Republicans need more men like Byron Donalds!!! Thanks!
Agreed! But so far it's just talk.
They have plenty of guys bought off by the fossil fuel industry
100%
They'd do better to have fewer people like mcconnell and graham
Like cloning?
Byron Donald is a champion for truth. 🇺🇸
But Apparently he isn’t aware how the economics of supply and demand works which is strange.
I like him too
@@DavidJohnson-hg1mz Please explain. What did he say that gave you that impression?
@@LuckyFlesh David won’t be back.
LOL..... well.... with his level of intelligence, he probably would “find that to be crazy” simply because he doesn’t understand it. But with only a small portion of the truth put out here on ‘Forbes Breaking News’ which is majority owned and controlled by ‘Integrated Whale Media Investments’ of China 🇨🇳, how can anyone be expected to get the whole truth? That is one of the mainstays of propaganda, partial truths coupled with emotion evoking rhetoric, in this case the titles and thumbnail banner text. So if you want the whole truth (hmmm.... why is that phrase ‘the whole truth’ so familiar? 🤔) you may want to try somewhere else.
It is interesting that a Chinese ‘company’ is taking little snippets of video from congress to further their agenda. Rather reminds me of what I heard from Hanoi Hannah during Vietnam. Yeah.... Vietnam era veteran here.... Voluntarily enlisted the very same year Trump got his fake bone spurs to avoid the draft, the unpatriotic lying coward !!!
LOVE Byron Donalds! A true American Patriot.
Collaborator for $$$
Byron is a STUD! Intelligent, honest, and articulate. He could be my president someday. Oh. And I am a white conservative. And NOT a racist.
So am I. 100% validated.
that's how we knew dems and media were lying from the start, right?
We saw right out of the gate they were liars when they KEPT ON saying Mr. Trump/Republicans/conservatives are racists. You and I both know THAT'S not true. So, right away I don't believe them until I've compared w/independent sources.
Honestly the only racists left in America are white liberals. If you don't believe me, just watch how they treat a black conservative.
White liberals consider black people a commodity, they will be a champion of black people as long as black people do exactly what they tell them, and vote exactly the way they want them to. The very moment a black person votes Republican or steps out of line the white liberal will show you what they really think of black people, and it is very ugly and racist.
Trump and Byron Donald’s 2024 would be my dream
The EPA, like the ATF, shouldn't be making arbitrary rules for our lives.
Yep, those 'rules' are in fact laws, and only Congress can pass laws.
Yeah we should let corporations dump garbage, chemicals and carcinogens anywhere they please because people do not matter.
Nor the CDC.
The EPA are Marxist pigs
They have way overstepped
I bet the people of Florida are proud to have Byron represent them.
Let's not forget he's from brooklyn
@@jimmorrison3830 I know some good Puerto Ricans from Brooklyn.
Yes, we are!!!
@@jimmorrison3830 It speaks to his intelligence that he left to come here.
@@drivebyquipper I wish I could be there. Instead of here in this S Hole NYC
"Save the planet" people are the biggest hypocrites ever. And it's a shame there aren't more Byron Donalds. He's a top dog rep.
most of them cause far more pollution that the rest of us combined and they usually are commie suck ups. Its why in the Paris Climate deal, the commies got the best kind of deal. Western countries weaken themselves and then expect the commies to do the same a whole decade afterwards. Libtards conveniently ignore the fact that the commies are producing far more pollution that most countries combined and aren't known to keep promises.
Yes they want to $ave the planet. They al$o like green deal$. I wonder what's behind it. I've heard of so much dirty money going on, but does anyone know what's behind it and how it affects us all?
"Rules for thee but not for me" is their motto 😤
Read the Bible, the planet will not be saved.
Most people that drive electric cars and worry about the environment haven't completed 2 years or science in college. They just jump on the bandwagon because some 22 year old tic tok "celebrities" telling them what to do.
His “Come on” at the end highlighted that woman’s disingenuousness.
Defund these agencies
Disband them entirely. Return those rights and responsibilities to the states where it belongs.
FBI and DOJ, both hired muscle by the Left.
Absolutely
Yeah let’s get to that corporate dystopian future that republicans want so much
@@wnchstrman
The crime these agencies commit is getting in the way of corporations doing whatever they want TO YOU
Hes right on every point
I love Byron, no bullshit and straight to the point. Florida is lucky to have him.
GREAT Job Congressman Donaldson ❤🇺🇲🙏🏼🇺🇲❤️
I’d vote him for president in a heartbeat
We know nothing about him
99% of everyone in our government will be removed .
He's a rock-star, voting for him would be a no-brainer
He's young.
I would like to see him as say, our next Governor first.
@@andycig2993 Exactly. Donalds would make a great Governor when President DeSantis assumes office.
....not yet.....he needs a bit more seasoning....
