GOP Cornered as Democrats Expose Their Arguments on Capitol Hill

You can tell why they didn't want to show back up and why they want to get the hell

back home. Democratic Congress members like Nagu's Congress member, Raskin, Congress member, McGovern and others were leading the charge exposing these mega Republican Congress members for the utter hypocrites and Trump's sick of Fantic bootlickers that they are. I want you to watch as Democratic Congress member Nagu's in the Rules Committee expertly

cross-examine these mega Republican Congress members showing that they and Donald Trump are the communist authoritarian from within here, play this clip. Now, that cutting about five minutes of my question there.

“So, going back to you, Mr. Style. Socialism, owning the means of production, right?”

That's a piece of it, yeah? Okay. What would you call the Trump administration acquiring

a 10% equity stake in Intel? A 15% stake in rare earth producer MP materials and a 10% stake in lithium America's and trilogy meals. That's an American verse policy to make sure we cannot compete, China. Do you believe that the government should own grocery stores? No. Now, would be socialist to you? I think that would be a type of overreach of the federal government,

absolutely. Would that be socialist to you? That'd be a former socialist man. Okay. And if Donald Trump announces tomorrow that he's going to take a 20% equity stake in croaker, would that be socialism to you? I'd want to see the details. Oh, you don't want to see the details! No, but understand the understandage would it understand that what? Understand the different socialism. You would 50% for the folks watching

“at home, watch the slide of hand. Because I think this is right at the end! Okay.”

I'm asking it on this question. You said if government owns grocery stores, that would be socialist. But if, of course, Donald Trump were to announce equity stake in a grocery store, well, I'd have to really see the details, because we all know the play, Mr. Style, if I'm not sure any policy, or Trump would have a different way. And we heard from Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin on the House floor. And he, again,

exposed Donald Trump for being the number one cheerleader for communist authoritarians around the globe play this clip. Right. I'd answer the interesting questions raised by

by distinguished colleagues, Mr. Jordan in Syria. I'm first of all, anything that we do

to try to improve the fortunes and the well-being of the American people, our colleagues call socialist. They call Social Security Socialist. They call Medicare Socialist. They call Medicaid Socialist. So that's just water for back. The president talks about communist. The only communist on earth today are his best friends and his role models, like Kim Jong-un, who he writes love letters to. And President Xi, who he's praised more than 2,000 times in public.

And so I'll come in a second, how about Vladimir Putin, who he follows around like a puppy dog, Vladimir Putin was head of the KGB. So if there's a problem with communism, it's over on that side of the aisle. Now, good back to Democratic Congress member Nugus in the rules committee. This was another pitch-perfect cross-examination in the rules committee of these Mago Republican Congress members. He explained how look we've been out of session for a very long

time. Mago Mike Johnson has put Congress in recess. And I've heard from my constituents that their biggest issue is the cost of living things are not affordable right now. People are suffering and struggling as a result of this catastrophic and a lawful war in Iran. People are worried about AI that data centers will be put in their backyards. People are feeling this Trump authoritarianism everywhere. And they hate it. But for Mago Republican Congress members, the big push when you

got back on Capitol Hill was to delay or block protections for the North Atlantic right well.

“That's what your number one priority is. Watch Democratic Congress member Nugus expose these”

Mago Congress member fools play this clip. I imagine you had a chance to talk to a lot of constituents back home. That did. And I assume that they wanted to talk to you about health care. Fair enough. They, they talk about a lot of things. But one thing they wanted to talk about, especially down in El Dorado. Let me, let me, let me ask you. All right, three specific gas prices. Let me tell you my experience. I was in Colorado. So the vision was a lot of constituents. Gas prices came up quite a bit.

Health care came up quite a bit. Jobs economic opportunity came about a lot. I assume that's similar to your experience right? Absolutely. And El Dorado, they actually produce oil and gas. Here's the question. How many of your constituents brought up the North Atlantic right well? Zero. Zero. No,

district brought that up by the, when I was back. I did a bunch of town halls. No one said Congresswoman

“Nugus, you ought to go back to Washington DC and make it your priority. The very first bill,”

after a 30 day eight day recess ought to be a bill undermining environmental protections for the 380 North Atlantic right whales that are left in existence on planet Earth. That's house republicans top priority. I'm back in the red committee. I've been here for five minutes and the very first bill that I have to consider is a bill that would eliminate protections for the North Atlantic right well. And I just, I can't imagine how that's a priority for the people in Arkansas or Colorado.

