- A potential breakthrough is in the works on Capitol Hill for US aid to Ukraine and Israel, and it could involve some rare bipartisan cooperation in the House.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the House will vote Saturday on separate bills to provide funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Indo-Pacific.

Where’s the bill to secure OUR BORDERS????
You mean the one that the Republicans said no to at the behest of their cult leader so that he would have issues to run on?
The Republicans shut it down so they would have something to run on . Vote blue
That bill passed and sponsored by a bi partisan Senate was recently held from a vote by Johnson because Trump wanted it for a political issue versus what's best for our country. The most conservative border bill in decades was ditched by the very people who've been screaming for it. Very sad.
@@ronbrown2542that was lipstick on a pig,it wouldn’t solve anything
We don't need a bill for this we need a leader Donald trump he a business man he can fix all of the. Passing bills problem because he a business man
My fellow Americans: We to set our house in order in America, I'm sick of this dysfunctional circus that's holding the greatest Country in the world hostage...! (We need to clean house in America!)
They got him on something they always pretend to go back to the Lord forgive me Father for when I'm not what I did yep and here it goes corrupted clean the swamp when I speak about a swamp it's not about turtles and frogs and this and that it's been talking about the humans that destroy the swamps clean the swamp with this corruption of these politicians making money for who Bank of America it's going everywhere else how do you lose so much money and you can't figure out where it went Donald Trump 24
Taxation without representation
Bad part is most people that read that wont even know what it means and just how true it is.
Unless you are not a citizen, under 18, or a felon in many states, then you have a representative. Feel free to call them.
Time for change
@@6thface You're making the assumption that they give a care. The problem with a republic is that a power only has to compromise the representative. If you vote for another representative, they just need to compromise them.
@@romanmedina1765 A representative republic is far superior to a pure democracy.
With a pure democracy, you would be subject to the whims of 'To Long, Didn't Read' idiots and a zealous mob that exercises the tyranny rule via numerical superiority.
Low population areas would have no say in government decisions/actions.
Its like Johnson is doing a 180, he was against it and now this. Why the sudden change of heart? Didn't see this coming.
It's awesome. Long over do.
Russia is actually about to break the last lines and the summer offensive is gonna start
Tldr, Ukraine is almost done unless America puts life support back
@@PatagoniaAriesya ya sure not amount of money can bring back 600,000+ on the Ukrainian side you need man power,artillery, and Russia has all that they produce 12million shells a year meanwhile us barely produces 2.3 million shells of 155mm.
either he is being blackmailed (like others) or he is being bribed.
@@PatagoniaAries In 2025, 120 billion dollars should be allocated to Ukraine.
As Eisenhower warned in 1961, “we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” Well, the “potential” has been realized.
Eisenhower was an attack dog for the federal government, he would've turned on the people if he was ordered to, just like when he attacked and arrested hungry WW1 veterans protesting at D.C for the pay they were owed.
Why are WE borrowing money to GIVE AWAY?
We are not giving it away. It is lend lease.
So our children's children's children can be paying for the military industrial complex's financial gain in perpituity. It is so important since the congress people own so many shares in the MIC!
😂 borrowing?
@@ethanweeter2732to a country that won’t exist soon enough due to all the previous “help” you gave them 😂
@@elloowu6293 Yes, all this money is borrowed from China (mostly) because there is no money in the treasury. The US is $35T in debt and the interest accrues at the rate of $1T about every 95 days.
With speed, speaker Johnson helps other countries. Why here in America, suffer.
It's a laundering operation they send money to other countries which in turn with companies and other back alley deals sends money back to the people that send the money to them it's laundering the money for the congressman and senators that approve of the foreign aid and you ever wonder why the people that are in Congress and Senate are multi-millionaires
Exposed 😮
Because they can campaign on the border.
Suffering from a booming economy relative to the rest of the world and manufacturing subsides
Playing the long game. This is not a mistake.
