  1. Gas prices are already down. We all know and are aware of immigration problems that have gone on for decades under BOTH parties. Drug problems won’t be solved by border rhetoric.

  2. Scalise is the majority leader, yet the WEF shows McCarthy as the majority leader on their website. Seems odd…

  3. Please, republicans passed with Trump a bill to raise taxes on $75,000 and below for the next five years AND cut taxes for the wealthiest!

  4. No steve ,you take the job!

  5. Will McCarthy return the House to regular order or under his leadership will he continue to put forth bills that aren't paid for?

  6. Steve Scalise doesn't want to be the Speaker of the House because he knows he doesn't have the balls for the job…

    Too soon?

  7. Rep. Scalise is a brazen liar. Time and again, THEY were the ones who rejected lowering costs for working families. Look it up. It's called the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. It would have given the President the authority to crack down on big oil companies who are intentionally restricting supply to keep prices high and rake in more profit for their buddies on Wall Street. In the House, every single Republican voted against it. I wonder why? 🤔 Additionally, the bipartisan Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 passed both chambers and became law back in May. What have Republicans done since to fight inflation? They have no plan — or, rather, their "plan" is simply to deregulate all industries and allow corporations to continue making record profits at the expense of consumers. I'm sure that'll work. 🙄

  8. What lie trump cut anything American now was canda country trump full

  9. I just think McCarthy is NOT the best to do these things . Jordan or TRUMP.

  10. No more establishment RINOs, it's America First now!! If any Republicans are "to the left" of Mccarthy then they are shills and shouldn't be in the Republican party at all. The country hates insane leftists and wants real populist (for the people) conservative alternatives. GOP will never win if they run establishment hacks or globalists in disguise. And tbh the GOP leadership cares more about special interest money then they do about restoring sanity to America. No more Mccarthy, no more McConnell and NO MORE TRUMP!
    Really put America first!

  11. I don’t claim him as a fellow Louisianian👎 you suck Stevo!

  12. I can't believe Steve would nominate Kevin Mccarthy… I just lost a great amount of respect for him. We all know Kevin Mccarthy is in bed with the establishment. A rhino-republican. With Kevin Mccarthy as speaker I believe it will be politics as usual. A tiger doesn't change its stripes !

  13. Sir, we just wanted a name of who you're voting for.

  14. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)

  15. 50 yrs ago we were the 1st in solar energy and a Republican President took the Solar Panel off the White house. He was from Texas. Short sidelines or Petroleum Mogul.

  16. Attention Democrats! This may be a unique opportunity for you to get a concession from McCarthy in exchange for your vote. Hakeem Jeffries is not going to win in a Republican Congress. It’s simply ‘idealistically’ unrealistic. You’ve already shown your support for Hakeem Jeffries. Now, pull a stunning upset and get a concession from McCarthy in exchange for your vote! It doesn’t matter what the concession is. Any symbolic concession is a win for democrats, and it will show a desire to work with republicans and move forward. Call your representative now and steal their show! Lol

  17. “To solve the problems” “you know what they are” “can you please tell me, because I don’t know”

  18. ABC, y did u give us that entire speech. MSM acts as though they have a horse in this race.

  19. Biden did not shut down US oil production. He stopped a Canadian pipeline that would only provide 250 jobs. The pipeline was for export of oil. There are hundreds of oil leases that have not been tapped. Biden could get more oil refineries going, that would help. Trump didn’t open up any new refineries.

  20. Remember the time when all the GOP senators voted against Biden Infrastructure bill. Most of them went back to their state and lie to their constituents about how they got millions from Biden Infrastructure bill to help fix their state road and bridges. The GOP is full of it.

  21. republicans voted against the Inflation Reduction Act. "We know what the problem is": it's the lying gop, rep Scalise is a prime example of that! And every time I see kevin mccarthy shake hands with another republican I think "what has he promised to that other republican?"

  22. Would you trust anyone who voted for Kevin The Ring Kisser?

  23. C mon already which one of trumps idiots will be Tweeker of the House ?

  24. How much money did McCarthy pay scaliest?

  25. So to fix problems all we have to do is put McConnell, McCarthy and shumer in leadership. Why didn't we try using them tge last 10 years they've been leaders. Get real. If after an election, tge same people are in leadership then I believe your not even trying.

  26. Lying republicans they’re 💩💩💩💩💩

  27. Sad day for McCarthy.

  28. Ya right.🖕🏻🤮🐷💩🤢

  29. The coup plotters only want to finish the coup.

  30. Ya right 🤢🤡🖕🏻🤮🐷💩👍

  31. So, McCarthy thought he was slick when he went out of his way to provide cover for Trump during the impeachments, eh? Should he have expected anything else would transpire by making a deal with the devil, aka MAGA world?
