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:

well, it is FOX
Resounding defeat of “Boobala Lips” Bartiromo.
Keep at them, Matt! We like what you are doing! Somebody has to tell the nation we are going bankrupt!
This is why no one should be watching FOX News. Get your snippets on Youtube, or right here at CTH.
Amen!!!
Exactly.
Never seen her so stressed and anxious and desperate. Wow.
That was my reaction too. As Heat said above: hysterical – as in hysteria, angst, and desperate to prevai at all costl in the dispute.
Matt did an extraordinary job punching back, and seizing the right thread to pull out for examination among the spliced together arguments she was making.
We haven’t watched her in a long time, but I cannot recall ever seeing her lose it before. She looked and sounded foolish as well as desperate – not a good look on anyone.
Matt is growing stronger and stronger in his delivery of “just the facts, Ma’am”. SCORE!
I have never seen her look so desperate. I used to have a fairly high opinion of her, back before Nov 2020 when I still watched any of Fux Noose at all.
There is an interview with the late entertainer Prince where she is just besides herself when he asks her to sing, to sing with him but she becomes immobile and can only smile. We all have our limits.
Fox has not asked her to perform in such a way that it violates her primary principles where she would up and quit her job…wait for it, it is coming due to the new leader of Fox.
Matt Gaetz looks like my MAGA version of Pelosi every day. In a good sense for MAGA. So happy that he is working with moderates to wake them up from their stupor of following McCarthy off a cliff. This version 2.0 of Gaetz, shows me that MG(Matt G.) has learned from his mistakes and is someone actually leading his colleagues in the House, dare I say future Speaker?
hmmmm…..are males ever described as “hysterical”?
True.
She’s near a state of panic
I’m about as likely to watch FOX as I am MSNBC. Serves zero purpose. I despise every talking head on that network
+1. We haven’t watch Fox Neuze for Stupid People since 2022 Oct, but noticed as shown here she got silly to the point I thought she was about to start shrieking. And yes, I’m daamn near convinced the 19TH Amendment needs serious review. And NO, I’m not “sorry”.
We’re going bankrupt as a country…. since we have to work for the printed cash which is heavily taxed at multiple levels. (over 50% in some cases….) At the same time… the Money Printers, their crooked politicians and donors are getting filthy Rich pulling the cash (printing in this case) out of their A$$. That is the main point here….. Gaetz is on the ball. This money printing is pure Biden style Thievery.
It ain’t Biden, for he is nothing more than a puppet for Obama and his ilk. American haters and racists at work…look not behind the curtains for they have moved to the wings, ready to abandon ship when their master gives the order.
The people on the “finance shows” don’t seem to be aware of this problem! Why don’t any of them raise holy hell about all the money being sent to Ukraine? I can’t see that any of them are worth the time to listen to, they are all on board with ESG, DEI and sending military equipment and billions of American taxpayer money to Ukraine – what good are they? How can you expect any of them to dispense truly savvy investment advice when they sidestep all these 800-pound gorillas squeezed into the room (btw, I think I read that today is International Gorilla Day . . . or was that yesterday).
The Ukrainian people are seemingly unaware that their country has been sold from beneath their feet!
Their current debt to America will allow the USA to rage against Russia from within Ukraine forever, unless Putin stops them. Look at the BlackRock contracts, the Clinton Foundation presence, and MIC. They are rolling in billions of dollars whilst thinking were sh*t, and using American sons and daughters to achieve it!
the finance shows are mostly entertainment also
although a few guests have insightful info and comments
Wow just wow, Marie the traitor with tits.
I love Matt after that, love him.
Not necessary
Doesn’t seem like all that long ago when Mzzz. Bartiromo at least pretended to support conservatives. Good times, they were, good times……
I stand with Matt on this
I’m late to chime in, but that may have been the best takedown of the one world order folks that I have seen in a very long time.
Love ya Matt!
^^^THIS^^^
I am glad to say I live in his district. FL CD 1
Where the rubber meets the road.
