As Democrats are talking about jobs, the economy, education, and things that actually matter to the American people, you have MAGA Republicans fighting with each other heading into the new years. And one MAGA Republican in particular, Tim Burchett, is making a very serious accusation against other MAGA Republicans. Let me play this clip and then let's discuss it. And then I want to show you a more broader pattern here. Play the clip. They love their money more than they do anything else. And they protect it and they protect the people that do that. And by doing so, you know, the old honeypot, the Russians do

that. And I'm sure members of Congress have the old honeypot, the Russians do that. And I'm sure members of Congress have been caught up. Why in the world would good conservatives vote for crazy stuff like what we've been seeing out of Congress? It's that works. You're visiting, you're out of the country or out of town or you're in a motel or bar in D.C. and some whatever you're into, women or men or whatever, comes up and they're very attractive and they're laughing at your jokes and you're buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you're in the motel room with them naked. And next thing you know, you're about to make a key vote. And what happens? Some well-dressed person comes up and whispers in your ear, hey, man, there's tapes out on you. Were you in a motel room on whatever with whoever? And then you're like, oh, and said,

you really ought not be voting for this thing. I mean, you know, what do they do? It's human nature. And, you know, no man or no woman actually is an island. And they know what to get at. You know, if it's women, drugs, booze, it'll find you in D.C. and in most elected offices. And that's what people of power and influence do. And it's just, you know, I've been in this game my whole life. I spent 16 years in the state legislature in Tennessee and eight years as county mayor. And now I'm in my fifth year of Congress. But it's just it the stakes are higher, but the game is still the same. So you see MAGA Republican Tim Burchett of Tennessee state that MAGA Republicans are voting against their conservative values, he says, because they are compromised by Russian hookers.

That is what he's saying. A MAGA Republican congressman accusing other MAGA Republican Congress members of engaging in that behavior. But this is not the first time that Tim Burchett has made statements like this. Let's just take a look at a few others. Here, when Tim Burchett was defending his vote not to expel George Santos, as most of the other MAGA Republicans did the same thing. Here's what Tim Burchett said. Play the clip. Don't you have any concerns about his conduct? I mean, all the allegations, the criminal charges, he's admitted to lying about so much of his life. I mean, why should he be walking around here going to classify briefings and the like?

To say that anybody in Congress can cast stones. I mean, we're a bunch of sinners. And that's basically what we all are. And you see Tim Burchett saying that we're all sinners. George Santos is a sinner. We're all sinners. So why would we vote against George Santos in a situation like that. By the way, here is Tim Burchett on Newsmax discussing a relationship between Nancy Mace and Kevin McCarthy and suggesting that MAGA Republican Nancy Mace has a lot of compromise on the former spineless Speaker of the House, the now-resigned

member of Congress, Kevin McCarthy. Play play this clip he also has 17 million dollars um in an account um that he'll be messing in a lot of people like mine and nancy mace's campaigns i'm sure and so um i don't know if he does that with nancy may she could come back at him with some stuff that he doesn't want out there in the public i think if you know what i'm saying yeah she she's already told me she said i hope he does that with me and um and she'll take care of him she takes care of her own but i you know and as we said on the midas touch network it seems that all these mega republicans are doing right now is just extorting each other with compromise now speaking about nancy mace about half a dozen of her staff members

recently quit saying that she facilitated a very sexually abusive work environment filled with sexual harassment where Nancy Mace would very frequently talk about her sex life in her own congressional office. By the way, here is a prayer breakfast that Nancy Mace spoke at recently, where on her own, she told the crowd the reason she was late was that her fiance was begging her for premarital sex. And she said, later, honey, we'll do it later. Words to that effect. And this is what she's talking about at the prayer breakfast. And there's just kind of silence in the room here. Watch what says play the clip this together another year another standing room only event and when i woke up this morning at seven i was getting picked up at 7 45 patrick my fiance tried to pull me by my waist over this

morning in bed and i was like no baby we don't got time for that this morning. I got to get to the prayer breakfast and I got to be on time and a little TMI. But he can wait. He's got, I'll see him later tonight. But I was here early. Relaxing bathroom trips are great, but dealing with the aftermath, not so much. Wiping only spreads poo around.

And then you have MAGA Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen right here from Oklahoma stating that MAGA Republican Congress member Matt Gaetz would crush erectile dysfunction medication on the House floor, chase it with energy drinks so he could go all night and having sex and that this is what the MAGA Republicans would talk about. Play the

clip. You got to think about this guy. This is a guy that didn't have that the media didn't give a time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. And there's a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him, because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with. He'd brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married. And so when that accusation came out, no one defended him, and then no one on the media would give him a time of the day. All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the Speaker of the House back in November. And he's always stayed there. And

he's not, he was never going to leave until he got this last moment of fame by saying, by going after a motion to vacate. And here is MAGA Republican Matt Gaetz defending George Santos and saying, look, George Santos's behavior and using money that he stole on OnlyFans accounts, that's similar to another Republican colleague of ours, Duncan Hunter, who was stealing money to pay for his sexual escapade. So what's wrong here? That's what Matt Gaetz is saying in the speech here. Listen to this play. It was a procedural double bind that shouldn't be held against Mr. Santos as some sort of adverse inference. Let's also talk about this precedent. The fact pattern as to Mr. Santos is remarkably similar to the fact pattern of former representative Duncan Hunter.

