Summary
The struggle to decide who will be the next Speaker of the House isn't just about who can muster the most votes...it's also about which side has the most will to win. Marjorie Taylor Greene has had her differences with House Republican leadership. But in the ongoing battle for the House speakership, MTG has thrown her backing behind Kevin McCarthy, and she has harsh words for those who are standing against him. She joins Charlie for some of the most fiery rhetoric we've ever seen on the program. Plus, freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna explains why she is a part of the anti-Kevin camp, and why she thinks he has no path to the speakership. Kurt Schlichter joins to provide his own take as an outside but interested observer.

| 1:15.0 | Kevin McCarthy has begun talks with Democrats about a deal to support a consensus candidate for |
| 1:20.1 | speaker or hold out from voting to ensure he needs to reach a lower threshold. So basically if |
| 1:28.9 | that is correct that means that Kevin McCarthy is trying to broker deals with Democrats |
| 1:36.6 | to become speaker of the house, doing a deal with the devil to become speaker |
| 1:42.7 | if the hills reporting is correct. And so there's two ways to interpret that. |
| 1:52.3 | The first way is that Kevin McCarthy is selling us out and is going to become a Democrat speaker. |
| 1:59.8 | Yeah, that is that's one way to interpret it. The other way to interpret it is that there was a |
| 2:05.0 | deal on the table and you push someone who is purely transactional which Kevin McCarthy has always |
