0:00At HCF, we're not for profit.
0:02So what are we for?
0:03Put simply, we're not for paying out our profits to shareholders.
0:07We are for paying benefits above the industry average per premium dollar.
0:11We put our money where our members are at HCF.
0:15Welcome back, Republicans, to the House of Representatives.
0:18You remember that's the place where you're supposed to work when you're elected to Congress.
0:24I know you've been taking vacations at Mar -a -Lago or in Doral while the
0:29American people are suffering right now as Americans can't afford homes while an unlawful war
0:35is being waged in Iran while people are being screwed over here in the United
0:39States by Trump and his Epstein class.
0:42But time to get back to work, MAGA Republicans.
0:46And boy, oh boy, did MAGA Republicans get a rude awakening on the House floor
0:51when they tested out their Mar -a -Lago talking points and Democrats just let them
0:58have it. This is what happens when you become so disconnected from the people, when
1:03you're hanging out with Donald Trump talking about which type of marble or onyx do
1:08you want in the golden ballroom versus how can we deliver healthcare to the American
1:14people? How can we help people get great educations?
1:17How can we help people get jobs with dignity where they can afford homes?
1:21Yeah, that ain't what you're talking about at the Mar -a -Lago Country Club, is
1:25it? So watch what goes down where you have people like MAGA Republican Congresswoman Virginia
1:31Fox. And she's like, I hear a lot of Democrats talking about the fact that
1:37wealthy people don't pay all that much taxes.
1:40But when you think about it, it's really the working class people who are screwing
1:46us all over because on the whole, they pay less taxes than the wealthy people.
1:52Even when we give the wealthy people loopholes, they still end up paying more.
1:56So it's the workers who are really the ones getting rich and making off like
2:01bandits. If you're like, Ben, you're telling me a MAGA Republicans basically saying that.
2:07And I'm telling you, it's a MAGA Republican.
2:10And I'll say, play the dang clip.
2:13Let's play it. I wasn't going to say anything during one minutes today.
2:18But I really get irritated when people stand up on this floor and tell half
2:25-truths to the American people.
2:27One of our colleagues just talked talked about the fact that wealthy people pay small
2:34percentages of their income on taxes.
2:38But what he didn't say is they pay over 50 % of all the taxes
2:42paid in this country and that working class people don't pay nearly as much as
2:49they do. So don't buy the empty rhetoric of congressional Democrats.
2:54Oh, there you have it.
2:56And then MAGA Republican, Virginia Fox is like, look, look, look.
3:00Okay. I understand it. Yeah.
3:02Gas jumped a little bit in the last month.
3:05You know, we're in a war right now, but you know what?
3:08It is half the price, right?
3:11Or maybe even less than half the price now as when Biden was in office,
3:16wasn't it? No. I think Biden, when Biden left, the average was $3 .11.
3:22Now it's a approaching $4.
3:24You just can't make up everything and attack Biden in every one of your sentences.
3:29Donald Trump's in office. Right now, things are far less affordable.
3:33Under Biden, things were being brought under control based on the mess and massacre Donald
3:39Trump left the first time.
3:41In any event, here's MAGA Republican, Virginia Fox.
3:44Here, play this clip. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
3:49I will point out to my colleague that, yes, gas jumped in the last month,
3:56but it's still a lot less expensive than it was under President Biden.
4:03Thankfully, under President Trump, gas prices were cut almost in half.
4:09Let's talk about Democratic Congress member McGovern, because when he gets on that House floor,
4:16it's like watching an all -star basketball player in their prime slam dunk on these
4:25MAGA fools. So McGovern hears what Virginia Fox is saying, and he's like, really?
4:30Those are the talking points you're going with?
4:33And so he goes, I heard the gentle lady, Ms.
4:37Fox, Congresswoman Fox, I heard her speech saying that these tax cuts for the rich
4:44are really actually unfair for the rich because they still pay more and that the
4:49workers are the ones who are screwing over everybody.
4:53Watch what Congress member, Democratic Congress member McGovern says.
4:56Here, play this clip. And I heard the gentle lady's one -minute speech before we
5:03got into this debate in which she kind of defended the tax cuts for the
5:06rich and basically said we don't, you know, we have a spending problem in this
5:10country. Okay? We have a spending problem.
5:13We're spending a billion dollars a day on a reckless illegal war in Iran, and
5:18nobody on the other side seems to give a damn about that.
5:22We don't have money to help make sure that we can lower energy costs for
5:27senior citizens. We don't have money to make sure our kids get nutritious breakfasts and
5:33lunches in schools. You know, we don't have money for anything.
