Rational Boomer Podcast

Headed into another week that promises to be crazy. That seems to be the norm these days. We have a number of emails to address. One of my favorite things to do on the show.  Among other things we spend some time talking about Donald Trump, our favorite POS.

After the 14th ballot to elect the Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy failed to get elected. Largely due to the fact that Matt Gaetz double crossed his own party.  Well things got a little contentious on the floor and Rep. Mike Rogers looked like he wanted to get a piece of Matt Gaetz. Let's get into it.

After 15 ballots the House of Representatives has elected a Speaker of the House and his name is Kevin McCarthy. It didn't look like Kev had a shot but ultimately he got. Frankly I don't think that's a bad thing. Hear me out. Let's get into it.

In three days the House of Representatives has held eleven ballots to elect a Speaker of the House. However, in the those eleven ballots they have failed to elect a Speaker. Kevin McCarthy has lost eleven times. So what are they going to do now. Well of course they are going to keep voting for the same people. Let's get into it.

Well after two days and 6 ballots the Republicans have yet to elect a Speaker of the House. This is an embarrassment to the party and stagnates the House of Representatives . Which means nothing is getting done for the country. Let's get into it.

The Republicans tried three time to elect a Speaker of the House to no avail. This is the first time this has happened in one hundred years. The Republicans are embarrassed because if they can't agree on a Speaker how the hell are they going to Legislate? Let's get into it.

Today the Republican members of the House of Representatives will vote to elect the next Speaker of the House. The problem is that the heir apparent Kevin McCarthy can't get the 218 votes needed to be elected. This hasn't happened in 100 years. This will become chaotic and will certainly weaken the Republican majority in the House. I could become a beautiful mess. Let's get into it.

Kevin McCarthy is becoming desperate with tomorrows vote for the Speaker of the House. It's not looking good for him. He's doing some horse trading and giving away a lot of the Speakers power and stability. It's going to be quite a show. Let's get into it.
