LIVE: President Donald J. Trump to Deliver Remarks in Sioux City, Iowa - 10/29/23 and below is the video directly from RSBN which is a great conservative news outlet which doesn't censor TRUMP or the conservatives in the country like how it's done by the left driven mainstream outlets like "CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and yes for some part FOX News." Let's see what he says about MAGA Mike Johnson also taking the speaker of the house job. We here were pulling for Jim Jordan but Mike Johnson is a good option and much better than Kevin McCarthy who thanked Nancy Pelosi and she said she would help him out when needed. So he was without a doubt on her side.
President Donald J Trump makes his 12th visit to Iowa this year ahead of the January 15th Caucus. The president is scheduled to speak at 4 p.m. ET.
The broadcast is expected to begin at 12:00 p.m. ET. Please note: the start time is subject to change as the event timeline is updated.
Like always our President will address the things we need done here in the country, and we hope he is able to speak on these fake charges and indictments against him without getting himself fined again.
Well it's finally happened! The Speaker is picked by the GOP and it's MAGA Mike himself! Yes folks a PRO TRUMP guy is in! Mike Johnson is now the Speaker and this is good news... Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan were my two favorites for the job but Mike is a guy I think will be good in this role also. Matt Gaetz had this to say about this and he's right.
“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.” - @RepMattGaetz
Rep. Matt Gaetz: The Swamp is on the Run
“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.” - @RepMattGaetz
Now to the RINOS I have to say I agree with Matt and hope the rest of these clowns in the GOP are paying attention. I'm a Trump supporter and will ONLY vote for him in 2024. Time for the DeSanctimonious, the Ramaswamy, and the rest of the clown show to now halt and back both TRUMP and Mike Johnson.
You might ask well why is Mike known as being a "Trump Supporter" if you're not familiar with him. Well the most notable is his role in the rightful argument aimed at keeping Donald Trump in power even though he was cheated out the 2020 election as the rest of us know.
A New York Times article last year called Johnson “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections” on Jan. 6, 2021. Which is music to my ears. So with t hat said I think now it's time to think about the next move.
Time to impeach JOE BIDEN no more "Inquiry" or any other bull... That was code from Kevin McCarthy saying "We ain't doing shit!" But without saying. Hope Mike learned we don't want a damn inquiry we want ACTION! Time to remove BIDEN, and HARRIS and stop the bleeding on what they're doing to this country.
Hope Jim Jordan is taking this well I'm sure he understands the GOP RINOS back stabbed him. Hope from here he takes no mercy on these clowns and exposes them all... Anyway here is more on Mike being granted the job of "Speaker."
So Kevin McCarthy just said that Because of Biden’s Open Border ‘We Don’t Know’ if There Are Terrorist Cells in America! Well I can guarantee you that there is. This is what was the plan and in 2024 these sleeper cells will probably mobilize and cause a worse scenario than we saw in 2020 when Antifa/BLM and the crooked left congress, and senate caused all sorts of chaos in the middle of the election starting with the so called "Summer of Love" remember that? Well take 2020 and multiply it by 100% and this will probably be what these people can do.
The Obama/Biden crooked administration is responsible for what's going to happen... Make no mistake about it. This is what they're planning so they could engadge in another rigging of the elections. So McCarthy is 100% correct here but Nasty or Disgusting Pelosi however you want to say it endorsed McCarthy and said she would always have his back, and they seemed very friendly. After all the B/S he spoke publically of her as in "we kicked her out of the Speaker" sort of talk.
McCarthy said, “This is a great fear of mine, it is one of the five steps in the program we need to do to secure this border. In 2019, we did not catch one person on the FBI terrorist watch list and today we’ve got 251. Two years ago I sent a letter to the director of the FBI. He still has not responded. The concern is having an open border, Iran and others know.”
He continued, “We don’t know if there’s a cell currently in our country waiting to come forward based upon what’s happening to Israel and other places around the world. We are at a great threat ourselves and it’s based upon Biden’s policies. That’s why and one of the five steps I thought we needed to take, one is securing this border.”
