Republicans were ripped to shreds at the00:00:03
House of Representatives and in the00:00:04
Senate yesterday. It was a bloodbath.00:00:08
Republican witnesses ripped to shreds.00:00:12
Republican leaders like Maga Mike00:00:14
Johnson and James Comr obliterated. Let00:00:18
me show you what went down. So the00:00:20
Republicans in the House of00:00:22
Representatives brought on far-right00:00:25
extremists from the United Kingdom,00:00:27
Nigel Farage, who leads the Reform00:00:30
Party, the so-called reform party, a00:00:33
faright party that attacks Europe,00:00:36
responsible for Brexit. I could go on.00:00:39
and he shows up to try to lecture00:00:42
America about free speech when the type00:00:46
of speech he spews is hate speech,00:00:49
anti-American speech, anti-liberal00:00:51
democracy speech. So, Democratic00:00:54
Congress member Jared Moscowitz puts him00:00:57
in his place, corners him in a brutal00:01:01
cross-examination,00:01:02
and Nigel Farage is like, I have no00:01:05
opinion about the Epstein file release.00:01:08
And then Moscowitz is like, "Really?00:01:10
Because you called for it to be00:01:11
released." So are you against yourself00:01:14
or do you agree with yourself, idiot?00:01:16
Here, play this clip.00:01:17
>> You think the list should come out? You00:01:18
think we should know the people who who00:01:20
dealt with Mr. Epste, Mr. Fresh?00:01:22
>> I thought I was coming to a hearing on00:01:23
free speech, not process.00:01:25
>> Oh, well, listen, but here's the good.00:01:26
>> It sounds like you're discussing00:01:27
process.00:01:29
>> Do you think the list should come out?00:01:30
>> I I have no opinion on it. I don't know.00:01:33
So, so we have victims that were00:01:35
sexually abused by potentially people in00:01:37
power and we don't know who's on the00:01:39
list. >> I'm very happy.00:01:40
>> Hold on, Mr. We don't know who's on the00:01:41
list. We don't know. We don't know who's00:01:43
on the list. We don't know if the00:01:44
president is or is not. I'm not going to00:01:45
say he is or isn't. I'm just going to00:01:46
say these are weird behaviors.00:01:48
>> We don't know that there aren't other00:01:50
people in Congress that are on the list,00:01:52
right? We we have no idea. Do you think00:01:53
the list should come out? You think00:01:54
people in power should be held to00:01:56
account for these victims who have been00:01:58
sexually abused and assaulted? You think00:02:00
the list should come out? I think that00:02:02
I'm very happy to come to a different00:02:04
hearing where you talk about legal00:02:05
process.00:02:06
>> Will the gentleman yield for a quick00:02:07
question? Were you aware that he has00:02:09
already called for the Epstein file to00:02:11
be released? It00:02:12
>> has been reported that he has called for00:02:13
it to be released.00:02:14
>> Oh, yeah. Right here, just to refresh00:02:15
your memory.00:02:16
>> I happen to have this,00:02:18
>> but that's not But that is not Look, you00:02:20
can ask me if you like about about00:02:23
security policy. Do you agree with00:02:24
yourself?00:02:25
>> Here. We are here to discuss free00:02:27
speech. >> Hold on. Is it It's awkward for your00:02:28
lunch after this. Do you agree with00:02:30
yourself? No, it isn't a soul.00:02:31
>> Okay. >> Next up, Congress member Moscowitz00:02:34
brutally exposes Nigel Farage's uh00:02:37
intentions for the day, which was to go00:02:40
and meet surreptitiously with Donald00:02:42
Trump to plot about whatever the hell00:02:45
they want to do to attack liberal00:02:47
democracies. And Moscowitz is like, "Oh,00:02:49
got it. So, just admit you're going to00:02:51
see Donald Trump like we all know." and00:02:53
watch as Nigel Farage, like the pathetic00:02:56
little weakling that he is, tries to go,00:02:58
"Oh, I think it would be wholly00:03:00
inappropriate for me to tell you what my00:03:02
lunch plans are." Here, play this clip.00:03:05
>> Uh, Mr. Froch, thanks for being here00:03:06
coming across the pond. I I'm sorry to00:03:09
hear you're leaving the hearing early.00:03:11
>> Wait.00:03:12
>> Well, that's not a question leaving the00:03:13
hearing early, but I I I do have other00:03:15
things to do. Yes.00:03:16
>> Oh, where you going?00:03:17
>> I'm so sorry about that.00:03:18
>> It's okay. Where you going?00:03:19
>> It's not lunch. I promise you00:03:20
>> it's not lunch. You're not going to have00:03:22
lunch. I don't think so. No.00:03:23
