One thing that is sad about this presentation is how empty that chamber is and very few of our representatives are actually listening to such important information.
Another aspect of our so called legislative representatives that is a key reason to support and implement term limits. They are not working for us and this is a characteristic that crosses party lines. In the private sector you don't get unlimited time to prove your worth!
Probably the ones don't want to hear it cause either guilty or sick of it. .I've noticed that a lot . Anyone know what reason is. Is this after hours . .good point
Except that Jo.... I understand what youre saying, but we have a ton of swamp scum on our side too. Not one warrant, not one arrest, never a single prison sentence for countless criminal acts that violate federal laws.
Problem is the Democrats in particular don't show up and will continue to stay stupid and dumb but people will still vote them in. Look at the Squad, Schiff, Nadler, Shumurr and they are still there.
Oh my! Please, Folks: Call this man and thank him! Give him all our backing and let him know his work in Congress is well-received. Also, his voice is so needed to be heard more! He is our voice! What a Brillant, Awakened mind. XOXO. Schweikert THANK YOU! We thank you!
Yea, he said a little something,....however,....until they stand up and tell the WHOLE truth, when they tell you who your straw man is, when they tell you how this country, by definition IS a corp-eration, and how YOU are corperation and how we are under maritime law and how everything president since Bush Jr. was illegal....I'm not impressed at all.
Your vote is limited.. your vote doesnt effect 49 other states. The real power is in a convention of states.. that is the only way we can put limits on congress.. they refuse to limit themselves.. a convention of states is the only way our voices really get heard.
@@a4000t When I was a kid, Congress was a part time job. I think they need to go back to it being a part time job. Gives them a deadline to get stuff done.
He's a tree falling in the woods. He's giving a speech to an empty theater. 90% of Congress is universally hated and universally re-elected. His blah blah has no effect on anyone that matters
@@bobbytables3675 I am 76 years old and I have been through many of these recessions and I have never seen anything like what is now happening here and around the world that has been created by the different governments of the different countries.
The republicans will change that when they get the house. They’re going to do away with Nasty Nancy’s vote by proxy rule and make these public servants show up for work !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most of the democrats are staying at home thanks to Nancy. I have watched when they are voting on something. One person will vote for as many as 5 other people. If these people are voted in again and Nancy is still speaker of the house, nothing will change. These people are just getting paid for destroying this country.
*Yea, but, he doesn't pay taxes and should reduce his paycheck. These politicians aren't celebrities but they pay themselves for what??? What have they done to earn ☝️one pay raise. Think about it...When...What do they have to show for them needing a raise.* *NOTHING TO SHOW!* *THEY ARE DOING BETTER THAN WE, THE PEOPLE. THEY MADE US POOR!* *Btw...we only got a pay raise, while, they were giving themselves one pay raise after another, our head was turning* *Politicians aren't celebrities. They work in office for the people and drilled our pockets forcing us to pay higher and more taxes. They foresaw, that, the dollar was decling so the gave themselves raises. As, we were getting poor. He continues to warn us of all their mistakes and expect us to pay higher prices. Yes, his family will have the American dream but our children will continue to struggle. *IF, WE, THE PEOPLE, ARE STUGGLING. THEY, TOO, SHOULD BE STRUGGLING!*
He spoke clear and precise it was unbelievable I thoroughly enjoyed every word he spoke and He spoke in such a way that everyone could understand no matter how intelligent or non-intelligent you were. Thank you
Wow...the first time I've ever heard a politician talk about we need to focus on curing diseases instead of subsidizing healthcare and acknowledging that he knows that by doing that will piss off Dem donors but it will actually fix the budget on that topic!!!!
So many diseases are lifestyle caused, meaning each person needs to take responsibility for the body they're living in and using every minute of every day and night. Of course kids and mentally and/or physically incapable adults would need help, but competent adults....that's on them.
@Timothy Mckee How much money do you need to be considered rich? Well, according to Schwab's 2021 Modern Wealth Survey, Americans believe it takes a net worth of $1.9 million to qualify a person as being wealthy. (Net worth is the sum of your assets less your liabilities.)