This is an OUTRAGE!
Watch Johnsons interviews before he became speaker... he is a stab you when you're not looking politician. Time to Vote Out those who Do Not Represent Us!
the Freedom Caucus are worse than Johnson
The heading of this video should be: "Johnson buckles because he has no spine"
What’s funnier that, Zionist jews literally brought US politicians and they can pass their agenda. A Zionist Jew is 10000 times more powerful than stupld US christian.
He has no spine to do what if you mind explaining? Over run democracy? He’s being bi partisan there’s nothing more American 🇺🇸
Your from the wrong America buddy fix your mental health it doesn’t matter who’s President when your your biggest enemy ….. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
And people wonder why Trump gets a vote.
He's doing his job perfectly.
1. Protect Israel
2. Help any country that doesn't like Russia
@@atedinahalf6288 why does Israel matter for americans?
Where is AMERICAS AID.
Yes they need to launder more money!
That's exactly what it is. They are lining their pockets and stealing from us, peasants
Campaign season coming up got to provide money for kickbacks.
Where’s the pressing bill/vote to help the American taxpayers. Funny how there isn’t any of those
Imagine if those BILLIONS were used to aid the American people… it almost feels like a foreign concept.
But, then again funding wars is the way of the world.
Those billions don’t even exist. They are living on credit and we are paying for it in the long run.
90% of the money is being used to pay Americans, in America, to make weapons. Stopping Russia now will deter China from attacking us or anyone else in the future.
No, not world, world leaders!! And who has been running the world😅 'Murica
Majority of those billions goes to Americans. Or do you forget who has to manufacture the arms before they get shipped out?
@@insaneclownponies9599we are sending mountains of CASH!!!! We are paying for salaries, retirement benefits, etc for Ukrainians while we have homeless vets.
😂...we need the money here
There’s money for everything. The only problem in the USA is the MAGA with the Orange clown. And the bill helps Americans.
Yet, Republicans voted against spending money on the build back better bill. It would have provided jobs. Inflation is a result of the Republicans support for only the wealthy as middle America crumbles.
I don’t call that cooperation. I called that selling out Mike Johnson.
Do these A-holes even work on Saturday???
It’s the day they know America isn’t paying attention to them stabbing us in the back.
@@ImmaTwoPopsSlow news day, the regular reporters are off.
Only when it benefits them
We have to audit the government and see where this money is going or will it be lost again?
Down with the system
While america is broke this clowns keep spending like there's no tomorrow and inflation keeps rising.
Hey we're only in the hole for 34 trillion
There is, indeed, No Tomorrow.
Inflation has been dropping, faster than most G20 nations, it’s at 3.48% right now, compared to 5% last year
Build back bankruptcy that's the plan the new reset your replacements just came over the border it's planned
@Beenan-uv5mu wrong you don't count housing utilities etc . If you put lip stick on a pig it's still a 🐖
Vote no to foreign aid bill. America Seniors need more money.
No they don't. Most have enough from what they chose to earn and save. They manage their lives accordingly.
A few robust rebellious and cranky eccentrics choose to freeload homelessly instead of accepting invitations to shelters, but most live as they chose and prepared for.
Seems almost everyone in the US always wants more by taking from somebody else rather than earning it.
Gimme. Gimme. Gimme. Get a job.
@@lawrenceralph7481 Firstly the social security trust fund which was paid for by current seniors was broken into to pay for everything else.
Most senior citizens were not complaining 3 years ago, they were doing as you said and just living with their life decisions and circumstances, inflation has changed everything, and the current administration’s figures for the cost of living allowance are as dishonest as anything ever done. We will do our best to evict them in a little over 6 months along with their newly imported future voters.
Vote NO
Vote yes. It will pass.
But we can't afford social security for our seniors, and you can't retire til 70. 😕
No more aid to other countries!
RINO
Trump said to not use the money for the border
@@noahjohnson935 do you remember why the government shut down for over a month while Trump was in office ?