But EPA doesnt care about E. Palestine😂😂😂 😂😂😂
Mr Donalds is right on point.
At least the panel answered the questions.
What if you had a hearing and almost nobody showed up? Pretty empty room I’m seeing here! 🙄
Donalds is sharp and one cool customer. Love watching him work.
So glad Mr. Donald's used the word "disrespect". It demonstrates the elitist attitude of this new green push and there callous regard for regular people.
They're milking the tax payers!
Just another Socialist money drain!
NORMAL PEOPLE AMY. NORMAL PEOPLE
@@tscande why is saying regular people bad?
This whole administration is full of the most disrespectful people on the planet.
Republicans have a callous regard for the environment. This green new push should have been slowly phased in years ago.
I love this man
This man needs to run for POTUS some day, soon.
We need him in the Senate. That's where the power is and no term limits.
@@mojomanmurph1925 Good point.
Trump needs to make him vice president and prep him for 2028
I believe Trump would be making a good choice to select Byron Donalds as his Vice President
That's a good idea, but I think people who like Byron already like Trump... (so it's not adding any new votes).
President DeSantis might consider it.
Who reads this now were the Ukraine military azov there on Jan 6 no reply I know yt has strangled
@@wnchstrman 5 years ago DeSantis was losing the governor’s race to a poor crack/meth smoking candidate , DeSantis goes hat in hand to DC to humbly ask President Trump for his support which Trump gave him and put DeSantis over the top to win , now DeSantis wants to run against the guy who got him his last job , now I ask you what kind of person does that , someone power hungry with a big ego , someone you can’t trust perhaps; I grant you Trump may have big ego but he already had power and money before getting into politics.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 you bring up a good point, that was the reason JFK selected LBJ as his running mate and how did that out , Trump has to have someone with a spine that he can Trust implicitly, Pence nice guy and all but no spine and no sense
Pretty dam simple epa doesn’t have the authority to make laws or regulations they are supposed to enforce the law of the present passed by congress
The EPA is not a governing body in our country and therefore is unconstitutional!
That doesnt stop them from doing it anyway. Only the President can slow them or stop them, or Congress can disband them by law.
@@wnchstrman Biden and his puppets do whatever they want, no matter the cost. Ideology is more important than suffering.
I know it is not quite "Robert's rules" but I absolutely loved Mr Donald's casual, quiet "come on" at the very end there. That one, quiet little moment speaks volumes. He's saying to her, "quit lying to us."
Byron Donald's. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
❤ To Mr. Donald's Very Smart Man... Donald's for future President...❤
Agree 👍💯
This is getting to the point on telling the AMERICANS how to live, it should be a choice.
Good.... Pass a national ‘Freedom of Choice’ bill, concerning abortion. 🤔
@@fanman421 How about a National 'Feedom to Live' Bill?
@@fanman421 if it includes vaccine choice then let's go. that's a reasonable compromise.
@@fanman421 Murder laws are a state issue.
@@fanman421what is the threshold? Conservatives have given a reasonable timeframe on when abortion should be off the table. But that doesn't seem to be good enough...Democrats and the radical leftists are hellbent on performing abortions up until the moment of birth...or even after birth and just drown the child in chemical solutions or leave it be to die on a table. There has to be a point where humanity says that simply isn't acceptable.
There are more witnesses than members attending the hearing...Shameful.....
Byron Donalds is as good as it gets. Great man. Great American.🇺🇸
Keep up the sensible takes Mr Donalds.
The part of the equation that everyone seems to miss is the EPA doesnt want you in a car. They want you on public transportation.
Not exactly their end goal, but for the interim yes. Their goal is to eliminate everything from the world that they deem 'harmful' in any way to the environment. Including you.
@@wnchstrman I believe that for we the people, disbanding the EPA would be beneficial to our modern world. They have not kept up with modern technology or science.
Ain't much public transportation across the Midwest. Ev's, aren't practical in areas of the US, with long distances to travel, and especially in the colder areas.
And they want to control us.
You will own nothing and be happy! (WEF)
This guy is on his way to the Oval Office. America needs him where he’s at now, but in time, he’d have my support in a run for the White House. I’ll need to see his track record when the time comes, but the man is sharp, firm, and smooth at the same time.
We need him in the Senate. That's where the power is and no term limits.
This dude rocks. I've never seen him not bring his a-game.
EPA in other words “as long as we get our lithium, who cares about child slave labor”
Yeah, they hide the lithium in Ukraine and where it is... why? And the fact that in Europe less than a century ago children used to work to maintain the family as much as adults. That's how my parents grew up, it was considered being poor not slaves! 🤡
They work for China. Captured and controlled.
Yes exactly, these so called educated people. Are really dinosaurs morally, joke
I really like this guy! Can't wait to see him proceed even further!
