Speaker-less / Rudder-less: The Friday Show

CLR show 1858. Air Date October 6, 2023.  The House republicans have once again done the unprecedented and unimaginable. With McCarthy booted out of the Speaker slot, the ever-certifiable Jim Jordan has tossed his jacket into the ring and gotten the predictable support of panic-stricken, racing-to-the-bottom Donald. The only problem is, on Earth 1, the republicans will need democratic support to elect a new Speaker, just like they needed it to get rid of the old. And they won't get that support until a rational contender emerges. Which would suggest, unless enough republicans come to their senses, we are in for a long government shutdown once the current CR expires, and may still be Speaker-less when it does. With Friday Co-Host, David Bach.
