No, we brought your discussion.

This is the next generation of talk.

Now, this is the drive at 5.30 minutes of non-stop talk, with Rich, CEO Lee.

Well, Kevin McCarthy has been removed as the speaker of the House of Representatives in a historic vote after conservatives rallied and said,

enough is enough with this guy. He's got to go.

House in chaos. Who will take over? That's the question. Welcome to the show. Glad you're here.

It is the drive at 5, and one year anniversary of moving back to afternoon drive.

Now, tell you what, I'm so glad I did. I really am. As much as I love, love, love this breaking news.

I mean, being able to react to this stuff in real time and bring this to you, it fires me up.

So, in case you're just joining me, the vote was 216 to 210 to remove McCarthy as speaker of the House.

Now, it's going to be interpreted a couple of different ways.

So, let me first tell you how some Republicans are going to interpret this.

That Matt Gaetz sold out to Democrats to get one of their own taken out, and that this was a move that's completely disloyal,

and that Matt Gaetz should be ashamed of himself because now the Democrats feel like they're able to take out a Republican.

That's going to be part of the spin.

But actually, I reject that spin. I think McCarthy had a comment, and I think what happened here was, once again,

we got over the weekend another continuing resolution, all about funding for Ukraine, keeping the government open,

as long as the Democrats get whatever they want, with not even a game of chicken being played with these people.

And McCarthy even said, he made a comment the other day. He said, if I lose my job being speaker for keeping the government open, so be it.

So be it.
