How McCarthy Walked The Line

Steve Turley explains how Kevin McCarthy straddled the line, giving himself and Republicans a victory in the U.S. House.

No, it wasn’t pretty nor was it close to perfect. But the end results still were preferable to what Mitch McConnell managed in the Senate.

So while we can give McCarthy some heat, we’ll reserve our more scorching fire for McConnell, as well as for Ronna McDaniel. Her days as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee should soon draw to an end. Here’s more from Turley.

McCarthy Squeaks By In House

Kevin McCarthy eked out a slim victory — 215 to 211 votes — over Hakeem Jeffries to be elected Speaker of the new U.S. House. There were five other votes cast, all by Republicans who had opposed McCarthy. But they voted present rather supporting another candidate on the 15th round of voting. It didn’t  wrap up until after midnight Saturday.

The Freedom Caucus, who openly opposed McCarthy, originally included about 20 members, but many of them switched their votes to him after he agreed to a series of rules changes that will provide more accountability over House actions. That left the five remaining holdouts who voted present, including Matt Gaetz of Florida and Lauren Boebert of Colorado,

Democrats And Race Relations

The Democrat Party has a lot to answer for when it comes to race relations. The party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan needs to look squarely into the proverbial mirror.

Says Sara Carter, “They keep using the word equitable. But instead of going into the communities, instead of addressing the critical issues, they say, ‘we need to give them some money and make things equitable.'” Carter welcomes Arizona U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs to the podcast to discuss the issue and offer solutions.
