In the thirteenth episode of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, Charles argues that the ongoing freakout over the House of Representatives's apparent inability to find a Speaker is silly. Perhaps the opposition to McCarthy is frivolous. But it's not a national security threat, or a crisis. Next, Charles talks to Andy Kaplan, a cardiac electrophysiologist, and Steve Pirris, a neurosurgeon, about the effects on the heart and the brain of the cardiac arrest suffered by Damar Hamlin during last Monday's NFL game.
