1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Austin Scott. He's a Maga Republican Congressman from Georgia, and 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: he went on CNN to sit down with Brionna Killer 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: to lament the loss of Jim Jordan's ambitions to become 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. Now, Austin Scott seems very sad 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: when he's on television, befuddled and lost. You see, Austin 6 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: Scott is sad. Mike Kevin, the man who raised more 7 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: money than any other Speaker of the House in history, 8 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: according to Austin Scott, has been deposed. Austin Scott seems 9 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: to think the qualification to be the Speaker of the 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: House is that's the job that goes to the person 11 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: who raises the most money, as opposed to the person 12 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: who's a competent politically, who has some vision, can organize 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: a conference around a set of goals and advance people 14 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: towards it from all over the country. The simple truth 15 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: of the matter is that two hundred and twenty two 16 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: Republicans in the United States Congress that constitute the very 17 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: thin majority are as dysfunctional, disordered, messed up, and chaotic 18 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: as any comparable group of two hundred and twenty two 19 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: randomly selected people anywhere in the country, meaning this group 20 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: of two hundred and twenty two people may be America's 21 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: most dysfunctional group of any random two hundred and twenty 22 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: two people. 23 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: It is extraordinary. 24 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: Now, over and over and over again in this interview, 25 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Austin couldn't stop telling Brionna Kieler why it is there 26 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: is no Speaker of the House. And you guessed who's 27 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: to blame. Not the Republicans who control the institution, but 28 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: the Democrats. The Democrats who did not vote for Kevin McCarthy, 29 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: a corrupt and cynical man, deeply, deeply involved in inciting 30 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: an insurrection against the United States House of Representatives for 31 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the purposes of tearing down American democracy to make the 32 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: loser of the presidential campaign the winner. 33 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: Let's look at some of the images from that day. 34 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: They came and assaulted police officers, beating them with American flag. 35 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy did this, Jim Jordan did this. Donald Trump 36 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: of course did it, but he didn't do it alone. 37 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: This violence is chaos. 38 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: The Nazis and Orlando, the Proud Boys, beating, assaulting, attacking 39 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: people on the streets, the mag of Republicans did this. 40 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: Austin Scott did this, and. 41 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: He has the nerve to go onto television and gaslight 42 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, but thankfully in this instance, 43 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: the crazy hit a brick wall and the proverbial brick 44 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: wall in this instance, or the exquisite facial expressions of 45 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Brionna Killer, who is obviously at the highest level of 46 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: human existence when it comes to the ability to communicate nonverbally. 47 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: Look at the look on her face as he goes 48 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: on and on and won't stop with the bullshit. Look 49 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: at her use of silence in this instant. Can you 50 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 1: imagine being her kid? I'm going to do my best 51 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: to explain to Congressman Scott how the American government functions 52 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: basic stuff like I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill. 53 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: There are two major political parties in America, Congressman. They 54 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: are the Republican and the Democratic parties. They are, respectively, 55 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: the third and first oldest in the world. Your party, 56 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: the Maga Party, has hijacked the Republican Party, founded in 57 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: eighteen fifty four like a body snatcher. It has been 58 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: completely consumed by the cancerost Trump and the Maga movement, 59 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: which is isolationist, fascistic, and utterly hostile to democracy, filled 60 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: with cranks, ne'er dowells, and racists. This Maga movement is 61 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: a profound threat to the country and completely antithetical to 62 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: the values historically of the Republican Party. Now, since you 63 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: don't understand the basic stuff, Congressman, I don't think you'll 64 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: get the history I'm about to say, but it is important. 65 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: When the party was founded, a man who founded it 66 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: named Horace Greeley said it would be the greatest party 67 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: for freedom the world had ever known. Its first president 68 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: was Abraham Lincoln Scott. Your party, the Republican Party, the 69 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: Maga Party, was the party that attacked the peaceful transition 70 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: of power, that incited a mob to attack the capital 71 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: of the United States and to carry a Confederate flag 72 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: through it. The person who resurrected Donald Trump after that 73 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: act is one of the most corrupt, dishonest, and unfit 74 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: elected officials in American history. His name was Kevin McCarthy. 75 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: He was the Speaker, and now he's gone. He's gone, Congressman, 76 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: because your party. 77 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to say this again, slowly. 78 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: Your party, the Republican Party, the Republican Conference moved emotion 79 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: to vacate the speaker's chair and he lost the vote. 80 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: The Democrats didn't do that. The Republicans did that. And 81 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: when you go on CNN and you gaslight the American people, 82 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: it's wrong. Let me say again, Congressman Kevin McCarthy is 83 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: gone because the Republican conference is a collection of weirdos, cranks, 84 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists, and dishonest gaslighters like you. 85 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: You're a non functional group of people. You couldn't run. 86 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: A coffee stand, a valet stand, a beach bar, or 87 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: a lawn chair company. Group. You are as a collection 88 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: some of the most unfitted people who have ever breathed 89 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: there in these United States, spectacularly unfit for responsibility. There 90 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: are literally none of you who any Democrat could ever 91 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: vote for because of the malice and the insurrection in 92 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: the couplicity in thirty five thousand, at least of Trump's lives. 93 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: How many Republicans congressmen have voted for Nancy Pelosi over 94 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: the years. The answer is zero, which raises a question, 95 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: why are you trying to blame Democrats for Republican dysfunction? 96 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't really in the end, I suppose what it 97 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: is you say Congressman Scott. Other than this, it just 98 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: proves how feted, dishonest, and delusional the entire enterprise has come. 99 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: The most simple and elemental test of any House majority 100 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: is picking a speaker, and the Republican Conference can't do it, 101 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: not because of the Democrats, but because of its incandescent weirdness, dysfunction, 102 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: and the accumulation of toxic, dishonest, and dim witted personalities 103 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: like you, Congressman Scott, working every day to make America 104 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: great again. Well it looks like it's going terrific.
