McCarthy told Gaetz to "bring it on!". Then Gaetz did!
He brought it hard!
😂 matt aint playing no games!! But i fear theres to many rhinos to get him in there
“There is nothing selfish about wanting a Speaker that tells the truth.” - Rep Matt Gaetz
He has balls of steel.
"Boo all you want" they are groveling sniffling weasels. They're owners l, donors, and specials interests have told them to vote for Mccarthy amd so they have.
Best line of the day, "If this House of Representatives has exceeded all expectations, then we definitely need higher expectations" Matt Gaetz
😂 they make it so easy to rebutted them. You can tell they live in echo chambers surrounded by donor, lobbyists, and special interests.
Gaetz is a savage 😂
Sorry, McCarthy,needed to close the border the day he took office. Now Gaetz has to close the border NOW.
Loyalty? When is DC gonna show some loyalty to the American people?
Some of them are trying. People just want to only vote party. All you have to do is look what side is killing the American economy then blame someone else. Millions are struggling yet they keep spending. Only one side is exploiting the middle class. If we keep letting it go there will be no middle class. Just rich and poor.
Amen!
yes i agree thank you@@kellyhoward5893
They are too busy greasing their own palms.
Never!!
Matt is right.....These warmongers make me sick..
Matt Gaetz said the other day that McCarthy cut a side deal with Biden on Ukraine funding; that has not been made public. Gaetz challenged McCarthy to go public with the Ukraine side deal, but McCarthy went silent.
MOST OF THESE CONGRESSMEN ... IF NOT ALL SHOULD BE IN PRISON...
Most
I'm with the freedom caucus........bye bye traitor McCarthy
Why is McCarthy wearing a Ukraine Button on his jacket, and not an American Flag Pin??? Look real close people!!!!😢😢
That’s how he gets paid. From laundering money through Ukraine.
I've seen a lot of them doing that.. and no American flag..that should be grounds for immediate arrest.. putting another country before your own..that's like putting a foreign countries flag above the US flag on the flag pole. Those are acts of treason.
Nice catch......no more money for Ukraine.....our border needs to be closed and single line laws and budget votes
Gaetz is right 100% and over due. It is time to take the growing debt seriously before the wheels fall off the wagon. He and his group are the only ones talking sense.
He may be the only one up there that should still have a job!
This whole government is a dam disgrace 😢
KEVINS GONE BABY! BYE BYE!
No more money for Ukraine, fix our failing country first.
Im with you. Not one damn cent to Ukraine. Also send the people crossing the border back and spend that money on the veterans and homeless
Biden's Crime Family is still involved with Ukraine. Biden doesn't want the war to end cuz Biden is laundering millions from the Billions being sent to Ukraine. KEVIN is helping this sending more money to Ukraine
The bill contained MORE MORE MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE !!!!!
NOT OUR WAR 😡
Americans FIRST!
@@jcdawson2100% agree 👍🏼
Exactly right 👍
I appreciate you guys finally stepping up and trying to do what we sent you there to do. It unfortunate that this is happening but some people still haven’t learned and I hope we can still save this country.
I love Jim Jordan but right now I'm rethinking.
Please people start voting these Rino’s Out !!!
In Alaska they pulled RANK CHOICE VOTING and that is how Murkowski got in again. Beware Americans! Rank Choice Voting is a scam! One Vote for one person with proof of citizenship!
Smh. If 96% of the house are Rhinos then that *IS* the party. Also check out Trump’s record during 4yrs. He is just a loud mouth RHINO who has a good con game. I’m not even trying to be nasty, it is just honestly true. But most people only get info from people that are purposely lying to them.
Matt Gaetz is the RINO, 100% of Democrats voted with him
Two things are clear:
1. Matt Gaetz is taking on the entire Republican political establishment by himself, and crushing it.
2. Matt Gaetz is talking to the American people, while everyone else is talking to House representatives.
Very true, one man with principles against hundreds who are compromised/untrustworthy
Stefanik went off the rails,so long.
@@tracymarquez6875 Gaetz? Principles? If you call betrayal something you admire, best be examining where you're getting your information. Gaetz is a traitor.
good take
We the PPL support all that Matt Gaetz is doing for Americans! .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved when he said we need a speaker who doesn’t want to job, but will do the job for the country and rise to the occasion
Larry Elder!!!😊
Kevin McCarthy didn't do what he promised and as a result he's Fired!
Good! I commend the Republican House on their Vote! No more of my tax $$$ to Ukraine and close the border!
Amen!
AMEN SamuraiSauce
No Politician can promise and or make every thing happen that they say they can. So many praised McCarthy for all his decisions.
