- May 4 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, delivers opening remarks at a Budget Committee hearing entitled, "The Default on America Act: Blackmail, Brinkmanship, and Billionaire Backroom Deals."
MAGA Republicans’ dangerous bill proposes a terrible choice: default on our financial obligations, cause widespread pain and wreck our economy, or gut basic federal programs essential to our economic strength, cause widespread pain, and wreck our economy.
We are watching senator Whitehouse...
Don't stop showing us the truth of what these actual crooks are trying to do.
This has to stop.

Brilliant, articulate, candid and consistently well informed every time you speak Senator Whitehouse. 🙏
Love the way you tease out the truth which allows “jill & joe average” to understand the under handedness at play.👌👏👍
Bravo Sir💕🌏💕
Interesting choice of first names for the Averages!
@@lindas-k5766 maybe because I’m Canadian “eh”?🤷♀️😂🤭
@@taraclarke6850 - lol. (Matched the first names of our president and first lady. I wondered if that was intended.)
@@lindas-k5766 huh .. hadn’t considered that but it’s true 🤷♀️🤭 guessing you’ve heard the reference though?🙂
*THANK YOU SIR!. PLEASE KEEP THIS ENERGY UNTIL 2024!. WE TRULY NEED THIS TRUTH TO POWER!. **#FULLSTOP*
Thank you Senator Whitehouse! The cruelties & suppression of rights that the Republican Party has in mind for every freedom loving American is extremely alarming, utterly despicable, based on their own ignorant prejudices & very cruel, which is exactly the point they are making with their disgusting legislation efforts. We need more aggressive Democrats to push back, like you are!
But the pushback cannot be attention seeking, name calling rudeness. Be adults not 5th graders. Thank you senator for giving me hope.
Absolutely Amen 🙏🏻
They have a plan to tank our economy in order to blame President Biden - and Dems in general - for their evil creation!!!
And, yet, they would vote for evil again in 2024...
The US isn't the shining beacon it once thought it was. The world sees gun violence that should have been stopped 20 yrs ago. The world sees a racist, woman-hating political system, run by wealth men, who are firmly in the pockets of big oil, big pharma, big corporations, for their personal gain.
I'm glad we live in Canada - though my husband works in the States. From now till Jan 2025, will be the defining moments for Americans.
Please don't plunge us all into chaos & VOTE!
💙👍
We need to fill the chambers with people like Sen. Whitehouse and Rep. Katie Porter!!!!!!!!!!
That would be a ticket I would vote for in a second!
From abroad, agreed. Good choices, the best ones.
VOTE BLUE!

