The speaker expresses frustration over Congress not allowing a recorded vote on a bill, accusing them of a cover-up to protect members politically. He emphasizes the importance of representatives doing their jobs and voting in person. Despite opposition, he insists on a recorded vote to hold members accountable. The speaker criticizes the lack of action by Congress and asserts the need for transparency in decision-making. He confronts Pelosi and McCarthy for their role in preventing a recorded vote. Ultimately, he believes forcing everyone to return for a vote is necessary to uphold democracy.

"This is political theater. I'm gonna call out both sides right here. It's all posturing. It's fake fighting." "We all know where it ends up. This is Groundhog Day." "We always get a c r in September, and then we get an omnibus." "We might get the omnibus before Christmas, but if we're not good, it comes after Christmas." "We should have done 12 separate bills." "But, again, whether Democrats are in control or Republicans are in control, we never do the 12 separate bills." "It's because Democrats wanna grow the welfare state, and republicans wanna grow the military industrial complex." "I guarantee it."

The speaker criticizes both parties for engaging in "political theater" with the annual budget process, resulting in a continuing resolution (CR) and omnibus bill instead of 12 separate appropriations bills. Democrats want to grow the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex. The speaker highlights exposed lies and unconstitutional actions by various agencies, which will continue to be funded. The speaker points out that a previous debt limit increase included a provision for automatic 1% cuts if a CR extended past April 30th. The current CR is set to expire on March 28th to avoid triggering these cuts. A "bright shiny object," the SAVE Act, is attached to the CR, which is designed to prevent illegals from voting. The speaker predicts the SAVE Act will be removed, and Republicans will ultimately cave and fund the CR without it. The speaker refuses to participate in this "failure theater."

In this video, the speaker discusses their efforts to introduce a balanced budget amendment and plans to balance the budget. They mention working with Senator Grassley to freeze government spending, including Social Security. Another speaker mentions that all Americans should pay some income tax and that federal legislation should sunset every five years. They question why the speaker would propose such measures in an election year. The speaker dismisses this as Democratic talking points and emphasizes the need to consider reality. The conversation ends with a disagreement about whether these ideas are part of the Democratic plan.

I oppose the continuing resolution (CR) authored by Byron Donald. It continues the Ukraine policy negotiated by Speaker Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, which conservatives were against. The CR allows Jack Smith to continue election interference and silences the former president and leading contender for the Republican nomination. It abandons the principle of reviewing single subject spending bills, which is necessary to save the country and hold agencies accountable for their budgets. We cannot sustain two trillion-dollar deficits on top of a $33 trillion debt. A mere 8% cut over 30 days without programmatic reform is an insult to the principles we fought for in January.

This situation was avoidable. In January, I warned against repeating past mistakes where Republicans relied on Democrat votes for major spending bills. I supported Speaker McCarthy, helping pass key legislation, but our unity faltered with the Responsibility Act, which lacked significant spending cuts. Despite promises to leverage the debt ceiling for reforms, we ended up with an unlimited increase. The Speaker failed to bring all appropriations bills to the floor on time, leading members to negotiate among themselves. I reluctantly agreed to a compromise to move forward, but when a critical vote failed, it became clear the Speaker was unwilling to fight against Democrats. With national debt soaring and inflation high, we need a leader who will truly fight for fiscal responsibility. Regrettably, I must vote to vacate the chair.

The speaker accuses the House Speaker of not complying with the agreement that allowed him to assume the role. They criticize the lack of action on term limits, balanced budgets, and the release of the January 6th tapes. The speaker also expresses disappointment in the lack of accountability for the Biden family and the reliance on budgetary gimmicks. They highlight the failure to use the power of the subpoena and the power of the purse, specifically mentioning the absence of a subpoena for Hunter Biden. The speaker criticizes the leadership's request to vote for a continuing resolution, which they believe supports the Green New Deal and inflationary spending. They demand real oversight and mention the possibility of impeachment for Joe Biden. The speaker warns of a motion to vacate the chair if compliance is not met.

We demanded specific bills, set deadlines for their consideration, and insisted on sticking to a budget resolution. Our goal was to avoid voting on massive omnibus bills. It's absurd to think that legislating involves rushing through bills that are thousands of pages long, costing trillions of dollars, with only 48 hours to review. This approach undermines the value of each member and insults our constituents. We needed a better way to govern.

**Speaker 0:** 212 Democrats voted against no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. If the government makes money and spends it responsibly, taxes aren't necessary. The new administration is holding the government accountable, and people are mad about it. **Speaker 1:** There's no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security in the budget resolution. Taxes are normal. This utopia where nobody pays taxes isn't going to work. Read the budget before lecturing people about it.

