevin McCarthy plan, which is the Mitch McConnell plan, which tells you Jim Banks is elected to the US Senate. He will be a Mitch McConnell. Yes, man, because Mitch McConnell wants Kevin McCarthy. Victoria Sparks. Same thing. They know what the people want. But at the end of the day, they bend the knee to the establishment. Why I'm getting on

camera here for those of you watching some YouTube chat so you can see me. That's where the money is. And at the end of the day, losing the money and fearing losing the money is more important to these people than fearing you. That's on us, Casey. We've created the environment in which they fear losing the establishment money more than the people. And the message out of this should be because they're both probably going to be running for US Senate. Jim Banks, Victoria Sparks, no different. There is no difference between these people. You have to get it through your head. Every single member of

the Indiana establishment, other than Victoria Sparks has voted for this guy six times. And Victoria Sparks didn't have the, well, she's a woman, so she wouldn't have those, but didn't have the, you know what? To actually pick someone good, like Byron Donalds, actually put her name behind someone who would actually make a difference because she knows where the people are. Victoria Sparks knows where the people are. And she tried to split the baby because she doesn't have the courage to break from the establishment. Okay, so it's almost embarrassing that this hasn't happened sooner.

That means for the past 100 years, all of these decisions have been based on back door deals. Absolutely. And what are these back door deals? What are, what are they saying in these deliberations? Who wants what and why? Does any of it have to do with you and me? No, it's all about what they want. They're making out. By the way, I think we have Victoria Sparks trying to explain her vote. Do we have that? Yeah, let's take a listen to that.

What do you have for a minute? We need to move the needle. Can you move the needle? We need to come along, right? So that wasn't so serious. Okay, specific you want. Okay, that way. I want to deliver. So we have a speaker because we have to get to work. If American people accept it, get to work. But we can't let you sick us off, and we don't have that. So the only way for us to get the speaker to go back to the room, to do the growing board and discuss. Okay.

Yeah, perfect. That was what I wanted. So the only way for us to get a speaker of the house, who will control theoretically the federal budget, it's for her and her Republican colleagues to go into a back door room and cut deals with each other.

That is gross. Does that mean that's been happening for years? Of course it does. But now we know about it. It's out there now. And think about this. This is a woman who said, I'm going to go there and be different.

I'm going to stand up for you. I'm going to stand up for the folks. What's her default movement? Well, we must go in a back door room where you can't see what's going on.

But these 20 people, the 20 viewers saying, no, no, we're going to do it in public. And we're going to tell you what our grievances are. And we're going to tell you why we don't like this guy. We're led to believe that 20 people Casey are the problem. No, it's the 201 people who voted for Kevin McCarthy. They're the problem.
