🚨 DEMS Launch INVESTIGATION into Trump $17 TRILLION THEFT?!!!

Did Donald Trump steal $17 trillion? And. I'm not exaggerating. Donald Trump said. that he received $17 trillion. from tariffs and from other countries, but as far as I know, the Treasury. Department doesn't have this money. We. know from the budget committees and the. appropriation committees and the finance. committees in the House and the Senate. that they don't have $17 trillion. Now, we're in a government shutdown. caused by Donald Trump and these MAGA. Republicans. So, folks, if there's $17.

trillion out there, not only does it. solve everything, but it improves. everything. It makes everybody's life so. much better. Look, we would really be in. a golden age if there's $17 trillion. It. would help the farmers. It would help healthcare for everybody. It would help education for everybody. Remember when Donald Trump talked about. those DOJ rebate checks for $5,000 or. the tariff rebate checks? Heck, maybe we. give like extra dividends. If there's. $17 trillion. out there, let's give it to the people,

right? I mean, this is what the talking. point is from Donald Trump and the MAGA. Republicans and J.D. Vance. They keep on. saying that they've been so great that. they have $17 trillion and they're. somehow connecting that to the shutdown, which is kind of counterintuitive to me. cuz if they've got $17 trillion, that's. the solve. Here, this is what just to. show you. This is Donald Trump saying it. again. He says it every day, but here, play this clip. And we have over $17 trillion, Albert. Can you believe these numbers? So, Biden.

had less than a trillion for 4 years. We. have over $17 trillion for. essentially 8 months. Pretty amazing. Wow, $17 trillion in 8 months. Look, that's that's great, but where is it? Where's the money? Did he Is it in his own bank accounts? I. don't know. I'm going to call in the. Democratic ranking member of the House. Oversight Committee who's just been. crushing it there, Congressman Robert. Garcia. I want to talk about your other.

work bringing out some additional. Epstein file batches. I want You're. doing great work. That social media. account you're running is amazing, but. this is I think a serious oversight. issue. $17 trillion is apparently. missing right now and we're in a. government shutdown. Trump keeps saying. he's got $17 trillion. Where did it go? Who the hell knows? I mean, he First of. all, Donald Trump is living in a fantasy. land. And if there is $17 trillion. the government doesn't know about it.

No, none of our committees have access. to it. Treasury has no idea what the. hell he's talking about. And so, we are. You're absolutely right. We're in a. government shutdown right now. Donald. Trump could actually reopen the. government back up, extend healthcare. subsidies, fix America's public schools, provide some subsidies lower the cost of. goods across this country. But but we. know that Donald Trump is a liar. He's. either a liar or he stashed away some. money somewhere in some magical way and. there's even more corruption happening.

So, look, the media needs to also get on. the game here. Donald Trump is claiming. that there's. $17 trillion somewhere, why isn't he. being asked the question of where that. money is every single minute of the day? And so, this this man is the. most corrupt person to obviously ever be. president. He lies, he steals, he. cheats. Now, there's apparently $17. trillion somewhere that nobody knows. about. And so, we've got to ask the. questions and I think that's at this. moment during the shutdown,

the fact that Donald Trump wants to. claim that things are getting getting. better for the American public is a. joke. Costs are going up. Healthcare. costs are going up. The grocery bill is. going up. And so, that's why we're in. this fight because we are saying hell no. to more tax cuts for billionaires and. let's actually lower the cost of. healthcare, which if we stay strong as. Democrats, we can actually hopefully. negotiate and get done. Right, I mean, one of the arguments if. you try to understand what the heck the.

MAGA Republicans are even saying when. you actually address honestly and not. with their spinning their propaganda, the issue of the Affordable Care Act tax. credits, they ultimately say the issue. is that it's too expensive. I mean, they. make up a bunch of stuff about. transgender people. I'm not going down. that route because why repeat their. stupid lies? But let's accept their the. argument that they make when you put all. that other crap aside, it's that the tax. credits are too expensive and that the. government shouldn't be helping people. get healthcare. We can help the.

billionaires, but we can't help the. That's their argument. So, if there's. $17 trillion though, you now have the. money. What I saw was that we ran a $2. trillion deficit the last fiscal year. and last month we ran a $345 billion. deficit, but actually we're in a surplus. situation and all of this gets the. farmers, right? Construction manufact. Everybody like this could be a great. opportunity. So, I'm shocked that James. Comer, your buddy who chairs the House.

Oversight Committee, doesn't he want to. know where the $17 trillion is because. it solves everything. What else would. oversight be doing other than oversight. of 65% of our GDP? Look, I mean, yeah, I mean, and and it. looks like if this keeps going, we're. going to have to investigate where the. hell these $17 trillion are. No question. because this is ridiculous that. Republicans are the hypoc the hypocrisy, right? I mean, Republicans are saying on. one hand, oh, there's not enough money. for healthcare subsidies. And then on. the other and and the other hand, they.

are stashing away money, giving it to. their billionaire friends, doing all. these tax breaks, the increasing exponentially the. national debt. So, they could really. care less about working people. What. they really are focused on is giving all. their billionaire buddies and donors. more of hardworking Americans' money. All the labor, all the money that folks. are trying to save, they make the at. work, it's been given away to large. corporations, the billionaires. And.