Duncan Hunter used campaign money on girlfriends and trips and home improvements and all sorts of personal lavishes. He was indicted for those crimes and continued to serve in Congress. He pled guilty to a number of those crimes and continued to serve in Congress. He was in Congress for like an additional pay period after having pled guilty to the very same things that were that Mr. Santos has been indicted for. Oh, and then of course you have Lauren Boebert going to a public theater, blowing vape smoke in people's face and engaging in sexual acts with her boyfriend at the time. Oh, and then there's a

recent news story about how the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, Bridget Ziegler, was involved in these sexual trysts and this threesome that turned potentially criminal when her husband, Christian Ziegler, is alleged to have sexually assaulted the woman who was in the threesome. And then there's all these videos right now. Apparently a second video has surfaced between Bridget Ziegler and this other woman who is alleging that a sexual assault took place from Christian Ziegler. Bridget Ziegler sits on the Sarasota school board, and they voted four to one to remove her. She was the one vote not to remove her.

She's refusing to leave the school board. Christian Ziegler is the head of the Republican Party in Florida. And that's the environment you have right there at a local level in Florida. And by the way, here's Madison Cawthorn, who talked about a former member of Congress, former MAGA Republican, former member of Congress. Remember what he was talking about here? Play this clip. Sexual perversion that goes on in Washington. I mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, the average age is probably 60 or 70. And I look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life i always paid attention to politics guys that you know then all

of a sudden you get invited to like well hey we're gonna have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes you should come and i'm like what what did you just ask me to come to and then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy you know uh or the fact that you know there's some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country. And then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it's like, this is wild. And then after a sex tape came out with Madison Cawthorn and his male cousin, he had to record this video and say it was locker room play. Here, play this clip.

Now, this video was just stupid locker room talk between two cousins that grew up like brothers, taken long before I served in Congress. And my cousin, Steven, that they're attacking is my ADA. He's family and he's my best friend. The article published in the tabloid, the Daily Mail, didn't even bother to fact check any of this or send the video to my office before they ran this with misinformation. The media lies. It shouldn't surprise any of us. And then here, there's this video from Donald Trump at a speech he gave recently, where he says that a general came up to him who's seen a lot of war, a lot of battles, a lot of death, and that the general told Donald Trump that the bravest thing that this

general had ever seen is when Donald Trump debated Hillary Clinton and said how in the Access Hollywood videotape where Donald Trump brags about grabbing women by the genitals, that the way that Donald Trump defended his conduct when he was on that audio recording and said it was locker room talk, Donald Trump says that the general said that was the bravest thing the general had ever seen. Play this clip. But I went onto that stage just a few days later and a general who's a fantastic general actually said to me, sir, I've been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I've ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened.

And then that woman asked you the first question about it. And I said, locker room talk. It's locker room talk. What the hell? What are you talking? Locker room talk. That was not a great. And then I'll show you this video right here back in 2022. And this is

Democrat Ted Lieu in this video, who talks about as Democrats are trying to build a better future for the American people. What are Republicans doing? Here, play this clip. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. President Joe Biden has done an awesome job creating jobs. He is a jobs president. Last year, 6.6 million jobs were created. In the last 14 months, working with congressional Democrats, 7.4 million jobs were created, the most in United States history. Democrats are building a better America for the future and for the people. What are Republicans doing? I don't know.

But last week, Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn bragged about being invited to cocaine-fueled sex orgies by senior Republicans. Don't believe me? Search for Madison Cawthorn Republican Caucus on the internet. I yield back. You know, I think it's important that I share those videos with you because as Democrats are talking about actually moving the nation forward, that's what Republicans are engaged in. So I don't want this both sides-ism out there. Oh, both parties have these issues.

And if you go back and you look at what policies were implemented, what laws were signed because of the Democratic-controlled Senate and House of Representatives and President Biden in the White House, you see that Bidenomics is working. That's what I want to talk about. I show you all that other stuff at the beginning House, you see that Bidenomics is working. That's what I want to talk about. And I show you all that other stuff at the beginning to show you the corrosive, destructive, depraved way that the MAGA Republican Party has really kind of just transformed into this kind of Trumpian mutation. But let's talk about some good news here. Here, for example, is a reporter talking about how

things are upbeat right now when it comes to the economy. Here, play this clip. And as the holiday shopping season enters the homestretch, people seem to be feeling pretty jolly about the economy. The Consumer Confidence Index rose to more than 110 points. That's the highest number since July. The data is put together by a nonprofit business group called the Conference Board. And let me show you a guest on Fox talking about consumer confidence. Play the clip. Yeah, well, you know, the consumer confidence report is up. We've got lower gasoline prices. We've seen inflation data come down. And I'll show you this right here from Larry Kudlow and Kevin O'Leary on Fox here. Play this clip. I'm excited, Larry. We got the juice in

printing money. We've got the Fed slowing down. We've got the soft landing. We've got broadening of the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 and obviously the Russell 2000. This is a fantastic holiday season. Rudolph the reindeer has arrived. So those are the types of things that I want to be talking about. But we need to do this compare and contrast right here to fully understand that what's going on in the Republican side right now is not normal. It's not conservative. It's this MAGA mutation. It's all very Trumpian. And I think we need to keep calling it out.
