The House State adjourned until 2.

So Congress has stood a jaw now for over two weeks, not in session while the United States

has engaged in this horrific and disastrous war in Iran, the failed negotiations in Islamabad.

And now we're seeing what magma jonson has actually been doing over the past two weeks and folks, it is sick. Some video footage that the mightest touch network was able to obtain emerged. It's magma jonson speaking in Virginia, as they magga Republicans are trying to prevent people from voting in favor of the new maps, the new congressional districts that were put in place in Virginia. There's a referendum that the people have to vote on in response to Donald Trump

starting in Texas, but all the jerrymandering that Donald Trump did Democrats fought back.

And so at magma jonson is using these two weeks for, we see it right here. He's in Virginia

with the former Virginia governor, young kid and magma jonsonsons out there telling people, you know, you got to vote against this jerrymandering. How dare the Democrats jerrymandering. This is not what our constitution was based on. And so the reason that magma jonson has shut down Congress now for two weeks is to engage in cheap stunts like this. And then magma jonson, I mean, it's fairly pathetic. I'll show you the video. He's like, please, please, we need to win in the

midterms because the Democrats, they're going to impeach Donald Trump. And they're going to investigate Donald Trump. And they're going to do all of these woke things and something about women, men, sports, man, woke this woke that he's like, by the way, in front of a crowd of like 12 people showed up to watch him, the former governor and to watch like the entire Virginia congressional delegation, like nobody is there. I want you to watch as magma Mike here, you know, start saying,

they're going to impeach Donald Trump if you don't help us. This is so utterly pathetic. Let's play this clip right here. They would do exactly the opposite if they took the majority back in the house.

Have been for a bit. You know that they went in peace with the president in the first week of the

new Congress in January. But it would get far worse than that because they would roll the markets that would turn all the communities of Congress into investigative bodies. They would go into law fair again. All the woke crazy agendas out that they tried to waste the public country, and that the country rejected in 2020 for them. They wouldn't bring it right back. And then they wouldn't have used the president real when the borders, they wouldn't have turned into women's

locker rooms and bureau sports, train surgeries for everybody as the president says, right? Without friends in, all of the crazy stuff that the American people rejected, they want to bring it back. More from magma Mike Johnson as he starts talking about how unfair it is that Democrats are now gerrymandering Virginia. And this is so unfair. Magma Mike says because the Republican majority in

the House of Representatives is so slim and how could the Democrats are the gerrymandering party?

Hey, magma Mike, the Democrats were the ones who put forward a law. Remember those things called laws, right? They put forward a bill that they wanted to turn into a law that magma Republicans were against to ban political gerrymandering period, full stop. You all voted against that. And then your plan would trump was to gerrymandor Texas to pick up five seats and then starting with Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats fought back. And now they're fighting

back in Virginia. And now you're whining in front of this crowd of like 12 people here play this clip right here. And one of the smallest margin in the US history right now we had a special election last Tuesday. So I have an embarrassment of riches guys. We have two low margin right now. We were down to one okay. We have got to get every single one of these patriots on this state

reelected in November and I know you're committed to no bus get that done. But that's why the

highest America were upon your state right now. And I'm telling you what you're doing though the obvious thing. The highest America ever upon you because you have the power in your demands. This is a very serious deal. You have the power to say no to this totally scandalous unlawful unconstitutional democratic gerrymandering scheme that they're trying to push upon this state. You get to say no. And then magma mike is like, and that they're all Marxists,

the Democrats are a bunch of Marxists play this clip. You also have the power to say no to Abigail Spamberg's trade. Okay can I call something charitable together? She talks like a moderate and she governs like a Marxist. I mean, this is this is serious enough. And you don't have the power to say no to this

Insurgent left Democrat party.

know? This is not your father's Democrat party. They're their open Marxists. They believe in

everything that is the opposite of what made in America the greatest nation in the history of

the world. You have another very important amount. You have the power to protect fair maps in

Virginia and to protect truly the entire house Republican majority in the Congress. That's in Europeans right now. This is big stuff. And then as Donald Trump is posting AI images of himself as Jesus and Donald Trump posting like fake information that he saved Ed McMan's home in 2000 and eight, which is like a totally fake and made up story or Donald Trump talking about blockhating all of the Persian Gulf. Magamik has the audacity to say, and these Democrats, they're crazy man.

They're a bunch of crazy people. I mean, you got to be like the level of social

path to arrangement of these magas. They're like the Democrats are the crazy ones. Why you get your y'all are literally a bunch of nut cases. Like legitimately the craziest human beings around right now is like all of you, Mago weirdos. But go ahead and then go ahead. You're playing this lip of magamik. This is not a contract with America election cycle. You guys did that. You signed the contract with Americans, 2024. You were fulfilling those promises. This promises

made promises kept. He said, Mike, this isn't a contract with America election. This is a contrast for America. It is a contrast between Republicans, returned to common sense and the Democrats were

radical and will agenda. To put it bluntly, it's a contrast between common sense and crazy, okay?

