Speaker 0 discusses the House of Representatives’ vote on defunding the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). He asserts that this measure is not neutral or benevolent but a leftist enterprise, and that while leftists can contribute to it, hardworking Americans shouldn’t be forced to fund causes they find repugnant. He notes that 81 Republican members joined all Democrats to keep funding the enterprise from federal dollars. He emphasizes that while legitimate disagreements exist within the Republican Party, this should not be one of them. He argues that Republicans campaign on the precepts that the US government is too big and expensive and that money should not be taken from Americans to support left-leaning initiatives that undermine the party’s stated goals. He urges listeners to find out how their representative voted and to raise the issue with them. The speaker predicts that some Republicans will blame the outcome on the Senate filibuster, though he contends the Senate filibuster rule should not dictate House outcomes. He warns against what he calls an exaggerated view that nothing could pass the Senate without including that funding, and critiques the idea of relying on the filibuster. He advocates ending the “zombie filibuster,” arguing that filibusters should require debate instead of being conducted silently or while asleep. He calls for enforcing the existing rules of the Senate to require a speaking filibuster and then turning to issues he says Republicans were elected to address. These include reducing federal wasteful spending, ending funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, and passing the SAFE Act, which he claims would ensure that “80% of all Americans” agree with taking steps to stop noncitizens from voting in US elections. In closing, he urges Republicans who were elected under the Republican banner to stay true to their party and avoid switching to another, humorously concluding with “Don’t get on a donkey.” The overall message urges a principled commitment to Republican aims, opposition to funding perceived as left-leaning, and procedural changes to the filibuster to enable legislative action on his preferred agenda.

We're getting close to a number on appropriations, but Democrats are trying to add something new that's never been part of this before. They want to limit the executive branch's ability to do its job, which would tie the President's hands on expenditures. This is a gross separation of powers violation and a terrible precedent. It's a nonstarter for us, and the Democrats know that. So it looks like they're making individual appropriations bills almost impossible. There's more discussion to be had as we near the March 14 deadline. I'm hopeful they'll back off those outrageous demands because they're unprecedented and unconstitutional. The Democrats are likely trying to address the unitary theory of the executive, limiting the executive branch's ability to impound or rescind funds. This is a constitutional fight, and you likely won't get any Democrat votes on this CR. Get ready for a potential government shutdown.

The votes are in: 111 in favor and 364 against. The motion has been rejected. Unlock.

House Republicans have endorsed a key figure behind the electoral college objections, despite criticism. This person led a legal effort, supported by over 100 colleagues, to challenge the 2020 election results. Interestingly, some Republicans initially deemed this strategy a failure, yet they now intend to stand alongside him.

We reached an agreement and made some progress, but a tweet disrupted everything. Imagine the next two years if every time Congress makes a decision, it gets undermined by a tweet or by someone without an official role threatening Republican members with primaries. This situation challenges the institution's responsibility, which is grounded in the separation of powers.

Trump won't agree to step aside and not run again, because he understands the urgency of this moment. Intellectualism and constitutional arguments don't matter anymore; we're beyond that. I voted to prevent the President from reappropriating money for the wall to preserve the constitutional structure of our republic. When serving in the House, don't alienate any members. The House floor is the place to express ideology. I'm a yes. 20 Republicans sided with Democrats and did not sit Adam Schiff, including me. I'm still litigating a federal lawsuit against Pelosi over a salary reduction she imposed on me for refusing to wear a mask. I'm not going to stop defending our democracy. Ron DeSantis will be able to talk about the economy because he didn't shut his down, Trump was urging governors to shut their economies down.

McCarthy deserves credit for devolving power, as he reinstated the motion to remove the speaker of the house. This motion allows any member to call for a vote to remove the speaker, and if 218 people vote in favor, the speaker is removed. Although I don't plan on using this motion, having it in place is important to prevent fear of retaliation for doing what's right.

Non-citizens are not allowed to vote under federal law, but the Biden-Harris administration and some states are undermining this. The SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, was blocked by Democrats in the Senate. The wide-open border, with an estimated 16 million illegal aliens in the country, raises concerns about non-citizen voting. Some house races are decided by very few votes, so illegal participation could be decisive. California's ballot harvesting and Wisconsin's unmanned ballot boxes in public parks are also seen as opening the door to fraud. The speaker believes Republicans will win the House, Senate, and White House.

