Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bow again. So today we are going to talk about McCarthy

and that circus that is occurring upon Capitol Hill.

Now at time of filming, I believe they have just finished the seventh,

I think, vote, and there's still no outcome but that may change in between the time this

is filmed and the time it goes public I feel like the Democratic Party is missing an opportunity to truly exercise leverage

and a lot of it.

And this is one of the main issues with the Democratic Party is they don't play hardball when they have the chance.

There are a lot of ideas out there about how things can go well for the Democratic Party here.

You know, talking about peeling off some Republicans to vote for a Democratic candidate, all kinds of stuff.

Most of it is incredibly unlikely and even if it was successful

it wouldn't really it wouldn't really accomplish a whole lot. It'd be a great

symbolic victory but I don't know that it would really do anything.

So what leverage do they have?

We have to be honest about what the speaker in the House is going to do over the next couple

years. Nothing. They're going to obstruct and they're going to hold investigations that are going to

amount to nothing. That's what they're going to do. Doesn't matter who it is.

That's what's going to happen. The idea that the right speaker is going to somehow further

some kind of Republican policy, that's silly. There is no keynote Republican policy that is going to make it

through the House and then make it through the Senate and they get signed by

Biden. The Republican Party, they're not interested in governing, they want to obstruct,

they want to make things as bad as possible for the average American so they stand a better

chance in 2024.
