- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Rep. Katie Porter tells Stephen that she doesn’t take money from lobbyists, she thinks Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is guilty of hypocrisy, and she finds it hard to go to work every day with Marjorie Taylor Greene as a colleague. Rep. Porter’s new memoir, “I Swear: Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan,” is out now.

"And Washington DC is the price that you pay for the fun of campaigning"
Holy shit, this is such gold.
Any time Katie Porter brings out the whiteboard, you know someone is going to get SCHOOLED!
And I love watching the schooling!
I love Katie Porter. She is smart, she is intelligent, she is observant, she is committed, she is a force of nature.
She cant tell the difference between XX and XY
She is every woman……she is fucking amazing.
And I am supporting her for next Senator of Calif……💕👍
I'd vote for Katie Porter in 2024. She wrecks corporations with a whiteboard.
Katie Porter is a clear-eyed, hella smart, level-headed, take-no-prisoners communicator, a wonk, and my hero. She should be president.
she's a slayer
She's obviously intelligent and eloquent. That makes her a threat to the right.
Ya, but her competition is Adam Schiff. I would rather Adam Schiff. I believe she should be the democrats whip in Congress.
No to her in the Senate at this point. Chess move stay there put Adam Schiff in the Senate.
@@Taphfy that sucks, i like them both
Wow! A politician admitted that they need to become genuine people and to start representing the people who vote for them over the people who bribe them! It's about time we started a dialogue with politicians about this stuff.
"admitted" ?
Lol, Porter has nothing to 'admit' to.
She talked about democrats (and republicans but that's a given) who, for example, voted to remove regulations and have made money while in office. _Those_ are the folks who need to admit they understand.
I LOVE this woman and EVERYTHING she stands for.
Touche, true American standards.
Couldn't possibly agree more
To bad common sense just went out the window. She is a hateful person and has demonstrated that over and over again on the house floor.
@@alanking6240 - you are ridiculous.
@@KristinHarger No I am not I just tell people what I observe, Sorry you don't like it but TRUTH MATTERS.
This was too short. Bring Katie back to the show every quarter for a government update. I wish her much success and will be buying her book.
Love this idea!
totally agree
She interviewed with Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers. Also posted on UA-cam.
If there was a senate comprised of "Katie Porters", America would be a wonderful place to live.
😃♥️
Katie Porter is what a congress person should be. We are a lucky country to have her in office.
need more like her
I can't believe Schiff announced 2 weeks after her that he's running for the same seat
An overweight balloon with empty ideas? We already have enough of that.
@@SixSonn If she is an empty balloon and is a lot smarter than any republican out their
They are that dumb could not organise a f**k in a brothel
Thank you van Gogh
We're so fortunate to have Katie Porter in our government!
yes we are!
It’s a shame, there isn’t hundreds more just like her! 🙏
Katie for senate
🐺🖤🐧🐧🐧
Katy for prez
I'm not American but what a great woman. America needs more like her!
Since when, we need house reps that will work with each other rather than criticize others. If she disagrees with republicans then work with them to get a better result. Same goes for republicans. We elect these people to work together not to just go on talk shows and criticize each other. That is what most of these unqualified democrat and republicans are doing instead of working for the people. Porter is not original her rhetoric is the same words as every other democrat. It is like they rehearse it. Let's elect people that can think for themselves.
@@alanking6240 - *You obviously have never watched Rep. Porter at work in Congress.*
*You're so full of boolshirt, it must leak out of your ears.*
I have always loved her way of helping us understand the way the government runs...she is fierce and does not look like a degraded plastic barbie doll wanna be. She is a gorgeous real woman looking out for us!!! ❤
I love her. We need her, fierceness and honesty. By far the most honorable congresswoman than any man .
This is what politicians should be - informed, intelligent, invested in the people they represent and the office they hold. I would love to see KP run for president if only to see her destroy her GOP opponents in the presidential debates.
I would love her as president but maybe she would be more useful as a senator with a 20+ year career. Feinstein needs to say goodnight and let's get on with it.
