00:26

the Supreme Court uh a little bit later

00:29

we're going to uh to show you uh

00:31

Congressman Hing Jeff's response but

00:33

right now let's chat with Texas

00:35

congresswoman Jasmine Crockett she was

00:37

in the room last night and uh I must say

00:41

uh you you had the crazes there you had

00:44

marar Taylor green wearing her Maga

00:45

stuff you had expelled uh former

00:49

Congressman George Santos walking around

00:51

taking up space uh in the room you had

00:54

Republicans they wouldn't stand up uh

00:57

when it came to hell trying to end camp

00:59

answer they wouldn't stand up uh on uh

01:03

all kind of different stuff uh and so uh

01:06

it was definitely uh interesting what

01:08

was it like being in the

01:10

room um it's so funny because I was

01:14

talking to whip Clark this morning and

01:17

she said I need to sit in front of you

01:19

for every state of the union address

01:22

because I was back there talking myself

01:24

mhm yep and and I was saying things like

01:27

that part right um as relat to the

01:30

president listen we were fired up on our

01:32

side and I think that the American

01:34

people um are seeing everything that

01:36

they need to see of the Republican Party

01:38

the fact that you're not standing up for

01:41

education of our babies the fact that

01:43

you're not standing up against Russia

01:46

the fact that you're not standing up for

01:47

ending cancer these are things that have

01:50

nothing to do with party affiliation but

01:52

have everything to do with humanity and

01:54

the fact that they can't side with

01:56

Humanity tells you everything that you

01:58

need to know about them I get get that

02:00

the Democrats may not be the perfect

02:01

party I get that I may not be the

02:03

perfect candidate and the president may

02:05

not be the perfect candidate but the

02:06

reality is that the alternative is

02:09

nothing like what the reality of the

02:12

Democrats is which the Democrats at

02:14

least were

02:15

trying and and not just trying I mean

02:19

when you hear the president talk about

02:21

uh giving teachers arrays when you hear

02:24

him talk about um again uh not uh uh

02:28

take it uh you know uh putting Putin in

02:31

his place uh and you see folks sit over

02:34

there sit on their hands you hear him

02:36

talk about a border Bill and you see

02:38

senator lenford of Oklahoma go that's

02:41

true and they still don't like it that

02:44

to me is what I thought uh was just

02:47

interesting and I'm sitting there going

02:48

well hell which side y'all on yeah

02:51

no you're absolutely right you know I I

02:54

will be perfectly honest with you and

02:56

and tell you that I don't know where I

02:59

would be on to vote for the Border Bill

03:01

I'm going be perfectly honest um as a

03:03

progressive not really sure where I

03:06

would stand on that bill because it

03:07

really is a very conservative Bill and

03:09

as far as I'm concerned Trump saved us

03:13

from having to deal with this it's just

03:15

a matter of hey this is Trump's fault

03:17

but that was a true compromise like the

03:20

president was willing to compromise a

03:23

lot so that we could get some immediate

03:25

relief and I was very concerned about

03:28

the long standing ramifications of that

03:31

bill and again when you see Senator

03:33

Langford that is because that bill was

03:36

actually probably the reddest

03:38

immigration bill that we will ever have

03:42

an opportunity to potentially vote on um

03:45

so you know the fact that they passed a

03:47

supplemental that didn't include the

03:49

Border information I am perfectly fine

03:52

with that I'm just ready for them to get

03:54

that onto the floor because this is a

03:57

matter of National Security um you know

04:00

the the I I know that most people aren't

04:02

necessarily paying attention to foreign

04:04

relations and what's going on all around

04:06

the world but we can't wake up one day

04:09

and end up and say well how did we get

04:11

here how did we end up being attacked

04:14

how did we end up having to send our

04:16

mothers our brothers our sisters our

04:17

uncles our husbands overseas like what

04:20

happened and it would be because of the

04:23

failures of the House Republicans maybe

04:26

just so that they can campaign on it but

04:28

I just don't think that should ever use

04:30

something like National Security as a