@@w1975b covid is a VIRUS, not a disease. IF it was a disease, THEN we could get money for it. We could PROBABLY get a working vaccine for it. BUT - IT IS A VIRUS, so ALL bets are off the table (look up mRNA, there is a WEALTH of information associated with mRNA)
Definitely agree! Congressman Schweikert is outstanding. This is so sad. All the years of worrying that my grandchildren would be impacted. Now, great grandchildren.
Thank You Congressman for telling all Representatives what the American people are going through. I'm a disabled senior citizen and I'm trying to survive on less than $900 a month. My rent alone is almost half of my check. I can't afford propane to use my stove, oven and heater when it gets cold. I live on sandwiches and it's not healthy. Yes, I'll get a COLA raise, but if everything keeps going up in price I'll end up homeless or won't be able to buy food. I live way below the poverty level and if anyone in our government cared they would at least bring us low fixed income people up to the poverty level. It's really sad when we hear that our government is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and other countries. Also we should be using our own natural resources so gas prices would come back down like it was before this Administration shut it down. Thank you for bringing up the fact that older Americans are suffering and struggling everyday. Plus diabetes runs on both sides of my family and yes it's hereditary. Finding a cure for this horrible disease that affects so many Americans should have been found already. I pray that the Republicans don't forget about us seniors and disabled Plus our Veterans when the Republicans take back the house and Senate. Thank You Sir and God Bless America 🇺🇸
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER BEFORE HIS DEATH WROTE .. “I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have a former president, Barack Obama, set up a group called “Organizing for Action” (OFA). OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do. This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America! Obama said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration’s top dogs over to Organizing for Action. OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution. OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for “progressive” change... Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform. OFA members were propped up by the ex-president’s message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished. Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond.” OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-president’s re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA. Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.” Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his ‘wife’ will oversee the operation from their home/office in Washington DC. Think about how this works. For example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; the OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; the ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows. All of this happens from the Obama's signal that he is heartened by the protests. If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years. If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know."
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Well, I'm a MAGA REPUBLICAN, and everyone should have listen to Trump and, seen from the way the Dems have done him with witch hunt after witch hunt and, come clean!

David Schweikert has earned my respect with this speech. Thankyou Sir. Dont stop what you're doing and saying Congressman. Don't stop or give up Sir. You're doing a great job trying to make your colleagues understand the mess We The People are in. Thankyou for that! Thankyou so much. God bless you Sir. Many people are getting beat up due to the Democrats un-American policies. I'm one of them.
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 WE HAD A GREAT ONE THAT SPOKE THE TRUTH ABOUT DEMS AND, RHINO'S BUT, HE GOT TREATED LIKE DIRT BECAUSE HE SPOKE THE TRUTH WETHER IT SOUNDED GOOD OR BAD, HE DIDN'T SUGAR COAT ANYTHING, THAT'S JUST WHO HE IS BUT, TRUMP IS A REALLY NICE PERSON, HE HAS HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE, PAID OFF THEIR MORTGAGES ON THEIR HOME BECAUSE, THEY CHANGED A FLAT TIRE FOR HIM, HE DID THESE THINGS IN SECRET BUT, THE PEOPLE HE DID IT FOR TELL'S ABOUT IT ON YT! YOU NEVER HEAR HIM SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HE DOES FOR INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE BUT, YOU WILL SEE AND, HEAR ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, NOT BY HIM BUT, THE PEOPLE HE HELPED IN SECRET! JUST LOOK FOR IT ON YT, HE HELPS BLACKS OR, WHITES OR, ANYONE THAT NEEDS HELP THAT HE KNOWS ABOUT! HE REALLY IS A GREAT HUMAN BEING, WE OWE HIM A LOT OF APOLOGIES IMO!
