4/18/202617 mincomplete
0:00Mag and Mike has done it again, shutting down the House floor at 2 .03
0:06a .m. on Friday morning and saying, we ain't going to be working on the
0:10House floor as members of Congress until Monday at 12 p .m.
0:16in the afternoon. If you take a look at the minutes as I've been analyzing
0:21from the House clerk, you'll see what went down at 2 a .m.
0:26in the morning, 2 .10 a .m.
0:28in three seconds to be exact.
0:30The House adjourned pursuant to a previous special order.
0:34The next meeting is scheduled for 12 p .m.
0:37on April 20, 2026. And if you delve a little bit deeper into what happened,
0:43there was a unanimous consent motion that the House would be adjourned on Friday morning
0:48at basically at 2 a .m.
0:50So people would stop working until Monday.
0:52Now, there was hearings still in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
0:56We've been covering those. But in terms of votes on the House floor, Mag and
1:00Mike shut that down. And I don't know what vote may be significant on the
1:06House floor. So I don't know, maybe assert your Article 1 authority to stop Donald
1:11Trump from engaging in this unlawful and catastrophic war as Donald Trump pretends that Iran
1:17opened up the Strait of Hormuz and there's free access.
1:20And guess what? According to Donald Trump, American military excavators working side by side with
1:28their friends, the Iranian excavators, and they're going to find that nuclear dust together.
1:33They're putting in a little nuclear dust bin.
1:35They're bringing it back to the United States.
1:38One problem, everything false. Ships ain't leaving the Strait of Hormuz.
1:43There's no free access through it.
1:45Iran controls it with an iron fist.
1:48Iran ain't giving up their uranium.
1:51Donald Trump just lied about everything.
1:53But guess what? He called up a lot of reporters.
1:56He called up CBS and he called up NBC and Reuters and Newsdation and this
2:02one and that one and Axios.
2:04And they all just said, Donald Trump said, Donald Trump said, do you see the
2:08coordinated plan right here? Let me spell it out for you.
2:13MAGA Mike shuts down the House floor to stop additional votes regarding the war powers
2:19authorization to potentially stop Donald Trump from this unlawful conduct or at least bring it
2:25to the people's attention. MAGA Mike shuts down the House floor.
2:29Donald Trump lies, manipulates the market, calls up all the members of the press, makes
2:35up yet another fake deal that doesn't happen.
2:39But did you pay attention to what went down late last night?
2:43Did you see what went down?
2:45It was announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, or I should say, there was a
2:50little footnote that went out the wire when people discovered that the United States was
2:55extending the revocation of sanctions against Russia.
3:00You know how Besson said, we're going to keep those sanctions on against Russia after
3:06we have a deal. Well, now you're claiming there is a deal, which you obviously
3:10don't, and you've continued to remove the sanctions against Russia.
3:15Russia, the big beneficiary, the Russian sanctions, the sanctions on Russian oil removed.
3:21Now Russia could sell their oil and make billions and billions of dollars.
3:25So MAGA Mike shuts it down, and then Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, he's the one
3:30starting to, you know, he's messaging this and he's asked, so why aren't people feeling
3:35good about the economy? Watch what Besson says as the House floor shut down.
3:40Play this clip. Why aren't we seeing this sentiment?
3:43Why are people feeling better?
3:45Well, I, you know, I, when I was in the investment business, there are consumer
3:50surveys, but I used to look at what are the people really doing?
3:55So at Treasury, we have loads of CEOs come through, whether they're in retail, credit
4:01card, the banks, and the consumer, while they may be sounding grim, is actually quite
4:09buoyant. So we are seeing spending has been very solid across most categories.
4:14So they might not feel good, but.
4:17Well, look, in the heart of hearts, they feel good.
4:19I'm not sure what they're telling the survey people.
4:22And then you had Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Howard Lutnick starts to say that
4:29he hates people who suck.
4:31He's like, the worst thing is that there are sucking sounds and people keep sucking
4:35off and sucking. What is he talking about here?
4:39Play this clip. The worst thing I learned when I went into government is the
4:43sucking sound of how many people try to suck off of the U .S.
4:46government. I mean, it was, it's so demoralizing to watch that stuff.
4:50Look. And then he says, don't you worry, everybody.
