🚨GOP RETURNS and RUNS SCARED…
Run, MAGA, run. MAGA Republican Congress. members on Capitol Hill were quite. literally running away from the Midas. Touch Network, Washington DC bureau. reporters. We were trying to ask him. some questions. Magga Mike returned the. House of Representatives back from. recess for just a short period of time. Don't worry, they're going to shut down. Congress again very soon. And they held. that deranged Republican midterm. convention at the end of last week which. we all saw and made us all want to.
collectively puke. And now MAGA. Republicans are back. So we wanted to. ask him some questions but they were. running away from us. Take a look. Quite. literally Pablo Monriquez Midas Touch. Network reporter was asking Daryl Isa. Hey Daryl, Congress member Isa, do you. think Donald Trump has done a good job. of keeping his campaign promises? Watch. this. Play this clip. >> real quick. Um, do you think Donald. Trump has done a good job of keeping his. campaign promises so far? >> I think he's made every effort to keep.
his campaign promises. I think President. >> he kept them. >> I think President Trump has has kept. more than any president in my lifetime. Um, you know, like anything else, uh, two years in, you've done some, but he. hasn't gone back on any. I don't think. there's any place in which President. Trump has said he's going to do. something and then done the opposite. And I think that's important is that to. the extent that he's completed them, he's done a great many. >> He said he said we were going to go to. war and now we're at war. >> Oh, he said we're not at war.
>> Well, >> yeah. Congress, can I ask you one more? >> He said one question. What do you have? >> I got one more. So, Donald Trump has. said that we're in a golden age now. Do. do you agree? You know, I certainly. think that the economy uh growing at. over 4% uh exceeding by more than 1% uh. the rate of inflation uh the fact that. real real earnings are going up uh and. that we're gaining efficiency while. still having full employment. That's a. pretty good definition of golden age.
And then you had MAGA Republican. Congress member Troy Nells also trying. to walk away from Pablo Monriquez. He. did answer a little bit, but Monriquez. from the Midas Touch Network asked. Nells, "Who do you blame for the high. price of diesel?" Watch what went down. here. Play this clip. >> Who do you blame for the high price of. diesel? >> For the high price of diesel. >> Yeah. >> Iran. >> Uh Biden. >> Yeah. Iran and Biden.
>> But not Trump. >> No, Iran. and Biden. But. >> cuz cuz Russia because Russia cuz Russia. went into Ukraine because we had a. in the White House. >> But do you think that Trump should be. telling Trump's been telling uh Ukraine. not to bomb Russia? Do you think he. should be telling Russia not. >> to what I what I'm saying is I don't I. don't see the endgame. You know, people. got to figure this out. Everybody's. saying poor old Zalinsky. Poor old. Zalinski. >> He he doesn't want to bargain on terms.
He doesn't want to give everything. I. bet you Zalinsky today says I want. Crimea back too. He'll never get it. >> What grade would you give Trump on the. uh on the war in Ukraine then? >> The war in Ukraine. Well, first off, for. me personally, I never grade Ukraine a. nickel. >> Okay. >> I never voted to give him a nickel and. here it is almost 5 years later. Are we. better off today than we were 5 years. ago? So, we put hundreds of billions. And right now, Zalinski, he's going to. leave that country a billionaire with. all the money that this is very corrupt. country. Obviously, very corrupt. But. that thing, you know what? I would try.
to cut a deal. I don't think he wants to. cut a deal. And we're it's it's it's not. going to end well for Ukraine in my. humble opinion. >> And then we saw Mitch McConnell, our. friends at TMZ on Capitol Hill, caught. this in action. This is what McConnell. looked like. Okay, we can have Bernie's. here. Play this clip. >> Are you feeling good, Mitch? >> Looks good. >> Give us a thumbs up.
