And I ask the gentlelady to yield for a question. Comments recognized. It's not my time. I ask you to yield. I have reserved. You're free to speak. Yes. I'm asking if you'll yield for a question. Sure. Ask your question. What funds in this bill are used for the purposes you are opposed to.

Sorry, I couldn't hear the gentleman. I was getting clarification. This is precautionary. Precautionary for what? There are sanctuary city policies yes i understand i understand what are that are in place that are allowing the refuge of illegal aliens in these cities and there is an influx in crime and drugs i understand in these cities and there's no there's no way for these folks to even report what is taking place because they are protected under this fake policy that has been created that is subduing the actual rule of law that we have in the Constitution of the United States. I understand that. But what you've said is none of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective.

And that is precautionary. What funds are in this bill to be spent for that objective? I have seen this administration use all sorts of funds to protect illegal aliens. Reclaiming my time, Ms. Colbert. To ensure that it will not be. Reclaiming my time. There are no funds in this bill to do that. So this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important

subject. I understand that. But there are no funds in this bill to accomplish that objective. You don't believe the chairman would put funds in to accomplish that objective, do you? That was Democratic Congress member Steny Hoyer calling out Lauren Boebert, MAGA Republican, for her performative actions, whining about things that have nothing to do with the bill being debated and exposing that she's just seeking attention. I'm Ben Micellis from the Midas Touch Network. What is so interesting about that debate is I think it just demonstrates the difference between

modern-day Democrats and modern-day Republicans, which are full-fledged MAGA. At the end of the day, we could disagree about things, but let's at least address the facts and not just have these performative speeches that are purely intended to divide the country. And there you have Steny Hoyer, the Democrat, just saying, do you know what you're even talking about here? And Lauren Boebert had no clue at all what she was even talking about, what the bill was even about. And to me, that shouldn't be a political party thing. That's why it's such a shame that this is what has become of the Republican Party. Here, by the way,

is Steny Hoyer responding to another MAGA Republican who's saying that we need to be tough on Putin. And then Steny Hoyer says, okay says okay well if you want to be tough on putin why are you supporting donald trump who's putin's buddy play the clip my amendment is an important step toward this goal if you want to get tough on putin stop his energy exports i urge my colleagues to support this measure and bring energy dominance back to the united states i reserve the balance my time gentleman's time has expired. Gentlemen and opposition. I claim time and- Gentlemen's recognized.

If you want to get tough on Putin, don't elect one of his friends president of the United States. Here is Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell calling out MAGA Republican Jim Jordan and saying, this is what Congress member Swalwell put on his Twitter account. He said, I'm happy to be Jim Jordan's online accountability partner because one of the things that MAGA Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, was promoting was an app called Covenant Eyes where accountability partners are given to conduct surveillance on people's social media that they're friends with to ensure they're not looking at sinful conducts. The MAGA Republican Party has become, oh, by the way, MAGA Mike doesn't have a checking account

or a savings account and said it's because he's of limited means. He makes around $200,000 a year. Anyway, take a look at Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell here. Just take Jim Jordan apart. Play the clip. So what I'm concerned about is that we have anti-Semitic posts coming from this committee. And last October, the chairman tweeted out on October 6, Kanye, Elon, Trump. Those five statements that I just read to you were from Kanye West, who had made a number of anti-Semitic statements before this tweet was put up, and then made the death con statement about a day after the tweet was put up. I, the chairman

at the time, Chairman Nadler, many people in the Jewish community asked the chairman, Chairman Jordan, to take this down. And it wasn't just members of Congress. It was nonpartisan Jewish organizations who said, Kanye West is anti-Semitic. I don't know what you're doing, but please do not give him a platform by leaving this tweet up. It stayed up for months. Defiantly, the chairman kept this tweet up. It stayed up for months. Defiantly, the chairman kept this tweet up. So, Mr. Chairman, I want to be just today your accountability partner, your online accountability partner, and just go through your social media. Because if we're going to have a hearing about anti-Semitism,

we can't allow a tweet like this to be posted on our side or your side. In 2019, Chairman Jordan also tweeted at Tom Steyer and used the dollar sign for Steyer to spell his name. Again, known Jewish philanthropist playing into what Ms. Burdett mentioned earlier, tropes about Jewish people and money. So this committee should have a conversation and a hearing about anti-Semitism. But I would first insist that the chairman, I don't know why he put this tweet up, either he believes it, which I hope is not the case, or he just wanted to own the lips. And if that's what you're doing, you're hurting a lot of people by keeping that tweet up for so long, especially knowing what it represents. And if we're talking about being your online accountability partner chairman, you still have a subpoena in your inbox that's about 500 days old. And with that, I'll yield back. And you compare Congress member Swalwell to this is MAGA Republican Matt Gaetz. Here, Matt Gaetz cites Austin Powers. Again, just not serious, not serious people. I

don't know if he thinks this is funny. This is like a shtick. He's doing a not funny standup routine. Here, play this clip. We now recognize the gentleman from Florida, Mr. Gaetz. I want Israel to win and Hamas to lose, but this is not an armed services committee hearing about the military. It's a judiciary hearing about speech. And in that vein, I am reminded of the great words of the philosopher Austin Powers, who said, there's only two things I can't stand, people who are intolerant of other people and the Dutch.

