There out, Magamai Johnson plans to shut down the House of Representatives ye...
sending the House into recess until the end of the midterm elections.
“Magamai previously said that he would not shut down the House and go into recess”
before the end of September, but Magamai can Donald Trump they all lie when it turned out the Democrats were going on the offense on trying to expose the Epstein cover up and calling out the Trump regime and Magar Republicans for making everything far more expensive. The Magar Republicans are like, "We don't want to be here in Washington, D.C., when people put cameras to our faces and actually ask us questions." We're going home. So Magamai is sending
Congress into recess again very shortly, but we have the footage, by the way, when Magamai was just asked, "This past week, are you going to shut down the House as Thomas Massey claimed you
were because you're covering up the Epstein files? Look at what Magamai said, play this clip."
Mr. Speaker, Thomas Massey, Mr. Speaker, Thomas Massey is now alleging that you are going to hold the House in recess until after the midterm elections due to the Epstein file's transparency act. So let me tell you how stupid Thomas Massey's comment is. If he would come to our House Republican conference meetings as we had this morning, he would have heard me say privately as I've said publicly. Republicans are here to work. We have a schedule of calendar that's been
out for a year. We are inviting by that calendar. We are going to work all the way through September and every day that's on the calendar so long as people like him don't stop the progress. So that is a non-sensical statement by someone who is not participating in as a full member of the Congress. And it's really sad that he doesn't. And then we have all these Magar Republicans running away from the mightest touch network on Capitol Hill. Our cameras are there.
We just tried to ask Magar Republican Congress member Van Orden, a basic question about affordability. The fact that the American people are suffering as things are far more expensive. And Congress member Van Orden said, "Patience, I don't like dealing with your stupid
“questions." He said to our reporter on Capitol Hill, Pablo Monrique. He said, "That's what he's”
paying more for. Patience." And he hates stupid questions about affordability. You're playing this clip. Congressman, real quick before you guys go out. Yes. What are you paying more for right now than you were two years ago? Patience. So I can deal with your stupid questions. Got it. Thank you, guys. You're welcome. We then caught up with Magar Republican Congress member Nelson who was leaving the house earlier in the day. And we asked him, "What do you think about this discharge
petition for the Epstein files? Would you sign it?" And he said, "The Epstein files, that's over. No one's talking about that anymore." People don't care about the Epstein files. The DOJ's got an under control. Folks, these Magar Republicans are a bunch of scumbags who cover up child sex trafficking
rings. Play this clip. You think you'll sign on to the second Epstein. You want to see
you'll be signing on to the second Epstein files. The DOJ, everybody's getting to the bottom of it. We need to focus on other things and everybody wants to bring the Epstein up. The Democrats want to bring the Epstein up. Some of the anti-trumpers want to bring the Epstein up because we're what, two months away from a general election. So Epstein, let's just, we got other things to focus on. Okay. Thank you. And then today, their buddy, billionaire Leon Black, was supposed to testify
under oath about his connections in the Epstein files. And you know what he did. He didn't show up. Instead, he filed a lawsuit against the House of Representatives. Saying that there's no legitimate legislative purpose to investigate Epstein's connections or to have his deposition taken. With all of this going on, the American people are demanding accountability.
“They're demanding oversight. And that's what they're looking at. If and when Democrats take control”
of the House of Representatives, robust oversight, especially when it comes to the Trump regime pillaging the United States and enriching themselves to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. People are asking what accountability is going to look like if and when Democrats take control of the House. And lots of people are floating the idea that for accountability to really matter, you have to discourage the unlawful gains that Donald Trump and his family have taken
from the American people with all of these damn quid pro quo deals where they even rich themselves to the tunes of billions of dollars while the American people suffer. This unjust enrichment needs to end and the money needs to be clawed back. That's what David from argues in a recent piece in the Atlantic. He writes, Trump and his family gain their present wealth by accepting payments from persons and entities seeking favors from the U.S. government selling tokens rapidly
revealed as worthless and moving markets by the use of office and trading on advanced knowledge
Of those moves.
