1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: The maga Republican House of Representatives will demonstrate once again 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: this week it's abject unfitness to do the people's business. 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: This is a group of two hundred and twenty two 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: people picked elected from all over the country. It judged 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: collectively against any other grouping of two hundred and twenty 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: two Americans. These people are unparalleled for their incompetence, their weirdness, idiocy, 7 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: and imbecility. The idea that somebody, anybody, any adult, would 8 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: vote to elect Jim Jordan to be second in line 9 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: in presidential succession a constitutional law officer Speaker of the House, 10 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: is beyond words. Truly, he is unfit, juvenile, petulant, and 11 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: utterly incapable of functioning at the highest levels of the 12 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: American government in times of crisis. The Republican majority has 13 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,639 Speaker 1: been off the rails for a long time, but even 14 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: then it was able to maintain even if it was 15 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: just the thinnest veneer of functionality. But now, at this moment, 16 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives is utterly shut, paralyzed, broken. At 17 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: a time of genuine global crisis, the House of Representatives 18 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: cannot pass appropriations bills, which means the United States of 19 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: America cannot arm the Ukrainian defense forces. That means they 20 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: will be starved, choked, and ultimately overrun by Russian aggression 21 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: when they run out of the munitions they need to fight. 22 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: It is the broken Republican House that is wrecking America's 23 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: capacity to function in this moment of crisis as the 24 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: world's arsenal of democracy. The House of Representatives cannot pass 25 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: appropriations bills to support Israel in a time of existential 26 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: threat for the Jewish State. Why because of the dysfunction 27 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: and disordered personalities of the people who, in their accumulation, 28 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: have arrived together with an R next to their names 29 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: as members of Congress. It is a political party ruled 30 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: by a minority faction that bullies, threatens, cajoles, intimidates, and 31 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: rolls over it's cowardly and principle as colleagues time and 32 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: time again. Do you want to know how sick and 33 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: broken American government is in the Republican House of Representatives, 34 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: look no further than this outrageous email from their leader, 35 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. This email is being sent to members of Congress. 36 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: It's like a note from a mob boss reminding everybody 37 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: to pay the vig or else. Here we go from 38 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: a man who, along with Laura Ingram, and along with 39 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, and along with his dishonest network, poisoned faith 40 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and belief in American democracy, and now the real leadership 41 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party is asserting itself the cable news 42 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: hosts who live fantastical lives of privilege and wealth. Sean 43 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Hannity makes tens and tens of millions of dollars a 44 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: year lying to you and to all of the American people, 45 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: and he's not content with that. Sean Hannity has become 46 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: a principal advisor to President Trump, to the MAGA movement. 47 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: He is the club that will be used to beat 48 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: any repelcitrant Republican census for daring to defy the most 49 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: extreme elements of the Republican Party. Let's read the email. 50 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Hello Stephanie from The Hannity Show with Fox News sources 51 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: tell Hannity that REPX is not supporting Jim Jordan for Speaker. 52 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Can you please let me know if this is accurate 53 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: and if true? Hannity would like to know why during 54 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: a war breaking out between Israel and hamas with the 55 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: war in Ukraine, with the wide open borders with a 56 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: budget that's unfinished. Why would Rep. X be against Rep. 57 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan for Speaker? Please let us know and REPX 58 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: plans on opening the People's House so work can be done. Lastly, 59 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: are there any conditions Rep. X will choose to work 60 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: with Democrats on the process of electing a new Speaker. 61 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: The deadline for comment is eleven am Tomorrow, ten sixteen. 62 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: Thank you Sean Hannity doesn't want Republicans to work with Democrats. 63 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: Here's something a Republican elected officials should say to Sean Hannity, 64 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: go away. You're a TV host who cares that our 65 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: elected officials, any of them, are cowed by this man. 66 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: Is extraordinary. This man gave moral cover to the seditionist 67 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: criminals who sought to burn down the Capitol, who sought 68 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: to destroy the American Constitution, and now he laments the 69 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: closure of the People's House. How nice. What a sad moment, 70 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: What a moment that marks the decay of our democracy, 71 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: of the functionality of the most important concept that there's 72 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: ever been, that government of the people, by the people 73 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: for the people must endure. What this moment does is 74 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: test whether that proposition will because these people the Republican 75 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: Congress aren't capable of running a coffee stand, much less 76 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the US government. Each one of them could have their 77 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: faces carved into a mountain of unfitness. The problem in 78 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: this moment is we're all there, hostages,