>> No lunch. Sadly,00:03:24
>> you're meeting with the president.00:03:26
>> I can't remember what the shenan is.00:03:28
It's possible. >> You can't remember if you're meeting00:03:30
with the president.00:03:32
>> I'm being very polite and I'm not going00:03:34
to tell you what I'm doing this00:03:35
afternoon. But I can assure you that.00:03:37
>> But there's the free speech hearing.00:03:38
You're not going to tell me what you're00:03:39
doing this afternoon. >> Oh, there's Oh, free speech is one00:03:41
thing. Discretion is quite another, too.00:03:43
>> Okay.00:03:44
>> All right. So, you're leaving to have00:03:45
you're leaving to have lunch with the00:03:46
president? Goat.00:03:49
>> And then Nigel Farage quite literally00:03:51
flees the hearing right ahead of00:03:54
Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman's00:03:56
questioning because he was afraid. Play00:03:59
this clip. >> Well, I remember the Russia hoax very00:04:01
very well. We had shades of it earlier00:04:02
on this morning, but but not much more00:04:05
than that, I'm pleased to say.00:04:06
>> Well, thank you. And Mr. Chairman, with00:04:07
that, I'll yield back.00:04:08
>> Thank you. And we're going to have to00:04:09
go, Mr. Chairman, but thank you very00:04:11
much. >> Mr. Fra, you can blame it on me. One00:04:13
more.00:04:14
>> Oh, you're avoiding me, M. Mr. Farage.00:04:17
Thank you. The chair now recognizes the00:04:18
gentleman from New York, Mr. Goldman.00:04:21
>> I'm sorry to see you leave, Mr. Farage.00:04:22
I actually had much that we agree upon00:04:25
and uh was looking forward to your00:04:28
testimony because it is it's very nice00:04:31
and refreshing to hear from my GOP00:04:34
colleagues that they are worried about00:04:36
authoritarianism. But he was ripped to00:04:39
shreds. Nigel Farage, that is by00:04:42
Democratic Congress member Jamie Rascin,00:04:45
who tore him to pieces. Here, play this00:04:48
clip on free speech in Hong Kong, Tibet,00:04:50
Shing Jang, or the persecution trial of00:04:53
Jimmy Lie. Or maybe a journalist about00:04:55
the Saudi crown prince's assassination00:04:57
of Jamal Kosigible, the Washington Post00:05:00
writer who demanded freedom from00:05:02
religious persecution and oppression in00:05:04
Saudi Arabia. But no, the dictators of00:05:06
the world have got nothing to fear from00:05:08
this hearing. The Republicans called it00:05:10
to attack our democratic allies in00:05:13
Europe. The star witness is not a human00:05:17
rights leader like Navoni, but a00:05:19
far-right pro-Putin politician who leads00:05:23
the UK reform party, a party that is00:05:26
four members out of 650 members in the00:05:30
parliament. He calls England an00:05:33
authoritarian regime while saying that00:05:36
Vladimir Putin is the world leader he00:05:39
admires the most.00:05:42
Well, this hearing mimics Vice President00:05:44
JD Vance who went to the Munich Security00:05:46
Conference in February in the first two00:05:47
minutes of his speech whitewashed the00:05:50
world's leading autocratic regimes00:05:51
proclaiming that the threat that worries00:05:53
him is not Russia. It's not China, he00:05:56
said, but rather it's our European00:05:58
allies. Amazing. Republicans are00:06:00
promoting far-right parties in Europe00:06:03
like Alternative for Deutseland, Reform00:06:05
UK and Blon National France and ignoring00:06:09
massive repression in Russia, China,00:06:12
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and among all the00:06:16
autocrats of the world. Republicans are00:06:17
vilifying European liberal democracies00:06:20
simply for engaging in the kind of line00:06:22
drawing exercises that we Americans00:06:25
engage in under our First Amendment with00:06:27
respect to the epidemic of child00:06:29
pornography,00:06:30
protecting children from other harmful00:06:33
content, defamatory speech, online scams00:06:37
and false advertising, and speech00:06:39
inciting riots and imminent lawless00:06:42
action. all forms of speech that the00:06:44
First Amendment does not protect and00:06:46
whose tricky contours must still be00:06:48
drawn by law. We could have a meaningful00:06:50
hearing on this complicated subject, but00:06:53
this hearing is just a driveby hit00:06:56
against a strong Democratic ally to00:06:59
benefit a Donald Trump sickant and00:07:02
wannabe. But it's even worse than this.00:07:05
Not only are colleagues ignoring00:07:06
