MeidasTouch: All HELL BREAKS LOOSE in GOP Hearings on LIVE TV PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX3aXguNONI Peter Burgess COMMENTARY For years I have tried to engage with both Democrats and Republicans in the political world. Over time this has been increasingly difficult .. mainly because Repubicans seem to have lost any appreciation of what needs to be legislated for the benefit of 'real people'. I am not sure why this is ... but I suspect a part of this is because many Republicans hodling political office are far too comfortable with their status quo and do not want to 'rock their boat'. Democrats are not much better. They seem more comfortable fighting amongst themselves than trying to progress a deeply progressive agenda which unites the party. It should come as not surprise that I am a supporter of Senator Bernie Sandders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes. I am doing my best to compile a list of the politicans ... Democrats ... that are doing meaningful work to address the terrible situation that Trump os enabling. This is not easy, bu it is vital! Peter Burgess

8:01 and get hooked up today That's true.com/midus meas And wow this was quite the moment where you had GOP representative Mike Turner trying to help out Hegsith by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not have plans to invade Greenland But apparently they do have plans to engra to invade Greenland Play this clip You know lawyer here I just want to help you out because people try to uh to you know twist your words Uh you are not confirming in your testimony today that the that at the Pentagon there are plans uh that for invading uh or taking by force Greenland Correct That is not your testimony today All my testimony is is that the Pentagon has plans for any number of cont It is not your testimony today that there are plans at the Pentagon for taking by force or invading Greenland Correct Because I sure as hell hope that that it 9:00 is not your testimony We look forward to working with Greenland to ensure that it is secured uh from any potential threats Excellent I am back Uh you have more uh issues where the MAGA Republicans uh tell Pritsker that women don't want him in their bathrooms Play this clip I'm asking you have you ever considered that women don't want you in their bathrooms that that's a private space that they they don't want you or any other man in congressman let's talk about your failure to normal people If you want to take medic should be in women's restaurants and very straightforward question You apparently want people and you're encouraging men to use women's restaurants where there could be underage girls Do you think that's appropriate sir if we're going to Let's talk about what you're doing to people in normal by virtue of your votes Let's move on President Trump and you have Democratic Congress member Carbajal uh to Hegsith over here saying that you're an embarrassment to the country Play 10:00 this clip You know what i'm not going to waste my time anymore You're not worthy of my attention or my questions You're an embarrassment to this country You're unfit to lead And there's been bipartisan members of Congress that have called for your resignation You should just get the hell out and let somebody comp competently lead this department Here we have Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Let's play it to that I know that there's been some conversations about what's going on in LA and they want to say that it's riots because they didn't want people to keep talking about say the Epstein files or whatever other drama was popping off between the president and his little friend So they wanted to change the conversation to immigration because they feel like well the polling is in our benefit But let me tell you something If they cared about making sure we were gonna be fiscally responsible they would tell the American people that it cost them $134 million to send the National Guard to LA for the 11:01 quote unquote riots that the governor didn't ask for nor did the mayor of LA ask for And they sent them over there and they say that they care about our service members Yet they sent them and they were laying on the floor They did not provide for food So I don't know why we would believe that number one they want to fix this They don't want to fix this because the brokenness is a feature not a flaw of the system because it is beneficial to them when it comes to campaigning If they can't stoke fear then why are they going to say have anybody vote for them because that's what people are doing They're voting out of fear Then we have Democratic Congress member Smith to Hegsith play this clip Yeah And I'm sincerely concerned about this Is it the policy of the Department of Defense that we need to be prepared to take Greenland and Panama by force if necessary is this a policy that you have within the Department of Defense in accordance with the president's wishes i heard uh what you said about th those 12:01 two countries and saying we need to worry about China Well we are worried about China That wasn't my concern China's malign influence in Panama recogn another sovereign country's territory We should pay attention to that Right So Panama is very key terrain that we've focused on and we've been willing to focus on his green should take it by military force They're important I'm not going to argue with that The Arctic is working our military to take it by force Our job at the DoD is to have plans Do you have a plan for that we're our job at the Defense Department is to have plans for any particular contingency including the contingency of basically any contingency you need we've got it We got a building full of planners and we're prepared to give recommendations whenever needed So just be clear you you do you you have plans to take Panama and Greenland by force if necessary I think the American people would want the Pentagon to have plans for any particular contingency Thankfully we are 13:00 in the planning business Speaking on behalf of the American people I don't think the American people voted for President Trump because they were hoping we would invade Greenland I'm going to go out on a limb on that one I yield back Governor Tim Walls from Minnesota was in attendance Here was AOCC's uh questioning with him Play this clip Have to say I know you're getting a lot of grief uh from the majority