Starting point is 00:00:50 free of charge bet mgm operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming ontario i'm ben micellis from the midas touch network after ousting MAGA republican speaker of the house kevin mccarthy the republican, the MAGA Republican Party, as it is now known, is in complete and total disarray. If you don't believe me, just ask them. Here is the former advisor to Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan and John Boehner, laying out the electoral case against Republicans, saying Republicans are no longer fit for governing. Play the clip. This does not get any better. What Dusty Johnson said is absolutely right. We are not right now fit for governing. We are a party much more made for being
Starting point is 00:01:37 in the minority. We like to vote against things. My whole issue with all of these folks is their problem is not really with the Speaker of the House. It wasn't with Kevin McCarthy. It wasn't with Paul Ryan or John Boehner. These guys just don't like the realities of governing. Here is Republican former press secretary to George W. Bush. He's a right-wing host, Ari Fleischer. Here he says how undisciplined Republicans are today. Play this clip. The Republican Party today just can't govern. Nancy Pelosi with a five-mult majority, she was able to govern. The Democrats have become the party of discipline and the Republicans have
Starting point is 00:02:16 become the party that lacks discipline. Here is MAGA Republican Congress member Garcia saying that the self-inflicted drama jeopardizes the MAGA Republicans majority in the House of Representatives. You think? Play the clip. For America, this party, this majority, and I fear that this self-inflicted drama of today jeopardizes our majority. Here is MAGA Republican Nancy Mace blaming Republicans for bringing America to the brink of a shutdown. Play the clip. Usually the deadline is supposed to be October 1st. We've already missed that deadline. And I put this on the fault of Republican hands who promised the American people
Starting point is 00:02:53 we were going to follow the law this year, and they didn't. Here is MAGA Republican and right-wing host Newt Gingrich referring to the MAGA Republicans who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as traitors. Play the clip. Ninety six percent of the Republicans voted for McCarthy. Four percent voted against him. From my position as a longtime Republican activist, they're traitors. All eight of them should, in fact, be primaried.
Starting point is 00:03:22 They should all be driven out of public life. What they did was to go to the other team to cause total chaos. We ought to be focusing on Biden. We ought to be focusing on the economy. We ought to be focusing on the border. Instead, you're going to get a week or 10 days of the media focusing on Republican disarray. It's an astonishingly destructive behavior by a handful of egocentric people who think they're superior to 96% of the conference. And here is Sean Hannity saying that now with Kevin McCarthy, God, the MAGA Republicans want Donald Trump to be the speaker of the House.
Starting point is 00:04:01 It's a cult. Y'all play the clip. McCarthy will not seek the speakership again. Now, sources telling me at this hour, some House Republicans have been in contact with and have started an effort to draft former President Donald Trump to be the next speaker. And I have been told that President Trump might be open to helping the Republican Party, at least in the short term, if necessary, if it's needed. Anyway. And now the other group of MAGA Republicans want to expel Matt Gaetz for the ethics investigation that they have into Matt Gaetz for his sexual
Starting point is 00:04:39 assault and alleged drug use, alleged sexual assault and drug use, alleged drug use and other alleged conduct that's part of their ethics investigation. Play the clip. I am therefore, you know why they did it? Because ultimately Matt Gaetz, who hates, let's be clear, he hates Kevin McCarthy, was determined to find a way to get to today. Let me be very clear. And I think it's disgraceful, and I hope they expel him from the conference. Did you know that your temperature at night can have one of the greatest impacts on your sleep quality?

Here's Matt Gaetz saying Kevin McCarthy would get booed at any rally or event like Lindsey Graham played the clip. Congressman, President Trump took to Truth Social this afternoon, and he said that why is it the Republicans are always fighting among themselves? Why aren't they fighting the radical left Democrats who are destroying our country? Now, I know you've had conversations with President Trump, and you intimated that he was, you know, you understood where he was coming from,
Starting point is 00:07:14 and it seemed to indicate that maybe he was maybe in favor of what you were doing, but wasn't going to say so publicly. What can you tell us tonight, since he really is the leader of the party, and you are a MAGA Republican, and he really is the leader of the party and you are a MAGA Republican and he's the top dog? So what do you say? Absolutely. I support President Trump, eager to campaign with him. Probably our private conversations I'm going to keep to us, but I think I'm in pretty good stead with the former president. You'll see me on the campaign trail with him soon. And by the way, you know who you won't see on the campaign trail at a big rally?
Starting point is 00:07:42 Kevin McCarthy. Because if Kevin McCarthy took the stage at a Trump rally, he would be booed off of it like Lindsey Graham. And here, Kevin McCarthy isn't even sure if he's going to stay a member of Congress anymore. Play the clip. I look forward to your positive questions. Yes. Well, I'll look at that. What are their priorities still? Here is James Comer, MAGA Republican, saying that they are still continuing impeachment inquiry into President Biden,
Starting point is 00:08:16 even though they don't have a Speaker of the House. We're going to read some emails. Play the clip. Accomplished a lot. There's a lot yet to be done. The impeachment inquiry is stalled until there's a Speaker. Absolutely. Still on. the clip. Here is MAGA Republican Matt Gaetz saying that based on his conversation with Donald Trump, he's confident that Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:08:52 wanted to see what's going on right now in the House of Representatives. Play the clip. How do you respond to the former president? I would say that my conversations with the former president leave me with great confidence that i'm doing the right thing and that's quite here is maga republican chip roy calling out matt gates and saying that there should be a fistfight between the two play the
Starting point is 00:09:17 clip come at me and call me a rhino you can kiss my ass look i've spent a lifetime fighting for limited government conservatism i have laid it all on the line. I have not seen my family for two days in the last 30 days. You go around talking your big game and you thump in your chest on Twitter. Yeah, come to my office and come out and debate, mother. You know why? Because I'm standing up for this country every single day. And those are your MAGA Republicans, folks.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I mean, it's really embarrassing. It's really a shame what the Republican Party has become. I know legacy media wants to normalize the behavior, but remember, folks, do not call any of that conservative. There's nothing conservative about that. It's cult worship of Donald Trump at its worst. It is strange. It is bizarre. It is dangerous. We're going to keep calling it out. And on the other side, you have Democrats. And by the way, you may disagree. Certain Democratic policy, all good. I don't agree with everything the Democrats do or President Biden does, but they're adults. They are professionals. They are disciplined.
Starting point is 00:10:20 They are working on issues that Americans care about. They're talking about the economy. They're talking about lowering prescription drug prices. They're talking about making education accessible, protecting social security, protecting seniors, protecting students. They're talking about protecting veterans with things like the PACT Act, bringing jobs here to America with the CHIPS Act, investing billions of dollars in the semiconductor industry, massive infrastructure projects, 37,000 infrastructure projects across the country, protecting social security. This is what Democrats are focused on, folks, real things. MAGA Republicans, total disarray and chaos. The decision's clear. Put in the comments
