It's again the time of the year that everyone has been waiting for. People are in a hurry and in a hurry. First a gift, then to the grocery store, sometimes to clean up and to pack. To the kitchen, boxes to the kitchen, it's about to start. Food to the table, snacks to the kitchen and to eat. Then we share the gifts, we repeat the same thing the next day, but without gifts. Sleep on the day of the party. Finally and last try the best time of the year when the ice cream falls to the ice.

Starting on 26th of December on TV5 and HBO Max. Hey, who's driving? I've only had four. Where are we going now?

So as the week came to its end, the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate only continued to lose their minds even more. They would make these public appearances where they would say, know everything that's bad right now it's the democrats fault the inflation they sometimes claim it doesn't exist or it does exist depending on what donald trump wants him to say but just just blame the democrats for everything like here you have mega republican congress member byron donald here's what he was saying on state regime media known as fox today play this clip
The population that is still hurting in some respects our economy, that was unleashed by the Democrats with no Republican votes. Healthcare policy in our country where premiums have skyrocketed, deductibles have skyrocketed, that was passed through by Democrats with no Republican input. And now they're back saying they need even more subsidies to cover up their irresponsible healthcare policies. That was pushed through by them. Look, at some point, in my view, the next time the Democrats have the trifecta, they are going to get rid of the filibuster. And when they do that, they're going to start moving towards universal health care, which was the original design from Obamacare.
Ben Meiselas 2:15
Oh, my God, everybody's getting health care. Oh, my gosh. By the way, you have the trifecta. You literally have been in control now for 10 months and you've run the country into the ground. This is a Trump Republican government shutdown. While Donald Trump's like sleeping, like do we all see him sleeping yesterday while he was in the Oval Office? And there was first like one of the guy like passed out who was there and Trump did nothing and just started looking at the cameras. Then Trump fell asleep. So today all the MAGA Republicans were out there and they were like, he's got so much stamina. He's so strong. It's just really weird stuff. Like here's MAGA Republican Senator Rick Scott. He's like, he's out there so much energy.
Ben Meiselas 2:55
Here, play this clip. He hates war. He hates war. He's trying to bring peace to the Middle East. Think about how many people's lives will improve if we can get peace in the Middle East. And so, you know, I'm very appreciative of his hard work. I was over there at breakfast on Tuesday, and this guy, Trump, is just busting his butt every day working hard to get our economy going, to bring peace. I mean, you really have to admire him. He's got a lot of stamina. And also he's doing the rare earth deals that are gonna free us from the extortion that China has put us through. Oh yeah, you're doing the rare earth deals. You mean when China was giving us rare earth elements under Biden, and then because of Trump's trade war against the world, they did export controls on rare earths and stopped buying soybeans from our farmers.
Ben Meiselas 3:40
And now the deal is we get to send them less soybeans and rare earth elements, still have export controls on them. And every year Trump has to go back and beg like, quite literally the worst deal imaginable. Who's their audience? Like, do they realize that farmers know they're lying?

What recent events have caused Republican leaders to panic?

Ben Meiselas 3:56
Americans know they're lying. Didn't the voters send a resounding message earlier? And then you have the anti-labor secretary, the MAGA Republican, Lori Chavez-Durimer. Here's what she had to say, let's
I can tell you the president has done a wonderful job because the consumer confidence was up, the momentum this administration was on with energy prices down, grocery prices down, the stock market has been up, economic growth 3.8%, expected to go up even further.