Then we heard from Democratic Congress member Mick government. He always gives incredibly

impassioned speeches from the House floor. This was no different. This is absolutely inspiring. I want you to watch the whole thing. Let's play this clip. I know that those are the Republican talking points. But I got news for you. Nobody's buying it. I mean, I don't know whether my friend was home talked to her constituents over the break. But I was home talking to my constituents. I was in other states talking to voters as well. And you know what? Life has gotten harder for them.

Their prices of everything are through the roof and to the extent that anybody, you know, any working person got a small tax cut while the rich got these big tax cuts, millionaires and billionaires got all these big tax cuts. The extent that they got that, any little tax break they received has been totally erased by the cost of living. And by the and by high gas prices because of this illegal reckless war. And by the way,

wouldn't you think that Congress would want to exercise its constitutional

“prerogatives and actually debate the war in Iran and actually vote whether to authorize it or not?”

We've been forced to try to bring, you know, privileged resolutions to the floor to try to get any kind of a debate on this. But I mean, there should be hearings. There should be a full vote of whether to authorize this and whether or not people want to go on record is saying we're going

to spend over a hundred billion dollars on this stupid reckless war in Iran, by the way,

which resulted in the straight or her moves being closed, which was open before the war began. I mean, we're going to spend the money on that and we're not going to spend it on helping alleviate the high cost of living on people in this country. You know, I mean, this Congress is the least productive Congress in history. This has been a total failure, a total failure. And I would just encourage my Republican colleagues. Don't take my word for it. Look at every

“public opinion poll, including those that are coming out by Fox News and right wing influencers.”

They'll tell you, nobody's buying it. You know, and one of the things that I've heard about over and over again during the August work period was that the American people are rightfully outraged that an out-of-control AI data center build up is wreaking havoc on their communities. Data centers are driving up utility costs and polluting water supplies all why big tech reached record profits. Yet now with November on the horizon, some house Republicans are acting

as if they did not turbocharge the data center build up. I mean, a year ago, Republicans were bragging about giving tax breaks to big tech in order to build data centers across rural America. You can check it out yourself in section 70421 of the big ugly bill. According to the Republican chairman of the tax ready committee, this provision would quote significantly reduced barriers for large-scale capital intensive projects in rural areas, most notably hyperscale data

centers and quote, "That's you guys." That provisional loan costs the American taxpayers $40 billion

dollars. That's money that is going to big tech to build unpopular data centers instead of lowering the cost of health care and housing or groceries. And I want to ask unanimous consent to insert it into the record an article entitled "Big Beautiful Success Story, rural America, rebound on the horizon with new opportunities, own incentives." That's it. I reserve my time. Now we heard from our friend, Democratic Congresswoman

Hamliger Dug, and she said that with magma johnson and these magas rolling into Dallas for Trump Apollosa that it may break the servers of grinder in Dallas. So she wanted to give notice to grinder and to all of the data centers in the Dallas area that there may be an overload of activity

clip. Well, I know he's gonna get ready for this gaslighting convention that they have next week in Dallas.

I'm just gonna ask grinder to make sure you are at capacity because Republicans are coming to a town near you. But my johnson doesn't have a platform. He doesn't have a platform. He doesn't have a message. They have not had any kind of success. So of course he's too afraid to have his numbers here and Washington D.C. where the press will be pounding them every single day asking them what

“they've done for the American people and they have no answer. So that's what cowers do. They said”

their members home. More from Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin right here calling out the maga Republicans for wanting to seed the authority of Congress by supporting an amendment to the

Constitution to freeze the total amount of Supreme Court justices to nine Supreme Court justices,

which no Americans ask. There's very little to no Americans. You know what's working well right now. You know, an institution that we need to just protect and preserve the status quo. The Supreme Court, they're doing their job. Of course, they're not. We have a right-wing extremist out of touch illegitimate fascist Supreme Court. And thankfully Congress member Raskin is calling these fools out. Play this clip. Why suddenly should we amend the Constitution

of the United States to revoke our own powers simply because President Trump happens to like this Supreme Court and they voted him immunity from felony crimes committed while in office. These so-called textualists. These so-called originalists. Where do you see in the Constitution anything about the president having immunity? When the framers wanted to write immunity in the Constitution, they did it like with the speech and debate clause for members of Congress.

