Tax the church if they want to play politics.
That would make them even bolder.
Yes, this is a valid proposal.
Absolutely Right!
@@tulsacaupain2882 Maby.
Would you say the same thing if the church preached more support for the poor? For a justice system and a social system, and a lifestyle among its members that treats everyone fairly? That's the message from my church.
I am often very frustrated by the Democrats but one of the things that makes me proud is that broadly different party members such as Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden or AOC and Nancy Peolosi work to find common ground and indeed friendship. How could you ever hope to build a coalition of all American citizens if you couldn't even work things out within your own party?
If you are elected to congress, part of the job includes working across the isle in order to get things done for the country as well as your constituents. If you cannot, then maybe you should consider some other form of employment or Better yet GET VOTED OUT !
Excluding of course Joe Manchin and Kristen senima?
We welcome all and work out the bull.
What's with the BS of Repubs needing to "save" the country? If they would go away we will be just fine. Don't need them.
You are dreaming
Judges need to stick to law. Religion is personal. Governing is for all people and the country.
Exactly
Mike Johnson if you can't fund Ukraine or border bill then RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN OR QUIT
Exactly anytime someone tries to get something done takes two steps forward they take 10 steps back. No plan just chaos.
my body...my choice...it's between me and MY God...there is no THIRD party involved!!
Don't we wish that were true ? But we have to keep fighting the absolutely horrible republicans , to regain our rights as women , to make our own reproduction decisions , with whomever we choose to share those decisions with . And the educated knowledge , skills and abilities of Dr's., and other medical professionals .

That is why the Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil governance. The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793) _“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797.

Indeed.
Learn about the structure of the American government, lady. Abortion is a state-level issue, which is how it's properly structured now. Anyone can still get an abortion. You want it to be a federal-level issue? Then pass an Amendment to the Constitution giving people the right to an abortion. The issue with Roe V. Wade is that judges improperly decided that it should be a right (legislated from the bench), not the Congress, which is how it should have been done. See? That's the problem with democrats. Not only are they criminals, liars and cheats; they're also completely clueless. My suggestion is to quit watching 100% leftist propaganda networks like MSDNC and Certainly Not News (CNN) who consistently lie to their small, but loyal and very ignorant viewing audience.
Don't bring Religion in to political arena!
Too late . They are there . We have got to vote them out . Then start to repair their damage to our country and Ukraine . And keep going from there .

I agree religion has NO place in politics!
Yes, its called separation of Church and State!
What ever happened to separation of church and state?
The religious right wants to take over the entire Country, watch the handmaids tale. that will give you some idea on what these guys want to do......
The chaos is incurred through the actions of one person, who is unfit for membership in the House! She needs to be removed!
Enforce the separation of church and state....
And the freedom of speech part, too.
@@reason6835It's actually not enforced at all and you're willingly blind to it. Christofascist just like the rest.
@@V1brationCanine: What laws has Congress passed that respect an establishment of religion or prohibit the free exercise of religion?
@@reason6835That ISN'T enforcement. That's the law.

