Full Episode
Congress and get everybody back to work. I certainly pray and hope that they will do that and they don't drag this on for political purposes.
Thank you all so much.
There goes MAGA Mike. You're watching a closed House of Representative Chambers because despite MAGA Mike saying, I want to get people back to work, he's literally shut down the House of Representatives and told the Republican caucus, everybody, time for a paid vacation. And you saw right there he wouldn't answer a basic question.
When are you going to swear in the congresswoman-elect from Arizona's 7th Congressional District? Adelita Grijalva. Are you too scared that she's going to be the 218 signature on the discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein files? Well, Attorney General Pam Bondi in that Senate committee hearing today sure didn't want to answer questions about Donald Trump and the Epstein files.
That was for sure. More on that later. But Megan Mike Johnson, during that press conference, was asked, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene in your party, she says that you all don't have a plan on health care and that health care costs are already unaffordable and it's going to get far worse if you don't extend the ACA subsidies. So what do you say to her? Megan Mike, here, play this clip.
Yes, sir.
Congresswoman Greene specifically said that Republicans do not have a plan to deal with health care.
Congresswoman Greene does not serve on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with those specialized issues. And she's probably not read in on some of that because they've still been sort of in their silos of the people who specialize in those issues. When we get the conference back and when everybody's back together, we'll go through a lot of that. I mean, I've spoken personally.
I guess she doesn't know the answer. He claims that she was not read on and that she just doesn't know anything about health, Claire. Mike Johnson also floats not giving furloughed federal workers back pay. Here, play this clip.
