After it took 15 votes for Mcarthy to become the Republican Speaker of the House - we are seeing the right in the US more divided then it has been in years - here's why.
Today I am joined by journalist and progressive Oliver Willis (American Independent, formerly Media Matters for America) to discuss the divisions within the Republican Party, from Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in the House, to Rob DeSantis and Donald Trump eyeing for the Presidency.
We then explore the current state of the Democrats. How has Joe Biden been in his first 2 years in charge? Will Joe Biden run again and if he doesn't who will be the Democrat candidate?
And finally we discuss January 6th's impact on the world, after the recent insurrection in Brazil by Bolsonaro supporters.