McCarthy added, “A year ago we caught people coming from Yemen on the terrorist watch list. You understand how difficult it is to get on the terrorist watch list? They come from 160 countries, from China, Saudi Arabia, and we know from history what a few individuals can do and disrupt the safety of America.”
Well after the house ousted Kevin McCarthy from Speaker it looks like the house Republicans voted to make Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the nominee for speaker after an insurmountable wave of detractors forced Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) to withdraw his bid for the post on Thursday.
In a private secret ballot held on Friday, Jordan edged out surprise challenger Rep. Austin Scott, a Georgia Republican who announced Friday morning that he would enter the race as an alternative to the archconservative Ohio Republican.
The final tally was 124 votes for Jordan and 81 for Scott, according to Punchbowl News. It was a disappointing show for Jordan, who had worked for days to rally support, in contrast with Scott who entered the race seemingly on a whim just hours before the vote began.
It was Jim Jordan who initially narrowly lost the first private speaker vote to Scalise which for myself would have been a fine nomination but with his health issues being serious and with everything else he does I think his time left should be spent with what he's got on his cards already and with his family. He doesn't need the added pressure. So while while Jordan may be the party's official speaker designee, it's clear that title means very little if they don't fix the very noticible fractured House GOP.
As Jordan moves toward a speaker vote in the full House of Representatives, he could faces the same fundamental problem that ended Scalise's bid which was not having the votes to win. But I think he is ideal or Matt Gaetz could do well. And yes while I'd love for Donald Trump to become Speaker, and impeech both Biden and Harris and move into the Presidential chair until the next election! Having Jim Jordan there if not Trump helps me sleep better at night.
We saw how some holdouts again rebuked Jordan in a follow-up vote that asked lawmakers if they would support their new nominee on the floor, leaving Jordan with the tough task of bringing virtually all of them to his side in order to keep his bid viable. Bur in Jim Jordan I trust like I said so while some Republicans broke for the weekend without bringing a floor vote on Jordan, extending the unprecedented interregnum between speakers and capping a remarkable week of chaos and infighting among the GOP.
Jordan appeared to lose some backing even after becoming the nominee; Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) said she voted for him but was prompted to reassess her support after witnessing “behind-the-scenes politics” and “backstabbing” on Friday. “He is a great American with strong conservative values, but I am not sure if he truly is the independent thinker and visionary leader we need to deliver for the American people,” Spartz said in a press release. “I will have to assess on Monday if Jim is the right person who will be held accountable to the same standard as Kevin was, or just another puppet for the swamp with a better bio.”
At least three GOP lawmakers have publicly put themselves in the never-Jordan camp thus far. It's fewer than the two dozen detractors who doomed Scalise’s run, but with 217 votes needed to take the speakership, Jordan can only afford to lose support from four Republicans.
It's also a near-certainty that more lawmakers will voice their opposition to voting for Jordan on the floor—particularly allies of Scalise, who remain furious over how the Ohio Republican maneuvered around him.
Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) told CNN that Jordan is a “non-starter,” and Reps. Mike Rogers (R-AL) and John Rutherford (R-FL) told POLITICO they’re also firmly in the no camp.
Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-FL) made it clear that he still wants McCarthy reinstated, writing on X that “he should have never been removed to begin with.
Scott, who ran as a protest candidate to Jordan more than anything else, told reporters earlier in the day that “actually, I don't necessarily want to be Speaker of the House. I want a House that functions correctly.”
“We need to be a House that functions correctly, that means you have to do the right things the right way, what happened with the removal of Kevin McCarthy was the wrong thing the wrong way, not allowing Scalise to move forward was the wrong thing the wrong way,” Scott said.
Scott endorsed Jordan after being bested for the nomination, writing on X that “our conference has spoken, and now we must unite behind Jordan so we can get Congress back to work.” This is something I think in the end most of the people holding out will also come to when they see that spending more time on this would not help the people. So with that said I do think it's time these people get their act together and stand behind Jordan. And to quote MATT Gaetz himself! "It's JIM JORDAN TIME!"
