This is what AOC does with everything. When she's talking about climate change. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. Lie. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.
I mean, I guess my question would be what does the word problem mean?
I think that we have a problem on immigration because of the lack of progress that we've had on this issue. And as we know, Republicans weaponize that lack of progress. Of course, there was famously a bipartisan bill last year that the Republican majority In in the Senate and also in the House were willing to pass. President Biden was willing to work with them on it.
And Donald Trump said, do not solve this problem as long as it is broken. Then it will be politically beneficial.
It is a problem not just for Democrats.
If a person is so much as accused of a crime, if someone wants to point a finger and accuse someone of shoplifting, they will be rounded up and put into a private detention camp and signed and sent out for deportation without a day in court. without a moment to assert their right and without a moment to assert the privilege of innocent until proven guilty.
That is what is inside this bill, a fundamental suspension of a core American value.
DHS is allegedly looking into arresting members of Congress who were showing up for their legal and constitutional obligation to conduct oversight. If anyone's breaking the law in this situation, it's not members of Congress, it's the Department of Homeland Security. It's people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on someone, on Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman,
on representative or any of the representatives that were there, you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
It's the first time he has heard those words.
I think that this collective American experience, which is so twisted to have in the wealthiest nation in the world, all of that pain that people have experienced is being concentrated on this event. And it's really important that we take a step back. This is not to comment and this is not to say that an act of violence is justified.
But I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them. Oh my God, you.
Because Los Angeles is on fire right now. And this is the number one priority this majority has.
Oh, my God. You're giving Barney Rubble a bad name. Play this clip. One of these seminars, Tom Holman, then acting director of ICE, said that he was going to threaten to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutionally guaranteed protections. And he may want to do it again today. And to that, I say, come for me. Tom.
There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen right there. Hello. Hello. I'm talking to you because I work for you. And they deserve to see what is happening here because there are plenty of districts, including Republican ones, where 25% of your constituents are on Medicaid. 40% of your constituents are on Medicaid. And yes, I am talking to them. I am talking to them.
And I will not yield because it was a terribly disrespectful comment. And I will not yield to disrespectful men. Thank you very much.
I want to see Epstein's list.
And we saw it just happen with Trump's corrupt and disastrous and rushed tariff scheme. We saw Marjorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. I got one question for her. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people's despair? How much did you make off that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can't accept it.
I hope we see now that it was all about manipulating the markets so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning. To be clear, I don't care what party you are, Democrat or Republican. It doesn't matter how powerful one is or the position that one holds. Members of Congress holding and trading individual stock is wrong. It is corrosive.
It is destructive. And it needs to be banned.
Here we are today. Republicans who have voted against, consistently, against the Violence Against Women Act, who have taken away the right of all women to choose and have control over their own body, who, as women, are bleeding out in parking lots across the country, standing there, allowing us to die, now want to pretend today that they care about women. And why?
To open up gender and, yes, genital examinations into little girls in this country in the so-called name of attacking trans girls. And to that, today, what we have to say are two words, not today. The majority right now says there's no place in this bill that says it opens up for genital examinations. Well, here's the thing. There's no enforcement mechanism in this bill.
And when there is no enforcement mechanism, you open the door to every enforcement mechanism.
