Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and the
0:04
Speaker's race has just gone nuclear. After House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was
0:10
ousted from his position by Matt Gaetz, seven other rogue Republicans and all of
0:16
the Democrats, a new name has entered the fray and that name is former President
0:21
Donald Trump. Before we get started folks as ever and always I know I say it all
0:26
the time but it is so important please make sure you hit that like button hit
0:30
that share button it does wonders for the channel and our movement. Also please
0:34
comment and subscribe really helps us out. Folks Matt Gaetz was removed on
0:40
Tuesday by a vote that included all the Democrats and eight Republicans with a
0:47
razor-thin majority in the house it was almost going to be impossible for him
0:51
with a one-vote motion to vacate to keep that speaker's position and I would
0:56
suggest that the next speaker whomever it is get rid of the one-vote motion to
1:00
vacate because then well you have hundreds of speakers essentially and not
1:05
just one and it's really hard to govern that way regardless of what you think of
1:09
what McCarthy did as his job regardless of how you think he performed it's gonna
1:16
be incredibly difficult for anybody to govern that way when one member of the
1:19
house can basically hold them hostage. That being said Troy Nels of Texas he
1:26
came out with a very interesting nomination in fact he's gonna file the
1:30
paperwork to do it he is nominating former President Donald Trump for the
1:35
office of Speaker of the House. Now some of you may be wondering how can that be
1:39
it's very simple you do not have to be an elected representative to be the
1:45
Speaker of the House anybody can be the Speaker of the House you watching this
1:50
video right now can be the Speaker of the House I can be the Speaker of the House anybody that gets a nomination and gets the votes can be the Speaker of the
1:58
House there is no constitutional requirement of age there's no constitutional requirement to be a representative there's not even a
2:05
citizenship constitutional requirement there's nothing in the Constitution that says who the Speaker should be other than they will be elected by the elected
2:13
representatives but they don't have to be an elected representative so Trump
2:17
now for his part he's he's kind of poo-pooed this idea in the past but last
2:23
night on Fox News Sean Hannity said that Trump's actually open to the idea of
2:28
being Speaker of the House. Now how it would work and Jim Jordan said he would
2:32
support this even though Jim Jordan has now entered the speaker's race Marjorie
2:37
Taylor Greene said she would support this how it would work essentially
2:41
according to Hannity is he would serve as a temporary speaker while campaigning
2:46
for the office of president and then hopefully he wins the office of president and he would then resign the office of speaker and move on to the
2:53
presidency and Republicans would pick a new speaker provided they keep the house
2:57
again during the next election. So it is complicated business it's in my opinion
3:03
a long shot I don't think that Trump is really serious about it but man if he
3:08
was could you imagine the Democrats in the house having a deal with Speaker
3:13
Trump I mean that would be worth watching every single day C-SPAN would
3:17
become one of the highest rated networks in the country if that were to happen
3:21
You also have to wonder what would happen to his criminal cases and his civil cases I mean if he couldn't be there because he's doing the work of the
3:27
American people how would those cases proceed? It would be very interesting to see how
3:32
this shakes out folks. Again I want to remind you to please like and share it
3:37
really really helps us. Also please make sure you comment because I really want
3:42
