Republicans NUKE their OWN Voters with MAJOR VOTE

the bill is passed with that objection. the motion to reconsider is laid upon. the. [Applause]. [Music]. table pursuing to close so that's the. moment the Maga Republican members of. Congress were cheering that they passed. their CR their continuing resolution. that reminds me of something where have. I seen clapping like that before uh. where people look terrified by clapping. at the same time oh yeah I think I've. I've seen that before it looks like. that's what these Maga Republic an have.

become these days it looks a little bit. Kim Jong unish and I guess there's a. reason why Donald Trump looks up to Kim. Jong-un when you look at this continuing. resolution there are about 22 different. instances at least although I want to. see if there may be even more than that. in this bill where the funding for. certain programs is set at. 0o um and if you look at the types of. things that are being cut go back to. that last graphic as well there uh salty. I mean you're looking at things like EPA.

healthare education things that are. going to also harm red States so these. Maga Republicans are quite literally. cheering on the fact that they're. harming their own constituents by the. way these are the same Maga Republican. Congress members who for years have now. been saying we will never pass a. continuing resolution again the days of. CRS are over and if there is a CR it's. going to be clean CRS this was none of. that but then they tried to spin it I. think in kind of pong Yang fashion this.

is Maga Republican Congress member uh. Tom emmer just saying how great things. are play this. clip last week we celebrated president. Trump's countless victories for the. American people during his joint address. to Congress this week Congress must pass. a continuing resolution so the American. people can continue to enjoy win after. win after win this is the way forward. but unfortunately Democrats in Congress.

would rather throw temper tantrums. fueled by their hatred for president. Trump than keep the government open and. working for all Americans last time I. checked y'all are the ones who control. uh the house and the Senate and the. executive branch and y'all are the ones. who are throwing the temper tantrums. this is Maga Republican Congress member. Steve scalise just take a look at. this last week all Americans who watched. the State of the Union saw a very. triumphant president Trump who's.

returned to the White House with even. more energy more Vigor and more Focus to. work for the American people than ever. before uh laying out in just six short. weeks how much he's already done to. fulfill the promises what was Donald. Trump doing today while the markets were. crashing oh yeah he was out there with. Elon Musk uh selling Teslas and doing. product placement while they're. propaganda Network as well Sean Hann. talking about buying Teslas and it must. be nice all these rich people buying.

Teslas all over the place and helping. out their billionaire friends let's. bring in Dem Democratic Congress member. Joe nus Congress member you sit on the. rules committee you're on the. subcommittee of budget and and. legislation so you know this CR how what. are they cheering for right there can. you put this into context it's a great. question Good To Be With You Ben and. thanks for having me on look first and. foremost I got to react to the clips. that you just showed because it is the. height of absurdity for some of those.

Republican members literally as the. stock market is crashing 401ks are. Vanishing for countless Americans across. the country prices are going up across. the board and yet you have these. Republican members siant praising the. administration that is pursuing The. Reckless policies causing the harm that. their constituents are experiencing it. is. nonsensical and of course as you. mentioned the uh The Logical extension. of this was today's vote on the CR which.

they apparently were very proud of this. is a bill that would cut funding for. core programs that countless Americans. rely upon nutrition assistance health. care benefits veterans benefits under. the pack act for the next fiscal year. all on The Chopping Block under this. partisan Republican spending bill that. they pushed through the house earlier. today there is nothing to applaud about. uh but you know again past his PR law. it's clear that this is the course that.

they will maintain and the fact that as. you said you can see the sort of. corruption on full display over at 1600. Pennsylvania Avenue uh today it just is. astounding I think to the average. American who's struggling right now to. make ends meet and to see a republican. majority in Washington in the house and. the Senate and in the White House that. clearly cares nothing about ultimately. improving their quality of life it's. shameful you know I watch you on the. rules committee and it's an interesting.

committee because the members of. Congress who are putting forward the. legislation appear kind of as Witnesses. so you're actually kind of examining or. questioning your Republican colleagues. um I want to talk about that because I. mean I'm sure you speak to these people. not in that setting where they know that. like our people at the midest touch. Network are clipping all that stuff and. and getting it all up like after they're. done with that theater while you're like.

do they do they admit kind of privately. that like they know that this is big. trouble or are they fully pongyang North. Korea clap clap mode that this is this. is their stick this is their jam I mean. look this isn't it's it's instructive in. terms of where we are as a country I. think in the past uh you know might have. a member or two that would approach me. afterwards that understood that we had. caught them uh you know in a bit of a a. trap if you will rhetorical trap right.

sort of exposing the hypocrisy of of. their views in front of the rules. committee uh but would understand that. perhaps that might be something that. they need to modulate in the future. these days that's not the case generally. speaking as I said you know most of the. Republican caucus now are sycophants for. president Trump uh there is nothing that. he uh cannot do in their eyes nothing. that they won't bless and approve of and. salute and it's unfortunate I mean again.

this is not the way in which article one. branch of government the United States. Congress is supposed to function and yet. here here's where we are and we find. ourselves so yeah with respect to the. rules committee as you mentioned it's a. unique Committee in the Congress because. it's the only Committee in the Congress. that a has no time limit in terms of the. questions that are posed uh by members. or the answers that are provided and. then secondly as you said it's an. opportunity to be able to question your. own colleagues uh and in my view when. you're coming in front of the rules. commit.