Yep, best beaches & best congressman- what’s not to love about living on the Emerald Coast.
Alligators and heat
Don’t forget the giant bugs and that humidity…
His friendshipwith Joel Greenberg?
Weeeeee! He literally waxed her whiskers! Thanks Sundance for the post.
Wow, Matt handles himself very well. He’s polished. The only thing he forgot to mention was how the Republicans initiate these “go-nowhere” investigations in order to fund raise off the indignation they generate.
My indignation is so over the top I no longer have the energy to be any more indignant. I like Gaetz. Not so our RINOs, the 3 Mcs & the GOPe.
Well the cockaroaches are coming out of the woodwork now. Even Chip Roy showed himself to be a fraud and toady for the establishment. Shut the damn government down and then tell them it’s like 2020 and they’re small business owners. And if possible don’t restore their pay down the road. We’d all be better off if the criminals in DC had no funding.
Chip Roy was a real shocker!
I received proof of Chip’s traitorous self in the mail recently. He was blasting Paxton and saying he needs to be removed from office.
Ain’t it nice when the idiots out themselves in such blatant ways?
Chip is a RINO through and through
If he was behaving and speaking like a first class RINO, I’m not the least bit surprised. THAT’s what he is!
Chip Roy does not support President Trump
That should tell you all you need to know about dear old chip
Not a shocker to me! About a month ago, I saw an article by, I believe, the Gateway Pundit on Roy’s attendance of a meeting with an organization that is funded in part by the CCP. I don’t have the link handy – sorry. I was already suspicious of Chip Roy because of other past events but this clinched it. IMO, dam near all of congress – both parties – are on the take.
I have tried many times to let people know that Chip Roy is NOT MAGA! He is, and always has been, ANTI-Trump! PLUS, no matter WHAT his constituents write him, he does exactly as he pleases, and he is only too glad to write you a letter to that effect! DO NOT TRUST CHIP ROY! Chip Roy was politically groomed and supported by Ted Cruz.
I’m thinking Matt Gaetz might be a good VP choice. The US congress needs to be completely fumigated – other than Gaetz, there really arent any others that are worth keeping. There needs to be a scorched earth cleansing and it would be really good to have him viable and in use.
Matt Gaetz should run to replace Ron DeSantis as Florida Governor. Then for president after Trump in 2028.
Matt Gaetz: FBI Director or Attorney General. We need a good “fumigator” in both departments to clean house of rattlesnakes, cockroaches, rats and worms.
Might need to call Devin Nunes out of retirement to fill some voids.
That’s a very good thought.
Kari Lake
He did a great job. He got the last word too. She knew it as she glanced off camera to her right. Bravo Matt!
She didn’t look too happy at the end!
She’s a shrill shrew. Always was. And anyone who thought that Gaetz was a lightweight was wrong.
She knew it didn’t go so well
Saw that. He did, indeed, best her AND have the last word.
Oh, she came back on this morning to deliver “the last word”.
How long can these people live in denial about the pending debt bomb we are facing. $2 trillion just for the interest on the debt, which all of it must be borrowed and that will only get worse since the debt keeps growing. It is time to get a blank sheet of paper, zero out the entire budget and then start listing the programs you are going to keep until you get to $5 trillion and the rest are eliminated. My guess you either stop funding every social program or the military since you need to keep interest on the debit, social security, medicare/medicaid and government pensions.
Whoa there, who we referring to? “These people” know the truth it’s the Americans who hide their heads in the sand.
No, we should hang every last one like wind chimes in front of their appropriate place of business. “Civilized” is a term for conquered. Has nothing to do with “as it should be.”
Our nation should never allow what we have.
I keep hearing “borrowed,” but the more appropriate term is “printed.”
If we are too big to fail, maybe we just default. President Trump has said this very same thing.
The game is already over…. when basic pickup trucks hit $100,000 sticker price….. economically the country is weimar. Especially with the Privileged Govt’ Class and Union class of workers wanting more and more of the pie… when they are already getting more than their fair share for the work being done.
