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 form or 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, if you need to. 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. okay. 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, and milwaukee. and of course, i want to thank our vi

you obviously have dennis hastert who stepped in, then in more recent years you have john boehner, who i think wanted be speaker of the house in the late 1990's. there was a disconnect between him and the membership. obviously paul ryan became speaker and he was kind of roped into it. he was the one who said he didn't want to be at and they had to give him all of these reasons why he did. here we have mccarthy, who actually likes his members. he has been talking to them for years he knows them well. the reason he is on that road 250 days a year is not just for fundraising, it is to know his members in a serious and deep way. he likes the caucus. at the same time -- and this is equally important -- the caucus recognizes that what was going on in the later obama years we had a republican house but the democratic president, approach did not work when there is no ability to compromise, no ability to stay unified. if you stay unified you can have strong negotiating positions to get stuff done, as mccarthy proved with debt ceiling. you said it was a crisis. it was not a crisis in the sense t
