It really helps the channel out. Folks, welcome to the show. I'm your host, Carmine Sabia

And Donald Trump's hat, the former President of the United States' hat, is in the ring

to become the next Speaker of the House officially. He's officially a candidate for Speaker of the House

He was nominated by Representative Matt Gaetz, who is one of the holdouts who is not allowing

Kevin McCarthy to assume the role of Speaker. Now, Gaetz is the only vote for Trump so far

But first, let's look at can Trump become Speaker? Yes, he can, as I've explained on this channel before, but for those of you who may be catching

the first video, I'll explain. You don't need to be a member of the House of Representatives to become the Speaker of

the House, which is really a rule that should be fixed, but the way it is right now, you

don't have to be. Now, it's always been that a representative has been the Speaker of the House

There has never been an outsider as Speaker of the House. But we're getting down to the nitty gritty

There have been 11 votes for Speaker so far, and nobody has won, and the House cannot get

to its work until such time as a consensus is reached on a new Speaker

At this point, Kevin McCarthy has given away so much to try to become the Speaker that

it's becoming tougher and tougher to even do that job if he gets it

So he's set up a threshold where just one member can call for a vote to have him removed

from the Speakership. I mean, he's given into that. He's given into members of the Freedom Caucus being on the Rules Committee

He's given away everything at this point just to get the role of Speaker, and you have to

wonder how effective can he be governing that way. And it may be time for him to step aside and select somebody else

Now, Trump's name is in the ring officially, and you have to wonder, is this the guy that

can get the consensus? Is this the guy that can get everybody together to vote for him from the Republican Party

so that we can have a Speaker of the House by Monday, by Friday

Who knows? It's a long shot. It's a super long shot, but what's an even longer shot is Democrats getting on board

to back any Republican, and it seems to be just as long of a shot to get these five Republicans

to back anybody that they don't like. And they seem to be holding up the entire process to get what they want

So it's not about principle anymore. It's about they just don't like Kevin McCarthy

They don't think he's going to do a good job, and that's that. And these five people are going to decide for the other 200 and something that he's

not going to be Speaker. If that's the case, there's nothing you can do. You can't move them

There is another scenario where they can make a deal with enough people that they can

get a consensus pick, change the rules so that you don't have to get a majority

You just have to get a plurality of the votes, in which case McCarthy then could win even

without these five. But that's a whole nother topic, and it might happen, and it might be something we have

to discuss, but not right now. Right now, where we are is in the 11th hour after the 11th vote, the longest in almost

200 years. And it's about time, I think, that the Republicans get it together because right now they're

looking like they can't govern, and that's a bad look for the party

And it's certainly a bad look to the rest of the United States. So let's get it together

Let's get a Speaker. And if it's Donald Trump, boy, that would be entertaining