Agreed
💯
I love Katie Porter and she's an awesome representative in Congress but someone really should consulted with her about the yellow dress, definitely not the best look for her!
💯💯💯💯
Katie Porter is someone America can be proud of.
and I dare some MAGA disinfo spout to come up with anything bad to say about her.
talk to the whiteboard.
I am
She is awesome!
O death wear is your sting, O grave where is your victory?
@@glitch-pr3nr if you are going to quote Corinthians, get it right!
She restores my faith in America.🇨🇦
Awesome: " I AM GOING TO RUN THE SENATE RACE IN A WAY THAT NOT ONLY SENDS ME TO THE SENATE BUT SENDS
DEMOCRATS INTO THE MAJORITY FOR YEARS TO COME." (transcript was in all caps) I hope that she wins. Imagine if everyone in congress was as competent as her. It would be a different country.
There is nothing better, in my opinion, then the picture of Ms. Porter sitting in congress reading "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck" ... it was hilarious and sent an amazing message.
I agree. Nothing like a good book, to take away the boring doldrums, no matter the hour. Her book should have a very special place of its own in Congress. I wish I could vote for her, but I'm in gerrymandered Ohio. Gym Jordumb is not my congressman, thank God! Go Sherrod Brown!!!
Katie Porter is a master class on how to be an effective politician for the people.
Lol……yea if you encourage abusing your staff, OH and your husband……you sheep are pathetic 😂
Love her! Her humor, humility and honesty is soooo needed in the Senate. She has the best energy. Go Katie✊🏾💜🤗🗳️
“It’s hard to go to work every day with MTG as a colleague”!
God bless you for doing just that, Rep Katie❣️🙏
Bingo. She is such a straight, honest and truthful leader.
She never lets me down. She is smart, funny, and engaging all at the same time. I really never get tired of listening to her speak. She is my female Bernie!
Mine tooooo!!!!😁
She has a much larger plate of responsibilities as a single mom to deal with. I soo admire her and wish her the best! IF SHE SUCCEEDS WE ALL SUCCEED, GO KATIE!!!!!!!!
She is my (s)hero !
@@waynetaylor8082I wish she would run
@@LindaC616 My understanding HER hat is in the ring.
Proud to live in Rep.Porter’s district, Irvine Ca. She comes to the community, listens to us and answers our questions, it has been my pleasure to vote for her and she is undoubtedly the only politician I’ve voted for who has actually, successfully represented me and my values. I will continue to support her …
The district she barely won?
@@ericcrabtree7404 bitter much?
@@ericcrabtree7404 She won, didn't she? It was still a red district until she beat Walters. She's more popular outside of her district.
So what? Boebert barely survived her reelection.
@@ericcrabtree7404 In a red district....
Defeated R incumbent 2018.
Reelected by wider margin 2020.
Reelected in what was supposed to be a red wave year for Republicans 2022. By far the most qualified, and higher caliber candidate in her district. The fact that 46-48% of her constituents voted against her just shows how blatantly ignorant they are.
So glad to see Rep. Katie Porter. She's the real deal. Onward to Senator Porter!
Senator Porter!
I like that!!
What has she done since she has been in office, what bills did she write, has she been to the border? Does she support Israel
Katie Porter is a breath of fresh air. I rarely read political autobiography but I am going to read her book.
Katie Porter is to be protected at all cost. We desperately need more public servants like her.
Porter for President
The protection is worth it's price in gold. She's a treat and a treasure. Katie Porter proud American🇺🇸
"It is hard to go to work every day with MTG as a colleague." Amen to that! It's hard to wake up every day with MTG as an American!
She’s great! But most US politicians have a fraction of her intelligence, knowledge, principles, ideals and passion.
FACT!
mtg...
I absolutely adore Katie Porter! We need more like her, and I hope she runs for President one day.
YES !!!
She gets the applause of a rock star, and she deserves every bit of it for kicking ass and taking names!