@@EB-du3vh because he was a stubborn fool?
@@noahjohnson935 it was over the border and funding for the border….. Democrats would not vote for it at all…. But now they have the solution…. That’s your story.
@@noahjohnson935 it’s because Democrats did not want to fund the border….. but now they have the solution 😂 that’s literally your story
Why do they spend the money we don't have I guess I just grew up wrong I was taught when you don't have the money just don't spend all your credit
Time for a new speaker of the house.
I think the democrats will protect him for doing the right thing. They should this is huge what speaker johnson is doing.
Two wings of the same bird.
No we don't need a new speaker because that would be very very bad because what's going to happen is you already had a couple of cowards retiring or dropping out of their race that are Republicans if we lose a couple more then the speakership will go to Hakeem Jeffries which is what we don't want going into an election year so although Mike Johnson is not doing what he should be doing I would rather have him than Hakeem Jeffries which if he does take speaker ship they will the first thing they will do is pass something a policy or a law or something that will try to make Donald Trump not be able to be on the ballot I promise you that it will happen if he becomes speaker so although Mike Johnson isn't doing what he's supposed to be doing the Republicans need to get together and say this is what you're going to do to Mike Johnson you're going to vote of this way or vote that way when Donald Trump gets elected we will not be reelecting you as speaker of the House but as of right now we cannot afford to lose the speaker ship to the left cuz I'm a freaking liberal progressive that will destroy everything like I said although Mike Johnson is a rhino at least he's not going to allow something to pass that will try to take Donald Trump off the ballot unconstitutionally we do not need to be doing this right now
Bro they all the same.
I think we need a new speaker 🔈 for this country tomorrow.This man gives someone hard time.Just let him go
People can hardly manage their butter and breads here and you are giving away billions of dollar to the country 10 thousand miles away.
No more $ to Ukraine. Where has all this money they got gone.
Where did this money go? Most of that money went back into the US to buy the weapons, pay salaries for the arms manufacturers, etc. We are sending old and almost end of life weapons and then using this money to replace it.
Even more important is no more money for Israel. Hold them accountable for once.
@@vsukrBingo - we send them our old toys so we can get new ones. It's amazing how suddenly a bunch of our military projects have accelerated and are now way ahead of their original timeliness. Take the B-21 Raider. Its original timeline had its first flight in 2026 or so. Now that's when it is planned to enter service having completed test flights this past November.
@@vsukrat 10x the cost. Why are we paying to fund the Ukraine govt and their pensions when people here can't afford to live.
Into the hands of defense contractors and lobbyists. Gotta pay their overlords. We are not a democracy
The only foreign aid I want to see is foreigners finding aid at his house.
No more money for War! Let’s try Standing With America! 🤦🏻♀️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Quick question. Israel is desperately in need of weapons to drop bombs on non-moving targets? I’m not sure how they are desperate for weapons. They aren’t in a conventional full-on war with an enemy with a military that’s draining their resources. If Netanyahu would agree to a ceasefire, allow humanitarian assistance, reduce its offensive snd level of bombing, this “need” would be less. As a taxpayer, we shouldn’t be giving money for weapons to fight a war, unless we are ready to send our own soldiers. If we aren’t willing to do that, then it tells us where we should be with these decisions.
Uniparty
Without a doubt. Why do you think Nikki Haley got all that Republican funding and Democrat support?
Get your act together 😢you are killing people in Ukraine
Are you saying Johnson is a russian plan that supports putin? Because it's the russian army that daily targets Ukrainian cities with glide bombs, iranian drones, and ballistic missiles... that end up with kids dead.
And for the last couple of months with no US aid, the ruskis haven't stopped but actually ramped up their attacks on Ukrainian energy stations, appartment buildings, etc
There is a legend about Davey Crockett killing a bear with a knife.
It is much more believable than Ukraine defeating Russia.
