It was only a matter of time before we see why Rupert Murdoch kept Council on Foreign Relations member Maria Bartiromo on staff. Today Ms. Bartiromo showed her GOPe bona fides with a full-throated defense of Kevin McCarthy and the effort to fund government by continuing resolution.
As the combative interview takes place, pay *CLOSE* attention to the glimpses of Ms. Bartiromo’s ¹phone that appear in her screen shot. I will bet you a donut Kevin McCarthy was texting her in real time with instructions on what to say to Matt Gaetz. WATCH:

Seriously…how can anyone defend a $30 trillion deficit?
Its now $33 Trillion, operating budget. This doesn’t include $194 Trillion in unfunded liabilities like medicare, medicade, social security, military and government pensions etc. The total is more like $227 Trillion.
There is no recovery from this financial debacle. The “great reset” indeed.
Better “Be Prepared”.
In large measure the economic devastation orchestrated by the Council On Foreign Relations “Free Trade” treason brought us to this debt enslavement level and beholden to China amongst others. this all could have been avoided if not for this globalist organization that has worked to undermine and destroy Heritage America since its formation that Marie works for and their globalist agenda
Turn your fiat paper into gold and silver.
I’ve asked this question before and could never get an answer. Let’s say you have gold and silver. Who trades in gold and silver. If I need a loaf of bread, are they going to give me change in lower denominations of gold and silver – or am I going to pay $2,000 for a loaf of bread?
I think it’s more of a hedge against a fiat collapse. Gold and silver have intrinsic value, as does ammo and other barter items.
Recall the story of the collapsing Deutsche Mark post WW I. A gentleman took a wheel barrel of Deutsche Marks and left it in front of a bakery while he went inside. When he came back out the wheel barrel was gone and the pile of Marks sat on the side walk. You get the picture.
expecting noone to make change in advance is part of the ‘being prepared’ process
junk silver
You can obtain a suitable amount of the old silver coinage from dealers, I believe its 90% silver. Were things to go south you could trade . Silver value in a pre 1964 quarter $4.10. Dime $1.70 . Rough values.
Junk Silver coins, dimes and quarters ma8nly, pre 1964 are still available. But with the Decline in the worth of tha paper fiat funny money 5 in Silver now equals around 105 in paper.
Keep your precious metals in smaller tradeable sizes and sell it for cash or trade it, as needed. Then use the cash to buy whatever you need. I imagine the point of the exercise is not to completely opt out of using cash, but rather to have the majority of your stashed wealth in precious metals, and not in paper…
Yes, especially if Uncle Sam is going to pull it all from your accounts. Keep only minimum in the bank.
Keep your money out of banks
When you buy gold, you pay in dollars. The Gold Companies are happy to take your payment in US dollars. Also precious metals pay no interest on your investment or dividends. Their fear tactics make no sense!
You need junk silver and lots of it. That’s what you use to buy your eggs and bread
I did just that. When Trudeau used the banking system to punish the truckers.
That is the “Truth” no one will say in polite company. The USSA’s Feral Reserve “Dollar” Is Not OUR Money!!! It is Bankster “Money” ushered in under democRat Wilson, with Gold Confiscation under democRat FDR.
This Bankster “Money” is an Abomination and Should Fail !!! The Debt collapse is Unavoidable. CYA, Conduct yourselves Accordingly.
There is no such thing as unfunded liabilities. They will be funded by working Americans as time goes on,
or simply repudiated
No, the interest on the debt will skyrocket as interest rates increase. Not to mention the trillions in low interest bonds maturing and the prices sinking like a rock. This is a very big deal.
Actually there is a portion of the budgetary data entitled exactly that. Liabilities that as of the present are not funded by any account in the treasury, nor are there any foreseeable revenues in the future sufficient to fund those liabilities over and beyond all other forecast liabilities.
interest on the debt and large social welfare programs such as SSA and SSI are in the unfounded liability category. Simple extrapolation of all demographics plus forecast payments to all forecast recipients yields the required amount of funding. These and many other liabilities implemented by vote-seeking Congress members over the decades has created a huge bucket of payment promises for which no money exists.
