STEVE BANNON (HOST): Steve Scalise's speakership run is in extremis right now.
...
Steve Scalise is just a watered down version of, a not quite as slick version of Kevin McCarthy. Completely owned by the lobbyists. It's just DC cartel with a less slick front porch. It cannot happen. It would be a disastrous speakership.
...
If Scalise moves up, about the majority leader race, where you have Emmer and Hern and maybe Stefanik, you throw Jordan into that mix, that's really the speaker's race. It's completely open today because Scalise is not going to get there and I think you're going to see mounting -- more mounting opposition.