So the house Republicans picked Rep. Steve Scalise as the nominee for speaker on Wednesday, but the Louisiana Republican lacks the votes needed to win the gavel and it remains unclear whether he will be able to win over any of the holdouts.
Some in the GOP do think that Scalise is facing grim prospects of becoming speaker as he confronts opposition within the ranks, a situation that threatens to prolong the GOP’s leadership crisis following Kevin McCarthy’s historic removal in recent days. So until a speaker is elected, the House remains effectively paralyzed following McCarthy’s removal, an unprecedented situation that has taken on new urgency amid Israel’s war against Hamas. Raising the stakes further, the longer it takes Republicans to elect a new speaker, the less time lawmakers will have to try to avert a government shutdown with a funding deadline looming in mid-November.
Scalise won out over Rep. Jim Jordan in a closed-door vote by the House GOP conference to pick their speaker nominee on Wednesday. The nomination was a blow to former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who has made a name for himself as a staunch Trump ally.
But it quickly became clear that the fight over who will be speaker would not be rapidly resolved as a number of Republicans would not commit to voting for Scalise in a floor vote. When Republicans met behind closed doors Wednesday morning to select a speaker nominee, Scalise earned 113 votes to Jordan’s 99 putting Scalise below the 217-vote threshold needed to win the speakership in a full vote on the House floor.
The question now is whether Scalise will be able to lock down the votes he needs, a major obstacle in his path to the gavel. House Republicans hold a narrow majority and Scalise can only afford to lose four GOP votes on the floor and still win the speakership.
McCarthy’s ouster, which was driven by a group of hardline conservatives, has intensified deep divisions within the House GOP conference and escalated tensions. That threatens to make it even more challenging for Republicans to unite behind a new speaker.
It’s not yet clear when the House will hold a floor vote to elect a new speaker. House Republicans adjourned the chamber on Wednesday without scheduling a vote.
Scalise began meeting individually with GOP members later in the day as he and his whip operation try to convince more than a dozen holdouts to back him on the floor, according to multiple GOP sources.
Jordan is also working to convince his colleagues who voted for him to join him in supporting Scalise as Republicans try to avoid another messy floor fight. Jordan plans to vote for Scalise on the floor and is encouraging his colleagues to do the same, the source said. But it’s not yet clear if that will be enough to secure the needed votes.
“I’m not supporting Steve Scalise, I’ll be voting for Jim Jordan,” Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told CNN’s Manu Raju. “Well, Jim Jordan presented a strong plan for a us, a detailed plan on how to move forward. We didn’t hear that plan from Steve Scalise. It was more vague answers.”
Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky wrote on X, “Surprises are for little kids at birthday parties, not Congress. So, I let Scalise know in person that he doesn’t have my vote on the floor, because he has not articulated a viable plan for avoiding an omnibus” a reference to a sweeping package of spending bills.
Later, Massie warned that Scalise has a tough fight ahead of him to secure the gavel. “I think there’s at least 20,” members ready to not vote for Scalise on the floor, he told reporters. McCarthy said that he will support Scalise, but said he hasn’t been involved in any conversations with the holdouts.
“Steve is going to have to talk to them all, see what their concerns are, but I support Steve,” he told reporters. Asked if he was trying to sway any holdouts, he said, “No.” The nomination vote quickly set off a scramble to fill other spots in GOP leadership. Oklahoma GOP Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma announced on Wednesday that he will run for the position of majority leader.
According to a spokesperson for Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, he is also running to become majority leader. A source familiar also told CNN that House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is making calls to members to be majority leader if Scalise is elected speaker.
During the closed-door meeting where Republicans nominated Scalise as speaker, the conference also rejected an effort to raise the threshold required to select a GOP speaker nominee a proposal that was aimed at preventing a messy public fight on the House floor.
