Let's face it - Congress is a little bit of a mess right now. After going to the brink of a government shutdown, just days later Matt Gaetz led a rebellion against Speaker McCarthy leaving the House of Representatives Speaker-less, void of the ability to govern. 8 Republicans joined every Democrat to remove McCarthy, and things are in disarray. Even Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell referred to the situation as a "Hammerlock of Dysfunction." So what happens now? On this week's Flyover Country the crew breaks down everything you need to know about the Speaker battle and what to expect going forward. We also update folks on the KY Governor's race and talk crime in our nation's capital. Join us on Flyover Country!
