Papole1 - Katie never asks a question that she doesn't know the answer to.... so the person questioned had better do their homework before the show up.

@@macforme damned straight!

I agree! But, I would love to see her clean up all this wasteful spending first ! & get rid of the lobbyists!

Mine too.

She has my vote too. @Kimberly you are so right. I wish there was some way Katie & her brain trust staff could go through so much more AND get it fixed. It’s funny how the GQP can ‘find’ money to pad their rich friends’ wallets; however, when the public asks for a national healthcare plan, the GQP scream, rant, & rave about it being a socialist program that’s UnAmerican. Of course they also claim the country is too broke. In other words, 1: we shouldn’t make certain our veterans are properly cared for even though these brave men & women volunteered to join our military; they signed up to give their all, even their lives to protect this country. 2: politicians are the only ones who deserve the best healthcare, not US citizens who live paycheck to paycheck, often working without ANY health insurance because they can’t afford the premiums & they certainly can’t afford to pay out of pocket. 3: the GQP scream at the top of their lungs that national healthcare is socialist. It’s not! It isn’t the definition of socialism. The UK is a democracy. Their citizens pay a little higher taxes; however, they don’t have to fear going to the doctor because they can’t afford the visit. Healthcare for all would drastically reduce the number of citizens becoming disabled bc they couldn’t afford healthcare.

👍

I am thrilled to be able to voite for her for the Senate

Me too, Girl. Mee too!!!

Right now. Do it, Katie. I know you'll win if you run.

The sooner the better

They were pretty good sports, tbf. They could easily have refused to play the game.

I think that wanting to win the game made them less likely to lie.

I know, I was somewhat impressed.

I was amused that they played along. It was actually very sporting of them to do so.

At the end of the day, if I’m coming into a hear, and someone who interviews me comes in with a jeopardy board… I now know she isn’t playing because she took time to either make it or have someone make it, then researched the topics, and answer. Because I’d your going to whip a jeopardy board, your going to make sure it’s factual. I will know she has the right answers under the card, so my answers better match.

while not for elementary school, she was a professor for a while, she's been quoted talking about how she thinks a whiteboard is a great teaching tool

She wasn't an elementary school teacher, but she was a law school professor.

@@ReyosBlackwood Porter was an associate professor of law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Law. In 2005, she joined the faculty of the University of Iowa College of Law as an associate professor, becoming a full professor there in 2011. Also in 2011, she became a tenured professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law. In March 2012, then California Attorney General Kamala Harris appointed Porter to be the state's independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement. As monitor, she oversaw the banks' implementation of $9.5 billion in settlement reforms for Californians.

@@RaymondHng Yes, which makes what I said correct. She never taught grade school, she did teach law school. I dIdn't need to give her whole CV in the response.

@@ReyosBlackwood There’s different levels of _professor_ in higher education: adjunct professor, associate professor, tenured professor. The distinction should be made apparent.

I would of liked to see her and Bernie Sanders run the show. They would of made a power team as president and VP.

Don’t be sexist

Time to replace that saying when comparing women.

​@@rickyrossay9418Can you please clarify as to which direction the sexism is coming from. Like really clarify it for me. Like who's doing the sexism? The commenter? That balls mean she has tenacity? Or that its condecending to women to say they have balls when they are being strong and tenatious because those traits are not only held by those who have balls? I think I understand what you are trying to say but I am unsure and do not wish to make assumptions.

​@@Jason-pq5mqWhy compare genders? Being strong, confident, forthright, and tenacious are all human qualities. How about we do not associate these virtues to a human bodies genitalia and to a human bodies heart!!! She has a heart of a lion!!! Fierce! A true hero and person who truly strives to represent the American people.

That was hilarious! LOL RIGHT ON KATIE!

Most men won't vote for a woman. Even if she can fly when they can only walk

She has been running for the CA senate seat ! We need to first get her into the senate before the White House

If our country has any future, she'll get her turn for sure.

Cosign!!!

She is currently running for the US Senate

My wife and I couldn't stop laughing. We really wanted the one dude to screw up, and she responds, "Sorry your answer wasn't in the form of a question." 😂 Great way to make government business more interesting to the public. She needs to start a reality TV show.

That woman is brilliant! Love her!!!

Yes if you don't follow directions she will pour hot boiling potatoes on your head 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Like she did to her husband 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In my opinion, our 3 most intelligent legislators are Katie Porter, Jamie Raskin, and Sheldon Whitehouse.