Donald Trump is out here, of course, talking about money that's coming in, which we know was just a farce. If if. there's if there's actually that much. money, $17 trillion somewhere, show it. to us. Let's actually spend it to. actually lower healthcare costs for the. American public. But Donald Trump is a liar and Donald. Trump is corrupt. And so, what he wants. to do right now is use do everything he. can to put out guards across the. country, to send the military to cities, to cut benefits for people, which is why. Democrats in this moment have to be in.

this fight and not give an inch. And. stop doing what some of these Senate. Democrats are doing, which is caving in. to Leader Thune over there and to Donald. Trump. Here's another House Oversight issue. I'm I'm I'm just going to I'm just going. to I'm just going to let it all off my. chest right now. All that stupid gold in. the White House, the 24 karat this, gold. this, gold that. He posts and brags, I've got gold everywhere. And then the. golden ballroom, which is purportedly, he claims, being funded by by companies.

or corporations, although who's paid for. the architectural plans, who's paid for. the cutting of these trees? And to me, it's a symbol of all of his corruption. right there that they want to build a. structure three times as big as the. White House itself. So, like to me, are. foreign companies putting there, you. know, investing? Does Qatar get their. name? Is it the Qatari ballroom now? Like Like what is actually happening. with this thing? Cuz I know the American. people are like, "We're out here.

wondering if we're going to be able to. pay rent and this guy's freaking. building 90,000 square foot ballrooms.". Like what's up with that? Well, stay. tuned cuz we're we're asking those same. questions. And so, look, this this idea. one, that even even if even if there. were donations being made to build some. of this. And of course, Donald Trump. likes to claim, "Oh, no, I'm I'm I'm. paying for a lot of this and there's. going to be no public money." The fact. that he's going to sell off parts of the. people's house, he's going to put the. names of donors or companies or who God.

knows who on the wall of the ballroom, that monstrosity shouldn't be there in. the first place. It's going to. completely damage the of course, the not. just the lawn of the White House, but. that that entire campus. You're already. seeing what he's done to the Rose Garden. and to that damn patio that he's built. out there, cemented the whole thing. What he's doing to the White House is. disgraceful. But what underneath that is. corruption. There is no question that. this ballroom and what's happening. there,

we have questions. We need to know who's. involved. Are foreign governments paying. for any of this? And so, oversight's. already working. on asking the right questions and an. investigation into what's happening at. the White House as it relates to this. construction. Cuz it's it is outrageous. and a disgrace that this is happening. right now. You know, I know you got to. go soon, but last question. You've been. releasing You've been getting your hands. on a lot more of these Epstein files. You released the third batch. It was. last week and we've learned a lot more. of, you know, Elon Musk's name was. mentioned about potentially going to the.

island. At least that was on the Epstein. side of it. You know, we'll have. >> the question is, did he go? We should. know. Exactly, you know, Bannon's name, you know, Bannon's name was on it and we know. Bannon said that he was terrified of the. stuff that Epstein may have known about. Trump during the first administration. So, where is this going? And obviously, it. does seem like they don't want to swear. in Congresswoman-elect Rehoboth despite. all of the precedent of swearing in. people because of the discharge petition.

that she would lend the last signature. needed. So, where are we right now from. the oversight perspective? So, we are. obviously continuing to build a case, right? I mean, we're still We're. gathering information, talking to. whistleblowers, interviewing people from. across that that have been involved in. in in in this Epstein case, talking to. survivors. And what's next and what's. what's critical for us moving forward is. the banking and financial records. And. so, that's something that we know we. know known from day one that we need to. get. So, for us it's getting all of the.

files from the DOJ, which are under. subpoena, which right now we have no. idea why the hell Pam Bondi just doesn't. do her job and release them. Well, she's. protecting Trump. That's probably what. she's trying to do. But, she needs to. get that information to us. And legally. she's required to do so. The second. piece is we're working with all of the. financial institutions. We need to get. all the financial records. Who paid. Jeffrey Epstein? Where did how did that. money move? Who was actually part of. this broader scheme and sex trafficking. ring? So, all of these questions are out. there. And for us to move our.

investigation forward, Donald Trump's got to live up to his. campaign promise. He said he'd release. the files. And now he's not. And that's. because clearly this is a White House. cover-up and he's hiding something. And. oversight is going to push every single. day so we get the truth. Congressman Garcia, let me just say on. behalf of a lot of Americans, it is. refreshing to see people fighting and. you're fighting in your position on the. as the ranking member of that House. Oversight Committee. It's like, yes, this is what we wanted. Anyway, I know.

you got to go. It's a busy day for. Democrats, but what? The Republicans. aren't showing up today though? It's. just just the down and Republicans, oh. yeah, Republicans are anywhere to be. found. We're working, we're meeting, we're talking to federal workers. At the. end of the day Republicans need to be. here. They should have been here over. the last few days. And it's it's. shameful that they don't that they're. going to allow health care premiums to. go up. People are going to start getting. letters saying that their health care. costs are going to go up in the next few. weeks because Republicans could care. less about them and only want to focus. on their billionaire friends. >> It's what is that's wild. They're not.

there, right? They're gone. They're not. They're just I want to be clear to the. American people cuz I they don't I don't. think any people really know this. Republicans are congressmen are not on. Capitol Hill today. That's right. And. they haven't been for the last I mean, we should have been here all week. working on this. Nowhere to be found. Anyway, thanks for joining us. Congressman Garcia, ranking member of. the House Oversight Committee. We. appreciate you. Thank you. Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Want to stay. plugged in?