The MAGA Republicans in Congress want to avoid that by imposing a national abortion ban. Play this clip. And some members actually asked, calling for federal action

on abortion to force Republicans to talk about a federal legislation. That's what J.D. Vance, who comes from the state of Ohio, the senator from that state, after seeing voters there constitutionalize abortion rights, saying that Congress should act. Great speech on the floor by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, play the clip. For everyday Americans, House Democrats are all about putting people over politics, fighting for things like lower costs, growing the middle class, safer communities, things that will make a difference, solve problems in the lives of everyday Americans. And part of the challenge that we face is that the extreme MAGA Republican agenda

continues to be focused on the wrong things. Extreme MAGA Republican agenda focused on defaulting on America's debt, shutting down the government, crashing the economy, criminalizing reproductive freedom, cutting Social Security and Medicare, impeaching President Biden, and doing nothing to deal with affordability issues or improving the quality of life of everyday Americans. That's a shame. And so, yes, we're going to continue to oppose Republican efforts to criminalize abortion care now, tomorrow, next month, next year and forever. Until this effort to take away reproductive freedom is buried in the ground, never to rise again. I yield back. Here is MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene attacking Republicans. Play this clip.

Republican voters across the country are sick and tired of Republicans because they never do anything. Republicans go out on the campaign trail and go on TV and do their five minute hearing videos and post up on social media and say all this garbage. I feel like many of the American people that think that Republicans in Congress completely fail them. I feel the same way. And I'm a Republican member of Congress. No, and here's the thing. These MAGAs are not Republicans anymore. I mean, by the way, I'm not sure if you saw this, but Donald Trump started attacking all of the other Republicans. He calls them the access of idiots. He went after DeSantis and McConnell, says they're the access of idiots and blamed them why Republicans got destroyed on the November 7th elections when it's actually him. People are rejecting his extremism right there. And then I showed you that clip of Marjorie Taylor Greene. Let me show you this clip right here. I haven't shown a clip of Democratic Congress member Mike Quigley yet,

so welcome to the Midas Touch podcast, Congress member Quigley. Marjorie Taylor Greene, I'm not even going to show the clip. It's so horrible. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced an amendment to remove the salary of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg because he's gay. How horrible can you be as a human being to do such a thing? And here, Mike Quigley explained that Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced an amendment to lower Secretary of Pete Buttigieg's salary to $1 because she doesn't like that he's gay. It's homophobia and a waste of Congress's time. We should be addressing issues Americans care about, not trying to score political points. Play this clip. I'm not sure whether this argument is worthy of the dignity of this house,

that people who take the highest level of government function, cabinet level positions, and again, you can disagree with them, Mr. Chairman, all you want, but to make this so personal and take their orientation to task because you personally don't like the other people or their orientation when it's absolutely none of your business? Where has the Republican Party gone? Where has it come from a party that said, we're going to let people live their lives. We're not going to intrude on them at all. We're going to let people live their lives. We're not going to intrude on them at all. We're going to let them live personally. And the worst thing government can do is inflict their own beliefs upon them. It's exactly what the toxic atmosphere of language like we just heard is all

about. You know, when I watched the clip of Steny Hoyer and Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Quigley and Congress member Eric Swalwell, what I think to my, and then I compare it to like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz. The way I think about it, I'd love to hear how you think about it. I think about if I was going to have a dinner party at my house, who would I want at the table? And the point of it is, who do we want to just hang out with? And to, especially when we're empowering them to make decisions over us.

But when we're with these people, I don't want extremists saying hateful things and weird things and mean things and bullying. What is that? What is that? And I truly feel that November 7thth america by and large was just like yeah like that's not what our country is we're not marjorie tallagree we're not lauren bobert we're not donald trump and i'll just play this last clip even though it's not on the house floor here's here's donald trump um a recording of him saying that he will pardon all january 6th

insurrectionists play this clip there'll be a lot of pardons and commutations of people that you think were treated unfairly, J6 defendants, January 6th defendants under an administration, your administration. Yes, absolutely. So there you have it, folks. Let me know how you feel in the comments below. I feel momentum. I really do. I feel that America's sick and tired of MAGA extremism. I really do.