@mikeortiz7363 what are you talking about? You might want to edit that.

It seemed like they didn’t hate it - probably because they recognize her intelligence. 👍

Yes, and the facts she is rxposing are just Jaw Dropping!!

Facts

I was all over the LCS program when I heard that question. The details and motivations for its decommissioning are 100% profit motivated along with its inception and handling of its design errors.

And thousands of US troops along with millions of US Citizens have paid the price for it. Financially and Legally. Its just gotten worse and more and more out of control since the turn of the century. Hell, from what I have seen that US military has become a Mickey Mouse Club House version of what it was 25 years ago.

Yep, the military budget should go 100% into cleaning up the pollution mess and climate change actions.

@milesklein683 - Hilarious is right!! I laughed so hard that I literally cried, and I couldn't stop laughing.

And do you notice how the people she was talking to got into the game after a while? This was awesome!

The planet can't handle the greenhouse gases that fat ballot harvester produces.

Yes, she should train the entire Senate on how to do these demonstrations.

Got me to watch, lol. She knows how to politic in the internet age, for sure

You are a typical defund the police Communist. Defense spending doesn’t just maintain our nation; it creates jobs nationwide. It maintains patriotism. It keeps our place as a world power. Most importantly, our nuclear arsenal is ready to defend our borders and our allies against communism. We could have won Viet Nam if Senate DemocRATs let us!

i do not agree

They're obviously trying to impress Donald Trump.

Yet you call for a 61% cut ans your called crazy then they raise the budget

All of it at the taxpayers expense, yet the government wants citizens to pay more taxes while giving billionares and corporations tax breaks.

Who is money laundering for 300trillion?

Thought I was being overly pessimistic when I guessed 30% 🤬

You betcha!

Katie has my vote 👍!

dolly: 100% YES!! ... I will even vote early and often.

she has my vote as well!

I like Schiff a lot too...

If only more congresspersons would prepare themselves on FACTS like Ms. Porter we would actually have a working government.

We love our smart Representative Porter. Great fun playing Jeopardy…

They don't care. They're sociopaths. As long as their kickback checks clear, they don't have to care.

You California Commies keep electing clowns like Feinstein to the senate. She should resign for the good of her own health and the nation - but instead she clings to power. Impeach her today!

The R keeps calling for reductions, but does not question DoD budgets and inventory management. A good chunk of DoD contractors are located in R congressional districts.

@@nomenclature9373 Did this year's budget include the hundreds of billions we are sending to Ukraine?

Yes,lots of waste, but defense spending is one reason the US is so wealthy. We get so much from defense spending ,nuclear weapons gave us Carbon free nuclear power, the R and D gives our industry a leg up in everyone else. Absolutely we should cut the waste,close bases, close US bases, but the trillion dollar F-35 has been nothing but good for our economy and security. It is a difficult problem because the congress made the Navy use nuclear submarines, the Navy hated Admiral Rickover's ,the congress was right, the Navy was wrong. But usually congress wants to spend, and the defense department often didn't ask for it.

We do need new bases on Japanese Islands and in the Philippines. Money that goes overseas.Although most of it goes to US service men.

DoD HAS NOT PASSED AN AUDIT FOR DECADES Small war in Ukraine we wondering where the fuck all our artillery shells are. Wake up call people Ukraine has shown America can not supply a protracted battle, on what would be a small front in WW3.

The most fun and humiliation these guys have had with their clothes on.

She's a professor. I didn’t know that until recently. I would not want to play Jeopardy with Katie. She knows she's going to win the battle before the battle begins. That's a savvy person. I won't vote for Biden again. I want Katie Porter to be our next president. If it's too late for her to enter the race, then I simply won't vote.

@@taze317 Have you seen what the GOP is trying to do? I bet if you emailed Katie she'd tell you to use your vote to minimize the damage.

@@taze317then the gop wins

@@taze317please vote. Make your voice count for real, not just here. Katie isn’t running for POTUS, but when she does, she has my vote too.

Alex Trebeck would be proud.👍

you sit back scratching pennies together while every politician including Katie Porter stuffs her Pockets with lobbyists money

Needs to replace ALL of corporate crooks in Congress Except her!