It’s worse than that Sammy. When they got rid of the Ford Ranger (original) type pickups that were backbones for delivery and things for all kinds of businesses. Now if you want a truck you have to start uprange quite a bit. You used to be able to buy 10 trucks for 100 grand brand new, and and you could send them buzzing about all over the place. And then on all the regular trucks they made the bed taller than the average person could work out of it. Just a thing for the older entrepreneurial contingent.
Don’t let white folks or black folks handle the money. Only conservative MAGA orientals and jews can.
Remember the big fuss on this site when Maria made a big display of her cleavage at the “Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner” in 2016?
Remember her white gloves, and how attached she was to her phone? I thought it was disrespectful and tacky, but she gained major sycophants here.
Surely some of you remember.
Hopefully, we can all gain some perspective.
Agree with you. It also looks like she’s lost some cleavage since then…
No question. She pulled off the opera gloves much better than Casey did. Matter of fact, I don’t remember a single negative comment from that event. Maria stole the show with those opera gloves. Let’s not forget the attack that President Trump put on Hillary during his speech.
Gloves? I didn’t see no gloves.
it makes me sad to see Maria arguing points like a bias democrat. Very Sad
Yet we knew this.
There you go!
I forgot about those earrings!
she also lost some “support” (LOL)
Good job Matt.
McCarthy did not out the weaponization of the government. He got caught and still thinks he is hiding. McCarthy and RINOs are still complicit. The American people, as Matt is representing — want action, punishment, eradication of swamp government stealing and deceiving its citizens, selling national property and interests for their own gain. The people don’t need to be talked about in a Kabuki theater that is useless, they need to be neutered and out of government and out of power.
I trust Trump, but still wonder why he supported McCarthy– I hope we get something from him
What we are witnessing in this interview is a war between MAGA/Freedom and Swamp Washington and a takeover of our blessed nation by the WEF
To expose McCarthy
That makes sense: PDJT saying, “Get out there and lead them — we’ll be calculating your values based on your tracks, and your actual accomplishments, and effectiveness”
Well President Trump’s scathing TS post yesterday advocates dumping both Mitch and Kevin. Matt is moving that plan along nicely.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/111117112250924380
All Americans are bad including me.
Now this is a politician I can get behind. Next to President Trump, he may be the only politician I can say that about.
Matt, go get em!!
The truth flows from your mouth Matt, and Bartiromo knows it. She just labeled herself an enemy of the people.
Trust no one completely, but he has been consistent lately.
Im trying to think of things where the repubs have the upper hand.
……………….
………………

I got nothing.
We have Trump. That’s probably enough
Rock,
As we all know, President Trump is NOT a Republican. That term carries so much anti-heritage American baggage and now represents only GOPe-globalists.
We are waiting for Trump to form a new party for us MAGAdonians.
America First. You can apply, but the entrance criteria are stringent. There are only 21 in the House I would admit:
1. Banks, Jim
2. Biggs, Andy
3. Bishop, Dan
4. Boebert, Lauren
5. Brecheen, Josh
6. Cloud, Michael
7. Clyde, Andrew
8. Comer, James
9. Crane, Elijah
10. Gaetz, Matt
11. Good, Robert
12. Gosar, Paul
13. Hageman, Harriet
14. Harris, Andy
15. Jackson, Ronny
16. Luna, Anna
17. Mast, Brian
18. Norman, Ralph
19. Ogles, Andy
20. Rosendale, Matthew
21. Self, Keith
Six in the Senate:
Mike Lee is NOT and never has been America First. He’s been schilling for the tech companies in Utah to flood the state with H1B visa holders.
he’s another one that talks a decent game but is nothing but a backstabbing clown.
ZERO in the Senate, OTHERWISE Trump would have had the courtesy of Recess appointments.
How many Senators does it take to call a recess?
That was before JD Vance
Pretty sad isn’t it. Selling out America is very intoxicating indeed
No Clay Higgins?
Yes, Higgins
I agree! Clay Higgins!