Perhaps as has been mentioned here before they are going to seize your bank accounts to pay for this fake debt when they switch to digital?
And free everything for the border jumpers.
The financial “expert” morons who keep saying astronomical debt doesn’t matter.
To count to one trillion – if you count 1 dollar every second – it would take 31,688 years.
To one billion – it would take 95 years.
To one million – it would take 23 days.
No one realizes what kind of money this is. We just can’t comprehend it.
Great job Congressman Gaetz!
Liked the part about committees formed an Republicans yell at the other side but never anything more…like accountability!
Precisely!
Application. Application. Application.
Like Howdy Gowdy at the Benghazi Hearing with Hilarity Rotten Clintoon. btw, Isn’t Howdy on Faux Newz now???
Trey Gowdy has the Sadz..
Congressional investigation – where the truth goes to die.
You are right. Refer to “do nothings” Paul Ryan, Jason Chaffetz, Trey Gowdy and Darrell Issa, three of whom now work for Fox News. The impeachment “inquiry” is a delay tactic and is duplicating work already completed in the committees. Should have moved right to a markup of articles of impeachment in the Judiciary Committee, a vote of the full committee and, if approved, sent to the full House for an impeachment vote.
I dont want to be a Debbie downer. Really, I dont. But I never really trusted anyone on Fox News since the red wave was stolen, even Tucker. Bartiromo shared texts with her producer trashing Trump supporters after 2020 election. She is a CFR stenographer from way back. It took a lot for me to sit through that entire clip while she was screaming over Matt Goetz. NONE of these people are your friend. They want stolen elections forever to keep their power base going. They want to rob your family of their future and way of life. They’re your enemy not friend.
You’re not being a Debbie Downer, you are speaking truth. At this point trusting a news actor is well kinda dumb, all news actors.
Tucker said “I hate him passionately!” about Trump on Jan 4, 2021.
I miss her broadcasts from Davis. Almost like Dr Zhivago….
Money Honey sold out to the Good Old Boys.
Let’s remember that the former CNN “Money Honey” has always had a sharp-edged, strident voice when she gets agitated in these interviews. I’ve often winced at her irritatingly harsh vocal quality and I’ve thought poorly of the Fox sound engineers who could easily tone it down with long-existing audio equalization technology.
But her argument here is trying to defend the indefensible. Sundance has had her number for several years, despite her previously giving many Trump-supporting Politicians and pundits many opportunities to promote & defend MAGA policies or the false allegations against PDJT when no other network would.
Her voice would shatter glass. It’s simply unbearable. It always amazes me what people will put up with in the presence of powerful, usually unspoken, secondary gains.
Well said!
Great catch with the cell phone still. Why would any journalist in any medium gaze at a cell phone during a broadcast?
Why indeed.
Would be nice is someone would ask her.
Maria wasn’t even listening to Matt Gaetz, she was looking at her phone for what to say next.
She was probably dialing 911!
To see if the deposit hit her bank account?
Desperation. For some reason these people are really getting rattled lately. The arrogance and smugness is turning into desperation.
She was on the edge of panic.
Wholesale rudeness and snark have been nouvelle vague across nearly all strata of society for some time now. Amazing, isn’t it?
If her job was to make the American people think Gaetz is the roadblock to preventing a shutdown it was a massive fail.
If her job was to make Gaetz look like he is actually working for the American people, it was a big success that came at the expense of her own credibility
Excellent interpretation of events!
^^^ Yes…THIS ^^^
Lovely comment. Well done Elle.
This wasn’t the best of Maria. Much of this and adios, Maria.
I would venture to guess that there is virtually ZERO support for Pres. Trump and MAGA @ Fox News or any MSM “news” source.