So proud of Byron Donald. He is smart intelligent and brave and speak his mind in congress. I wish he was my member here in my country speaking up and fighting for his people. Byron is the man to watch in politics
God bless and protect you and ypur family 🙏❤️
🙏🌍💚🇵🇬
I love how Byron Donalds subtly delivers a smackdown when the people before him make ridiculous statements. He is the iron fist in the velvet glove. I pray for more people like him in our government and hope he aspires to an even higher office.
Here's something nobody thinks about that I want to hear their take on:
So, we want to get rid of oil and fossil fuels for electric power, right? In order to do so, we need to mine lithium and Cobalt from the ground, right? In order to do that, we require heavy duty machinery like excavators, drills, dump trucks, ETC. correct? How do you expect to run these vehicles without fossil fuels?
It's not about that. These people are heavily invested in 'green' nonsense, and they're using laws to force you to buy the products they personally profit from.
Once the mining is complete, the fossil fuel equipment ceases. It’s a short term damage and the only real environmental damage is a big hole. Nuclear or thorium power could (and should have decades ago) replace fossil fuel energy plants. But the people fighting new technologies are bank rolled by oil barons to scare and lie to the public and buy politicians to keep the oil flowing. Most of what you are told, especially by politicians, is either a misleading half truth or an outright lie.
Not to mention how many plastics in today's world come from fossil fuels. All of them do.
Simple....YOU DON'T!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
It’s okay for us to tell you what to do while it’s harming child slaves
So you promise to never buy gold or Diamonds right? Or shoes
@@MrShanester117 you missed the point
Shouldn't EPA be cleaning up East Palestine, OH and other places where there's been train derailments or the water in Missouri that Mr. Hawley has brought up that's been polluted for years? My opinion.
Excellent questioning of witness by Mr.Donalds. His intelligent and calm demeanor is not only effective but also refreshing. If we had more people like him in our government, we’d be a happier and more secure nation.
Go look up the cobalt minds and see the horrors. Absolutely sickening and all this big companies should be slammed
Well, it's cobalt mines, but I digress. Funny hos Hunter brokered a sale of a US owned cobalt mine in South Africa to China. The same time Hiden abandoned Afghanistan. Another large repository of lithium. Both are necessary for battery production. Interesting.
You will not be able to buy a used electric car. Those Batteries will not last 50k miles without needing replaced. Trust me. Not mention after every charge you get less n less usage 😂
Limited range is a feature, not a bug -- they want you stuck in your village.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 - A 15-minute city is a term coined by Paris-based urbanist Carlos Moreno. It's used to describe an idyllic neighborhood where everything one needs, whether work, food, housing, cultural activities or education, is within easy reach.
You're so full of it. Even The warranties last much longer than 50K. But stick to your oil changes every 3k miles and $80 fill ups if that's what you believe in.
@@selfdefender780 you are not going to keep people at home for long!! Look what happened during the pandemic!! Domestic abuse went up. Suicide went up. Crime went up! Mental illness went up!! What a pipe dream!! Moreno was a nutcase!!! Humans have to be free to travel. We aren't like domestic animals that can live their lives in a pasture or fenced in!!
Its great that she can answer so vaguely but still manage to keep that smug self satisfied look on her face as if she's done something great.
She is a politician! That's what they do . . . speak vaguely . . . mislead . . . blame others . . . all while wearing that mask of self-satisfaction. God help us!
I love that he said "Alphabet Soup" instead of just naming a a couple of agencies, he named them ALL.
😄😄
Cool.
@@anitamooreland-simms3606 He's bold and I like that too. Not too hard on the eyes either! lol
Maybe we should flush the toilet. Oh, the government-required toilets won't flush a turd that big. WE THE PEOPLE ARE SO SCREWED.
You are so right, especially when you consider the Left’s contribution to . cultural/moral/societal rot and decay.
Rep Donalds is very impressive young man!
MOST PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD
ELECTRIC CAR.....
Donalds is a Republican star. I’ve realized the base loves him
Byron doing what he does so very well, bringing the facts and asking very pointed questions that reveal very important things. I love this guy.
If it’s not totally made in the USA and recyclable we don’t need it!!! Electric cars being pushed on the people is bull crap! Drill baby drill!!! 🇺🇸 USA!
I love this guy! Byron is going places and I hope he is successful in everything he does.
When she said the US does mining better and cleaner than other countries ...
He should have said we do oil better and cleaner as well !
Awesome! 👍
This man is a rising star.
Good show, Bryran Donalds. You speak a lot of sense.
God bless Bryon Donalds!!! We need more people like him!
Dreaming EVs will not drop in price
Literally putting the cart before the horse.
I really hope Congressman Donalds runs for president someday. He is incredibly impressive.
Does she feel the "Starbucks Barista attitude" make her believable ?
Just think about all the money these clowns are wasting.