5:37Child care, elder care, for our veterans, for our health care in general.
5:41We're told we don't have the money.
5:42But no debate, no, no, no concern about a billion dollars a day on Iran.
5:51Come on. I mean, enough is enough.
5:56The point, the focus of Congress, the focus of government should be about helping people,
6:04not screwing them over, not hurting them.
6:07And he's not done yet.
6:09He goes, okay. I also heard her say that under Donald Trump, we're doing better
6:14than Biden in terms of gas prices.
6:17I have a little something, Virginia Fox, you may want to know about.
6:22It's called facts. You want to hear them?
6:24Here, watch this. Let's play it.
6:26You know, she said that, you know, that Trump is doing better than Biden in
6:31terms of gas prices. Well, when Biden left office, the average gallon of gas was
6:37$3 .11. It's now close to $3 .80.
6:42It's creeping up nearly $4.
6:44I mean, that's just the reality.
6:46You can, people can Google that.
6:47Don't, don't take my word for it.
6:49You can, you can Google it.
6:50And the, and the fact, the other fact is that I remember correctly, Donald Trump
6:55said that when he became president, he and Republicans were lower costs on day one,
7:00everything would go down. What a crock.
7:04Everything's gone up. Everything is skyrocketed.
7:07Every gas, you know, the rent, price of food, everything has gone way up.
7:13More from Congress member McGovern right here.
7:16And he's like, you know what?
7:18Come down here. Donald, golden ballroom, Mar -a -Lago, Epstein class, grotesque, vile creatures.
7:27He doesn't say that I said that, but he meant that.
7:30Come here and let's speak.
7:32Speak to your constituents. Explain why Donald Trump, Mega Mike, you chicken.
7:39Come here, Mega Mike, buck, buck, Mega Mike.
7:41Come here on the house floor and explain to your constituents why it is that
7:45Donald Trump right now is doing fundraisers with photos of the dignified transfer in Dover,
7:51Delaware with Trump wearing a campaign hat.
7:54He refused to take off his hat, his cap during the dignified transfer.
8:00And now we learned why he wanted photos of himself wearing the campaign merch that
8:05he can sell in ads to raise money off of.
8:08So, Mega Mike, why don't you, why don't we, why don't we do what they
8:12do in Parliament in Canada or in the UK?
8:15But in Canada, it's pretty, you know, it's pretty aggressive.
8:17I like what they do in Canada.
8:19Go show up like in the House of Commons and duke it out.
8:22But these Magas are too scared to do that.
8:25Here, play this clip. They said they would tell the truth.
8:28Instead, they protect the Epstein elites and peddle distraction after distraction after distraction, hoping it'll
8:36all go away. And at the center of it all is a president so hollow,
8:44so unwell, and so morally lost that he is fundraising off of dead American troops.
8:51I can't believe I'm saying that sentence out loud.
8:55The president of the United States went to a dignified transfer of remain ceremony.
9:01He refused to take off his ball cap.
9:04And then he took a photo of himself standing behind an American service member coming
9:10home from war in the Middle East in a casket.
9:13And he slapped it on a fundraising email asking people to donate money to his
9:19campaign. Let me say that again.
9:22The president used a dead American service member as a photo op for his campaign
9:28fundraising. And when he was asked about it yesterday, he said he saw nothing wrong
9:33with that. Can you imagine if Bill Clinton had done that, or Barack Obama, or
9:39Joe Biden? My Republican colleagues, you know, their heads would explode.
9:44You know, and that's what happened after Joe Biden checked his watch during one of
9:50these ceremonies. Yet not a word after this disrespectful president dishonored our troops in the
9:58most outrageous way by using them as a prop for his own personal benefit.
10:02I challenge any Republican, any single one, to come down here and defend this.
10:08Come down here and explain to your constituents why the leader of your party is
10:13fundraising off of dead American service members.
10:15I think it is one of the most disrespectful, inappropriate, awful things I have ever,
10:22ever seen in all my time in Congress.
10:26And I doubt a single Republican will have the guts to say it was wrong.
10:30The American people deserve a hell of a lot better than this chaos and cruelty.
10:36And they deserve a better, they deserve better than this president.
10:39They deserve better than this Republican majority.
10:42They deserve elected officials who care about them, who want to fight to lower the
10:47cost of living, who want to make their lives better and easier and more manageable.
10:53That's not what's happening here.
10:55I mean, with all that is going on, you know, a billion dollars a day
10:59on a reckless, illegal war in Iran, gas prices creeping up to nearly $4 a
11:06gallon. The price of groceries going up because of these stupid tariffs that my friends
11:11don't want to deal with.
