Now. Everybody 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,600 keeps saying that everyone's afraid of Trump. Everyone's afraid of Trump. 8 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:28,920 Well not Democrats, at least not last night. They're not 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,560 afraid to speak up against him in both lighthearted and 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,359 in serious ways. Again, last night was the Washington Press 11 00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:43,039 Club Foundation's annual Congressional Dinner, and people members of Congress, 12 00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:47,280 and so they didn't hold back. For example, Senator Amy 13 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,840 Klobashar decided to make a joke about Greenland and Trump. 14 00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:53,880 Play the clip. 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: Speaking of Greenland. There's a question for you that I 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,000 want to pose. What is the difference between Greenland and 17 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:10,560 Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale? Okay for any 18 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,560 Republican Trump administration person out there. They want to throw 19 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:17,640 eggs at me as a result of that joke, you 20 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:19,760 can't because they're too expensive. 21 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,159 Speaker 1: It's not that the jokes were bad it's the delivery. 22 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,000 I mean, I could have certainly done it better, mind you. 23 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:35,640 Representative Mike Lawler decided to make a joke about Christinom 24 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,120 play this clip. 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: Speaking of dogs, How is the food tonight? Did you enjoy? 26 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: Courtesy of Christinome. 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Relax, you can laugh. I 28 00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:54,599 love the press almost as much as Matt Gaets allegedly 29 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,439 like sex parties and co Ed's. 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they really they made this, like into 31 00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:04,760 the Washington Correspondence dinner where they were not holding back. 32 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,639 I'm not really sure what it's going to prove, but 33 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,759 but Mike Lawla also makes a joke about Nancy Mace 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,000 play this clip. 35 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: Who knows Blake could be a future Speaker of the House. 36 00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,840 It all depends on how Nancy Mason the Freedom Caucus 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,039 are feeling on any given day. Nancy Mayce has gone 38 00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:28,280 so far off the deep end lately that she makes 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,919 Marjorie Taylor Green look like Susan Collins. Apparently the things 40 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,039 you need to do to be governor of South Carolina. 41 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, it's funny if you think about what he's saying. 42 00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:44,199 Forget about the fact that they're supposed to be jokes. 43 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,199 What makes them funny is that it's true. Now, in 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,639 a more serious note, I want to show you some 45 00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:55,759 clips of Democrats speaking on the House floor. Now, Representative 46 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080 Jim McGovern. He goes on and he makes a comment 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,960 about drug dealers during the fentanyl Regulation and Classification hearing. 48 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,439 Speaker 4: Play this clip, mister speaker, Republicans want to come down 49 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:15,439 here and lecture people about fentanyl. Let's talk about fentanol. 50 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:22,159 President Donald J. Trump, during his very first week in office, 51 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,319 pardon a drug dealer who helped fentanyl pour into our country. 52 00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: Well, listen, you know that's the problem when you do 53 00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:35,879 a blanket pardon of over fifteen hundred January sixth defendants. 54 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,919 You don't know, though they should, exactly who it is 55 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,879 that you're partying. In fact, there's one from Indiana I believe, who, 56 00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:49,639 for whatever the reason may be, was speeding and he 57 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,639 gets pulled over and a fight ensues, and a firearm 58 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,280 is pulled, police pulled theirs, and obviously the j six 59 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:06,039 defendant goes down permanently. You have no idea who all 60 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,960 of these individuals are. It wasn't like a thought out process. 61 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:14,120 This was a blanket pardon. For all the J six defendants, 62 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,480 because that's what Donald Trump said he was going to 63 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,120 do during the campaign, and he was not going to 64 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,519 disappoint his base. So why should there be somebody who's 65 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:30,040 not a fentanyl distributor out of that fifteen hundred plus group. 66 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:35,319 There's probably even worse. My understanding is that there were 67 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,240 some who were there for significant, significant violent crimes. But 68 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,639 then again, what's the point to do the homework. Just 69 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,360 go ahead, blanket pardon anyone that you that you want, 70 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:50,480 because simply, the Constitution permits the President of the United 71 00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:54,800 States to pardon anyone at any time that they want. 72 00:04:54,879 --> 00:05:01,439 It is an unchecked power by the Constitution. Then Adam 73 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:04,839 Shift had some impactful things to say. He goes on 74 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:09,959 and he speaks about how the DOJ now enforces Trump's 75 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,639 will rather than represent the people. Play the clip. 76 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,399 Speaker 5: The firings were executed by his appointed allies and the 77 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,759 Justice Department, and when it was done, his administration made 78 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,879 the endgame clear. The Justice Department no longer represents the 79 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:34,000 American people. It no longer enforces the law. It enforces 80 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,120 Donald Trump's will. This is not a department that can 81 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,160 be counted on anymore to investigate corruption, but to defend 82 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:54,000 Donald Trump. A Justice department that doesn't prosecute certain criminals, 83 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,399 it protects them as long as they serve the President's 84 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:02,680 interests or are the president himself. This is the new 85 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,199 normal in Donald Trump's second term, a government that exists 86 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,959 not a check on his power, but an extension of it. 87 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,439 The message was unmistakable. 