intensifying repression in the world's00:07:09
dictatorships, they're also trying00:07:11
trying to distract the world from the00:07:13
attack on freedom taking place right00:07:15
here in America every single day. And00:07:18
take a look at just how uncomfortable00:07:20
Farage looks as Congress member Jamie00:07:23
Rasin uses his opening statement to just00:07:26
absolutely demolish him. Watch what goes00:07:29
down here. Play this clip.00:07:31
>> Protectors of free speech, but they only00:07:33
want to protect speech. they agree with.00:07:36
In the UK, Mr. Farage is openly00:07:38
promoting the abolition of the Human00:07:40
Rights Act of 1998 to be replaced with a00:07:43
British bill of rights that limits the00:07:45
right of speech free speech to British00:07:47
citizens and legally sanctioned00:07:49
residents. He complains that racist00:07:51
threats against immigrants are not00:07:53
protected free speech while he proposes00:07:56
to strip migrants, tourists, and perhaps00:07:58
even visiting American Congress people00:08:00
of any free speech rights at all. I had00:08:03
my own close encounter with that when00:08:05
Mr. Farage and his team presented for00:08:07
more than an hour in a conversation we00:08:09
had about free speech and after three00:08:11
minutes of talking uh he cut me off and00:08:14
terminated the meeting because he didn't00:08:16
like what I was saying. That's the kind00:08:18
of free speech he's committed to. There00:08:20
is a free speech crisis in America00:08:22
today. But there's no free speech crisis00:08:24
in Britain. UK Prime Minister Kier00:08:26
Starmer has not shut down GB News where00:08:29
Mr. Farage has his own show just because00:08:31
Mr. Farage has used his airtime to call00:08:34
for banning peaceful protests that he00:08:37
disagrees with. No one has stopped him00:08:39
from going on Russian TV 17 times and00:08:42
saying also and repeating that the one00:08:45
world political leader he most admired00:08:47
was Vladimir Putin. Even though Vladimir00:08:49
Putin is a war criminal and a dictator00:08:52
who has regularly interfered in other00:08:55
countries democratic elections, no one00:08:58
has stopped Mr. forage from paring00:09:00
Putin's absurd talking points like when00:09:02
Farage claimed that NATO, the US and00:09:04
Britain provoked this war in Ukraine.00:09:08
For a man who fashions himself as some00:09:10
kind of a free speech martyr, Mr. Farage00:09:12
seems most at home with the autocrats00:09:14
and dictators of the world who are00:09:16
crushing freedom on earth. Mr. Defraj00:09:19
wants to get rid of the online safety00:09:21
act in his country. A law shepherded by00:09:23
the conservative party and implemented00:09:25
by the Labor Party which bans child00:09:28
pornography online, protects children00:09:30
from harmful content, forbids00:09:32
non-consentual pornography and other00:09:34
unlawful content. He should go and00:09:36
advance the positions he's taking here00:09:38
in Congress today in Parliament, which00:09:40
is meeting today if he's serious about00:09:43
it. To the people of UK who think this00:09:45
Putinloving free speech impostor and00:09:48
Trump sickant will protect freedom in00:09:50
your country, come on over to America00:09:53
and see what Trump and MGA are doing to00:09:56
destroy our freedom. Kidnap00:09:59
college students off the street, ban00:10:02
books from our libraries, militarize our00:10:04
police and unleash them against our00:10:06
communities. take over our universities,00:10:09
wreck our professional civil service,00:10:11
and turn the government into a00:10:13
money-making machine for Trump and his00:10:15
family. You might twink think twice00:10:18
before you let Mr. Farage make Britain00:10:21
great again. I yield back. Then you had00:10:23
Congress member Rasin also talk about00:10:26
how when private comments made by00:10:29
federal employees are scrutinized for00:10:32
anti-Trump bias, we're now in the00:10:35
territory of Putin, Stalin, Kim Jong-un00:10:38
world. That's what Trump and Nigel00:10:41
Farages of the world and all this00:10:43
right-wing blabber has turned the United00:10:46
States into. Here, play this clip. or00:10:48
because they honestly gave honest00:10:50
economic information and labor00:10:52
statistics to the public. These00:10:54
honorable civil servants are being fired00:10:56
because they won't be the political00:10:58
hacks Trump demands that they be. When00:11:01
