Remember The Speaker Race

That's not going to change. Right. And then lastly, you have Clyde.

Andrew Clyde is not a very malleable guy. He's very he's it's funny because he's Canadian originally, not American born. But the man is as stubborn as an ox.

He will not budge. He's very principled and deep rooted in his belief. The only opportunity these people really have for budging one of the four nays is he sells.

That's the realistic path to budging this this rules package. So this is not a good scenario to be in. This is definitely at best poor tabulation of voting on on the side of the speaker.

And I I'm I feel bad. Oh, so it's Mike Johnson's fault. Shocking.

I mean, so it's him and the whip, too. I like Tom Emmer. But I know this one thing about Tom Emmer.

Tom Emmer is very straightforward with the speaker. For our listeners, what role does the whip play? Well, the whip is the head is the vote counter. But I knowing this because I've seen it, Tom Emmer will straight up go and says, we don't have the vote.

Guy Rushinsolver is a deputy whip. He will say we don't have the vote. And for the unbeknownst to me why the speaker tends to say, we'll get it on the floor, like we'll put it together with sticky putty and popsicle sticks.

And that's just not how you do this. You know, George is. So do they get most of their, like, quote, horse trading done on this? And then the next vote is mostly ceremonial because nobody wants to be.

It has to go. But we've seen people grandstand at the last minute before. Remember, remember the speaker race? Remember the speaker race? Exactly.

So understand that this right now is one hump and then it's the other hump. Because, look, for example, Massey voted yes on the on the rule. He is a gay.
