Damn...Thank you Mr. Mast! This is EXACTLY what pisses off 90%+ of AMERICANS! Just answer the damn questions you are asked without out the freaking fluff and BS!
4n6---I agree totally.
If they respond with all that garbage and fluff, then it eats up the Representative's time allotment, and interferes with his/her ability to ask any further questions (questions that might actually serve to inform the American public about all the crap that they're trying so desperately to hide/avoid).
It's the same as with that B.S. they always say: "Senator/Representative XXXX: I appreciate the opportunity to be here today, and I thank you for that question...."
My A$$; you're gonna waste every second you possibly can, trying to avoid answering ANY questions.
Indeed this dude could be president in near future
I loved when he said I don’t care how honored you are!
Then 90% of Americans better get off their fat sorry asses and vote like their lives depend on it because it does, God damn it.
There is a huge great red wave that Trump produced look at all the great people we have coming up that are going to be great leaders for this country can’t wait for November Biden worst president ever keep up the great work Joey
If only there were more Republicans that would tell the Dems in Congress to, "Close their mouth(s)."
The Republicans have been getting this treatment for a good many years now.
That was awesome. The chairman got all butt hurt too which was a bonus. The Dems are like YOU get a pipeline and You get a pipeline and You get a pipeline….except HERE of-course.
They should abbreviate to STFU to simplify it all!!!
The war is coming
"Shut up" might be better!
The world not just America, needs more people like Mr. Mast!⭐
I agree 👍
Heaven forbid, Neil
We need more congressman like this. He is awesome wow!!!
YES!
Yes
If you refuse to answer a question you should be fined, or fired!
Good work Mr Mast.
@@fruitfulman3115 unfortunately it’s rules for thee and not for me with this clown administration.
You would if you tried it. But they somehow get away with it
What if the question is totally irrelevant to the proceedings and is only asked to create a nice clip for thecongressman's re-election effort?
@@gng228 what if frogs had wings. They wouldn't bump their ass when they jumped. You can what if something to death.
I love this guy!
We need to see a lot more of this Brian Mast. He’s great and doesn’t get enough credit
We NEED 200+ more in Congress with Balls the size of his!
Indeed. We need more representatives that really represent us and our interests.
He wasn’t having it from the chairman. He set him straight.
@@MrJamberee I wish people would do that to the well past his expiry date Jerry Nadler when he’s got the gavel ! He just loves to interrupt whenever he hears something he doesn’t like !! 😡
@@gloriavasquez885 joe biden 2024
We need more fellows like you Mr. Mask. God-bless you!
I know these aren't court hearings but I feel like people that refuse to give a direct answer or a plausible reason they don't have a direct answer they should be held in contempt or something. The fact that they can get away with saying nothing when the answers are clearly in their bills and policies is beyond ridiculous. That's what children do, not leaders.
I wouldn’t have been able to sit down right for a few days if I tried answering my parents like that when I was a kid. Someone should have spanked him when he was younger so Mr. Mast didn’t have to put up with this as an adult.
should be same rules as court witnesses. note there are political mechanisms to keep this in check. ive watched cspan so long, its always like this. if they answer questions in 8 seconds they would end up answering a lot more questions. it wouldnt be effective for their clique.
The court comparison is a good one. In court the judge would ask the congressman to stop making a speech and ask a question. Then when the witness answered the question with an other than yes/no and the Congressman badgered him, the defense attorney would object. The Congressman didn’t really care whether the question was answered or not. It was a loaded question. The defendant loses, however it is answered. The Congressman was successful in making his talking points with the jury/constituents. As DOR says, it’s always like this on cspan. You know what they say about attorneys, never ask a question you don’t know the answer to.
@@profrob9017they don’t answer straight forward. It’s yes sir or no sir. The legalese is fucking stupid. Be a man and answer the questions.
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) is a BEAST! We need more members like this man.
LEGEND
“Love it. No RINO here.