private comments made by federal00:11:02
employees are scrutinized for anti-Trump00:11:05
bias and they can lose their jobs00:11:07
because of it, then we've entered the00:11:09
realm not just of Vladimir Putin, but of00:11:11
Joseph Stalin. Now, Mr. Trump and Mr.00:11:14
Farage both claim they're protectors of00:11:16
free speech, but they only want to00:11:18
protect speech they agree with. In the00:11:20
UK, Mr. Farage is openly promoting the00:11:23
abolition of the Human Rights Act of00:11:25
1998 to be replaced with a British Bill00:11:28
of Rights that limits the right of00:11:30
speech, free speech to British citizens00:11:32
and legally sanctioned residents. He00:11:34
complains that racist threats against00:11:36
immigrants are not protected free speech00:11:39
while he proposes to strip migrants,00:11:41
tourists, and perhaps even visiting00:11:43
American Congress people of any free00:11:45
speech rights at all. I had my own close00:11:48
encounter with that when Mr. Farage and00:11:50
his team presented for more than an hour00:11:52
in a conversation we had about free00:11:54
speech. And after three minutes of00:11:56
talking, uh, he cut me off and00:11:58
terminated the meeting because he didn't00:12:00
like what I was saying. That's the kind00:12:02
of free speech he's committed to. There00:12:04
is a free speech crisis in America00:12:06
today. But there's no free speech crisis00:12:08
in Britain. UK Prime Minister Kier00:12:10
Starmer has not shut down GB News where00:12:13
Mr. Farage has his own show just because00:12:16
Mr. Farage has used his airtime to call00:12:18

Putin is a war criminal and a dictator00:12:37

count's democratic elections. No one has00:12:42

absurd talking points like when Farage00:12:47
claimed that NATO, the US and Britain00:12:49
provoked this war in Ukraine. For a man00:12:52
who fashions himself as some kind of a00:12:54
free speech martyr, Mr. Farage seems00:12:56
most at home with the autocrats and00:12:58
dictators of the world who are crushing00:13:01
freedom on earth. Now bringing you to00:13:04
the House floor, Democratic Congress00:13:06
member Jim McGovern pulls out his phone00:13:10
and shows, do you realize that as the00:13:13
victims or I should say survivors of00:13:16
Epstein and Gileain are courageously00:13:19
coming forward and they're demanding the00:13:22
release of the Epstein and Gileain and I00:13:25
should call them Trump files as well.00:13:27
Donald Trump is in the Oval Office00:13:30
saying that what's going on is a hoax.00:13:33
Look at the video right here. Trump's00:13:35
calling it a hoax. Um the Epstein00:13:37
victims or survivors want the Massie00:13:41
bill passed and Trump's attacking them.00:13:43
Here, play this clip. It is shameful. Um00:13:45
and it and it's and speaking about the00:13:47
Epstein files again. I'm looking at the00:13:49
video of a few minutes ago. Donald Trump00:13:53
speaking to reporters calling all this a00:13:55
hoax. all this the Epstein files are00:13:58
hoax. He's not talking about what we're00:14:01
doing here. And by the way, let me just00:14:03
say to the gentleman and anybody else00:14:06
who wants to know, listen to what the00:14:09
victims were asking for outside this00:14:12
capital just a few minutes ago. The00:14:15
survivors, the survivors of Mr. Epstein00:14:17
and Miss Maxwell, listen to what the00:14:19
survivors have been saying. They want00:14:22
the Massie counter bill passed. They00:14:25
want something with teeth in it that00:14:26
will force this administration to comply00:14:28
because they don't trust that they will.00:14:31
>> So, you ever wake up and feel like your00:14:32
body just hit the snooze button on life?00:14:35
Yeah, same. Honestly, aging sneaks up on00:14:37
you in some wild ways. Whether it's a00:14:39
night out or a good workout, I just00:14:41
don't bounce back the way that I used00:14:43
to. One day you're full of energy, the00:14:45
next you're googling how to stretch00:14:47
without pulling a muscle. I believe one00:14:49
of the best aging breakthroughs of the00:14:51
last decade is Qualioinolytic. And00:14:53
here's why. It's designed to help your00:14:54
body naturally eliminate something00:14:56
called scinesscent cells, also known as00:14:58
zombie cells. These are the ones that00:15:00
just hang around after they've stopped00:15:02
doing their job, draining your energy00:15:04
and making you feel, well, old. Think00:15:06
