6:56Now PlayingThe search for the next Speaker of the House has been a complete mess over the past few weeks. We had Kevin McCarthy up for it at one point but he was forced out by the Freedom Caucus and other extreme right-wingers. Here comes Paul Ryan to save the day… after you meet his list of demands. John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jayar Jackson, and Elliot Hill (The Lip TV) hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Paul Ryan has a list of demands.
First, Paul Ryan refuses to agree to anything in advance of being elected speaker. He will not pre-commit to anything the Freedom Caucus wants.
Second, He wants the Freedom Caucus to publicly endorse him for speaker anyway. This would require four-fifths of the Freedom Caucus to vote to support him.
Third, he want the Freedom Caucus to agree to rule changes that would vastly limit their power moving forward. Specifically, he wants to eliminate their ability to oust a sitting speaker by making a motion to “Vacate The Chair.” This is where, fundamentally, the Freedom Caucus derives much of their power.”*
