#KevinMcCarthy #GOP #Speaker
How can someone removed as a leader tell someone how to be a leader
Like Biden?
@@silentmajority8365you're thinking of Trump 😂😂 that's the one who was fired
@@silentmajority8365 Poor username. Noisy minority is more appropriate.
@@silentmajority8365you misspelled Trump.
Exactly, he's a creep
McCarthy "I have a 5 point plan". You had the majority and 2 years to pass it.
@PatrickjoosJoos well they investigated gas stoves, and Hunter Biden, and washing machines!
Wow, he twists the world narrative to his. McCarthy, we aren't as stupid as you think. And yes, Ukraine has been in that situation for a while now.
Where?
Can someone pleeeease ask this man and the rest of the GOP if it would have been the other way around, would they save Nancy Pelosi, or Hakeem Jeffries?!?!?!
The sooner Kevin leaves public life the better!
We would all love to see Kevin POQ !
I'm sick of his lies, his blaming others, and his refusing to answer questions or let others speak. He is as nauseating as Trump.
@@708robertd I'm pretty sure people, citizens of this country, are aloud to dislike him and verbalize a belief that the sooner he's gone the better-first amendment and all.
And Matt , Marjorie and Lauren. They are all phony patriots.
Biden*
Kev, there’s a reason you’re no longer speaker…this interview confirms it. “Effectively useless” was the perfect response!
Still better than Palozzi.
@@ericeandco NOT EVEN CLOSE MAGIT !
@@ericeandcoonly in your head.
Seriously, get help.
Hey at least he was sober at this moment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Pelosi sober for any period of time.
hmmmm...
Yet she was the most successful Speaker of all time, Fact. @@aarondowler2466
[7:16] Sixteen years ago, in 2007, the Senate proposed a plan for the border and migrants that George W. Bush had agreed to sign, yet the Republicans of the House refused to pass it.
it's always that the democrats add issues to certain bills to get their socialist agendas in
Yes and people like McCarthy and Trump are a huge reason why !
Or the DNC firm alram guy?
@@silentmajority8365 alram? 😂😂
They were supported by both democrats and republicans all those years. Obama supported the Muslim nations and inadvertently the extremists.
Atleast they voted for israel iron dome back then unlike democrats progressive squad😂😂
Democrat summer of love routes can't define what a woman is . Democrat president is a potato
I don't believe this is the real Kevin McCarthy. The real Kevin McCarthy is somewhere down at Mar-a-lago shaking hands with Donald Trump.
Kissing 💋 the ring. 😝
A Boebert style handshake?
he is a conservative and israeli poodle
@@clonedmosquito and you are a palestine supporter who enjoys women and children as hostages
Disgrace sums the GOP
The US has financially supported Israel for 75 years with billions every year. Literally. I think the US has done enough.
an yet hose attacking Israel caused TSA searches
He's ridiculous!
if only...seems we're locked into this no-win situation forever.
We're a superpower, which often seems to actually be an unenviable status. We're always going to send billions to some lesser country for some reason. Historically, isolationism has eventually created problems, including wars.
But they cry about 2 years of Ukraine
As a young child growing up in a very poor suburb in the South South of Nigeria, American politicians were some of my favourite people and source of inspirations only next to Holywood actors (Arnold Scwarzenneger, Sylvester Stylone, Chuck Norris etc).
But ever since i discovered those action movies were nothing but fake, then it dawned on me also that America has some of the most disgusting politicians just like Nigeria does. And people like Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Laurent Baobert, MTG, Dos Santos, Sen. Menedez - just to name a few, exemplifies the worst set of humans walking the corridors of power.
Nobody owes you anything
Here you are attacking America using inventions of Americans
Well said!
True dat! I was in Nigeria in the late seventies, most lovely people. The most corrupt and incompetent politicians I have ever seen. Nigerians deserve better
What did you do about jan6 Kevin
😂😂😂 Looney tune democrat 🤣🤣🤣
He was kicked out of his speaker’s chair by his own party.. I’m sure his world came crashing down. He didn’t need to tell us this.
Kevin McCarthy is using this moment for his own personal power grab. Same Ole Kevin.
He actually avoided topics about his position and his Party. Did you watch the interview?
@@killyourtelevision999 I saw that... but at the same time it was like he was showing off his knowledge and connections regarding how important the Speaker position is. He should have been doing this before.
Trump gave Mc Carthy’s foundation $1 million donation (payoff) to do a 180 on trumps guilt on Jan 6.
Chinas gave millions to the bidens but muhhh orange man!

