Analysis of Republican Party's Leadership Challenges (Part 2)

But leadership elections are at the top of the list. Do we expect any drama? Because last time the drama is what led to sort of an agreement on Speaker Johnson. And this was a guy who was not running for speaker, did not aspire to be, was not talking about being speaker. But after ballot after ballot, after, you know, candidacies falling apart before they even started, I think the Republicans really want to try to avoid that as much as they can. They already look in many ways like a party sort of, you know, in disarray. The nuclear fallout dust is still settling on them. So I think they're going to want to make this look as streamlined as possible. But the fact is they're really smarting within the party about what went wrong, what could have been done differently or better. And so both of these guys are very well known, very well liked, very strong personalities. They're going to have to make their case. And I don't think either one of them is just going to roll over. I think there's going to be a little bit of a fight. When we hear the Democrats talk about how they're going to be investigating the the president doesn't sound nervous about, about that. He says that they've already called and there are things they can work on together. Unless he says the Democrats are destructive. But many Democrats are talking about investigating the president and his family, holding hearings into ICE and sending even ICE agents to prison. I think that's what Pramila, Jay Paul was saying. Are Republicans nervous about any of this? Some of them might be. But the president, as you guys know, as are all of our listeners and viewers know, I mean, he's been lawyered up for decades. I mean, this is something that is not new to him, this idea that he there'd be probes into his personal life, into his business life, his kids, their businesses. So I think for him, it's not that he's not afraid. I think he probably is unafraid. It's just business as usual. I think for them that they understand this is part of what has been part of Trump world for a long time, since he stepped into the national political stage. I think there are others who were farther down the ladder who are certainly worried because even if you are completely innocent, when you're dragged into an investigation, it is a very expensive thing that can bankrupt even just defending yourself. So I think there are probably people further down the chain who are a little bit more worried about this than the president who's like, listen, I have fought these things off for years. I've been dragged into court. I've been investigated by the doj. I've been investigated at the state level. I've been tried at the state level. I mean, this is just kind of business as usual for him, this holiday. All plans, even unlimited, are just $15 a month. A holiday deal this good obviously deserves an enormously expensive holiday song like All I Want, right?