This is my 1st time listening to this gentleman how did he get in this position hes 2 practical common sense and intelligence how and intelligence how does he survive in that swamp he has to be going crazy what a wonderful incredible and sensible approach to what's going on And the sad thing no one's listening much
Thank you Mr. Schweikert for standing up for all of us who have been waiting for another American patriot to stand up for freedoms. God is residing in all of this & you’re another kind & loving person who has assisted in this. Many blessings🙏🏼💕
What needs to be done is throw out all the garbage that exists in congress today and get in some new people who will actually do their job. Thankyou Schweikert for your input . Wish there were more like you
REP FROOM Scottdsdale AZ...ease make your charts publicly available! These are exactly what the Public needs to SEE! BRAVO on your presentation! People need to understand!!
This guy has really put a lot of thought into explaining inflation n it's consequences to your average person. That is from the heart. Educating people after the damage is done seems to be the only way people'll listen. Dems promised they were going to do half of this stuff n people still voted for them. Now the reality is hitting them.
This man almost made a grown man cry. He sees us. What hurts though is even with the intelligence, the slides, the patience, frustration, and care this man has exhibited in his time on the floor - it will change nothing ='(
Grass roots mate. He makes us all a little bit smarter and aware while hopefully encouraging others to present themselves in similar fashion. This is the way forward for us to take back control. Time will ease out the stupid as we keep progressing for a better future. They can't stop or even contest against people who conduct themselves like this.
I say you are correct my dear Sir . But I ve also come to the conclusion, that in this assumption - We have now become the Fault, the Reason. To not as a People collectively only send true Representation in elected Patriots, instead of Politicians, we are to blame ultimately. But I think you and I are both here for probably the same reason because we no longer find the status quo to be acceptable and it's not hard to see where our country is going real fast if there's not a Great Awakening among Americans as a people United for the greater good
Not true. I’m a writer and entrepreneur with millions of contacts just on Facebook. I’m going to do something with a couple of points he made in this talk. But here’s what you need to know. There is nothing to do. Just know. Tyranny has a hard time taking root in the light. Think of these sociopaths like cockroaches. And your awareness and understanding like light. Cockroaches hide when you turn the lights on. This works to avoid ever getting into the situation we are in but how exactly do we get out of it? That’s not something humans need to think about. Once there is a critical mass of awareness in society, society acts. It’s instinct. But none of it matters until there are enough people who understand what’s happening.
Absolutely fantastic speech I can only pray that there's more people coming to Washington that knows how to economy works I know that we just don't buy votes with other people's money I appreciate you and pray for you and all those sacrifice to serve your country great job
First time seeing this guy, but he's good. Smart, impassioned, and generally trying to find 'solutions' that everyone can get on board with. Problem is he's smart. 90% of congresspeople will therefore not understand him.
And Regan proved the exact same things in 1980 as he described happened in 2017! Yet, the other side is focused totally on tax and control. Their near-sightedness, despite evidence to the contrary, is just mind-boggling! Sadly, the hall looks almost empty!
I was horrible with math in high school.. back in the 80's. I have learn it very well over the years! This was the best speech I have heard out of anyone in the house! This man nailed it! I want to send the all calculators and math teachers! I am tired of going to bed hungry. Going to work, skipping breakfast. Cause I can't afford to feed my self, my family and my gas tank!
And soon they are sending IRS 87000 of them to audit everyone, as if people not in government have money, only drug dealers have money, and only people in government people have money
These democrats and this democratic potus know math and are intentionally spending us to death. They are intent on killing our Constitutional Republic. We are witnessing a felony murder of “we the people,” our nation and our Constitution. It’s all being done for the New World Order, the One World Government, aka The Great Reset. It is an abomination!
I agree with you Connie all this bad going on since our true president is all by design research the world economic forum and pass on we all must stand together God bless !!!
Vote academically. Can confirm the leftist said the same thing, even those who werent. Just to get Trump out. See how that worked? Nope, VET your "choices" and vote on that. Divide and Conquer teaches your mentality. It does not work.
