0:00.0 | Well, the Republican Congress seems to finally be at least trying to get something done. |
0:05.6 | Prince Harry is on a national and worldwide therapy tour, and we're going to talk today about |
0:12.4 | why transparency is usually a good thing. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged. |
0:18.0 | Well, hey, everybody. Welcome to Off the Bench. This is Heidi St. John. Thank you guys for joining me today. |
0:31.8 | I, so this is my, this is Wednesday. So this is the day that I like to go through the headlines and |
0:37.7 | sort of recap what's been happening for the last couple of days in the news. And as I have often |
0:45.1 | said, you know, you can't make this stuff up. Like most of the things that we're reading about in |
0:49.5 | the news right now are just absolutely hysterical to, to, to even talk about. So I thought I'll |
0:55.4 | just go over a couple of them with you. And then I really want to talk about transparency. And I'll |

1:45.4 | Kevin McCarthy is the chair finally of the Republican Party. And I got to tell you guys, I wasn't really |
1:50.7 | a fan of how this thing was going down mostly because I'm just like, you guys are a bunch of |
1:56.0 | buffoons. This is embarrassing. But I have to say I am pretty encouraged so far by what I am seeing |
2:03.6 | come out of the new Republican Congress. And I think that those 20 holdouts, hopefully, |
2:09.8 | unless Kevin McCarthy, you know, folds like a paper airplane, they're going to actually get some |
