Congress Sucks | FRAUD & McCarthy's Embarrassing Failure.

the new Republican House of

Representatives is in absolute shambles

for the first time in 100 years a

speaker of the house has not been

elected in the first round of voting in

fact yesterday we had three rounds of

voting and the person everybody thought

was going to become speaker of the house

and the person who's already moved into

the speaker's office Kevin McCarthy lost

three times three times yesterday Kevin

McCarthy lost after all he only has the

opportunity to lose four votes in the

House of Representatives as Republicans

won a smaller majority than expected

during the midterm elections but in this

case Kevin McCarthy lost by 19 votes

then by 19 votes and then to add insult

to injury by 20 votes which is kind of

going in the wrong direction for Kevin

McCarthy the favorite otherwise is a

republican Jim Jordan Jim Jordan however

was actually advocating for Kevin

McCarthy even Donald Trump just came out

saying that McCarthy will do a good job

it's time for all Republicans to vote

for McCarthy but people like Matt gatz

of Florida who is voting against

McCarthy has gone as far as writing

letters to complain about why has

McCarthy been able to move into the

speaker's office when he hasn't actually

been elected yet in In fairness that's

kind of a good point but Matt Getz goes

on to say things like Kevin McCarthy has

sold himself for a decade to get here he

is corrupted by lobbyists he doesn't

bring bills to the floor that will

secure our border in Texas he accepts

the Omnibus spending package which will

increase inflation for ordinary

Americans and he won't call for rigorous

oversight of politicians and the only

person that actually would do these

things is Jim Jordan including

introducing a term limits bill so people

like Nancy Pelosi can't be in office

forever okay you have to say I mean some

of those things sound pretty like normal

okay actually pretty decent I think the

issue at hand though is that what we're

seeing and and Democrats by the way

they're on the sidelines just eating

popcorn over this okay but I think

what's happening is America's realizing

damn we really just have a divided

government and this is kind of what our

political system has come to where even

when Democrats controlled the Senate the

last two years what did we have Cinema

and mansion that basically were able to

hold up any kind of agenda of the

Democrats now don't get me wrong people

on the right are like hell yeah mansion

in cinema you guys are doing our work

for us right other than people on the

left are like come on like we won like

we have the 51 votes but now people on

the inside aren't letting us do anything

and now actually the same thing is

happening to Republicans where it's like

they can't the House of Representatives

can't do committee assignments they

can't start business they can't swear

people in they can't do anything they

can't pass rules until they actually

elect a speaker so they'll try again

today at noon they're going to gavel in

and uh they'll they'll hold a vote soon

after but if McCarthy doesn't make good

progress and he Narrows this down to

maybe only losing by eight votes right

he needs to show really good progress

over these last 24 hours

he might not end up becoming speaker of

the house which you know then then it's

kind of anyone's guess is it gonna end

up being someone like Jim Jordan or is

it going to be uh somebody else like

Patrick McHenry he's another person

people are looking at right now nobody

knows but uh really what this does is it

it kind of emboldens dissent in our

Congress and it suggests hey if you want

something you know you want another

committee assignment you want more

funding for your project or or whatever

or you want your lobbyists to be taken

care of over somebody else's well all

you have to do is basically just sit in

the corner and say nope nope nope to

anything and then you start getting what

you want it kind of emboldens this I

mean we might end up having government

shutdowns again like we did in 2011

where the US was basically about to

default it's it's basically being called

becoming a hardliner where you just

Hardline to hold out and get what you

want so it's gonna be crazy crazy a lot

of McCarthy allies right now looking to

negotiate the demands of others but

you'll probably end up seeing patients

run out very soon in Congress for

waiting for somebody like

uh Kevin McCarthy to actually get his

act together but again then nobody's

really clear in terms of who actually

might jump in and fill that role and

what we can tell you is when you have

people like Marjorie Taylor green saying

this looks bad on Republicans

you have a lot of people going Marjorie

Taylor green you do a lot of things that

make Republicans look bad and you're

saying this makes Republicans look bad

and In fairness it kind of does because

it sends the signal of a lack of unity

amongst Republicans again Dems are

loving that but it shows us that the way

our government functions is solely

through gridlock if you want something

in Congress you must contribute to

gridlock now what's wild about this is

it's all happening at the same time as

somebody like George Santos or

republican is basically admitted to

being a pathological liar lying about

his resume that he went to uh you know

college and actually graduated from

college and then that he went and worked

for Goldman Sachs and worked for the

city group and all of these turned out

to be lies and then despite making

everyone believe that he was actually a

Jew running for congress as an openly

gay Republican it turns out he isn't

actually a Jew he's actually Catholic

and then in interviews just tells people

oh but you know I'm Jewish

I'm like this is seriously what politics

is devolving into we have a fraud and a

liar somebody who's potentially

potentially has connections to a Ponzi

scheme the SEC filed a complained

against uh that's George Santos he ended

up working for Harbor City capital which

was accused of a 17 million dollar Ponzi

scheme by the SEC

uh just shortly before Mr Santos

magically made three and a half million

dollars from some miscellaneous LLC that

he created with no public profile and

was dissolved soon after it was created

who who knows how that Ponzi scheme

money is moving around but now

apparently in the state of Brazil is

opening a criminal investigation against

George Santos for potential check fraud

when he was 20 years old

this is what Congress has come to it's

pretty wild I was thinking about doing a

little bit more of a detailed dive into

George Santos if you're interested in

that and maybe a reaction to the uh

Tulsi interview with him as well let me

know in the comments down below happy to

do that but otherwise to me it looks

like you've got some real big

embarrassments for congress right now

not only can Kevin McCarthy not actually

get his party together with a form of

unity to start actually getting things

done in congress not that much is going

to get done anyway because any bill that

Republicans pass is just going to get

squashed by democrats in the Senate are

squashed by Joe Biden

kind of not going to be doing anything

the next two years anyway so to some

degree it's kind of like doesn't really

make a difference but while that

embarrassment is happening you also have

the embarrassment actually sitting

around waiting to get sworn in and his

name is George Santos the fraud and liar

who says it's okay to be a liar because

after all Joe Biden is a liar

yeah because that's exactly how you

defend yourself you don't actually

defend yourself you just point the

finger and say things like well they're

doing it too

this is childish our government has

turned into a childish group of babies

it's pretty embarrassing