Byron he's a top man
You Rock Byron!!!! Keep fighting brother. Love you.
How come there is only a hand full of people like this working for out best interests... This guy!!! Salute to you!!!
BD nailed it again!!!!!!!
If these individuals are not holding to their responsibility and are making policies that are not laws then they should be fired immediately.
I really like the True or False questions. Very quick and effective.
No long talk or explanations
Love this dude he is always right in the Dems face asking the real questions ....the black youth should not look up to there favorite rappers but to black men like this positive role models...
Ain't it the truth!
Trump/Donalds 2024
Okay to mine minerals in US but not okay with drilling for oil?
This gentleman is repressenting this country like a PRO
Byron Donald’s did an amazing job. I would like to see much more of this type dialogue.
He should of added at the end of that last question “ if we are comparing apples to apples”.
Byron Donalds is a rock-star! He's presidential material for sure!
I'll never buy an electric car. Ever!
She wouldnt answer that last question from him honestly.
Wow what a Fine gentleman, Mr Donalds is articulate, and eloquent. ❤
From what I understand California has one of the largest Lithium deposits in the world. The mine was shut down after we either sold or China figured out a way to process lithium do to a "environmental accident"
Love listening to this man. Very intelligent and someone with a lot of common sense.
God bless you Rep.Donalds😎🇺🇸
Much respect Mr. Donalds. Glad you're on our side!
Anytime I have ever tried to contact the EPA about a legitimate concern, like chemtrails for instance or any other concern, they are totally useless - they can’t answer anything (or won’t).
Just another over bloated, tax funded bureaucracy! The Left loves those cushy jobs! Put the cost on the Nation's credit card!
sure Nance. Go light on that bong....
@@blackrocks8413 What is really interesting is when people say comments that make no sense. My guess is that you ARE a bong.
You all do realize you are watching a UA-cam channel that is Chinese owned and controlled, right???
Forbes is majority-owned by a Chinese corporation, true; but Steve Forbes is still Chairman and CEO, so I don't know how much control the Chinese have, though it is a worry. Forbes is far from the only US company owned by China, there are a lot more including AMC, General Electric Appliances, Motorola, and many others. This shouldn't be legal!
Joe Biden is Chinese owned and controlled.
@@deniswauchope3788 Yes... I know all those and many many more. And Forbes is majority owned and controlled by IWMI.
Also worrisome are things like, and this is just the tiniest snowflake on the tip of the iceberg..... Over 95% of all antibiotics and over 80% of all other prescription drugs sold in the USA come from China !
Smithfield Foods, Waldorf Astoria Hotel chain, farms, 100,000+ acres of oil and gas leases in Texas! The list goes on and on and on...
They are also very heavily into software companies that make video games!!! Can you think of anything they may be putting in there that millions of kids are watching and hearing that might become an issue in the long term??? 😳
@@deniswauchope3788 I restores a bit of my faith to hear from someone else that is concerned about China’s intrusion into the USA.
He's a class act, doing what GOP representatives should be doing. And he's very sincere and passionate, unlike 99% of his party.
That was a brilliant display.
We all know the answer To that last questions sir. Thank you for your service and your common sense.
Bryon Donald's such a truthful man . Not ashamed to admit some of us grew up poor.. but thanks to this wonderful country .. I as well became educated and allowed to thrive 😊
Florida is proud of you! Thank you!
Praise Almighty God for men like Rep Byron Donalds!!
Love those questions from Mr. Donald
These questions are sharp. This man is a gem.
That "cmon" at the end 😂
He's got my vote for president if he ran, he's a righteous force and voice of reason in these times.
defund the EPA. have
I’m proud to say my grandfather’s name was Byron. THANK YOU BYRON!
A brilliant gentleman of honor. So rare, and an entity that has been missing from our psychopathic government's leadership at all levels, for a couple generations now. Always believed this country had the unique ability to seek and pull together such human beings, when the country needed them most. Byron Donalds should be among the next cadre. Wielding power with truth and compassion and striking fear in the enemy of the same. A certain sermon on the mount blessed him as "the Meek", worthy of the inheritance.
This 🎯🔥💯
Appreciate another on point manner of questioning towards a derelict administration who wants to live in fantasy land.
Until they make an electric vehicle that can charge a 400 mile range in 3-4 minutes, I'll be driving a gas vehicle.
I don't care what the government says or threatens.
See how Rep Byron Donalds asks questions in a certain order. He makes sure they can't double talk their way back. That's a master class.
This woman is NUTS!!
In light of Senator Donalds remarks; WHY are Bidden's illegal and unconstitutional "policies" enforced. If Congress is not the authority.
Not only do poor people not have enough to buy electric car but the 💲 cost of maintenance is ridiculous !
This guy is a rock star. He speaks with respect, firmness and gets to the point. We need more like him.
