Hey, who's driving? I've only driven four. Where are we going now? What do you think we're doing here? Bus, taxi or a clear ride?
Paul Stewart-Ford 0:11
Well, of course. Obviously.
Difficult situation. Easy solution. Only clear to the wheel. Transport safety.

Mr. Minister of Budget, what kind of signs do you see in the air at the moment? No signs at all. Instead, I see amazing signs on the streets, on the streets, on the slopes, even on any land. What are you talking about? Not anything, but the winter season of Budgesport. I mean, what? Whatever, all the signs are coming from there. We're offering the best signs with a 60% discount.

There was apparently chaos during a private call of MAGA Republican House members as a growing list of MAGA Republicans are completely pissed off that they are no longer being able to show up in the House. They don't like MAGA Mike's strategy. Their constituents are getting incredibly angry at them, and they think that MAGA Mike strategy has been awful. We heard Dan Crenshaw was yelling at people, why are you telling us not to show back up in DC? This seems to be a terrible strategy. Meanwhile, you had MAGA Mike this morning holding one of these disastrous press conferences where he brought in more MAGA Republican Congress members who were pretending, I guess, that they're doing work when the American people know that the Republicans are taking vacations.

You've got Tom Emmer right here saying, why are Democrats wasting their time talking about the ballroom? Why are they doing that?
Tom Emmer 2:51
Here, play this clip. Instead of complaining about a new White House ballroom, how about you try doing your actual job and reopen the government for the people you were elected to serve?
Ben Meiselas 3:02
Excuse me, Mr. Emmer, let me show you this photo right here. The Republican side of the House chamber has nobody there. The Democratic side has everybody there. Democrats are working to make sure that Americans don't lose their healthcare coverage while MAGA Republicans not only want to take away people's healthcare coverage, but take away their supplemental nutrition assistance program from 42 million Americans. Bring in Steve Scalise, who as the MAGA Republicans are wrecking our healthcare system, quite literally ripping healthcare away, he thinks it's wise this morning to blame Democrats for wrecking the healthcare system. Seriously? The American people aren't buying it, but play this clip. And they want to talk about healthcare?
Ben Meiselas 3:47
Give me a break. Look at what they've done. They've wrecked the healthcare system. They fought to raise premiums on families. What are you talking about? You literally refuse to extend the subsidies that keep the prices low. So no one is buying the Steve Scalise. Then you have Congresswoman McClain. I think she just gave it away here where she says, don't let the facts get in front of a good story. Here, play this clip.
Lisa McClain 4:15
While Democrats posture in front of the cameras, Republicans are actually out in their districts working. Just take a look at the video that we've been playing all morning, right? Don't let the facts get in the way of the good story. Republicans, like the colleagues you see behind me, have been in their district working for the American people who are suffering.
Ben Meiselas 4:35
When was the last time Republicans held town halls? Because I recall seeing Democrats holding town halls across the country. Well, maybe there are two or three MAGA Republicans who have held town halls and they've been booed and mostly kind of walked off the stage.
