| 0:30.0 | Welcome to TYT, I'm your host, Anna Casperian. I gotta be honest. Today's show, it's a banger. |
| 0:50.2 | It really is. We're gonna start off with a deep dive into the whole McCarthy situation |
| 0:55.4 | that you will not get anywhere else, okay? I'm gonna explain exactly how Kevin McCarthy ended |
| 1:01.5 | up where he is today. Yes, he has lost six consecutive votes in seeking the speaker position |
| 1:10.0 | in the House of Representatives, but there's a whole backstory that you need to know about. |
| 1:14.0 | So I'll talk about that in just a minute. Also, in the second hour, probably my favorite story of |