11:13I go on and on and on about how the Republican policies are making life
11:18more miserable for average Americans.
11:20With all that's going on, they can't be bothered to come down here.
11:23I urge a no vote on this rule.
11:26And with that, I yield back my time.
11:28The gentleman yields, members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president.
11:35Magic spoon is basically the grownup version of your favorite childhood cereals.
11:39It's that same fun taste, but none of the sugar bomb, high protein, zero sugar
11:44cereal that still hits that nostalgic Saturday morning note.
11:48Like I said, magic spoon is nostalgic.
11:50It tastes like the classics you grew up with, but without the sugar crash.
11:54Each serving packs 13 grams of protein, five grams net carbs, and zero grams of
11:59sugar. So it actually keeps you fueled any time of the day, breakfast, late night
12:04snack, post -workout, whenever. They've got a bunch of classic flavors like fruity, frosted, hot
12:10chocolate, cinnamon toast, and more.
12:12That cinnamon toast, that one's my favorite.
12:15New flavors launching in January include classic marshmallow.
12:19That's reminiscent of a certain childhood favorite enjoyed by all.
12:22And s'mores, the ultimate campfire inspired cereal.
12:25Those both include real marshmallows and have two grams of sugar, as opposed to zero
12:30grams in the original cereal, but I'm cool to make that exception.
12:33Magic spoon also has magic spoon treats.
12:36These magic spoon treats are crispy, airy, protein packed snack bars with 12 grams of
12:41protein. Great for tossing in your bag, keeping in the car, or grabbing between meetings.
12:46Flavors include marshmallow, chocolate peanut butter, dark chocolate, and more.
12:50These feel like a treat, but actually function like a protein bar.
12:54So they scratch the sweet tooth itch without all the sugar.
12:57And last, but certainly not least, there's magic spoon granola.
13:0113 grams of protein, zero added sugar, perfect for yogurt bowls or a quick handful
13:07snacking. Comes in dark chocolate almond, honey almond, peanut butter, and additional flavors.

13:31More from Congress member McGovern here talking about just the sheer amount of money that
13:36Donald Trump is burning through.
13:39Here, play this clip. But they're not talking about any of that.
13:44They keep bringing distraction after distraction to the House floor.
13:48Bills meant to waste time.
13:50Divide people. and shift the blame from billionaires onto immigrants.
13:56That's their whole playbook. Don't look over here at Epstein elites and billionaire corporations who
14:01are ripping us off, breaking the law, and getting away with it.
14:05No, no, no. Blame the immigrants.
14:07Hey, blame trans kids. Blame Joe Biden.
14:09Blame everybody but the president and his billionaire buddies.
14:13It's getting old. And I, for one, am sick and tired of it.
14:17This president and my friends on the other side who are refusing to rein him
14:22in because they're all afraid of him is burning a billion dollars a day of
14:27American taxpayer money on a war halfway around the world.
14:30One billion dollars a day.
14:34Let me repeat that. One billion dollars a day.
14:38No money, no more money to help seniors eat their homes.
14:41They say we don't have it.
14:43No money to help kids get healthy breakfast in school.
14:46No money to restore SNAP benefits to help seniors and veterans afford groceries.
14:52No more money to help working families breathe easier or sleep better at night.
14:56I'm just sick and tired of this, Mr.
14:58Speaker. There's always money for war.
15:01There's always money for another tax break for multimillionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations.
15:08There's always time to debate silly bills that try to shift the blame onto immigrants
15:14and trans kids. But there's never the time.
15:17There's never the time or the money to address the real and pressing issues that
15:23the American people are begging, begging Republicans to help them with.
15:27This is an embarrassing debate.
15:29This is an embarrassing moment for this Congress.
15:33You know. Now a big development yesterday as well was that this guy by the
15:38name of Kent, you know this guy, he was the head of counterterrorism.
15:44He was Tulsi Gabbard's number two, Joe Kent, right -wing extremist, as MAGA as it
15:50can be. He resigns from the Trump regime.
15:52He goes, I can't support this Iran war.
15:54I thought our whole thing is we're against these never -ending wars.
15:57Kent was a combat veteran.
16:00He served like in 11 different kind of combat missions.
16:04His wife, he's a gold star husband.
16:07His wife was tragically killed in, I believe it was Syria, in a terrorist attack
16:14in 2019. But this guy has a real kind of extreme right -wing extremist view.