Looking for like minded warriors? You’ll have to go to Newsmax, America’s Voice, The First, or OAN.
I recently finished reading None Dare Call It Treason. The author, John Stormer, notes that a 1954 House Committee report found them “not objective…but overwhelmingly …promoting the globalistic concept.”
Awfully biggly horse
to be riding,
Maria Bartitomo.
What’s next,
evening white gloves
and
red cleavage?
-retrograde
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I remember that photo very well!
That was a beautiful evening.
The Lion had them sweating and squirming.
Yes he did!
Her gloves sure don’t look like the ones Jackie Kennedy wore. Not an attractive look.
Agree. “Haute couture” has changed significantly since 1960….
That’s because Jackie’s were undoubtedly made of kidskin, worn tight as a drum and always wrinkle-free.
These synthetic varieties always look like hell and are strictly from hunger. Wash and wear though. 🤣
How could we forget those 2 dangling earrings.
Costume jewelry aka “baubles”.
Amen. They look like they belong on the end of a bell pull or drapery hold back.
Some places that sell them even refer to them as “chandelier earrings.”
My goodness, look at the size of those earrings she has on. Maybe to balance the cleavage?
I think Hillary had her eyes on Maria that night….
Blechhhhh… 🤢
Does anyone know Morse code? Pretty sure Maria was blinking something out during that interview. Great job by Gaetz. Taking no s***, but still coming off like a happy warrior. I predict he will go far.
I really hope he will, but I would imagine his frustration level at this point is yuge.
I finally figured out how to email these congressmen without living in the district they represent. I live in Mississippi and just sent him an email bragging on his stand to McCarthy.
We’ve seen this over and over. Foxnews personalities can never be trusted. They are all programmed to pull the trigger at the appointed time. Only one who wouldn’t was Tucker and he’s gone. Take note and never forget who Maria really is.
I knew they were scum when they stopped having the America First Pat Buchanan on.
Even old Newt when he decided to mention soros.
Good call Sundance. She also specifically dressed down to look harsh. IMHO
MB probably makes close to 10 million a year at FOX, if not more(?). Is she shallow for doing the bidding of her producers/owners (the ones who pay her), is she truly GOPe or is she filling in the circle on the ballot for President Trump and pretending otherwise?
Her husband is a Wall Street Hedge Fund billionaire.
Aren’t they the Hotel magnates?
Who can you trust?
Doesn’t seem like too many
Then she brought on Mark Levin who went on a Matt Gaetz attack. When did debate in Congress become wrong. Apparently Mark wants a Piglosi followers for Kevin. Another issue Maria and Mark are clueless about – debt and interest on the debt. She posted it was 700 billion interest on the debt. Apparently she nor Mark understand basic math. The debt presently is 33.1 Trillion and rising. We borrow 2 trillion every year. The Fed has 3 more meetings this year. Interest on the current t bills is 5.5 percent. Now my math indicates that as the old part of the ten year debt rolls into current debt and the interest rate at approximately 6% we will be paying around 2 trillion on interest. If I am wrong please correct me . If I am correct how will we digitally create 4 Trillion. The old myth is China. That is BS. Reports are clear that China and as well as many other countries are deep in debt.
And those long term treasuries are maturing and bond prices are dropping like a rock every time Powell raises the interest rate. The banks are going to be in big trouble next year IMO.
When Levin is reading and screaming his script I change channels
Mark Levin thinks he knows everything about everything. A little humility from Mr. Levin would be a good thing.
if you still trust Faux News, you need your head examined. thankfully most here know what’s up.
Matt got on it from the opening bell, but you can see how powerful (and just this side of vicious) they really are in shaping narrative in the way she fought back. It is a good lesson in not ceding any ground and challenging their arguments, false premises and lies at all times. Most people will acquiesce out of politeness or comity or desire to get invited back. Unfortunately, there aren’t many Matt Gaetz’ out there.
