Total mayhem is erupting in Congress as Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlaw...
to backfire as Donald Trump now, trying to seropitiously evacuate U.S. bases in the Middle East
“moving all of the equipment over to Israel while having our troops remain very vulnerable to”
Iranian strikes in these containerized barracks. After Iran has been able to strike the early detection systems, the radar systems, and some of the other interceptor devices as well also the U.S. running low on having no interceptors at this point as lots of top military officials are now leaking to the press, but we've been warning about that for months and months and months. Let me show you what was going down on Capitol Hill before Pete Higgsith was set to
testifying Congress, of course, recovering that as well. You've got Magaripublican Senator Jim Banks of Indiana saying that Donald Trump has brought peace to the Middle East and that he's
done so much for lasting peace with the Abraham Accords. Things have never been better in the
Middle East according to the Magaripublicans right now, as articulated or not articulated by Jim Banks, let's play it. A President Trump has done so much to bring long-term, lasting peace to the Middle East, the Abraham Accords in the first Trump term and now what he's doing in this term to wipe out Iran's military to wipe out their ability to have a nuclear weapon and to prevent them from funneling money to Hezbollah and Hamas and terrorist proxy groups.
You go from Magar Jim Banks to Magar Mike Johnson. Magar Mike Johnson was asked by a reporter right where five months in. There have been tons of casualties. We know the death toll now around
18 killed in action. The injuries, I believe, by the way, the fatalities is more, injuries being
reported about 447. By the way, I believe that numbers closer to 3 to 5,000 and I believe there's a lot of serious traumatic brain injury. So, Magar Mike, do you think that Congress should assert
“its job with respect to blocking this war? That's what Article 1 of the Constitution says”
that the right to declare war. It's Congress not Donald, you want to do your damn job Magar Mike, or you want to act like a freaking loser, Magar Mike, like a war criminal, eight or better Magar Mike while trying to quote the scripture. Here, play this clip. The administration's working very hard to communicate and the whole Department of War, working very hard to bring this to a resolution. There's a lot of discussions about how that will be done. We're all closely
watching those developments, of course. I don't think in AUMF is in order right now. I think we need to bring this to a resolution. Look, I think it's important for all of our international partners as my personal view to have a role in this. All of our allegations through NATO, we've got the Arab countries over there, the Gulf States, that are in closest proximity to Iran. Iran is now fired on all of its neighbors and they're turning everybody in the world into an enemy. Then I think
this is an important moment of history for all of the world community to decide how they want to handle this. It shouldn't just be America's obligation. My view is that everybody needs to play a role. So we'll see how that develops. I think we have to allow the space to do that. And I know that this administration is working around the clock to resolve that in a way. So they don't suffer any more true losses. This is a great tragedy. It shouldn't happen. But it is a very important,
“very important objective that I believe we've achieved to ensure that the largest sponsors state”
of a terrorism does not have a nuclear weapon. That would be a disaster for everybody and everybody around the world understands that. Now we've got to wrap it up. Yes, ma'am. Fourth row. Oh, going to another Maggie public in Pete sessions. I'm very happy with what I'm seeing right now. He said, I'm very happy he says this will make Iran want to negotiate with us. We bomb a more that will make them want to do a deal. Are y'all idiots? I mean, are you really that stupid or that
malicious or both? You believe you're less than from the last five months. Bomb them more and Iran's going to be like, you know, I'm going to negotiate with them. And also stop pretending that you've obliterated. What are you even destroying? If you claim that they were totally obliterated five months ago, nothing that these Trump, Magalusers say makes any sense at all because they are liars and they are vial scum. Just be getting our troops killed,
eating and abetting genocide. The hell of these people doing here play this clip. They are now moving forward to hit key rail sites, key sites of traffic. I'm very happy with what I see
From a perspective of instead of just fighting this war hoping that their rei...
come to table or later we now are going to force this issue. And it is not going to be easy,
but we're now going way deeper. A series of at least one B-52 came to deliver what would have been an entire armament from an aircraft carrier in one opportunity. They flew from the United States to do that. So the administration is taking the steps that will be necessary to put a real pinch on the Iranians, and I am very supportive of this. Then you got Magar Republic in Senator Jim
“Banks right here. He goes, "And here's the thing. Mamdonis the problem." Okay? We're engaged right now”
in a major international war. And Israel is our friend. They are the closest friend that we have. We attack Canada and as we attack everybody else in the world, Israel's our friend right now. And Mamdonis is saying that the international criminal courts issuing a warrant for Netanyahu's
arrest is something that should be enforced. No way. Here's what Banks says. Play it.
Since we're engaged in a major international war, and Israel is our ally to take out the bad guys in Iran and make sure that they never have a nuclear weapon. And because we know what will happen if they do. And Israel is our cherished ally and an important part of that strategy to accomplish that. So it just goes to show how radical this marriage, who is the leader of the Democrat party
“today. And we can't ignore what he's saying, but we have to recognize that this shows the cancer”
that has infected the Democrat party today. More Magamik over here, who's asked, "Hey Magamik! Magamik, do you think this is a good strategy for Donald Trump to spend now
until midterms re-litigating the 2020 election that he lost?" I'm in here that he did that at all.