4:53Six percent GDP growth. It's right around the corner.
4:56Here, play this clip. The fundamentals of the U .S.
4:59economic underpinning remain, right? The war changed that model and created fear and uncertainty.
5:05But the growth rate in the United States will hit six percent of Donald Trump's
5:10leadership. It will. hit six percent annual gdp growth under donald trump's leadership but not
5:15this year well let's see let's see i mean you know yeah today if the
5:20straits of our moves open there's always a band with like the latinx thing at
5:24the top and then like you got treasury down here and the democrats down here
5:27but you're holding it at six percent i i am because i i know the
5:33the commitments of build in america that means the fact and then he says uh
5:38canada sucks he goes they're sucking sounds then he says canada sucks and this is
5:43a weird still weird weird regime here play this clip right here the time is
5:49on our side because the pressures on the u .s are only going to increase
5:52over time basically you guys are in political trouble the longer they wait the better
5:55deal you're gonna have to do good for them that is like the worst strategy
5:59i've ever heard they suck they look we are a 30 trillion dollar economy right
6:05we are the consumer of the world okay carney has a problem with us he
6:11gets on a plane and he goes to china does he think china's the chinese
6:16economy is gonna buy his stuff china is entirely an export -driven economy right so
6:23what do you do he came back and said oh we'll take their electric cars
6:26i mean is this nuts so as maga mike shut down the house floor you
6:31then have maga republican stutzman or stutzman he goes on cnn and here's what he
6:37has to say play this clip president trump is a tough negotiator i mean we've
6:41been really able to watch him negotiate almost as a as a general public through
6:46the truth social post and uh and there's days you're like wow and but this
6:51is the way he negotiates he's a tough negotiator and he gets results including threatening
6:55taking out an entire civilization well and you know what that was you know one
6:59of the things that uh you know they as he said they say death to
7:02israel death to america and i think we have to take them seriously you know
7:06and while they are a much smaller country and they don't have the capabilities that
7:09we do as americans we still have to take it seriously and i think that
7:13those were the types of words that they understood what those meant uh i believe
7:17that he never intended to do that but he was it was a simply the
7:20rhetoric to put them in a a position of he means really uh he means
7:25business i mean you can't even admit that threatening an entire civilization is bad you
7:33have yeah you can't just say no we shouldn't be threatening to eliminate an entire
7:37civilization that's called a genocide what are you what are these people doing then you
7:42have jim jordan saying um look i just think the democrats are crazy they're crazy
7:47folks they're crazy crazy crazy people hey jim jordan meet a mirror y 'all are
7:53actually a bunch of lunatics here play this clip no i mean i i think
7:59we're gonna win uh i think we're gonna win because the left every position they
8:02take is crazy you know i was i don't know if i said this on
8:05your show a few weeks ago but i was doing some interview and i said
8:07i think this this election is really going to come down to a couple sentences
8:11they're crazy we're not and you can look at every policy they have we just
8:14talked about sanctuary jurisdiction policy that's crazy makes no absolute no sense uh this idea
8:18that oh we're going to defund ice makes no sense we're going to defund the
8:21police that's crazy we're going to have men compete against women in sports that's crazy
8:24we're going to shut down the government for 42 days in the fall 50 some
8:28days here in the spring all those things are crazy so i do think we
8:31have to remind the voters that the left is crazy all right let me tell

10:00on and we've been covering it and you got to give a hat tip to
10:03her uh democratic congresswoman summer lee her cross -examination of rfk jr so house floor
10:09shut down there were still hearings taking place and you know the maga republicans wanted
10:14to hold their performative hearings and not actually address issues but take a look at
10:19this cross -examination by congresswoman lee let's play this clip right here your agency told
10:25programs to remove a list of nearly 200 words and phrases from their funding applications
10:30including the word black um do you have an idea of how we could solve
10:34the black total mortality crisis if we can't say black president trump is trying to
10:38end division in this country not so sorry not eviction during the last four years
10:43that's what dei did it divided people it polarized people no no no no we're
10:48not talking about eviction we're talking about i'm calling about dei we're talking about health
10:52care yeah disparities so what we're asking is is if you attack dei and i
10:57and then we have a a crisis that impacts one population over another but you
11:02cannot direct specific spending or research or interventions to that population how do you solve
