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.
.
New Speaker. If any Republican or Democrat votes $1.00 friggen dollar in “foriegn aid” they are traitors and that’s how I will refer to them. WE ARE BROKE!
That includes both Israel and Hamas plus Ukraine. If you keep giving their leaders billions of dollars they will keep fighting until they draw the United States into their conflict!
Stop the money and the fighting stops. They will find a way to sort their differences out. Nobody ever gave us money to fight our wars.
Sorry Joe but one point needs to be resolved and if it takes some support from the US that’s ok by me. Biden’s protection of Hamas needs to end and whatever the US can do to support and allow Israel to crush and eliminate Hamas forever will go a long way in creating stability in the Middle East. That and the defunding of the Urkraine mess will allow to the US to focus on some actual threats (ie China and the such).
Agree, $ AGAINST Hamas, as I don’t see Russian terrorists raping, killing and terrorizing all over the world and having reason to take advantage of their buddy Biden opening our borders for them to do it here.
Foreign aid is arguably unconstitutional to begin with.
It’s not just foreign aid. Not even close. Past this, it should be in everyone’s face that the Heartland save for about 18-20 between the HoR and senate who in varying degrees hate us. Most simply can’t get to this realization, but relatively soon they will. Those who append their surnames with “-R (XX-##)” have now blown half the term with nothing read zero to show for it. Worse yet, not one of them possesses neither the competence let alone skills to conduct investigations as reflected by their complete inability to issue subpoenas despite a target rich environment including sedition, treason. Congressional subpoenas are not contingent of Rik Garland’s approval nor his armed jackboot proxy fbi. Next Nov. they’ll likely lose the house and senate again due to the very best “thinking” of an “electorate” with an abundance of low-info DOPES. By then the past 7 years and prior decades before will be referred to as the “good old days”. The worst is yet to come – especially for those who sat around on their fat slovenly ignorant dead asses subsidizing their own demise with whatever dotGov sells them.
Johnson said the first thing is to give Israel money. Then Biden will give that money to Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists through Qatar AGAIN and continue to destroy America.
The uniparty/media will say see we’re helping Israel and America.
Pure evil.
Huh? Haven’t we’ve been giving Israel billions every year?
WTF have they done with our money that they can’t defend themselves against a thousand Palestinians on homemade paragliders? There was a deliberate seven hour stand down order after the attack began and no Israeli military response. Are we supposed to reward Israel for this?
There are STILL too many questions that remain unanswered about this whole thing. No money.
I didn’t hear him say “give Israel money”. I heard him say “support Israel”. So… Needs clarification.
Agreed but Ukraine & Israel might as well be U.S. territory because they are hard wired in to the national budget no matter how broke we may be.
A huge thank you to Matt Gaetz who was the force behind it.
I pray that Mike Johnson and Matt Gaetz continue to stand for the people and against the administrative state. In Jesus name. Amen.
Amen.
Yeah that just went down the crapper. That P.O.S. dosnt even have the gavel in his hand and he’s talking “aid to Isreal”. That means billions. That means borrowing and printing money. That means your kids/ grandkids are on the hook for it. They are going to be serfs to thire Chinese occupiers.
It’s ok, they’ll just reduce Social Security and Medicare benefits. /s
Medicare has 17% of its outlay funded while Social Security has only 17% unfunded.
Medicare is the problem, not Social Security.
BS. Social security funds were transferred as IOU’s years ago.
Medicare and Social Security are still funded by taxpayers with each paycheck
Also, Medicare may be a reduced price, but seniors still have to pay
monthly out of their social security check along with paying for
supplemental health insurance and prescription drug insurance
which doesn’t pay for the meds unless they are generic.
Medicare was never intended to cover everything, and SS was intended to just keep seniors out of dire poverty, as in a room in a boarding house with utilities and 2-3 meals/day, money for the bus, and library card for fun.
It was never intended to provide for a middle-class retirement. And it was always to be supplemented with personal savings. But many seniors today expect more than it was ever intended to be.
Whatever the government does with the money does not change the fact that Social Security has been paid for by its recipients.
Medicaid is the problem
Particularly when it is given to aliens. See these non-English speakers in the Doc’s offices every time we go there. Always with some kind enabler.
No, they’re both problems. The SS “lockbox” was raided by LBJ in 1968, and the “surplus” was taken by Congress every year since then, until the surplus ran out in 2010.
And that was the year that the Obama ARRA/Stimulus was illegally added into the baseline budget, and we haven’t had a budget since. Very clever.
In the lockbox are now “special purpose bonds”, which can only be used to fund SS, but which have to be sold to get money to make payments to us oldies. We are screwed.