The rules change would have raised the threshold to select a speaker nominee from a majority of the GOP conference or 111 votes to 217 votes, a majority of the full House, the number required to win the speaker’s gavel when the entire chamber holds its vote. Scalise has risen through the ranks of leadership during his time in Congress. In the position of House majority leader, Scalise has served as the second-highest-ranking House Republican after McCarthy, prior to the historic vote to oust the speaker.
Scalise is a prominent figure in the House GOP conference and has long been seen as either a potential successor, or rival, to McCarthy. Before he became majority leader, Scalise served as House GOP whip, a role focused on vote counting and ensuring support for key party priorities. The majority leader, his current role, oversees the House floor and schedules legislation for votes.
The Louisiana Republican is no stranger to adversity. A shooting in 2017 left him seriously wounded, with a grueling, monthslong recovery process. Scalise was shot by a gunman who opened fire as congressional Republicans were practicing for an annual charity baseball game.
In August, Scalise announced that he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which he described as “a very treatable blood cancer.” In September, Scalise told reporters that in response to treatment, his cancer “has dropped dramatically.”
And so it's being reported that Scalise WON'T get the job due to not having full backing and is expected to drop out. He's fighting blood Cancer which is no joke. He shouldn't risk health for a job that seems he doesn't care to fight to get.
Personally I think JIM JORDAN or MATT GAETZ Should be the next Speaker of the house... I think either is a long shot but both could do a great job. Time to get this GOP house in order and let's get someone willing to get things done for the country and to stop Joe Biden from his over spending.
So after allowing Sleepy Crooked Pedo Joe and his Crime family to go unchecked for this long finally the house leader and Speaker Kevin McCarthy is directing the House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe "Creepy" Biden.
Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct a culture of corruption.

The House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy again vowed to oust high-profile Democrats Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Ilhan Omar from key committees if he becomes speaker. “I’ll keep that promise,” McCarthy told Fox News on Sunday.
Schiff, who is the chair of the House Intelligence Committee which in itself is hilarious to say since well Adam Schiff has no "Intelligence" in his small pea sized brain. But he just accused McCarthy of pandering to the right wing of his party. “I suspect he will do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene wants him to do,”
Schiff said on ABC's This Week. “He is a very weak leader of his conference, meaning that he will adhere to the wishes of the lowest common denominator. And if that lowest common denominator wants to remove people from committees, that’s what they’ll do.”
McCarthy has said Swalwell should be off the Intelligence Committee because of his ties to a woman who was later unmasked as an alleged Chinese spy, and that Omar should lose her post on the Foreign Affairs Committee because of what he called “her anti-Semitic comments.”
Boy I do hope that Kevin McCarthy goes in hard on these people, and delivers what he's promised.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denied the Republican Party had an optics problem as many members of his conference prepare to vote against a measure censuring President Trump for telling a quartet of minority House Democratic women “to go back” to where they came from.
“I think this party has been very clear. We are the party of Lincoln,” the California Republican told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday. “Let’s not be false about what is happening today. This is about politics.”
McCarthy, a Trump ally, added the president’s comments weren’t racist, urging his Democratic colleagues to “get back to the business of America.”

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who has publicly clashed with some of the liberal freshman female lawmakers, opened up the press conference by reiterating her party’s opposition to them had “absolutely nothing to do with race or gender or religion.”
“We oppose them and their policies because their policies are dangerous and wrong, and will destroy America,” the House Republican Conference chairwoman said. “The issue here is the content of their policies, and we will continue to stand up and fight against what we know is wrong for this nation.”
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana similarly slammed the women for using a press conference this week to push for Trump’s impeachment and spread “false and misleading things from this microphone” about the immigration crisis at the southern border.
“We expressed our disagreements in a respectful way,” Scalise said of congressional Republicans’ relationship with former President Barack Obama.
Trump has sustained his criticism of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, first issued over the weekend. Omar was born in Somalia and moved to America at age 12, while the other three were born in the U.S.
Each have at times chafed under House Democratic leadership due to their more liberal positions, including immigration.
“Our Country is Free, Beautiful and Very Successful. If you hate our Country, or if you are not happy here, you can leave!” the president tweeted Tuesday morning.