Crazy. Do you remember the president of this game that you knew in what he just kind of went out for a couple of times? And at one point, he looked over to the Democrats and he said, "Ditchy, you're crazy." They are. We all applauded. I know you stood up with your living rooms and said,

"Yes, they have." Because that's what this is. It's not your father's Democrat for me.

And the distinction not being a higher because of that look. And I'll just show you what was going on before that you had Glenn Young kid right here. The former governor of Virginia is like, "We need a vote. No one this jerrymandering. This is Democrat jerrymandering. This is very, very, very unfair." You're playing this clip. Vote. No. It's that simple. Vote. No. Against jerrymandering. Vote. No. Against being silenced.

Vote. No. Against being lied to. Vote. No. And demonstrate to the United States of America that Virginia's lead we do not follow. Now look, this is super important. If you used Medicare.gov to get Medicare Advantage Plan information, you may want to double check your plan. The Provider Directory had inaccurate information on it. And it's possible you signed up for a plan that doesn't actually cover your existing doctors. Listen, folks. It's easy to choose the wrong Medicare plan.

And unfortunately, Medicare mistakes can cost thousands of dollars. That's why we partner with

chapter. When you need to choose a Medicare plan, call them. They're the only national advisor that compares and recommends every Medicare plan across Medicare supplement, Medicare Advantage and Part D. And they've helped people save over $1,100 on health care costs. In fact, they've helped hundreds of you. And they might as touch communities save thousands and get better coverage. These guys won't push you to buy a plan. You don't want to. And their support is completely free.

So if you're on Medicare or will be soon, call them at 82 Medicare. They'll help you understand enrollment options and find ways to save on your health care. Again, call them at 82 Medicare. And so if you just want to see what these magas we're doing though as they shut down Congress, refusing to engage in their article one power. Right. It's Congress's authority to declare a war. Do a war powers authorization, revoked Donald Trump's ability at all to engage in this

unlawful war and war crimes. But no, that's not what the magas are doing. You have, I say, maga Republican Congress member Turner because he is a maga Republican, because look at his behavior. This guy was supposed to pretend to be like a centrist. He's not at all. He's a member of the oversight and armed services committee. And in fact, he was the post to be the leader of the armed services committee. But he was kind of brushed aside. And here, he's been asked a pretty

Basic question on face to the nation.

mind the straight of her mood? Did the navy remove the minds? Did the Iran mind the straight

of her moves? Do you know anything that's happening? Because Congress is supposed to conduct

oversight of this. So maga Republican Congress member Turner. Do you know anything about this?

Here, watch what he says. Play this clip. Did they mind the straight of her moves? Because in that tweet today, the present also said they might not have. Because he said no, I think you'll have to ask the president. The point that Congress has not done that. You'll think you'll have oversight in armed services. Do you feel like this has actually been adequately explained to you because the American public does not? The president just tweeted this this morning. So you'll

have to ask the president. We would love to ask the president or the secretary of state or the secretary of defense. But members of Congress from his party are the only ones sitting here today. And we do appreciate you answering questions on it. Thank you, Berger. All right. We'll be right back. Then more from a maga Republican Congress member, Mike Turner, who said this conflict is ongoing. And then to our credit, the host is like, yeah, but didn't Donald Trump say that the war is one,

what do you mean the conflict is ongoing? I thought you said that the isn't this war supposed to be over? Here, watch this. Let's play this clip. Preventing that. However, the negotiation itself

is proof of the fact that militarily, you cannot achieve destruction of nuclear ambition. Is it not?

No, it's not because they're still ongoing. And the president has not been going. This conflict, this act, the negotiations. But the question of the war is why? This is not over. And as it's not over, Iran is going to have to come to the realization as as or even the JCPO, the original enrichment deal that Obama had negotiated where he said we're not going to allow them to have the weapon, but we're just going to walk and we're going to watch them in rich until they get close enough.

And then we'll take military action. And you have maga Republican Congress member, Byron Donalds. And you know, you want to see the cover up of the Epstein files in real time. You have Kristen Welker over at Meet the Press said, so are you going to pen bondy supposed to sit for her deposition on Tuesday? She was subpoenaed by the house oversight

committee. You sit on the house oversight committee. Don't you want to have her over here?

You're listening to what he says play this clip. I want to move to some domestic issues now.