He's a grandstanding idiot. The subject was energy security for Europe. What Mast was bullying the witness about was pipelines in the US. The only reason this schmuck did this was to show how tough he is on the libs - a nice soundbite for his website. If this was a cross-examinaton in a courtroom, he never would have gotten away with any of this. The House rules should be changed to stop this crap - which is practiced by both parties.
Well Done Mr Mast!!!! Do not stand down........this is what is necessary to stop the radicalize, extremist, Democrats. Hear! Hear! Mr Mast!!!
My kind of guy, not a gay! I'm happy, watching this man exposing the american haters, "The Demoncrapts"! Look what they're doing to this wonderful nation!! Totally trashing it, turning it to a banana republic. Only reason they didn't accomplished their goals Yet, is because the 2nd amendment which give right for people to possess weapons for the preservation of life, liberty, and property! May God Bless us!
"cLoSe mY MoUtH, SiR?" "Yes, you heard it directly. That's why you sound so offended, because you heard what I said." This is pure gold. Not to meantion when he hit the nail on the head, "This is the reason why Americans hate Washington D.C."
Not to MENTION-I love foreign language
This is EXACTLY why nothing gets done. Pissing around in a circle over a yes or no question, to then just get interrupted by someone from an opposition party. It would be so refreshing to one day simply see politicians working for WE THE PEOPLE and not their own special interests.
This should be on every major network. Love this guy!
"Close my mouth, sir?". "Yes, you heard it directly." And then the guy does close his mouth, as he should have. I love it.
You all realize this is for show and nothing changes and they are both on the same side of the people, the opposite side !
Finally, a politician who doesn’t let others waffle non answers.
When he said I don't care that you're honoured that's where he got me. Because these liars always bullshit "thank you for the question" "it's an honor to be here" "I appreciate the question" and waste 10 seconds for every question. That needs to be stopped. The format is already crap. And Republicans aren't using it smartly because the leadership in both House & Senate isn't smart.
@@GokulOnFire when he said “I’m NOT worried about how honored you are”-loved it!!!
Well every damn one of them answer questions the same way, they avoid a clear yes or no and beat around the bush not answering anything Everybody is getting fed up with this nonsense! You go Mr Mast!!
It was educational to see how the Democrats speak in ways like they are above everyone else, like they know what they are doing, as if, they are the benevolent ones superior and in the know only. Democrats are fake, fake, fake, and bring nothing to the table, except deals that will payback to their personal coffers later.
Love Brian Mast! Such an American Patriot! God Bless him, and God Bless America! 🙏🏻
“Now you can have two seconds back” the guy is still shaking
LMAO...🤣😂🤩
That old tool is a puppet and that scrub couldnt even answer a question! Corrupt as can be and he wasnt having it 😂 scolded them like they were his kids😭
What they don't realize is by their REFUSAL to answer they have ALREADY ANSWERED ... LOUD & CLEAR! Their babble (to deflect from the questions) SPEAKS VOLUMES!
when he said "im not worried about how honored you are" i started laughing so hard ..lmao
Me too that was classic
Not me. He is trying to intimidate the other speaker. Who care his personal ideas, he is representing others.
@@righteousbyfaithinChrist Who cares what you think? You aren't representing anyone!
Me too ❣️
Here too! LOL!
When a person has that much trouble answering a question, something's wrong.
It’s all the so called Dems and how they act . Frauds!!!!!!!
Yea, it means they're lying or know the answer and deliberately don't answer it
PLEASE LOOK UP "THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION " YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT THE MEANING. ITS PURELY FKD.
The something wrong, is to say no pipelines.
I'm not a Republican, but that guy dropped the mic on that rampage. Absolutely beautiful!!!
That is exactly what we need to see and hear....having a backbone is making a come back. The new house is going to be great 👍
Brian Mast deserves a medal for absolutely destroying the Dems on energy.. that made my day😁😁
Republicans refuse to back bill on price gouging oil
Corporations making record profits
Mast is a BAD ASS!!!