Everyone SHOULD be psyched to turn out for Joe Biden. The alternative is beyond a horror movie. There will be no going back if you stay home this November.
Perfectly right. We are terrified in Europewith the perspective of Trump coming back.
Vote Joe Biden for what? What are the benefits. What has he done for the better of our country? Please convince me with evidence instead of telling me you don’t like trump because of his personality.
Agreed
Biden IS getting the job done. Yes it is slower than anyone would like but it is getting done. If you want proof look into the bills that have been passed that help the economy, infrastructure. They are easy to find, they are the ones voted down by gop and then bragged about by the same people.."look what I have done for you". Boebert lied to her constituents about bringing great things to Colorado after voting no for same. Those were Bidens! Yes there are things that need to be done, but it won't get done with trump.
Not just Trumps personality. His policies were dreadful. Biden has invested in green jobs which is essential. He improved infrastructure & kept inflation low with the inflation reduction act. Build back better needs to come back now Manchin and Sinema are keaving as it was groudbreaking. Healthcare costs were reduced but a lot more needs to be done. Plus I havent even mentioned abortion rights. @@Jsy.incorporated
Separation of church and state.
Always
NO Mike....the mission is to legislate and gets things done for the constituents. This is the most selfish party EVER.
Absolutely totally agree 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💯💙💙💙💙💙💙
If he thinks their mission is to "save the country" then the House needs to vote for Hakeem Jeffries and get legislating for "We the People."
Deluded
When the person at the top is the world's biggest baby, what would you expect?
Yes it is, they have no feeling of obligation to their constituents, because they don't care
Some gave Capitol tours to terrorists
Absolutely totally agree 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
How can they oust MTG?
Mike Johnson saying they want to save the republic is one of the most laughable things I’ve heard him say.
"Save the Republic." That's real rich coming from the GOP.
Yup. Save it. From Americans. For the “right” Americans. They’ll never see most of us as actual citizens, therefore the country can’t benefit us. Only them. Gotta have the right skin color and worship the right way. The rest of us are just Godless vermin in their eyes.
They mean their version of the “Republic”!!
He means save the republic with God. His version of God.
Johnson is just another traitor.
💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
How many men die giving birth? that should end the question on women's rights to health care
EXCELLENT POINT.
I completely , and totally agree . And I will keep fighting for women to have the right to make health care decisions , for themselves, with the counsel of Dr's, and other skilled educated , knowledgeable medical professionals . Not police , lawyers , judges , on local , county , or state , or federal , governments .
I wish I could give your comment a thousand plus ticks... well said 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😌
I totally agree: It's a women's thing.
Even if you are a Pro-Life woman, what are your qualifications that mean you get to make decisions over medical organizations, doctors, and the individuals having to make their healthcare decisions? I can never get an answer.
Good for you Ari Melber. You presented the issues of abortion, etc logically and then listed the reasons one fights against government interference in choices that belong to a woman. This is abuse of the use of government.
Everybody talks about how Johnson might be AFRAID of losing his Speakership, I'm still wondering if he even wants it anymore. He kinda fell into the job when nobody else wanted it, and seeing the clown show he's supposed to wrangle, I wonder if he wouldn't see it as a "loss" so much as a blessing in disguise to bail out while he can.
Fund Ukraine! Please and thank you!
💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
During the state of the union speech, GOP senator Langford from OK was nodding to everything Biden said about the border bill! GOP tanked Landford’s bill for Trump!
Yet he still endorses Trump over Biden so I have no sympathy - I hope he is ostracized.
As a Texan, that Bill was funding for Ukraine. Don't be Naive
And then censured him for doing the job he was asked to do by his own party.
Absolutely agree 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
No problem we r watching and laughing at the magadonians
Bottom line is they've tried to criminalize health care in general for women to the point it affects all women whether pregnant or not. That's not a winning strategy.
I want the MAGA Trump Cult out of my Government!!

PREACH! 🙌🏽
I totally agree!!! They need to lose their seats!!! They have not did anything this year except dysfunction!!!
You mean you want the World Stage to change their act. What would you have to be upset about everyday then. You’re a harlot for the propaganda.
Johnson speaks of "no dissent" rather than compromise or setting aside of differences. That tells you everything you need to know about the republican party.
Important point! Totally agree.
THERE IS NO REPUBLICAN PARTY! IT IS THE TRUMP'S MAGA PARTY WHO TOOK OVER THAT PARTY!
If Trump is the answer you are asking the wrong questions.
It’s gotten to be entertaining to see how low they will go. That are complicit!
Now the speaker says we need to save the republic,for the first time in years I agree with a Republican statement,we need to save the republic,from the gop.
Exactly 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
Johnson has the right last name for his personality and attitude
Let's recap puppet Biden's record: Facilitated the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, facilitated the attack on Israel by Hamas, left $85 billion dollars of high-tech military equipment behind in Afghanistan to be taken and used against the United States, facilitated millions upon millions of illegal aliens to pour over the border and have the American taxpayers pay for all of their needs and be subject to their crimes, illegally forgave student loans to be paid for by the American taxpayers, caused sky-high inflation and interest rates by printing money out of thin air, stole classified documents while vice president, kept them in unsecure locations and distributed their information through his crime family for financial gain.
Court rulings showed several state maps were unfairly gerrymandered, which makes the current GOP majority inaccurate at best, and a overt power grab at worst
Brilliant, impeccable commentary, Ari Melber! These Republicans are absolutely nuts. A Dutchman, I am watching from the Netherlands.
That Alabama justice hasn't any business in governance in any state of this 'union'.
"The government does not belong in the bedrooms of the nation." P.E. Trudeau
Can we now have Jefferies as Speaker, he's the real speaker anyways.
Noo. too much work!
I don't know if that would actually be a good thing, except actually being able to bring bills to the floor for a vote. GOP would still be an obstruction and it would still be a narrow majority. If there were a good number of reasonable GOP members that would vote with Democrats, things could be done, but I don't think there are any reasonable GOP members left in the House.