04:33

pawn in political games so um the

04:36

president he was throwing some Shade

04:38

last night uh today right at the Supreme

04:41

Court oh yeah I love I love the uh at

04:44

Supreme Court well today he was on the

04:46

road and he was still feeling a little

04:48

feisty listen to this if you're tired

04:51

you probably watched my address last

04:58

night

05:01

I got my usual warm reception from

05:03

Congressman margorie Taylor

05:07

Green in my address I spoke about how

05:09

far we've come since we took office I

05:13

talked about how much is at stake folks

05:17

our freedoms really are in the ballot

05:19

this

05:19

November Donald Trump and the magga

05:21

Republicans are trying to take away our

05:23

freedoms that's not an

05:25

exaggeration well guess what we will not

05:28

let him

05:30

we will not let you of course you made a

05:32

comment about uh margar Taylor green uh

05:35

and your leader uh Congressman hakee

05:38

Jeffrey the Democratic minority leader

05:41

uh he was a little fired up in his new

05:44

news conference today about Taylor green

05:47

and other

05:49

Republicans we are going to continue uh

05:52

to find bipartisan Common Ground

05:55

exercising Common Sense whenever and

05:57

whereever possible with our Republican

06:00

colleagues on any issue and we've done

06:01

that repeatedly from the very beginning

06:03

of this

06:04

congress with respect to avoiding a

06:07

catastrophic default on our nation's

06:09

debt funding the government repeatedly

06:13

keeping it open and avoiding a shutdown

06:16

passing the National Defense

06:19

authorization act securing $16 billion

06:22

in assistance for communities that have

06:25

been devastated by extreme weather

06:28

events

06:30

passing tax legislation that includes

06:35

the low-income housing tax credit and an

06:37

enhan child tax credit and most

06:40

recently providing the majority of votes

06:43

necessary to get the first six

06:46

Appropriations bills over the Finish

06:48

Line we are going to

06:51

continue to govern in a common sense way

06:55

and we're just asking our Republican

06:57

colleagues to stop the political stunts

06:58

that was an embarrass embarrassment last

07:01

night a complete

07:04

embarrassment marjerie Taylor green

07:06

who's basically running the house

07:07

Republican conference shows up in

07:11

campaign paraphernalia and then these

07:13

people want a lecture Joe Biden because

07:16

he delivered a strong and forceful

07:18

speech that made them uncomfortable

07:20

because he exposed their lies and

07:22

shamelessness we have one message for

07:24

extreme Maga Republicans who want to

07:26

lecture us about the Kum get lost

07:29

you're a

07:31

joke exhibit a Marjorie Taylor green

07:35

exhibit B George Santos looks like shade

07:39

is going all around the Democratic

07:41

caucus I'm here for it listen I was mad

07:44

we were all mad y'all probably couldn't

07:46

see it because they weren't necessarily

07:48

focused in on us but we were um looking

07:51

at the Sergeant at Arms and we're like

07:53

yo like kick her out like get rid of her

07:56

um and our the former person that had

07:59

that role was a black woman and we were

08:01

like if Miss Joyce was here miss Joyce

08:03

would have made sure that the capital

08:04

police when it rounded her up like Miss

08:06

Joyce did not play and so for people

08:09

that don't know we are not allowed per

08:12

our rules to wear any hats whether

08:13

you're wearing a cowboy hat or

08:16

definitely no baseball caps like you are

08:18

not allowed to do that and the rules

08:19

also no campaign no campaign stuff

08:23

correct so I was going there too so the

08:25

so the thing is this she was a double

08:27

whammy right and the fact that she just

08:30

sat there and she basically told him

08:32

well you can find me like whatever I'm

08:34

not leaving I'm not taking it off and it

08:37

was absolutely ridiculous but this is

08:39

who she is she has never felt as if the

08:42

rules apply to her and again when we

08:45

start talking about what privilege looks

08:46

like it looks like this trailer trash

08:49

chick from Georgia who somehow is a

08:52

member of Congress but baby she has not

08:56

left the trailer trash in Georgia she

08:58

brings brings it to the floor every

09:00

single day and she does not care about

09:03

the rules and for some reason she still