I just heard that he said that he wants integrity in the election. You know who the force for no integrity in the election? It's Donald Trump. You want to know, in my opinion, where the election fraud comes from, you Magamik, your party, Donald Trump, insurrectionist. That's the issue. What are you talking about? You know, Donald Trump, he just raised, you thought that national address was normal. Actually, if you thought that national address was normal and you believe
that that was America at its best, which is what these magas say, no wonder you think the war in Iran is going well. However, for people who care about objective facts, for people who go WTF America, what the hell is going on? By the way, pre-order WTF America right now, it comes out in October. But if you pre-order it's really helpful. So please pre-order and I'll hit the QR code or we have a link in the description below, but I digress. We care about facts, Magamik, and you are
a liar and a liar that is killing us. Play this clip. Well, I didn't hear him in that address, he wasn't re-lit again in the 2020 election. What he did was I got a couple notes here, but some of the things that he announced 280,000 non-citizens have been found to be on voter rolls in America. I mean, if that doesn't cry for the past to the Save America in the law, I don't know what does. He announced it for an avocaries of compromised American election data and that our
election system is vulnerable to threats. I mean, that should concern every American citizen. This isn't about re-lit again in 2020. This is about making sure that people have faith in our election system. If you do not have a free and fair election. And then, of course, Steve Scalice, the other top Republican in the House, is like the Bolsheviks, you know, every American wakes off from, you know what they care about. The Bolsheviks are crushing America. The Bolsheviks are doing it.
How about you're the Bolshevik? How about you and Donald Trump behave like the Duma, that you all behave like Stalin, that you all behave actually, that Donald Trump said, "I'd be the greatest communist, like Lenin." Well, you take over corporations, okay? The modes and methods of construction and development and production, y'all take over.
“Trump, I would just promise everything, and never deliver. Yeah, that's what you all do.”
You promise miracle, queues, miracle fixes, most favorite nations, healthcare, which you don't deliver. Doge, dividend checks, you said, healthcare would be available and cheaper than ever, that everything would be affordable, electricity would be half off, y'all lie about everything. But here, the Bolsheviks, let's play it. Oh. Look, the Bolshevik take over the Democrat party is
In full swing.
that. The lines have never been more clear in an election. Now I want to bring in Senator Andy Kim from
New Jersey, Senator Kim, great to see as always. And sadly as always, you see Donald Trump doing things here and abroad with absolutely no plan with malice, with recklessness. It is causing massive pain and suffering and psychological torture of people here in the United States, with the suffering economy, with healthcare, being ripped away with a government that not only doesn't care, but is affirmatively attacking the people. And that is, of course, related to what's
going on abroad with this never-ending war and with it being very obvious that when you have a con artist and chiefs, a deal deal deal, a deal deal, a deal war war war war war war war, it's really
“it's really disturbing and damaging and devastating. What do you make of this moment?”
Oh, I mean, this is such a dangerous moment. And I'm just so furious that we're here. I mean, the fact that we are months into this war. You know, I'm somebody who worked in national security. I was a diplomat. I served in Afghanistan. I've been in combat areas and war zones. And the idea that a president is just sending our service members into harm's way without a plan, without a strategy. We've seen the loss of life. We've seen the loss of tens of billions of
dollars of money from American families, pockets, and for what purpose? I mean, the president is delusional about this war and the same way he's delusional about the 2020 election that he lost. And we're paying the price for this. And it's just getting worse and worse. So I hope the American people will see this for what it is, which is a strategic failure by a president who is putting
“his own reputation, his own legacy ahead of being commander and chief. And it's putting our service”
members in harm's way with no objectives, no end in sight. And that is the absolute wrong thing to be doing at a time when the American people are begging for relief when it comes to high prices in affordability. Right. And it's shattering everything. It's shattering. Let's go in on here. It's shattering whatever was left of a potential legacy, which I thought really didn't even exist to the, you know, to the first place. And talk about that, though, because of your national
intelligence background, the level of, you know, intelligence that would go into making assessments. And it just genuinely seems on a day-to-day basis. The Donald Trump posts these things on social
media and just kind of, and it's just kind of winging it. And as North Star is tends to be always
doing the exact wrong thing. I mean, right now it's, let's bomb a, the lesson from Trump is, you know, what we learned for the past five months. Bomb more. Then let's announce it on cent-com, like an episode. Like we're starting. We're ending. Hey, guys, you want to do a deal now and meanwhile, our troops are in harm's way. We don't have the Thad and Patriot Interceptors
“really anymore. Seems to even be able to stop, you know, or, or, or, or, right. So what's going on?”