@@deweyjohnson9321
That wouldn't be the case if the Keystone pipeline weren't shut down & drilling domestically could be opened up
He's already lost both legs fighting for our country. Most of these Marxists have been fighting against us in the universities.
Any time someone starts the question with”thank you for asking this question “ it’s gonna be a lie
Yup
And using the Congressman's title before every long evasive answer.
All of the Left-wing does it. Time consuming nonsense.
And a waste of time. Rep Mast reacted appropriately to such.
I have noticed that too!
They say that to take time off the clock. The phrase should be banned.
Love it Mr Mast. We need more people like you...
I don't care how f****** honored you are!! Mr Brian Mast is a superhero!
Someone that evades every questions he's asked, doesn't deserve respect. You EARN respect by your actions.
There’s as much of a difference between not answering a question and not answering in the way someone wants you to answer a question as there is between asking about the details of government policy and asking about the details of someone’s personal opinion…
.. but I can see where you’re coming from.
Stay right there.
@@starbirthcalamity Every question was asked in a way so the only answer was 'yes' or 'no'. You can answer the question first, then state policy second.

Exactly, I don't recall 😜
@@Rapturetjmoore I'll have to circle back and let you know at a later date.
Never a straight answer.

I have been really honored to have this opportunity...
I'm not worried about how honored you are.
Love that Brian Mast!
LMAO...... 😅🤣😂😁😛
Wow, finally someone fighting for WE THE PEOPLE!
This man is awesome we need more of him
Maybe we should have him run for president. He's black keep this one of the boxes. But he's also honest and wants to support America so I guess that wouldn't work as far as the Democrats are concerned
Dodging a direct question is also called lying….
Chairman: "Objection."
Congressman: "SHUT THA FUCK UP!"
Brian Mast you jut made my Christmas card list. Thank You. Sick em.
Boy these Democrats sure get angry when they are called out on their BS. "Energy security to our allies" - what about Energy security for the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
These Democratic don't fear God,that 's why Biden is fill with so much.
Don't worry, God is going to clean the swamp ,he his working by his Spirit.
They hate the Truth‼️
Liberals are all about love and peace, until you disagree with them.
They certainly do!
Shhh listen to Rand Paul how heated he gets
I never heard of Brian Mast but this made me a huge fan. What a legend. I wish there were more in the Republican party like him.
absolutely
Rangers lead the way. And have no time for B.S.
He’s my Congressman. I enjoyed watching this and called his office to let him know lol
Imagine no legs! (born July 10, 1980) is an American politician and U.S. military veteran who has served as the U.S. representative for Florida's 18th congressional district since 2017. Mast is a member of the Republican Party.
@Daniel B need to push out all the rino's!
Love the smile on Mr. Masts face as he questions the guy at the table. He is representing all Americans as he discusses with committee chairman how Democrats are increasing prices on our energy!
Watch somebody in government actually representing us we the people!
Brian Mast, awesome.
We need many more representatives like him.
Great job for standing up for America.
Thank you
Thank you we the people are sick and tired of there games
That's why I have said " Out with the old, in with the new" young Republicans have much more fight in them, not like the " Go along to get along" old guard attitude.
I don't think it's merely coincidental that he's a FLA rep. Looks like the DeSantis attitude is contagious. Excellent!
If we had more representatives lik Mr Mast our country would be in alot better shape. Thank you for standing up for us.
We have more like him, we just need them to move on the lies and get these traitors out of our government!
Wow...this gentleman is so impressive. He’s articulate, respectful and knowledgeable. He ran rings round both of those bozos.
He's a decorated combat veteran too! Not a career politician!
@@BST-lm4po not at a career politician? What is he an amateur politician?
@@SierraArms you must love how the obiden administration is destroying this country. Sad.
