Maga Mike had another meltdown during his morning press conferences. He continues this morning humiliation ritual. Donald Trump sends him out. He just talks about how tired he is. And then it just becomes this bizarre like projection where he's really like, I think, venting his frustration with Trump, but he's not communicating it that way with his words, but with his body language, he clearly is. Let me just show you. He goes, people keep coming to me and saying, Why are you so tired, Mike? Why are you so tired? Here, play this clip.
And here in Washington, the work has gone on in earnest as well. People keep commenting to me, you look so tired on TV. I am so tired because we're not sleeping a lot. We're working overtime. Here in Washington, our house committees have continued to conference together.
You're literally not working. You've literally sent your members to go home on vacation. So then MAGA Mike goes, but let me tell you what we're really tired about. We're tired of making history. Yeah, the longest government shutdown, the highest prices, the worst presidency, the lowest approval in history. Here's what he says. Let's play it.
We're in uncharted waters as a nation. As we say up here all the time, we're so tired of making history. I just want normal times, normal Congress again. But the Biden administration.
Those normal times, you know, like when the Biden administration tore down the East Wing of the White House. Remember that? Remember how how wacky that was? And then Biden would wake up and he would post videos of himself taking diarrhea on peaceful protesters. You all remember those? Those were the crazy. I just want to get. What in the world is happening here? But then MAGA Mike has asked a very important question. If you're able to find money to, I don't know, do other projects, why can't you find any types of money to help people who are about to lose SNAP? 42 million Americans are about to lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. You can't figure that one out, MAGA Mike. Let's play it.
The White House is able to find funding for military, for white, for farmers.
Should the White House now be able to find some funding for the staff program if they've done it wrong?
They certainly tried. I mean, one of the reasons that this shutdown has not yet been as painful as it might otherwise have been is because the president is bent over backwards the administration. Think of it this way. The White House executive branch in a shutdown has a large control panel full of dials. Under the Obama administration, they turn those dials, the pain dials, to 10 immediately. You remember it was so egregious to us.
bring up obama and by the way if you go back and just rewind the the body language and the faces of like congresswoman harriet hagman over there she's the one who walks around the capitol building with the lasso and the other piece it's like i swear to you it would be a saturday night live skit if they weren't causing people so much pain you couldn't script this thing this way And then MAGA Mike in the ultimate projection says, you just can't allow a president to go around having unchecked power to be unaccountable. Because I think that the big thing that MAGAs wanted to roll out today is we need to focus on the auto pen and Biden uses auto pens. What are you even talking about?
Here, play this clip. To set the precedent, you can't allow a president to check out and have unelected, unaccountable, faceless people making massive decisions for the country.
