Rumors are flying across social media after reports that Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is “fired up” and cursing at members of Congress during closed door meetings.
“Move the f***ing motion,” he said, according to three sources who were present.
His emotional response was predictable. Congressman Matt Gaetz and several Republicans on Capitol Hill have been ramping up threats to oust the Speaker for not fulfilling the promises he made in order to get the gavel.
NEW: A fired up Speaker McCarthy, addressing his conference behind closed doors, made clear to his members he is not afraid of his critics forcing a vote to oust him as speaker, according to three sources in the room.
“Move the fucking motion,” he said, according to the sources.

Gaetz responded to the reported meltdown with a reiteration of demands and some friendly advice to his colleague.
Sounds like @SpeakerMcCarthy is having a total normal one – not rattled at all.
Truth is Kevin controls his own fate.
So instead of emotionally cursing, let’s do this:
- Single-subject spending bills
- Term limits vote
- Balanced budget vote
- Release J6 tapes to all
- Subpoena Hunter
We must begin immediately.
Pull yourself together, Kevin!

As Gaetz has noted, much of what he wants done would not pass in the House, nor in the Senate if any of it should make it over the first hurdle. But it’s important to get member of Congress on record with their votes on these important issues such as balancing the budget.
Other promises McCarthy made have not been met. The January 6 tapes should be fully released to the public. Hunter Biden should be subpoenaed; within the same time period under Democrat Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump Jr had already been subpoenaed three times.
It’s long past time for Kevin McCarthy to step up and fulfill his promises. Matt Gaetz and the conservatives with him have been patient, but that patience is wearing thin.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
