Now, 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: I am fully aware that I am not mature enough 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: to have certain conversations because my default setting is laughter. Okay. 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: I am a very unseerious person because we live in 12 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: the United States of anxiety, and I've been dealing with 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: anxiety and panic attacks my whole life. And if it's 14 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: one thing therapy has taught me, it's we must always 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: find joy. And I find joy in jokes. Okay. In 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: this situation with Representative Keith's Self gave me great joy. 17 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: I laughed a lot because Keith Self decided to abruptly 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: adjourn a congressional hearing on Tuesday after being challenged for 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: referring to Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware as a man. Now, 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: maybe you don't know, don't show, or don't give a 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: damn that Sarah McBride is the first openly transgender lawmaker 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: in Congress.

After the exchange, Massachusetts Representative 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: William Keating defended his Democratic colleague. 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: Mister chairman, you are out of the order. Mister chairman, 42 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: have you no decency? I mean, I come to know 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: you a little bit, but this is not decent.

You will not continue it with me 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way. 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: South End immediately adjourned the meeting.

Okay, he wanted 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: Keith self to repeat himself for the same reason I 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: wanted Keith self to say it again for my own 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: personal enjoyment. And you heard Keith's self. He doubled down 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: and can we hear it again one more time? Right? 55 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I only hear it in full. 56 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: I'm here in full now it's the representative from Delaware, 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: mister McBride, Thank you, Madam, chair Ranking Member Keating also 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: wonderful Stewart. 59 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Chairman. 60 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: Could you repeat your introduction please?

Mister chairman, have you no decency? 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: I mean I have come to know you a little bit, 69 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: but this is not decent. 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: We will continue this. 71 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: You will not continue it with me unless you introduce 72 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: a duly elected representative the right way. 73 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: I have to play white Devil's advocate here because I 74 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: understand where missus self is coming from, because I too 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: have been wondering what to do in this situation. Because 76 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: that's Keith self explained on social media and I'm quoting 77 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: him here. It is the policy of the United States 78 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: to recognize two sexes, male and female. Why because one 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: of President Trump's early moves of his second term was 80 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: to sign an executive order that the federal government would 81 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: only recognize two sexists and they were not changeable. Okay, 82 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: an executive order was signed. It's right there in black 83 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: and white. I don't know what to do in this situation. 84 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: It's all so confusing. So William Keating, you getting frustrated 85 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: with mister self when all he's doing is what your 86 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: boss told him to do. Did a memo go out 87 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: telling members of Congress what to do in this situation 88 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: after Trump signed that executive order? Of course it didn't. 89 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: So I'm not really upset at Keith self for doing 90 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: what the President told him to do. What I am 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: upset about, and the reason I'm giving Keith self donkey 92 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: today is because he adjourned the session. See, these petty 93 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: culture wars are hurting democracy. You heard me say earlier 94 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: that they were in the middle of a hearing on 95 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: arms control in US assistance to Europe. I kind of 96 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: know what that is. I believe I know what that means. 97 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: But I know one thing for sure. That panel is 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: more important than whether or not Sarah McBride is referred 99 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: to as mister or missed. And you know who knows 100 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: that better than anyone, Sarah McBride. See on other occasions, 101 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Republicans presiding over the floor and in hearings, have you 102 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: either tried to stay away from the issue by referring 103 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: to Sarah as the member from Delaware, even though the 104 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: custom is to refer to lawmakers as gentlemen or gentlewomen. 105 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: I actually like them just referring to her as the 106 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: member from Delaware, even though I don't know if Sarah 107 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: has had their members surgically removed, but Sarah rarely discusses 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: or calls attention to her identity. Okay, this is how 109 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: she conducted herself on her campaign and in her first 110 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: month of Congress. She prefers to talk about economic issues. 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: And that's what I want all you elected officials to do. 112 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Focus on the actual issues that impact our world. Okay, 113 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Keith self, there's no reason to adjourn a meeting because 114 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: you was challenged on calling Sarah him when William Keating 115 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: says you out of order, say well, hey, the President 116 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: signs an executive order and that's what I'm following. But 117 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: to take your ball and run home because your ego 118 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: got bruised. Come on, man, grow up. You a member 119 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: of Congress. We got bigger issues to deal with. You 120 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: can't just take your balls and go home, and neither 121 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: can Sarah McBride. Ironically, ironically, she's the only person in 122 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: this situation with balls. So you're right, Keith, but you're 123 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: also wrong. Please give Representative Keith South the biggest he hull. 124 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: It's just bigger issues to deal with. Guys and girls 125 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: and girl guys. It's crazy well, thank you for the 126 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: biggest issues to deal with. 127 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: Thank you for that Donkey today. 128 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: Yes, Donkey of Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: attorney Michael the Bull lamb is soft.