Yeah, I'm going to look what we're immensely exposed right now. Our service members are in harm's way. And we have a president that is just living in a fantasy. I mean, is delusional about this. And there's no national security council anymore in any real way to be able to give real updates about what's happening. You know, we have Secretary Hegg said running around the halls of Congress right now trying to pretend like this is all part of the plan that we need to just give them
more money to then just throw into the bottomless pit of this new forever war that we seem to be involved in. Meanwhile, Iran is just watching us flailing. You know, we are at such a moment of weakness. And the other thing I want to just contrast this is, while while the president's launching these new attacks on Iran, he is literally going after our summer. Our closest allies, you know, throwing up a 50% tariff against Canada. I mean, we are so alone as a country right now. You know, he has
done his best to be able to burn these bridges, you know, insulting our NATO allies. And then going
right back into this war that is raising prices again over $75 billion that American families have
had to spend more when it came to gas and diesel, so it's the beginning of this war. Not to mention the tens of billions of dollars more when it comes to our defense expenditures. I mean, this is costing us a fortune and raising our prices. Meanwhile, he doesn't even want to sign his name on the housing law, like good for him. You know what, I don't even want him to sign that housing law because then now he can't take any credit for it because he did nothing for it.
All he's doing is making things worse.
I mean, we are losing everything he doesn't, you know, what else would you expect from a lifelong
loser? But he's he's losing. But we could always talk about, you know, that because he loses
every day and it is. It's it's tough right now to wake up and see the person who's supposed to be in charge, putting the entire country through a humiliating struggle. But you made a big, you made a big announcement, you know, earlier today because as I've always been saying, yes, we need to make sure we oppose this guy and this regime with every inch and with every ounce of energy that we have.
“But we also have to be saying, well, here's what we're for. So talk to us about, you know, I think”
it's important because when you're doing, when you're seeing and you're speaking to your constituents and they're talking about the cost of living, they're talking about health care. They're talking about what their families are going through. So talk about your, they're talking about absolutely, I mean, top of this right now when we see the guts to gutting of Medicaid, you know, the affordable care act, you know, some of the hardest conversations I had are parents worried about what kind of
care their kids going to get, you know, a kid with disabilities or a kid that needs to support for chronic illnesses like asthma and others. What I put forward is a vision for this country that is going to guarantee health care for every child. I call it medic kids. In the same way that we have this pillar of universal care for our seniors, we needed for our children. You know, this is something that would automatically enroll every child born in this country into health care,
to be able to provide that guarantee right now, 4.4 million kids, 4.4 million American kids in this country do not have health insurance. And a staggering 23 million kids are underinsured, which means that their health care doesn't meet their needs. I mean, that is outrageous in the research, most powerful country in the world. And we can do this, we can ensure every single child for a fraction of our defense budget. I mean, this is something that is absolutely necessary
“needs to fulfill that promise. As we build towards universal care, I think this argument here,”
focusing on the kids can really spark the kind of debate and discussion we need in this nation about what we're for, about how we can save people money and how we can ensure that we're making sure that our children, our most precious children are protected. You know, so for our listeners and our viewers who are watching this though, you know, they'll say, you know, great, but with the Republicans and Maga seem to be focusing more on how do we take taxpayer dollars or increase
the debt for never-ending wars and for Donald Trump's vanity projects and ballrooms and whatever
the hell he's, you know, wakes up and putting his face on money or whatever it is. You know, what's your message to the people because I think people will say great, you know, Senator Kim is fighting for us and there are a lot of people, you know, out there, you know, who would join Senator Kim in this effort. But what do we do now when you have this mania out there saying, here's, you know, what? I feel that he, as he'll say, look, he'll go out and he'll say, look, you have a concrete plan,
but Trump will say, you know, look, I've done a most favored nation's provision and everybody's health care right now is 700,000 percent less than what you are, and people like know it, know it, so what are you talking about? Yeah, I mean, look, what we can say about what Trump has done is that because of the Medicaid cuts, there are two million fewer kids on Medicaid and chip,
“now then there were in January, 2025 when he came into the office. That's what his accomplished,”
two million fewer kids and that's going to add on top of the 4.4 million that we said are unsure of, we're going to continue to see that number skyrocket. But again, as you pointed out and I agree with you, like we can't just be talking about what we're against. Yes, I will fight with tooth every tooth in the hill against these cuts, as I've had been and I will push for, but as someone who ran in a midterm election when Trump was in his first term,
what I, what I know is you've got to show people what you're for, you've got to show what that vision is, what's that change is? Because I'll be honest, just restore a Medicaid to where it was before Trump came into office again, that's not good enough, you know, again, they're her over 4 million kids without insurance. What is our vision? How are we actually going to solve these problems and try to prevent someone like Trump in the future from dismantling it again? And so
I really do believe that we need to show the voters, show the American people what it is that we want to be pushing forward on. I don't think we've done that enough. And I think that
that's going to be critical for us to create the contrast and not just build off of the outrage
The anger, but channel that frustration into energy towards actually building...
I think that's where we're going to have to go through the midterms leading up to the 2020
“election. And I want a central part of that to be about Medicaid's, this idea that we can provide”
this guarantee that we can take that weight and that concern and anxiety off of the shoulders
of parents and be able to look all these kids of the eye and say you will get to be able to see
“a doctor whenever you need to, you will get treated whenever you need to, you know, that is something”
I believe our country needs to do. Senator Andy Kim, Senator from New Jersey, thanks for joining us.
