  1. The we hate freedom caucus should be called the white supremacy caucus

  2. It is always fun to listen to folks talk that are true experts. These political insider geeks know their stuff…thanks for sharing!

  3. The saga of the National Debt is NOT about "spending more money" it's paying off a Credit Card for money they've already spent.

  4. He "Sold His Soul" to win the "Speaker of The House".

  5. Freedumb Caucus wants to cut your social security. Plain and simple, yet dumbarse Republicans will always vote against their own interests, and vote these clowns into office. They don't want to raise the debt ceiling, and so one of their demands is to cut social security before they will. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, you stupids!

  6. Looking forward very excitedly to seeing Biden and his family being fully and completely investigated and prosecuted by laws….

  7. It’s bad enough he sold his entire body for this. Even worse that he sold all his children’s soul’s for this position. Legend has it when he dies he gets defaulted to the bend over position because of a deal.

  8. What many media generously forget to mention: the "renegade minority of Republicans" wanted, primarily, to achieve with their move that the deputies are given at least two hours to look through documents before they are supposed to decide on bills.
    A similar clause would certainly also have made sense in our Bundestag vote on the "Epidemische Lage von nationaler Tragweite (epidemic situation of national importance)" before the introduction of the recent pandemic religion.

  9. Poor Republicans who can actually think for themselves. Why not join the Democratic zombies.

  10. World 🌍 wide.🛼💶💵✈️💵🚚

  11. 💶🌎🎽🎽🚙👗🛒🤑🏫🏘️🏛️⌚🕗🚚💵💷✈️🏠🚛🚛🧥🧥💴💴🙏🌍

  12. No the whole world 🌍 wide got it . everything business money product appliances furniture s ranchers farms house's keys money trillion dollars business stuff appliances furniture s house's motels furniture worldwide

  13. I couldn't be happier, knowing the concessions he made toward the amazing Freedom Caucus!

  14. 7min is very short for this subject.

  15. freedom caucus is showing the american public how important 1 persons vote can be and not just the president. your representatives matter.

  16. Current Republican Party is now control by Conservative, Extremist, and White Nationalist.

    Each with their own agenda and avarice that American people will suffer for sure.

    Republican party cannot hold power of American people.

  17. Probably about the same amount AOC got out of the old bag Pelosi

  18. My gosh. The only people I have come across who get it. Bravo gentlemen. The Freedom Caucus move is historic. Both sides of the aisle should thank these brave people.

  19. He making too many deals to get votes.

  20. In the long run, it's not going to make any difference with a Democrat senate and Whitehouse. What a useless fight and waste of time. If they try and shut down government, which is the only power they have, they'll be wiped out in 2024. Bring it on.

  21. Yes McCarthy sold the American people out for a wooden hammer. Now the agents of chaos will have at our economy, our social security, our medicare. They of course will of course get nowhere. They will hold our economy hostage and probably and potentially cause this nation of default.

  22. Take care of your own neighbors.

  23. For the congressmen offering support, didn't you see McCarthy NOT show up to honor Capital Police today?? Do NOT support him

  24. Dems should be very afraid now

  25. There is a war going on… Putin Caucus is about to cut DEFENSE spending… Disaster…

  26. 3 days for Republicans to elect a speaker of the house. Next two years will be a total hault by GOP.

  27. Just a thought to you 200 Congress men and women on the Republican side who backed up Kevin McCarthy. The next two years are on your hands. You did this you could’ve changed things.

  28. That fringe is set 100% on blowing up the house. Don't listen to the words they are set on simply causing pain and setting fire to everything. What will we look like on the other side.

  29. He must give all to koo koos

  30. The Freedom Caucus is against freedom. Why are they called the Freedom Caucus?

  31. Did they get their free cars yet?

  32. Chuck Todd continues to show contempt for the Republican Party due to his abusive father and alcoholic mother.

  33. He's getting the votes because everyone is tired and wants it over with.

  34. Sad that you would have to be forced to vote till you turned blue and just get it over with rather than having multiple options.

  35. After Jack Smith starts handing out indictments, the Congress may be back in Democrat's hands.

  36. What the freedom caucas want is cover from the Special Council, that's what's being negotiated.

  37. Clowns insurrectionist clowns!!!!

  38. Yuk yuk yuk ! Clown show. 🎶🎶 some people say he’s handy, he’s Kevin the rodeo clown 🎶🎶

  39. It's actually a good thing to fight the Rino's that have been screwing the taxpayers for decades.

  40. Nobody wants McCarthy in the seat like Democrats and Ukraine.

  41. Hunter Biden laptop is a huge story that's were the evidence is on the Big guy.

  42. To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
