I want to get to two different stories real quick that are really important heading into next year.

0:08.3

And number one, it deals with House Speaker Johnson.

0:12.4

There have been a lot of people that are out there that have been trying to start a war between Speaker Johnson with the CR and with Donald Trump and wanting him to lose a

speakership.
