Hey Stephen A, why don’t you inquire about the congressional slush fund that the taxpayers are paying for for Congress representatives to pay off their victims of their sexual escapades?
@ - NO! Let’s add to the conversation obvious deflections from issues that have been covered up. I remember when former Congressman Madison Cawthorn had exposed how freaky many politicians are, the types of parties they have, and Kevin McCarthy put the smack down on him and not soon afterwards Madison lost his next bid for reelection. And then I think a year or so later, news comes out of homosexual behavior happening with a senator and a staff member in one of the people’s buildings! The media did not stay on the story to demand transparency and justice. And it seems, neither did the people. So yes, it’s amazing how Trump and his selections face real or imagined challenges, mostly imagined or overblown, and people don’t think of the common thread; and the Dems or the extreme leftists selections face very little pushback. And after they get in position the truth comes out and the mainstream media is silent. Go figure. Justice is coming! Stay tuned.
But was he the MOST qualified is the question? The radical right wing has shamed and gaslit the left for DEI and AA for years. The radical right says the most qualified person should ALWAYS get the job. So I need the radical right to explain to me how a current TV host is the MOST qualified for this role? His past military experience means nothing; still doesn’t make him the most qualified now does it?
@@bighomie134 yeah this is why as a moderate I could never support Trump. I don’t love Dems but I just can’t be apart of a cult. It’s never about evidence, data, or proof with Maga; all that matters is what your god king Trump says. A better response would have been he’s qualified because A, B, and, C, but just like a typical Maga cultist you went with the “My deity can do no wrong” defense. Your entire movement is a sham and lost cause. Go learn to think for yourself.
Funny how once Gatez was selected to be next attorney general, he said he wanted to audit Congress's insider trading, and where all the money that went to Ukraine was actually going that he gets his "comings up". Things that make you say hmmmmm!
There’s no doubt corruption going on in other sectors of Congress.. it does all need to be rooted out.. but there’s a mile long paper trail of evidence that shows this isn’t the dude for the job.. imho at least..
As someone miles to the left of any Democrat, I disagree with many of Gaetz' positions, but look at his legislative record. He opposed the disastrous war in Ukraine from day one. He has consistently opposed corruption in congress and worked to clean it up. He has opposed censorship efforts by both sides. He voted against funding Israel's war. This, I would speculate, is why he had to be destroyed, certainly not because he paid for prostitutes.
@@pamelafranklin3452 Hegseth is guilty and the maga state of California covered it up just like the maga Biden administration refused to prosecute gaetz!
After reading the report and seeing all the evidence, I asked the same thing.. and apparently, to be charged federally (i.e. by the DOJ), he would have had to traveled across state lines with the minor or she would have had to travel to him from another state, otherwise it’s a state issue.. and the only reason he can’t be charged in Florida for statutory r@pe is because the statute of limitations has expired.. In this case, you can’t take a lack of criminal charges to mean “he didn’t do it!”..

Candace didn't say he was innocent. She said he's being targeted. Entirely too much evidence about his travel and finance is too much smoke for their not to be fire. Two can be true.
Why do you not mention the STATE ISSUED ID she had that said she was of legal age??? That's why there were no charges BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T CHARGE HIM BECAUSE SHE PRESENTED HERSELF AS OF LEGAL AGE WITH A STATE ISSUE ID.

There is a reason why Trump doesn’t want background checks on his nominees. Congress would be amiss to allow such a thing to happen. We must also remember that Elon Musk does not have top security clearances for a reason. So it’s not surprising that they are trying to eliminate background checks. When it’s eliminated for all then Elin has nothing to worry about.
I understand Stephen’s issues in terms of the experience of running such large government operations. But my counter to that is we constantly elect politicians to positions of power where they themselves have no relevant experience. For example, congress is in charge of making legislation for business regulations in spite of the fact that most of the people in congress have zero business acumen whatsoever. Yes, some have degrees, but no actual experience in the complexities of building and operating a business in the private sector at all. Our government has never been about who has the best resume for the job.

Hegeseth, with his alleged continuing alcohol problems, shouldn’t be at the top of a nation security department. The only management experience he has is with non-profit veteran organizations, that horribly mismanaged.

This was the biggest open secret in Congress for years. If I knew about it for years now then they all knew. It's just that there is a civil war going on in the GOP. Nobody talks about it because they all unify under Trump but its definitely still a thing that been going on since 2016.
Honorable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics. She is qualified for her job!!!
Stephen my Brother listen to me, how Pete lives his personal life doesnt have anything to do with his military back ground and his intelligent there is big different between the 2. Again if he slept with married woman that doesn have anything to do with his skill in the military sector i rather got him that someone who may have high moral ground but it will compromise the state like Mayorka....before talking shit look Mayorka then talk
Respect your take but I think a strong military serviceman who understands the human cost of war could pay dividends as DOD chief. Think about all the senseless wars these “professionals” have gotten our country in. His character and service history is also a plus for military recruitment, which has been porous under Biden.
They should release all ethics reports!!
What did we learn from the last election. Nothing in this country matters more than the almighty dollar.