This is definitely drama.
McCarthy is a yes man, to the wrong party, on the wrong issues.
Agreed
I was taught when I was a teenager by my Father to NEVER vote for a Democrat! Now as I am older I have come to Obie he was absolutely right!
And what did you learn? The last administration made money, and not for the country
Surprised by Jim Jordan’s remarks
I never knew we had so many democrats holding republican office
Infiltration of Democrats into The Republican Party .
Yeah. How about that? Sucks doesn't it?
The GOP had 4 years to close the border and they didn't do it. Allow me to expose the ignorance. The Legislative Branch is congress and their job in Article I Section 8 in Clause 2 in the constitution: is to borrow Money on the credit of the United States; not by private citizens. Clause 5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; that is not the job of a Federal Reserve board. The Federal Reserve board and bank is illegal. The currency does not belong to the government and through taxes the FED charges us interest of 2.4% in our treasury to print money which causes the rise of the nation debt.
The GOP falsely accuses the Democrats of this current inflation. Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut package Republicans pushed through Congress, which he said would super-charge the economy, but the tax cuts also fueled record deficits and they claimed it would pay for itself in 10 years. That piece of personal tax cut money that the 99% received will end starting in 2026 and the 99% has to pay that back every year for the next 10 years.
COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the global Supply Chain System causing worldwide inflation and we’re doing much better than every other country. With nearly 30 per cent of the world’s goods manufactured in China and as I speak China is having problems to get folks back to work because of covid. The tax reform and cut also helped the millionaires and billionaires to get their money back from tax haven countries state side without being taxed.
Trump gave away another $2.4 trillion to bankers and then they went and bought their own stocks to a total of $436.6 billion and nothing has filtered down to the middle class, so the billionaires are sitting on their money. So now we have ships creeping in with fewer goods with "a great supply of dollars” and those dollars of the 99% cannot compete against billionaires that purposely inflates cost to recoup from loses during Covid. The Bankers accuse energy as a cause of inflation yet only among themselves, but they don’t tell you they own stock in oil to maintain that profit margin.
Florida and Texas governors are breaking “8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens.” Ted Cruz objected to certify Joe Biden’s election as the next president along with 10 other GOP senators announced they would still object unless Congress agreed to an “emergency audit” of the presidential election results. Breaking "18 U.S. Code § 1505" - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees (treason, breach of the peace)
Truth....
Well don't feel bad you have SEVERAL DEMS that already switched parties and MANCHIN AND SINEMA are on the way over as well
Now NEVER nominate a RINO again for speaker!
And PRIMARY the REST .
Mr. Gaetz certainly has a pair on him. I love it!
They just don't get it. Keep fighting Matt, we love you.
Too many phonies in the republican party
Vote Trump he knows who they all are and will eliminate them
We need MAJOR, MAJOR cuts in spending, but no one wants to be the one to stop the printing presses.
Get your act together, politicians!!! Get to work, less talk, more action! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Gaetz is a breath of fresh air
The people are fed up with the BS. Both parties are in big trouble.
Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and when they get elected, they prove it.
For different reasons
Go ahead censor me….demonstrate your conviction for free speech.
In trouble? Nothing will happen. Nothing ever happens. Democrats get away with murder and never have to face any consequences.
@@longsilver1 lol wat?
Mr McCarthy, you had your chance, and we found you wanting
Mr. Gaetz, thank you for standing firm and pressing on single-subject bills.
Man, Gaetz has King Kong balls to take on that entire room.
He can count and knows how close the ponzi house of cards is to falling.
End the fed bring back gold standard increes wages to grow the gap between debt to gdp. Keep banking desintralized!
Stop kicking the can!! Gotta nuke the 20 year omnibus spending spree !
Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and when they get elected, they prove it.
Wow. I knew Gaetz is good, but didn't expect him to crush all of those Rinos on one stage. Very very impressive performance.
McCarthy was a real joke.
Well played, Matt.
It seems to me that only those 6 brave individuals are the ones working for our people and the country. They’re swimming against the current. The rest are all for themselves, sadly.
The American people can see the Rhino's. Thank you Matt Gaetz.
Judith, you must be a political savant. What is the "h" in rhino for?
@@isitrachelorj3953nitpicking much??
Thank you Matt Gaetz on behalf of the Democrates long may you continue.
Trump has literally destroyed whatever decency the Republican party had left to party over.
Smh. If 96% of the house are Rhinos then that *IS* the party. Also check out Trump’s record during 4yrs. He is just a loud mouth RHINO who has a good con game. I’m not even trying to be nasty, it is just honestly true. But most people only get info from people that are purposely lying to them.m
Single subject bills should be required. Crazy to lump all kinds of excess spending in one omnibus.