My colleague from Oklahoma claims that not supporting Kevin McCarthy would cause chaos, but I disagree. Chaos is having $33 trillion in debt and a $2.2 trillion annual deficit. Chaos is not passing single subject spending bills and relying on continuing resolutions and omnibus bills. We need reforms that go beyond McCarthy's time in office, such as open amendments and a clear understanding of the budget. These changes would lead to legislative progress, even if it means sometimes losing or forming unexpected partnerships. The American people expect us to work hard and deliver, something Speaker McCarthy has failed to do. That's why I've called for his removal.

The speaker criticizes both parties for engaging in "political theater" with the annual budget process, resulting in continuing resolutions (CR) and omnibus bills. They claim that Democrats want to expand the welfare state, while Republicans want to expand the military-industrial complex, leading to increased spending regardless of which party is in power. The speaker highlights alleged lies and overreach by various government agencies, which they claim are consistently funded despite Republican opposition. They point out that a proposed 1% cut to spending, tied to a previous debt limit increase, is avoided by the speaker's choice of a 6-month CR. The speaker also dismisses the "SAVE Act" attached to the CR as a "bright shiny object" designed to excite Republicans, predicting it will be removed and never become law. They urge Republicans to fight for the Act, forcing Democrats to publicly support allowing "illegals to vote," but ultimately believes the CR will pass without it.

- The speakers criticize a new funding bill as a bloated, bipartisan package totaling over $1.7 trillion, arguing it represents a “middle finger” to American taxpayers and funds more than merely keeping the lights on. They claim both parties supported it, eliminating any real fiscal fight. - They highlight a provision referred to as health care extenders on page 772, noting that temporary pandemic expansions in health and welfare programs are now baked in as permanent costs for taxpayers. This is presented as evidence that eligibility expansions for Medicare are being locked in. - They point to Israel-related spending buried within the bill, noting provisions allocating hundreds of millions of dollars for Israeli missile defense programs, including the Iron Dome, on page 101 of the 1,059-page bill. They argue that funding the U.S. government is linked to funding a foreign defense system, and that this represents corporate welfare for well-connected interests in Washington. - The discussion asserts that Ukraine-related funding is not explicitly in the bill as written, but that money may still be funneled through contractors or other channels. They question whether there will be a final victory lap on supposedly winding down Ukraine aid, suggesting money remains flowing covertly. - They discuss the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, noting that money for NED remained in the bill despite amendments to cut funding. They describe NED as a non-partisan tool that has supported regime-change activities, including actions in Iran and Venezuela, and criticize both parties for preserving this funding. - They critique the consolidation of aid into the State Department, specifically via USAID under Marco Rubio, arguing that oversight has weakened and that funding is redirected for various foreign policy aims (e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, Iran). They discuss the influence of Rubio on where funds go and describe the arrangement as increasing executive-led control with limited transparency. - They argue that the bill reflects a broader pattern of government spending: a so-called “uni-party” consensus that avoids reducing government size, with both parties acting in lockstep on foreign and domestic priorities. - The conversation touches on public opinion, citing a Gallup poll that suggests younger generations despise both major parties, and they link this to perceived bipartisan over-spending and interventionism. - Throughout, the viewers criticize what they see as a routine of declaring emergencies and then normalizing permanent programs, suggesting that emergency measures become permanent and that the political system uses crisis rhetoric to justify ongoing expenditure. - The discussion ends with remarks on political leadership, labeling Speaker Johnson as a weak figure and coining a proposed “fuck it party” as a first-principles anti-war alternative, with participants noting they would join or support it. Daniel McAdams provided expert commentary throughout.

I don't support Kevin McCarthy as Speaker because he can't be trusted and has caused chaos. The real chaos is the $33 billion debt, $2.2 trillion annual deficit, and the lack of passing single subject spending bills. We've been governed by continuing resolutions and omnibus bills since the mid-90s, which is chaotic. We need reforms like open amendments and understanding the budget. If we had these reforms, there would be times when my conservative colleagues and I would lose, but the American people would see us legislating. Speaker McCarthy hasn't delivered, so I've moved to vacate the chair.

Speaker 0 expresses frustration with the constant influx of bills and the struggle to provide for their constituents. They believe that the power given to one person goes against the constitution. Speaker 2 agrees, feeling trapped by rules that limit their ability to represent their people. They argue that although they live in a democracy, it doesn't feel that way in their current situation. They urge others to understand the power and control held by the speaker and the need to convey this message to their own districts. They emphasize that everyone, regardless of party, is affected by these limitations.

