How did Democrats seize the hearing and challenge MAGA Republicans' talking points?
Republicans in the House and Senate were absolutely stunned as Democrats took command, cross examining witnesses and exposing the MAGA Republicans' fraudulent talking points, led by Democrats like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin and others. Democrats were winning the day in a big way, finally being aggressive. Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Rocket was basically saying, Hey, you MAGA Republicans are here at this hearing trashing Los Angeles and trashing blue states. You may want to get your facts straight here, play this clip.
In fact, I have another you seen. Without objection. All right, blue states are bailing out red states. Uh, I have another you see. Without objection. Mass Massachusetts sends more funding to the feds than any other state. It seems like blue states are constantly uh putting red states on life support, yet we got these little red states that ain't contributing nothing, but they are definitely taking up a lot of money. You know, it is interesting because the governor in California, I don't know if you caught this, but governor Newsom was talking about. Just holding on to his dollars because California is what they call a donor state, meaning that they actually contribute more than they take from the federal government.
And then you can go down south to states like Louisiana, who are broke. And so they need California to pay in. So it is so interesting that we are so concerned about whether or not we are pushing certain ideas ideologies.
And here she was again at the same hearing, let's play it.
Earlier, someone mentioned these hell holes, talking about the cities, right? Talking about cities being hell holes. I just want to point to Los Angeles. I'm sure that's one of the cities they were referring to when they said that. Los Angeles contributes almost $20 billion in taxes. You know what? That's more than all states in this country, except for Ford. So guess what? If we are gonna push any ideologies. It seems like LA should have an outsized uh interest in the ideology because it seems like they actually contribute more money than all these other states, especially these red states, to be clear. In fact, I have another UC. All right, blue states are bailing out red states.
So Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin is saying, Okay, uh the whole country is saying release the files because that's what Trump was saying. Now you all are hiding it. Hmm, very suspicious. Here play this clip.
Associate Ms. Maxwell's in jail for 20 years. The whole country is saying release the files. That's what Donald Trump said. That's what JD Vann said. That's what the Attorney General said. That's what the FBI director said. And now suddenly they want to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Why don't we have a real hearing with real government officials talking about the government and talking about a real investigation with a real problem?
Now, going to the Senate, where there was a confirmation hearing of Mike Waltz, who used to be the national security advisor. Yeah, he's the guy who did the signal chat and invited the reporter from the Atlantic to join that chat and then attack the reporter for infiltrating the chat.
What arguments were made about blue states bailing out red states and federal funding?
And then there was all that classified information and war plans about the attack on the Houthis, which was an unsuccessful attack. Because the Houthis are still operating in the Red Sea right now. But here, Mike Waltz has now been nominated to be the United Nations ambassador, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But even though he was fired, he was kept on the payroll of the White House and he was paid $200,000 a year. So Democratic Senator Rosen said: that seems like waste, fraud, and abuse to me. Me, don't you think? And he was like, I was never fired. I stayed on as a consultant here, play this clip.
This morning it was reported despite being removed from your role as national security advisor in May. Removed from your role, right? Not working. Surprisingly, you've been on the White House payroll for the last few months. So throughout this hearing you've made assertions that if confirmed, you would root out waste and unnecessary overhead at the UN.