Major headline this week. The first lady Melania Trump put Jeffrey Epstein back in the headlines

when she made a surprise announcement denying ties to the convicted sex offender. You're remember of the house oversight committee, which was scheduled to hear from former attorney general Pam Bondi this coming Tuesday about her handling of the Epstein files. The Justice Department says Bondi's ouster excuses her from having to appear. Do you think Pam Bondi should testify this week? Oh, look, I don't actually at this point. I don't really think so. Now that she's a former attorney

general of the United States. Well, Hillary Clinton was an officer she testified. Well, let me be let me be very clear. We're going to be continually with our investigations into this matter. The oversight committee has been steadfastly working on this also with survivors who chose to come forward to bring more information. I think if a former AG Bondi comes in, that'll be a determination of the committee as a whole. Let me also say that the now former attorney general

she did come into the committee in a session to have open conversation and dialogue with Republican and Democrat members, Republican members came, let me explain this is important. Republican members came to that committee hearing, asking the attorney the former attorney general Bondi important questions. The Democrats refuse to ask her any questions because they wanted the cameras on because they wanted to turn it into a political circus. And more about the

subpoena where he's like, well, we'll see. We'll see. I mean, we'll see here play this clip right here. Since for you, you actually voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton and criminal content earlier this year for failing to comply with the subpoena, why shouldn't the same standard apply to the former attorney general Pam Bondi? Well, like I said, we'll see what happens when we get back to DC if the committee still wants to form a AG to come in, then I'm quite sure a Pam Bondi will come in and you won't even get down

that road. What happened with Bill and Hillary is that we had a bipartisan a subpoena for them to

come in and the Clinton's basically ignored the subpoena. So we had to move through towards criminal

content proceedings because Bill and Hillary were trying to negotiate their pay out of actually coming in and answering questions. And I just find it, you know, so fascinating. I think would be

Putting it lightly that as you have magma Mike Johnson saying the Democrats a...

and the Democrats are the crazy one. I mean, I did a whole video end at this morning, but you saw

Donald Trump's post this morning, right? And Donald Trump's post throughout the day,

you know, and his interviews with Maria Barda Roma, where he starts talking about renaming the straightive or mousse and calling it the Donald Trump goal for changing the name of the Persian Gulf and doing a blockade because he read about it and just the news dot com or something, some right wing blog. He attacked the pope. What about that magma Mike? He attacked the pope. What now all of magas said the Pope is Marxist, the Catholic church is a Marxist organization.

That's that's literally what the magas are going with, right? Okay, so magma Mike, let me just ask you a question. If you think this behavior is normal right here, here, play this clip. Going to be enough. The blockade in the straight, the opening up capacity in the United States, or it's just going to be enough to lower the price of oil and gas are. Well, it's going to be eventually it's going to be lowered. No, it might not happen initially, but it's going to

it's going to go down. When this is all over, look, the stock market, the Dow, hit 50,000. It was supposed to be in four or five years. They said it won't happen during his day. With all of that, let me just share with you, just to do a refresh of all of this. Let me show you democratic

Senator Ossoff, who gave an incredible speech as part of his campaign for reelection in the Senate.

This is some of the top net. I said, it's not going to say it's some of the top messaging, but this is just being a human being and fighting for people. Watch democratic Senator Ossoff here play this clip. I don't know if you saw, but the president apparently promised partens for the entire White House staff. Did you all see that? Which I guess is the kind of thing you do when you run the White House like a casino. Now, maybe the West Wing's too busy placing

calcium polymarket bets on the war to care, but Americans are getting hurt, hurt by the illegal tariffs that send prices higher and higher by skyrocketing health premiums, by four dollar gas. Hurt by insurance companies that deny claims for needed care. Hurt by the hedge funds, snatching up tens of thousands of homes across our state. Hurt by the data center is driving up power bills. And so when you're out there talking to folks

over the next six months, remind them what the president of the United States said last week. "It's not possible," he said, for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare.

That's what the president said. He said we can only afford to fund war.

And then two days later, released his budget demanding we increase pentagon spending to one and a half trillion dollars per year, paid for by ending the program that helps millions afford utility bills, by canceling affordable housing programs and by cutting cancer research. All this just one year, after they sent insurance premium skyrocketing and gutted Medicaid, to cut taxes for the rich. This is their answer to America's cost of living crisis.

This is their answer to the Savannah nurse working a double shift, whose utilities are about to get shut off. The tiffed county farmer getting crushed by a trade war and now diesel and now fertilizer. The family and college park skipping doctors' visits because premiums are just too high. In Donald Trump's America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices. But Americans have seen through this scam and it's

up to Georgia Democrats to end it. Are you ready to win Georgia Democrats?