joint discomfort, sluggish recovery, low00:15:09
energy, the whole deal. Qualioenolytic00:15:11
is a groundbreaking supplement made with00:15:13
nine plant-based nutrients, and you only00:15:16
take it 2 days a month. That's it. Since00:15:19

sponsoring this episode. More from00:15:54
Democratic Congress member McGovern on00:15:56
the House floor. And he goes, "You MAGA00:15:59
Republicans, you are so pathetic. You're00:16:02
just pathetic people. You guys think you00:16:05
work for Trump. Every single Republican00:16:08
in the rules committee, all of you00:16:10
pathetic losers voted against releasing00:16:13
the Epstein files. Oh, you've all said,00:16:16
"We want full transparency." But that's00:16:19
not true. You then vote against the00:16:21
Epstein files. You try to block the uh00:16:24
resolution, the discharge petition to00:16:27
release the files. You are all pathetic.00:16:29
Play this clip. This is all about the00:16:32
ego of the man who lives at 160000:16:35
Pennsylvania Avenue. You guys think you00:16:37
work for Trump. You're obsessed with00:16:39
him. It's pathetic.00:16:42
Republicans are ruining this00:16:43
institution, Mr. Speaker. Destroying00:16:46
this institution. Again, let me repeat.00:16:50
Every single Republican on the rules00:16:53
committee voted against releasing the00:16:55
Epstein files. Every single one. I mean,00:16:59
we heard last night that all Republicans00:17:02
want full transparency, but that's just00:17:04
not true. Let me read you a quote from00:17:07
the top Republican in this country,00:17:09
President Donald J. Trump. This is what00:17:12
he says about the Epstein files, and I00:17:14
quote, "It's all been a big hoax. It's00:17:17
perpetrated by the Democrats and some00:17:20
stupid Republicans." End quote.00:17:23
And at a press availability just minutes00:17:26
uh ago, uh the president again said that00:17:30
this is all a hoax. Now, what do00:17:32
Republicans think of that? Donald Trump00:17:35
says this is all a hoax and if you want00:17:37
to release the files, you're stupid.00:17:39
Now, I'm not surprised. I'm not00:17:41
surprised that the guy who once called00:17:43
Epstein a quote terrific guy and who00:17:46
Epstein considered his quote closest00:17:49
friend is not actually interested in00:17:51
getting to the truth. But you know what?00:17:53
You know when this clicked in for me,00:17:55
Mr. Speaker, and for a lot of people, it00:17:58
clicked after Trump won and then the00:18:00
backtracking began. Uh uh it clicked00:18:04
again yesterday. Um you know, it clicked00:18:08
it clicked after Republicans. It clicked00:18:10
after the same Republican leaders who00:18:11
invited influence to the White House and00:18:14
then passed out binders about the soon00:18:16
to be released client list suddenly00:18:18
changed their tune. And it clicked again00:18:20
yesterday when phase two of the binders00:18:22
came out. More information released00:18:25
that's already been released. 97% of it00:18:28
has already been released.00:18:31
It clicked when the same MAG of00:18:32
politicians who once pledged to release00:18:34
everything suddenly came up with more00:18:36
excuses, more delays, and more stalling00:18:39
tactics. And what is obvious to everyone00:18:43
is that someone is hiding something.00:18:47
And while all this stalling goes on,00:18:49
what happens? Gain Maxwell, Epstein's00:18:53
partner in crime, winds up in a cushy00:18:56
country club prison courtesy of Trump's00:18:58
political appointees.00:19:00
Not a word, not a word of outrage from00:19:02
this Republican majority. Not a whisper00:19:05
of accountability, just silence.00:19:08
Now, let's not pretend that this is00:19:10
complicated. It's pretty obvious what's00:19:13
going on. The Trump administration has00:19:15
the power to release the Epstein files00:19:19
today. They could redact names to00:19:22
protect victims and survivors and00:19:24
deliver the truth, but they refused.00:19:28
Even Republican Congress member Thomas00:19:30
Massie is calling out his own party and00:19:33
calling out Donald Trump. And Republican00:19:36
Congress member Massie, who by the way00:19:38
has been a strong champion for the00:19:40
Epstein survivors and for the release00:19:42
here. I got to give Massie credit for00:19:44
that. Um, and he's been working on a00:19:46
bipartisan basis with Democratic00:19:48
Congress member Ro Kana. And here Massie00:19:51
says, "I don't think that there's a00:19:53
