0:00.0 | All right, problematics. What's going on? So something very interesting happened last week, |
0:04.1 | which was that Kevin McCarthy got kicked out as Speaker of the House in Washington, DC. |
0:10.8 | And the reason that I want to address this now and really kind of want to spit ball about this |
0:15.8 | and talk about the severity of what's going on is because I came back to this platform because |
0:20.5 | I have this gift and also because I have a sense of how a lot of things work in the swamp. |
0:27.7 | And I've had this conversation with a lot of people and I think that they don't realize the |
0:33.0 | historical significance as to what has happened with Matt Gaetz basically orchestrating Kevin McCarthy's |

1:27.2 | we will remove you. That was the deal that Kevin McCarthy made to become House Speaker. |
1:33.2 | That was the deal that they made. And so you're hearing a lot of stuff. And basically, |
1:38.5 | McCarthy wasn't doing his job and Gaetz executed what he said he was going to do if he was not |
1:46.0 | doing his job, right? And so there's a lot of, there is a lot of chatter right now and a lot of |
1:53.1 | talking points to say, oh, this is personal between Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy. I believe that I saw |
1:58.0 | Kevin McCarthy do an interview with the press where he said, well, this is obviously a personal |