These Shelfish evil repubs are sinking quickly. With their announcements that we are worthless to them & will spend what they wish. One after another we find the Truth in the repub attempts to Steal our country from us❣️🙏🏻
And their Mouths certainly show their hostility to us.
ENOUGH of repubs!!🙏🏻
@@jmb3608 much better than Biden Harris
Ummm..we ABSOLUTELY need Sheldon in the SENATE right now...but that being said there are a GREAT MANY of us who wish to see him either make a run for President ORRRRRRRR be appointed to the SCOTUS. Thank you Senator Whitehouse for ALL you have done and CONTINUE to do to help preserve our Democracy.
*NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SCOTUS!. GREAT OBSERVATION!.*
Don’t forget, Jamie Raskin he is now in remission, and he is a force to be reckoned with even while receiving his chemo treatments he has called out the ignorant fascists at every hearing
Well, he can't be appointed unless Thomas is impeached and forced out. We can hope!
Senator Whitehouse needs to retain his seat, up for 2024 election
@@gingerhickerson5792 THAT IS WONDERFUL❢❢❢ I hadn't heard the great news, but he's been in my prayers every single day (him, John Fetterman, Feinstein and the 2024 elections😉)🙏👍👍👍🥳!
We need to remind the self-entitled elected that they serve us, not the other way around. Power to the people.
🎶🎵Power to the People🎶🎵❣️🙏🏻
If the people of America go broke, so do 25-50% of millionaires everyone from the stock market - to the manufacturer lose also.
They don’t care……isn’t it obvious to you, it’s like talking to a wall
Looks good no paper but when we all wake up out of THAT dream, reality will smack us back into reality.
They can be reminded until we're blue in the face... they'll still ignore it.
I'm very thankful for Senator Sheldon Whitehouse speaking the truth to anyone who will listen.
If folk dont listen to him .We are finished as a nation.
Yes!
wish he could be our President
What truth?? Obama raised the debt by almost 9 Trillion!! Biden has raised over 3 Trillion in less than 3 years!! Why don't the Dems EVER say a plan?? Where's the DEM plan to stop bleeding money WE DONT HAVE?? Dems = The party of the low IQ and ignorant.
Yes! The more I watch Senator Whitehouse I'm learning so much,❤
I love listening to Senator Whitehouse. His name shows where he belongs.
Well done Sen Whitehouse!!
DOA. Default on America- Where republicans want American citizens.
My hero speaking his usual common sense!
Great job Senator Whitehouse for showing the true side of Blackmail.
Absolutely 👍
Whitehouse/Raskin 2024/2028. Call the Facists bluff we can handle it it happened before and we survived but you know who won’t survive the fascist party in 2024.
The public needs to hear and understand what the house Republicans are proposing. These Republicans are focused on sabotaging the Biden government, not on any well thought out policy to help the average American.
So all the money that was added on by trump is exactly where Democrats want to keep it?
I didn’t realize democrats where fans of trumps debt ceiling changes.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is an awesome analyzer. He actually reads all of these maga atrocities and shares them in an understandable manner.
Thank God for them!!
Have you seen Senator Whitehouse is multiple TH-cam videos on the capture of the supreme court is absolutely stellar
@@wisenfunny Which "them" are you referring to???

Democrats & republicans that have decent souls as well.

Bravo Senator Whitehouse!
This country needs many more Sheldon Whitehouse’s in government! Section 4 of Amendment 14 states in part: “ The validity of the public debt of the United States…shall not be questioned.” The bottom line, Congress is required by the Constitution to pay the bills! As that is the case, there shouldn’t even be a motion or a debate! This needs to happen automatically without “permission”, especially from a MAGA House!
we could all sleep at night not having to worry with men and women like Senator Whitehouse! people like Jamie Raskin Eric Swalwell etc!
congress needs to stop making so many bills that of course need to be paid, while SIMULTANEOUSLY cutting taxes for the richest among us. if not for our elected officials being bought and paid for by the wealthy, this wouldn't be happening. we know how we got to this point. now we need to stop it. if that means taking a page from the people of France, then so be it. THEY know how to hold their public officials accountable. why TF don't we???

He is brilliant
As a severely disabled 62 year old woman living in a Section 8 apt. on Medicaid and SSI I'm terrified. The Republicans wanted me dead.😈
The Republican philosophy is about hate. It's how they control their voters. The Republicans M.O. is to give their voters targets for their hate. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
--President Lyndon B. Johnson:
Your useless unless you're making them money. You're disposable to them
Hate to tell you but the Corporate Ds' want you dead too, you are not good for corporate profits. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry phoenix, it's going to get worse. Absolutely you must vote. No you don't have the time to see if your vote is overturned by Republican state legislator's. Sounds like you need professional help now. Get on the phone now with organizations that help your section of our society. Get every type of assistance you can Now.
Every one of us has failed you.
Work that phone girl. The US has run it's luck out. Those who deserve help and have the least will pay the most. Be safe
You figured it out
Stay tough Sen Whitehouse. We need you!

