🚨 GOP in FULL PANIC…
The Republicans are in full-fledged. panic mode as the midterms are right. around the corner, folks. Finally, we. are in the home stretch. Not. surprisingly, Maggamike Johnson shut. down the House of Representatives as the. second Epstein discharge petition got. the requisite 218 signatures it needed. as there was an impeachment resolution. regarding Pete Hegsith. Magga Mike is. like, "We got to shut it down." And I'm. sure he also saw the cross-examination.
of Treasury Secretary Bessant and. whatever the hell that was regarding. Cash Patel. It's important, folks. Oversight. It's a real thing. And when. we got to see it one day, boy was it. illuminating. And so you've got MAGA. leadership freaking out across the. country. They're seeing polling data. everywhere from Texas to Kansas to Ohio. and Michigan to Iowa and Florida. You. name it. There is no safe MAGA district.
You've got MAGA Republicans cutting ads. against Donald Trump right now. Like. Congresswoman Salazar and what was. believed to be a safe seat in Southern. Florida. She was saying, "Donald, your. adviserss led you astray on. immigration." when we all know. Congresswoman Salazar aided and embedded. Donald Trump's cruel and unusual torture. of her own constituents. So, let's take. a look at what's going down right here. You've got MAGA Republican Senator Ted.
Cruz panicking on air. Let's play this. clip. >> There is there is a time for every. season. We are in the season of the. midterms and and so my focus politically. right now is election day in November. that we are at real risk of losing both. the House and Senate. So I am devoting. every waking hour to raising money, to. campaigning, to fighting to keep the. Senate Republican, to keep the House. Republican. If the Democrats take take. the Congress, they will use it to fight.
with everything they can to stop. President Trump's agenda. And so I'm. doing everything I can to stop that. there. Then you have Tom Emmer in. leadership, MAGA, Republican Congress. member from Minnesota, and he's like, "Yeah, gas smash. Who cares?" Well, well, we we have a great record here. Play this clip. Spending is up 6%. From. last year, I think people are going to. do that emotional thing. Like, somebody. just sent me a meme that said $4 gas and. $6 diesel, not acceptable, but it's not.
going to get me to vote for a communist. This thing was in the town. That was. good. Majority whip Tom. Emma, what a. pleasure. Come and see us again. >> More from Congress member Emma right. here. Let's play this clip. >> Uh, I think you got a problem. $4 gas, $6 diesel, 7% mortgages. Uh, it's hard. to argue that uh you're better than them. when it comes to the economy. >> Well, I we do have a lot to sell. I I. understand where Senator Kennedy's. coming from on the Senate side, and.
you'll notice that Chad was just. interviewing senators. If you talk to uh. Republicans on the House side, Stuart, we have accomplished a ton. I mean, no. taxes on overtime, no taxes on tip. We. raised the uh the child care tax credit. The list goes on and on. You can buy an. Americanmade car and you can deduct your. interest on that uh loan. There are so. many things to work on that the House. actually has accomplished. uh you got to. just go back to it because yes there are. headwinds that are created by $6 diesel,
$4 gas, uh groceries. I mean these are. headwinds that you got to deal with. But. the beauty of the US House of. Representatives which people are missing. is we are not just a monolith. We are. 435 pieces of geography. Each one has. unique demographics to that geography. >> Now I want to bring in the Democratic. leader Hakee Jeff. an interview I just. did with him. I want to ask him about. the oversight that the American people.
are demanding right now if and when. Democrats take control of the House. Let's bring in that interview. Want to bring in Democratic leader Hakee. Jeff. Leader Jeff, great to see you as. always. So, you have MAGA running scared. again. Magga Mike Johnson said they were. going to stay in session for a lot. longer. I mean, I think they worked. I. guess you all worked because imagike. what 15 legislative days in the past. four months and we got a taste of what. oversight could actually look like when.
the one day everybody was back where we. saw Bessant being grilled and on the. Senate we saw Cash Patel being grilled. and it was like ah finally people. getting asked questions and so I think. they said enough of that enough with the. Hegsith impeachment resolution that was. on the floor they want to keep covering. up the Epstein file so first they're. running away And they're running away. scared and they're and it's it's just. pathetic as I watch it. It's just. pathetic. What What do you make of it. all? >> Yeah. You know, listen, MAGA is running. scared. They can run, but they can't.
hide because the clock is ticking. 46. days until there's going to be. accountability visited upon them by the. American people from the fact that they. have completely and totally failed. Their economic policies have been a. disaster. They're hurting the American. people. This reckless and costly war of. choice in Iran has been a disaster. Iran. is stronger and the American people are.
