I'm still disgusted we have to pay taxes to line the pockets of these self-serving clowns.
At least you get a paycheck.
🎶 🎵 We are the champions, my friends. And we will keep fighting till the end.
Our taxes also pay for Trump's federal motorcade full of secret service agents. Which he has for the rest of his life.
get yourself elected and work for free
would you say the same if it was Jeffries?
Don't forget, as charismatic as this man comes off, he was working hard to help overturn different states results in the 2020 election
Because there was fraud🙄
@scabcrawler632 No, there wasn't. You had 63 chances to prove it and failed 63 times. Get some proof and try again, cultist.😂

It’s now time to bring in term limits for all politicians. There is no way to keep politicians honest when they serve for decades in tenured post. They forget that they work for the people. They represent the people not big tech and big pharmaceutical companies and it’s time to remind the politicians that point.

1) One Term In, One Term Out for President, VP, Senators, Representatives. Serve while in, Run while Out. Run as many times as desired. Can't run if one has served any part of the present term. Gets us 435 non-incumbent representatives every odd January. In a few years, representatives will be comparing records with their peers. Harder work for Lobbyists. 2) Federal Employees end their Federal employment when their accumulated Public retirement quarters exceeds their accumulated Private retirement quarters. Keep unelected Bureaucrats from controlling or manipulating the USA. Avoid lobbyists manipulating the bureaucrats. 3) Change Federal Funding source to a Federal Sales Tax from the Federal Income Tax. Tax deductions no longer make sense. Loophole value disappears. Less need for Lobbyists. Encourage work. Purchase a big ticket item, pay a big tax. 4) Set the new Federal Sales Tax rate in odd Januarys to cover the actual spend of the last 24 months. Add 3% of the rate to the rate to pay off the national debt principle in 30ish years. Attribute the new rate to those who are out and running. 5) Understand the newly created environment and adjust the plan's workings. Just sayin'. Yes. Yes. Sales taxes are regressive.
With Biden at the top.
In a 2 party system it's party over people everyday. You don't do what the party wants they will find someone that will and they have. Appealing to big business is a small problem when you look at entire countries milking the American people as well.
Also, the government media umbilical cord needs to be severed. When media is funded by one of the two parties, or a combination of both on some cases, it never works out for the benefit of the people. Let it not be forgotten that it is a government for the people by the people
If the House staff has been overworked up until now, imagine how it will be when the House actually starts doing their jobs.
The staff is in no danger now. No is all a Republican knows how to say..
Common ground between Republicans and Democrats are Israel not Americans. USA is for sure in decline because of that

Pay attention to the ones not applauding when the bipartisan debt commission was announced...
maybe because we already know that there will probably be no such commission, we already know the GOP are responsible for 66% of the national debt and they aren't about to start looking into their responsibility in having created that debt nor their continuing expansion of corporate welfare that is the primary driver of poverty and homelessness in America. BUT let's assume they do go and create a commission, it won't be bipartisan... the GOP are not about compromise and working with others, they are authoritarian terrorists that stomp their foot, throw a few hissy fits, snivel and whine, torture a few migrant children for self-gratification, and demand that they get their way or else. The fascist GOP are an existential threat to the continued existence of America itself and are openly at war with the US Constitution and the civil rights of the American people.
Call me a cynic but they'll be the ones that know it will just be a tool to promote neoliberal economics that hurt the most disadvantaged and disenfranchised whilst favouring the rich and further increasing the wealth divide.

We have to keep in mind that almost 100% of our democrat House members aligned with about eight renegade Republicans to remove McCarthy and caused this shake up in the House.

