In this episode, Damian and Max discuss the historic ousting of Speaker McCarthy and its implications for the Republican Party, Progressives, and the future of American politics. We also explore the potential solutions for the GOP and Progressives in the wake of this event.



The party is now facing a leadership crisis, and it is unclear who will be able to unite the party and appeal to a broader range of voters. Some potential candidates for Speaker include Representative Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan. However, it is unclear whether either of these men would be able to unite the party.

In this episode, Damian and Max discuss the recent labor activity by SAG-AFTRA, the United Auto Workers (UAW), and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). We talk about what recent wins mean for workers in these industries and what they can teach us about the power of collective bargaining.

The WGA secured a new contract that includes increased pay and residuals, better protections for writers working on streaming services, and a commitment from the streaming services to work with the WGA to develop new policies and procedures that will protect the rights of writers. We talk about what this win means for writers and the future of Hollywood.

We wrap up the episode by summarizing the key points of the discussion and offering our own insights on the future of labor relations in the United States. For more content visit oxinstitute.org
