- House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke after the House passed a set of foreign aid packages, including $60.8 billion in aid for Ukraine, remarking that he would rather "send bullets" than troops to overseas conflicts. Johnson has faced threats to oust him as speaker from GOP lawmakers opposing Ukraine funding.

#MikeJohnson #Israel #Ukraine
FINALLY! I'm not going to praise Maga Mike for doing his job when so many have died in Ukraine while he's been figuring it out.
He's not MAGA. He's a zealot of a perverted version of Christianity. So, at least Zealot Mike did something right.
sounds like entitlement to me
So true but it's got to sting the others who hide behind the curtain of Putin and his lie machine doing his job because he's to honest probably to be turned into Putin's puppet.
THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN, TO MAN UP. WHEN THE HEART TALKS, BRAVERY WILL TAKE OVER ALL INSTINCT. ALWAYS TIME 4 MEN TO CHANGE INTO HERO'S. ITS IN OUR GOD GIVEN DNA.
Well, he did find his b*lls in the end!
Good enough for me.
Let's not let perfect get in the way of good.
Mike Johnson took his 30 pieces of silver
In america today record high rent, record homelessness, record deficits in trillions, yet americas priority is ukraine?
It's a different matter altogether, we aren't doing the fighting so that's great, the money out actually comes back Johnson said 80% to our weapons sector, that's great, employment etc. we don't have to think about that and all it's downstream, that's huge as it is, strong performance for the GDP.
RENT indeed is a problem. Metropoles shouldn't be allowed to grow to be behemoths like the huge cities we have, there needs to be limits, sprawling rather than rising. City planners should work this way, transport and infrastructure should fit correctly, with bias on moving outwards to the suburbs further away. This will take a generation to fulfill, cooperation of the next 4 or 5 presidencies.
@@MyHalcyonDaysAreHere Americans tax money is for America period. Homelessness all over the place now because of record high rent.
A recession or depression is coming, happens everytime housing skyrockets
@@RealD0naldTrump it’s not coming it’s heres and getting worse by the minute.
Also record GDP ($25.5Trillion), Record Corporation Profit ($3.4Trillion), Record Wealth of 1% ($47 Trillion)
The first figure above increases naturally as it should, but the other two figures are skewed by design.
It is obvious US real priority is the wealth of corporations and the 1%.
As a European, i would like to thank the responsible US politicians, not the weird ones.
Let's not play with people's lives again, please?
Thank you
Putin is NOT our friend.
Russians literally get arrested holding a blank piece of paper in their protest.
If you want to know who your real friend is... I'm right here. Let's be a team and stop Putin's imperialistic ambitions
Me too !
And me too
Unfortunately that appears to be their entire objective. They only throw a bone every once in a while to calm people down now a days.

95 billion to foreign countries…it costs $1000 for an ambulance to check up on you for an emergency
But my taxes dollars are not paying for your ambulance ride you simpleton
This is what America HAS TO DO if you guys want to maintain the privileged position you enjoy fiscally. Because America leads the western world the USD is the global currency/de facto earth dollar.
$278.00 per person in America is what 95 billion works out to, for a year. Out of that $179.00 is for Ukraine with $41.00 being a loan and the rest essentially a gift.
Seems like a reasonable price to pay to maintain our leadership position and financial position globally. Good solid investment in America right there.
The ambulance thing is an issue for sure, but the solution is to advocate for progressive policies vs refusing to support your allies and ignore your geopolitical interests.
@@Karlswebb Were you for the Iraq war under Bush?
This effects you far more then you know. From grain to gasoline. Medications. Shipping. We can not allow these lunatics to run this world. Because if they could. They definitely would. Not gonna happen.
It's 10 dollars for a whopper meal
NO MORE FOREIGN AID! $0 FOR THE SOUTHERN BORDER. FOREIGN GUARANTEED LOANS ONLY... AMERICA FIRST 1 BILL AT A TIME
Trump told Johnson not to pass the bi-partisan border bill because Trumpy doesn't really care about the border
So you’re ok with Putin occupying Ukraine, moving onto Poland? I think it’s essential we continue to support our Democratic allies! America must stay great!! Donald Trump talking points Offense!!
@@crash24420Yes let's stay spend our money on the people not foreign wars.
USA NEEDS TO REFORM ITS SYSTEM SO THAT ONE MAN DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO BLOCK IMPORTANT STATE POLICY FOR AS LONG AS HE DID..............................WHAT A MESS!!!

