WHOA! Total CHAOS ERUPTS in Senate at LIVE CROSS EXAM

You're wasting everybody's time, Senator. You're a whack job. Senator, you are a wastingly. whack job. Yep. So, complete chaos broke loose at. various Senate hearings yesterday. You. saw right there. MAGA Republican Senator. Kennedy um cross-examining Richard. Painter on a crypto bill. Painter is a. ethics lawyer who used to work in the. White House about 15 or 20 years ago or. so. Painter wants to make sure there's.

transparency um in crypto. I'll show you. more of that in a moment. I want to show. you what else went down in the Senate. right here. Um, you had a lot of. ambassadors appointed by Donald Trump. testifying and they didn't know the most. basic basic facts about the country that. they are an ambassador for. You would. think that they would just do some. minimal homework and just study some. basic facts. You think if you were about. to testify before the Senate about your.

confirmation to be an ambassador, you'd. learn about the country. Ah, that's just. me. So here, Democratic Senator Tammy. Duckworth called out Trump's ambassador. to Singapore for being completely. unprepared and clueless. Here, watch. this. What does holding the ASEAN. chairmanship entail for Singapore? Can. you name one thing. a role that they will have to play as. ASEAN chair? What will. Well, there you know that that there uh. this is a this Asian chair is not only.

one country, there are 10 countries in. ASEAN chair is one country but there are. 10 countries involved as ASAN group and. you're not answering my question. You're. not answering my question sir. Can you. name one thing that will be a of. critical importance to Singapore as. ASEAN chair a role? There are many. things. Can you name one? Defense economics. those are very broad. Name name an issue. trade.

I I don't think No. Okay, let's let's do. something. In what way does the United. States Navy work with Singapore? And how. do you envision strengthening the US. Navy's work with Singapore? And are. there any facilities that come to mind. that are central to our relationship. with Singapore? We thank you for your question, but we. have a naval presence in Singapore and. we our uh our military they always do. exercise with the Singapore. The they. come here the army of Singapore they.

come here for the training as well. So. we have a close ties with the Singapore. in defense. Can you name a specific thing please? I'm trying to help you here but you've. not even done your homework sir. You. want to be ambassador to Singapore. One. of the most important alliances friends. we have in the Indoacific. A key place. that we're going to be fighting against. our greatest adversary in the region the. PRC. Singapore may feature incredible. culture but that should not be treated. as a glamour posting. This nation is too.

important to United States, to ASEAN, to. the entire region. And frankly, I think. the mission is important to US interest. and national security and it should. actually be a foreign service officer. But I have even larger concerns with the. political pick when that political pick. is somebody as unqualified as you. I've. opposed political picks for Singapore. from Democrats. So this is not a this is. not a partisan issue. I I I just feel. that you are not taking this seriously. and you think this is a glamour posting. that you're going to be live a nice life. in Singapore. What we need is someone. who's going to actually do the work. I.

am out of time. I have a couple. additional questions related to. management that I'll submit for the. record, but I want to reinforce again. for you right now. You are not currently. prepared for this posting. Period. And. you need to shape up and do some. homework. Okay. Next, you had Kimberly Gilfoil. Yes, Don Jr.'s ex fiance or girlfriend. who was shipped out to Greece after Don. Jr. got a new girlfriend. And here she. is in her opening statement. This is. completely absurd. Let's play it. It is with great and profound sense of.

honor and deep humility that I appear. before you today as President Trump's. nominee to serve as the United States. ambassador to Greece. I extend my. sincerest gratitude to the president for. his faith in my abilities and to. Secretary Rubio and to Sergio Gore here. present today, the head of PO and his. amazing team for their collective trust. and confidence placed in me. I also. thank this committee for the opportunity. to be here and for your careful.

consideration of my nomination. All right, let me show you now the full. context of that exchange between MAGA. Republican Senator Kennedy and Richard. Painter, the ethics lawyer over this. crypto bill. Here, play this clip. Mr. Painter, do you think Senators Yellow Brand is a. crook? No. And I do not think all politicians. are crooks. And why did you call her a. crook? I did not call her a crook. Now, Senator, you need to focus on this bill.