A little hard on….kevin. I’m betting he’ll refund those 87,000 IRS agents, and release the J-6 tapes first thing Monday….
“It was only a matter of time before we see why Rupert Murdoch kept Council on Foreign Relations member Maria Bartiromo on staff.”
And all this time I thought it had something to do with THE DRESS ™.
😜
McCarthy may be the Speaker of the House, but apparently Gaetz is the Governor of it. Hilarious that McCarthy can’t contain him. Gaetz is the next best thing to Trump that we have. The rest of them would all stab MAGA in the back when it was convenient.
Maria’s screechy voice could slice through the side of an aircraft carrier. I can’t tolerate it. She is less and less credible.
Congratulations to Matt for being so articulate and ready with facts. Of course, they should do line-by-line approvals on these appropriation bills. Way overdue.
Maria, Kevin and the GOPe gang support piglosi’s demand to ‘pass the bill, then we will read it.’
Jim Jordan loves to shout and bounce in his chair during hearings, but what does he actually accomplish? Much ado about nothing.
‘Maria’s screechy voice could slice through the side of an aircraft carrier.’ -MLS
It boggles the mind. When one’s voice is fundamental to one’s profession as a presstitute, how does one soldier on for decades with a lacerating screech that’s like a bucket of sulfuric acid to the face?
Do we see ballet dancers with club feet and rickets? How does the MSM hire and promote an hysterical screecher that assaults the ears of her listeners with vocal hammer blows?
Like you, I find Maria Bartoromo grossly, categorically intolerable, regardless of the content conveyed by her fingernails-on-a-chalkboard shrieks, howls and yelps.
She reminds me of pack of coyotes that hooted and bayed under my bedroom window one night, leaving behind only a gritty pile of scat. Termagant, begone!!
Jordan has a big mouth and is a fast talker but is real slick about why nothing was done regarding the CR for the last 6 months. He is a big disappointment, especially as Chairman of Judiciary. He’s too nice to the Democrats!
Maria was a Trump supporter in 2016 and again in 2020. Now she wants to keep her high paying Fox job so she does what she has to do.
$$$$$$$
Just want to say .. saw this earlier and was very pleased that Matt came on like he did.. made her look flustered…Matt’s a Warrior 👏🇺🇸💪👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
She’s got to tow the line post Dominion law suit. I agree with Tucker and Dan, there are people still at FOX walking on egg shells that don’t think that they have a career off of cable.
I would imagine Maria is a multi-millionaire, at least. She’s older, not at the start of her career, and presumably with no young children yet to raise. At what point does one sacrifice career to do the right thing? Apparently, never.
This was disgraceful for MB. She should have stuck to being a stock exchange floor reporter rather than a shallow GOPe mouthpiece. Gaetz made her look like a defensive teenager who was arguing about having to be home by midnight. Haven’t watched her since 2020 & can see she’s only more firmly controlled by her FOX masters. Just a guess, but after this disaster Gaetz probably won’t be given many more media appearances.
I think she look pretty bad here.
Wow! MB exposed! Love MG
Wow, Maria was in full deep state panic mode. Something is sure rattling these people. You would think these traitorous slimeballs have robbed enough from our depleted treasury.
She sounds like a crazed partisan – wouldn’t let him speak and was breathless with interruptions. So disappointed in her and her “performance”. She was spewing Kevin McCarthy talking points — she was advocating and cheerleading for the deep state. Maria is the opposition and has shown her true colors. Gloves are off — we know who the enemies are and she is one screeching biache. Money babe no more . She is officially a Swamp thing.
Go, Matt!
Maria does her self no favors in saying that we only know about all of this corruption because of the renewed efforts since taking back the majority.
Well we knew a ton of this prior to the 2020 election. The Johnson Grassley report detailed much of it when it came out in Sept 2020. 2 months before the election.

Kev is in the pocket (or pants) of Lobbyist Luntz. End of.
Correction – He NEVER had a pair to grow.