USA NEEDS TO REFORM ITS SYSTEM SO THAT NO STATE HAS THE POWER TO BLOCK FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION THAT BENEFITS USA AND NOT JUST ONE STATE.
No, this is fair.
80% of the money has to be spent in america.
It's up to Americans now, work in the sectors that are actually getting this money, defense manufacture.
USA NEEDS THOSE FUNDS TO SOLVE HIS OWN PROBLEMS .OUR CITIZENS NEEDS SHOULD BE FIRST!!!😮😮😮😮😅😅😅
Hi russian bot
He defected back to America.
About time. If Ms. Moscow Green wants to toss him the Dems should protect him as long as he's not being a partisan hack.
lol, ain't that the truth. Great comment.👏
No doubt temporarily
WHEN WILL HE HAVE TO GO BACK TO MAR-A-LARDO & 😘 KISS THE 💍 RING FOR DOIN' THE RIGHT THING AGAINST HIS MASTER'S ORDERS 😂😅😂
And by America, you mean both parties coming together to fund other nations but not our own?
How about sending us retirees and working Americans some aid. We need help too.
Every American with an income less than 90k a year could use some help fr.
Wouldn't that be communism?
They don't care about us.
my dad got injured and couldnt work, government didnt give him any help. he worked hard for past 30 years straight too. sad
America is rich. There should be enuf money to do both. It's a shame if retirees dont get what they deserve and need.
I want my taxes back.
What took you so long Johnson?? This should've passed months ago. How many brave soldiers and civilians have died because of your delay and cowardice? I hope you will get back on track to fight against authoritarianism in the US and abroad in countries at risk such as Ukraine. We cannot lose focus nor commitment to freedom and democracy.
American people would rather have healthcare for all.
You did not need that much time, Mr. Johnson. You had to please Trump first! Many lives were lost unnecessarily in Ukraine. Better last than never!
How many terrorist have come across our border due to their incompetence?
Where is the US going to get the money to pay the borrowed money to ship to Israel and Ukraine! You’re already $34 trillion in debt… borrow more to help rich people in other countries while Americans are suffering from poverty, hunger and homelessness, let alone the uncontrollable inflation due to out of control government spending and deficit. Shame on you.
HM NOT REALLY JOHNSON'S FAULT. MAINLY TRUMP TRYING TO SELL HIMSELF AND ALL OF US OUT TO DEATH.
This has to be the the worst week in Trump's entire life. It's awesome.
Trump supported Johnson.

So much for healthcare for all….right?

So far. First week of November isn't looking great either.
Dear Americans ... Prepare to get a second job to pay for two wars ... congrats
yeah but Israel is the Christians' baby
It goes back further than that my friend we're still paying for Vietnam
Most Americans already have two jobs they will be looking for a third

Exactly, finally Mike Johnson puts America's best interests first
He could have done this 6 months ago. Every single hour and day matters in a war and he let half a year go by with NOTHING.
Forced into bipartisanship. Good. Leave the extremists in the dustbin of history.
The Cult of Don Don is going to melt over this!

I'm praying this is the first CRACK in the evil SPELL
At what part am I supposed to be clapping about? 🤔
You know the money will go into more pockets.
You should have done this MONTHS ago Mr. Johnson!
It won't matter. That 60 billion will go to more vehicles and stuff that will get blown up along with the Ukrainians manning and using it. You might as well print 60 billion dollars and then set it on fire! Meanwhile inflation keeps going up. I guess you like paying more for everything.
Sounds like you are entirely more concerned with helping people far away who hate us. 5-Stsrs
And yet so many people are struggling in the USA. We have a record number of homeless (a lot of veterans). And our borders are wide open, allowing illegals to come in for "asylum" and just disappear into the country. Shame on you

No..... he grew a single nut.
If it takes 6 months to grow a spine, they shouldn't be a leader.
Yes and I wouldn't take my eye off of Johnson. Sneaky snake who I still don't trust.
No he didn't. He didn't want this bipartisanship one bit.
So much for healthcare for all….right?
Endless pits! They’ll be asking for more and more money in a few months!! Remember that. What ever happened with helping the veterans, the homeless???
His eyes are beaming because his pockets are about to be bulging. They all need to be held accountable
at the end of the day, all they care about is the money they will bank from this.
No? This goes to the defense contractors and supports thousands of jobs/the american economy. I’d like to see 100 billion to homelessness, but the Republicans hate them so that isn’t happening.
@@Karlswebb I think if you could watch where all money goes, you would be as outraged as most Americans are. 9 billion of the 25 billion being sent to Isnotreal, is for humanitarian aid…humanitarian aid to a rouge state that just created a real humanitarian crisis?..it’s blatant robbery of US taxpayers.
@@Karlswebbholy smokes, lay off the crack pipe. If you’re unable to think outside a left versus right paradigm and suspend your foolish belief that your government has your back, you should consider letting the adults have the floor. Only thing you got right was addressing the homelessness. And then you blamed 1/2 of We the People and not the real enemy i.e. Central Banks(fed reserve) and these clowns in office.
"as quickly as well could" what a hypocrite! You gave weeks of vacations to representatives and dare saying that!
Not to mention 3 committees working for 16 month on an "impeachment inquiry" into President Biden.
All that time & money, and still they have not named a crime or an impeachable offense.
Congress costs the American taxpayer $404,000 per day. You do the math on what they've wasted for political theater.
If they just donated to Ukraine what they spent on a GOP "revenge show" against Biden, they wouldn't have to pass a bill.
Depending on america is stupid. You should ALWAYS be prepared to go it alone. The Nationalist Chinese, the South Vietnamese, the Kurds, the Afghans, the Iraqis, and the Ukrainians. The US is a very very unreliable partner.
I spewed my coffee when he said that. At 5:23, I also couldn't believe when he said, "It is the only way we could have gotten Democrats to support aid to Israel." I thought that was a lie.
There were 37 Democrats and 21 Republicans who opposed the aid for Israel. Compare that to 0 Democrats and 112 Republicans who opposed the aid for Ukraine.
I think his negative comments and lies was him "trying" to save face with his hard-right party.
@@kahetiger I used to really like him, I don't think I do anymore...
😢😢😢
Amen. It passed.
While Americans struggle to survive, we send printed money overseas. Crazy! We should always support our allies, our interests overseas but priorities are priorities.
95 billion dollars to other countries while our own country is suffering. Atleast we know who's side he's on now.
the richest 1% in America alone are worth 500 times this amount. Your country suffers because of greed - not because it is broke.
@@kelbatt7729 the elite are making money off our taxes and they have been doing this for years while we live paycheck to paycheck.
Thank you speaker snake in the grass Johnson for finally finding your balls and your voice 👍
Read an article from US last night that 3 moderate Rep members told Johnson if he didn't do the right thing, they would resign immediately (sacrificing their jobs), and that would mean Democrats would rule the House with majority. However, I do believe a part of Johnson believes the threat from Russia is very real.
He didn't find his balls. He just gave into someone who made sense.
😂

