20230104 Nicole Sandler Show - Burning Down the (GOP) House

The question is how low can McCarthy sink? It's obvious he knows no shame, but this is embarrassing. With each subsequent vote, Kevin shrinks further into the abyss of no return.  As I continue preparing for today's show, I see that McCarthy now has no chance of winning in the fifth round of voting, so they move move to a sixth round next.