precedent in this country where the00:19:55
president of the United States calls00:19:58
legislators to say, you're engaging in a00:20:02
hostile act against me, against the00:20:05
presidency if you support releasing00:20:09
files that expose a pedto sex00:20:11
trafficking ring." So, Donald Trump00:20:14
saying it is a hostile act to try to get00:20:17
justice for the victims of sex00:20:19
trafficking. That's a first in the00:20:21
presidency. And this is coming from a00:20:23
Republican Thomas Massie. Again, I don't00:20:25
care what side of the political aisle00:20:27
you're from. If you don't agree with00:20:29
what Thomas Massie is saying, you better00:20:32
look yourself in the mirror and say00:20:34
something is seriously wrong with me.00:20:35
Here, play this clip.00:20:37
>> Updates on the discharge petition. Do00:20:38
you think you'll get the number of00:20:40
signatures you need? I think we'll00:20:41
eventually get there. What what people00:20:43
are waking up and discovering right now00:20:45
is the folks who stayed up all night to00:20:47
go through the 34,000 individual pages00:20:50
have found that they're so redacted as00:20:53
to be useless and that many of them were00:20:55
already available.00:20:57
>> Do you think this oversight tactic is00:21:00
releasing these documents? I mean, how00:21:02
do you actually read it? Um, clearly00:21:05
they're pushing for more transparency,00:21:06
but it seems like it's not enough for00:21:08
you. Well, I appreciate the effort that00:21:10
they've undertaken, but the scope of00:21:12
their investigation is to investigate00:21:14
the investigators. Like, they don't ever00:21:17
intend to have any criminal referrals.00:21:19
There may be some notations from the00:21:21
oversight committee when this is done00:21:23
that, oh, this FBI person didn't check00:21:27
this box or this person acted00:21:29
unethically or this person got too light00:21:31
of a sentence. but they're not going in00:21:33
and trying to identify who these00:21:35
perpetrators were of these heinous00:21:38
sexual abuse crimes.00:21:40
>> Um, I wanted to ask which Republicans00:21:42
you think will end up signing on to your00:21:44
discharge?00:21:45
>> Well, I made the mistake of getting 1200:21:47
co-sponsors and that so the White House00:21:49
knew who to target. So, I'm not going to00:21:51
name anybody who's thinking about00:21:53
joining.00:21:54
>> But you're confident you'll get this00:21:55
country.00:21:56
>> I'm pretty sure. I mean, this it's a00:21:58
strong effort from the White House. They00:22:00
are literally calling it a hostile act00:22:03
to sign this discharge petition now. And00:22:06
I don't know if that's precedented in00:22:09
this country to have a president call00:22:12
legislators to say that they're engaged00:22:15
in a hostile act, particularly when the00:22:19
the so-called hostile act is trying to00:22:21
get justice for people who've been00:22:24
victims of sex crimes. Now, one of my00:22:26
favorite Democratic Congress members, a00:22:29
true fighter, someone who absolutely00:22:31
crushes it on the rules committee,00:22:33
Democratic Congress member Joe Nagus.00:22:36
Here he is on the floor and he's like,00:22:38
"You Republicans, you just spend the00:22:40
whole day whining about Biden. We're00:22:42
like September 4th. We're deep into00:22:46
September at this point. Are you just00:22:48
going to blame Biden?" What? In 2028 and00:22:50
2026, it's all Biden, verb, adjective.00:22:54
Here, play this clip.00:22:55
>> Uh, my colleague from Minnesota, I00:22:57
think, said the word Biden eight times00:23:00
if I'm not mistaken. You couple that00:23:02
with references to the prior00:23:03
administration, that jumps up to 12 or00:23:05
or 13. It's unclear to me when00:23:08
Republicans are going to stop00:23:10
complaining and actually do something to00:23:13
address the challenges that face our00:23:15
country. They spend more time talking00:23:17
about Joe Biden than they do about00:23:19
reducing costs. every sentence from that00:23:23
side of the aisle. Biden, a verb, an00:23:26
adjective, and more coal. That's00:23:28
essentially the sum total of every00:23:30
sentence. And by the way, my colleagues,00:23:32
I suspect, are watching from their00:23:34
offices. I know that more of my00:23:35
colleagues are going to come to the00:23:36
floor here to engage in debate on I00:23:39
don't know how many CRAAS are they00:23:40
putting on the floor today. Three, four,00:23:42