Ralph Norman is an absolute no- he is aligned perfectly with the rest of the SC elites- Mace, Graham, Haley, and Scott.
Big Big No to Mike Lee.
Recall the absolute freak out he had on the senate floor as he tried desperately to keep Trump from becoming the nominee in 2016? I do. Won’t ever forget it either.
IF we can get fair elections.
Sad moments. I always loved watching Maria. And I always thought Jim Jordon was one of the good ones. But to see them both carry water for Kevin the rat McCarthy can’t be unseen.
The pearl clutching directed at Matt Gaetz for simply holding people to their promises seems like genuine bewilderment.
“Setting up a committee is an end unto itself only in Washington”….. Definitely my new favorite quote from Matt Gaetz.
Real obvious now that you mention it. Didn’t catch it when I 1st saw vid.
Gatz was exceptional in his debate of her “arguments”.
He is all over it, poised eloquent knowledgeable and unflappable…Sundance are you Matt Gaetz?
Matt Gaetz scored !!!🇺🇸
He put the information;
the facts,
out there
-loud and clear.
Maria Bartiromo failed
at her blatant defense
of the unit-party’s corruption;
lead by the current shameless, lying speaker of the house
-regardless
of her repeated interruptions,
accusations against Matt Gaetz,
dismissivness
and attempts to change the subject.
🇺🇸🇺🇸-Well done, Matt ❣️
It’s past time for Gaetz to put in the motion to vacate McCarthy as speaker. Wonder what he is waiting for.
If he does, everything will be set up for some RINO to play Ryan to McCarthy’s Boehner.
No, the right thing to do is to keep McCarthy’s nuts in the vise and giving it a quarter turn ever so often.
Just a quarter? Are you sure?
love your comment!
There’s nobody to replace McCarthy. I think Gaetz even said he’s not running himself because he would never get the votes
The Sunday traipsing of teary-eyed RINOS to Mama Bartiromo’s show was pure canned UniParty. Among the traipsers were Gowdy and Chaffetz, both onto Fox commentator gigs. Jordan was a regular too. They would wring their hands over how the Dems were thwarting their every move sob sob. Maria would commiserate. All Gridlock-Kayfabe Theatah.
Goetz is playing the Long POTUS Game. He’s betting the Deep State will falter if not fail, making him a prescient, early voice calling for its demise. Good on him.
But sounds like you still call him a politician betting on where the wind will blow, rather than operating off Constitutional and universal principles of character.
Do you think strategy is a bad thing, Country? Haven’t we seen enough Blockheads talking about muh Constitution and muh principles. Looks like he’s playing to win to me. And that’s refreshing to see.
Not intending to dis’ full spectrum or Matt.
Constitution and principles matter.
Strategy matters.
Cool. We’re on the same page.
I hear you CountryDoc. Gaetz is a politician at the end of the day. But if he harnesses himself in the right direction, we might get a post-Trump MAGA field or two plowed.
Politics wants to be a higher calling except it’s stacked with too many politicians.
Who is still watching Fox? Sheesh
Those still wanting to see what the enemy is teaching.
Our enemy is dividing us into silos. The less we are aware of what our fellow citizens are seeing, the more they can triangulate us and pit us against each other.
Do you get to know even your teenager’s bad friends, or the people you don’t trust who are influencing your family? Or do you cancel them and ridicule your family for having them as friends.
Stay aware of everything. Then you are in a position to speak with knowledge about why your friends and family are being deceived, and you can speak with authority.
Matt is effective, because he knows what the enemy is thinking. He knows what the enemy is telling the rest of us, and he is prepared with effective comebacks.
I get tired of those of us who take the know it all approach of “I don’t watch Fox, or MSNBC”. You better get aware of what your teachers are telling your kids and grandkids. Your children’s teachers, your family, your neighbors are all being told lies to counter your beliefs and they are effective because they know what you believe.
Satan deceived Eve and then Adam because he know what God told them.
I only watch the bits that appear up here. Fortunately, SD digs through the muck for the pearls of rank hypocrisy.