He said “support Israel”. Didn’t hear anything about money.
If Matt Gaetz is enthusiastic, I’m enthusiastic. This looks like Providence. Keep praying.
Keep praying is right!!!!
I am tempered in my reaction , but I have always liked Mike Johnson’s talking points. Please, God, we need more warriors who ain’t in it for the bucks. 💲💲💲
God and country! 💕🇺🇲🙏
Now the hard work of budgeting begins. The Budget Act of 1974 is law. Let’s pass some appropriations bills!
4.5 in and 7 out is not sustainable.
The Dem/MSM’s knives are coming out right now to smear and belittle Speaker Johnson for being an “election denier, who opposes abortion rights and is a MAGA Extremest”, per Mark Halperin on Newsmax TV quoting from his email inbox.
Halperin said they couldn’t even wait 20 minutes to start Hissing and Snarling at Speaker Johnson.
Let’em scream,….’I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning’,… Surf’s Up, Speaker Johnson, now go ride the Wave.
Demons always hiss and snarl at righteousness.
Johnson needs to not be magnanimous in victory. He needs to crush the sewer rats while he has a chance.
He needs to re-allocate the campaign funds from sewer rats to Americans. He needs to be very wary of the McFail gang. Do not reach out to them “for the good of the party”.
If he can be a warrior in that way, then the current optimism may be justified.
He won’t be perfect, because he has isht to work with both within and without his party.
How ’bout,….Immediately bring a Motion to the House Floor (a Bill) to Cut The Funding to the Weaponized Marxist Fed Agencies who now hate and attack America.
Right. Until the members of the DOJ, FBI and CIA who were part of the coup against a sitting President of the United States of America are brought up on charges of TREASON; there will be NO FUNDING FOR THE DOJ OR THE INTEL COMMUNITY. ZERO!!!
Of course that would take a man of character and grit. I don’t think we make those in politics anymore.
Don’t forget the EPA, FDA and USDA on that list…
Regretfully, it appears you’ve forgotten legislators don’t write bills. Lawyers and Lobbyists do that work. There’s nobody in the GOP or K Street that would write that one up.

Seem to be starting off the right way..
dunno.. I am afraid to have any hope, at this point.
Expect the worst
hope for the least
and you won’t be disappointed.
Sad but that is my mental defense now.

Gaetz/Johnson or Johnson/Gaetz as a future Presidential ticket is causing a tingling sensation to run down my fat right leg.
I am glad it’s not my left leg because I hate everything “left”. The only thing I have ever done left-handed is swing a baseball bat. Good thing I am too old now to play the sport.
We need Gaetz to be our governor here in Florida, help get that stench of the last few we’ve had out of Tallahassee.
Shades of Chris Matthews …
I am hoping beyond hope that this story is accurate.
Laura Loomer isn’t buying it.
https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1717011940952678833?s=46&t=ifsONrlhRnteMorUUXj8oQ
In case you can’t see the tweet, this is what it reads:
“You voted for Tom Emmer today @mattgaetz. You are so full of shit.
Nice to know you want @RepMikeJohnson as Speaker when he thinks @SpeakerPelosi is a “good person and not the enemy” in his own words.
So her J6 committee and efforts to jail Trump make her a good person? Really? She’s a “good person” after ripping up Trump’s speech and falsely accusing him of Russian collusion? That’s what you endorse, Matt?
I don’t give a shit if Mike Johnson thinks Nancy is nice. I don’t care about him at all to be honest. I care about someone who is going to be LOYAL TO TRUMP.
We don’t need anymore “go along to get along cowards” like Mike Johnson.
We don’t need or want a Speaker who is “friends” with Nancy Pelosi. We need someone who is RUTHLESS AND LOYAL TO PRESIDENT TRUMP!
You are so fake Matt. It disgusts me.”
What’s up with Loomer?
Who is ‘behind’ Laura Loomer? 🤑
She’s close with Roger Stone and Donald Trump himself.
Ann Coulter
She is fully entitled to speak her mind!
I’m sure I’ve said much worse in private.
Laura Loomer has no discretion whatsoever. She needs to sit down and put a sock in her mouth. She could be so much more respected if she had even an ounce of poise and wisdom.
Sorry to see Laura start down the Ann Coulter Garden Path…
I hope she calms down and gets some common sense.
In Loomer’s video,… Johnson: “My role as a Conservative is not to launch grenades at the other side and regard them as an enemy,….I think her (Pelosi) ideas are Madness,… I have to build a relationship with (her and others like her) to convince them of the correctness of our arguments, you cant do that unless you have a dialogue!”