Democrats lack the power to shut down the government; the party controlling the House, Senate, and White House governs. Democrats can stop bad bills that strip programs from Americans, including veterans, air safety, and food safety. They also aim to prevent a slush fund for Elon Musk and Donald Trump, which could lead to cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security by decimating programs and services. The House, under Hakim Jeffries, voted almost unanimously against the legislation. The Senate Democrats have leverage to reject handing over tools and a slush fund to Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Mike Johnson, as Speaker of the House, forced Republicans to vote on controversial far-left funding items in an omnibus bill without allowing amendments. He violated party rules and rushed the $1.2 trillion bill to a vote, angering many Republicans. This led to backlash and a motion to remove him from his position. Republicans are frustrated with this behavior and want change.

House Republicans will continue to push the Save Act, which aims to ensure legal and constitutional elections. Republicans claim nearly every Democrat opposes the Save Act and wants "illegals" to vote. They intend to include secure elections as part of government funding discussions. Republicans will fight for this principle along with border security. Chuck Schumer has failed to put anything on the floor to ensure only legal American citizens are able to vote and has refused to pass HR 2, the Secure the Border Act, to return to Trump's border policies. Kamala Harris owns the economic, national security, and humanitarian open border crisis that her policies created.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to allow Donald Trump to deport US citizens. Every single Republican voted in favor. The speaker expresses disbelief, stating they never thought they would see this happen. The speaker emphasizes that this is not about deporting unlawful violent immigrants, but about deporting US citizens.

We just voted for Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Before that, I expressed my refusal to support the rules package due to concerning language from Nancy Pelosi's Congress. The Democrats had established an office of diversity and inclusion and included gender-inclusive language that removed traditional family terms like father, mother, son, and daughter, replacing them with neutral terms. I demanded changes, and I'm pleased to announce that the language has been revised. The office of diversity and inclusion has been eliminated, and traditional family terms have been restored in the rules. Republicans are committed to upholding traditional family values, and we will ensure that biological men are not allowed in women's private spaces. We'll share the updated language for your review.

Republicans' nihilism has brought the country to the brink of a government shutdown at midnight unless Congress acts. Democrats offered to fund the government for another month, but Republicans rejected this because Donald Trump wants full control over government spending. The choice is between proceeding with the bill or risking a shutdown, which would give Trump more power. While the Republican bill is deeply partisan and doesn't address many needs, allowing Trump to take more power via a shutdown is worse. No one wants a shutdown. Members who oppose the CR want Republicans to take their responsibilities more seriously and negotiate spending bills that address the needs of the American people. The Republican party is the party of Trump, and allowing him to take more power via a shutdown is a worse option than passing the CR.

My Republican colleagues, led by Donald Trump, are in a meltdown because their presidential nominee and policies are unpopular. They are pushing for a nationwide abortion ban and their project 2025 is failing. Democrats just want to focus on moving the country forward and prioritizing people over politics.

Republicans in Congress are allegedly playing a game by not codifying Trump's executive orders into law. They have the power to make Trump's actions permanent through legislation now, with majorities in both the House and Senate, but they haven't. Instead, they are supposedly waiting until the midterms to campaign on the promise of turning Trump's agenda into law if reelected. The speaker believes this is a ploy to prioritize reelection over serving the American people. The speaker hopes voters elect Democrats to overrule the Republicans. The speaker accuses members of Congress of being bought by special interests and caring more about their careers than the needs of the country. They urge voters to remember that Republicans could act now but are choosing not to for political gain.

One person can call for a vote to remove Kevin McCarthy, but a majority is needed, which means Democrats would have to vote against him. However, it is unlikely that Democrats will do so because McCarthy made a deal with them. The speaker believes that Democrats will actually support McCarthy to show who really governs and how it happens. The speaker wants to change this system and evaluate bills independently. McCarthy is making a secret deal on Ukraine while trying to get Republicans to vote for a continuing resolution that doesn't include Ukraine. McCarthy has lied to Democrats, Republicans, and the White House, but if they choose to keep him, he belongs to them.

