RUSH TRANSCRIPT MOHYELDIN Sahil ░░░░░░░░ is great to have ░░░░░░░░ with us You have ░░░░░░░░ new piece out on ░░░░░░░░ com breaking down all ░░░░░░░░ this What I think ░░░░░░░░ a perfect headline Republicans ░░░░░░░░ a bad day and ░░░░░░░░ on what we have ░░░░░░░░ over the past 24 ░░░░░░░░ it is safe to ░░░░░░░░ that is an understatement ░░░░░░░░ is going on with ░░░░░░░░ GOP KAPUR Yesterday was ░░░░░░░░ a jarring distillation of ░░░░░░░░ the problems that are ░░░░░░░░ House Republicans whether it ░░░░░░░░ the fractures in governing ░░░░░░░░ most of the House ░░░░░░░░ against that government funding ░░░░░░░░ Their speaker of the ░░░░░░░░ Mike Johnson negotiated said ░░░░░░░░ was a good bill ░░░░░░░░ was this disenchantment of ░░░░░░░░ that we saw on ░░░░░░░░ Mike Gallagher only 40 ░░░░░░░░ old widely seen as ░░░░░░░░ rising star in the ░░░░░░░░ He is the chair ░░░░░░░░ the select committee in ░░░░░░░░ He has decided not ░░░░░░░░ is he retiring but ░░░░░░░░ is leaving early he ░░░░░░░░ leaving in about a ░░░░░░░░ which is going to ░░░░░░░░ thin the ranks of ░░░░░░░░ Republican majority Ken Buckley ░░░░░░░░ a reminder remember he ░░░░░░░░ his stature on the ░░░░░░░░ after demanding that his ░░░░░░░░ stand up his party ░░░░░░░░ leader stand up and ░░░░░░░░ reject the big lie ░░░░░░░░ the 2020 election was ░░░░░░░░ That of course did ░░░░░░░░ go his way and ░░░░░░░░ became a downward spiral ░░░░░░░░ him from there We ░░░░░░░░ the infighting that crept ░░░░░░░░ again when Marjorie Taylor ░░░░░░░░ issued that threat to ░░░░░░░░ out a vote to ░░░░░░░░ speaker Mike Johnson Now ░░░░░░░░ difference here is that ░░░░░░░░ is not actually triggering ░░░░░░░░ vote That is the ░░░░░░░░ between what Matt Gaetz ░░░░░░░░ which was when he ░░░░░░░░ it he actually triggered ░░░░░░░░ They had to hold ░░░░░░░░ within two legislative days ░░░░░░░░ has kind of written ░░░░░░░░ out on a piece ░░░░░░░░ paper and she is ░░░░░░░░ it over Speaker Johnson ░░░░░░░░ if you step out ░░░░░░░░ line with me I ░░░░░░░░ going to use this ░░░░░░░░ you That is where ░░░░░░░░ are right now She ░░░░░░░░ t seem to have ░░░░░░░░ whole lot of friends ░░░░░░░░ some of the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ voted to remove Kevin ░░░░░░░░ including Matt Gaetz who ░░░░░░░░ just a few days ░░░░░░░░ do not support removing ░░░░░░░░ Johnson at this moment ░░░░░░░░ are battle scarred from ░░░░░░░░ experience last fall Things ░░░░░░░░ not end up getting ░░░░░░░░ better for them because ░░░░░░░░ Johnson ended up just ░░░░░░░░ the government funding bill ░░░░░░░░ the lines of what ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy had negotiated You ░░░░░░░░ t change the physics ░░░░░░░░ Congress the mass of ░░░░░░░░ simply by replacing a ░░░░░░░░ Democrats still control the ░░░░░░░░ and the White House.”