five. That's all we do around here is00:23:44
CRAAS. So, I encourage them as they're00:23:46
watching, please, when you come to the00:23:48
floor, maybe spend some time talking00:23:50
about your affirmative vision for the00:23:52
country and not so much time talking00:23:54
about the prior president. What's so00:23:57
right there? Then, Democratic Congress00:23:59
member Nagus said, "You know what? Facts00:24:02
do matter. The truth does matter. Under00:24:05
Donald Trump, right now, Americans are00:24:08
paying far more for electricity. So00:24:11
spare me your uh fake tears. Spare me00:24:16
your outrage y'all are causing it's00:24:19
because of what you're doing by killing00:24:22
energy, wind, solar, going after Biden's00:24:26
uh crowning achievements. Uh that that00:24:29
is one of the reasons that you're00:24:31
destroying energy, the infrastructure00:24:33
act, inflation reduction act, cuz you00:24:35
go, "Oh, green is too woke. Windmills00:24:38
are work." You idiots. Here, play this00:24:40
clip. Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker.00:24:41
First and foremost, facts matter. Under00:24:43
President Trump, Americans are paying00:24:45
more for their electricity than ever00:24:48
before.00:24:49
Ever before. Energy costs right now are00:24:53
higher than they have ever been.00:24:57
They're increasing at twice the rate of00:24:59
inflation. So, you know, spare us00:25:02
lectures about energy costs as00:25:05
Republicans preside over an economy in00:25:07
which everything is getting more00:25:08
expensive.00:25:10
health care more expensive, groceries00:25:12
more expensive, energy costs going00:25:14
through the roof. Seriously,00:25:17
their answer to all of this?00:25:20
More coal.00:25:22
That's it. That's the sum total of the00:25:25
Republican response to the cost of00:25:27
living crisis in the United States of00:25:29
America today. From Arkansas to Colorado00:25:31
to Minnesota and everywhere in between.00:25:33
More coal. That that's that's their00:25:36
prescription. Mr. Speaker,00:25:38
I can tell you in Colorado,00:25:41
we certainly don't think that's a00:25:42
prudent approach.00:25:43
>> Next up, Democratic Congress member Jim00:25:45
McGovern says, "Do you realize that the00:25:48
Republicans are still too cowardly to00:25:51
hang up this plaque honoring the00:25:53
officers?" That's required by law.00:25:56
There's a law that says this plaque goes00:25:58
up honoring the January 6th officers who00:26:01
gave their life and some who were00:26:03
seriously injured. You refuse to hold00:26:05
the plaque because your orange blob00:26:08
dictator is uh anti- the January 600:26:12
police is pretends that the 202000:26:14
election was stolen. That's what you're00:26:17
doing here. Play this clip. And here's00:26:18
the kicker. This majority still hasn't00:26:20
even hung the plaque honoring those00:26:22
officers. A plaque required by law.00:26:25
Required by law. So instead of a sham00:26:28
committee, how about you get a00:26:30
screwdriver and hang the damn plaque00:26:33
because every day it sits in a box is00:26:35
another day Republicans dishonor the00:26:37
heroes who defended this place. But if00:26:40
they insist on this little circus, at00:26:42
least at least investigate something00:26:44
real, like why Donald Trump pardon00:26:47
people who assaulted police officers.00:26:50
More from Congress member McGovern right00:26:52
here. another powerful uh moment where00:26:55
McGovern says, "Listen to the survivors.00:26:58
Listen to the survivors." And you'll see00:27:00
how pathetic Donald Trump is. Let's play00:27:02
it. >> You know, while he was going on that00:27:03
tyrate, I went back and I listened to00:27:05
Donald Trump's press conference uh at00:27:07
the White House. Um, and not only did he00:27:09
call the move to release the Epstein00:27:12
files a um, you know, a a Democratic00:27:16
hoax, he said it was designed to get the00:27:19
American people to focus in on something00:27:21
that was irrelevant.00:27:24
Now, let that sink in. I mean, if you00:27:27
listen to the survivors that were in00:27:30
front of the capital just a few minutes00:27:32
ago, listen to their horror stories,00:27:35
that that that is that's irrelevant. I00:27:38
mean that's that the president of the00:27:40
United States of America would say00:27:41
something like that is pathetic. Uh and00:27:45
uh you know00:27:48
I mean he could you know very easily put00:27:51