You're doing this again. You did it the. last week's. role. in stable corn regulation. $217,000. in crypto donations. You tweeted that. Yes, I did. And then you said, "The crypto industry. is buying Congress and the White House. This won't end well. Why do you think the crypto industry is. buying Senator Gillibrand? I said, "Look at the campaign.

contributions from this industry.". You think they've bought her? No. I said, "Look at the campaign. contributions.". Do you think they bought? Senator, you need to focus on this bill. instead of trying to distort my Twitter. last time. One of my colleagues what a. Marxist in Chicago said about. What evidence do you have? He's a crook. I said there is massive amount of. campaign contributions coming into this. Congress from the crypto industry. You want to apologize, Senator Jill. Brand? I do not want you to have to apologize.

for passing legislation that destroys. our economy for calling. You are distorting what I said just like. you did in the last hearing. You're. wasting everybody's time, Senator. You're a whack job. Senator, you are wasting. whack job. I think we are. Is this middle school, Senator? Senators and uh witness. Thank you both. I think you should apologize. Senator, I think Senator, you're wasting our. time. This is not middle school. Now, just to give you a little bit of. background about where Richard Painter.

was coming from, if you're just confused. what happened in that clip I just showed. you. Painter said the day before this. clip, "At the hearing tomorrow on the. Clarity Act, I will urge federal. regulation aimed at safe and transparent. trading in crypto markets enacted and. implemented by federal officials free of. financial conflicts of interest. And. that includes the president." And he. shows, for example, how the Trump. memecoin was worth $4547. on January 19th, 2025. And then.

yesterday it was $8.73. So who made money on this memecoin? He. says, "Well, we know Trump made money on. the memecoin. We know the insiders make. money on the memecoin. We know Trump. earns transaction fees on the memecoin. So that's who makes money on the. memecoin right there. But I wanted to. give you context just what that exchange. was about because you have a lot of. senators and by the way there are some. Democratic senators and Democratic. Congress members who take a lot of money. from crypto also. It's not just purely.

the MAGA Republicans although there's. more MAGA Republicans and look my own. view of it is is that there is a place. for crypto and Bitcoin and we should. modernize and we should embrace crypto. and Bitcoin but we've got to do it in a. very transparent way and we can't have. you politicians abusing their power. I. think we have to treat crypto as though. it is a security so that it could be. regulated like stocks. There has to be a. regulation scheme so people aren't. scamming other people. And we see too.

often, especially with Trump meme coins. and Melania memecoins and a lot of these. MAGA meme coins that they are scams. All. right, going back to Democratic Senator. Duckworth who's just ripping to shreds. this ambassador to Singapore. He doesn't. know the most basic things here. He. doesn't even know what the amount of the. trade surplus is between the United. States and Singapore. Here, watch this. I have my doubts. So, my questions are. going to be to allow you to assuage my. doubts and and win my vote. Dr. Sa, I.

need to know that you understand some. basic facts about Singapore and its. critical relationship with the United. States. For example, uh in 2024, did the. United States have a trade deficit with. Singapore? Yes or no? It did not. How. large was the US's trade surplus with. Singapore in 2024? Uh $80 billion. $18 billion. 2.8. You're off by a huge factor. United States had a 2.8 billion trade.

surplus with Singapore in 2024. If. confirmed, how would you explain our. friendship in Singapore to the. president? Um, how would you explain to. our friends in Singapore the president's. threats to slap tariffs as high as 25%. on their country given that the United. States has nearly 3 billion trade. supplies with Singapore? Thank you for your question, Senator. We. are not walking away for any dialogue. between the two countries and two. leaders. If confirmed, I will make a.

personal relation with the government of. uh Singapore and I will make sure the. dialogue continues and we settle the. issues of trade together. Do you support increasing a tariff on. Singapore seeing how um we don't have a. they we they buy more of our stuff than. we buy of theirs. So, Senator, do you want to put a tariff on them? Thank you for your question, Senator. you know that uh we have uh president. has only done 10% of trade uh increase.

