The search for a Speaker of the House is apparently over. All that remains is for
00:00:08.340
the Republicans to actually give Jim Jordan the necessary votes and the Speakership.
00:00:13.060
Today, they came up short once again, a third round of votes just concluding.
00:00:17.980
Remember, it took 15 rounds of voting for Kevin McCarthy to finally win the Speakership.
00:00:23.060
McCarthy, I should note, gave a very good speech today putting Jordan's name into nomination.
00:00:28.140
That is progress. President Biden addresses the nation and had the temerity to seek more
00:00:33.900
billions for Ukraine as he talked about Israel. And Biden just assumes American voters are oblivious
00:00:39.840
to our $33 trillion in debt that he largely ran up and the $2 trillion in deficits that he spent
00:00:48.020
since becoming president. Biden isn't satisfied with trying to destroy America with open borders,
00:00:54.080
apparently, or with runaway government spending, sky-high interest rates, and soaring inflation.
00:00:59.580
Now, he wants to bankrupt the nation and bankrupt and destroy our military.