I like Senator Whitehouse ! i wish he would run for president
Maybe in 2028
thank you chairman whitehouse for standing up for america instead allowing it to fall apart like the republicans are doing.
They aren't "allowing" anything- they are creating it🤬❢❢❢
GOP not allowing it to fall apart. They’re actively causing it.
Bravo! Well said - thank you thank thank you for your clarity of response to the MAGA house bill.
The people end up paying more and the rich get even richer. How despicable can the GOP be? Thank you so much Senator Whitehouse for bringing this to the forefront and keeping the public informed.
Thank you for your wise leadership!
Thank you Senate Democrats for looking out for us. Senator Whitehouse you're a superstar!
Whitehouse for the Whitehouse. Run Sheldon run!
Please continue to shine the light of truth on the heartless cruel and morally corrupt actions of the GOP.
Amen 🙏🏻
Call them what they are everyone use the term fascist party that is exactly what they are. They are not the GOP.
These Billionaires need to remember the year 1789! The French haven't had any problems with their 1% since that year. When the French Government wanted to increase the retirement age from 62 to 64 ,the French people responded in masses! 🤔🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Just an observation! 🤔🤔🇨🇵🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙
That is my sentiments exactly - the evil republicans and the rich
would be wise to remember that, HISTORY TENDS TO REPEAT ITSELF🤨❢!
They've moved so far right, that helping people in any way is painful to them. They view it as radical liberalism.
I am glad America has this man!

We need 999 more like him .1 man cant do nothing .

Not repubs!!!!!!!
If you know anyone who still tunes into the right wing lie machine share Senator Whitehouse’s testimony.Maga extremists are killing our country and have totally captured the Republican Party
You're listening here to the most intelligent and worthy man in all of our Government. If only a handful of Republicans had half of this brain power, but alas, they have not a fraction!
Have to be very careful who you vote for if you are a Republican. I'm sure not many Republicans that voted for Trump know who his buddy's are. One was Jeffrey Epstein who killed himself in prison because he and others where sex trafficking children. Trump and him where buddy's and Putin, and Kim of North Korea and Xi of China. All dictators and not in our NATO. What does that say.
We are so fortunate to have Senator Whitehouse.
Please hold the Republicans accountable!
Keep doing your part and speaking loudly.
Whitehouse for POTUS!! President Whitehouse 2024.💙💙💙🤘😎🇦🇺

NO MORE REPUBS, REJECTS!!
Well then, replace Kamala with Whitehouse. He is a solid if Biden doesn’t make it to the end of another term. I am very concerned that Kamala is not strong enough to give confidence to the American public and Biden is old. Biden needs a better running mate.
@@SantasGAINdeer
NO MORE REPUBS, REJECTS!!
I’d vote for him
Well done Mr. Whitehouse!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for standing up for what is right and just.
Really speaking truth to power. Afraid it will fall on deaf ears though.
So all the money that was added on by trump is exactly where Democrats want to keep it?
I didn’t realize democrats where fans of trumps debt ceiling changes.
Thanks you Senator Whitehouse for being a true public servant and voice of The People.
Well said! Thank you. Hopefully, they do the right thing and raise the debt limit now.
