Summary

Well, he did it. As threatened, GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz has called to “vacate” the Speaker’s chair and successfully ousted Kevin McCarthy. Establishment defenders on both sides of the political spectrum are decrying the move and the “chaos” that has overtaken the GOP House caucus. Meanwhile, leftists who supported the #ForceTheVote movement are throwing up their hands and wondering why The Squad never wielded their power in similar fashion against the House Democratic leadership.

Jimmy and guests Craig Jardula and Kurt Metzger discuss Gaetz’s willingness to embrace the wrath of his own's party's establishment.

Plus a segment on the sheer inability of Russiagating Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers Bill Maher and Sam Harris to confront their own demonstrably wrong positions.

Also featuring Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and George Clooney!
