This is when we need Democratic leaders to step up and fight and Democratic Congress member Jim McGovern from Massachusetts is doing just that. Watch when he said moments ago on the floor of the House of Representatives. Let's play it. I mean, what the hell is going on here? And they're cabinet picks so far? I mean, these are like beyond insane. Someone who is credibly accused of having sex with an underage girl.
Someone who sucks up to foreign dictators and has attracted major concern that they can't be trusted to protect America's secrets from our adversaries. Someone who paid hush money to cover up a sexual assault accusation to lead our military. He's picked because Donald Trump likes him on Fox News. Someone who says that tap water turns kids gay. I mean, this is the dream team.
This is the dream team? Really? I mean, seriously, it would be funny if it weren't so sad. Congress member McGovern continued. Here's what he said. Let's play it. Daily basis. And they want to blame, woke this and woke that. What's woke about thinking special interests should not be able to buy tax breaks. What's woke about Telly Chevron and Exxon that they can't dump toxic chemicals into our air and water?
What's woke about thinking it's wrong to give tax breaks to billionaires while the rest of us gets shrewd. Now that's the kind of passion that's the kind of fire. That's how we go on the offense without compromising our values, whether we're Democrats or just human beings who should stick up for fellow human beings. Here's Democratic Congress member Jim McGovern once again, play this clip. They voted for their pocketbooks and frankly, I don't blame them. You know who I do blame?
I blame the billionaires who have rigged our country against working people and spent the last four decades squeezing every penny they could out of people. I blame the politicians, including the incoming administration, who have abandoned workers and who have done nothing while the rich get richer and everyone else gets screwed.
My friends on the other side, they want to blame trans people. Guess what? Trans people out to ones raising people's grocery prices. Big corporations are. They want to blame immigrants. And here's the deal. Immigrants aren't the ones denying health insurance claims, Mr. Speaker. It's the billion dollar insurance companies that do that on a daily basis. And they want to blame, woke this and woke that. What's woke about thinking special interests should not be able to buy tax breaks.
By the way, there's a reason when you look at the stats in Massachusetts health, wealth, education, other important metrics, the people of Massachusetts are number one or top five. And is it a surprise to you that every single district in Massachusetts voted for Vice President Kamala Harris? On the contrary, you take a look at a state like Oklahoma where every single congressional district voted for Donald Trump. They're about last in health, wealth,
Um, uh, education, you name the metric. It's the exact opposite, but I digress. Maga Mike Johnson, though, holds a press conference after Congress member Jim McGovern was on the floor and Maga Mike Johnson or some people are now referring to him as Donald Trump's little Johnson. Uh, Maga Mike Johnson says the following play this clip.
Hello, everybody. I just want to make a statement for all of you here and be very clear. I was asked a question this morning at the leadership gaggle, and I rejected the premise because the answer is so obvious. For anybody who doesn't know my well-established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman.
That said, I also believe that's what's good for teachers, what I just said. But I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity. And so we can do and believe all those things at the same time. And I wanted to make that clear for everybody because there's lots of questions. But that's where I stand. I've stood there in my whole life and those are facts. So what are these special accommodations you'll take care of? That was not fair.
Yeah. So you have mega Mike Johnson now just explicitly denying the existence of trans people. Remember when they were just like, no, this is just about sports. It's just about, no, it was never just about that. It was just about dehumanizing people, bullying people, punching down, attacking marginalized community, going after people who are already vulnerable. You know, who's the, the, does that all the time? It's mega Republican, Congresswoman Nancy Mase.
her and Marjorie Taylor Greene. They've been going after Congresswoman McBride, who is a the first trans Congresswoman, just from Delaware. And here, just watch what Nancy May says here, play this clip. Today and last night for fighting for protect women and girls, it's ridiculous. So if that being a feminist makes me an extremist, I'm totally here for it.
Is this effort in response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress? Yes, and absolutely, and then some. I'm not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis is in the woman's locker room. That's not okay. And I'm a victim of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man.
And I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces. So I'm absolutely 100% going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms. I will be there fighting every step of the way.
Back to Maga Mike Johnson here. He's asked, so his representative elect Sarah McBride from Delaware's at large district, a man or a woman. Here's what Maga Mike says. Play this clip.
Look, I'm not going to get into this. We welcome all new members with open arms who are duly elected representatives of the people. I believe it's a command that we treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will. And I'm not going to engage in silly debates about this. There's a concern about
uses of restroom facilities and locker rooms and all that. This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before. We're going to do that in deliberate fashion with member consensus on it. And we will accommodate the needs of every single person. Do you plan on bringing Nancy Mason's transgender bill and putting that into the rules package?
I'm not going to address the plans on any of that. I just told you what I'm going to say about the issue. I'm not going to engage in this. We don't look down upon anyone. We treat everybody with dignity and respect. That's a principle that I've pursued my whole life. And we will take care of this issue of first impression for Congress as we will any other thing. We'll provide appropriate accommodation for every member of Congress.

Since getting my Lomi, I've been taking out way less garbage. I used to haul out like three full trash bags every week. Now I'm down to just one.

And what I love most is knowing how much waste I'm keeping out of landfills. Less trash means less methane, and with Lomi, I'm turning waste into dirt. My plants absolutely love. It's so satisfying to know I'm doing my part for the environment without any extra effort.