Amen brother Whitehouse. Will send contribution for you. So proud to be a Democrat.
Senator Whitehouse is an extraordinary public servant! Bravo, to you for telling the truth and insisting on accountability! Thank you for your outstanding work! 👏👏👌♥️
Yes, and the news media keeps referring to the GOP as "Conservatives" they really need to change the label to "EXTREMIST"!
They don't want to offend any of their sponsors.
Fight & defeat these draconian choices by these amoral & cruel MAGA extremists❣️ Thanks for all you & all Dems are doing!
The mainstream media needs to have Sheldon Whitehouse on tv much more often to better educate the public.
AGREED! Although Lawrence O'Donnell & Chris Hayes are pretty good at having them on their shows.
lorraine dejong…which is the reason they won’t
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for your voice of reason while anarchists in the far right continue to completely neglect their duty to maintain the peace, tranquility and prosperity of We, The People.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!
Everything he said is spot on. Everything he said. Good job. Truth matters.
Democrats do not budge
Lord, I hope not.
They will they aint got a spine.
@@david4096 You may just be surprised - it's always the quiet ones who are underestimated... !!!
@David Thats actually true. As much as I despise Republicans and their DISGUSTING behavior, Democrat are cowards and let the red devils get away with murder ( literally)...
Put Whitehouse in the White House.
Wish .Cross our fingers .That he will run for it .But he,s probly smarter than to want the Job sence the dumps have tanked the econemy.
"Put Whitehouse in the White House." ...trademark!
with Katie Porter or Wes Moore as VP!
@@CogensFamilyTV Katie.
@Jus Cogens Porter'd be a terrific Attorney General too :)
Well said
Here Here!!! Thank you Mr Chairman Whitehouse for telling the truth to the American people!!!
Now, i know about Senator Whitehouse. He is admirable. Thank you GOP for bringing Senator Whitehouse to my attention. Also, GOP brought two gifted Tennessee politicians to my attention. THANK YOU Republicans! The GOP is finally good for something.
YAAASSSSSSS👏! I've known about Whitehouse for a couple years now and adore him, and I can't get enough of the two Justins❣It will be the ONLY thing that I'd EVER thank the gop for (and frankly, just writing "thank(s)" and "gop" in the same sentence is truly nauseating)❢❢❢
Our debt is because of the republicans & chaos is their middle name. Amen 🙏🏻
I would love to see a printout of his speech that I've just been listening to. The clarification of those numbers should make a lot of people think twice before voting Republican. Please make sure you post that speech, it definitely is eye opening
This channel has become my daily source of truth in America. Thank you, sir.
The senator made a very persuasive argument.
I ❤ Whitehouse!
This man is presidential! What a perfect example of what a politician should be.
True but, trump was more interesting. He insulted , threatened and belittled everybody . Now that was funny . MAGA BABY ! ! 😂😂😂
When Senator Whitehouse speaks, people need to listen.
This needs to be run as an ad on every television channel and all over the internet
Senator Whitehouse has had a busy week as the #1Advocate for American citizens.
His persistent exposure of the S.C. corruption results in so many of our intractable problems like fossil fuel dependence. Let's show our support for him!