88 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: The ranking member for the Senate Judiciary, and he turns 89 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,240 on and he says that this is the new normal. No, 90 00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:25,240 Adam No, and you know better, Donald Trump, through Bill Barr, 91 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,399 or maybe it was Bill Barr without Donald Trump trying 92 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,240 to impress him. I don't know, weaponize the Department of 93 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Justice against his critics in the first term. I wrote 94 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,040 an entire fucking book on it, how Donald Trump webonized 95 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,800 the US Department of Justice against his critics when I 96 00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:47,639 was unconstitutionally remanded. You know, nothing would kind of make 97 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,040 me happier than to turn around and to see Pam 98 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,360 BONDI come after you, mister ranking member. You've already spoken 99 00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,839 about this case. You know about the case, so why 100 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,759 talking about how this is a first time every single 101 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,279 person knew exactly who Donald Trump is. Everyone knew what 102 00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:12,399 he intended to do. Everyone turned around and acknowledged Project 103 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,839 twenty twenty five was going to be the manifesto, and 104 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:21,480 yet they still voted for that ideology. So don't stand 105 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,399 up there, Adam, with your new position and turn around 106 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,920 and say that this is new. This is not new, 107 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,519 all right, You've talked about it. I have been yelling 108 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,399 this from the top of the rooftops, not because I 109 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,319 want to be the guy, right, you know, yelling at 110 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,759 the top of the roof because I want to make 111 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800 sure that what they did to me never happens to 112 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,240 anyone else. Ever, not another American should go through what 113 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,720 I went through. And for you failing to acknowledge that 114 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,439 this is not new, this is a This is a 115 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,160 regurgitation of an old playbook that he did or was 116 00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:00,439 done in twenty seventeen under his previous administration, That's what 117 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,680 you need to be concentrating on. Schiff also goes on 118 00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:08,879 to speak about why the FBI is afraid of firings 119 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,720 play the clip. 120 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 5: But why is this firing in the FBI agents such 121 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,959 an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, 122 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:30,560 Elon Musk and their enablers, Because if they're gonna take 123 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,399 money from the public fisk if they're going to enrich 124 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,279 themselves with their mean coins, if they're going to raid 125 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120 the Treasury, if they're going to take people's private data, 126 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,960 if they're going to try to illegally shut down agencies. 127 00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:50,120 They don't want a Department God forbid to say no 128 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,559 that violates the law. They don't want an FBI that's 129 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,639 going to examine anything they're doing, so stripping the Department 130 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,360 of its independence, instilling fear in thousands and thousands of 131 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,759 FBI agents, telling them you are just one wrong step 132 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,559 away from being fired. This is the way to ensure 133 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,360 And when they raid the Treasury, there is no one 134 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,159 there to call out what they're doing. 135 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,519 Speaker 1: I don't know. What about you? What about Congress? What 136 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:34,440 about all the members of the Senate that ended up 137 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:43,000 confirming a whole slew of the nominees. What about them? 138 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:45,600 What's your role? What's the role of our members of 139 00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:50,200 Congress to stand up there and to prostolytize so what 140 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,440 so that you could then go back to them to 141 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,159 fill your coffers. This whole system is fucked. And lastly, 142 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,960 the CIA, yes yesterday, sent the White House. You can't 143 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,279 make this shit up. The CIA sends to the White 144 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:09,559 House a list of all of its new hires in 145 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:16,080 an unclassified email last name and then first initial that 146 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:21,200 will expose the identities of these people. Not only does 147 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,399 it expose their identities, but it creates a national security threat. 148 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,799 How biggest China is constantly scouring the Internet for this 149 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:37,799 information to try to hack into their systems or to 150 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,720 try to get compromising information on them. That's the game. 151 00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:46,840 This is what Schiff has to say about that play 152 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:47,360 the clip. 153 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,039 Speaker 5: China is winning so much in these last two weeks, 154 00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:57,159 it is getting tired of winning. Just today we learned 155 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:07,440 that some list, according to public reports, of officers at 156 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,759 the CIA, was sent to the White House in an 157 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:16,639 unclassified email. Now, I remember time it seems very quaint 158 00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,559 when Donald Trump was always talking about Hillary's emails. 159 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,399 Speaker 1: What about this email. 160 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 5: That potentially exposes the identity of people who are working 161 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,799 at the CIA want to work at the CIA, And 162 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,200 according to public reports, the administration response is, Oh, don't 163 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,120 worry that unclassified email only contained their first name and 164 00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:45,480 the first initial of their last name. Well, I'm sure 165 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,840 that China, with all of its big data analytics, will 166 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,519 have no trouble with that at all. 167 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what are you going to do about it? Right? 168 00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:01,720 I mean it's great you get up there and again 169 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:06,559 you proselytize for dollars for your campaign. How about turn 170 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:11,679 around and give us a response. It's not preaching, but 171 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:19,559 rather one that's results driven. That's the problem. This whole 172 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,960 thing is the problem. It's not just Republicans, it's democrats too, 173 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,159 And as always, thanks for listening.