Et Tu Maria?
Oh, now that is a smart comment…well done!
Maria was obnoxious to Matt Gaetz.When she interviewed Mark Levin 30 minutes later he was worse. Those two sell out the country for RINO McCarthy. Gatez was brilliant and should be speaker.
Yes, Speaker.
Not VP – he has the fire and the passion to clean up the stables.
Sundance, I thought you were a bit over the top when I read “I will bet you a donut Kevin McCarthy was texting her in real time with instructions on what to say to Matt Gaetz.”
But after watching it… yep. She didn’t memorize all those talking points!
Of course, maybe newsies can just download an app to get direct feed from ChatGOP.
Wow. Very painful to watch. I thought highly of Maria…………..operative word “thought.”
I couldn’t quite figure out why she was still there……………..it is apparent now.
Very disappointing. I now understand more fully why Matt is under constant attack. Thank you Matt. WEll done.
“Silence in the face of evil, is itself evil.”
I’d like to know who her cell provider is that has such snappy texting. Out here in the sticks, 1-5 minute intervals are not uncommon.
All you have to see is the way that she continually blinks when she knows she is carrying water for the GOPe and The D.C. Machine. I like her, but money talks, and it speaks loudly. Can’t wait to read her book.
America is dying because of the corporate takeover of media. Propaganda is a powerful tool. And the media is loaded with tools.
Matt Gaetz came out with both guns blazing. Matin let him make his points, so I am grateful to her.
I do give her credit that she let him have a lot of time. I still think she is a good interviewer, but she is clearly opposing Matt and giving him a hard time. Its obvious Matt lives and breaths and sleeps with these issues and was well prepared, fast and intelligent and organized with his responses. Very effective.
So is Maria — it is just clear she has an agenda to oppose him. Matt on the other hand had responses that support what the people want. And he made his point clearly: McCarthy is making a lot of noise, but no action, supporting Sundance’s assertion that the politicians are all about theater, and not really caring for the issues of Americans.
Ah I’m gathering Jordan is sort of caving too as inferred by Gaetz here at the top. I told Jordan via one if his fundraising appeals to shove it and his incrementalism. I’m sure he pored over it, stricken lol. Sorry. Jordan’s a show pony too.
One of the stratagems is to make the border so onerous that it CAN sweep the other issues off the table, then offer up yet another border band-aid solution, which NYCs mayor will happily accept.
As to that border, think of cancer cells entering your body…when you discover them what do you ask your doctor first?
Bingo RJ. How long does America have to live?
Gaetz is very quick on his feet – sharp points and replies to Maria’s hysterics.
Sad but also good to see that Maria has finally dropped the mask. She seemed like one of the last good ones, but now we all know better.
Bravo Matt Gaetz on a epic smackdown!
God bless Matt Gaetz!
That was rather rude of her!
I recall an intelligent and very busy guy who was annoyed with a would-be client (for civil engineering/ land surveying work) . . .this person was pestering the engineer/surveyor for an immediate appointment to discuss a very important project. . . but then the client kept looking down at his Blackberry, thumbs moving rapidly. That lasted like 2 seconds and the fellow was told “Look, I am really busy and if you are not going to give this appointment that you wanted your full attention, then I’m done here” . . . and he walked out of the conference room.
I grew up around engineers in my family and have had the privilege of working with them (electrical, civil, mechanical) . . .engineers are a special breed of cat and I think we need more of them around than the overblown and overrated Bartiromo, Cramer and that Kevin guy also who is on Shark Tank and got mixed up with the FTX guy – I mean, how smart are they, really?
I recall Ms. Bartiromo at the Al Smith Dinner where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appeared during the 2016 Presidential campaign . . . she had her usual smoky eye makeup, framed by her streaky mane of hair, was wearing a red dress which set off her cleavage and long white gloves which brought attention to her gold phone which she looked down at and then sometimes smiled, Sphinx-like.
So Fox is still on the air? I hadn’t noticed.
Maria, your slip is showing.