with the Singapore and he's open to. dialogue even for that. Do you agree? Do you agree with that 10%. increase with Singapore seems how we. don't have they don't have a surplus. with us? Well, I I. yes or no. Do you support the. president's plan to put a 10% tariff on. Singapore goods produced in Singapore? I mean um uh senator thank you for your. question but I I believe in president's.

uh decision of a free trade with any. nations in the world and he's resetting. the uh the trade numbers with each. country and he's open for discussion and. dialogue with each countries. So you. would like to have free trade with. Singapore. That's what you would push. for as ambassador. Well, we always had free trade with the. Singapore since 2004. So why so do you support the 10% incre. tariff increase? It's it's it's it's it's.

the dialogue is not closed. The door is. not closed because. let's go on to the next thing. You ever realize how ridiculous your old. wallet was after you finally upgrade? I. used to carry around this bulky beat up. leather brick that barely fit in my. pocket. Cards falling out, cash crumbled. up. I generally think it hurt my back. Then I found Ridge and I've been. obsessed ever since. I love my Ridge. wallet. It is slim, sleek, and somehow. holds up to 12 cards plus cash, all in. this incredibly compact, modern design. Mine is the sealass aluminum version.

And I've gotten so many compliments on. it. No joke. These are built with. premium materials like aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber. This thing. will never fall apart. And it comes with. a lifetime warranty. So, it is literally. the last wallet I will ever need. And I. love this. It has RFID blocking. technology, so no digital thieves are. sneaking off with your info. I never. realized how easy it was for thieves to. steal your info by you simply being in. their presence. Well, Ridge gives you. peace of mind in your pocket. There's.

even a Ridge Air Tag attachment so you. could always know where it is before you. start to panic. And for a limited time, our listeners get 10% off at Ridge by. using code Midas at checkout. So just. head to ridge.com and use code midas. me. D-S and you're all set. After you. purchase, they'll ask where you heard. about them. Please support our show and. tell them we sent you. Now, here's the. thing with these MAGA Republicans. They. always come unprepared. And as I like to. say, you know, to me, we shouldn't view. this in just political terms. Like.

Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever. Like we should just want conf. like smart people, competence, right? And so when you see, you know, the. Department of Homeland Security. Secretary yesterday, Christy Gnome, and. she held this conference, and there are. some real serious questions that need to. be asked about what happened in Texas. In addition to the fact that there were. six major vacancies at the National. Weather Service, including a key vacancy.

for the meteorologist coordinator, local. officials say they didn't get the. warnings that they needed, and they were. pointing fingers at the feds and the. forecast from the National Weather. Service. the National Weather Services, we did give uh the warnings, but 72. hours went by from the floods before. Christome actually activated some of the. emergency uh equipment to save people's. lives. That's completely unacceptable.

And so, questions need to be asked. Why. did you do that? Why did it take you 72. hours? But instead, she wants to attack. former President Biden. And she somehow. accuses him of the fires in Hawaii, which FEMA was there right away. But he. but but she goes she tries to imply that. as a result of FEMA, one in six women um. uh were basically sexually assaulted in. order to get like aid. Is I think that's. what she's saying here. Play this clip.

And then after the wildfires in Maui, residents voiced concerns that every. FEMA employee that they spoke with had. different answers. Uh none of them had. conversations that resulted in getting. assistance that was helpful or any. clarity in their situations. The. situation in Lahina was so bad that one. in six survivors were forced to trade. sexual favors, other favors for just. basic supplies. And so it's always an attack on but. focus on what's happening right now in. Texas.

120 deaths, 160 people still missing. most of the dead children. I understand. it's a one and you know it's an. unprecedented event but you can't keep. saying unprecedented unprecedented. nothing we could do act yes there is. things you can do stop it cut it out of. course there's things that you can do. and here she is saying you know what at. the end of the day we must respect. states rights rights matter the most. handling this not the feds here play. this clip. state and local leaders know that their. communities um what they they know what.

they need better than the government. ever could They know their exact needs. and they know how best to prepare. People forget that the states are older. than the constitution and that they. created the constitution. That. federalism matters and states rights. need to be respected. We need to focus. more on helping not hindering and state. and local authorities need to be. empowered. We don't take charge of them. We give them the opportunity to lead the. way. Really? because y'all federalized the.