here But you know this we are talking about individuals who have cheered on an individual who issued a Nazi salute from behind the presidential seal of the United States of America who have cheered on the pardoning of individuals who attacked the United States capital and flew a Nazi flag and the flag of the Confederacy traitors to the United States sworn enemies of the United States of America through the capital of this nation and now they want to act 14:02 offended because someone has the courage to say if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck maybe it's a duck So I want to thank you for not wavering to their bullying which is unconscionable and sad to see So I just wanted to let you know that Governor Thank you Thank you Congresswoman More of Pritsker and MAGA Republican Perry play this clip Just can you cite which laws he's which law in this regard he's broken well there have been congressionally approved appropriations that this president has cut off and we've had to go to court That That's illegal We've had to go to court to have it uh reinstated It's illegal If you have to go to court it's illegal and it's still working its way through the courts right yes But things have been ruled on already It's not 15:00 illegal Yeah It's your opinion But regarding regarding a judge when a judge rules on it that's that's the law Okay It's the law at that moment until the next judge rules on it Okay Right Because you judge and you're the attorney here I'm not But you're not saying he broke the law regarding the riots in in in Los Angeles right now Or are you saying that that hasn't been ruled upon yet So but are you saying the answer is I believe he did but that is not what I'm referring to Okay You're not referring And again while all of this was going down you had uh Democratic California Senator Alex Padilla getting tackled and thrown to the floor by the Trump Gestapo Play this clip Sir sir hands up Hands up I'm Senator Alex Padilla I have question for the secretary because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your I also 16:02 have [Music] the ground on the ground Hands behind your back Hands behind your back If you don't my hands go behind my back All right cool One hand Lay flat Lay flat Other hand sir Other hand [Music] There's no recording allowed out here I do not know There's no recording allowed out here per FBI rights for the building For what i'm sorry There's no recording here That's my boss There's no recording You can record There's no recording I'm not a member There's no recording I understand that You have Democratic Congresswoman Ansari Here's what she says Mr Perry just mocked us for referring to Donald Trump as a dictator So let's let's run through the list Donald Trump has since he was inaugurated pardoned violent January 6 17:02 insurrectionist Dictator defied Supreme Court orders and attacked the judiciary Dictator Unilateral unilaterally abolished congressionally chartered federal agencies Dictator attacked the free press Sounds like a dictator Kidnapped people off of the streets and deported them to foreign prisons without due process Sounds like a dictator Defunded higher education Dictator Threatened law firms and the legal profession Dictator This weekend he is spending tens of millions of dollars to host a massive military parade for his birthday Is that like is this North Korea on top of all of that our twice impeached president with a 34count convicted felony president who is not a king has deployed the active duty military in American cities and he has spent $134 million to do so He has their guns trained on American citizens without the consent of local authorities or the state's governor to purposefully generate chaos and provoke a reaction Meanwhile we have Republicans on this side of the aisle asking governors of states about bathrooms Like this is the most dystopian horrific episode of Black Mirror that I have ever seen To our W Here's another clip of AOC Apologies I just have 10 seconds left But when they say illegal versus legal immigration they are trying to end legal status in the United States as well Correct Governor Prrisker with the end of TPS and making people undocumented by removing legal status ending legal status and then having the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented Correct Taking students visas away from people taking their legal 19:00 right to be in the United States away 19:01 from them when they've been granted 19:03 maybe years earlier to stay So I don't want to hear about how this is about illegal versus legal immigration They are attacking legal status and removing legal status The Republican majority is anti-legal immigration in the United States I want to make that very clear and I yield back Another clip of Democratic Congresswoman I'm sorry Mr Chairman I'd like to finish the title of the article that I was trying to read into unanimous consent Okay Stunning Senator Alex Padilla California was just forcefully removed from the news conference being held by DHS Christy Gnome in Westwood Senator attempted to interrupt the title He was handcuffed in the hallway Yes Thank you Mr Chairman For the record he rushed the the podium He was being disruptive and that is not conducive to a senator Ground and arrest order Chair recognize Mr Men from California And then over here you have Christy Gnome saying that 20:02 uh Alex Padilla was not actually detained and he was not cuffed as soon as he identified himself which is false Play this clip them secretary Well he was never arrested He was never arrested and he um nobody knew who he was when he came into the room creating a scene He was removed from the room and yes they started to put handcuffs on him when he finally identified himself and then that was stopped Uh and we then I he they said he wants to talk to you I said 'Sure I'd love to sit down and visit.' So we So that's what's happening on Capitol Hill right now It's a mess It is a Trump mess and madness And let's be clear it's not a both sides thing It's these MAGAs who are not normal Republicans although the Republicans have now become all MAGA Chaos destruction fascism It's all right there Hit subscribe Let's get to 5 million subscribers Can't get enough Midas check out the Midas Plus substack for ad free articles reports podcasts daily recaps 21:02 from Ron Philipski and more Sign up for free now at midasplus.com [Music]