When President Trump couldn’t get anyone else approved I’ll bet this was his plan with Gaetz all along.
Let Kevin expose himself for how corrupt he is then have Matt take him down and blow the whole rino machine in congress up.
President Trump knew who McCarthy was all along.
Our president is a great chess player.
We got a twofer by taking Maria down at the same time.
Go Trump!!
l
Gaetz holds his own against the very emotional onslaught of Ms. Bartiromo.
one thing that Matt Gaetz and President Trump have in common:
both have been attacked mercilessly with manufactured allegations of wrong doing. Over and over and over.
and when you realize WHY…the Epiphany is shocking: these two men actually have principles that do not allow them to look the other way.
I admire Matt Gaetz. He identifies as an American Patriot..and less of the so-called republican party. Very intelligent man. Always prepared.
Relevant to the Russell Brand allegations, remember how they tried to accuse Gaetz of sex trafficking because he’s a thorn in their side, same as Brand, same as Trump, same as Assange, same as Kavanaugh, same as Roy Moore, same as a whole bunch of people.
There’s even a commonly held theory that Bill Cosby got exposed because he used his platform to tell black people to stop being ignorant, pull their pants up and speak properly
Governor Gaetz getting it done!
noting: one of the REASONS that a government budget stall gives corporations night terrors?
answer: corporations and multinational global powers depend solidly on the MASSIVE SLICE OF THE US GDP that the federal government occupies. It means contracts and spending from the administrative state contracts.
IT’S MONEY. simple as that.
also noting: main stream media is NOT JOURNALISM. The business model is essentially SELLING CORPORATE INTEREST.
I only just now watched the video. I have never seen Maria B so unattractive. She was shreeking through the entire segment.
Methinks thou dost protest too much. (She must have gotten her marching orders early this morning.)
Yes, Matt talking about all the Kabuki, like when Trey the hairdoo Gowdy, feigned anger and disgust questioning Killary on her role in the Benghazi debacle.
But of course nothing happened after the hearings. Same as Fast and Furious, Lois Lerner of IRS fame, etc.
Repubs really showed them.
I like Maria Baritromo, generally. She was dead wrong, here, but she did let Gaetz speak and get his point out, which is better than most interviewers would have done. Bartiromo was wrong, but fair, which ain’t bad.
What I really find interesting is that neither of them said one word about the ridiculous fact that McCarthy let the House run off on vacation, right when this government is in so much trouble and there is so much real work to do. I was bitching about that all summer and really could not believe that McCarthy let the House shut down so that members could go home and do … whatever, when we are really in an extraordinary and sensitive position. McCarthy was acting like he was French, or something. Anyway, I find it maddeningly annoying that neither one of them mentioned that McCarthy shut down business for a month and a half (which was a crime, really) and now people are running around screaming that there’s no time left to do “the right thing”.
The feral government should be shut down. Let it lay idle for a little while. It is a dangerous and destructive force in society, today. It shuts down every week for two days so I don’t think that anyone should make too big of a deal about it. It is what it is. It’s more important to try and get this feral government under control and to stop the traitors in the Executive branch, the Senate, and all around the judiciary for a bit. Shut it down and let them squeal.
I didn’t know it was Maria’s job to argue with her guests.
I turned my volume down to almost zero and her screeching was still unbearable. I have always loathed this woman. She is just nasty. And what is up w/her hairline?
Good job Matt for battling the hagfish. I thought he was a member of the Freedom Caucus, why isn’t he? Learn something new every day.
All I know is that Ford was on the Warren Commission, and somehow became President without one vote. The Magic Bullet and Watergate.
Huh…
I watched that interview. They, as in the media, Democrats and uni party don’t quite know how to handle Matt.
It’s nice to see someone being a thorn in the side of Washington, Incorporated
I didn’t know Marie was against us. What does that Council do again, Sundance, that she’s a member of? So is she stupid or just a rat?
She’s shrill and hysterical almost to the point of panic. WTF has happened to her. Someone got to her
