This is deep weeds inside baseball, but boy howdy does it tell a story. Representative Matt Gaetz (MAGA, FL) goes through the details of yesterday’s House republican conference assembly as they select a Speaker nominee.
What Gaetz reveals in detail is how Kevin McCarthy has been working the conference to undermine any other Speaker candidate so that McCarthy would be renominated as the only possible alternative. The insight and details are really interesting. This is a must watch.
.
I want to know why Geatz voted for Emmer.
I suspect his gut told him Emmer was not going make it.
I got the impression he was handling Emmer.
Based on this interview it was likely to make clear to everyone that he (Gaetz) was not the roadblock to getting a new speaker but rather it was McCarthy sabotaging the chances of others.
Yes and I remember Gaetz mentioning that he worked with Emmer to get out early, once he knew he could not make it. And I am sure Gaetz voting for him was to help make that happen. Gaetz knew that Emmer was never going to make it.
Yes! He knew Emmer was never gonna make it!
I think if you follow what he says Emmer was never going to get it but gave him his shot.
Gaetz may have made a deal to vote for Emmer, give him his shot at the speaker job, if they would then vote for Johnson. Gaetz
made a lot of enemies by zapping McCarthy and maybe he had to dance with the devil here. Gaetz may have known his vote wouldn’t get Emmer over the top.
Pretty incredible. The status quo is dead. Let’s see what they do with it.
Ending US involvement in Ukraine. No money for Hamas. Cut the DOJ’s budget in a way that causes them literal, physical, pain.
Cut it six ways from Sunday.😎
Really very brilliant!!!!
I agree! Great comment from A.G.
Close the damn border.
What happened you ask?
“the sad hopes of a desperate man trying to cling to power were vanquished.”
Please God, don’t let this be Anger Mgmt.
Johnson will need our prayers. You know the gates of hell will be arrayed against him.
some thing to consider…the ladder of success..how leadership happens THROUGHOUT GOVERNMENT:
Mike Johnson achieves the agenda items of MAGA/America First.
these are: single bill voting, debate clause restored, no more CR/OMNIpork, solve the national debt by downsizing federal government, abolish 702/USA FREEDOM act.
President Trump is elected as President of the United States, restored back to his proper place as our elected President.
Vice President is Matt Gaetz …or Devin Nunes. (these are the two who have the energy and the focus and proven to be fighters for the right causes).
President Trump selects MIKE JOHNSON AS SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE! Sydney Powell as assistance/deputy Secretary! If
President Trump selects LTGEN Flynn as Director, FBI.
President Trump selects Kash Patel as Secretary Homeland Defense
President Trump selects Peter Navarro as his economic advisor
President Trump selects SUNDANCE as his personal close advisor.
God Bless America
And,
God bless you Regitiger!!!
Where have you been?
I look for you every day. Your comments are so good, so insightful.
I’m here. always have been. Reading, researching…and working with every single representative and senator that will listen about how to kill the 702/usa freedom act.
that has been my single priority for this entire year…so please just know I’m still here and I read every single article that sundance produces and almost nearly every comment made. It helps me to relax KNOWING that good men and women in this nation and globe are still focused on really important matters that will have long lasting effects that our children and their children will either.
love us for doing the work and duplicate the effort..because it’s always vigilance against evil and corruption.
or they will renounce our generation as just a bunch of whiners but never put anything on the table to risk.
I just decided this is my year to make my intentions known and I’ve put everything I have into the effort to get congress to destroy the secret police spy state powers. If successful, we can avoid a real kinetic revolution…That’s the goal..that is what is at stake. I know it…they know it..everyone that looks closely where this ends knows it. We need to remove these powers and force the corrupt people to become CRIMINALS AND SUBJECT TO PUNISHMENT if they continue. Because that is the only way forward. I’ve burned the ship behind. There is no going back for me.
and if congress can’t get it together to understand this threat and remove it as a national security priority.
then it will have to come by force…
stage 4- revolution: transfer of power. The pain will continue before THE PEOPLE act. But when they do…everything changes. I just pray we have the best leaders in position and a organized resolve about what it is that we intend to achieve. I’m happy just delimiting federal power and stopping the CIA AND FBI, HOMELAND DEFENSE, AND DOD from spying on US CITIZENS. That is the goal. That is my promise to my child.
God Bless America
awesome promise!
When the government followed the law, they still scooped the data, they just did not let everyone and their brother view it AND they did not use it as a weapon against the people for political purposes. I don’t know how or if we can get back to that place. The surveillance will be helpful in tracking down the illegals for expulsion.
I personally believe that the DNC knows where every illegal is, to be activated at election time. Or other nefarious things.
A lot of them TIN from IRS, our government knows full well where they are.
Facial recognition, they used it to track down all the conservatives from the so called insurrection,
even some that weren’t.
Thank you regitiger as I was of unaware of the 2015 change. I will be reading all material related to 702/USA. In 2015 I was fed up with BAU but hadn’t even discovered the Treehouse yet. I cut away from this thread to read a few paragraphs of one article from the ACLU and laughed when I saw that the Turtle and many GOPe wanted to extend the PA with no changes. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks regitiger!
So we have another national treasure.
Our true national treasure’s are people like you,
Dutchman and Sundance.
Amen,it’s great to know people are out there fighting!
Sounds like a plan
Can VP be from the same State as President?
Yes. There is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting it. It was done as a matter of convenience.
No.
they can…. but usually they pick someone from another state to hopefully pick up that state too…
Stellar plan!
I want Gaetz to be the next Governor of Florida. 2 terms of a Governor Gaetz will ensure Florida stays red for decades.
I like that plan better than him as VP. Governor Gaetz would suit me to a tee.
I prefer Nunes for VP, Gaetz is major alpha, Nunes has a better temperament to follow Trump’s plans.
Yes, Matt really likes being in the fight, not VP material.
Yes, and his analytic mind is proving just how effective he is as a ‘fighter’.
Gaetz did three extraordinary things that not a single other member could have pulled off (1) negotiating and winning the right to make a motion to vacate the McCarthy speakership if and when certain conditions failed to be fulfilled (who else could have pulled that off?) (2) having the guts and the calm, cool demeanor to actually make a motion to vacate McCarthy while withstanding the heavy pounding of rockets and missiles aimed at him for doing so (3) guiding and curating (within a highly fractious conference) a triumphant, unanimous vote for a universally admired colleague who was, at the same time, a true-blue, America First Speaker of the House.
I’d say that Matt just put his stamp on history.
Yeah, DeSantis really screwed it for Pubbies in FL.
He could/would be better as a Governor than a VP. (imho)
Govt of our dreams! I pray it becomes a reality! Glimmers of hope are rising! Yeah God!
Excellent.
We need Larry Kudlow in the economic arena too…. he’s on a radio show in my area every Saturday…. he’s a good man. And praises Trump every show..
Agreed. Kudlow is well versed in economics & would do an excellent job.
I want to know the names of the 43 Republicans who backed McCarthy in the secret vote, but did not publicly back him.
I want to know if two slimy representatives from my state were part of the 43. I’m calling their offices tomorrow and asking. The answers should be interesting.
when “we” speak of “pelosi rules” understand what this really means.
mccarthy acted as pelosi 2.0. it’s the hidden hand that moves the rules…the speaker HAD that power.
that power should have never been shifted to the speaker.
but over time, this is exactly how concentrated corrupt power TOOK OVER CONGRESS…
see it’s the parliamentary rules…the status quo enforces these distortions..
today, the trillion dollar question got answered!
hey, what happens if we just decide to vote on a poll and NOT OBEY PELOSI/MCCARTHY RULES?
huh.
you see how very simple it really is.
sometime just decides to stand up and say, nope..we are going to do it different.
and people like mccarthy just loses their minds…it’s kryptonite to them. they have power because no one stand up and advances NEW IDEAS! see how very simple this is?
now…lets see what happens when the same kind of shakeup happens in the senate? are you ready for that to happen?
because I will tell you this…when the senate old guard gets humbled BY NEW LEADERS who simply stand up and ask simple questions and advance NEW IDEAS…the world changes…and not just politics in DC.
understand this.
STAGE 4 Revolution: THE TRANSFER OF POWER.
it’s happening. it’s still going to get very ugly and you must be prepared, but this is revolution and it is televised.
embrace it.
God Bless America
I am ready.
Bring on that ugly change.
Ugly change for the better.
We’ve had 5 yr old children running wild in dirty diapers stinking up the place. Now we hose them and the floors down and keep it all hosed down to stop things from going back to the status quo.
At the same time we move on from hall of power to hall of power.
Every business in America pushes this BS line to their staff about “we’ve got to get away from ‘That’s the way we’ve always done it'” but only the successful accomplish it-it’s high time that applies to our legislative branch.
Dang! I love it!!!!!
Unfreakin believable.
I love Matt Gaetz
What’s going on in Maine?

