[ "Another thought: he just wants to ensure video evidence of his next assault", ">\n\nWhy would he bring his next \"date\" to Congress? Or is he planning to just grab one from the next field trip?", ">\n\nMaybe the only thing I agree with this guy on", ">\n\nI also agree with him that McCarthy shouldn't be Speaker.", ">\n\nWell a broken clock is right twice a day.", ">\n\nA bad check always bounces.", ">\n\nDoesn't bounce when you're using venmo, chkchk ;)", ">\n\nNo, Venmo just takes a random 2% and doesn't tell the payer because they want them to keep accidently hitting the \"charge the recipient 2%\" button every time", ">\n\nYou're admitting more than you want to", ">\n\nRight, my friend needs 'buyer protection' because we go halfsies on a couple movie tickets, in case I don't hand him his ticket.", ">\n\nLmao I actually hopes it passes. Made C-SPAN must watch TV.", ">\n\nCan you imagine an America where we elect representatives based on their daytime reality tv entertainment value?", ">\n\nYes, what a far flung fantasy that would be...", ">\n\nI fully support this, C-span was having the time of their life and I was there for it lol I strongly believe this is an effective way to get more voters interested and involved", ">\n\nA two drink minimum for full sessions would get people way more interested. It took 14 votes over three days to nearly get someone to punch someone else while (allegedly) sober, we need to pump those numbers up. Think of the ratings!", ">\n\nSo parliament then", ">\n\nProbably because he wants to pull some shit and use the footage out of context in Fox to fit in with the right’s victim complex.", ">\n\nA broken clock is right twice a day.", ">\n\nI agree with Matt gaetz.... Which instantly makes me suspicious", ">\n\nIt's a double-edged sword.\nA lot of grandstanding attention whores would rant in front of empty chambers for Fox News soundbites.", ">\n\nThat's why he wants this, to turn the center of legislation into a stage.", ">\n\nNewt Gingrich used C-Span to ruin the American psyche. They were stationary cameras pointed at the speaker. So he would stand in front of an entirely empty chamber and scream about how corrupt the Democrats were and how they should all be ashamed of themselves. He did that for almost 20 years, making up scandals - which he was also supremely guilty of himself - and then he became Speaker.\nSomething tells me Gaetz wants something similar.\nAlso, don’t upvote Fox News.", ">\n\nJust because it can be used for evil doesn't mean it's inherently bad. C-SPAN provides important visibility into what's happening on the House floor.", ">\n\nOh I’m not saying it’s inherently bad. But Matt Gaetz is, so I don’t trust his motivations.", ">\n\nHe loves to be filmed", ">\n\nHe thinks more cameras in the house means less cameras around the preschools that he trolls for dates.", ">\n\nI guess the ice cream truck wasn't hitting the quotas for him?", ">\n\nI hate agreeing with him, but I suspect that he has ulterior motives for this manuever.", ">\n\nHe wants their inevitable grandstanding to be televised/recorded.", ">\n\nThis is the way.", ">\n\nI dislike agreeing with Gaetz but I've done it twice recently. Kevin shouldn't be speaker and yes those should return.", ">\n\nAll my homies love Matt Gaetz.\nJust kidding. Fuck that guy (even though he's right this time).", ">\n\nI'll allow this clock to make the correct chimes this time.", ">\n\nAnother representative had to be held back from attacking Gaetz, so that’s probably why he wants more cameras. Either way, I agree that C-SPAN should have cameras in there so citizens can actually see and hear what’s happening", ">\n\nI hate having to agree with him...", ">\n\nEven a fascist douchebag is right twice a day.\nIs that how the saying goes?", ">\n\nYou got it.", ">\n\n\"Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup\"", ">\n\nGaetz wants C-Span back on the House floor.\nWell, I can't blame him.\nAfter all, who else is going to protect him from Repub Rep. Mike Rodgers, huh.\nRight Repubs?", ">\n\nOf course they do. They know they are going to be grandstanding a lot in the next two years, and want footage to use in their 2024 campaign ads.", ">\n\nLol. This is him setting trolling to maximum. He wants his underage loving face on tv more.\nNo ones going to forget your venmo you little creep.\nAll that said....lol. no way he succeeds. The gop doesnt want sunlight. Not really.", ">\n\nNeither do democrats. No speaker of either party ever allows cameras to have that sort of free access.", ">\n\nExcept for Gingrich.", ">\n\nI don’t remember them point cameras in every direction then, though.", ">\n\nFUCK FOX NEWS\nClickbait headlines don't mean they've stopped trying to destroy democracy. \nDon't upvote murdoch propagandists. They still fully support fascist politicians and basically exist to convince you to vote your rights away.", ">\n\nJust come for the comments and don’t click the link like the rest of us.", ">\n\nI see no reason to disagree with this proposal", ">\n\nI guarantee banning CSPAN was in the list of demands he held out for to get that in the House rules so he could submit this and get some easy positive press.", ">\n\nI 100% agree, and also that makes those 5 days that much funnier lol “I’m going to keep humiliating you on national tv until you agree to let me keep doing it for the next two years”", ">\n\nI hate agreeing with him.