National Guard right away in Los Angeles. to attack the citizens of Los Angeles, but you had to wait 72 hours before. taking any action when it came to the. floods in terms of bringing some of the. critical emergency equipment. What the. hell is wrong with these people? And. speaking of what the hell is wrong with. these people, here's the mayor of. Kurville and here's this guy. He's being. asked basic questions and he's like, "Guess what? I'm not going to answer. you. You're going to do it my way or the.

highway. Okay. Here. Play this clip. to use that morning. I'm sorry. I do not. know. Mr. Mayor, listen. People are yelling and I didn't. really want. If you offer only three questions, then. you're going to have. guess what? You're in Curville and we're. going to do it my way. I understand that. Morgan Chesky, please. That's how you're answering. I'm I'm the. mayor. You're in Kurville. All right. Well, you clearly don't even know how to. handle emergency management in your own. city. So, you probably shouldn't be the. mayor of Kur. you know, all this all. this good old boy, you know, this is how.

we do it. Why would we ever do that? Why. is the government? These are not. competent human beings, okay? They're. not competent human beings. They're just. not doing their jobs. And then when. something happens, nothing we can do. about it. Just got to pray. Just got to. pray. Nothing we can do about it. Just, you know, it is what it is. No, that's. not true. That's not freaking true. Stop. gaslighting us with this crap. Um, here. the Kurville mayor is asked an important. question about flood warnings. Shouldn't. you have flood warnings? Ah, I don't. want to talk about that. Here, play this.

clip. The concept of flood warnings have been. discussed at least two dozen times by. the county. What's the biggest reason. that these systems have not gone into. place at this point? You know, Morgan, you and I grew up here. and um I wasn't an office during those. discussions and frankly, I'm more. focused on the future than the past. As. you know, what I can say is the. governor, the lieutenant governor, the. speaker of the Texas house have all.

provided us support and they have all. said this is a priority for the upcoming. special legislative session. As mayor of Kurville, as someone who. grew up here, I am grateful for their. support and I look forward to what they. proposed during the special session. Okay, I'm sorry that inconveniences you. to talk about things, but we need a. reckoning of what the hell went down. And here he goes. Ah, my wife's a first. grade teacher. Stop acting like first. graders. Here, play this clip. I'm married to a retired first grade.

teacher. And I learned a little bit about. classroom management from her. If you yell questions at us, we're. probably going to pick someone else to. answer. Okay. So you feel the need to. yell your questions. I will feel the need to not answer your. question. In first grade, they raised their hands. That might be a good start. Yesterday. was a disaster.

And I was embarrassed. Our town was. embarrassed. Your viewers were. embarrassed. And I don't want that to happen again. Stop acting like What are these people. talking about? Finally, I'll show you. this. Democratic Senator Dick Durban. took to the Senate floor and he talked. about how the Trump regime is rescending. all of the funding for public TV. And. he's like, "Also, public TV plays a. major role in disaster warning. So, can.

we not cut funding for something that. was once always bipartisan?" Here, play. this clip. This request would cut $1.1 billion from. the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Do you listen to public radio, public. TV? Are you aware of what it does for. your community? This would eliminate any. federal assistance for a corporation for. public broadcasting. It includes $700. million that's eliminated to provide. critical funding for local public media.

This would devastate more than 1,500. public radio and TV stations across this. country. Bottom line, do you think we're. better off with less information as. Americans or more? Bottom line, do you. want a choice to pick your own source of. information? Do you want that choice to. include corporation for public. broadcasting? The president says, "No, we're not going to provide the. assistance for that to continue." What. it means is for small towns in downstate.

Illino Illinois all the way up to. Chicago and the classrooms there, public. media stations provide essential. nonpartisan news coverage, life-saving. emergency and weather alerts and. educational program for our kids. I don't know the circumstances in Texas. for this terrible flooding and I don't. want to presume anything. But as a. general rule, more emergency information. available to American families is better. than worse. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me.
