We need to remove lobbyist money in Congress the Senate
The supreme court said financing a political campaign is free speech. We have been an oligarchy for decades
Our courts are politicized and most far left extremists
Isn't it treasonous not to reinforce existing law
No. HTH
@StagArmslower If we had true representation that adhered to the Original Intent of our Constitution it would be. But, because there is no true representation in either house of Congress it no longer seems to be the case. With exceedingly rare exception, they've all sold (including Johnson) and are plundering the American people of what remains of what ever wealth remains.
Voter ID. I'm an American citizen and value my privilege to vote. I had to prove who I am when I registered to vote. I want the power of my vote to count.
Non-citizens CANNOT vote -- Johnson left that basic fact out.
True. But, I do think the irregularities in the last election some county election officials manipulated their ballot count to favor their preferred candidate. I'm not surprised. There's always a margin of error with any ballot count in any election. Remember the Florida hanging chad? Local elections are always questionable, as far as I'm concerned.
@@TVstardom- There was no evidence of "irregularities". You should stick to the facts. If an election I close (marginal), it usually triggers an automatic recount/audit. The ballots STILL EXIST and can be examined. This happened in several states in 2020 -- some controlled by Republican administrations. There were also several investigations, both by the government and private. Again, the facts are against your claim. People like Mike Johnson are well aware of this, too, but still push these lies like "illegals" voting in our elections. It's just not true. The main thing is that (like many of the other claims) it's too easy to catch.
Yea Johnson said, but we know that's bull S
@@TVstardom No irregularities were found. Stop listening to Trump's BS.
Voter I.D
fingerprint
How do you register to vote? WITH ID!
@@daysrcdays Fingerprint
He has already caved on imagination.
Ukraine funding was not more important than the border.
He has no leverage.
@Greenwashedhipppie He is a Dem follower on a leash. He has the leverage that the Dems are willing to give him.
He has no leverage because the Republicans only have control of the house of reps. You can't do much with that.
He gave the leverage away, but now is not the time for a shake up. After election.
@@TtowneMs1013 Yup keep kicking the can down the road . It's the uni party way.
This is WHY conservatives don't vote.
Because, even when we win.. we loose
Enough talk Johnson. God Almighty make this worthless Congress do its Constitutional duty. America is in disgraceful hands.😡imo
Maybe you should have held that effin money before you asked that question. You give them what they want, their going to walk all over your ass.
The Republican Congress has done nothing
Uni party
This current cycle? 1. That’s not correct and 2. They’re 1/2 of 1/3 of the government with the smallest majority in history..
Republican Congress sent a Bill to Shumer and he let it sit there for 14 months 🦈
Just a reminder, Speaker Johnson, we Republicans are getting very, very tired of nice words and no actions, nor accomplishments that match the words!
sorry to hear that, maybe vote better? thats what we do in America.
hes a religious fundamentalist that thinks he was put there by god. you got exactly what you wanted.
what do you want? what has the house done/not done that you want different?
No truer words said !
@@ivdg46e maybe vote with his party maybe not try to propose unconstitutional laws maybe not just stand up there and say a bunch of BS and nobody believes maybe not suck.
We're all tired of it. But do you understand that the vast majority of our government right now is Democrat and they will not put anything through that the Republicans want? If not you better wake up pretty quick and realize what's going on
We need accountability in elections, we need to know who is pushing for our American Citizens rights!
It's fact, dem leaders want lenient voting rights. To allow illegals & dead people still on election sheets to vote.
Why has Briden brought in millions of illegals?
Why are dems giving them drivers licenses & social security cards?
To vote with pictured IDs. But not citizens.
I USED to be a Republican.
Now I’m a Rebel 🇺🇸
It's a uniparty. All theatrics.
We might look & or sound like some kind of rebel, but truly we just want our country and legitimate President back !
You mean, you are an American.
These usurpers and traitors are not.
Republicans are on the wrong track... drop Trump and save your partyand its values
@@joannebottcher9779
Certainly not a dem.