Common sense budget as Americans must do.
What are you doing having sense and thinking for yourself ?! Have you NO 🐑 in you ?!
@@Baseballisbest67 😆🤣😆🤣
Absolutely!
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT..
You're correct. How does Geatz plan on getting the Dem controlled Senate or the Dem president to sign? After the shutdown results in losing the house, will the Democrats issue individual budgets?
I stand firmly with Gaetz on this one. Stop kicking the can down the road and do your job.
Chaos Needs to Stop ~ Budget Financial Control! Thank You Senator Matt! Transparency brings Accountability! 🙏🇺🇸🙏
Let's drain the swamp, starting with McCarthy
Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and when they get elected, they prove it.
Better yet, start with Biden
Anyone defending McCarthy should be fired immediately!!!
The problem is Trump did absolutely nothing to drain the swamp. It was just a chant to him, he basically admitted that in an off-the-cuff comment. I’m fact, Trump’s family swam in the swamp just like Hillary Clinton and more.
Its sad how many Republicans Accuse Matt G of causing drama because he wants to start following procedures and save money for the American people.
Correct!
What's his plan to get Democrats to sign on?
It’s an easy cop out for them so they don’t have to answer for the facts
@@brucerex151No more omnibus bills should appeal to all in congress. The question you might ask is:
“Why wouldn’t congress want to get rid of omnibus bills?”
@@C.is.for.Classified "Should", Yes. But if that was the case. We'd be there already.
Great job Matt Gaetz
I'm with Matt!!!! Drain the swamp means start at the top! Single line item bill's is a MUST! Dem's throw to much BS in there, then damn the other side saying Republicans are holding up money for the good part in the Bill! McCarthy is weak and he has shown it time and time again!
We need to hold these politicians accountable. Even our side. Thank God for Matt Gaetz!
Same Matt Goetz that has never been accountable getting his DUI passed over because of his dad or his UNDERAGE CALL GIRLS he likes to enjoy. Now I do appreciate that GAETZ doesn't take PAC MONEY I respect that but he is hypocritical talking about accountability
Wildly even a standing army. Our fed gov is too expensive.
It would be cool if it was genuine. His timing for making these points seem to come when things that will hurt Americans are on the table. I dont like MCCarthy but why push this situation when keeping the government running should be first? Why do this when the gov. only has 45 days to keep things running? Why bring up the single issue bills now when theyve had years of having the majority in the house? Its hard to take this man seriously. Hes just a good debator.
Gaetz is a populist. He's just saying things you wanna hear.
@thatoneguy3284 we have to stop being scared or they will continue load these bills with bs pork. Stop funding a proxy war.
Its time the republicans grew a spine and actually represented the people who voted for them
many are ok...we have to vote blue and weed out the magots
Indeed!
Been saying this for years. Was praying that Kevin grew a spine...
@@mikefarrell3052you mean Americans? You want to weed out 75million plus you just want to gas them like you guys did the Jews or how do you want to get rid of millions of US?????
The problem is that like 2/3rds of the Republican Party thinks "we can't do stuff, we have to pretend to try to stop the democrats and then eventually give them everything they want, or else we look mean".
Instead of what they should be doing. Passing legislation to dismantle Federal agencies and stripping the Federal Government of powers that should have always been the purview of the states.
They should start with the FBI, the ATF, and repealing the NFA as it was never legal in the first place.
Get rid of Kevin McCarthy traitor
This is exactly why Americans will be the one to pay the ultimate price! Because our one little bit of hope( Republicans) can’t even agree to help protect us, so we must do it our self. SO SAD! Don’t know exactly who to believe and if there’s ulterior motives.
Peace. My Dad told me WWII was hell on earth.
America Citizens didn’t fear being nuked in 🇺🇸, in WWII. 😢
Hell Yeah!!!!! Gaetz for President!
Matt Gaetz is a Rock Star!
Gaetz is working with the Dems, just like McCarthy. Both are dirt bags, just happens that Gaetz has more Dem/Marxist friends than McCarthy
I agree...as a "rock star" he is more interested in being obnoxious, making alot of noise, and not actually doing any serious work. Oh yeak, and f#@k!ng all the young groupies...
@@roadtrip6428 well, at least we know who to blame for all the rinos
Mstt Gaetz... he's a Florida boy! Damn proud of him!
Just shut down Congress's pay and see how quick the results are
Amen, shut the government down and cut their credit cards up
To McCarthy fighting, he needs to fight for US!!! Not you or himself , he works for us!!! Get him out!!!!!!
