| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. |
| 0:03.0 | So today we are going to talk about the race for the |
| 0:06.0 | speakership in the US House of Representatives |
| 0:08.8 | and how all of that is working out, because it's going great. So one of the more interesting |
| 0:21.2 | developments was a number of Republicans that would like to have McCarthy back. |
| 0:33.0 | McCarthy back. back. |
| 0:34.0 | So right now you have Jordan and Scalise, those are the two top |

| 1:47.0 | There's not a lot of people coming out saying yes that's the person I want. One of the major dividing points is what to do about the |
| 2:01.0 | eight. There are a large number of Republicans who would like |
| 2:06.8 | quote accountability for the eight people who triggered this giant mess. |
| 2:16.8 | And it seems unlikely that Jordan would provide it. |
| 2:22.4 | Scalise hasn't said much, but I don't know. |
| 2:27.7 | My guess is they'll pick one person to be accountable. In the background, there is a movement and I believe they have won so far to get a few Republicans to flip to vote for |