Maybe this will be the beginning of MAGA in Congress. An amazingly informative interview.
So this is the first win for Maga/tea party against the swamp?
No surprises here. Once a UniParty weasel, always a UniParty weasel.
It’s quite telling that McCarthy “simply assumed” that no one could be Speaker besides him …
I assumed when McCarthy resigned so quickly he thought MAGA would create chaos and be incompetent and he’d be asked to step back in. So transparent.
A lot of us are newer to the game of politics, but we are more creative and have more ingenuity then our so called elites. We learn quickly, and we don’t give up.
The CIA is also in need of being cleaned out and reorganized from the top to the bottom.
It needs to be abolished.
McCarthy is a BLOODY SNAKE. I wonder if Frank Lunz is his adviser?
And even more I wonder WHO is paying his off?
He’s always been an establishment man, he would always pick his pockets over the people.
Great day finally some good news
Standard operation procedure in Washington DC…
Looks like House Republicans agreed to change the rules in order to “elect” the Speaker they wanted.
It’s the way things get done in our Red-Blue uni-party democracy.
It’s all good because “OUR” UNI-PARTY CANDIDATE WON.
I’m taking bets on how long it will be before McCarthy announces he will not seek re-election, wanting to spend more time with his family in California. I say by next Spring, to be followed by an announcement that he is joining some big firm as a lobbyist.
Congrats to Matt, good job and thank you. I do hope we do get to see what a real House being run properly on behalf of the American people looks like. I also hope Matt can catch up on some Zzzz’s this weekend.
I’m so happy to be rid of the weasel, backstabbing McCarthy. But then I was afraid we were stuck with Emmer, who would have been worse for the party. But then a magnitude of prayers came flooding through and brought with them an amazingly wonderful speaker designate. Now there is peace throughout this nation that we are united behind someone God entrusted to us for the purpose of leading through this storm back to the shining city on the hill.
Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall when The Botoxed Biddy By The Bay hauls McCarthy into her office to blast him for losing her control of the House? Let’s face it; Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy were her stooges. Thanks to them and the 5th Column RINO Caucus she’s been the de facto Speaker for 16 years now.
There’s also this video Rep. Gaetz posted to his TS account with snippets of Mike Johnson in action:

Thank you Lord for Matt Gaetz.
MAGA
That, unlike Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson is straight, a family man, and uncompromised doesn’t hurt his chances at success in his new role. Good for him.

Are there any politicians left in the big sewer that aren’t completely tainted?