by almost any standard of wrongfulness. The next Congress and administration should take action
to recover these wrongful gains. And in froms article, he studies other areas, other places throughout the world where autocrats and their families have enriched themselves to the tunes of massive amounts of wealth while screwing over the people. Here's an example of what he describes in 18 months in office, Trump and his family accumulated billions of dollars. Even if after Trump believes office, this wrongfully obtained fortune will offer a resource for power seeking by
his heirs. Other democracies have reclaimed plundered wealth from fallen autocrats. Some lessons from Americans from Nigeria, Peru and the Philippines and he goes on to talk about other countries where they did not ultimately claw back the money. And in those countries, the heirs were able
“to kind of rise to authoritarian power and in countries that do claw back, it's the best way”
to try to stop the rise of authoritarianism again in meanwhile. You have countries like the Netherlands so afraid that Donald Trump's going to take their gold that they have stored in the United States. They're literally moving away their gold to London because they are in, quote, crisis preparedness mode. I want to bring in Democratic Congresswoman on sorry from the house oversight committee. If the one Democrats take control of the house, Congresswoman on sorry
who's already played an incredible role, even though the Democrats are not in power in the house.
But the oversight work that you and Congressman Garcia and others have done has been incredible. But people are going to be looking to you and your committee. I think as the kind of most important tool that Democrats have, let's be clear, you can't do deals with Donald Trump as Warren Buffett says you can't do a deal with a bad person and Donald Trump is the worst type of scum out there in my opinion. You can't do deals with him or he's building a deal. You're going to
“do a deal on affordability with a guy who lies about everything. So I think people want ruthless”
accountability and I think this is a good idea. So I wanted to get your take on that and, you know, these investigations and if they lead to the foundation of that claw back, I've been discussing. I think this is a brilliant idea that we could emulate here in the United States. I mean, as you said, this is the most corrupted administration in American history and it's not even close. You have Donald Trump himself who has made billions of dollars since being president.
Then look at the entire family. The sons are all incredibly corrupt. You have the older sons, Don Jr. and Eric Trump having invested not just in crypto, but in defense companies that are profiting off of the illegal war in Iran. Baran, you know, I've been talking about the need to subpoena Baran because he's made a ton of money. He's locked in with the tape brothers and influencing their preferential treatment in the United States. So to prevent that generational authoritarianism
and corruption in the fact that they have been stealing from the American people, they need to pay for that. And I think that accountability needs to come in the form of people going to jail. People, you know, paying the consequences, but financially as well. When you think about how much the American people have suffered financially, whether it's the small businesses that have suffered as a result of tariffs, whether it's the Americans who lost their health insurance or their
food assistance or every American, practically, who's paying more for gas than ever before because of Trump's illegal war. They need to pay for that. And that, you know, I think we should look at different models that have happened across the world. I know some of the funding has gone towards education towards healthcare. We could look at, you know, Americans who will be losing their jobs as a result of artificial intelligence, which Donald Trump is advocating for and working directly
with these big AI CEOs and promoting data centers now. So I love it. I think that that could something like that could play a really big role in really restoring trust with the American people, to me. You know, people talk about political messaging this and that and I go just stop it. This is not normal times. This isn't a we can remove someone 2.5 points this way or 2.5 points that way. This is a Trump regime that, in my opinion, hates the American people. They hate our
service members. They've engaged in acts that demonstrate frankly, traitorous and treasonous behavior
“on a daily basis. And I think if you want to have a unifying principle of Trump, which I don't”
think he's all over the place, but they don't ever work from national interest. It's always from
Trump, family interest. And that hurts the nation. It is counter to. If you look at all of the problems we're facing right now, whether it's at home or in the Middle East or elsewhere,
It is quite literally because he put his own self-interest and his own making...