I haven’t watched one second of Faux News in over 2 years. It used to be on my television 24/7, to the point that the logo was screen burned into my set. Got a new TV and won’t go back. They lost me forever.
Life, Liberty and Levin 9/23/23 | September 23, 2023
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2023/09/life-liberty-and-levin-92323-september.html
better late than never – there is nothing for MAGA on fox
Gates is on target. Hope he doesn’t have an accident.
I have noticed that ever since Tucker was canceled she has been noticeably more compliant with the anti-Trump UniParty posture.
All of these FOX interviews are the same, loaded with non sequiturs. It’s apparent the interviewer is not even listening to the answers to their own questions.
Where are the coherent follow-up questions or rebuttals? In this one she just moves on to the next question in the script prepared for her in advance by FOX writers.
Maria is a dying crow and sounds like one too. She has never been trustworthy and those text messages are from her good friend Britney Spears.
I note the complete sentences Matt Gaetz provides, cogent, clear and direct.
This man knows how to present a thought, a subject and his perspective very well.
I like this guy, I think he is more than an up front type of person.
He has my vote!
Maria sounded ridiculous and is trying to insult everyones intelligence. Sounds like Jim Jordan is another liar because she was using him for credibility. I hope Gatz will stand.
Fugitive Laughs When Taken Into Custody by FBI After More Than 32 Years on the Run (VIDEO) |
The Gateway Pundit
Mrs. Clinton was released on her own recognizance.
This comment has nothing to do with the topic of the post, it’s off the wall so to speak…
They are every bit as corrupt and vain as they seem.
Gaetz is the classic ‘all hat, no cattle’ politician.
Lots of bluster and good communications skills but he won’t stick the shiv in McCarthy.
It makes zero, nada, zilch difference if the appropriation bills are one at a time or all at once. It’s all fake.
The Democrats will vote to save Cav-in and embarrass Gaetz.
That too, is disappointing. Who is true MAGA in media now? Who is true MAGA in government? And how many of those we think are true MAGA will also turn out to be sleeper cells or bought out.
At this point, we are way past where Britain and the colonists were in the 1770s.
While it is not yet common knowledge, it is fast becoming such that those who are not MAGA are treasonous.
The problem with the accusations of Treason and Sedition are in who you define as the current nation/government.
If you say our government belongs to the people and the constitution, then anyone fighting MAGA is committing treason, and the WEF, RINOs, Dems, K street, large corporations are commuting Sedition in that they are taking taking over the government of the people and giving it to the Elite/communists/China/WEF/immigrants
If you say the people (WEF/RINOs/Uniparty) are the government, then, like J6, we are called the seditions and treasonous criminals — which is not the case.
The challenge is, who justifies the position of MAGA to take the country back and put it in the hands of the people, when our own government is being weaponized against us.
There must be overwhelming force and unity in the people as they take the country back
To defeat them without war, we must make apparent the violations of the constitution that are taking place and find some remnant of our government that will defend us.
We can overwhelm people, one at a time. Every media person, politician, judge, corporate CEO, Corporate board member, who is contributing, willing or not, to the demise of this nation, need to hear from and overwhelming number of their friends, neighbors, and colleagues. In addition, they need to be outed publicly and continuously be questions and held accountable “rotten fruit” of their labor.
It is the same technique being uses for Green, Gender fluidity, woke, diversity, — except they are spouting overwhelming lies, poor logic, and bad science.
So disappointed in Maria…
Maria Bartiromo succeeded in exposing “Fox News” as a Hitler type propaganda rag.
Realizing of course that Hitler’s rise to power would not have been accomplished without the support of wealthy company owners.
Maria Bartiromo, may have ended her career and closed Fox News in one single hit, peace. It follows, that we may owe her thanks, if this is so.
Come on Sundance!!!! Kevin and Maria are both controlled. Kevin wouldn’t know what to tell Maria. It as her handler