They are even Worse!
Vote against and be removed from Office for not upholding the Constitution.
You can close the boarder with one simple word ( Close )
@@TL-io3fd I respect that you are fighting for America, but it is spelled ‘Border’ in America.
You mean on Jan 6th?
@@daysrcdays What do you think happened that day? I’m curious to know your opinion. Although, I probably could guess that you blame Trump?
@@realLetsGoBrandon45 I have a pretty good idea what happen that day! Donald called supporters for a wild rally. They showed up! Donald said fight like hell or you don't have a country! The nit wit crowd took him literally. In the mean time Donald worked with state reps. to submitte fake electors. Mike was to throw out the real electors sending it back to the states. Nit wit tresspassed into the capitol and smeared shit on the walls. Ask yourself why the newly elected Republican congress did not investigate Jan. 6th but investigate Hunter Biden? Why did Ashli Babbitt go to DC? What was she trying to do in DC and for who? What did Ashli die for?
Johnson has BS down pretty good.
Explain, please. What did he say that you categorize as BS?
@@MamaMC4950 They're either a bot or too incompetent have meaningful dialogue. Just empty noise
@@ivdg46e Care to add something useful?
@@MamaMC4950
Johnson had leverage to fix the border when the Demicrats were asking to fund Ukraine.
Johnson did not get anything in return for allowing the Ukraine aid bill to be voted on.
This press conference rings hallow at this moment in time. He has no chance now to fix the open border before the election. His words at this press conference are too late.. Empty. No one of importance is listening.
The BS description is because of the high expectations of what Johnson said after he became Speaker and his about face on several issues.
please do tell what is wrong with voter id? we all have a real id or a drivers license.
The Constitution states that CITIZENS will be allowed to vote in elections. You don't NEED another law. The Constitution mandates that voters are verified to be citizens of this country!
The short answer is Yes......their voting in New York and California........so Yes
Also in Arizona. They have to change and not let them use regular state IDs. We need vote IDs issued to citizens and or legally registered voters for election integrity
They can't vote for President.
So how do they do it? Steal republican ID'S to register?
STOP ALL FUNDING THAT IS YOUR JOB AND YOUR DUTY TOO SAVE THIS REPUBLIC
STOP ALL FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ALL AGENCIES AND SHUT THE BORDER DOWN WITH NO FUNDS.
So stop all Federal monthly support checks to the elderly retired???? I guess you will cover the checks?
If the federal government can enforce an 18 year old age limit, than it can also enforce a citizenship requirement, including local and state elections. No excuses.
Anyone that took an Oath to the Constitution either vote for it or against and live with the consequences.
And we are duty bound, you know, I mean, these people have lost the mission statement.They're trying to throw away the constitution
Are you sure Jhonson is a Republican 🇺🇸❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
I am reminded of Roman...which was not destroyed by one enemy but by the lack of enforcement and scruples of citizens of the Roman Empire... Welcome to the USA...
Get it done!!! Enough lies!
All say, and no do. Time to vote them all out.
Voter I.D.
Everyone is so hell-bent on protecting the right to vote. No one is paying attention to the fact that if a mass of people are voting that aren't supposed to be, it weakens every valid vote. Stopping people from voting illegally is just as important.
10 thousand dollar fine for illegal voting
TURN OFF ALL $$$ and keep IT OFF until the Army shuts down and ejects the invasion.
Just approve the bipartisan border bill. Border Guards are in favour.
All he and the rest do is talk. Do NOTHING!
Why is no one talking about voter I.D. ? All I'm hearing is talk about a law that says don't vote if your not a citizen. Or you get in trouble. After the fact ! It's B.S. too late . After the fact.
I agree voter ID
How much is the voter's ID going to cost? I'm a poor college student on SSDI. I can barely afford to pay my bills. What do I have to do to get a voter's ID? How do I prove I'm a citizen?
@@hippoAutwell
You'll be fine with you S.S. card and your I. D. card . As far as cost ??? That hasn't been thought up yet. I'm of the thought for some or most , it should be free.... but how much is our country Worth to us.