Truth and Justice are prevailing! It takes time to unravel corruption slowly, but surely it’s happening
Common ground? Well, he won't last long. Isn't that what got McCarthy ousted?
Lip service
McCarthy wasn’t an election denier. This guy is one of the ringleaders.
No. What got McCarthy ousted is that he made promises to both sides of the aisle, but he only kept his promises to the Dems. THAT is why he was fired. BTW - any Speaker who doesn't at least TRY to get a budget passed should be fired. That is the main job of the House. It has the power of the purse. For too long, it's just been a huge government ATM.
Every Democrat in the House voted McCarthy out. Good Job!!!
McCarthy was a slightly reformed RINO, who atleast on the surface, in dealing with the 'State' (Leftist) media, changed, as he developed the now required confrontational demeanor, that conservatives have been FORCED to implement. The 'State' media, as an appendage of the Democrats, never asked anything but softball questions of their colleagues on the Left, and as such, to the public, they come off as relaxed cordial centrists, who do nothing but wait in the center aisle, waiting for conservatives to join them. It's gaslighting at it's best, which is what the Left has been doing to this country, as they push their Marxist policies on the country.
its not government spending that is the reason that everything costs so much, its the greed of the big companies and their owners. no one should have more money than many countries.
Hey, open your eyes. The govt allows the big businesses to get bigger. It's a secret handshake, and it is why lobbyists and insider trading exists
Everything should be free and everyone should get free money…. We should own nothing and be happy ✊🏿
No, it’s the crooked corrupt government
The company's are mad they have to pay more taxes, so this is their way of making us STILL pay their TAXES ! The DISGUSTING CRUDS.
Green with envy, I see. Keep your nose out of other people's pockets. This is coming from the grandson of a carpenter and a son of a mechanic.
Separation of church and state be damned....

Nancy Pelosi and all democrats are election deniers. Cope harder hypocrite
On July 2nd, 1915, Leftist anti-capitalist academic, Erich Muenter, bombed the US Capitol as a protest against the war. On March 1st, 1954, a group of four Puerto Rican socio-Democrat nationalists entered a Capitol observation gallery, and opened fire on the legislative floor below, wounding five Representatives. On March 1st, 1971, a Left-wing extremist group called The Weathermen bombed the US Capitol. On May 19th, 1972, The Weathermen bombed the Pentagon. On November 7th, 1983, the far Left communist group, M19, bombed the Capitol. On July 24th, 1998, Russell Weston walked into the Capitol, and shot & killed two Capitol policemen, allegedly while attempting to assassinate Representative Thomas Delay and Speaker Newt Gingrich, both Republicans. On September 11th, 2001, radical Islamists bombed the Pentagon, killing themselves and 184 others. On January 6th, 2021, a group of Conservative demonstrators were ushered through barricades by Capitol police, and guided into the Capitol. The unarmed protesters fired no shots, planted no bombs, set no fires. Contrary to initial hysterical media reports, no legislators were harmed or killed, and no police were killed, however two unarmed demonstrators were killed. Democrats immediately labeled the incident a failed insurrection attempt... literally an attempt to overthrow the US government... by a group of untrained, unarmed, mixed gender, mixed race civilians, young and old, with no communications infrastructure, no organization, no battle plan, no chain of command, no logistic support, no small arms, no heavy weaponry, no explosives, no infantry support, no artillery, no armored support, no air support, and no plan to install an interim government. Hundreds of arrests were made, most of which were almost immediately released, but some are still being held prisoner by the radical Left, with no bail and no trial... for fifty seven months now. Then, on January 8th, 2021, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, in an obscene display of divisive political grandstanding, called the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, and discussed options to initiate a military coup to take control of the government away from President Trump and his administration for the next twelve days until President-elect Biden could be installed. General Milley declined to participate. In the passion of contemporary political discourse, inconvenient truths of history tend to be ignored.

I'm so excited! This is the BEST political speech I've heard in years!! He seems like a really good man!!!
"Seems" is the operative word there. He's a far right Christian evangelical & Christian nationalist who believes we should follow Biblical law, not the laws that were enacted by duly elected officials. No way. Separation of church and state. Freedom of religion -- or -- freedom from religion.
It was his humility and references to God, prayer, and Scripture as well as his associations with good, solid Christian ministries like Focus on the Family and Liberty University that make me feel he is a good man. We need leaders who pray and respect God. Also the Bible teaches us to respect and pray for our leaders whether we voted for them or not. I didn't vote for Joe Biden but I respect him and pray for him. We need to take serious our National moto "In God We Trust."