Recap by Tammy AI
Same ole nonsense from McCarthy and The GOP
@tonytony228 Hamas and Hezbollah are making that impossible for the Palestinian people. They need to go and quit using them as puppets. After 75 years, they need to recognize Israel as a state and Israel needs to recognize them as a people. Get out all the terrorists. I know they have been oppressed and I know what happened in the 67 war, I know they are walled off, but hate just breeds hate. Find a way for future children. This attack is evil. This is not the way to get world attention. It just causes more hate.
The speaker? Of whom? Himself?
That's crap, Republicans couldn't get a cup of coffee right🙄🙄🙄🙄
Llhan Omar ain't gonna like that LOL
McCarthy is about himself. He treading water and trying to maintain some dignity and power. I'm a Californian , he's always been about him.
But he didn't though.
He doesn't seem to care about the speaker position anymore. He's been asked by the democrats many times about returning and he's given a reluctant negative answer. Unless he's just playing hard to get.
But he is playing every angle to the benefit the republicans that's for sure, but you can say the same for any politician on any side.
Every time a reporter ask these Republicans a question they always change the question and the answer to something else unbelievable
You ever listen to Karine Jean-Pierre?
@@708robertdThey are not the same.
Ever listened to AOC
Reporter?? you mean democrat establishment activist
Wait, since when do any politicians answer questions? All of them just get rich!!!! Ever heard of insider trading?
McCarthy kissed the Trump ring. Big mistake. That was the beginning of the end of him.
Kevin, just like Pence would be doing much better now if they had denounced Trump and his insurrection.
The big man receives millions from China to ruin our power and car manufacturing but hey orange man bad!
Listening to a man who got ousted by his own party? Are you serious?
why do politicians always talk as if what they say is so important and true? at least his comment about the world falling apart is probably true.
If their mouth is moving, the words are simply useless lies.
I appreciate how the interviewer approached this. Thank you for making sure we heard actual answers to the questions you asked!
You could get all that done when you was a speaker and you didn't do nothing
Republicans don't know how to lead.
Has any political party ever voted for the other party's speaker?
Exactly….why didn’t the host push back on that bs talking point….
The only thing that sucked is the fact that dems voted in line with most maga reps. I personally think it was a missed opportunity to attempt to bring some bipartisan legislation to the table. However from what I have seen km was the weakest speaker I’ve ever known of.
I don't think so. Democrats are going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries. AOC mentioned on another program "would republicans vote for Pelosi?" There's your answer.
Stop pointing the Finger and help fix the problems. for starter drop maga
He is polishing, his legacy of ring kisser.
Kevin: We need leadership.
Also Kevin: Removed as leader by 8 people he handed the scissors.
SIR BYE
A lot of blithering from the best Bakersfield has to offer.
Everybody has answers when they're sitting on the sideline.
This crisis is far more complex than a five Point plan written on his notepad, which will never see the light Of day....
Yup , wars fought over issues thousands of years old . Break it all down and the lowest common denominators are still God and or greed .
Kevin does not know what to do. He is not a Power Broker.
'Kevin McCarthy says he’s ‘watching the world fall around me'....
And Kevin, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with that....right?
Oh it's all falling around Kevin because it's all about Kevin. Kevin has one accomplishment, he got a 45 day extension on government funding. Yeah, it's all about you Kev.
He will not shame The devil with the truth
Give that man a microlight and point him east...
No matter what the US does even if it was the perfect solution that lead to peace it would still be criticized
He broadcasted the Iron Dome capabilities for the world to hear.
So much for classified information. Kevin thinks he can do as his trumpy cult leader does , but trumpy, will drag Kevin in front of a train and tie Kevin to the tracks and walk away .
3 years ago there was a war in Ukraine
800 doesn't equal 800?
kevin has placed a value of 800 isralis to 30000 Americans really! why didn’t he be challenged on that. crazy!
But in what way is McCarthy wrong?
@@Benjaminisfunnybecause human life isn’t valued based on a proportion to population of the country
He means 1:1 in terms of population between the 2 countries… but yeah it’s a very weird thing to say.
@@Benjaminisfunny800 people is 800 people, regardless of the total population. So he’s wrong. 800 Israelis is NOT equivalent to 30,000 Americans.
@@jinxterpinxter I think he meant the impact on the nation as a whole; 800 isreali deaths has more impact than 800 american deaths because america has way more people.
Absolutely, everything he did as the speaker was for his own self-interest. What a liar!
Yeah! He will be holding it all together if only he were Speaker. Give me a break!
Thats why he is not a speaker today. He speaks before he thinks.
Get real, McCarthy. You know and the people know that no matter what Biden did, you'd be harping the same thing.
This man is utterly without a spine. That is why we are where we are.
Israel is the best financed best armed most advanced state in the middle east.
RIGHT????
in the world. They get free funding from USA. They had little brother taking their share ..so created war in israel. now zelensky vs netanyahu fight . who gets more money. finger crossed.
seems hes not wanting to do anything about it but, make it worse !!