@wthefrek , I don't know where my ss card is. Will that affect me getting a voter ID?
Where do you think voter I'd is not upheld? Everywhere I have lived and friends and family live have to prove identity with photo ID to register. And some polls have not asked my ID card but do verify all my info before I vote. And see me drivers license before handing a ballot. Lies are easy ! You can sow doubt in anyone if you sell a lie really hard with passion. Number one rule in sales. Have pretend passion for the product. Number 2 make people believe it's in high demand even if you haven't sold even one ! NUMBER 3ake out your product is the best newest greatest thing. These are how sales people make sales and why you can't trust people like this . They are just con artists ! Politicians are the same!
It can't wait til November.
And Johnson really wants to just write off 2020 as, "ah well, let's just move past it!" That's un fucking believable.
Proof of citizenship is not a burdensome request unless you are trying to cheat, and proof of who you are (driver's license, Work ID) should be a 100% must in every city and state. Anyone who can't meet these simple requirements didn't try hard enough to meet them and should be denied the opportunity to vote.
This shouldn't even be a question. I don't vote in other countries. Illegals better not vote in mine.
F'ing ridiculous this has to be voted on and debated especially at the 11th hour after millions have migrated. WTF ???!!!
We shouldn't even be talking about this!
So DISAPPOINTED in Johnson
Get rid of Mike
He has proven he is untrustworthy
Ok Marjorie.
@@karahupp4589johnson talks a good game but votes the other way
Exactly didn't Johnson say no Ukraine money until our border closed. Ukraine got money out border still open
You cannot get rid of him rn, you may get someone worse.
@michaeld9682 Who is gullible enough to believe his theater after the foreign aid bill fiasco??
Amen!!! Speaker Johnson and believe
that the National Guard should protect
every States voting precincts from all the
illegal immigrant violent protesters from American citizens voting. Thank you Forbes news for bringing this footage to America
The National Guard should protect the Capitol after the election.
@@les0101sPelosi sent them away.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 Ha-Ha. No she didn't.
What does it take for any adult to vote? Or drive? Or get ss numbers?
Many many forms of id and proof of everything.
Any person still thinks a person with no id is showing up at polls and voting- is the absolute opposite of sensible or smart.
C'mon people... be smarter
@Kimm.J C'mon people... be smarter
You be smarter too.
People showing a driver's licence as an ID and allowed to vote? Look at your own Driver's Licence, does it say anywhere that YOU are a US citizen??? NOPE. You are talking nonsense. Be smarter
Somebody, the other day stated on this website that in his state you can show a utility bill to prove that you are a resident and that let's you vote. On your utility bill does it say that you a re a citizen? NOPE. You are talking nonsense. Again. Be smarter
Why do you think this is an issue then? Because there are states that are wanting to allow it
It is not allowed. People creeping over our border taking money from hard working taxpayers is the crime here. Never allow them to vote! They know nothing about our system other then we give them $$$$ and things. I say a big fat NO! Move em out. Voter ID!
The House is NOT doing enough! Work harder! Raise money for Trump and for new Republicans! And permanently tell the people you will secure the elections! All of them! You need to determine what is the best way to vote and not now…should have begun four years ago!
WRONG ANSWER!!!
Mike knows that non-citizens CAN’T vote.
Bah ba all talk Rino🦏
when exactly did Johnson become a commie in your mind?
Bunch of traitors.
Non citizens you missed spelled illegal aliens
Just make it a state law and let the states take care of it
Totally agree!
Where's the tribunal courts to uphold our law's already 😢
As a Canadian i should be able then to vote In November when i come to visit. And Dems won't like how i am going to vote.
What the heck, how is this even a question? How is this all even happening y'all? Why is the percentage not 100%? Of course you need to be a citizen and have an ID!!!! Who would not want that, I mean we know who would not want that but I'm just saying. I thought that was the law already
This is bs all if you are full of it
😄
Cut money OFF until you get your way. You can do that without a bill.