It's refreshing to hear a person in Congress that s actually telling the truth about what the demon-rats have done to the American people! Someone that really cares about America and the people! Thank you for telling it like it is!!!
Excellent and understandable presentation. Amazing to see how he has a passion for our countries situation and future, and needs no teleprompter. It’s become his mission. Compared to our President - no comparison!
But he isn’t in the administration. Unfortunately he’s in the minority in the House of Representatives (the Legislative branch). He’s been trying to tell the Democrats in the House and in the Administration these facts but yet they ignore it.
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 NO, IT'S BECAUSE HE'S A REPUBLICAN, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH NO MATTER IF ITS DEMS OR REPUBLICANS! DON'T TRY TO MAKE LOOK LIKE HES CALLING OUT THE DEMS BECAUSE IT'S A REPULBLICAN DOING IT, DO YOU THINK A DEM IS GOING TO CALL OUT A DEM, HELL NO! THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! HE CALLED THEM OUT BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO BE DONE, SIMPLE AS THAT! TRUMP CALLED THEM OUT AND, HE PUT DOWN TO THE DIRT FOR IT, PURE SHAME ON OUR PART! NOW WE SEE IT WASN'T JUST TRUMP THAT KNEW HOW THE DEMS AND, RHINO'S ARE AND, WERE! THANKS MR. SCHWEIKERT FOR, LETTING THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT WASN'T ONLY TRUMP THAT KNEW THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND CALLING THEM OUT ON IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY EFT THE CHAMBERS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BARE TO HEAR THE TRUTH THROWN AT THEM, NOTHING NEW, THEY DID IT TO TRUMP ALSO!
The left feels they’re running the show, whatever they say goes, they will decide everything, they don’t need any input because they’re going to damn well do as they please and we HAVE TO abide in all they dictate. So no need for them to show up because we’re just wasting their time because they have first and final say. They have their agenda. So no need to listen to anyone at all! We should just sit down and shut up. Well OUR DAY IS COMING, and payback will be severe.
EXCELLENT - these are exactly the concerns that cause me to lose sleep - and so many people focus on stupid political crap, without stopping to recognize their financial freedom is going up in smoke
The seats are empty because this gentleman has converted house of representatives into the wood shed and the people don’t want to go to the woodshed and get their ass kicked
They Are too busy Spending the Money they take under the table from Lobbyists & Money they have Made on INSIDER TRADING !! They Don't Have Time to Work any More.. Congress & Senate Needs to Be ABOLISHED ASAP...
Wow crazy to see areas near me in my state, 4th on that list…. Can barely feed my kid and keep the power on…. Thank you sir for speaking for us in the middle class 👏
When I received those stimulus checks I felt that they would come at a cost - I just didn't understand how big that would be. Many years ago the voting age was lowered to 18, and now our collective destiny is being influenced by a bunch of spoiled and immature brats who don't understand life as the rest of us have come to know and understand. I say raise the voting age to thirty.
Thank you sir. Unfortunately I believe it fell on many deaf ears. Not because they can’t understand or it’s “geekie”, but because they actually want to do harm to the old and poor and middle class. I’m quite sure you are aware.
I have never heard him speak. I appreciate his honesty and concern that he has for our country. It blows my mind how much shit I worry about now on a daily basis. not that long ago i felt good about my futur and the future of our country. And every since things where switched over in Washington it has been one big shit show . It's really sad to see how bad shit is getting in certain areas and how no one seems to give a shit. all i can do is pray and try to make smart decisions and be observant to what's going on . Sorry I never leave comments but had to after seeing him talk .
He needs to do a Ted talk and/or have a podcast...talk and educate people. He is so right that there is very low economic literacy. Great soul . Glad to have watched this.
@@markbartlett5049 while true it is what it is and we are where we are. We have to figure things out from where we are to move forward. I shared this video to several groups, and one person from hundreds that saw it forwarded it to 20 people, others did as well. It's all of our responsibility now to take these gems and run them through the public. I just joined my local township republicans meetings and will be presenting this information. Be the change you wish to see.