The people who encouraged Ukraine are responsible for killing them. And equally so are their media propagandists.
Put all the money at our border
For what THE USA 🐑 NEED TO HELP UKRAINE AND ISRAEL 🇮🇱 ZIONIST GOVERNMENT 🇮🇱🇺🇲
I wonder just how accurate those movie scenes are where someone lobbies a politician. Either through blackmail or promises
Use that $95 billion to fix America's problems...we got so many. My God I see homeless people in every major city, we need to rebuild our own roads and infrastructure...
That's what they're suppose to do is fund our country and people with the taxes they raise but instead they send it to other countries and wars that have nothing to do with us and then our people can rot on the streets with no dignity and starve.
This is ridiculous
Why don't they beg the UN or the EU for help
No to Ukraine, No to Palestine, No to Israel. Go back to isolationism now. We owe the world nothing
Weird, when I see American cities in ruins I never see any foreign nations lining up to send us financial aid as we sit 30+ trillion dollars in debt. Always a one-way street.
@@derekweiland1857guarantee you China would do it if we would allow them to
Yes, because we robbed the word from their resources. Now we don’t need any thing 😊
@@FriarJoe66 Why would they spend so much money bribing our politicians to strategically lessen America's power (which is what their politicians should be doing), and then turn around and help us? That makes zero sense.
Then you have putin Conquer European countries
All these proposals just prove to me how useless money truly is.
Great their gonna drain our grocery money from us now!
Now? They already are!
Bi-partisan work to help other countries except their own
So sick of our government prioritizing other countries over are own . When are we as tear people of this country going to stand united against this
It's called off shore embezzlement
Nothing stopping you. Go for it champ
@elloowu6293 and here folks is the problem . People like this guy do nothing but add to the problems . Then down others who want to make a change .
@elloowu6293 Do you write you're state representatives? Do you vote for policies over personality? What type of country do you want to leave for you're grand babies? Don't add to the problem make a change . We need to be together or we will be destroyed.
Then you certainly don't want to know what they did with most of our defenses last night. 🫠
About time for them to work together
Stop giving our money away, look within!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not even a Pay For bill, which means they will.print money and make it worthless. I hope they house doesn't pass it.
Do not give them nothing
So you're saying give them something? 😅
No more money for no one. Don't crash my children and grandchildren future. America firust.
Our. Money is own by the Democrats alright 😡 mike Johnson isn't a double crosser okay if he would then he be working with Joe Biden on illegal foreign money Joe Biden family been doing this for years he wants us to suffer and wants the Republican to betray Mike johnson
Our border is unimportant to the Uniparty
Who has ever gone where never mankind has been before? And behold I come quickly as it is written. My Word is good enough as it is written.
This help is very much desired to deal with our adversaries.
Smart to seperate aide into 3 designated bills. We need to have verified reports on expenditures by each country. Our dime, our rules. Missing reports, inaccurate reporting, or lack of verification of expenditures result in removal of funding.
Gallagher thstd a poor excuse you must been offer money if you do I hope it get you down and it will if thsts the reason they going to do it anyway they not doing it to otherd6
Stop GIVING AWAY MY tax dollars!!
Move to Russia if you don't like it.
Stay triggered, your tax dollars aren't going anywhere but American companies
@@joerosa170go fight in Ukraine if you want to help. Why should my tax dollars fund the salaries and pensions of Ukrainians?
Ukraine can't win the war that's a fact. Sending these funds simply funds Ukraine gov to send more people off to be killed.
If you cared at all about the Ukraine people then stop funding thier slaughter. This war and murdering would be over now if the usa wasn't helping it to continue.
I see the communist removed a factual statement.
It’s only pissing away tax money. They’ll just raise taxes later.
But not on the wealthiest Americans. We may as well admit we are no better than Russia who serves the oligarchy.
Destroying your currency
They won’t raise taxes. They will just print more money.