economically weaker as a result of. what's going on in the Middle East, including as a result of gas prices. skyrocketing through the roof. We know. that Donald Trump's own handpicked. head of the Federal Reserve Board. concluded that Donald Trump's economy is. failing so badly that he had to raise. interest rates over the objection of. Donald Trump. So, you're absolutely. right. I think Mike Johnson concluded we.
better get out of town before sundown. because this is not going well for us. You know, I think as the American people. are looking to these midterms, what I. hear over and over again is we need to. restore checks and balances, something. that I hear is just ruthless or. relentless accountability and oversight. I think people are skeptical that if and. when Democrats take power, you can do a.
deal with Donald Trump. I think it was a. Warren Buffett quote, you can't do a. good deal with a bad person. And Trump. has shown he breaks deals, he rips them. apart quite frequently. Um, so how do. you how do you think about that? Because. I think people are saying, I mean, we we. want all these things addressed, but you. know, you can't Trump's not a good faith. actor, and you know, we want we want. oversight right now. What how do you how. do you balance that? How do you think. about. >> Yeah, it it's a great question, and it's. one that we're going to continue to. navigate both in terms of making clear.
we have to fight for an affordable. America. Like the cost of living is way. too high. It's out of control. People. are drowning in this failed Trump. economy. And we have a responsibility. And I hear this Ben everywhere I go. across the country to provide immediate. relief whenever and wherever possible. because you got far too many people. They're working hard. They're paying by. playing by the rules, but they can't.
keep up. And so it shouldn't be. stressful every time someone has to pay. the rent. It is for millions of. Americans. It shouldn't be stressful. every time someone has to go to the. grocery store to try to put food on the. table for themselves and their families. But it is. It shouldn't be stressful. People stress the f out every time they. have to put gas in the tank. But it is. And so it is the case. In fact, it's a.
very real thing that people want the. Congress and their government to provide. economic relief, give them breathing. room so they can live a good life, a. comfortable life, and an affordable. life. So, we're going to continue to. make clear to the America American. people that we are fighting hard and. will to lower the high cost of. groceries, lower the high cost of gas, lower the high cost of housing, and.
fight to make healthcare affordable for. every single American. But at the same. time, we also have to deliver aggressive. accountability that is unrelenting. And we've made clear that if anyone out. there. is screwing over the American people, shortch changing the American people, or. stealing from the American people, beginning on day one, House Democrats.
are going to hold the crooks. accountable, and no one connected to the. Trump cartel is going to get a pass. So, so talk to us what that, you know, looks like. I mean, people should think. about it. I mean, we know the House. Oversight Committee and the great work. that ranking member Garcia has done. We. know about the judiciary committee and. the great work that ranking member. Rascin has done. Um, but we have all. these committees, you know, everything.
from agriculture, just think about how. farmers are being treated, right? to. armed services to foreign relations to. you know there's a lot of things that. require critical oversight right now. health um and we need to get to the. bottom of this and and perhaps explain. you know right now when you have these. hearings Democrats are limited to like. it's like five minutes go and then the. then the Trump people filibuster so when. Democrats take control what changes. subpoena power longer hearings explain.
that to people as well because I think. that that's people are wondering. sometimes now well could we be doing. more why do the hearings last so short. and it's a control of house thing part. of it right so so talk to us about that. >> yeah it's a great point so there's a big. difference between being in the majority. and being in the minority and the. minority basically we're put in the. position of only being responsive to the. subjects that the majority wants to. discuss largely the witnesses that.
appear at these hearings. Generally, if there are four witnesses, three are called by the majority. Only. one is called by the party that is out. of power. The length of the hearings is. also determined. by the majority. And what we are seeing. often is that the administration when. they are compelled to come up to Capitol. Hill often say well uh their schedule. only permits an hour or two or at most.
just a few hours of testimony and then. they scurry off Capitol Hill as fast as. they can and while they are testifying. under oath they spend a lot of time. filibustering as if they were in the. Senate and just talking talking talking. and trying to evade the type of. accountability that comes from. aggressive questioning, relentless. questioning. Now, I will say that even.
in the minority, I think Democrats have. done a really good job of pressing the. case on behalf of the American people. For instance, we have run Pam Bondi out. of town in the minority. as she presided over a massive Epstein. cover up. And we're going to continue to. press our case on behalf of the Epstein. survivors so that they get the. accountability and transparency that. they deserve and that the American.