It's gonna become a trashy reality tv show.", ">\n\nI think he meant Barbie’s dream house", ">\n\nThe enemy of our enemy is our friend. In this case, a pedophile.", ">\n\nHe wants to turn actual congress into the WWE. \nI'm sure CSPAN would love the ratings but we need Capitol Hill, not Circus Maximus", ">\n\nGive Gaetz enough rope and he will hang himself (politically that is). He can't ignore any camera. He has to play to it. So, put those camera's out there and watch the child begin.", ">\n\nHow else can the three-ring circus be effectively without an audience?", ">\n\nGaetz specifically noted that there should be no more than 15 cameras, as he loses interest in things over 15.", ">\n\nOmg...I can't believe I agree with Matt Gaetz....", ">\n\nShouldn’t all media have access to these proceedings? I don’t understand why C-span wasn’t allowed.", ">\n\nYou know what? Yeah I’m for this", ">\n\nDoes little butthead baby want his attention? Fuckin' prick.", ">\n\nGaetz for class prez", ">\n\nThink you had a typo, Gaetz for prision?", ">\n\n\"class\" was the key word in that joke.\nbut on this one and only idea I think its great", ">\n\nAh shit, I can't read!!", ">\n\nI can’t speak to his motives, but I think it’s a good idea.", ">\n\nVery important things happening in the house.", ">\n\nOnly sensible thing I've heard of come out of that jackass's mouth", ">\n\nGaetz is checking his hair, his blue suits and which profile is his best. Lights! Action! Cameras! Roll em!", ">\n\nHe’s gotta check his teeth too. It’s like chad the rest of the family didn’t want so he became Bad Chad. \nNobody wants to touch him with a 10 foot pole.", ">\n\nOh he's not retiring now? Shocker.", ">\n\nHe said he’d retire if dems voted for mccarthy", ">\n\nYes, continue to embarrass yourselves.", ">\n\nThese fake celebrities do not need more camera time for their grandstanding and other bs", ">\n\nIt would be the number one show on the if this happens. Pass the popcorn!", ">\n\nWait, C-SPAN isn't filming live anymore? What happened? That's literally everything about C-SPAN.", ">\n\nI found out yesterday as well after digging around since I also was wondering the same thing. Apparently C-SPAN was barred from bringing their cameras in to record (not sure the date they enforced this) so instead they have been using the official house chamber camera feed. The reason they were allowed to film the Speaker votes last week was because the 118th congress has not approved a rules package at that point. After the rules package was enacted, C-SPAN was again barred from filming in the chamber. This bill would allow C-SPAN to bring their own cameras to film.", ">\n\nMakes sense, it made him look great during the circus.", ">\n\nC-Span is incredible but I’ve got to wonder wtf this guy is thinking…does he just want shit loads of footage of him causing a ruckus so that he can show his base that he’s truly one of them.", ">\n\nDon’t make me agree with you Matt", ">\n\nSo he can act like an ass for an audience", ">\n\nHell yea! Can he also add in pay per view for when he and McCarthy throw fists?", ">\n\nI think Gaetz liked how much of a fool cspan made McCarthy look.", ">\n\nI disrespectfully agree", ">\n\nDoes anyone else think Gaetz looks like Donny Osmond's evil, ugly twin?", ">\n\nHow can this be, I agree with him?", ">\n\nCongress acts more bipartisan and compromises more in legislation that has less public attention. Adding cameras to the floor is going to be used for grandstanding, forcing legislators to always be mindful of what they say to their colleagues and for sound bite generation. If you want an effective Congress you don't want cameras filming everything they do and everyone they talk to. The speeches and actual votes are what is important for the public to bear witness to.", ">\n\nNice! This will be great primary source material for historians a few centuries from now studying the dissolution of our