“Maybe that's what they're going to want to give up next. The speech and debate clause”

protecting us from prosecution by the executive branch for saying things that he doesn't like. Well, that's not in the original Constitution. The president's got it, but they made it up. Where did that come from? The storm brought it. They invented it. They call themselves originalists. They wasn't in the federalist papers. It wasn't in the original Constitutional convention records. It's not in any of the ratifying convention records. Where did that doctrine come from?

They made it up. So we all can argue about what the Supreme Court does. But nobody yet has made was single satisfactory argument about why we should freeze. For the first time in American history,

the number of justices at nine when it's always been up to the representatives of the people

in the House and the Senate. Let me just close on that thought. The Senate already gets some say over the Supreme Court by rendering the power of advice and consent, generally times it's fired. Millie power we've got is the power they want to give up. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back. Gentlemen yields back. And we heard from Congress, woman, Melanie Stansbury, from the great state of New Mexico. She always brings the fire on the floor of the house, play this clip.

Well, Mr. Speaker, today the GOP is proposing a constitutional amendment to lock in the current Conservatives Supreme Court. In fact, it would take away the power of this Congress to reform the

“court. And the question is why? Who asked them to do this? Where did this proposal come from?”

And why are Republicans arguing that they have to protect the court from reform? This is a court that has under this Conservative majority undermined democracy undermined our rights and undermine the system of checks and balances that make this country great. And these reforms would bring equity to the court. They would bring fairness to the court and they would bring ethics to the court. So why are my colleagues across the aisle bringing this constitutional amendment?

It is clear in the debate here on the floor itself. They don't even know how many justices are currently sitting. In fact, my colleague across the aisle just claimed that there are currently 13 justices sitting on the court. So what is this? Political theater? Is this what you plan to run on? Because you don't actually have an agenda to run on this election cycle because you've decimated the economy because you have an unending war in the Middle East. And

because Americans can't afford their health care, their housing, and to put food on the table in a roof over their head. Well, we are a hell no on this resolution and we'll vote no. Next, we heard from Democratic Congress member Menendez about the horrific conditions in these detention center torture chambers that Maggie Republicans created for immigrants where mostly non criminals are being tortured and perverse and sick ways by Stephen Miller and his goons.

Play this clip. Last year, I stood outside Delaney Hall in New York, New Jersey and made the

“dire observation that no one is safe in Trump, America. Since then, three people, that we know of”

have died after medical emergencies at Delaney Hall, including Edwin Lopez Cornejo, who lives behind his 12-year-old US citizen daughter. In private detention centers across the country, ice in their private partners like the Geo Group are continuing down this dangerous path without any regard to the human cost of their actions. In my over 20 visits to Delaney Hall, I have seen a

man with a debilitating condition refused a wheelchair for weeks and when finally given one was

forced to stay in medical isolation for months, a woman who suffered a miscarriage and was told she had a psychological pregnancy. Request for medication and post-op care that go on answered. These are not mistakes or oversights. This is a deliberate choice by this administration to inflict pain and suffering because their cruelty knows no bounds. And this is happening across the country.

“31 people died in ice detention last year. The most and more than 20 years. This year,”

24 more people have lost their lives. But ice isn't just killing people in detention. They are shooting American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Prety and Brought Daylight.