09:06

has a hold on this Republican party

09:09

these people who supposedly are real

09:11

politicians are following behind this

09:15

fool and and that is exactly the case uh

09:18

and so um look you got speaker Mike

09:22

Johnson sitting back there just you know

09:25

making all these frowns and everything

09:26

like that I mean frankly he you know he

09:29

he looks like a toad uh you know trying

09:33

to sit here and and and lead the crazies

09:36

and if we actually look at the results

09:38

they don't get anything done they don't

09:40

pass bills and they depend upon

09:43

Democrats to get stuff

09:45

done yeah it's absolutely right I mean

09:48

if the Republicans really wanted to be

09:50

successful the most successful thing

09:51

that they could have done is put in a

09:53

speaker that understands what it means

09:55

to govern and basically saying listen we

09:58

will go to to our conference first but

10:02

ultimately if our conference is giv US

10:04

problems because of an extreme 1 2 3 4

10:07

or 10 or 12 we'll just go to the

10:09

Democrats it is easier to deal with a

10:12

hakeim Jeff it is easier to deal with

10:14

the Democrats and you may not get all

10:16

the Democrats but you don't need all of

10:17

them you only need about 10 or 12 and

10:21

honestly on any given day if you are

10:23

trying to do something that is going to

10:25

help the American people you will find a

10:27

lot more help by going and grabbing 10

10:29

or 12 Democrats than you ever will find

10:32

trying to go and get Maga to be on board

10:35

in fact you'll do all of these flips and

10:37

turns and everything for Maga and what

10:40

will they do they will kick you out on

10:42

your butt go ask Kevin McCarthy if I'm

10:45

ly so uh I I I I I get I love how the

10:49

crazy right responds and poor Sean

10:53

Hannity was just beside himself listen

10:56

to

10:57

this oh we saw I felt the president that

11:01

was screaming

11:03

yelling kind of ranting a speech that

11:06

was completely partisan maybe for

11:09

reasons that Joe uh I guess maybe just

11:12

known to himself but I thought it was

11:15

beyond bizarre at times and frankly a

11:17

little frightening because it's so

11:19

different than the every J everyday Joe

11:21

that we see and hear from what was your

11:24

reaction to such a dramatic

11:26

difference so now so I'm trying to

11:29

so first we're

11:31

sleepy uh then we're incompetent then we

11:34

have no cognitive understanding now it's

11:37

oh he was

11:40

high you know uh they are willing to say

11:44

anything that will disparage the

11:47

president of the United States you know

11:49

it would be easier to just go ahead and

11:52

accept some truths than to continue to

11:55

contort yourself uh in ways that your

11:58

body is not supposed to be contorted um

12:01

for the purpose of trying to spin in a

12:04

way that will benefit this four uh four

12:10

time indicted 91 count having um found

12:14

liable of sexual assault defaming person

12:19

that is running your party like it's

12:21

easier and honestly you get some type of

12:24

credibility if you just say listen you

12:26

know it's like Fox News has had to admit

12:28

over and over and over over that the job

12:30

numbers are astronomically good like it

12:33

it just is what it is right like you can

12:36

argue and say you know what Joe Biden

12:39

has done what Democrats do period but

12:42

we're conservatives and that's not what

12:43

we believe in that's cool like that's

12:46

what you say and you start to sell your

12:48

brand you start to sell your platform

12:50

but the problem is that the Republican

12:51

party has moved so far into a direction

12:54

that no one understands that Maga

12:56

doesn't have a platform the only only

12:59

platform that we get out of Maga is

13:01

ignorance and hate and that's not a

13:03

platform so you know honestly the

13:05

Republicans should take an attitude of

13:07

we need to take our party back if we

13:09

take our party back there are people

13:11

that agree with us on our our principles

13:14

even if Democrats don't that's not the

13:16

point you've never we've never agreed

13:18

with y'all right but right now you have

13:21

no identity um as it relates to policy

13:24

for sure and so instead you just make up

13:27

lies about the president because last

13:29

time I checked he was supposedly a cile

13:31