all this controversy to rest by just00:27:53
releasing the files. Uh and that is why00:27:56
we need to pass the mass econ bill00:27:58
because we could actually pass a bill00:28:00
that would compel him to do that. What00:28:02
you all did in the rules committee last00:28:04
night is a resolution that doesn't00:28:06
really mean anything. It's designed as00:28:08
cover. Speaking of pathetic, then MAGA00:28:10
Mike Johnson accuses California Governor00:28:13
Gavin Newsome of anti-Christian rhetoric00:28:16
because Governor Nuome said in response00:28:19
to the Minneapolis school shooting, "The00:28:22
kids were literally praying." So spare00:28:25
me the thoughts and prayers alone.00:28:28
Thoughts and prayers are great, but we00:28:31
need common sense gun reform. We need00:28:33
action. We need to take guns off the00:28:35
street. We do also need mental health00:28:39
programs, which Republicans have all00:28:41
defunded. They defunded the program in00:28:44
Minneapolis and across the country. So,00:28:46
yes, thoughts and prayers. I'm fine with00:28:48
thoughts and prayers. I send thoughts00:28:49
and prayers. But what I also want to00:28:51
send is action. action like getting it00:28:54
done, like common sense gun reform, like00:28:57
mental health programs. That's what I00:28:59
want. You heard Maggan Mike Johnson what00:29:00
he has to say, right? You be played it.00:29:02
>> I just got to comment on on on Governor00:29:04
Newsome and his anti-Christian00:29:07
rhetoric, anti-religious rhetoric. Um,00:29:10
just one personal point here. last week.00:29:11
I mean, he called me out personally a00:29:14
couple times and and um he he00:29:16
shamelessly mocked the victims of00:29:18
Annunciation Catholic School uh for00:29:21
praying after the shooting. Uh went00:29:23
online and did it in writing. Um I just00:29:26
I just found it reprehensible. I mean,00:29:28
it's really sick. In in response to a00:29:31
video of Caroline Levit discussing the00:29:32
power of prayer amid tragedy, the00:29:35
governor posted, quote, "These children00:29:37
were literally praying as they got shot00:29:39
at." I mean, why? Like, why would you do00:29:41
that? Why would you do that? Except that00:29:43
you were starving for attention. It's00:29:45
detestable. Two children were murdered.00:29:48
More than a dozen were hospitalized. And00:29:50
Gavin Newsome's response was to sneer00:29:52
and condemn those who seek out our00:29:54
creator at our darkest moments. I just00:29:57
thought it was I just thought it was00:29:58
evil. Um, in fact, it's indicative of00:30:00
such a profound moral decay that really00:30:02
the only hope for is prayer, ironically.00:30:05
Um, you know, we're told in scripture to00:30:06
do that. As people of faith, we believe00:30:08
in the strength of prayer and00:30:10
intercession. It's foundational to who00:30:12
we are as believers and by the way, who00:30:13
we are as Americans. It's woven into the00:30:16
fabric of our country, our deep00:30:18
Judeo-Christian heritage. And it's00:30:19
something that we represent. As a leader00:30:21
of the state with the largest Christian00:30:23
population in America, I will keep00:30:25
Governor Governor Newsome and also the00:30:28
people of California in my prayers. And00:30:31
uh I think you ought to be called out00:30:32
and anybody who anybody who does that00:30:34
should be called out for.00:30:35
>> Okay. Next up, finally, we have uh00:30:38
Republican Congress member Massie00:30:40
telling his Republican colleagues, "Grow00:30:42
a freaking spine." Here, play this clip.00:30:45
I hope my colleagues are watching this00:30:46
press conference. I want them to think,00:30:49
"What if this was your sister? What if00:30:51
this was your daughter?" When these00:30:53
survivors speak, the Washington00:30:56
establishment is asking the American00:30:58
public to believe something that is not00:31:00
believable. They're asking you to00:31:03
believe that two individuals created00:31:06
hundreds of victims and they acted alone00:31:09
and that the DOJ has no idea of who else00:31:12
might have been involved. That nobody00:31:14
else did anything that rose to a00:31:17
criminal enterprise. The American people00:31:20
know that's not true. Now, the speaker00:31:22
of the house just offered a fig leaf to00:31:24
my colleagues. They're going to vote on00:31:26
a non-binding resolution today that does00:31:29
absolutely nothing.00:31:31