@@helenpatterson3858 wealthy Americans are the only one that pay taxes do a Google research
@@DutchStar yup
Has voters we have to take some responsibility in the corrupt politicians in government ! We need to vote out the corrupt !
Voting is pointless when they can change the results at their leisure, force is the only way
THE USA NEEDS COUP DE TAS ASAP
Don’t pass a thing in congress . Keep the people’s money in their pockets .
The government wants you to pay bills but yet their so far in debt its not funny.
Why are they doing this to us?!
Why
What about our country we Americans need money
If the nations refuse to serve this one Drizzle. All cities fall as it is written. And behold I come quickly as it is written. Let not any nation ever say God never said. With me nothing is impossible as it is written.
As Americans are struggling to get by disappointed
Is this vote before or after the vote for US aid and the tax reduction vote?
Admire both Johnson and McCarthy for moving forward complicated national priorities under heavy fire and personal sacrifice.
Their moderate actions give new meaning to centrist.
Will be interesting to see where support for these bills and for the speaker comes from.
Wouldn't want to vote on a weekday when everyone is in town would we?
And behold I come quickly as it is written.
Fix your house first instead of throwing money in support of war. But good if you help those in need
I wonder if any countries will provide us aid when we need it
Why?
Taxes are voluntary anyway !!!!
I want a new speaker for this country tomorrow
If Johnson is ousted we will most likely get Hakeem Jeffreys!! How will that help?!
@@kimberlyearly8918
I think he should work for the people and solve the problems.No
Rebuff
You already went through 3 of them. 😅😅😅
@@user-jo1oq5bd7w Of course he should but do you honestly think having Hakeem Jeffreys is better?! You think it's bad now, which it is, but it'll only get worse if he's ousted! Rebuff!
Like to see him actually do something for this country.
Give money to others while things like student loan forgiveness or American investment is off the table
ya what about the boarder 😡
This what u get for not liking a man because of mean tweets🤦🏽♂️
Three houses are side by side, one is your house where your family live with you and the other two are your neighbors house. All houses catch fire, which house and family do save first? People, the U.S. is in trouble and we should focusing on saving our house first!!! Wake up Americans!
Only if border closed
The vote is on Saturday 🤣
They need to stop sending so much money all around the world when we have so many problems right here in our own country
When can we vote on thier salaries?
So they can do that but won’t fix the country’s homelessness
Why do we have to continue to support foreign aid. Please list any foreign country that has ever given the US financial aid or any assistance like the US taxpayers have had to give.
How many politicians have stocks And these Defense companies
STOP SENDING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO ANYONE!!!!!!
Must be some great kickbacks .
I spot the stress
A loan that can be forgiven 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we aren’t dumb 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Johnson is a another sellout. boot him
If he is booted we will most likely end up with a Democrat speaker! Not saying he doesn't deserve it but I don't think it's what's best as a whole.
@@kimberlyearly8918what would be the difference between Johnson and a democrat? After all he’s caved on every issue to them. 🤷♀️
I know your upset with him but we cannot have Jeffries for speaker or we won't have fair country just a dictator ship and communist country like North Korea
Guess trump is to because he said he backed maga mike.
@@ImmaTwoPops Believe me, it would be worse to have a Democrat! That people don't see that is mind boggling!
Hard no. We don't want this
They're going to undermine more U.S. economic security Saturday Night like minimum wage workers skimming the till on a busy night.
Why Saturday? Do it in the open TRAITOR!
WE DON'T NEED TO GIVE ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY ANY MORE MONEY.
PERIOD ! NOTHING !
THIS COUNTRY IS BEYOND BROKE
No more foreign aid. Not a cent. Enough.
I want to see it.
And americans didn't want college debt forgiveness for Americans?
ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN AID!!!!
Great news. Seeing to the destruction of a major adversary for about 5% of the US defense budget since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine started is I think an excellent return on investment.
END ALL FOREIGN AID!
NOTHING FOR THE BORDER !!