I got more on that in a moment as well. But first, you had MAGA Republican. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. She was. walking past our DC reporter and our DC. reporter asked her a question. The. internet wants to know, did Scott. Turner, the Secretary of Housing and. Urban Development, did he pat you on the. butt? Cuz that's what it looked like. It. was kind of a weird situation where he. kind of did like a back butt tap or. something. I don't know what you even. want to call it. It was kind of uh. inappropriate and that's putting it.
mildly. What happened there? Here, play. this clip. >> Can I get a quick uh clear the air. question? The internet wants to know, did Scott Rogers pat you on the. >> Oh my goodness. Um I actually was. walking towards at that point to speak. So I didn't even see that till after the. fact. And one could only assume that. maybe it was just a a he played. football, you know, so probably. But no, no, there was no contact. You know, I. think that he's obviously a former. football player and maybe went for a. high five. I don't know.
>> Congressman prohibition. >> All right, enough of these maggas. Let. me show you Democratic Congress member. Jamie Rascin. Here's what he had to say. when we were asking him about Russian. oligarchs funding Don Jr.'s wedding, which Don Jr.'s wife, Batina, said, "What's wrong with that? Um, is our. friend. He may be Putin's friend, too, but Umar is our friend. Watch what. Congress member Rascin had to say here. Play this clip.
>> Real quick, what do you make of Donald. Trump Jr. having his wedding and. cosmetic surgeries paid for by a Russian. oligarch in his Bahamas? I. >> I heard about the wedding. I had not. heard about cosmetic surgeries. But when. Russian oligarchs pay for American. oligarchs, that's really sweet. uh. because they recognize that they are. fellow travelers in all of the. corruption and authoritarianism. sweeping the world. But the American. people are absolutely repulsed by it. And I think it's going to give great.
impetus to us to move forward in terms. of a democratic transformation of. Congress and then the presidency in two. years. I mean, it's an utterly decent. system that they've created for. themselves. Is there any reason you can. think of that he's calling for Ukraine. to stop bombing Russia, but Russia to. not stop to not stop bombing Ukraine? >> Uh, the only reason I could think of is. that Donald Trump supports Vladimir. Putin against Zalinski and the free.
democratic people of Ukraine. And we. know that that's the case. All of the. autocrats, all of the dictators, all of. the theocrats, bureaucrats, the bullies, uh, have found each other, and they're. in league together. And that just means. the democratic peoples of the world have. got to stick together. >> Well, all of this was going on deranged. post from Donald Trump. This is the. first picture taken of the new helport. landing zone in the south lawn. Like our. nation under the Democrats, it was in. decline. The White House was badly a.
maintained dump. Now it's a palace. Donald J. Trump. The White House is a. palace, everybody. According to That's. what we were looking for. We wanted the. people's house to be a palace. No, we. wanted health care, you idiot. We wanted. affordable gas prices, affordable. groceries. We wanted to be able to. afford homes, to pay our rent. We wanted. to be paid with dignity when we do work. We wanted our government to actually do. things to help make life better, not.
throw border patrol and ICE Gustapo on. the street to take families apart. families that paid taxes and built. businesses and worked hard for this. country and then throw them in dog. cages, which we're learning about and. alligator Alcatraz, which you called. coming cages. You threw people in dog. cages while you torture them in con. concentration camps. Just take a look at. this chart. When Biden left office, this.
is what the prices were. When Donald. Trump is in office, this is what the. prices are right now. Anyway, more video. here of Mitch McConnell seen leaving his. home from Washington DC. Let's play it. Welcome back. >> Welcome back to Ronald.
>> How you feeling, Mitch? You feeling all. right, Mitch? >> Good. >> Caught up with AOC. Here's what she had. to say. Let's play it. >> Congressman Donald Trump has said that. we are in a golden age. What? What do. you make of this? A golden age. A golden. age. He's calling it Exactly. >> Of what? I mean, he's putting golden. toilets on Washington. >> I got to give a hat tip to Thomas. Massie. Here's what he said to Pablo.