Every dollar I make when I spend 1 dollar 50% is in tax. I get to spend. 50 cents on a dollar.. That's BULLSHIT
Especially when your spending portion is only .27 cents. Tootles.
I only watched 50 minutes of this, but I didn't hear a single representative address the only thing Gaetz was talking about: Continuing Resolutions.
I’m surprised that Steve Scalise and Elise Stefanik voted to keep McCarthy
He showed he is just a backroom dealing CROOK
Every RINO applauding needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY.
And we know who they are now
I’m sure they are shaking
All bar 6 removed good plan
Why are they RINOs?
@@thatoneguy3284 if I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand!
I’m confused all the stuff they say he has done doesn’t seem to be helping me pay bills or feel safe so what did he do?
Wow that guy from Florida is the only guy that sounds like he is fighting for the American people
Why couldn’t they get rid of Pelosi this fast??
Because there was no way the Republicans could convince Democrats to break ranks and oust one of the most effective Speakers in recent memory?
Because democrats are untied and won't do that
@@mst3kharris Effective speaker? She could barely keep her dentures in place and was always drunk while speaking, they are just all part of the swamp, that's why she was never removed!!
Because democrats tend to operate using a hivemind.... they generally dont have any independent thought processes...
because pelosi changed the rules. one of gaetz concessions for his speaker vote was that rule go back to as it was.
These Rhinos simply must be voted out!
“Strongest border security of my lifetime” that guy must be 1 day old
Even if it’s only one, we the people are glad to see a politician suffer for their lies!!!! Praise God! Hallelujah!
We now know who is bought and paid for
Never thought this possible. Well done Matt
Very well done!!!!!
Well done Matt the Democrates love you
Homeboy said strong border policies with a straight face 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a total mess filled with anger, descent, distrust, confusion, clearly these folks not focus! No way can we have these folks managing the American people business!! God forbid!!
They should get rid of many more people in Congress because they're not doing anything to make things better
I’ve not understood for YEARS why we have so many congresspeople. Do we seriously need nearly FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE that claim to “represent” us, yet DON’T EVEN SHOW UP FOR 99% of the hearings. Yet they vote THEMSELVES raises every single year, while Americans are suffering. ALL of OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE BEING SENT TO UKR and paid out to illegal border crossers to the tune of $2,200 a month? That’s waaaay more than social security gives to us out of our OWN MONEY. You shut down the government, you can stop paying CONGRESS FIRST, private security, Hunter biden’s living costs in our Whitehouse, his chauffeur rides to court, all outside US FUNDING. WE THE PEOPLE GET PAID FIRST! And we need to pass a bill where WE THE PEOPLE VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT CONGRESS, or any other of these life term useless people in our bloated beyond recognition “government” get a raise or not. BTW, they DON’T “govern” us. We need to fire 80% of these useless fixtures, and get our money back.
What's going on with Jim Jordan? I'm shocked that he stood for the speaker😳
Yea jim j has me confused..i thought he would atleast back gates some but he did not
And I'm just sitting here waiting for them to stop daylight savings time
Mr. Cole has far too many “very good friends” in Congress for my liking.
Mr. Gaetz, you’re a rockstar! Hold The House Accountable.
Any Speaker who has any kind of support from any Dems is normally a red flag.
What a hot mess we have in Congress. 😢
They democrates are not supporting Speaker McCarthy. They all voted to oust McCarthy. They would vote to oust any republican speaker, even Gatz. Anything or anyone that will cause chaos within the republican party, of course, the left will vote for.
I am assuming you were claiming the density were supporting McCarrhy?
The problem is the devisive behavior between the 2 parties. Everyone is quarreling so much, another country could come & invade us.
Support from the Dems? Matt Gaetz and EVERY Democrat, voted to oust him. Stop living on planet MAGA.
Whenever one of them says this is the best border security of their lifetime, I think, where in the hell do they get off lying to our faces? They absolutely must think that think we are so damn dumb!
Bro go walk around WalMart for an hour. That’s how. Nothing against WalMart shoppers, I love Wally World, but I’m just saying…
I watched 3 different lives today from both sides wide open both sides continues to aid and abbed
They are liars, that's all they do is lie.
@@user-rr1py7nc6xoh you are so telling the truth. I live in west Texas and all you see is illegals. Walmart caters to them 100%. I haven't heard any American or English music playing in the store in forever. I feel like I'm not even in America anymore.
