McCarthy: Yeah it was actually the Dems fault for the Government almost shutting down, even more of them voted for the stopgap than my members.
McCarthy later: Why didn’t the Democrats save me?
I'm not defending McCarthy or blaming dems for holding his past actions in contempt, merely pointing out that sometimes there's a "poverty of imagination" re how much worse things could get (choosing least of multiple "evils"). In "the before times", ousting an unacceptable political leader would open that position for a better replacement, and ousting McCarthy would be the right thing to do. Alas, I fear that Jordan (or an interim Trump ... w/his trials possibly deferred) will be far more dangerous.
@@rosemariebredahl9519The next GOP Speaker will understand: they need to work with Dems in good faith, or Dems won’t be around to save them, should MAGA pounce again. McCarthy messed the Dems about time and time again. He was so cavalier. Too bad he didn’t understand how slim his majority was.
McCarthy is so weak....he lost his job because he gave away his power
He never was the brightest bulb.
As a non American watching this guy talk, he looks and sounds like a liar to me. Didn't this guy vote to hold Trump accountable for January 6 rather than turnaround and go and seek Trump help for the speaker job. You can't trust anything this guy says.
I must agree. I gave you a like for this. This persons word is about as valuable as a condom with a hole in it.
Of course it has to do with his FTN interview. I was shocked when he blamed the Democrats. Dumb move McCarthy. Had he played it differently he could've played it off as a bipartisan win.
NO, it was because of Republicans
He totally could have. It’s unbelievable.
He may have thought that by blaming the Dems he would appease the maga crowd and maybe change their mind about calling for vacate.
Stupid move!
You do realize the GOP members RIGHT NOW are busy nominating TRUMP to be Kevin's replacement, don't you?
@@joeradler - The Republicans would be foolish to give him the job. But they are the anti-government party so this would be on form.
It definitely played a role in the Dems throwing him under the bus. The guy Said “bring it on” And it was and he was left hung out to dry. It’s put the Democrats in a very strong position.
No he lied on the dems after they saved him.. he wanted them to vote for the bill and yet blame them for it.. my god dude
Dems in a strong position? You do realize the GOP members RIGHT NOW are busy nominating TRUMP to be Kevin's replacement, don't you?
I dunno about strong... Now without a speaker, and with so many potential speakers putting Ukraine funding as a maybe at best, I wouldn't call Biden's or the democrats' position strong.
@@joeradler Right? Every one in congress chooses to be loyal to their stupid little parties. This is a game for so many people, a game they can point to and say 'see! MY TEAM is the winner!'.
By the way, America is in a worse position. Every time democrats and republicans play their little game, America loses. Both of those parties care more about loyalty to them, than the country itself
Talk about bitting the hand that feeds you. The former speaker asks the democrats for help and throws them under the bus.
Well, I gotta be honest. I really didn't like the way McCarthy was trying to talk to Margaret in that interview. There were a few times when he was trying to get tough with her just because she asked some obvious questions.
Agree 100%. The condescending, even when she tries to help him look less of an idiot.

Wen u vote for a clown u get a circus.. 🤣🤣🤣
Bite the hand that could feed you.. and starve.
In sports its team work, He is like a player telling the team that only the right side of the team won even though it was the left side who kept him alive
I'm afraid Republicans is going to put someone in that spot who democrats is going to have a tougher time getting along with.
He’s blaming the democrats now ?😅😅😅
“i’ll survive,” he said
Definition of HUBRIS
I am hard GOP. Not sure how I feel. But I do not like a man whose whole life goal to be speaker getting speaker....I do not think politicians should be lifelong. Why can a president be 8 years MAX but congressman and senators can serve till death. Term limits are needed
The term limit is to not vote 🗳️ for him and elect someone else. Many politicians have faced term limits by not getting re-elected after serving one term in office.
This whole speakership was a MAGA game to fail nominating Trump for house speaker
Another one bites the dust.
😂😂A GOP called out the GOP members : "Stuck on STUPID" 😂😂😂
They are not the party of adults right now.
You do realize the GOP members RIGHT NOW are busy nominating TRUMP to be Kevin's replacement, don't you?
McCarthy today , Oops 😬 !!
He's so little all he had to say was I thank all members who did there duties and kept government open simple.