That is how Congress works, dialogue and consensus to get Bills and Agendas passed.
naive
I think part of Gaetz’s strategy was to play along to further expose the swamp after hearing this video clip above…
And as he let it play out, Emmer’s eyes were opened as to how much of a snake McCarthy was, so it worked.
Good to know. Thanks for posting this.
On the other hand Johnson worked effectively with President Trump when he was being impeached. I also like it that Johnson is a respected constitutional lawyer. Many issues we face are grounded in the constitution.
It also looks like Johnson was younger in the clip. We all live and learn, so I’m keeping an open mind.
Our country is in a state of great change and change often brings chaos. So many things won’t necessarily seem to be “black or white.”
But change also brings opportunity. We must focus on the opportunity of electing President Trump. We still have that opportunity and we need to make the most of it.
Found in the bin… 🙁
So, McCarthy could have let us have Jim Jordan, which was a very limp noodle MAGA-ish guy, then proceeded to burn through and embarass his Swamp Stable, finally his machinations to create a situation that would put him back in instead gave us Mike Johnson.
Beautiful, Kevin, you flamed out in a most glorious fashion, exploding your last vestiges of credibility in one wonderful ego driven spectacle of self-destruction.
Sounds like the Trump curse worked again!
The God Boomerang.
Would love to hear MTG’s thoughts on McCarthy.
🤬🤮
She’s done whether she knows it or not.
Why do you feel she’s done?
You won’t. She got totally bamboozled by him and she fell for it.
Be sure your sins will find you out. Numbers 32:23
You know, I have had chills running down my back with this development…..a speaker who potentially will be there to do those things to incrementally bring back America.
The chills came when it struck me that all this is part of God’s plan. In 2020, President Trump would have inherited a Congress with Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy, both working together on behalf of the UniParty for their own wealth and self aggrandizement. He would have been stymied at every turn from carrying out any renewal or renovation.
But little by little God, with the help of people who firmly believe in His power and grace, are putting in place the support system for a brilliant return of our president, a president who will now be empowered to act for the people.
Is the Turtle fated to expire before the inauguration of PDJT Forty-Seven?
🤔
No, he will have 2 more years. He was re-elected by the skin of his teeth in 2020, due to the endorsement of President Trump.
I was contemplating a different form of expiration . . . 😁
Heck yes.
Just across the bridge I hope to live long enough to water his grave if his bones aren’t sent back to China.
LOL….I knew what you meant.
Hope not, he needs to suffer more first.
I whist not that we suffer him.
Let God deal with him.
It’s a miracle. Over these years, everybody has needed to witness this covert secret combination of enterprising criminals. Now everybody knows. The end result will work out better for us now.
It’s a foundation of rock that is being built by a much higher authority.
Great way to look at this, I hadn’t considered that yet. Thank you!
Thank you, Matt Gaetz. F*ck you, McCarthy. We now have a MAGA speaker we can be proud of and will stand for the people.
Watch as McCarthy sabotages Johnson at every chance he gets.
But now Johnson knows what McCarthy really is…
…and so does everyone else.
I hate politics.
Not everyone has the stomach for sausage-makin, I guess.
I honestly never heard of Johnson until a few days ago, probably because hes not much a vocal firebrand. Who knows, maybe hes going to be a doer instead of a talker. Walk softly and carry a big stick?…a 12X12 oak beam is needed here.
Great day. Johnson wins and the Phillies and Astros lost.
Hope this is a trend. Would love to hear a republican in Congress say “…you’ll be so tired of us winning that you’ll say Stop! We can’t take it anymore!”
Seeing that Kev Kev moved his crap into the speaker office prematurely, did he get his crap out timely?
Hopefully not.
I wanna see the Sergeant at Arms escorting him out, carrying a cardboard box and a plastic ficus plant!
He seems the type to have a rare orchid (nothing against orchids).
Frank likes orchids…………….
Lol, that would be a pay per view video!
Alas, our wonderful new Speaker for whom I am so grateful, will likely be respectful and give McCarthy ample time to “relocate.”
I imagine if Gaetz were in charge he’d start a kitchen timer and we’d get to view McCarthy double timing it out of there.
If I were a Memer I’d have him dragging his stuff out using a clip from The Jerk!
🙂
LOL!
Prayers Answered; Mysterious Ways. Matt G is much appreciated for this bit of Sunlight.
This is an uphill /up-mountain climb… it’s good that we’re allowed to see clearly now & again that MAGA has the Divine Cosmic Winds at our back.
Praying Gratitude for continuing Divine Favor & Fortification.