Because she is a Rock Star.
@@fifermcgee5971 Yep! You bet!
@@fifermcgee5971 You bet she must be in the group Rolling Stones or is she in the group U@. Maybe she performs with Taylor Swift.
She's smart and tenacious! Her work on consumer advocacy is exemplary.
We are behind you, Katie. I sure wish you the best and hope you're successful. And we need many more of you! And much longer time on TV, Late Show!
She's hilarious and whomever has to testify in front of her probably sweats bullets.😮😂.
😂😂😂
Katie Porter will be one of the most productive Senators in U.S. history. All she needs is an office, desk, pen and paper.
Or maybe just a small computer?
@@judeirwin2222 And a dozen whiteboards, lots of pens, maybe an eraser.
How could you forget to mention the whiteboard?
@@kimweaver1252"this decision needs more whiteboard!" 😄👍
One of the largest without a doubt; Just saying.
If regulation wasn't necessary, the orgs getting regulated wouldn't be spending so much money and effort to make those regulations go away.
Regulations are like condoms: If someone is saying you don't need one, you DEFINITELY need one.
@@rileymcphee9429 right on! I'm going to use that one
👏
Yeah, opensecrets is a cool resource regarding lobbying spending by corporations, and it is often to both sides. It's pretty interesting to track which years see increasing or decreasing spending, an tie-in to what was being debated or proposed at the time. Over-regulation can be almost as bad as under-regulation though, but it tends to be in states like Cali and is often more about bureaucracy than actually needed ones.
@@obscurebullshit Best to use those only one time....
Katie Porter is awesome. I am thrilled that she is running for Fenstein's spot so she can become my representative in Congress and I don't have to move to southern California!!!
I like the honesty about behind the scenes in politics. That’s something we need more of.
We need more leaders in our government like Katie Porter
If any of you have ever read the gulag archipelago not everybody wants the same type of government. Amazing as it may seem
An intellectually honest, intellectually robust and solid values driven politician… what a rare rare rare human.
Or what she really is, just another liberal groupthink hack who is a good soldier and takes her marching orders
She performed very badly, in essence endorsing Netanyahu when junketting in Israel. She could (should) have taken a stand against his authoritarianism, but didn't. Schiff has the nominal support of most Jewish organizations, but she would have had mine had she stood up to Netanyahu's anti-democratic policies and Israel's treatment of Palestinians. As it is, she gave up the moral high ground. Alas.
@@davidyohalem629 so the had an allegedly bad take on foreign politics (alleged because I'm not familiar with the issue, just taking your word for it) which is not part of her job (representative) but she has big dubs on everything related to her job and somehow in your balance that means she doesn't have a moral ground to stand on?
Why not judge her merits based on her actual responsibilities?
@@davidyohalem629 when was that before or after he tried to usurp the supreme ct in Israel?
@@davidyohalem629 there is no moral high ground in the middle east. They all have blood on their hands.
I would vote for her in any election. She's who I aspire to be like. 💙
Just love and appreciate her so much. Hope for the nation!
We just gloss over it but her turning down that lobbyist is the key to America’s future.
💯💯💯
But a democracy that relies on people being incorruptible is doomed to fail. There have to be systems to prevent the near occasion of sin.
EXACTLY!!! So sick of corporations buying politicians on BOTH sides!
Big deal, she just grifts in other ways. Why didn't Colburt ask her about her sweetheart deal for her house paid for by UC Irvine while she hasn't worked for them for years, denying those funds for deserving faculty. She should be in jail.
@@jamesfernandez3772 qqing over her being gifted a place for herself and her children to live, vs the unsurmountable corruption she confronts, is pretty damn stupid of you. Pipe down, and put the boot back in your mouth. Trog.
Katie Porter. A REAL HUMAN BEING!!!! How can you not love and support such a dynamic and special person? 💗
Agreed! If I ran across a genie bottle, one of my wishes now would be her running with Jon Stewart for Prez in '24.