and family members above what normally a president would do if they said, aha, I'm working in
the interest of America. And the problem is, when you have someone who does that and it clashes
with someone who leads with national interest, like Prime Minister Carnegie of Canada, or you name the country abroad, that's working in a national interest. The nation is more powerful than the greedy ass individual who courts for himself and you rally a nation against a bloviated guy who
“hides and catering containers with Natalie. And that's why we're getting crushed to me. It's”
as simple as that. Yeah. I mean, look, Donald Trump ran for President again to stay out of jail. He would be in jail right now if he was not the president of the United States. And they they they tricked, you know, they he hates his own his own supporters. I mean, he's made that very very clear. The fact that he turned on Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spent millions of her own dollars getting the sky elected and made all sorts of promises to her and to his, you know, to
Magga about no new wars, bringing prices down. This is all about the Trump family, securing that. We see it in every single decision that is being made. I mean, the amount of corruption
that is underway every single day in broad daylight has never been seen before. I mean, I don't
think this happens on this level at this scale in the most, you know, authoritarian societies across the world. It's it's craziness. And and if we don't do everything possible to hold these people accountable and make them pay for their crimes, then we have completely lost the plot. Right. You know, I often hear people even compare him. You know, he's behaving like,
“you know, you named the authoritarian abroad. And I go honestly, let me be very clear. Those”
authoritarian's abroad deeply bad people. I said, but this guy here behaves like way crazier than that. I don't see them engage in this derange behavior that looks like a it literally looks like a
crazy person that your parents or whoever would tell you, avoid that person. If you see that
person like in a bar or in whatever, just get the hell out of what like it is literally watching a crazy person. Then I hear people try to give us these normal discussions. Oh, well, though, the Democrats were all this way. And there were puppets. I'm like, we have a crazy person who's posting and behaving like an actual psychotic lunatic like, can you just call it what it is? And I know one of the things I like about you is you call it out. You go, this guy's like a demented crazy
psycho. Like, it is. Like, what do you want? I'm not treating this thing like it's normal. There's literally not enough words. I mean, I have run out of words. He's a narcissist. He's a sociopath. He's insane. He's crazy. I mean, like every night, the guy posts like 40 different posts every single night. AI, Slop himself is this, you know, religious figure, that person or that person. I mean, what was that post he did the other day with the president and having, you know,
all the, some of the presidents in history and himself is the greatest one. I mean, it's just, it is, it's so insane. I, I, I, I feel like I'm living every day in a new episode of the black mirror, but quite literally crazier than beneath episode of ever seeing it. So, it's, you know,
“it is what it is. We're in this situation. I think most Americans have realized that this guy is,”
is insane and he's protecting pedophiles, you know, he's, again, let's not forget about the Epstein files. He is in the Epstein files more than almost anything else. And the corruption continues on that front. I mean, today we were supposed to have a, a deposition with Leon Black, another billionaire who who worked with Epstein and he didn't show up. And now we're trying to sue the committee. And I'm sure the Trump administration as a hand in that too. It's not a legitimate
legislative function to try to go after the thing that Donald Trump said was going to be his priority to uncover the child sex trafficking. It just, it turns out that the cabal are the people who are accusing the other people of the cabal. It turns out the deep state are actually the deep state. All these mag influencers are the feds. They're out there working for Hex that they're the feds on X and they're posting pedex at this. So, I mean, but we could go on on this forever. But,
but it doesn't this look weak. I mean, like for me, the part of this thing, not that it would make it better Congresswoman. If it looks strong, like I would still, but like I look at this behavior, and I'm like, these are a bunch of freaking losers. And they're behaving like the biggest loser quality, the guy's hiding in catering containers when he has Air Force won the most protective
Plane.
to me. I let you, I let you close on that and react to that. We, I mean, we've lost all credibility
“around the world. We lost that credibility in the first Trump administration, and it took so much”
work for the United States to be able to gain the trust back of our allies of partners. But this time is just on an entirely different level. When you have a situation where Donald Trump started
this illegal war with Iran, he said it with last couple of days, a couple of weeks. And then you have
the Islamic Republic regime in Iran, which is also, is a brutal regime in and of itself,
“an extremely corrupt regime. They are trolling the president of the United States regularly because”
of his antics. I mean, this guy goes on social media, conducts foreign policy, be a true social every other day where either going to be destroying Iran or they, or he, you know, applies their regime. Then he says it's a new regime. I mean, the fact that, you know, again, a nation, a regime in Iran that we have had hostile relationships with for about 50 years is, has beat the United States in this war because you have a loser like Pete Heggseth as the, the guy running the place,
the Department of Defense. And then they are just constantly making fun of Donald Trump in the
“United States. It's it's it's obscene. It's absurd. We're lucky, honestly, that worse outcomes”
haven't happened yet. We've already lost 18 American service members. It's an absolute tragedy, thousands of civilians have died. But I think with the type of incompetent, you know, loser leadership that we have, I pray every day that, you know, more people don't lose their lives, because that is truly how life and death I think that this is. I think that these people are all major national security risk to United States of America. Congresswoman Ansari, thanks for joining
us. We will be looking forward to the efforts of the House Oversight Committee in the coming weeks and years. And we appreciate the work of you and Congressman Garcia and there's everybody else on that committee on the Democratic side working for accountability. So we appreciate you.