iu^^5njjn A rude statement by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the future presidential elections in the United States on the Tonight Show led to a negative response in American publications. Jimmy Fallon, the host of the program, asked Clinton to appeal to voters who do not want to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. "Step over yourself. The choice will be only from these two options," Hillary Clinton said. This is American democracy. Which brings the people under the wrong choice of the president, there are few candidates. And this is the vaunted American democracy)))). The whole WORLD is laughing at the USA))))).

I'm not an R, but I were Johnson I'd tell them how about if I resign and give it all over to the Dems? Or you can shut up.
Great ID😅EA
He can't just resign, he'll have to quit congress and not be replaced in his district before the next election and have maybe a couple of other GOP members do the same thing for the dem to have a majority in congress to elect a new speaker
that was suggested to McCarthy... his pride stopped it, and I suspect Johnsons will too.
That would be sweet if Johnson was the deciding vote for Hakeem. But it will not happen!!

Atheists should sue that judge for putting his religious views in his court decisions.
Everyone should sue him! He has no place in American jurisprudence, no matter what your religious views are. He threw out the First Amendment with his establishment of the Abrahamic God as the standard by which to determine people's rights. Disgusting beyond all measure!

A woman saying, "no", is the point. It's not about babies. If it were there wouldn't be such a high infant death rate in their own state. It's about putting woman in their place. Which apparently, they believe is in the kitchen according to the response from the State of the Union speech.

Most of the money allocated to Ukraine stays in the U.S. in the form of jobs to manufacture supplies.
As much as republicans are tear apart from within, democrats should double that effort in standing together where it counts right now….VOTE BLUE.
Totally agree 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙
Democrats are already doing that.
Mike Pence and Mike Johnson want every American to have the freedom to do what Mike Pence and Mike Johnson want them to do. Praise God.
Praise Be
Heaven help us.
DONNIE IS THE "ANTICHRIST45" youtube
Little fascists
These people are nuts. Searation of church and state.
Mike Johnson is a clown. He should do everybody a favor and resign. The GOP has zero respect for him.
He's just another king trumpy forever , court jester hustling for best jester trophy from trumpy .
Totally 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
I live on the other side of the planet, I have no respect for Johnson or the Republican Party.
republicuns think he will give the presidency to trump when republicuns dispute the outcome of the 2024 election.
The entire "GOP" is a collection of clowns. They should all resign.
He says "We don't need any declension right now!" a hypocrite who rose to power because of it!
Separation of church and estate is FUNDAMENTAL.
The problem with Marge is that she has no idea how our government operates.
Well, duh? Now that he's in power, Johnson is singing a different tune to stay in power. In a way, I think it's hilarious that these Republicans are reaping what they've sown.
As Lyndsey so eloquently said, "If we nominate trump he will destroy us and we will deserve it."
Exactly 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
But they are hurting others in return. Go ahead and fight with other republicans but stop interfering in progress towards border security and national security. Vote on the security bill to allow money to be sent to Ukraine. If they don’t they are choosing Russia instead of the United States. That is not putting America first. Trump doesn’t care about the American people. He only cares about money and power, the same as Putin!
Separation of church and state the government is not in the business following peoples religious beliefs
Please don’t be a transphobe! Happy Trans Visibility Day! Thank you President Biden.
(7:55) Ari Melber: "Take Florida,.." My internal dialogue: "...please."
Save the republic? He is the threat
I hope Johnson does lose his Speakership. I am so sick of him. American lawmakers need to get to work for the American people.
Get religion out of government like the Founders intended.;
Unfortunately if he leaves, only a more extreme MAGAT will get the seat. That’s the sad reality of this group. Thy elected complete nuts into the house, all the normal conservatives are resigning nd leaving the sinking ship. Only the chaos actors are really left. There are no real patriots left in the House, none t speak out for the sake of the country.
They'll only replace him with someone worse. Marjorie Greene won't rest until she's Speaker of the House or Vice President. She'll burn the house down if she can stand in the ashes as the winner.
He never should have been elected speaker.
Let's recap puppet Biden's record: Facilitated the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, facilitated the attack on Israel by Hamas, left $85 billion dollars of high-tech military equipment behind in Afghanistan to be taken and used against the United States, facilitated millions upon millions of illegal aliens to pour over the border and have the American taxpayers pay for all of their needs and be subject to their crimes, illegally forgave student loans to be paid for by the American taxpayers, caused sky-high inflation and interest rates by printing money out of thin air, stole classified documents while vice president, kept them in unsecure locations and distributed their information through his crime family for financial gain.
1 or 2 Republicans aren't team players ..... more like only 1 or 2 Republicans 'are' team players.
They're Team Trump now.
The team [layers are retiring or resigning. I don't have any sympathy for any of them. Just keep asking people to vote them out until they are less than 25 percent of the house and do the same for the Senate.
💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Except, those are the ones leaving.
Or it could be that 90% of Americans are sick and tired of sending our tax dollars all around the world, causing death and destruction .
NON ELECTED JUDGES /OFFICIALS- VERY KEY
Master Class News...👍💯🇺🇸⚖️
Biden/Harris for American democracy and freedom in November 🇺🇲☮️
Also for open borders
Absolutely totally agree 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙
If you like endless foreign wars. You Democrats really are sickening.

