Why are MAGA Republicans in panic mode ahead of the midterms?
The Republicans are in full-fledged panic mode as the midterms are right around the corner, folks. Finally, we are in the home stretch. Not surprisingly, MAGA Mike Johnson shut down the House of Representatives as the second Epstein discharge petition got the requisite 218 signatures it needed, as there was an impeachment resolution regarding. Pete Hegsith. MAGA Mike is like, we gotta shut it down. I'm sure he also saw the cross-examination of Treasury Secretary Bessant and whatever the hell that was regarding Cash Patel. It's important, folks. Oversight. It's a real thing. And when we got to see it one day, boy, was it illuminating. And so you've got MAGA leadership freaking out across the country. They're seeing
Polling data everywhere from Texas to Kansas to Ohio and Michigan to Iowa and Florida. You name it, there is no safe MAGA district. You've got MAGA Republicans cutting ads against Donald Trump right now, like Congresswoman Salazar and what was believed to be a safe seat in southern Florida. She was saying, Donald, you're advising. Advisors led you astray on immigration. When we all know Congresswoman Salazar aided and embedded Donald Trump's cruel and unusual torture of her own constituents. So let's take a look at what's going down right here. You've got MAGA Republican Senator Ted Cruz panicking on air.
Let's play this clip. There is there is a time for every season. We are in the season of the midterms, and and so my focus politically right now is election day in November. We are at real risk of losing both the House and Senate. So I am devoting every waking hour to raising money to campaigning to fighting to keep the Senate Republican to keep the House Republican. If the Democrats take take the Congress, they will use it to fight with everything they can to stop President Trump's agenda. And so I'm doing everything I can to stop that
There then you have Tom Emmer in leadership, MAGA Republican Congress member from Minnesota, and he's like, Yeah, gas smash, who care? Well well, we we have a great
record here. Play this clip. Spending is up six percent from last year. I think people are gonna do that emotional thing. Uh like somebody just sent me a meme that said four dollar gas, uh and uh six dollar diesel, not acceptable, but it's not gonna get me to vote for a communist.
This thing was in the tell, it was good. Uh Majority Work. Tom Emma, what a pleasure. Come and see us again. More from Congressmember Emma right here. Let's play this clip. Uh I think you got a problem. Four dollar gas, six dollar diesel, seven percent mortgages. Uh it's hard to argue that uh
You're better than them when it comes to the economy. Well, I we do have a lot to sell. I I understand where Senator Kennedy's coming from on the Senate side, and you'll notice that Chad was just interviewing Senators. If you talk to uh Republicans on the House side, Stewart, we have accomplished a ton. I mean, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on tip. We raised the uh the child care tax credit. The list goes on and on. You can buy an American-made car and you can deduct your interest on that uh loan. There are so many things to work on that the House actually has accomplished. Uh, you've got to just go back to it because yes, there are headwinds that are created by $6 diesel, $4 gas, uh groceries. I mean, these are headwinds that you got to deal with.
But the beauty of the U.S. House of Representatives, which people are missing is we are not just a monolith. We are 435 pieces of geography. Each one has unique demographics to that geography.
I think now I want to bring in the Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, an interview I just did with him. I want to ask him about the oversight that the American people are demanding right now, if and when Democrats take control of the House. Let's bring in that interview. Want to bring in Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries. Leader Jeffries, great to see you as always. So you have MAGA running scared again. MAGA Mike Johnson said they were going to stay in session for a lot longer. I mean, I think they worked, I guess I guess you all worked because of MAGA Mike, what, 15 legislative days in the past four months?
