Hey there it's JVL on the secret show with Sarah Longwell today we talked about the Republican

Speaker-ship fight the war in Israel Donald Trump's new found admiration for Hezbollah and

a little bit of Taylor Swift too. Here's the show.

Last night, Steve Scalise,

after failing on his vote to get to 217, is that the number he needs?

Yeah.

Announced he was withdrawing his candidacy from the Speaker ship, which leaves just Jim Jordan and he'll try to get a

vote to 217 today I guess. I don't know I because there's some hard nose like I like part of you

know what keeps coming out is people saying like I'm an absolute never I'm There's never Jordan's out there in the conference and you can only have five of those.

Yeah, so that's that is up in the air. Maybe Jordan will try a vote. Maybe he'll fail. Maybe he'll succeed.

If Jordan can't do it, then we start getting into weirdo fantasy scenario world where I could see call for Donald Trump as the consensus Canada. I don't think Trump would do it.

But I could see there being like we could spend the weekend with everybody saying maybe Trump will do it maybe Trump will do it and he'll truth out something like a lot of people are asking me it's interesting

Maybe I thought you were gonna say weirdo scenarios because I'm I'm getting I can feel my West Wing fantasy politics

Oh, yeah start to tingle over like Don Bacon saying this is this is ridiculous and at some point we're going to have to start talking to Democrats

We're going to have to see what we can do and Kim Jeffries is out there saying we're ready to work with

some of you you only need five I have trouble believing that usually we're on

opposite sides of this I just I would like to manifest this because this would be best case scenario is some kind of a power sharing agreement in which or okay so either hekem Jeffries but also make Don Bacon Speaker

with the help of Democrats and have have an agreement that I don't know I don't

know what kind of procedural things these guys work out

between themselves but you get like a normy that you can work with for things like like

what if they what if they here just dream with me for a second. Okay.

You get someone like Don Bacon, Fitzpatrick, you know, get one of your normal guys and the agreement