11:10the problem do you think the federal government should be paying for dei i think
11:15the federal government has a vested interest in ensuring that its citizens survive childbirth well
11:20we we are meeting that obligation we are not oh that i can explain to
11:26you how we are if you have not done so so far but also i
11:29would say that you know we can improve health care for everybody at the same
11:33time as helping the people who are most likely to die that's what dei and
11:38i well first of all dei and i make sure that we have black doctors
11:41um or women doctors or that we're talking about the fact that we have a
11:46mortality rate that is not matched by any other country as as what we would
11:51call developed as ours really quickly and yesterday now what was going on um with
11:57state regime media here's what fox talked about in terms of foreclosures increasing play this
12:02clip according to realtor .com home foreclosures jumped 26 percent in the first three months
12:08of this year and the foreclosure rates were highest in indiana south carolina and florida
12:14back on cnn harry enton had this rut row moment let's play this clip it's
12:19the group that helped put him in the white house in 2016 and then again
12:23in 2024 the group that shifted tremendously from 2012 to 2016 and put him in
12:28the white house we are talking about non -college white voters and he is sliding
12:33right into the water this is a rut row moment to quote the great scooby
12:38-doo trump's net approval rating with non -college whites look at this in february of
12:422025 it was plus 32 points down it goes look at johnny johnny is just
12:46shocked by this number and now it is minus two points that is a 34
12:50point shift and i will note this as an average of polls this is not
12:54just one poll i've averaged three different polls here three big pollsters and what we
12:58see is donald trump actually underwater with non -college whites who of course put him
13:03in the white house a really moment yes really john democratic congress member adam smith
13:09had the following to say let's play it the president says iran has said they're
13:14going to give up their you know any desire to have nuclear weapon and that
13:18they're going to give up their enriched uranium there there's absolutely no evidence of that
13:24and it would be remarkable if they have already agreed to give up their enriched
13:27uranium it's also remarkable that the president united states can say something like that which
13:32seems on the face of it to just be ridiculous and it not be headlines
13:37that the president united states is if he is making something up of that magnitude
13:42that's extraordinary or it should be extraordinary oh god that's just pure fantasy on his
13:49part and look this has been trump i mean he's always saying stuff that's completely
13:53untrue and somehow people have decided that's okay it was never okay all right whatever
13:59the alternatives may have been to have a president this disconnected from reality i mean
14:04remember he's been saying for what is it now nine years that that are sorry
14:09seven years that iran is begging him for a deal they're begging him for a
14:13deal and that was never true so we have a president who doesn't even know
14:18what the truth is leading us into a devastating and costly war and and we
14:23had a vote today in the house to to end this war and all of
14:27the republicans just signed up and saluted and said let's follow the guy who's just
14:32making it up as he goes along it's a huge problem that i think we
14:36need a lot more more pushback against and finally you who had state regime media
14:41which calls itself fox attacking the democratic congresswoman elect mehia who just won in new
14:49jersey's uh open congressional seat and uh this is how fox attacks her they go
14:55you know in this congresswoman elect mehia she's against ice she accuses israel of committing
15:01genocide in gaza she wants to impeach justice clarence thomas and samuel alito she believes
15:08in a 25 federal minimum wage she wants to cancel all student loan debt she
15:13wants to tax the wealthy she wants universal health care she wants universal child care
15:18she's a she's crazy so just so you're all clear when jim jordan and trump
15:25and besant and lutnik and state regime media refer to democrats as crazy the crazy
15:33policies that they claim are crazy just pull pull up the photo guys just so
15:38they're saying these policies are crazy when those policies are true and accurate and things
15:46that most americans agree with right now as they should play this clip of state
15:50regime let's play it because mejia like aoc and bernie sanders believe that america at
15:57its core is evil and corrupt and of course she wants to abolish ice she
16:03wants universal child care universal health care canceling all student debt National minimum wage, up
16:09to $25, impeach Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.
16:12Now, this menu of destructive ideas is no longer considered, though, fringe in the Democrat
16:17Party. It's gone totally mainstream.
16:20It is a deep hostility to our country, to our history, to the capitalist system.
16:27There you have it, folks.
16:29Mag and Mike shutting it down yet again.
16:31Shutting down the House floor.