And, STEALING OUR VOTES in a few ways - with several of their rulings!!! And, these are a mere drop in the bucket filled with their corrupt decisions🤬❢❢❢
Whitehouse hits the nail on the head every time!
Thank you senator Whitehouse ❤
Great speech!
I love Senator Whitehouse. Thank you for all you do.
Right on, Mr. Whitehouse.
Call them out
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
Imagine the economy if everyone paid their fair share of taxes.
research the Eisenhower ( R ) years.... when the Middle class Thrived as did Unions...... Highest earners paid 70-90% ..... its now down to 22% and even lower for the Rich if ANY at all... while you and I pay 32%
AMEN sister👍!!!
Too bad GOP won’t recognize that, or approve it!
@@missygilly9917 It could be done through the Budget Reconciliation, though - since it's related to our economy, right?
Make a run for the White House Sheldon!😁👍👍🗽
You know he isn't my senator but I think I would vote for this man.
He speaks honestly...comes across clear headed and knowledgeable...so yes...I agree
I'm thankful for him out there beating the drum showing the nefarious underhanded side of the so called conservatives.
I would certainly hate to lose him in the Senate, but yes, I would vote for him. A man of Integrity.
*HE WILL AFTER PRESIDENT ROBINETTE BIDEN!. **#FACTS*
Completly agree!
Forget it, we will NEVER vote for evil doers!!!!!💙💙💙🥳
Chairman Whitehouse rocks! His unending love for Americans is ineffable. Thank you a million times.
Bravo!
Perfectly well stated.
This statement needs to be published in the papers.
Thank you!!!!
Exactly! We all feel like they play hostage games with their greed !
Yup! Exactly how I felt when mcconnell wouldn't call the Senate in for a vote, or
even allow debates on the first pandemic relief! It wasn't until the GA Senate runoff that he caved, realizing this would decide control for the Senate! Thank God - and the Georgian citizens - that he failed in his attempt at manipulating the majority of voting Georgians🙏
Chairman WhiteHouse- There needs to be a movement to kick out the Magahats (rats) GOP from Congress and never allowed to be in office again. I am so glad that you are the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
The movement is to VOTE BLUE!
Bravo!!!
TUCK FRUMP !!!!!!!!!
And #MoscowMitch too
The clowns wanna crash the US economy for the lols
Oh, they have an even more sinister purpose alright, and that's to blame Biden for the recession (among all of the other fallout) in their campaigns next year❢❢❢
Sen. Whitehouse is the only adult in the room.
Thank you again, Senator Whitehouse. We all need to VOTE BLUE.
True 💯 👍 Vote Blue Vote 💙 💙 👍 SAVE DEMOCRACY 💙
That’s what a real Senator who serves the people does.
The republican economic policy is right in line with Powells economic policies, working poor get to prop up the economy by losing their jobs
🙄Makes perfect sense- NOT❢❢❢
VOTE BLUE
"Vote blue no matter who" is not a reliable strategy. Too many DINOS 🦕 are virtual Repubs. I give you Manchin & Sinema for example. Not all Dems are Progressive.
One of the best, most searingly honest speeches I have heard from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse among his many intelligent, wise, honest speeches. Senator Whitehouse is an honourable man of integrity. Please listen to him. Vote for your well-being = vote Blue down the ballots. Get rid of these Republicans who want to be drama queens and waffle about doing nothing for we, the people, except further harming us.
Thank you for being a caring person who works hard at his job to solve problems while benefiting all of the people in America. I wish all of your coworkers thought like you.
If they make it any worse than it is now .They will reap the rath of the people.
You hope. But. These people keep putting repubs in office. And. These repubs then do nasty. Things. They never learn.
One of my Senate heroes, Senator Whitehouse is not to be underestimated! Thanks as always!
🕊️💙💙🗽🇺🇲💙💙🕊️
And he brought the receipts! Choke on 'em, Kretin McCarthy!
Whitehouse BELONGS in the Whitehouse!!!
I sure wish Sen. Whitehouse would make a run for President. He would without question have my vote.
Senator Whitehouse has been on fire the last few weeks on Judiciary and Budget. Thank you Senator!
WOOOW the truth HURTS,,
Default violates the 14th Amendment therefore President Biden should simply order the debt continue to be paid, if the GOP forces the situation.
IM QUITE SUR PRESIDENT BIDEN KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO HANDLE THIS. DONT WORRY
Is that an option🙏? And, would that still be subject to congress approval??? Something certainly MUST be done to thwart the evil gop plans!!!
Seasoned Senators like Whitehouse tell just the absolute truth. Seasoned-that’s why Biden must stay too. They know how to deal with these crazies in the House.
AMEN👏!!!
275 pages out of the 315 page bill are devoted to giveaways to the fossil fuel industry. If regular Americans knew what their Republican representatives were pushing, they would vote all the Republicans out immediately. Support independent news media! And the “good guys” in government like Sen Whitehouse & Sen Sanders. Marianne Williamson 2024!
Finally!!! What an enlightening opening for the committee today!! This needs to be shouted from every news outlet! Repeatedly! Facts matter! Calling out destructive politicians must be done regularly! Thank you Sen. Whitehouse.
Lock that dam door so Senator Whitehouse gets the respect he deserves. These republicans, extremists and devils should be locked up for domestic terroism. Senator Whitehouse is a roll Model for all of us. I appreciate and respect him.
I really love how Sen.Whitehouse handle the American problem and I pray he will have help from the other side And notice he has not told a single lie amazing ❤
Go Whitehouse! Get those Republicans! Vote Blue No Matter Who! 👍🇺🇲💙🌊🙏
There isn't enough money in the world that could sway me to vote for mansion or sinema❢ And - to be quite honest - if either were running against someone like Kinzinger, I would vote Kinzinger! So, I agree with voting blue down ticket, with a couple of exceptions! Those two phonies need to be primaried - in a huge way - to send a clear message to any future greedy Dems!!!
Reaganomics has led us into the clutches of new Robber Barrons, just as unscrupulous as ever or worse.
