TRUMP TRUMP SUPPORTERS ... OUCH! Anny Pereira: Congress ERUPTS as Brave Congresswoman gets up and HUMILIATES AOC with EPIC SPEECH ... OUCH / REALLY! PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-PmslDfcBM Peter Burgess COMMENTARY This video post is a very pathetic attempt at a 'put-down' of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the unlikely Democrat representative from New York. I have been a follower and a supporter of AOC's political journey. Though we differ by around half a century in age, AOC is more like what I want to be in political terms than most other political actors. I have a lot more positive things to say about AOC ... but it will have to wait to another time! The 'Brave Congresswoman' referenced here is Representative Lauren Boebert from Colorado. I am sorry ... but Congresswoman Boebert reflects a lot of what is wrong with America. The fact that she got elected to political office reflects very badly on the people of America and the political process that is being used It comes as no surprise that Boebert is opposed to AOC! AOC has a lot of integrity and worked to get a good education. AOC stands for something and is a responsible representative of the people in her constituency! I cannot say any of these things about Boebert! Peter Burgess

Gets up and HUMILIATES AOC with EPIC SPEECH Transcript 0:00 thank you so much Congressman korne I am so excited for your leadership on this issue tonight thank you for making time to address the American people Mr Speaker there are three people who come to mind when I think of people who cannot even give their money away Alexandria kazia Cortez do you remember when her donations were returned to her by members of Congress because they don't want to be associated with her Harvey Weinstein and Joe Biden those three cannot even give money away in fact by July 3rd 25 States Across America will have rejected President Biden's federal unemployment benefit bonuses I meet with organizations every day that request funds for worthwhile Endeavors sadly America is$ 28 trillion in debt and can't afford to spend the money on many of these Worthy the causes but leave it 1:02 to Joe Biden to try to spend money in a way that actually hurts our economy and is rejected by Republican and Democrat Governors across our entire country that's a special level of basement incompetency we've got 9.3 million unfilled jobs and I hear it back home businesses can't get people back to work because they are making more to sit at home on the couch they would rather watch Dave pornoy eat a slice of pizza but then again maybe that's not his viewers maybe it's more of the folks sitting back watching joy bayart and the view cackle and demonize our country and all of our worthwhile efforts to restore dignity in this nation the Biden regime is literally incentivizing laziness but then again they set that example on a regular basis Calling it 2:00 Quits in the middle of the day when's the last time the president hasn't called a lid before his afternoon snack in my home state of Colorado many corporations are offering bonuses that small businesses can't afford we're seeing massive signing bonuses from 10,000 to 30,000 for utility and HVAC workers and that's simply unsustainable according to the Colorado Restaurant Association more than 90% of restaurants are having issues finding workers I'm one of them I've had employees say I cannot work more than 2 days a week I cannot exceed 12 hours of work because it will cut in to my benefits that is UN American Joe Biden is quickly becoming the greatest threat to small businesses since fouchy fraud while small businesses across my district Across America are struggling to find workers struggling to stay open Joe Biden is struggling to stay awake 3:00 I'm calling on this Administration to end these excessive Federal covid payouts and stop de incentify work Madison cauthorne Congressman thank you for your leadership on this issue and Mr Speaker I Yi they are accusing Democrats of saying we spend too much for anyone that wants to entertain that thought I ask you to think about the last time a person said has said in this country that the the government does too much for them that their social security check was too high that teachers are paid too much when was the last time anyone has heard or seen that another quote uh President Biden already lowered the deficit by $1.7 trillion they say his budget would cut the deficit by another three trillion by eliminating wasteful spending on Big Oil and Pharma we're told but it is in in 4:00 fact our Democratic colleagues who prefer to maintain their massive subsidies for the elites and the wealthy in their so-called inflation reduction act just last year my friend from New York Mr Casio Cortez said quote I ask you think about the last time a person has said in this country that the government does too much for them them when was the last time anyone has heard or seen that I'll say it I'll say it right here I don't want the government doing most of the things that the government is doing to interfere with the ability of the American people to carry out their lives federal