Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., spoke on the House floor to discuss a short-term funding bill proposed by Republicans that would avert a government shutdown. Jeffries argued that Democrats needed more time to review the legislation than they have been given before voting.

#HakeemJeffries #Government #Politics
Democrats are worthless…
Not as bad as Republicans. They have past no Major legislation since taking the house. They can’t even agree on basic policy internally. It’s disgraceful and completely against the oath they took. But I wouldn’t worry. It’s pretty much guaranteed at this point that the Dems will have both chambers and the White House pretty soon. And Republicans will have no one to blame but themselves.
Jeffries is a great leader!!!
Next Speaker of the House!
he is a republican. fitting
Amazing Ocacio Cortez
Background ❤❤
Blame MAGA and Trump because these buttheads were the ones that started it. We were forced to trust the crooked Democrats on Obamacare that Republicans didn’t have a say in it!
Something is wrong in America when we have to go to the edge of the abyss and then pull back every time there is one of these budget debacles.
The next speaker of the house 💙🇺🇸💙

So eloquent and consistent!!! Love to hear Mr. Jeffries speak.
Why is America always helping Ukraine when will we say enough is enough & tell your Europe to step up
I AM A PROUD CUBAN MAGA EXTREME REPUBLICAN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 TRUMP 2024 !!!!!
This Obama wanna be 😂😂😂😂😂
ههههههههه لا 😢😂
Kevin McGarthy Country man not weak don’t open the Government shutdown Biden need money for Ukraine war fix the border we need money for border
Jefferies, Democrats I’m very disappointed in you for doing this 45-day bill with the house if I read it right you want to cut 30%
This is the picture of a real leader. The American people have suffered enough. Thank you, sir, for being mature and reasonable. We’ll pray for those who don’t get it yet. American belongs to all of us.
we have suffered, suffered from bidenomics, suffered by sending massive amounts of money to ukraine and FINALLY republicans are saying NO, NO MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE!
A real Congressman.
I don’t care for mr Jeffries but i love agreeing with him most of the time 🤙
With God, all things are possible. As usual, I stand corrected. This feels like a miracle. Thank you for considering the most vulnerable among us. Please, remember our Ukrainian friends down the road. I’m proud of Democrats. 😊
He’s doing this on purpose. He’s stalling so Dems can read the bill. Listen to how quiet the claps are. Most of them aren’t in the room.
Silver tongue
Good man
We must keep helping Ukraine!
this country needs to heal needs to heal bad
Pelosi did this all of the time so I don’t know why you would be surprised republicans would use her tactics!
Tired of Democrats saying they’re the people’s choice! We could have had our Government paid for without the dramatics. We were funding our Government yet Democrats and Rinos want to fund Ukraine or force Government shutdown that would hurt the American People. So much for Government Care for The American People .
I’m tired of anti-American, pro-Putin trolls like you.
Ever feel like playing in traffic? Go on, it’s fun!
Ukraine funding was literally a small fraction of our military budget, but yeah, THATS whats bankrupting us! 🤣🤣
@TheCool Guy23 It’s bigger than you think. We can use our money to pay for another’s country to protect them. But we can’t pay for the protection of our country.
Great job Jeffries 😊 💯💯💯💯💯💯
I missed speaker pelosi who always hammering EXTREME MAGA GOP CROCS.
I love what this man has to say but I really wish he’d stop with the Sign Language. All that hand movement is Distracting. It’s ok to do that to emphasize something important but constantly waving your hands around for every word is a bit much.
I like him.
Hakeem lying Jeffries, storytelling time.
Democrats are fully against paying our military during the shutdown. Democrats want America vulnerable.
What a a turd these democrats delayed this even going as far as pulling a fire alarm this all comes down to these idiots wanting money for Ukraine and how about we spend some money on America border dummy
This man knows about all the Biden family corruption. How he can get out there and keep a straight face is beyond me.
Yes, we all see who you are and that you have wild conspiracies in your head
@D H It’s all the truth. Just use your god, Google it.
@D HDo a search on here with FBI whistleblowers.
Wake up people, democrats are destroying your country.