So you can find me if I don’t file or under pay at tax time, but can’t have a system you can track who’s voting….?!
Stop this corrupt administration are we Venezuela.
It takes an act of congress to get congress to act. MTG was on to something, she's still my hero.
Stop the money to tyranny
I will be suing them for over 200 trillions of dollars for attacking me on American grounds every day year for over 49 years now and still going
If the law is being broken or ignored or blatantly disregarded. Why NO ARRESTS. I Speed I break the Law and I am prosecuted. Put them in Jail or issue court dates.
Talk it to death government! We the people need to stop paying federal taxes!!
Shame on you traitor.he should resign immediately.Trump 2024❤
I just did early voting yesterday and I had to show identification, my drivers license. Before that I was asked my name and address, then identification.
The Democrats will never let you go through!!!!! Only way the Democrats can keep power.
Vote The Save Act In!
IT SHOULD BE CALLED THE RHINO ACT THERES TOOO-OOO-OOO MANY RHINO'S 🦏 IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Speaker Johnson has done his job in the House. The Senate now has to agree and pass the same bill. Senator Schumer refuses to act and bring these bills to a vote. Politics at its worst. Vote while your vote still counts!
Speaker Johnson is doing an OUTSTANDING JOB!!! I’m thankful for every right thing he stands for!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Translation I won't answer with a lie any one can prove is a lie!
Necessary legislation but Senate will not pass it and if they did; Biden won't sign. What can Congress do at that point, what recourse?
We MUST have secure elections. Verified One legal Citizen of the U.S., One Vote. We must know WHO IS VOTING. We know why our border is WIDE OPEN. We know.
Someone got DIRT ON MR J 😮
DIDDY? LOL
He's not even a good liar.. smh
No one should be asking if job citizens are voting in large numbers.
JUST MORE TALK WITH NO ACTION AS ALWAYS BY POLITICALS STILL GOING ON !...
WHAT BILLS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS BILL !
Nothing yet, it will be changed in the Dim..wits hands
@@TtowneMs1013 well then that what we all need to be watching . how ever i dont trust the right wing any more then the left . right wing left wing attached to the same bird .
I do not trust Mike Johnson. He says a thing and appears to do the opposite.
WE. WANT. THIS.
America has turned VERY week!!
Johnson is a jerk he must be replaced now
I don't believe you. I believe Marjorie Taylor Green
Yup. Two , three , or four times.
I saw the 110 dollar check to do so. The entire crew took the whole day off to vote. You would think that since this happened in 1980's they got it right since then.
"We all know intuitively" means "we all know what we want to believe."
This is VERY IM]ORTANT
They ignore the law, so why aren't they arrested?
Need to answer better correct
Get this girlie Mikee Johnson out of our Government!
Get Mike the rino out please.
Johnson, DO YOUR JOB OR RESIGN. 60 BILLION TO LINE BIDENSE POCKETS, HOW MUCH DID YOU GET?
We want it!!!!
Should be interesting to see who votes yes and who votes no….
Do nothing Speaker. All talk no action
They’re definitely voting.
Can citizens request their state to provide proof of each voter's citizenship?
Hes part of it
So how about the US Citizens in the Territories? would they be allowed to vote?
Disseram que eu iria dançar conforme a música...mas a música é benção de Deus contra espírito do mal.
Recount the votes of 2020
👸"I can't believe how anyone would think that Congress wouldn't do the job it's sworn to do"...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Amen!!!
How come you can agree to help other countries secure their borders ?
P the problem is they’re importing voters. And no one’s doing shit about it.
please do tell what is wrong with voter id? we all have a real id or a drivers license.
if you are citizen, then vote, non citizen can NOT vote in the USA
Agree
No benefits allowed
Which you fully fund. Open borders. Fully funded by you.
He got impeached? When and who replaced him?
60 billion to Ukraine and 0 to SS . Let’s fund Ukraines pensions but not ours!!! Thanks Mike! Thought you were on Americas side!!!