Congratulations Mr. Speaker Johnson! Now release the J6 tapes in their entirety.
FIGHT. DON’T BE PUSSIES. FIGHT,
A HUGE thank you to Rep. Mark Molinaro…the power of one man!
Credit where credit due!
Didn’t he vote for Emmer?
Trust but verify
Notice they were all over Gaetz yesterday.
The bush league perfumed RINOs should always realize Gaetz has a whole box of receipts when he hits the hot mic.
He owns them all.
They had a stampede about Gaetz not having a solution nor forward-looking plan. Actually he did and his plan worked perfectly.
Geatz makes me feel we can survive, even hopeful .. Will Pray for his safety along with all other MAGA supporters.. I can’t see the criminals running our nation allowing him and leader like him to continue gaining ground without a nasty false flag attack somewhere down the line..
K Streeters are meeting in Brain-Sessions now to counter this Victory. That, and calling their client Donors for more mulla to do their evil bidding behind the scenes on Capitol Hill.
Expose the Big Ugly! Everyday more and more light needs to shine on the traitors and show them for who they are.
President Donald J. Trump, minutes ago: “I want to congratulate Mike Johnson,… I have known him for a long time,… He is going to make us Very Proud!”
The kid who was conniving to keep me from being elected high school student body president in 1976 was named McCarthy also. LOL
Y’all are celebrating gleefully, but I don’t think this is over.
Of course it’s not over. It’s never over.
That’s why it’s all the more important to enjoy the ride when we hit a fantastic viewpoint.
And Gaetz didn’t have a plan. He just pushed over the applecart, leaving others to fix what he broke. Thst it turned out OK is partly that, and partly a generous helping of blind luck.
You make your own luck cupcake.
And Matt Gaetz knocking over the applecart with a plan or without a plan was the catalyst for revealing the efferey of McCarthy.
May this be the beginning of many great moments for Matt Gaetz and MAGA.
Efferey, perfect!
I think it could be one of the best euphemisms I’ve encountered…
…now that its meaning finally dawned on me after a few minutes of thought!
Well done Matt Gaetz. Hopefully this new speaker you created the opportunity for will do the right things for our nation.
In other words, McCarthy tried to be a Pelosi and couldn’t pull it off. There is no Matt Gaetz in the Democrat caucus!
Great job, Matt.
The unnecessary turmoil ofv the past two weeks are because of a little man conniving to regain power. Certainly that has earned McCarthy an ethics violation to punctuate the evil of the Uniparty of which he belongs. Good riddens.
I hope he’s right about a fighting republican party.
Amen from this Canadian. So happy and hopeful♡
I love how the Democrats could have easily saved McCarthy, but in their rash hatred helped take him down instead, and are now left with Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House directing legislation and committee positions of power. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Oops, I posted on this in the latest post by Sundance. It’s excellent and a must watch.
Thx! I can’t remember whether your link was the one I followed after fruitlessly fast-forwarding through 3 warroom eps… 😆 Mighta been!
I suspected this all along.
Kevin McCarthy is a worthless back stabbing RINO.
Sounds like a great win for the good guys! I hope it works out that way, good job MAGA and Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz is a BADARSE!!! 🤠🤠🤠
I wanna know the names of who left the room on the roll call vote.
Holy cow, my RINO Molinaro did something right! Very surprising. I figured he’d be swallowed up by the DC apparatus by now.
Cliff notes version?
There are many priorities, and the Deep State is hardly going to roll over and just accept constitutional government – perish the thought. But a big test of what to expect from the new power structure in the House is how soon it addresses the funding of this unprecedented and unconstitutional attack on a former (nee, “in Exile”) President. That will be the canary in the coal mine as to how far to get your conservative hopes up. Reign that in, and other dominoes begin to fall.
If Johnson, Gaetz et al do what the MAGA people want perhaps it will be the end of the uniparty for the RINO will definitely get voted out. Both in House and Senate. All it takes is one brave soul to start the dance, the second brave soul to join and the momentum will begin. Let them have the energy that PDJT has, and they get things done quickly taking a page out of the Democrat play book and pass it at midnight Friday night and saying we had to pass the bill to know what was in it. All praise to the Lord Almighty
MTG needs to apologize to America – we NEVER, NEVER, NEVER wanted McCarthy. Biden should have been impeached by now if not for McCarthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need another 434 members just like Matt! The Senate unfortunately completely globalized.
Let’s see if Johnson gives results for conservative voters first. I’m very skeptical with all of them because their allegiance is to their $$$donors.
President Trump isn’t brought and paid for.
Trump 2024