Guys, Don Snorleone fell asleep again today in criminal court and was passing gas while nodding off. The judge got a whiff of something amiss in the air and proceeded to pound his gavel declaring, "Odor in the court! Odor in the court!"
It could have been a diaper dump. A massive dump……
Court on Saturday?
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
As funny as this is, I don't think NY has court on Saturday. Are you spreading disinformation?
Mike Johnson trying to put a brave face on his failures and problems and failing, he sounds like Kevin McCarthy, here, biting the hand of Democrats that fed him.
We know he has to save his political skin to Some extent.
It won't please MAGA, but maybe old school Republicans, the ones hiding in their caves waiting for the effects of the MAGA bomb 🍑💥 to wear off.
Hopefully that's a lesson to conservatives that trust any politician just because he says Jesus this and Jesus that.
Speaker Johnson has finally seen the truth and heard the voice of reason that endures and has decided to answer to the voice of moral conscience that was irresistible and has chosen to let the chips fall where they may.
Not so, Johnson is trying to reach across the aisle to work with the Democrats to get something done! McCarthy was just frozen like a dumb fool! McCarthy's only concern was holding on to the seat as opposed to doing the people's business!
Must I remind you readers that I am a card-carrying Democrat! However, I can see that Speaker Johnson, unlike McCarthy is making the effort to govern and get somethings done!
I cannot stand this man’s voice, just like I cannot stand Trump’s voice. But I do appreciate that he helped pass aid for Ukraine.
I'm no fan of Johnson but hat off to him he did the right thing
He has two sons who just joined the military....

Won’t make much difference unless both parties want to suspend or repeal asylum laws. Anything else is just smoke screens.

which democracy? having a military in foreign countries is an occupation, the US military has 800 bases around the world.
As leaders of the free world it is our duty to protect Democracy and our Allies. Fortunately we have learned from history. Those that say let Europe fight their own wars are fools.

Mr. Speaker a Discharge Petition is not something you can allow or disallow.
A Discharge Petition is a majority of the whole House membership going over your head.
Good that he came to his senses. But the Senate Bill was virtually identical. He just had to put some superficial dressings on it to save face and make it look like the house improved on it.
One of the key differences is that the DOD must make a plan within 45 days for how to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
This is the first time that victory against Russia has been proposed. It will be mandated by law once passed by the Senate and signed by President Biden.
I like that a lot more than the previous bill.
You should have done this months ago. How much blood is on your hands?
Better late then never tho...phew!! 😁👍🏼🇺🇲💯

I’m sure Mike will go right back to planning another insurrection.
So jan. 6th election interference was just fine, and tRump’s
Election interference in covering up his adulturist love fest with Stormy
Daniels that’s just the way he is. Lawless and disorder is their new norm. Let’s keep america normal, no more GOP made up chaos. Maga be gone. 💙🇺🇸😎🧢🧢🧢🧢
Finally! But no thanks to Trump's far-right extremists. I despise this man but he has more cojones than the cowardly McCarthy ever did.
Agreed. Again, still don't like him, lot of problems with him, but I believe in giving credit where it's due, even begrudgingly, and this took guts, considering half his party wants to crucify him for doing it.
Its his belief in God
Mike "Cojones" Johnson
Treason!!
Such big, again and again bills should ask approval of the voters, not just politicians. 😮
Nice to hear there is movement. Last time house approved something for Ukraine was +400 days ago. So much for US support for democracy.
We already gave $120B for Ukraine. Support for democracy is not only through sending unfunded spending packages. I love to support Ukraine.
it’s stunning cuz these Republicans voted for record aid to Israel. I have no problem helping Ukraine but why a penny to Israel?? That’s insane. It’s an apartheid state that kills those who are rebelling.
When is Ukraine holding elections? March 31st? Oh wait. Democracy.
Blame Republicans. Get your facts straight.