We still oppose the Hard Right GOP’s idea of governing by force not what’s good for the American people.
This is great news!
Mike Johnson: doesn’t want dissent and chaos Also Mike Johnson: endorses Trump
Wants to keep his Job when Trump gets reelected.
It’s like an episode of The Twilight Zone
Another word for CHAOS - GOP - vote for democracy and America- vote blue 💙 💙 💙
Nothing says ORDER like Biden/Harris! 4 more years!!!!
Fox said the same thing about DNC. Numbers are more important than words. TRUMP 2024.

Come on Langford speak up don’t be afraid speak up up
So how long has it been since the house passed a budget? And why are there only 2 house members that will push some accountability?
Oh No! That judge needs to be recalled!
Correct! That Judge looks like a dime store cashier ... with that oversize cap on his left front tooth ... can not even find a dentist to measure his tooth correctly and we expect him to measure the rights of those who are the ones who are able to get pregnant or choose to wait until they are through school or happily married with money to feed a new baby. The evangelicals are great telling other religions what to do and what to think but they are incapable of figuring out what to tell them when they have a baby they can not feed or house or educate because they are still stuck in the rhetoric of what they believe is the Word of God in their translated over many times since it was first written so they could lie to people and tell them that this is truly what God said when no one has a clue any more because the religions of Christianity have changed it so many times that they lost the original text hundreds of years ago. They also do not respect other races and their religions either ... their evangelical faith is for evangelicals and not for Christians who are Catholic, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc. They can not take other faith's liberties and freedoms away in America ... they need to find a remote island and built their church upon it and live with all those who think, look, like themselves ... and even then they will not be able to make themselves happy ... without freedom of choice ... no one wins in a democracy.
Yup!!
He continues to be the laughing stock worldly 🌍.
That would be Joe Biden
Trump? Obviously.
@@bobevans9955 WRONG
@@bobevans9955 Not a chance. Trump says Putin is "a great guy" and "a terrific person." President Reagan would kick his fat a$$ in public for praising that commie Soviet. 🇺🇸
@@bobevans9955 I currently live overseas & trust me on this, Trump is a global laughing stock U& an international embarrassment! Go look at the UN response after both Biden's & Trump's speeches then tell me who they laughed at!
Dems should offer to save johnsin in exchange for ending the debt ceiling permanently.
Now that scab45 has taken over the RNC and like a "mob" boss he gets a taste of every donation no matter who the money was donated to.
Hopefully many good Republicans will form a different party separate from these MAGA freaks!
It was obvious how the MAGA crowd was always going to eat their own . . . we are now watching it LIVE.
Those quotes from the Alabama chief justice are absolutely terrifying . They'd have us back in the stone age.
Oh I hope that all the hardliners vote to expel him from the Speakership. PLEASE MTG, do your thing; it’ll be great for your party.
We as the American people of the house need to clean the house
Vote blue 💙💙💙💙
Totally 💯💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
@@phampton16tribal. Sad.
Great job, Republicans! Keep up the terrific work!
Thank you Ari Melber for putting the facts together and showing us what the truth really is.