16:21So I'm not trying to make any like, I'm not trying to hoist this guy
16:24up like he's like a great guy, but he resigned very publicly.
16:28His resignation letter is like going to get like 100 million views on Twitter and
16:33X. People in MAGA like him, but, you know, people in MAGA are also, you
16:37know, whatever. Well, I'll try to be inclusive about MAGA.
16:40Anyway, so here Laura Ingram try it.
16:43No, I guess, I guess not.
16:44I don't know. Here's what Laura Ingram says about Joe Kent.
16:48And she's like, oh, he's a liberal darling now.
16:52Joe Kent, the new liberal Joe Kent, the liberal darling.
16:56Dude's the most extreme right -wing guy there is.
16:58When you lose Joe Kent, what you're, the MAGA is just the party right now
17:04of Trump, Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, and Netanyahu.
17:08Like that's, that's your posse.
17:10Like that's, like, that's your crew.
17:12Anyway, here play this clip.
17:14But now, well, Joe Kent is the liberal darling du jour.
17:18And it's all because he's turning on Donald Trump.
17:21Now the former head of the National Counterterrorism Center is resigning over the Iran war.
17:28But you see how they're, what they're trying to do now at state regime media?
17:31Because they see what's going on on the House floor.
17:34So then they bring on Dan Bongino and Dan Bongino's out there saying, oh, I've
17:40seen so many security briefings.
17:43Joe Kent doesn't know what he's talking about here.
17:45Play this clip. You're going to see this with Joe Kent in the coming days.
17:49Listen, Joe's decorated history of service is beyond reproach.
17:53And his sacrifice with his family is just unspeakable.
17:56I don't even like to think about it.
17:57His wife, who passed over, who was killed.
18:01Yeah, I mean, you know, there was, her name is emblazoned on a plaque in
18:05a facility I can't really talk about.
18:07And when you read the story there, it's a tough story to read.
18:10But, you know, again, as I've said with other, yeah, the sacrifice is beyond reproach.
18:15That doesn't mean that this current opinion is any more fact -based, because it's not.
18:21I'm really sorry, Laura. I mean, I read probably a lot more intelligence than he
18:26did, because they don't have a law enforcement function, the National Counterterrorism Center.
18:31They're an analytical clearinghouse. They're valuable.
18:34However, I had access to just about everything.
18:37And how you could come to the conclusion that the Israelis did it and there
18:42was no imminent threat here?
18:43Really? What about the anti -ship ballistic missiles, the drone program, 440 kilograms of 60
18:50% enriched nuclear material, their constant death -to -America chance?
18:55I mean, you know, that's called evidence.
18:57In some limited circles, we call that, you know, a clue.
19:00I mean, I don't know at what point you thought this wasn't an imminent threat
19:03after you've read a lot of the stuff I read.
19:06And, by the way, that's just the open -source stuff we can talk about on
19:10the air. I promise you, the president, I promise you, has a bevy of material
19:14that if he could do the men in black thing and erase your mind tomorrow,
19:17if he told you right now, you would come to the imminent threat conclusion in
19:21a snap. Okay, state regime media trying to, like, what, just change the narrative or
19:28what we saw on the House floor.
19:29Then they bring on Lindsey Graham on Sean Hannity.
19:33And Lindsey Graham, again, is like, to Joe Kent, who lost his wife in Syria.
19:39What are you doing, man?
19:40What are you doing? Here, play this clip.
19:43Don't believe that you're wrong.
19:45To my friend Joe Kent, who's a decorated war veteran who lost his wife in
19:49Syria, what are you doing?
19:51You're giving aid and comfort to a lie.
19:54There was an imminent threat.
19:56How much more imminent could you be within two weeks having enough material to make
20:0110 bombs? How close could you come?
20:04Not much. And then finally, Lindsey Graham's closing message is that we owe our security
20:10in the United States to Israel.
20:12If it wasn't for Israel, we would be less safe in the United States.
20:17That's what Lindsey Graham says here.
20:19Play this clip. Well, that's a bunch of BS.
20:21If it weren't for Israel, we'd be less safe.
20:24Israel has no choice to stop radical Islam from destroying it.
20:30I hope the American people understand we have no choice.
20:33You may be tired of fighting them, but they're not tired of fighting you.
20:37The only reason they haven't killed more Americans than they have, radical Islam, is we
20:41stop them before they get here.
20:43If they had weapons -grade material, they would turn it into a bomb.
20:48And if they had a bomb, they would use it because they're religious Nazis.
20:52Those who got Hitler wrong, you're doing the same thing in 2026.
20:58All right. Well, there you have it, everybody.