Before you go sir, please leave and take the bag of wind with you.
The world was watching. The world got ready. When Matt destroyed McCarthy & turned the house upside down, the world reacted.
All while men, women and children are getting butchered , republicans are fighting like kids. Know blood is all over the Republicans hands!
Now he wants to do something now Kevin was out. Blaming others isn't leading
30,000 for the US is the same percentage as 800 is to israel. Get it?
Why would anyone listen to this man about anything 😂
Just read your comments without playing this video and I can already tell he is doing a "spin" interview. #Will the real Kevin Mccarthy, please stand up. After he is done blowing the orange maniac. Ty
Imaging thinking the democrats should have voted for him. Like seriously, would they have voted for pelosi?
Kevin McCarthy the ring kisser, that speaks but no one wants to be close enough to listen.
Drama queen. Bye Kevin.
“I’m totally still relevant and important guys, honest!” 😲
In addition to Sweden's accession to NATO, the Turks need to cooperate and hand over the Hamas leadership that resides in Turkey, to US custody.
Y’all remember when Obama had Iran acting like it had some sense??? Pepperidge Farms remembers….
watching him trying to stay relevant in this time of crisis is sad
Nonsense!
Can we stop spending money we don't have???
Never leave an American behind but republicans were just crying about getting Americans back from Iran 😂😂😂
He still want to blame the Dems but his own party ousted him. It’s the talking points that grind my gears
Kevin McCarthy has no shame. He just said he won’t run for the speakership. Now he’s changed his mind! No wonder Democrats couldn’t trust him to vote for him!
He didn't say he would run. He said its the Republican caucus' decision. What a stupid comment.
No shame and no pride.
GOP and US instability opens the window for international turmoil!
The House will not do more than talk as always. And blame. And complain.
Talk about leaderless. Poor Kevin is a ball-less wonder. Slither back into your hole, Kev.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
I smell a big rat in 2 countries,guess which 2....
He has some nerve to talk about leadership
You cant given Kev, that's why your party voted you out, please don't blame the other party.
This man is talking about keeping calm, being an adult and being a Leader....when this man lies and cannot keep a job for 1 year. Perhaps he needs to clean his house of clowns before he presents a plan to do anything else.
He should have advised himself how to keep his post as Speaker of House. His credibility is lost.
I thuogh it was all in house dont lie
Does Kevin and the Republicans think we are that stupid? I have news for these people, the NEW GENERATION IS HERE and they are smarter, start running away! We are coming for you
You are very much wanted and needed if this country is to survive.
With 900+ dead in Israel already, the Israelis may have to go hard into Gaza Strip, regardless of the hostages.
This guy is an amateur and I'm not talking McCarthy. Reporter looking real shady with that line of questioning that is more about palace intrigue than the news at hand.
He sold his soul to the Devil but expected greatness. SMH.
McCartey had 10 monthe to fullfil the HOUSE Speakers primary job ...
have passed the BUDGET by SEPT 30
McCarthy failed
HOUSE republicans did the right thing by vacating McCarthy
The two state is the solution. Attacking Iran will complicate the situation and will cause more death of innocents people of both sides.
People like you that don't support Kevin McCarthy is the reason why America is in such a decrepit state.
Yes, I am talking to you!
Maybe thats b/c he's a big part of the blame !
He is really full of it. Kevin is. 🙄
Kevin McCarthy has no spine.
He's a great boot licker too 😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to the club!
Wow kevin, youre so smart , go run for president.
He also voted for the Iraq war😅
[10:05] The world has been at war since Thu, 24 Feb 2022. Keep up, Kevin :-)
Who is this guy? Is this an SNL skit?
📢 Haa Haa Haa Haaaa Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It I'd not I ran . It is Iran
Partisanship is alive and well
Thanks Sir for helping Mr McCarthy understand what leadership really is. Who is he to try to tell anyone about being a leader😅
😂Right.
Awww, are wittow Kevin's feewings hort?
Interesting…. So the democrats had everything to do with voting McCarthy out, but had nothing to do with voting to keep the government open. Convenient way of phrasing this, EX-speaker.
Can you really trust a lier
Why the heck is this host giving him an opportunity to tell lies and more lies...
They though he found some ethics and standards. But seems that he has the Mar-O-Lago loyalty virus.
First thing that should be done before they start killing the hostages is to go in with the Army
The first speaker to be fired lol
Just leave Kevin let him stay home alone 😂
Dude why didn't you ask him about Sen. Tupperware holding up the appointments since the "world is at War" as he said??
And what was his contribution to this fall? Bye Felicia!!!
Ask him why he didn't fix the immigration problems when they had control of all 3 branches of government!
Little Kevin is living in a fantasy world.
