finally, i would note that speaker dennis hasterter did concede that. he did not want to become acting president, but unlike senator hayden pastor indicated he would have accepted the responsibility. quote, i really didn't want to be president permanent or temporary pastor call. and with my wife jean who wasn't thrilled with my present job. she wouldn't be happy with this. the opt-out provision in the 1947 statute might have seemed to track but i understood that it wasn't really an option because if you've got a constitutional crisis and you're the speaker. you couldn't pass it up. you had to accept. unquote the words and actions of wade martin hayden and hastert each indicate the lawmakers themselves have given some serious thoughts becoming acting president. what i hope this brief presentation has outlined because the prospect of a speaker or ppt becoming acting president and potentially flipping partisan control. the white is a very real one. this is reflected by the fact that lawmakers themselves have given some thought as to what they would do. wer

and the hastert rule was nothing will come to the floor of the house unless he's got the majority of the majority supporting it at that point, it can move forward. however, when brian became speaker, i don't think this was deliberate. i think it was nature of what had happened in in the members that were sent there. it pretty much got to a point where. nothing came to the floor unless we could pass it on our so unless we had 218 republican votes, we didn't want to basically get anybody mad. and so nothing nothing could have happened without that. so what that meant then was that everything was directed from the top and we had less power in that case. and so i'm struck by the congress unwillingness to jealously invite, guard their authority. article one of the constitution, they are very willing to that authority off to a president. and two recent examples would be the the us senate under president trump controlled by republicans and. they just all kind of rolled over when when president trump didn't want us bothered going through the process. advise and consent for cabinet positions.

so they asked him, put, put in dennis hastert of all people, you know, it was might as well been bob michael, who was the the previous uh, the loyal opposition. minority leader who as you said, you know, did, they did nothing. so you know the system as an abided people like this. but what we have now is an entire sort of parallel infrastructure is rising up. it's far more vital farmer. truthful and touches people or reaches people far better this uh, this media fascist media propaganda combine that we've had in corporate uh, you know, corporate media for years and that's gonna make the huge difference. yeah. be kennedy's all over all this. i mean, these are easy. well, i mean, you know, but bobby kennedy and tucker, carlson and jimmy door, i would even say they have a lot they, they've given us permission not to hate our neighbor and that is refreshing. okay. you weren't, we don't have to hate ok. that is an inspiring message coming from the gentleman folks we've run out of time. i want to thank my guest in new york, denver, and in milwaukee. and of course, i want to thank our viewer

so this goes back there was a story about in the book about dennis hastert, former speaker of the house, who bought up a whole bunch land before a big highway going through. he actually had an earmark and a budget or something and so this this goes back forever. right. and that is just that's what that's so corrupt. yeah. compared to just being a member of congress who owns buildings where apartments are rented condos. right. so this story that you're talking about more is more recent and it has do with the squad. and this is in the latin chapter and. so basically what happened is covid, there pressure from progressives to put a moratorium, evictions, you know, during covid shouldn't they said you shouldn't be allowed to evict somebody from their home which, you know i can understand that. but what's interesting is that these progressives then went out of the way to say, but we have to reimburse landlords, we have to pay landlords. if the renters can't pay, we have to pay the landlords that i'll get i as a kind of a center right you know carlos that makes perfect to me but it seems a li