Hilarious, you mean like when the house drinker. (pelosi) said just vote for it and you can read what’s in her 2,000 page inflation bill. Cry me a river Jeffries.
They approved money for the Ukraine and no money for the Homeless/$100 Billion for Ukraine and not one dollar for America’s Homeless! They all think more about Donald Trump and never about America’s Homeless and taking care of the refugee’s problems in South America– so they would not have to come to America! but our Father in Heaven sees this and soon the whole United States and Canada will pay for the 400 years of blood shed by the slaves and injustice in the Americas by making America uninhabitable as our Father will force all of America to tear the wall built by Trump to get our of America in mass for survival! Today’s Congress will end America as a nation with a Constitution!
We deserve better. We need to vote independent and wash the room
It’s just a little extortion…
what could go wrong 🥺
Not like Pelosi, you have to pass it to see what’s in it, or is your memory that short?
Your not very bright😢
Jeffries really needs to run for president and lead our country 👏🏻
@ MAGA cult 👏
This guy is a bloody liar.
don’t support Zi0nists
You are crazy
He needs to run out of the cuntry.
Jefferies, a man of wisdom and truth. He would make an awesome
Speaker of th House…!!!
McCarthy is a MAGAT puppet.🤢
I think Rep. Jeffries meant to say this shutdown was avoidable. It was completely avoidable. Now … we have six weeks before this all happens again.
What a disgrace all the Democrats have become.
This is the GOP economy, They are doing everything they can to HURT America.
Vote them out!
Jefferies for future President!
Kevin is the second person in the line of succession in the USA,the greatest power on the planet. Kevin has been treated like garbage by the maga people!!!
Ya mean like the obamacare bill?
Alright ❤👍💯💐👏
Better than Obama or a tie?
And what was Jamaal Bowman thinking🤣🤣🇺🇸
As a former Democrat im appalled!!!
HOW MUCH did Republicans SPEND over the years the US fought in Iraq & Afghanistan? Were either PART OF NATO? NO! So how much US taxpayer funds & LIVES were wasted! Support Democrats & democracy!
Representative Jefferies. A stand up man. We need more like you.
meh. he is in the pocket of AIPAC and Zi0nism… I will pass
WACKEEM is a 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Democrats and Republicans actually working together on something (albeit temporarily)? What a concept!! 😏
0:01
HOW DARE HE HELP REPUBLICANS❌🤌🏻 JEFFRIES MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE FOR BACKSTABBING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY❌
Well, you could always accept DAA party… DAA = Destroy America Again party.
He’s fabulous! So proud to be a DEM for my 72 y e a r s
i guess born a fool die a fool
@desmond hughesThe Fool is applauding losing the country because of the Democrats and if your white your race will be erased it will be us blacks and the Mexicans because of immigration but I guess the Democrat lover never thought of that in his or her 72 yrs living smh
@desmond hughesYes, you probably will.
Wow you’re admitting you are a racist. The party of the KKK, and Jim crowe laws.
Why can’t we get Jeffries as speaker? Please….
Vote blue. We will💙
Vote for democrats
The Republicans control the majority at this time. He can run for Speaker next time the Dems have the majority.
HAYYY!!!
PARE-PAREHONG MAGALAW ANG MGA KAMAY PATI MGA MATA!!!
HOKUS POKUS!!!
SUMABAY KAYO SA KANILANG MGA PLANO!!!
HALATANG KAMPON NI SATANAS!!!
WALANG LIHIM NA HINDI MABUBUNYAG!!!
NASA BUNGA, RESULTA AT GAWA, HINDI PURO MATATAMIS NA SALITA NA MAKIKITA MO ANG TUNAY NILANG INTENSYON- MALINIS BA O MASAMA!!!
So nothing got done and demoncrats held the congress hostage until they got their 10% for the big guy and spineless Kevin folded?
Blame the Maga Republicans. Americans aren’t that stupid, boy.
Yes the American people deserve better, close our borders.
Great content.Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It’s kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major pump at the peaks of BTC. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is ^less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 11 btc from day trading with JOEL MILNER insights and signals. this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish..