They should outrage every American. And yet here in this chamber, what has been the response

of our Republican colleagues? Silence. And while they carry their bibles to church on Sunday, they carry the word of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller every other day of the week. And they are responsible for what is happening across our country. Instead of finding their voice to speak out against this administration, they are trying to suppress and silence the voices of Americans, whether by limiting their ability to vote by mail or limiting the number of polling locations

in Texas, because Republicans know they have failed. They have failed their constituents. They have failed their country. And they know Americans are angry as I am angry. But we will end this national nightmare with or without them. We will protect our communities. And we will hold accountable everyone who is responsible for the lawlessness, pain, and terror that this administration

“has inflicted on all of our communities. And we will remember everyone here who states silent”

in this moment. Are you all back? Then our team on Capitol Hill at the Midest Touch Network caught up with Maga Republic and Congress member McCormick. And we asked him buddy, but you

signing the second Epstein discharge petition, which will now allow the victims and survivors

to have causes of action against the attorney general shortly. If you support survivors, you're going to sign this thing, huh? Watch this squirmly little weasel. Maga Republic and Congress member McCormick behave like the squirmly little weasel that he is, play this clip. I'm sorry, go ahead. Can Republicans suppose for its citizenship and also support the U.S. men's national considering the top two areas. So first of all, is he a citizen now? Yes,

yes. So what's the problem? Well, he's a product of birth races and ship, which is different. That's trying to do the way with his stuff. You're not going to, you're not going to relax like living in a big, big way assistance, right? Not, actually not. So back in 1914, we had anybody can come to America? Yeah. And nobody in a problem with that. Free immigration, by the way, why is that? Is that the navigator? I'm not sure. Oh, military and freedom

talked about it. He's a great economist because something changed between them and probably the 70s and 80s when all of a sudden, even back then, we started recognizing there was a problem. Why is that? What's the difference between open borders and closed borders between 1914 and the 70s and 80s? Well, some people would say that it's because white immigrants were coming into 1914 and Latinos were coming into 70s and 80s. Not all. If you have jobs

to come to and your paying taxes, everybody's happy. But if you come here and you're starting to take welfare and we're paying for you being here, that is a cost to America. The business of America is business. If you're doing something that's bad for the American economy, that doesn't lift the tide of all ships here, then it's not good for America. This is about the American country that we've all loaned, uh, grown to a customer to. Do you think it has to

make common sense? I mean, common sense is what we're supposed to be about. Do you think they're vacuuming? We then caught up with veteran Pat Ryan, Democratic Congress member, indicating that he will be investigating the Department of Defense influencer operation whereby many of these MAGA X influencers are actually the general police, the deep state. Yep, the Pentagon has created

They created their deep state feds, MAGA X influencers on what used to be Twitter,

“who just parrot regime propaganda for the fragile, weak little pathetic individual”

Pete Hexip play this clip. Yeah, I mean, and we think they're paying these incredible corruption.

It's straight out of an Orwell, not only listen to what this authoritarian regime is saying, in the middle of a war where Americans are dying in all of us are paying at the pump, and we're not even going to have a public press briefing with you since May, we're going to set up an army of propaganda. I mean, it is really, really dark and deeply on American that that's the case. This is one of many things that we need to investigate,

but thanks to that great post reporting colleagues, uh, and I are now going to add this to our growing list of oversight we need when we retake the house. And we caught up with AOC before

she headed into Capitol Hill. Here's what she told us. I mean, again, I say, but one in Mara Logo,

let's put a data center in each one of Donald Trump's golf courses. Let's put one in New Jersey

“on his golf course. Let's put one. You know, I mean, we got rid of Trump like this, right?”

They're being somehow, I think, put a data center in Mara Logo, put a data center, you know, at the only reason I don't say put one on the white house long is because she'll be out of their soon, and hopefully it'll be a dinner credit there. But, you know, I think, you know, if he loves him so much, he can have it. And then when she left AOC, told us the following as well, let's play it. Tires. Tires, I mean, you think that you'll support Tiniwa at St. Biles transparency, yeah? Absolutely.

“And what do you think about it? Must be. I'll be ready for this.”

Uh, we should, done it. They are not, um, following the law. And you've got the Trump administration has been throwing their most effort and their most political and social capital in protecting a bunch of pedophiles, point blank area. And it discussed me that they are breaking the law and not disclosing what is in the Epstein Biles from the public to end to Congress in order to protect pedophiles. That's just the beginning, middle and end of a whole story. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Put

those data centers in the backyard of Trump's golf courses if he thinks they're so gravy and so great.