people deserve. We ran Christy Gnome out. of town in the minority. because she was failing and of course of. all of the corruption uh that was. ongoing while at the same time using. taxpayer dollars to unleash mass and. untrained ICE agents to brutalize and. kill American citizens or violently. target law-abiding immigrant families. That's in the minority. In the majority, of course, uh we will.
be able to go on offense on behalf of. the American people, decide the topics. of these hearings, determine the. overwhelming majority of witnesses, use. subpoena power whenever and wherever. necessary to make sure that the American. people are actually hearing from folks. who have been visiting harm upon them. and continuing that process until we are. able to get to the bottom of the massive.
corruption that has been unleashed on. the American people. >> One of the things that we've seen also. though is now MAGA Republicans cutting. ads uh against Trump and trying to act. like they didn't support him right now. And so you have Congresswoman Salazar. who said that Trump supports the Dignity. Act. He'll only go after immigrants who. are violent criminals. And then she is. now saying Donald you are getting bad. advice from your adviserss. And it was.
like bad advice from his adviserss. And. she told her people I mean in in her. district which has a lot of Cuban. Venezuelan immigrant population that. they were going to be fine and that not. only that there would be pathways to. citizenship with their dignity act and. you know her district has suffered. So. now she's cutting ads in front of the. White House and she's all like, "Donald, I'm looking at you." And it's just it's. phony and it's um it's dangerous because. it's just scammy. It's like, "Look, this. is what you did." I mean, and and and.
have take some accountability for your. actions. Huh. It's fake, phony, and it's false. And. you're absolutely correct. Maria Alvara Salazar, like the rest of. them, voted for the one big ugly bill. that gave the Department of Homeland. Security an additional $175. billion or so, including about $75. billion in money given over to ICE that.
was designed to fuel Donald Trump's. violent mass deportation machine. And now she's acting like she had. nothing to do with it. You had. everything to do with it. You gave ICE. the money to violently target. law-abiding immigrant families in your. community, Cubans and Venezuelans. and Nicaraguans and others, Haitian.
Americans. And so they can run from. their extremism. We are not going to let. them hide from their track record. of aiding and abetting the carnage that. has been visited upon the American. people. It's also interesting, Ben, that. MAGA Inc., which is now investing in all. of these races, you know, trying to hold. on to the House and hold on to the. Senate, but they're not doing it in. their name, MAGA, Inc.,
Because if they were to do so on all of. these ads and they're spending tens of. millions of dollars now trying to. distort their record, MAGA, Inc. is not front and center as. sponsor of these ads because they know. the MAGA brand is a disaster. And Democrats now have an advantage on. every single issue of meaning to the.
American people. We saw that in the Time. Sienna poll survey, which is consistent. with everything else that we're seeing. Democrats have an advantage with the. American people. Trusted more on the. economy, trusted more on the cost of. living, trusted even more on health. care, trusted more on the war and this. reckless war of choice that Donald Trump. has gotten us into that only Democrats. will be able to get us out of when we.
take back power. We're trusted more even. on the deficit. and on immigration. What was also. interesting is that when the American. people are now looking at Democrats as. compared with Republicans, they view. Republicans correctly as more extreme, more corrupt, and more elite. because we have connected with everyday. Americans. And we know that continuing.
to do that is going to require us to. lean in aggressively on our. affordability agenda, but also lean in. aggressively on our accountability. agenda. that will be led by House. Judiciary Committee Democrats and Jamie. Rascin and House Oversight Committee. Democrats led by Robert Garcia who will. continue to press the case on ending the. Department of Justice's cover up with.
respect to the Epstein files. >> Leader Jeff, we're going to be uh. following everything that's going on. It's a sprint now to the midterms. It's. finally here. Anything else you wanted. to say before we before we go? >> Well, it's definitely a sprint. Uh, it's. no longer a slo, no longer a marathon. MAGA extremists tried to break America. They have failed. together. All of us haven't let that. happen. But now we have an opportunity.
in November to begin to break MAGA. extremism by voting every single one of. them out of office and taking back. control of the House and the Senate so. we can begin the process of ending this. national nightmare. >> Leader Jeff, thank you for your time. Appreciate it. and we will be uh. watching seeing seeing these. developments as we get closer to. election day and it's right around the.
corner. So, thanks for your time. >> Thanks for everything. >> Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 7. million subscribers. Before you go, our. book WTF America is available for. pre-order now.