Here's Maga Mike again. Let's play this clip. Do you plan on bringing Nancy Macy's transgender bill and putting that into the rules package?
I'm not going to address the plans on any of that. I just told you what I'm going to say about the issue. I'm not going to engage in this. We don't look down upon anyone. We treat everybody with dignity and respect. That's a principle that I've pursued my whole life. And we will take care of this, you know, issue a first impression for Congress as we will any other thing. We'll provide appropriate accommodation for every member of Congress.
And so while you have Democrats like Jim McGovern going on the offense, you also have some Republicans going on the offense, some maggots against each other. So here you have MAGA Republican Anna Paulina Luna attacking
pretty much Republican senators who want to release the Matt Gaetz ethics report that could implicate Matt Gaetz in child sex trafficking. And Anna Paulina Loon is like, we're going to, we're going to come after your stock portfolios. We're going to look into you. If you do that here, play this clip.
And I will say that for the senators that are coming forward and stating that they need to read this testimony, let's look into these people's stocks portfolios and how they're becoming multimillionaires off of $175,000 a year. And by the way, while all of that's taking place on Capitol Hill, we heard from Donald Trump's borders are today, Tom Holman.
And for those who are out there saying, oh, they're not the bloody mass deportations. Is it real? That's not going to impact us. No bloody mass deportations. That's just criminals and terrorists. Well, everybody agrees that criminals and terrorists should be arrested, deported, and be prosecuted to the maximum extent by law.
That's not what Trump in there saying. Trump and then we're talking about bloody deportations going after your Abolita going after TU and Tia. That's their plan. Don't believe me? Here is the new borders are time home and talking today. Play this clip. Quickly, what happens to mayor or local police department chief that is under Democratic leadership that obstructs ICE in your federal agents that are helping get these deportations. What happens to them?
Well, first of all, if they don't want to help us get the hell out of the way, we're going to do it. If I got sent twice amount of resources to that city, that's what we're going to do. If they would give us access to the jail, that would mean less agents to the community. For them, pushing back and not letting us in the jail, it just means more agents are going to be in the community, so they're hurting themselves. Finally, I'll say this. They need to educate themselves. They need to review this.
Title 8, United States Coast, 1324, Triple I. Read about that and don't cross that line because it is a felony to harbor and conceal an illegal alien from ICE. Read the statute, don't cross that line.
That's a warning from Tom Holman right there. Oh, and back to Magma Mike Johnson right here, who continues to leave the door open to bypassing Congress and recess appointing people who are accused of sex trafficking, like Matt Gaetz and others who are accused of sexual assault, like the Fox News host Pete Eggseff, who Donald Trump nominated to be the secretary of defense here. Play this clip.
My question will the confirmation process be the ultimate task of the Republican Party
Well, look, it all remains to be seen. I mean, I genuinely believe that the Senate should do its job. I think it's an important principle for us to maintain that an incoming president gets to select their own team. I think that's an important principle. The advising consent responsibility is given to the Senate and the Constitution. They need to take that seriously, and they will. They'll properly vet nominees, and that process will play out.
Look, I'll just say this about a number of the nominees that have been appointed. I think President Trump is looking for persons who will shake up the status quo. And we got to mandate in this election cycle to do that. The status quo is not working for the American people. And so these are persons who will go in and bring real reform.
We also got to hear from Donald Trump's FCC nominee Donald Trump wants this guy Brendan Carr to chair the FCC. Here he is just threatening NBC and CBS over magnet conspiracies play this clip.
You know, there's a lot the FCC can do. Broadcasters are definitely situated in other speakers. They get free access to a valuable public resource, the airways, and they're licensed by the FCC. And the exchange for that is they have to serve the public interest. I think it's important that we take another look at that and we reinvigorate it. There's also a new distortion complaint at the FCC still.
having it with CBS. And CBS has a transaction before the FCC. And I'm pretty confident that that news distortion complaint over the CBS 60 Minutes transcript is something that's likely to arise in the context of the FCC's review of that transaction. We also got news that Donald Trump selected Howard Lutnik, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitch, Gerald, to be the Secretary of Commerce. And here's what Lutnik was known for saying during the campaign. Play this clip.
So the first thing we must elect Donald J. Trump president because we must crush jihad. And finally, let me show you here. This is some video of Matt Gates that has surfaced where he was donating $1,000 to little girl fundraisers and then showing her an old photo of them together about how much she's grown.
Play the clip. All of your achievements is in success along the way. I think you got a great future ahead of you and I'm looking forward to being a cheerleader for you. Thank you. So what's next, huh? Tell me what you're always working on a fun or interesting project. What are you working on these days? I am still trying to complete my goal of $7,000 for the Ronald McDonald House. And right now, over $6,000.
You're over six, so you have one more. Do I have one more? One more? I tell you what, I'm in for it. The Friends of Bad Gage campaign will donate $1,000. So I'll make that pledge and we'll get that to you and that way we'll complete the goal together. Thank you so much. See you look, that's us. I would do that. Yeah.
And finally here is Democratic Congress member Jared Moskowitz going on the offense to against foreign interference play this clip. And so I do want to say one more thing because I think it's tremendously important for my colleagues across the aisle and my Democratic colleagues. It is so important that we don't allow FEMA to become politicized and that we don't allow disaster aid to become politicized. Laser beams do not start fires in California.
We cannot guide where hurricanes go. And you know what? You know who's amplifying that stuff?
foreign accounts. Other countries are amplifying that stuff on social media to divide us, to divide Democrats and Republicans. They want us fighting over disaster aid because it helps their goal. We can't participate in that. We shouldn't amplify that. Well, there you have it folks. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 4 million subscribers. And thank you for watching. Love this video.
