Here's your summary from Why Congress Looks More Divided Than Ever (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owW-PozkkDc) on the Bloomberg Television channel:

### TLDR:

Consensus in Washington, particularly on foreign policy, is dwindling, with the Republican Party shifting away from traditional international diplomacy towards a more inward focus on domestic issues.

### Key Points:

1. Congress may have gridlock, but it still functions when necessary, passing important legislation like the debt ceiling and defense appropriations.

2. The traditional Republican Party that prioritized international diplomacy and partnerships, as seen in the era of George H.W. Bush, has faded, with a focus now on domestic concerns like inflation, climate change, and healthcare.