Speaker 0 criticizes Speaker McCarthy for taking credit for the single subject appropriations bills, stating that it was not his original plan. They argue against lumping together departments like Education and Labor with the military and border patrol, calling it chaotic. Speaker 0 claims that they forced the change and warns that if Speaker McCarthy continues, the appropriations process will become a sideshow controlled by lobbyists and special interests. They express frustration with how the American people have been mistreated for decades and vow to fight against it.

The speaker expresses frustration with the incompetence and absurdity of the body they are a part of. They criticize the lack of progress in addressing the country's debt and the inability to have meaningful conversations about important issues like Social Security and Medicare. The speaker questions the purpose of taxation if one believes in modern monetary theory and highlights the failure of past commissions to address the debt. They express support for a current bill but emphasize that the American people are left wondering what Congress is doing for them.

We demanded specific bills, set deadlines for their consideration, and insisted on adhering to spending limits outlined in a budget resolution. Our main objective was to avoid voting on massive omnibus bills. It's absurd to think that legislating involves rushing through bills that are thousands of pages long, cost trillions of dollars, and only allow 48 hours for review. This approach undermines the value of each member and insults our constituents. We needed a better way to govern.

The speaker believes American people are tired of lies in Washington D.C. and fake fights. They cite a vote on July 10th that now requires voting for a continuing resolution that continues the Biden administration's budget, including the Green New Deal. The speaker believes this is absurd and will frustrate the Republican base, who are tired of being lied to, especially with the November 5th election approaching. Creating a fake fight could cause Republicans to lose the House. The speaker suggests being honest about aligning with Democrats, rather than pretending to fight for spending reduction. They are unlikely to participate in a fake fight but are open to a real one. The speaker believes the Speaker needs to be honest with President Trump about plans for September 30th, which they don't believe has been the case.

The speaker discusses their rate of operation and their commitment to the American people. They express frustration with the current state of Congress and the power dynamics within it. They mention a conversation with Nancy Pelosi about the rule of one person ruling out others, and how it affected their ability to gather votes. They also mention their offer to Vayner and criticize the actions of certain individuals that they believe have harmed the institution. The speaker questions how to govern when a small group of people can partner with the opposing side. They express disappointment with the motion made against them despite making a decision for the country.

Speaker Johnson is renegotiating a spending deal and may withdraw from a $1.7 trillion plan with Chuck Schumer. Conservatives are frustrated with the lack of wins in the new house and want a speaker who will prioritize border security. They argue that Republicans are not fulfilling their promises and are making the issue more complicated than it needs to be. Some Republicans are pushing to oust Johnson for going against his word. The debate centers around strong border security and the consequences of a government shutdown. Democrats are willing to support anything that annoys conservatives, and bills like this one drive conservatives crazy. The speaker urges a change in course with spending cuts and fiscal policy changes to avoid economic collapse.

I wanted a podium on the Republican side, but I was sent here instead. Nevertheless, I will make my argument anywhere to bring about change in Washington. Our economy is in trouble, with high inflation burdening American families. Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the House, has failed to take a stand. I will defend the right of hardworking Americans to afford a decent life. We need new leadership, single subject spending bills, and transparency in legislation. Let's set a budget and get our act together. It's time for a better speaker.

The Republicans are currently voting on amendments for funding bills, and it's crucial that they come to an agreement to avoid a government shutdown. This disagreement is essentially between the hard right and the even harder right within the GOP. Unfortunately, under Kevin McCarthy's leadership, it seems difficult to govern. However, it's important that they find a way to keep the government running because ordinary Americans will suffer if they don't. There's a bipartisan continuing resolution supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, and I hope the House will have the opportunity to vote on it and work together in a bipartisan manner.

The speaker criticizes the House Speaker for not complying with the agreed terms and demands immediate compliance or removal. They express dissatisfaction with the lack of action on term limits, balanced budgets, and the release of January 6th tapes. The speaker accuses the House Speaker of insufficient accountability for the Biden family and enabling Biden's spending agenda. They highlight the failure to use the power of subpoena and purse, particularly in regards to Hunter Biden. The speaker opposes a continuing resolution and calls for individual spending bills, oversight, and impeachment of Joe Biden. They warn of a potential motion to vacate the chair and pledge to resist the current government if necessary.

Speaker 0 discusses the upcoming deadline of September 30th and asks Speaker 1 to explain what they expect to happen. Speaker 1 hopes that McCarthy will comply with the deal. They urge the audience to contact their members of congress and demand a vote on term limits and a balanced budget. They also question why individual bills on spending are not being voted on. Speaker 1 criticizes Joe Biden, accusing him of turning the vice presidency into an ATM for his family. They believe that the audience, referred to as the "posse," can make a difference by being active and engaged. Speaker 1 acknowledges the need for accountability and personal reflection, expressing a commitment to improve going forward.
