Gas prices are going back up Mr. Dunce!

[isaacridenour]

Wow! How can they just allow lieing at the podium? Reporters need to do their job!

[cavemanfpv]

Fuel is up there big brain!! Lies flow from you...

[ericheld]

How do you know when Jeffries is lying, his mouth is moving.

[cathycarter]

Thank goodness McCarthy is doing good stuff getting these lier and traitors and America haters out.

[kevincantara]

Why don't we tax the hell outta profits our govt employees get by illegally trading stocks based on important information that only they are aware of because of their positions?

[JasRaymond]

What the hell has Jeffries been drinking to make him so delusional ?

[patriciafitch]

Team normal??? Open borders, millions of illegal immigrants supported by American taxpayers...Energy dependence instead of independence; Inflation at a 40yr high; Debt ceiling should not be raised. Cut spending..many places to cut other than SS; medicare
and Vet benefits. Get to work Congress...Cut spending, stop printing money.

The chip and infrastructure I’ve seen absolutely nothing happening in my community to help our roads bridges and communities

[octaviovargas]

We are in the worst economy we've been in a long time. Is this guy living in another world

[bettyharvey]

Looks like that’s what the dems are doing

[kevincantara]

How come we can hardly hear questions being asked?

[margaretelmore]

The government has the debt but the everyday average American has to pay while they still line their pocket. They got a raise but the working class never did. We where never asked about giving billions on top of billions to Ukraine, how about the 37 ear marks they took how much did that cost us, how about the open border the 800. A month for everyone coming across a month. There is nothing business about him it's all personal. Watch and see.

[petermiller]

Buffalo chips! The Team "normal'-minded democrats delivering for everyday Americans? My wife and I are among those, and we're not experiencing it. No one else is either, but, the economy is roaring = delusions of grandeur...

[deborah]

I am happy he is going after their asses.

[bonitapaul]

Why does he use maga as a bad word. Does he not know what it stands for make America great again . The way he says it as if it’s bad .

[annwest]

Spend spend spend that's Democrats record is.

[karenmandel]

You can't run to " report " when you can't get along with Speaker Mc Carthy. It's not good for your character. Honest. You could have done this off camera. It's very painful to not have funds.

[BaxterBlue]

Is this guy BLIND! GASLIGHTING IS ILLEGAL! His facts are more than skewed!

[normanigro]

30 percent up taxes would hurt all usa and cute social security would calpse the world