@@SierraArms I think you are confused. But hey that's typical for leftist loons. Let me try to help you out. "Career" implies life long. Like Ted Cruz for example is a life long bureaucrat/politician. Cruz may have spent some time in a private law firm, but most of his career has been in government.
Where as Mast just entered politics 6 years ago, so he would be considered more of a novice I believe.
BTW, you should seek help with your TDS before you go completely nuts.
@@SierraArms amateur commentator.
They should be fined $500 or more every time they don't answer the question and dance around the issue. What a waste of the people's time and money.
"The Chair" should be fined double for his insolence, obstruction, and abuse of power.
Further, "The Chair" should be removed from his position if he is unable to recognize the obvious lack of cooperation by the respondent.
The legal citizens of America need more politicians like Mr Mast.
The chairman interrupting Mast its unacceptable and despicable! Just proves how desperate the democrats are....
We haven't seen anything yet, just wait and see what they do come next election, then we will see just how desperate they truly are. One must never forget " Desperate people always do Desperate things ", and the radical far left Comi Dems. are desperate, in fact so desperate they are willing to oblige Putin into WW3
That’s all Nadler does !
The democrats do not care if we no how utterly contemtable they are . It's water off a ducks beck to them . That is why they must go. They do not have Americans best interests in their hearts. It is the green new deal or die. While the rest of the world are still dirtying up the air and water all over.
@@brethenkel9168
Except this was Keating….
Democrats have messed up now they are scared for their job senseless people or can you call them people criminals
THEY ARE GETTING "EXACTLY" THE RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE!
BLM Biden' s laptop matters. Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton need to be in jail. The collapse of the US economy. MSM will be broke and hungry with the rest of America.
And that's aa very little. What about the Chair having respect due to Rep Mast by the gofor. He asked a question and received junk in reply.
That was great!! Telling the TRUTH to the lying DIMS!! FOLKS THIS HAS GOT TO BE CHANGED!! GET THOSE DAMN CROOKS OUT!!
Tell em for all of us
"How dare you use my own words against me!" Said every dimocrat
Ha, ha, good one!
Dumb-o-crats
"We the people" very well said.
Calling them out to their face PRICELESS 👍🇺🇸
The Chairman is corrupt and a Putin communist. His way of leadership is the truth is what I say it is. Very American of him. Sad times.
Ive been saying that for many many years. WE THE PEOPLE. thats who the Government officials are to REPRESENT!!!!!!.
WE THE PEOPLE
WELL SAID. but all that falls on deaf EARS AND BRAINS
The plan of Democrats and biden along with barack is simply destroy America and loot all its resources for themselves and let china and Russia grab their own piece.
Those guy’s have it down pack: DOUBLE TALK!!!
Nail on the head rep. Mast! Keep up the great work!❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The strange way that these Democrats can't answer simple questions. It appears they ALL do this. Drives me crazy, evasive thieves.
like trying to nail jello to a wall.
They can't tell the truth , so they just won't answer.
They're cowards.
Its not that they can't, its that they simply won't because they know they don't have to.
@@Mike-In-O-Town because they're backed up by the international MAFIA
If they won’t answer the simple questions asked and insist on being deceptive, then they should be fined $100,000.00. Want answers start hurting the individuals where it hurts the most. “Their pockets”.
We need to re-institute flogging!
If I hear thank you for the questions and never get a answer I would love to see fines for them thats what we the American citizen are paying these politicians for let's start hitting there pockets
You obviously didn't watch this very carefully. The witness tried to answer the questions and was repeatedly cut off before he could get out five word. Furthermore, Mast's questioning had nothing to do with the subject - energy security in EUROPE. Both parties pull this crap because all they care about is getting a soundbyute for their website that shows them being tough.
Its all a show, they dont give a shit about us . They have their fat salaries and all their fancy govt healthcare and dont miss a meal. the fight in front of the camera and then go golfing and drinks after the camera is off.