Yesterday, there was a historic and fast-moving event in Manhattan and the nation's capital. Congressman Matt Gaetz explains that the process to select a new speaker of the House began with intense debates and prayer. Tom Emmer withdrew from the race, and Mark Molinaro suggested taking a nonbinding poll on the second-place candidate, Mike Johnson. Kevin McCarthy objected to this, revealing his true intentions to undermine other candidates. After a three-hour delay, Mike Johnson gained momentum and ultimately received a majority of votes. This victory signifies a shift in power from McCarthy to Johnson, who is known for his focus on the administrative state and constitutional issues. The speaker election will take place at noon.

The speaker claims the Biden-Harris administration and some states are undermining election integrity, not them. Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting, but states have issues. The speaker says the House passed the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, but Chuck Schumer and the Democrats blocked it in the Senate. The speaker alleges the open border policy is a Democratic strategy to enable non-citizen voting. They estimate 16 million illegal aliens are in the country since the border was opened, raising concerns about their potential illegal participation in elections, where some races are decided by very few votes. The speaker also cites California's ballot harvesting and unmanned ballot boxes in Wisconsin as potential sources of fraud.

The speaker discusses a recent vote in the US House of Representatives to defund the National Endowment for Democracy, arguing that this measure is not neutral or benevolent, but a leftist enterprise. The speaker states that leftists are free to contribute to it, but insists that hardworking Americans should not be forced by the government to contribute to causes they find repugnant, including the NED. Despite this stance, the speaker notes that 81 Republican members of the House voted with all the Democrats to keep the funding stream going, funding the enterprise with federal money. The speaker contends that there should be legitimate disagreement within the Republican Party, but asserts that this issue should not be one of them. When campaigning as a Republican, the speaker says, voters expect basic precepts, including that the US government is too big and expensive because it does too many things it was never intended to do. The speaker argues that Republicans should agree that funds should not be taken from hardworking Americans and given to left-leaning enterprises that undercut everything the party stands for or purports to stand for. If viewers share the speaker’s frustration, they are urged to find out how their representative voted and raise the issue with them. The speaker anticipates that some Republicans will blame the outcome on the Senate filibuster, though they claim the Senate filibuster rule should not affect the House. The speaker argues that such blaming is severely exaggerated and emphasizes the importance of ending the zombie filibuster, calling for a speaking filibuster instead of silent or asleep filibustering. With the procedural concerns addressed, the speaker says the party should move on to implementing policies for which Republicans were elected, including reducing federal wasteful spending, ending funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, and passing the SAFE Act. The speaker describes the SAFE Act as something that “like, 80% of all Americans agree with,” which is to take steps to stop noncitizens from voting in elections. The speaker reiterates the admonition to stay true to the Republican Party and not align with another party, ending with a caution: “Don’t get on the other one. And, good heavens, don’t get on a donkey.”

Informal conversations have taken place between the Republican and Democratic sides, possibly leading to bipartisan compromise. With Jim Jordan lacking the necessary votes to become speaker, these discussions may intensify. Jim Jordan is seen as a symbol of MAGA extremism and a threat to democracy. However, there are other qualified Republicans who could potentially be the speaker of the house. Jim Jordan is not considered suitable for this role under any circumstances.

The people who wanted the proceedings that day shut down were not Republicans. They were Democrats. They did not want the airing of all of the evidence of fraud, which would be two hours per state. You had senators working with with Republican house members to contest those results, ask for the ten day audit, and have two hours of debate over it. Democrats did not want that. It was the Democrats who wanted the proceedings that day shut down, not Republicans. And, of course, they got they got what they wanted.

My amendment to fire Secretary Lloyd Austin using the Holman Rule just passed on the House floor. This is the first time we've used the Holman Rule in years. It's an important tool for Congress to fire federal officials. Secretary Austin deserves to be fired because of his failure in Afghanistan, low military recruitment, and forcing 8,000 troops out for refusing the COVID vaccine. Confidence in his leadership is lost. My amendment reduces his salary to $1. Share the good news!

Tuesday's vote determines which party controls the US House, which significantly controls the country and steers Western civilization. This may affect the entire destiny of humanity. The speaker is voting in person and has received death threats.

Republicans who plan to vote against Jim Jordan on the second ballot are afraid of facing a primary challenge. They want to appear supportive by voting for Jordan initially but believe it's time to move on. The problem lies in the overwhelming number of calls they are receiving, with hundreds or even thousands flooding their offices. This is due to the strong grassroots campaign led by far-right activists in support of Jim Jordan.