There were only 2 things i dislike about Mccarthy. His face
Why is there no official plan incase the speaker is removed. In my country we know how to handle such a scenario. Why don't the U.S
Usually the party in the majority actually likes their Speaker, and would never dream of ousting them. 🥴
Most Republicans in Congress did want McCarthy as Speaker based on their votes this week, but some did not for him various reasons.
Oh, boy!
I want to see trump as speaker. That will see the GOP put out of power for a generation, perhaps for ever.
Unifying Party of 🟦Democratic🟦
Problematic Party of 🟥Republican🟥
Leave it to Mags to bring down the Speaker. No one else could have done it. Next up…..she destroys Trump.
There is one thing I have learned about Democrats. They are very disciplined. When their leader says "jump". They say, "how high?".
Not long ago they were pushing a no stock trading law absolutely against the wishes of their leader. Equally true of the Green New Deal. Which gave the party a huge black eye. Also “The Squads” anti Israel stance. But believe what you want.
The same holds true for Kevin McCarthy ...when Trump says "spread em", he says... "how wide?"
Pelosi shafted Kevin so hard when she told him to accept the one person rule to oust him LOL. Pelosi really is a political genius.
He didn't keep his base happy. Reminds me of Liz Cheney's 43 point loss.
was ungrateful, got what he deserved.
urgh can you guys get a separate channel for rehashed content, I just want the full episodes, but you release the fragmented episodes, so I watch them, then the full episode comes out and I skip through it to make sure I haven't missed anything interesting and click off, now this! I've seen both of these interviews HERE! why are you slapping them end to end and calling it something new? this is not how you get the algorithm to reward you
Kev may leave Congress altogether. 😂😂
It is the fact that Matt is a loud guy
Margret in politics your going to anger people, if your not , your not doing your job! Major calm down American people are GODS PEOPLES AND GOD IS ON THE THRONE!
Matt is more interested in doing interviews, says the guy doing a TV interview
ROMNEY WOULD MAKE A GREAT SPEAKER !!
He's not stupid. They would do the same to him. What they really want is TRUMP.
You do realize the GOP members RIGHT NOW are busy nominating TRUMP to be Kevin's replacement, don't you?
These two are giddy for helping oust McCarthy. Will they still be grinning when TRUMP takes Kevin's place as the next SPEAKER of the HOUSE?
If Trump becomes Speaker of the House it will likely be temporary, but the U.S. government is still going to need to be funded by Congress again. Hakeem Jeffries I think is a better option to be leader of the House than anyone Republicans in Congress would come up with.
@@matthewsmith2996 Well, the republicans have majority, if they all agree to back Trump for speaker, poof he will likely be speaker. I think the democrats, Biden especially, could've had a better deal working with moderate republicans like McCarthy, instead of winding up with maga Trump as speaker...
@@matthewsmith2996 based on what, his ability to lie and manipulate you better than McCarthy was able to lie and gaslight you?
@@learnsteelguitarinretirement What makes you think I am maga? Please do elaborate.
Trump will take the title of “Speaker” too literally! Once he takes the floor, he’ll keep speaking . . . and speaking . . . and speaking, until even the Republicans will be pleading for mercy! The Trump family will be at home, hitting “OFF” on the TV remote!
Probably the first analysis of a previous story, that has any real insight, I have watched in some time. Others mostly brag. The cause and effect of it "may have played a role" is pretty convincing. Other dynamics were explained as well. Well done. Oh, wait, it was journalism. I have forgotten what that was; I was born in the 80s. I watched local news and journalism die. I am convinced there is a rebirth happening of free press and unionization that are not unrelated.
what a rat
Why Gop flight each other ? All Gop and decromcy get together make united state stronger country.
....Monk 🪠...🤡
Have a nice day 😂😂
LOL NO ONE is saying this interview was the catalyst. This is the most desperate effort of relevancy I’ve seen
That's what you get for trying to be a moderate. You get rejected by both sides of the aisle.
Unfortunately that just shows yet again how devided the country is right now.
On the contrary, compromise is necessary to get any legislation passed. And compromise is not a dirty word. We're all Americans. And have to work together.
Moderate? He refused to work with dems until the very last second. And then when they do, he insults them.
he made all of those democrats happy yet they still fired him
You can't fire someone that you don't have the power to hire. The only person who can fire someone is the person who gave them the job. Democrats didn't elect McCarthy as the House Speaker.
Republicans are the majority!!! Republicans FIRED him.
Live in reality
Democrats fired him? So he's a Dem, now? Man, you're delusional.