@@gng228 on the contrary, I did watch and heard no answer to the question asked. What I did see was the question Dodge dance which is not an answer. So which part of the questioning were you in the bathroom doing your toilet thing, and not watching what I was watching.
Thank You for your services to our country, America LOVES You Senator Mast❤🇺🇲✌️
CRUSHING THE TYRANNY ! ! ! GO MAST ! ! !
"I'm not worried about how honored you are"
and
"don't participate then (if you don't want to), close your mouth and let me do the work"
Ahhhhhh. That was awesome. More of that please. That old man was crying like such a child. More mocking them and reminding that American tax payers come before their petty ego.
Ditto. i am going to remember that quote
The subject of the hearing had nothing to do with his questions - none of which he let the witness answer. All this schmuck wanted was a soundbyte for his website. Both parties pull this crap. They show up at hearings just to make points that have nothing to do with the hearing. It's what passes for governing these day. No wonder Congress can't get anything done.
The chairman has been taking lessons from Jerry Nadler…and that weakens America at home and abroad. Thank you Mr. Mast!
Mr Mast...you are my hero!
THANK YOU MR. MAST. WELL DONE!!!!
These witnesses NEVER answer questions so dishonest. Thank you Mr. Mass
Even the chairman tried cover the person who answered and he heard
" close your mouth , let me ask questions that he refused to answer !
Iike that journalist Mr.Wallace in the debate btw Mr. joe biden & the best President Trump
2016-2020 and heard that he was interfering in the debate 2020 election !
Witnesses? More like lobbyists trying to take a turn at the chow trough!
Another great leader from Florida.!☀☀we love our leaders..
Bill Keating is your typical rhino...old, angry, and thinks he doesn't have to answer for his party's bad policies.
Brian Mast is great. We need more like him!! The chairman was extremely disrespectful, just because he does not agree with Brian Mast.
We better see heads rolling down the street when we retake congress ( this is a metaphor) youtube screeners.not asking for violence and its ludicrous I have to state this.
Thanks
The only disrespectful people here are the chairman and the witness. My new hero is congressman Mast. I cannot express how grateful I am to see Mr. Mast keep his composure and stand up to the bully chairman. " no you're not" priceless.
We need laws that force these people to answer questions straight or they get punished.
I agree! They owe the American people answers!!
they should just loose their job
They should get put in jail for refusing to answer the question AND the “chairman” was WAY off base.
I love this guy. You fight evil with guts and he’s got them.
Evil!?! The fossil fuel companies that Mast represents are good and wholesome!?!
And he put the Chairman back on his heals without insults and screams. Bada.. to the bone.

Brilliant reply Brian Carrier!!
Please donate to his re-election. He's a US combat vet, lost both of his legs in the war.
When a person says “ Thank you for the question”. Just an immediate sign of an obfuscation!
that gives them time to think about how they are going to get out of answering it!
It's not that actually. Each congressman is given a set amount of time. Thanking for the question is just a strategy to run out the clock to avoid answering questions.

It’s amazing how a congressional oversight committee, when asking questions of a gov employee, can’t get them to answer. It’s becoming all to common.
That's because the system has no teeth so there's no fear....But the citizens will soon change that, probably sometime this winter.

He also didn’t wait his turn, meaning he doesn’t follow rules and the younger gentleman that doesn’t answer questions shouldn’t get a paycheck, he has no personal capacity and he explain that to Mr. Mast! I love how he told him na you can’t!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why the hell are WE paying for anything overseas!!!???
Stay on him Mr Mast. I can't believe that none of these people will answer a question.
Kind of like all the Trump inner circle ignoring subpoenas or taking the 5th. Wasn't it a great man who famously said "the only people who take the 5th are the mob"? No. It wasn't. It was a little man named Trump who's currently sweating his orange spray tan right off.
Love his energy and his demeanor, he’s what the people needs. True Patriotism

Those liars do not answer questions!
Talk talk talk no one will ever be held accountable
"I'm not worried about how honored you are." Legendary!