What we saw was democracy in action. We saw democracy in action win eight Maverick. Republicans voted with almost 100% of democrat House members to remove McCarthy. We saw a democracy in action when the Republicans were bumping into each other having difficulty to elect a speaker. But now we see democracy in action now that the Republicans have got their act together and we now have a speaker. Everything we see here has to do with democracy.
*The Trouble with the USA* We are a “flawed democracy” on the Democracy Index because of 1) the electoral college 2) plurality voting 3) the Senate 4) gerrymandering via the House 5) money in politics (aka, legalized corruption; Citizens United, lobbyists, etc)

@@bk7064 He is not capable of living in the shoes of those he prefers to harm. Perhaps only those identifying as republican should not be allowed abortions (he says babies are only meant to be pushed out to make more workers, after all),perhaps they should be the only ones not allowed to preserve their own life for a fetus that is not even viable but has to be held to term. There are many situations that he has indicated don't matter--his stance (as a man) would be the same. (Must not care that much for the life of his wife if he'd be ok with her life in danger over a pregnancy gone wrong or a car accident, perhaps. With his marriage aggreement, it's probably the only way he could get rid of her if he wanted to.) Miscarriages are also the body's way of aborting, so that's already on the line since the doctors that are trained in abortions are the exact doctors trained for the SAME PROCEDURES related to a miscarriage--and some states won't train them. 'Holier than thou' hubris. It's not acceptable in government proceedings. The founding fathers intentionally indicated separation of church and state for reasons such as this. Even they had knowledge of abortions during that time and occasion to seek them out. We are a nation determined to be FREE TO CHOOSE/NOT CHOOSE our own religion. It is not meant to be in government, not meant to suggest a ruling caste based on which religion/denomination one identifies with. How about concentrating on preserving life after it's born, nurturing with food, childcare so mothers have potential to earn for their family, real education (not with the ulterior motive of propagandising to pretend things didn't happen that did--other nations' children know more honestly what our history is than you would have ours know of themselves, for heaven sake!), learning a trade or many trades. Money should be spent on all educational facilities alike, not pushed only to wealthier and/or private schools. When the option is there to choose how/when and if to start a family, households are healthier and happier, have more potential to thrive. Why are republicans so against the nation thriving? Why do they want people living dishonest lives that they don't identify with? Creating phobias where they don't have to be. Creating 'culture wars' where there was nothing of the sort going on to begin with but it got them on tv or posting on a social media site so they will keep pretending. I thought they are supposed to be pro-LIFE? Why constantly attacking others that have different thoughts on the subject and constantly pushing to diminish and take away others' control over their own lives? You have yours, why be a busy-body in other people's lives? It isn't something that rubs off, except in a good way when you actually DO care about others--and not just pretend that's why you are attacking... Diversity brings invention and entrepreurial endeavors and accomplishments, the economy grows, the neighborhoods thrive. Why be so hard-nosed, closed-minded and small? That's why I find this particular speaker and his background track record an appalling choice for Majority Speaker position: someone who says he will work 'together' but told the minority leader that even as he suggested that deep in Mr. Jeffries' heart he 'knew' what needed to be done--ie. whatever the version the republicans present. I found that offensive because he was telling him to be subservient and do what he says--southern bigotry on display. He's a slippery one. Jim Jordan with smarm. Hopefully, they won't get anything harmful done and their games will cause them to give the House back to Democratic hands. The democrats have a broad tent of diverse voices, but guess what? They can actually work together and are willing to INCLUDE republican voices. Unlike the other side of the aisle who doesn't include anybody else.
I hear a politician which means say one thing but do another
Those were nice empty platitudes
On her knees 'praying'. Is that what the kids are calling it now?
Election denier who claims to be an honest Christian! WOW what a sad sad day!
Nancy Pelosi and all democrats are election deniers. Cope harder hypocrite
Hahahaha...Biden got 81 million votes?! hahahahahaha...yup i'm a denier too!
@@NicolasD414 Dang Nick! Dang it any way! You’re off by 100 million legitimate votes, gosh dang it Nick! Your a Dang~A~Lang 😤😂🤣🥲
@@doogey420 name calling is that all you got? Hahahaha...what are you 3 years old
Ugh, another failed preacher turned politician🥱
Maybe they will bring term limits to a vote. 😂
😂 Maybe WE THE PEOPLE can hire our own lobbyist to get that done.
When they do make sure you email your representative and let them know what you want - then watch how they vote and if you don't like how they vote - don't vote for them again. You can do this on all the issues when they do separate bills and not omnibus bills.
