Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), both formally announced Wednesday they will run for Speaker of the House after Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted, sending letters to their colleagues asking for support. Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) discusses why he is supporting Scalise for speaker, “If his doctors are in, if Jennifer – his wife — is in, I’m in.” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) says he’d “certainly be willing” to force a shutdown if Ukraine aid is not included in the government funding bill.

we are in need to cut off all spies from coming into the america now!! trump gave out military information oer Australian billionaire… can you imagine what trump/he may have passed on to his friends putin nkorea china … hes already got billions from the arabs
Crazy… McCarty… didn’t stand by the ex- president , then did. WTH is this guy saying?
Where are serious people.
Jim Jordan is a mess of a man.
but isn't jordan in contempt because he never answered a sappina for the jan 6 committee
Fake news is irrelevant . you are irrelevant. Luers and propaganda covering criminals…
Where is Chuck? Ah, yeah, …
So, those 2 dunderheads are the best that the GOP can muster?
😂😂😂 talk about weapon the justice department Mr. fraud, take a hike, a long hike how about all the way to Russia?
Coward.
Your a joke
Senator Michael Bennett from Colorado. You are a very good man. You have laid out on the table, the necessity for this aid package, and any American. That doesn’t understand. This is not truly an American. Also, I appreciate your list of the democratic achievements of the last two years. It is good for people to hear it again and again.🎉🎉🎉
McCarthy reneged on an agreement, right? He made a deal to secure their votes. Gaetz says he didn't fulfill it, thus, support is withdrawn. Seems straightforward to me. Isn't that accountability?
😂😂😂 let congressman Scalise work out a deal with the Democrats to get him elected. Done 🤬
45:45 Nikki Halley is the hair apparent.
The Dems slit their own throats. Now the question on Ukraine Funding is out the door. Before they voted against McCarthy they had a promise. Now all bets are off. They and Zel should be worried.
Joe Biden has managed to pass bi-partisan laws even with this insane GOP congress!
No wonder ratings are dropping for msm they can't be truthful. Most normal people don't want more money for ukraina or agree with anything u just said. We need a president who's doesn't have dementia that can get both sides to agree & stop the senseless killings & make America 🇺🇸 great again!
Trump needs to just face reality. If he broke the same laws others go to prison for, he better learn to embrace Orange.
His behaviour is the same Banks, corporate partners and vendors has dealt with for over 40 years.
Donald is always the victim as he destroys others.
I am amused, when you sign an engagement to represent, it states what the client gave you is factual and complete by your understanding.
The responsibility is on the client to be honest.
The only time this gets tested is if the accountant finds obvious fraud.
If bank closing statements and appraisal was fraudulent, the preparer would not know.
That's why the client swore in engagement to provide the true numbers.
For once, he doesn't have anyone to take the fall for him.
Show's how dense he is about business.
McCarthy is and was a spineless leader. You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything!
Jim Jordan needs to be expelled and Prosecuted
Why does the press omit the fact that the two nominees for speaker voted NOT to certify the last election. You CANNOT have people who DO NOT believe in democracy participate in a democracy. They are guaranteed to destroy the institution and the peoples faith in government, it's about to get real crazy in America……..
Surprise?! 🙂 Chuck Todd is now the guest of his own show HAHA LOLS!
Does anyone on Capital Hill give the furry crack of a rat's behind about the American people????? Or are they all just in it for themselves?
I AM LIP-LIP. KING OF THE LONG TOOTH PUPPIES.
Lindsay Graham strongly reminds me of Beauty Smith. From the same book
Prohibition.
A big overdose on whiskey and next thing you know ; you've been diagnosed with blood cancer!
why always in support of war and death? why?
The Great Depression was partially caused by Prohibition.
Drug war!! Yeah!!!
Drinking whiskey at America southern border! Theres your drug War! All those people might not even drink whiskey. Some of them, but not all of them snort cocaine. Thats where America and the drug war is at , southern borders.
For your life. Do you want the drug war?
How about a shot of whiskey ? Prohibited of a different kind? Right up your noses! In your face!
Any Congressional District ( D,R or I) that sends a representative who's number one issue is "Do Not Reach Across the Aisle" are FOOLS!
I am American, can you help?
The whole world watches and waits upon what hangs in Americas stead.
Is there anything else, are we being virtual reality water boarded; by the American dream machine?
Why give 1135809 oxygen? Why? It is not news his BS.
Womack, what a wack job.
I'm in my 70s and I've never seen the republicans ever do anything positive for the country besides co-signing on bills democrats wrote up. Everything else was negative unless you were rich.
the ''Conclave of Idiots"
You people just don't get it. It's not far right to want a budget. It's not about finding a guy who can get 218 votes and always win every hand. It's not a game of pieces to move around for the win. It's about getting a legally required job done that hasn't been done for thirty years – make a budget. McCarthy promised he'd put separate appropriate bills on the table AS IS REQUIRED BY LAW and Americans can't afford more CR budgeting. But I get it, you don't WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT – you guys don't care. It's not your paycheck that doesn't cover the groceries. Nobody wants money going to Ukraine, including you, – but your boss won't let you say it or you'll lose your job on TV. Hope you grow a soul before it's too late.
Go For Jimbo Ohio
Matt is a Disestablishmentarianist like Trump.
Republicans are not Fit To Lead Period.
Please please please support Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
I need Chuck Todd to NEVER retire, please? Thank you.
Please God ! Not Jim “No Jacket” Jordan ! His temper is out of control. This would result in more PARALYSIS ! 😩