state and local when was the last time you had a bureaucrat show up and you said oh joy thank you I'm really glad there's a bureaucrat here 5:00 when was the last time you were thankful for $32 trillion in debt $100,000 almost for every man woman and child in America anybody thankful for $32 trillion in debt anybody anybody thankful for a border that's wide open being exploited by cartels while fentel comes in and KS kills our children everybody thankful for that Department of Homeland Security that doesn't actually secure the Homeland everybody thankful for an FBI that went after Scott Smith and labeled him a domestic terrorist for daring to defend his daughter in a school board meeting because she was assaulted in a bathroom anybody thankful for the IRS knocking on your door auditing the poor and the minorities three to five times more people thankful for that are you thankful for the EPA or the department of interior that sent a man to prison because he had some ponds on his Ranch in Montana we have a government that is weaponized against the American people and is undermining our liberties and 6:02 they want more of it my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want more more government they want more taxes they want more spending they want more the gentlewoman from New York M Ocasio Cortez is now recognized for five minutes thank you madam chair and thank you to all of our Witnesses who are here testifying today um I want to dive a little bit into uh the paycheck Protection Program in a bit of what we've seen afterwards I have uh one of uh three reports here that I'd like to present today a Forbes report um detailing uh some of the revenues that banks have made um during the paycheck Protection Program um and also digging into a little bit of the fact that when it comes to loan forgiveness small business administration uh recently attempted to or recently opened a portal for small business owners to appeal directly with them for for forgiveness 7:00 um Chase Bank of America and PNC have opted out of that direct program is that correct Mr DCH Mr Diamond and um Mr Mahan I believe so yeah I'm not aware of it I'm not a I'm not aware of the answer okay so um for your awareness uh your banks have opted out of paycheck Protection Program forgiveness um and uh excuse me that that that is incorrect it with with the with the portal with the SBA thank you I'm was trying to finish my sentence um now I would like to uh zero in a little bit on Bank of America Mr moan are you aware of how many PPP loans uh your bank has facilitated on behalf of its customers about uh 400 almost 500,000 and 95% are forgiven are repaid already and we're finish up the rest of them how how many of those 8:01 loans in terms of the percentage have those loans been forgiven in full as opposed to in part the ones are forgiven are mostly vast vast majority be forgiven in full in full um what we're starting to see here with some reporting in the intercept and this is just one reason why I was curious about the numbers um is that we're starting to see that Bank of America is refusing to forgive some PPP loans in full um but in terms of the portal that Bank of America set up it's very difficult to appeal these decisions and in fact what we're seeing is that uh Bank of America had prepopulated um a forgiveness amount in their portal sometimes drastically lower than um than small business owners had anticipated and had qualified for and in instances where these small business owners have documentation um there's very little recourse or 9:02 appeal uh does your portal make it easy to appeal their decisions so that after two attempts the SBA can then take over the case borrowers can appeal 95% of the loans are forgiven repaid today so we're only talking about 5% of the loans and a substantial part of those are going through the appeal process we speak and so the bars can appeal and we're in a process of finishing up that last 20,000 or so loans it's it's it's it's a small amount of loans and their finishing and to certify that that 95% is a full forgiveness amount percent forgiveness repayment some of them full forgiveness not partial the vast majority of full forgiveness but I can get the data to you so is the 90 I apologize not to you know belabor the point but is at 95% a partial loan forgiveness or a full loan forgiveness rate they're getting what the borrowers are applying for the Forgiveness entitle in the program 95% of them have gone through or repaid and 10:01 the vast majority of them are full forgiveness but they're entitled to what the program designed the government designed a program and we implement the program very short notice a half million people 10,000 people working on this program and Easter weekend working on the program to help those borrowers at the time and so we're finishing that up if it's just just let the process go and a lot of what you're reading frankly is not the facts because it's old it doesn't understand how the how the math works and so just give us some time we'll give you the facts and you'll it's um what is the reason that Bank of America chose to opt out of the SBA portal I