I lnvested across the top markets but not by myself though. I also follow the guidelines of Joel milner. I can correctly say he is worth he salt as an investment advisor as he diversification skills is top-notch, I say this because of the results, as my portfolio grows by averages of 20 to 30% every month, unlike I can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what he places and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.he gave me that financial freedom I needed.
That’s great, your lnvestment advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financially stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
@joelmilner
He’s popular over there
in the internet!
The right person to run to for investment is Joel Milner, my portfolio is about 6m$ since he started investing for me, started off with 600k. The secret of any successful journey is working with the right team or person.
I went to look up this person because i was questioning the integrity of all this, surprisingly he seems really proficient, I thought this was just some hyped-up BS or Advert, I appreciate this.
Thank God for real leadership
Sorry I can’t get over AOC 🔥
Listen to his mouth just goes to show your liberalism is a mental disorder a disease of the brain
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Is The Truth.
“If we send a few more BILLION to Ukraine. Our spending will work itself out.”
Slava Ukraini
We spend trillions on defense and not support a country defending themselves from our enemies ?
Hey MCCARTHY U ARE GUILTY
FOR SHUTDOWN LIARS TRAITORS
Hey MCCARTHY U ARE GUILTY
LIARS TRAITORS
Never Vote Democrat he’s lying 🗣️
Kevin mccarthy should be removed as speaker
The magat-fascists are doing everything they can to destroy our country and all for tRump & Putin. They are insurrectionists & traitors. Vote Blue all the way!
Republicans want to cut spending and democrats want to spend more and tax you more for democrat pork spending.
Republicans want to cut spending and CLOSE The BORDER LIKE RIGHT NOW, but democrats want to spend more, and have open borders
Joe Biden spending billions of dollars on other countries borders but can’t protect are borders
Joe Biden green new deal 4.00 per gallon gasoline
I miss Trump gasoline prices 1.79 per gallon gasoline, propane. 99 cents per gallon, hamburger on sale 1.99 per pound, eggs 69 cents, border security, NO NEW WARS
Will be nice when I can turn on tv and not see t-rumps big fat head.
You must have been in another country or you were in a coma those prices are from the 1970’s
Miss Trump haaaaaaaa!
the real news story is Joe Biden and his crime family members getting millions of dollars from China and Russia and other countries from crooked deals
Joe Biden is a war monger
Protecting America is NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. Mr Jefferies. That is a neo liberal point of view. Yes does it make us stronger. But at what cost. We bend to more international views. We need to go back to isolation and not get drawn in to conflicts. Mr. Jefferies serve better. Stop serving K street.
MAGA’s make normal terms a bad thing so my question is why? why? do MAGA’s think that by-partisanship is a bad thing when its the only way government can work?
Here, it uses black face to sway black voters. He acts as if he has something in common with black Americans. He holds Americans hostage for racist Ukraine and illegals. But what does he care. He makes 230 thousand a year.
Why would anyone believe this black racist
Hakeem Jeffries would be an outstanding Speaker.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. The next Speaker of the House? Yes, please. 🇺🇲
When they say maga , do they know what that means ?? Its a bad thing ??
This speech is all a show , its his time to shine , government is such a disappointment
Haha you guys are experts at going around the process. Stop saying Maga you sound stupid . You keeping founding Ukraine is extreme . Everysingle clown behind you has done nothing good but destroy this country
GOP finally did something . All Americans I talk to are tired of the money leaving our country and heading to the uKRAINE. We have Vets on the streets here needing help. Keep thif fight up . Im not a democrat or Republican but will not be voting Democrat because of the garbage they are pushing nothing but Sociaists.
Literal brinksmanship. But at least it isn’t as screwy as the MAGA criwd usually is. This is routine dysfunctionality.
Our crdimet rating is eventually doomed anyway. We will lose the ability to lay interest on our debt eventually… that is a mathematical certainty. And nothing can change that? So is it really a good threat? To speed up what is invitable?
Sure, 44 more daze and do it again?😂
WE LOVE YOU JOEY BIDEN!
Higher prices and taxes please Joey!
And more children to molest!😂
Ocosio looks wow here. What a woman. I probably need to make at least 200k to date her
What a distraction, a speech of nothing filled with buzzwords.
Hakeem Jeffries hates our country
Dude is a joke
Not even from California