One of his friends testified against him and he is in prison now. They also have cash app and Zelle records and venmo of payments
Because the elite protect their own. It doesn't matter if they're Republicans or Democrats, the rich and powerful do not hold themselves accountable
Gaetz always seemed sleezy to me honestly.
Yea all I need to hear is he paid nearly 100k to women over a few years.....pretty obvious. He's also behaving like a guilty person

Pete is qualified..There are people in Congress with experiences but don’t do shit for the country. And don’t even know how to do their jobs. Some people pick up quick and fast so Pete is qualified
so b/c there are inexperienced people in Congress currently, that somehow makes Pete qualified as well? Or is he qualified b/c your orange overlord said so?
Well said Stephen A, I once said you had no business in politics, you proved me wrong,proud of ya
Donald Trump was a businessman and was on his own TV show before he was president so your argument on the secretary of Defense is pointless.
You average 2 points in basketball but I guess that gives you the ability to comment on the highest level? Lol
Well Sunny did have to read a legal note over this Stephen. It is funny these reports just came out but we never heard about them when they happened. It is all accusations.

Except we did know...
Nah, there’s a lot of hard evidence.. you should read the report.. and the fact that it’s taking so long to come out (as in, beyond the statute of limitations), doesn’t mean what you think it means lol.. that’s not in FAVOR of Gaetz, it actually points more towards corruption and handshakes and quid pro quo’s.. a lot needs to change with this current system.. and that’s with MAGA, GOP, Dems and voters..
What he did was already out there long before the report was released.
@JohnW9012 what he was accused of...big difference. Anyone can accuses anyone of anything. The Biden doj dropped this case and they have more information than this BS. Stop being and NPC and think please
Mr Steven A Merry Xmas and all the bezt for the new year. I disagree with u on pete hegseth bcus the present guy Mr Austin doing all kind of madness and have America unstable with tje rest of the world.
Like the take on this!
Even i don't like matt but I like he vote against Ukraine war isreal free weapons
Steven, you should do your research before you talk
This is the same guy who voted for Kamala talking about qualifications 😂
Do you're saying Gaetz is qualified for GA?
Was Biden qualified to be president?
Look at what his administration is doing.
Kevin McCarthy is getting his revenge.

So he made Matt pay for seg with a minor?? That's diabolical. I would never want Kevin as an enemy if that was the case.
@@mallen462 you're getting the deep state's story.
But thank God that Trump won.
Stephen A. Thank you for being a voice of reason in all this! We need your balanced, and intellectual voice.
ALL THESE MATT GAETZ APOLOGISTS WAT WOULD THEY SAY IF IT WAS THERE 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HE TOOK ACROSS STATE LINES & PLIED HER WITH DRUGS WITH CONGRESSIONAL FUNDS⁉️
If a parent didn't care or notice while she was gone why would they care now?
I would say prove it, to ensure my daughter wasn't trying to drag my name into and illegal extortion scandal...oh wait..
Why is everyone so concerned about his sex life? Look at him!! And I believe he would do good!
A 3 or 4 star general who’s been a politician for decades and never won a war or a battle is in SAS eyes better than an Ivy League graduate who’s been on the frontlines for multiple deployments and run multiple veteran organizations
Hegeseth, with his alleged continuing alcohol problems, shouldn’t be at the top of a nation security department. The only management experience he has is with non-profit veteran organizations, that horribly mismanaged. Hegeseth was forced out of two leadership roles at veteran-focused non-profits amid allegations of financial mismanagement, drunkenness and sexist behavior. OUR BRAVE AMERICANS SERVICE MEMBERS DESERVE BETTER!!! VOTE NO AND DON'T CONFIRM HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE DOD, HE IS UNQUALIFIED AND A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. SO IS PATAL AND GABBARD!
So, someone says something and that is enough for you...wow. dems are more authoritarian and fascist than I originally thought
So Trump knew this and was still going to appoint him...what a truly sick man and party.