As I understand it, they passed the most comprehensive border security renovation, etc. etc. that the Senate did not take up either vote, or voted it down. Remember they are controlled by the Democrats. So they weren't lying, I found that confusing as well, until I finally figured out what they were trying to say.
We are seeing who is who and it's a little shocking but makes sense.
Yeah Scalise it was such an emergency that after the vote The installed speaker McCarthys buddy McHenry sent everyone home till Tuesday. That doesn’t sound like an emergency to me. McCarthy sent everyone home for eight weeks, doesn’t sound like much of an emergency to me.🤔🤔
Thank you Matt Gaet now one Rhino at a time we can know and boot them out as well..
Thank you Gaetz.
33 Trillion National Debt is Absolutely Unexceptable! There’s too many empty seats, for most hearings & meetings. If the Government wishes to Stay Home, wouldn’t it be Wise to Go for a Government 30:22 30:24 Shut Down! We need Transparency = Accountability! Isn’t it For The People?! 🇺🇸
I'm sorry, but these egomaniacs not only defending McCarty, but also patting themselves on the back for the nothing they have accomplished in years? Absolutely disgraceful.
Cut fifty percent of all politicians pay and cut all publicly paid for protection.
That won't work. They'll get much more on the side
@@gdiwolverinemale4th I agreed. How else to explain AOC net worth as of today well over $1m plus...
Nope.
We do what President Ezra Taft Benson said: CUT THE WHOLE BUREAUCRACY 100%, but do so as a PLANNED AND DEADLINED phase out.
NEVER to be reinstated again!
We will be a Republic, NOT a blasted bureaucracy!
Amen and see how they change!!!???!!!.
.................... He sold out AMERICANS AS ANY ESTABLISHED POLITICIAN DO!
Example Rick Scott is worth over $200 million. Average Senator makes $174.000 yearly. That potential pay cut is chump change for many as they come into office having a secured nest egg in place beforehand. Look up the how much Mitch McConnel, Pelosi, etc are worth. Hell Rick Scott and a few others donate parts of their salaries to charity.
They were NEVER meant to waste our money or support residents of other Countries!!
And they lie to our faces knowing that we know they're lying.
The Speaker isn't supposed to pass a bill. The Speaker is supposed to pass a bill that has contents that benefit the American people. Not just passing a bill to say a bill has been passed.
this has really exposed the RINOs
Which apparently consists of about 90% of the Republican party judging by the votes to keep McCarthy@@brucesmith1544
When Democrats load it with aid to everyone but Americans ,,they know it'll cause problems for the opposition political party or for today's Democrats the mortal enemy in this case
No kevin McCarthy sell out
Matt Gaetz is one of a very few who are in touch with how the American people feel. Thankful for him.
%100
Gaetz is such an obvious huckster I'm astounded so many thumbs up for a traitor.
@donaldcarlin6385 he fights harder for democrats to keep their job that's for sure. I wouldn't trust him with teenage girls or my vote
I really didn’t know there were so many child rapist in America that go around showing everybody pictures of their crimes
You can see the difference between Gaetz and Cole by how Cole is always saying stuff like “my good friend” and “fellow rules committee member”.c
This guy is really good at speaking.
33 Trillion in debt? It's too little too late. This should have happened 20 years ago.
Where was all Matt Gaetz' budgetary concerns when Trump added more than $7 trillion to the national debt? Gaetz is a sorry lying hypocrite.
It is only going to get worse unless you put a stop to it.
3 out of 4 presidents with the biggest budget deficit were republican
Anyone wonder why Trump did the opposite that he promised on spreading? He did the exact opposite!
Thank you Mr Gaetz now we the american people can definitively know who the establishment RINOS are.
💥 💥 💥 💥
Matt you fail the people of America
GOP. Trump increased deficit by cutting taxes for the rich. Gop only cares about deficit only when programs that involves the poor is concerned. When it involves giving money to the rich, they don't care
We get TRUMP They get TERM LIMITS. Swamp drain . Our children are not for sale.
How you going feel if the democrats are back in leadership because of Matt gates throwing a tantrums grow gates"! Because this will put democrats in power again don't believe me check it""!
I was quite surprised by Jordan's defending him. But we need to get rid of barkers, we need doers.
The next Speaker must be under the exact same threat of a vote to vacate. Thank you Representative Gaetz for securing the above against McCarthey and thank you for following thru. Let's go to the back benches for our next Speaker.
Kevin has had all year to present those spending bills, he obviously cannot lead!
This is what needs to happen to much more people in office ....this is good start!!
Mr Cole needs to be voted out by his members in Oklahoma.
Go MATT!!!
God Bless You Matt! 🙏
