Bakersfield, this is a matter of fact. Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. And if he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror.
If he has found all of this waste, fraud, and abuse, we don't want that either. But what we're talking about is burning down the house instead of taking... I'm still talking, please. What we're talking about is burning down the house instead of taking out the garbage. There is waste in the federal government. All of us would like to see that go so that we can help the people.
Mr. Lawler, can you please let me finish my... Can you let me finish my conversation? And I'm going to finish.

And here's the thing, it doesn't matter if you're young, old, or Gen X, Gen Z, I don't give a shit. But I come, we're now a new generation. We are the fuck around and find out generation. Fuck around. Fuck around. Fuck around. That's the energy we need. Thank you so much.
The United States has run trade deficits for 48 straight years, during which time the U.S. economy has grown by 255% in real terms. These decades of trade deficits have corresponded with increases in American wealth and household incomes that far exceed the progress in Canada, China, and the European Union.
Do you think that this growth in American wealth as a result associated with deficits is something that constitutes a national emergency?
We seem to have done much better than in the Gilded Age, which the president prefers. I would just say that on the eve of his inauguration, the president promised to bring prices drastically down, and there's nothing that you've said in your answers or non-answers.
me today that will give americans any assurance to believe anything other than that their prices will continue to soar and their savings will continue to shrink the president's lies continue to cause the american cost the american people dearly i yield back going back to democratic senator cortez mastro watch this be intellectually honest
Mr. Trade Representative, are you aware that the tariffs have been paused? I am, yes. When were you made aware of that? Well, I understood the decision was made a few minutes ago.
Sitting here, under discussion. So did you know that this was under discussion? And why did you not include that as part of your opening remarks?
No, excuse me. China increased their tariffs on the United States. Trump blinked. What's the blink, sir?
How long is the pause? How many days? How many weeks?
So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the president of the United States about a global reordering of trade negotiations. Yes, I have. I've just been in a hearing with you. But yet he announced it on a tweet. WTF? Who's in charge?
There's no question that Maga Mike Johnson right now is very nervous about what's happening with the tariffs. He can't even put a couple sentences together to oppose. It's going to be a destructive economic move by Donald Trump. Anyone that you talk to, any economists, any House Republican in a quiet moment when they're just to themselves will tell you that they are dreading this tariff process.
policy that's going to be put in place. And let's be clear about what's going to happen. It's essentially a additional tax on goods. Prices are going to go up on everyday goods even more than they are right now.
And the amount of chaos, the amount of shock this is going to actually have into the supply chain system is going to be incredibly devastating to an industry that just started recovering from the COVID pandemic and is actually back now on track. Let's think about this. You have ports across this country, especially on the West Coast and the East Coast, of which trade drives the economy.
Trade drives, we know drives our economic growth for so much of the country. And now you're causing chaos, confusion. Major retailers don't know how much they should order as far as goods. What are people actually going to pay for? And you have businesses not able to actually anticipate what the needs are of the consumer. So it's going to be an incredibly chaotic day.
The markets are going to react, I mean, horrifically as they already are. And Donald Trump is essentially saying that he doesn't care if he drives us into a recession.
I mean, people are fired up. In the case of Young Kim, everyone's asking the same question. Where is Young Kim? Why won't she meet her constituents? Why would she refuse to answer questions? And these are not just Democrats and independents. These are also Republican constituents of hers. She's choosing to cowardly hide behind any sort of accountability.
She's choosing to hide, not answer questions, and people are demanding answers. They're wondering why Medicaid's being attacked and cut. They're wondering why the Department of Education, which impacts neighborhood school, is being cut, and Young Kim is nowhere to be found. And on terrorists, they have no idea why the president is doing this. They're complaining, as they should.