People living at the poverty level don’t pay taxes so why are you lying? What’s wrong with investing in our military? Many of the technologies that are developed by the military are eventually used by the public, such as the internet and gps.

Fellow poverty level senior here- ...am tired of the overpaid CEOs, corporate executives...entitled million/billionaire legislators who cater to & are indebted to special interest lobbyists. Bailing out & giving tax breaks to corporations & the RICH.

She can communicate with the Congressmen because she has small children! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think they secretely enjoyed it too

A beautiful thing!

"Sorry, what is 61%?"

@@kurtisspeer3202 LOL, that had me laughing.

And it boggles the mind that you hear certain political leaders talk about rampant crime in cities when there’s massive fraud crime to the tune of hundreds of billions going on that is far more damaging to the country.

That money is gone, and will never be found. I wonder how much of it went into Russian oligarchs pockets.

not billions trillions

But if you don’t pay 5k in taxes, they take your home and/or put you in the dungeon.

And we were concerned about the Mafia all these years 😂😂😂

Now you know how Black Water and Halliburton make all their money. War is a business.

They can't fire them, all the information is classified.

​@@101doreenLyndon Johnson rented equipment to the armed forces and wanted the Vietnam war to continue... when it finally ended you could buy jeeps and trucks and boats and tanks from Military surplus stores....

The truth is that the DOD *IS ABLE* to account for its assets, but that would require submitting to an audit, which they've been voraciously opposed to for decades. Somehow they get no oversight, meaning they never have to submit to the audit process and therefore account for their spending and assets.

@@101doreen Correct. In less than 6 years during the Iraq War, Blackwater went from being a sub $20 million valued company to over $3 billion. You are correct. The US Military Industrial Complex has become all about fraud and profiteering on the back of US taxpayers. It is not about actual defense of the US at this point and has not been for several decades.

She is good, but she has to get to the Senate because her district is very conservative and Republicans are getting wise as how to defeat her. She just barely won her last election. She's not expected to win again. Terrible waste of an asset.

I think they will, eventually. She’d make a great senator.

She does a great job of representing Wisconsin and the rest of the country. 👍

She’s perfect, right where she is in the house

Senate! Yes!

Because, if you've ever had a passion project maybe you'll relate, America's military might prevents attacks on our soil by silently/expensively assuring the deletion of any adversary. Also the DoD provides tons of support to other countries. Albeit there have been terrible wastes and rash decisions, but there's a lack of oversight on spending because of the NEED. I have become educated sufficiently enough to know that we need more oversight but also we need a big budget. I will vote locally for people who share this mindset. I suggest you do that

We met the enemy and he is us. We ask for bases in our district to stay open. If you made a mistake and built billion dollar littoral combat vessels just admit it and scrap them, the real waste goes to military salaries,when they are not effective. It turns out,all this weapons we thought we so sexpensve,the Javelins $100K for the launcher $80 K for each missile,$80K for each Excaliber artillery shell, $40K for each HIMARS missile, $70 million for each F-35 but it turns out,all these years later, we were getting a bargain, it is the Russians and Chinese who get little for their defense dollars, so the pentagon, gave us great value for our money. look at all those Russian tanks with their currents flying, money well spent.

Because the industrial military complex spends tens of millions of dollars each year lobbying congress to keep these programs alive. Please stop using the “we need to spend to protect from Russia and china” excuse Russia can’t even take a country the size of texas and china lacks the logistic capability to wage war on any one east of the Indian Ocean. Nuclear weapons are the only thing that levels the playing field against the U. S. In a conventional war USA easily mops the floor against either country

We need to make sure anyone running for a position, in government should know the Constitution. They also should know about the job they are running for president on down. Everyone should pay the cup just like we do if you want to be a dishwasher. Have a background check, a moral compass.

In fairness, a lot of this stuff probably frustrates them, too. But in a broken system, it’s easier to be most frustrated by whatever is not on their turf in a turf war.

Seems like someone a conservative (a real one, not a MAGA cultist) could easily support too.

It was just painful to watch. She is so wrong. Two examples. The DoD accounts for all their money. They just don't publish the budgets. Part of military intelligence is knowing how much your opponent spends and how. Second, the F-35 is replacing the F-16. The F-16s were expensive when they were built. Decades later, they wore out and new technology had to take over. Enter the F-35. It is not a waste to modernize military jets. This lady is batty. The guys she questioned were polite though. They played along. Sometimes you have to humor crazy people.