Monriquez when we asked him. Trump keeps. saying we're in a golden age. What do. you say? Play this clip. >> How you doing? >> Real quick, Donald Trump keeps saying. that we are now in a golden age. Uh, what do you make of that? Do you agree? >> Ah, you need gold to buy diesel now. So, maybe it is the golden age. >> Got it. Thank you. >> Congress member magazine or Democrat. said the following. Let's play it. Congressman, >> real quick, whose fault is it that the. diesel in this country has gone to.
historic highs? >> Donald J. Trump, thank you for your. attention to this matter. >> Well, Donald Trump says that we're a. golden age. >> I mean, we're in a golden age. if you. are, you know, one of his sons making. money off of uh data centers or you're. one of his sons making money off. cryptocurrency or if you're one of his. big oil baron buddies making money off. of the high cost of oil. Uh it's a. golden age for them, but for the average. American, uh it's a tough time right now. and he may not be able to see that from.
behind his uh uh his ballroom. construction, but that's the world that. we're living in and people are fed up. with it. Thank you. >> Congresswoman Kam Ler Dove said the. following. Let's play this clip. >> Congresswoman, what do you make of this. Don Jr. situation where he went to the. Bahamas and had a Russian oligarch pay. for cosmetic surgery and um his wedding? >> $170,000. >> You know, I would be surprised if it was. anyone other than someone related to. Donald Trump. the fact that his son is.
in bed with these Putin Russian. oligarchs WHO ARE PAYING for everything. I mean, here's the thing. When they get. up and they tell us that they are. beholden to no one, that they are not in. the pockets or in the bed with Russia or. China, and then you read a story like. that, you know that they are lying, not. even telling the truth. So, I just hope. they didn't sell any of our secrets.
while he was getting this facial surgery. done and preparing for this wedding. >> Okay. Thank you, Harrison. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> More from Troy Nells right here ranting. and raving about Ukraine. Play this. Don. Junior's wedding. Play this clip. Put. hundreds of billions. And right now, Zalinsky, he's going to leave that. country a billionaire with all the money. that you very corrupt country. Obviously, very corrupt. But that thing, you know what? I would try to cut a. deal. I don't think he wants to cut a. deal and we're it's it's it's not going. to end well for Ukraine in my humble.
opinion. >> How comfortable are you with this. Russian oligarch paying for Don Junior's. uh wedding in the in the. >> Nothing. >> We then heard more from AOC about what. do you make of Don Jr's wedding being. paid for by a Russian oligarch? Let's. play it. >> So, what do you make of uh Don Jr's. wedding being paid for by a Russian. oligarch? It's a new story today. >> I mean, as we've seen, these guys are in. the pocket of everyone but the American.
people. Um, it's profoundly disturbing. and I said it two years ago and I'm. saying it again. He is this administration, they're going to they will sell they are. selling out every single person in this. country for a buck. And it's disgusting. And for what? To to have a like to what? Have a couple of extra frills at your. wedding. It's disgusting.
>> Ted Lou had this to say to us. Let's. play it. >> So, Congressman, what do you make of. this new report in ProPublica about uh. Don Jr. having his wedding paid for by. Russian oligarch? >> So, Democrats were right about Russian. influence in America. We know that. Donald Trump's first campaign manager. colluded with the Russians and he gave. the Russians information about the. campaign. And we also know that the. Department of Justice did entire report. saying Russia systematically influenced.
our elections. So now we have more. evidence that you've got a Russian. oligarch paying money to remember the. Trump family. Uh this is very very. scandalous and we need an explanation uh. from the president and his son. >> Got it. Thank you. >> And finally, Congress member Clyburn. finished it off and here's what he had. to say. Let's play. >> Do you uh do you believe that uh Donald. Trump has said that we are entering into. a golden age? Do you agree?
>> It is a golden age for a lot of people. for him and his friends and his family. Thank you, >> but not for the rest of America. Not for. the rest of the country. >> Thank you. Thanks. Appreciate it. >> There you have it everybody. Let me know. what you think about all of that. Hat. tip to the Midos Hodge Networks. Washington DC bureau Pablo Monriquez. crushing it as always.