Yet again another hypocrite that dont see how their side wants to segs change kids but calls someone else sick
you knew Covid has origins, fentanyl didn't come from USA, Jan6th over 44k of unused footage,, from party sides of slavery your ignorance shines bright!
Ofc he knew. Only reason Gaetz withdrew was because even Republican senators said they weren't gonna confirm him. Trump dgaf about competency and qualifications.
@@Ben2bwild💯👏
Trump realy knows how to choose them huh. This guy and the other guy

Honestly what's the difference between him and the crimes diddy is accused of seriously not 1 person with a voice is calling the courts out same crimes as diddy sad
Hat about now? Whos running things now? We got some way worse in office now. So my man With all your criticism it's still 100 x better we got now... so what you on?
We do have someone bad in Office NOW I 💯 agree
Their qualifications are total loyalty.
Aoc was a bartender! Look who thinks hes a gate keeper!
Congress is supposed to representation of the people. A bartender doesn’t disqualify you. However being a criminal and drug addicted should disqualify you from being A.G. This is apples to oranges
Being a bartender is having a job. What do you do for work?
Steven, That Girl was sold a ID that showed 18. ( but she was 17) "They" set-up Matt.......!
As someone miles to the left of any Democrat, I disagree with many of Gaetz' positions, but look at his legislative record. He opposed the disastrous war in Ukraine from day one. He has consistently opposed corruption in congress and worked to clean it up. He has opposed censorship efforts by both sides. He voted against funding Israel's war. This, I would speculate, is why he had to be destroyed, certainly not because he paid for prostitutes.
Ms Pokey, it doesn't matter if she had a fake id or not
What….????
This comment makes zero sense.
This a lie. That 17 yr old was never sold a fake ID. She told the DOJ that she never told Matt Gaetz her age and he NEVER asked for her age.
Well said.
Stephen A Smith is real, I think he can be the president of the 🇺🇸
Why would Trump consider Gaetz? REally, Stepehn? Because they have many things in common!!!
I am with Gaetz all the way
Rumsfeld was qualified. We all know how that turned out.
These people nominated for these positions are not qualified for the jobs they are nominated for with one exception, Rubio. But again, qualifications and all those traits we once valued went out the door back in 2016.
The level of arrogance in government is mind boggling, America you got the government you voted for.
Agreed, thank goodness sanity voted in a better one for 2025
He don't want anyone that knows what they're doing.He wants somebody who's gonna do what he say
Real talk SAS.
Why is the DOJ not filing a case against him?
They did investigate for 3 years...Nada on charges
Merry christmas mr smith
That suit is so fly Steven A. #dapper
The people voted for exactly what Trump is doing....
EXACTLY, That is what worries me....
Hit and miss but youre getting better
Steven and Bill Maher seem to be the few folks who don’t tote a partisan line. We need more nuanced discussions such as this.

Wrong. Steven A is clearly more right leaning than he is left. He rarely criticizes Trump or the right.
America is a right wing nation compared to the rest of the world wtf are you talking about the only lefty yall have is Bernie
Im not sure about bill but I agree with you on SAS
But a man in a dress who doesnt know what a woman is ok to head the military 😂😂 really this why steven A should stay on the democrats side too wishy washy on where he stands
wishy washy meaning he doesn't fall right in line with everything your orange overlord says or what? You do know it's ok to disagree with trump, right? You are allowed to form your own opinion, even if that means not obeying trumps every command.
You make sense 👌🏽

Yeah Gaetz friend set him up smh
Matt was used to see who the rhinos were...and it worked. He was never going to be
😂 Yeah, sure! Did you see you trump hired for lawyers? 😂 then needed the judges and his buddies and congress to bail him out. He almost only hires the worst person for every job. Linda McMahon? Seriously 😂
And This is Trump's original pick for AG, let that Sink In, Birds of a Feather...
Matt Gaetz "being the adult in the room" is what got him here.
The entire cabinet is a unethical
I love your thought process
Like the fireplace
Relax, General Milly, or the current are not any better.😮
That type of behavior is ok to the MAGA conservatives. Just saying
Stephen A should stick to sports, stay out of politics because he doesn’t know half of what he is talking about, he is everywhere and don’t know what he is talking about.
GOP-led panel :D:D yeah, by people like Liz Cheney or Kevin McCarthy :D I think I'll pass on THOSE opinions

If it wasn’t true he would sue for damages and win.
This was the biggest open secret in Congress for years. If I knew about it for years now then they all knew. It's just that there is a civil war going on in the GOP. Nobody talks about it because they all unify under Trump but its definitely still a thing that been going on since 2016.
Stick to your sports please!
Honorable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics. She is qualified for her job!!!
You’re sounding like a Trojan horse, Stephen A.
Stephen my Brother listen to me, how Pete lives his personal life doesnt have anything to do with his military back ground and his intelligent there is big different between the 2. Again if he slept with married woman that doesn have anything to do with his skill in the military sector i rather got him that someone who may have high moral ground but it will compromise the state like Mayorka....before talking shit look Mayorka then talk
Respect your take but I think a strong military serviceman who understands the human cost of war could pay dividends as DOD chief. Think about all the senseless wars these “professionals” have gotten our country in. His character and service history is also a plus for military recruitment, which has been porous under Biden.