can get somebody to give you that I have no idea of of whether I told you before I'm not sure we did or didn't and I have no idea why they would have made the decision but we are processing loans as fast as anybody okay and um I'm I'm sorry I'm just uh having a a tough time this is about $25.2 billion in loan 11:00 amounts in your bank correct and not anymore no it's down there but at at one point in time and so we are looking and so we're you're uncertain as to why the bank has not chosen to uh enroll in the SBA portal I I said we will get you the information that the amount of loans we have down left on this thing is a a billion or so it's down to very little amount worries it's all paid back it's all through the team did a great job and we're happy to supply information to you need right we look forward to it thank you very much uh this girl aasia Cortez or whatever she is I mean she's in a totally different Universe it's basically it's basically socialism wrapped in ignorance well this story has gained some traction Congressman Ronda Sanders out of Florida running for governor in Florida in fact slamming the New York Congressional candidate Alexandri oio Cortez that remark leading to a fiery response from her and some others on the left and Congressman Ronda 12:00 santis is with me now from the hill how are you sir and good morning to you thanks for spending time with us uh we should know that we have repeatedly reached out to acasio Cortez and we hope she will take us up on her invitation where's this going because the comment on tape that seemed to catch fire was this girl or whatever she is well so it's not about identity politics bill and I would note she referred to herself as a girl from the Bronx on Steven coar show said Trump can't handle a girl from the Bronx so this just political correctness run a muuk but it's a way to obscure scrutiny on her views which are socialists and they're rapped in ignorance in Florida Bill we have more people probably than any other state who have fled socialism places like Cuba Venezuela Nicaragua we understand socialism doesn't work and when you're justifying it by saying that the unemployment rate's low cuz people are working multiple jobs it just shows you don't know what you're talking about but one of the reasons I brought that up in that campaign stop was because she had been slamming Israel repeatedly throughout her campaign but she was 13:08 talking about the Israeli occupation of Palestine but there's no Palestinian State there never has been a Palestinian State she was asked to justify those views and she couldn't justify her views so if you're slamming one of our strongest allies and you're doing it based on really no knowledge whatsoever I think the socialism and the ignorance is a toxic combination we've been waiting to get you on I appreciate you coming on today and responding to that now respond to this okay cuz her tweet to you was the following representative of santis it seems you're confused as to whatever I am I'm a Puerto Rican woman it's strange you don't know what that is given that 75,000 Puerto Ricans have relocated to Florida in the 10 months since Maria meaning the hurricane but I'm sure these new Florida voters appreciate your comments and tweet react to that again she's trying to play identity politics I don't care whether she's Puerto Rican whether she's Anglo-Saxon I don't care whether she's 14:01 an Eskimo socialism doesn't work and it's wrong and you know what I would say there's probably a stronger aversion of socialism among some of our Hispanic populations in Florida than even the broader population and so she's trying to make it about very interesting debate here what do you think it says about the overall Democratic message and the reason I asked you is that she campaigned with Bernie Sanders over the weekend and the places where they went were very interesting it was St leis Missouri Kansas City Witchita Kansas what do they see in these parts of the country well look I don't think that they represent nearly a majority I mean if you're running on failed socialist policies you're going to lead a Nicholas Maduro wing for the Democratic party good luck for that we know that that won't work um I think that you have an energized left wing but I do think it is true bill that's where all the energy is in the Democratic party now the chairman of the whole party said that she is the 15:00 wave of the future so you're looking at lower standard of living potentially if she had her way bigger government anti-israel views I just think that that's not what the majority of the American people want I did not expect you to say that was a good thing or good policy but do you think they can win on that no not not in certainly not in Florida she may be able to win in her district there uh but that's not representative of the country as a whole and uh I just think that our unemployment rate is under four right now we got more work to do don't get me wrong but the idea that you're going to go down the road that has failed time and time again just makes no sense to me thank you for coming on we hope she takes up our invitation