If that thought excited anyone else here, say it!
IMAGINE the debates between them and whatever mental giant the repubs field this time. Darth Vader, Tommy Flanagan, Thanos, Putin, My Pillow dude, Roseanne Barr - whoever they pick would be annihilated by them & their intelligence. I can guarantee you that if that was the ticket, they would be too scared to debate them. They would cancel.
Except for Kid Rock. If he was running, he'd be there with his dumb big mouth honestly believing he was the smartest guy in the world.
❤
I like Katie Porter. Not taking corporate money? Good for you.
I love her so much. If only EVERY politician was like her. What a better world and country we would have.
I have immense respect for Katie Porter, both professionally & personally. I think she is just wonderful & we need more people like her, esp in government
#katie2024 !🎉
As a Californian, I’m extremely excited to vote for her in 2024! She will be an amazing Senator!
Hopefully Katie Porter wins the 2024 Cali senate primary and the race
I do NOT want her as a senator. I want her as President!!!
As a resident of her district, I'm excited to get to share the joy of voting for her with the rest of the state!
@@Jack-yw7bq *California
@@bluepapaya77 Me too! 💪🙌👏
so proud she's congresswoman for my district!!!
"Imagine working everyday with Marjorie Taylor Greene?" There's not enough money in the world for that.
I have always loved her! We need more of her, always!
I just love her vibe and trust the passion she has for her job.
"...attractive single woman." Hell yes! Brains, heart, humor, and beauty always does it, but add that pranksterish spirit, and you've got the complete package. Much love to Katie Porter ❤
❤️
Hit the brakes on the word attractive. If she lost 20kg you might have a point. I don’t mind them big but maybe she should eat a salad every now and then.
@cparz I don’t mind a woman with meat on her bones. However in my opinion, when she hits 200lbs there is more fat on the bones than I desire. If she keeps it under 160 I’m OK and she can take a ride on my magic carpet.
If there is one American export we would love over here in Australia it's Katie Porter. She is wonderful.
I am also Australian & we support this message!!😅
She's been fighting for something my vote and I can stand behind.
Go, Katie! Hit those greedy corporations where it hurts!!!!
Wish we had more, many more just like Katie Porter
Love you, Katie. As a native Californian, I am so proud to have you as a representative and will vote FOR Katie as a senator.
Being able to decide whether to vote for either Porter or Schiff (discounting other canidates for the moment) is quite a blessing in a democracy, as in having a true choice between two highly qualified and able candidates!
@@exilhamburger4802 Right! Please include the Great Barbara Lee who is also running for CA senator.
We need more Katie Porters in America, people who have well rounded educations on multiple topics, who are empathetic towards the working class.
I'll never forget her asking Ben Carson what an REO is, and Carson said "a cookie?"
I respect her on so many levels. For not being corrupt. For working her way up the ladder and not taking shortcuts to fasttrack her way to top positions, for saying truth to power, for standing up for the working class. We need more real progressives like Katie Porter!
She’s just incredible and should be revered
Rep Porter is exactly the kind of leader we need. She’s fair and tough on the things that matter.
Well she has my vote. Oh shit I forgot. I don't live in California. It's easy to get carried away listening to her!
Fr
You can always move here. We love everybody, including books! 😉
I feel the same way, however I do vote from Maryland and always support Jamie Raskin!
“It’s hard to go to work every day with mtg as a colleague”. That was just delightful to hear.
We need President Porter one day...........make it happen!
The sooner the better.
Yes please !!!
Katie Porter has my attention anytime she speaks. I wish I had representation like her. Maybe I'll get to vote for her for President.
I hope that day comes!
I like to watch on youtube taking thecrazies apart with facts and logic.
I don't live in CA but I have donated to Katie Porter campaign multiple times. I think that she is the type of politicans that we need if we want to save US from both extreme sides.
As a Californian who is not in her district but has watched her since the start of her career, I am very excited to get to vote for her in the upcoming senate race. We need way more people like her in government.
