I'm Dr. Lorry Sandos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.

it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.

that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.

Kevin McCarthy is out as the Speaker of the House.

The question now is, what happens next?

I'm being told there's a very good chance it could be Steve Scalise.

Would Steve Scalise be a great speaker?

Steve Scalise is a man if you remember that was practicing for that

congressional football game.

When that attempted mass murder in a mass shooter decided to start mowing down

Conservatives who were practicing for that game. Steve Scalise was one of those that was hurt very badly. He was able to come back from that. I'm being told that there's a very good chance that Steve

Probably. And I also think that we need to get this done very quickly.