and you're making the case to the. American people for a policy that you're. pursuing uh then you ought to be you. know artfully and honestly questioned. about your own views and how they. comport uh with uh you know the. particular position you're taking and. often as is the case a lot of these. members don't like uh you know. ultimately being uh you know told or. rather having it revealed to them the. position they had taken on a particular. issue previously that just lays be the. hypocrisy which is all too common these. days in Washington you you represent a.

district in Colorado I would say on the. whole Colorado as a state is Bluer but. there are certainly lots of red dots. within Colorado as well and purplish. areas in Colorado as well um you know. what are you hearing from constituents. not just Democrats but like are you. hearing from Independents and. Republicans and are you hearing across. the board in Colorado that there's kind.

of a growing frustration would be. putting it I think gently to what Elon. Musk and Trump is doing do you feel this. is still kind of people are in their. partisan camps what are you seeing in. your state I think my answer uh to your. the first part of your question is. unquestionably yes I think people are. frustrated and we hear from folks across. the political Spectrum about uh their. frustration uh and displeasure with the. way in which the Trump Administration is. conducting it S I mean look I represent.

you mentioned this uh a district of. course in my view the best District in. the United States of America but it's a. large geographical District it's larger. than nine states Central and Northern. and Western Colorado right rural. communities urban communities Subban. Suburban communities you name it and as. I go across my district doing Town Halls. because as house Democrats we do Town. Halls we actually enjoy town halls and. visiting with constituents and and. listening to them and their concerns I. hear from folks who are deeply troubled. by by the mass Purge of federal.

employees right at the forest service. these are people doing Wildfire. mitigation work preventing the next. megap fire uh in the Rocky Mountain West. people who are concerned about the Land. Management agencies and the people. working at our federal Labs at Noah and. Nest uh who are now being. unceremoniously fired and purged from. the federal Workforce they are concerned. about the rising cost of living and an. Administration that clearly has no. intention of doing anything about it and. instead is only pursuing policies.

that'll exacerbate the problem right I. mean you're you're an average working. family looking at your 401k and. realizing that in the last six weeks the. Trump's Administration has erased all. gains in the last year I mean and. clearly a recession potentially looming. on the horizon so yeah folks are folks. are pissed off just to be candid I you. know as I talked to people in my. district again across the political. Spectrum it's not to suggest that people. don't want to see government reform you. know I think folks are hungry for reform.

they're hungry to to see fraud waste and. abuse you know rooted out of the. government but they don't want to see a. chainsaw a literal chainsaw taken to the. core functions of the federal government. that serve coloradans each and every day. they did not sign up for. that and I just don't think anybody. signed up for the chaos it's every day. tariffs no tariffs tariffs are great. tariffs are the worst what are we going. to do am I going to invade Greenland. today am I going to invade Canada today.

51st state day is today a Panama Canal. Conquest day what are we talk we talking. about fentol in Mexico today where where. are we going with this you know is he. gonna send Shalom Hamas text is he gonna. post images of himself in Trump Gaza. City you know with bearded people with. cleavage like what what's like it's like. it's it's not I always say we can't. normalize this behavior and then there's. like a like a gaslighting element to it. as well like you know he'll have you. know Peter Navaro who by the way served.

jail time for uh you know his conduct. relating to contempt of congress. contempt of congress he's out there. right now um asking Canada can you. please just Tamp it down Tamp down the. rhetoric Canada he goes Tamp down the. rhetoric watch this but frankly uh the. premier he's been I mean look just Tamp. it down please over there okay they. throwing down the hockey gloves and that. stop that rhetoric and let's just look. at what we're trying to do with love. Canada but U look there's some big.

issues there and uh we're not going to. tolerate uh anything but them stopping. killing Americans and uh and doing. what's right with respect to things like. steel and aluminum which they've been. dumping into our country and that's. stoppen I mean this is not this is not. normal yeah I yeah you're you're. precisely right I don't know that I. could say it better than you just did I. mean look it's it's absurd it's. ludicrous just sort of arsonists that. are now you know complaining about the. fire that they have created and.

unfortunately this is the the most. tragic part of all is that there will be. Mass collateral damage to the. absurdities of the policies that they. are pursuing and so you know you I think. about average working family in my. district that's struggling to be able to. buy a new car because car prices are. soaring through the roof interest rates. are still remarkably high and what are. they left with they're left with you. know the the car infomercial uh that the.

president of the United States conducted. earlier today on the White House lawn. that that is uh their policy. prescription right is to engage in these. Reckless economic policies the tariffs. and and the rest unnecessary trade Wars. uh and then ultimately offer nothing of. actual consequence uh to the American. people who are really struggling and. from my perspective that's the most. confounding part of all house Democrats. are going to remain focused uh you know. as as leader jeffre often says keeping. the main thing the main thing which. is quality of life cost of living.

addressing core challenges that the. American people face that Republicans. refuse to address and as I said if. anything are. exacerbating there you have it I'd love. to this is your first time on the Midas. touch Network we got to have you we got. to have you back you know there's a. reason that as has so many clips of you. because as a former litigator I love. your style I love your examinations and.