Strength alone is not enough. A stable America is necessary for the entire world. America's democracy is necessary for a stable America. A successful democracy depends on an informed electorate. Facts, evidence, education, and truth are essential.
We will soon see if we have been sold down the river !
So he said he wants us to know he is a puppet and only has the speakership because he gave the real power to a group of traders
When he said decentralizing the power and three quarters of that room stood up clapped while democrats set there. There should be equal power!
God bless and protect him for all those evil people in the House and Senate. 🙏
C span is going to be one of the best channels to watch with him
Sorry, this man is not qualified.
How did you come to that conclusion ? Explain
You are overqualified 😅
This man is going to be trouble. He is going to strip women's rights where ever he can.
That not everything..He is a disgusting guy.
Only democrats strip women's rights
That has already been done, move on..
You liberals are so delusional. Republicans are the ones that voted for civil rights and women's rights to vote. Democrats opposed it. Look it up. Abortion isn't a woman's right. It's murder.
Trans people already did that in women sports.
WHY? in TF? would they considered Kevin McCarty a speaker emeritus??? He didn't hold the position even a year! 😅
Hardly his fault their base is all insane trigger-happy idiots.
The best part of this video is that there was a no commentary from MSNBC. A channel I've found to be factually bankrupt
Mr Johnson Spoke very Well!👍Well Done!
🔥🔥🔥❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🙏🏼
After 9/11, the minister at my church wanted to make sure that we were not hateful to Muslims. He said that it is not religion that is the problem, it is fanaticism. This guy says some of the right things and is well spoken. That is why we must always remember what a fanatic this guy really is. Pay attention to his actions, not his words.
Name one.
He says "bipartisan" but will he respect that when he has demonstrated through his actions that he does not respect our elections.@@andrewphilpott3220
@@stillherenow500He has a right to legally contest an election. That does not mean he will not look for bipartisan solutions. He says he'll find common ground with Democrats. Let's give him the chance.
The election had already been contested. 60 judges said it was legitimate. Johnson sought to contest it in a state where he had no jurisdiction per the Supreme Court. He most likely already knew that and did it for show. That's why I say pay attention to his actions. But I was wrong about his words. Pay attention to those, too. His statement about blaming the human heart rather than guns for the shooting in Maine is completely heartless! He has shown who he is. Because of circumstances, we have no choice but to give him a chance to be better than that. Unfortunately, we are stuck with him for now.@@andrewphilpott3220
Another clown thrown into the ring. 3 years with the majority in the house and absolutely nothing accomplished.
Great. He’s eloquent. Now get back to work and do what needs to be done.
So good. Praying for all these people.
Religion is still the biggest threat to humanity.
Absolutely 💯
Wait for it…before you (and even I) know it, almost all of religion will be…well, you’ll just have to keep on the watch…while everyone else in these KZhead comments will be watching America and the world, I’ll keep my sights on the United Nations…
So many devils in this world. The democrats are evil people. We have had to put up with your evil pres. and you. I pray for your evil souls. Can never say anything nice. When you meet God will be a sad day if you don't repent now to God for your evil sins. Bless you, you are so unhappy.
YES FIX THE BORDER
12-30-23 Distractions in coming 🦆🦆🦆🆘🆘🆘🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍👌Thanks Homie Mike 👍👍👍👍👍
He never once mentioned Ukraine 🇺🇦 he wants the rest of the world to watch.... we are definitely watching 👀
He’s one of the House Republicans owned by Putin. This whole stunt was largely to hamper our support for Ukraine.
Good, Ukraine shouldn't be our priority. We have bigger problems that affect THIS country!
Why would he? AMERICA FIRST!
@@GengarsEvilSpiritAnd if Russia runs rampant through Europe,what say you then? Will you sit back and wait for an offer you can't refuse?
@@suehowie152 Russians are crossing the southern border in America. Joe let them in. Vote Trump 2024.
I could see why they picked him because of his speaking skills. I think we'll see then turn into BS but he did well for what he had to do. Let's see how long hypocrisy sticks to him.
I am amazed at Pastor Johnson's plan for Republicans to create the new government position of Supreme Leader and install Donald Trump as Johnson refered to as "Monarch Supreme".
No one should be there for 16 years, term limits.
Separation of church and State. Separation of immigration issues and the illegal drug industry.
I’m impress with this man so far , I believe he is in this position for “such a time as this “ been hidden there all this time ❤️🇺🇸
🤞🏽🤞🏽we sure have a helluva lot riding on him! 🥴
Yeah thank God we have a leader of the house that doesn't believe in democracy or facts. At least he knows his science well enough to be sure dinosaurs rode on Noah's ark
MJ has great integrity . What a refreshing change from the liars, the backdoor dealers , haters, socialists .... !
I agree. It's nice to have someone in that position that understands that we are a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy.