country.", ">\n\nYes, please more footage of pathetic domestic terrorists like pedo gaetz", ">\n\nBring back? Where did they go?", ">\n\nC-Span uses the cameras that are controlled by the House when it’s in session. (Same for the Senate on C-Span 2). \nFor the opening of Congress however, C-Span is allowed to bring in its own cameras as well. So this bill would allow those cameras to return.", ">\n\nSo their Newt Gingrich-esque diatribes to no one in the middle of the night can be televised? Nah. No thanks.", ">\n\nWait is this like when we gave bodycams to cops and they just got more excited about fucking people up because now they had proof for their friends?", ">\n\nGuess I'm on the fence with this one... It does seem like we don't really need what our elected officials are up to in Congress going on behind closed doors.\nBut on the other hand, it would just encourage them to treat the whole thing as a performance. He probably loves all the footage recently of him sitting there smugly blocking the speaker vote. And McCarthy having to come yell at him. And that planned photo-op showing the phone being passed with Trump on the line, coming in to excerpt his influence and save the day.\nAnd, really... I don't think there's a ton of shady stuff going on in plain view on the floor. There are too many people there, and half of them want to see the other half crash and burn. On pretty much any topic, I'd expect them to force transparency on each other.\nI'm not sure what we gain, except making personal appearance and camera presence even more of a factor than before.", ">\n\nHe wants to be able to tell his 15 year olds he’s on the TV", ">\n\nYea so it can 100% be a performance at that point.", ">\n\nTranslation: me and my 20 pals are going to stage an endless shit show the next two years, and we really need our antics televised so we can grift off it.", ">\n\nNo, that's what they want to avoid. Now they control the cameras. We won't be seeing any more fights on the House floor.", ">\n\nMaybe he wants multiple cameras on him while making an ass of himself for attention", ">\n\nIdiot does something good?", ">\n\nPerformance art is all he's got--he's at a disadvantage without cameras.", ">\n\nIt's not going to do him the favors he thinks it will" ]

(I'm a bot) China's ambassador has criticised his Japanese counterpart in Canberra, accusing him of not doing his job properly and suggesting Tokyo may once again launch a military attack on Australia in the future. Japan's ambassador Shingo Yamagami - who has repeatedly criticised China since taking up the post - in an interview published yesterday in The Australian warned that both Australia and Japan needed to remain "Vigilant" as Beijing continued to act aggressively towards other countries in the region, despite taking a softer public tone. The restoration of high-level meetings between Australia and China has raised hopes that the two countries may be able to find a way to wind back a series of trade punishments Beijing has imposed on Australia, both through formal sanctions and informal bans on some Australian products.

Excerpt What's happening: Conservative rebels extracted an agreement during the speaker fight to cap 2024 discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels. Unless the Pentagon is exempted, that could result in a potential $75 billion drop in defense spending, according to Bloomberg. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a McCarthy ally backed by the Freedom Caucus, confirmed as much when asked about military spending on "Fox News Sunday": "We got a $32 trillion debt. Everything has to be on the table." That comment drew a bristling op-ed from the conservative-leaning Wall Street Journal editorial board, which wrote: "The reality is that if defense is cut, what will go first is spending for operations and maintenance to sustain military readiness, as well as money for the weapons to deter China."