@@spicycopper2436 There is no extreme left in the U.S. Progressive Democrats are as left as it gets (and these are Centre and Left-of-Centre in all of our peer countries). So, the correct phrasing is that we need more Progressive Democrats to save this country for the majority of the people from the 1%, their fascist Rethuglican tools, and the other Christo-fascists in the GOP.
Just started the book tonight, only 67 pages in and I’m already loving it. Sent my sister pics of 3 parts already even tho I’m giving her the book to read when I’m done. She’s so candid, so open and is calling people out by name. It’s so refreshing, I hope things do change like she is aiming for. We need and deserve some transparency with our government.
Everyone should consider donating to Katie's campaign. I have. We need more people in Washington like her.
Well said, and I will donate to her campaign! 👏
Love Katy Porter. This lady a national treasure.
She is amazing! I was a lifelong Republican and it’s leaders like her that made me open my eyes to how corrupt leadership has become. She holds both sides accountable and it’s amazing!!
Congrats on the awakening 🙂
I'm glad you looked away from FAUX long enough to actually SEE her.
I'm astonished by how many people never even look at what the 'other side' is saying about stuff. Or go to actual source material for fact checks on ANYTHING that aligns with their beliefs.
Thanks for being one of the few.
I’m a Republican however Katie Porter is one of those people who you can respect while still disagreeing with on some issues
@@Jack-yw7bq May I ask what some of the major party issues that prompted you to align with the GOP? I'm seriously asking because I think it's helpful for all of us to know where each of us is "coming from", esp if we're ever going to end the division in our nation that appears to be thoroughly tearing... no, ripping us apart.
@@Jack-yw7bq I do believe that Porter's honesty and integrity when she approaches issues gives her widespread appeal and is going to put her in the Senate. Central Cali is much different than Southern Cali and SFO. Porter has a no-nonsense, practical approach with broad appeal.
Katie Porter most qualified to fill out Senator Diane Feinstein’s post from California.
She knows what she needs to do.
She is an educator on laws and a legal expert !
Vote for Katie Porter. Regards.
There's nothing to "fill out," as Sen. Feinstein has no intention of leaving her senate seat to others.
Katie always gives me hope! Just bought her book and I'm looking forward to reading it!
Good luck. I'm normally anti left but reading books and getting more knowledege is something I totally agrree with. Hearing all sides of a story and having some knowledge of things is always good in my book. Continue your research of both right and left , make your own decisions and best of luck. Ps i'm a trump fan and voted you up.
If you like classic books and that are anything to do with politics the gulag archipelago by Solzhenitsyn is must read. He was an eyewitness of communist russia.

@@biggestthreattoyourexistence Why are you posting that same question -comment on nearly every thread? The OP's account is nearly a decade old.

Aint that the truth. The intelligent ppl are overlooked way too often.

I'm hoping she runs in 2028.
@@thomasthompson6378 There are more women in the US then men. There are more Democrat voters than Republican in her state. So if she loses, the Democrat women did not support her.

Regulations set minimum standards below which you should not go. You are always free to go above them and improve your standards. Therefore, anyone who campaigns to get rid of regulations must by definition be wanting to go below the set standards and be free to do so.

What an intelligent, lovely, witty and powerful lady!
I admire Katie Porter, she is a hard worker and she's brilliant!
Not been watching Stephen Colbert lately but had to tune in for Katie Porter❤
Protect this woman at all cost. She is wonderful. She is witty and brilliant.
Her whiteboard is the congress equivalent of a steel chair in WWE.
I love Rep Katie Porter! We need more like her.
I don’t really know much about Katie Porter but after seeing this interview I will definitely be learning more about her. She has great energy ❤️
We need more people like Katie Porter who are serious, thoughtful, plain spoken, and not beholden to some lobbyists dangling cash and gifts. The fact that there are not more people like her in Congress is a testament to how many Reps and Senators are working for the interests of someone other than their own constituents.
