suffer again recently spoke in for the subcommittee
up for the Senators the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on labor
health and human services and the reason why he did that is because he has a
charity known as
clarity for charity that raises awareness about Alzheimer's disease
his mother-in-law actually suffers from Alzheimer's and he wants to raise money
in order to
bring awareness to it now while he was giving that speech she was kinda annoyed
because a bunch of senators
stood around took pictures with him and then as soon as he started his speech
they decided to leave in fact he said that there are only two people left
and those two people were the chairman Tom Harkin
a harkin and also the ranking member Jerry Moran everyone else left he was
annoyed and he said
a that senator her I was the one that he was really annoyed by because he had
tweeted about how we met him so excited
this was the tweet that program said to him pleasure meeting you why did you
leave before my speech just curious
and then Senator Mark Kirk said the following: %uh had a meeting with
captain jim lovell
but what's your testimony after thanks for the work
to a I don't and Alzheimer's yeah
in Alzheimer's and keep in touch Hampshire the itinerary included
Instagram picture: the two that right I'm sure they're gonna keep in touch
yeah they seem like they're gonna be but that jim lovell
who is a was the captain over about 30
capita my heart and her and the only thing I'm more sure
is that he went back and watched the testimony yeah
oh my god I would have loved to have been a reporter X's upset really
tell me one thing he said in that this morning we let the most insulting thing
was that you know he's like why did you guys not stick around for my
alzheimer's testimony and wanna centers like after get about
pack and buy you really go with like I forgot to
whether good care either
okay sometimes basse-bolle the best pitch a whole week okay I area
primarily out there knows about when prime I saw your hearing aid city centre
said I so harkin
yeah and I saw Jerry Moran yeah and all the other seats are empty
yeah they were here senator Kirsten really start yeah business owners at
least show up
cameras are there yeah I mean it was why were they there did you ask anybody
where the hell the geysers was a work here are
I and II audibly assuming I hope it somewhere better
feed myself now arms I think and I think it's indicative of the mentality that we
find so frustrating is that it seems to be a low priority
it seems like these people don't care about the direct message they're giving
by leaving
shirking our testimony if they don't care to win over falling asleep during
the first part of the testimony literally I mean
I thought happening umma ask questions that or even answered
in the test input he fled because they clearly weren't paying attention I mean
on a very ground floor level there were some very distressing things I witnessed
just being in that room and seeing how to other people seem to care and
everyone else
I had no idea what they were doing wut happens wen spoke a lot but like several
yeah really testify before Congress then you give a coach in a counter that on
television
Jesus well I'm glad that are made and where Tigers that's what it looks like
yeah okay shirt and even fathom but yeah but it was 19 again awake at that
yeah so I'll look the
I I like that he's calling out because they were there in the beginning Friday
to
they were there to take pictures but they were there to listen otherwise
nobody's in the senate I don't know if he knows that like C span when they
cover the house o.o or any other proceedings
like there's no one there they just focus the camera on the one brown
grisman
now the other congressmen are there but I was given to believe that you are more
likely to be a hearing
like I get the stuff that was on the floor for a vote as not really
like a lot the average that's become the average maybe that wasn't the intent
be only to be there for that you've got you've been lucky you know but committee
is where you do the things like that's the whole point
but in and indefensible senator since after all good testimony was nearly
seven minutes
oh yeah habitat alright so I actually watched it and he was funny
he was informative what I I find a super Caliente
here they were talented and yeah he is very smart so I was kinda shocked that
like I'm not a senator among lawmakers
absolutely no impact on his charity I could donate money to assure
but I had more interesting what he had to say than people who should have more
interested in what you have to say because they can actually help raise
money for his generous you bring celebrities is because they bring
attention they bring the camera so so so good looking to do something
positive for cause it makes us to bring a celebrity might not be the
all the men expert on alzheimer's but he brings more cash into it
but he brought attention to it apparently for the Senators for about a
minute for as long as it took to take pictures
but now he's missing some structural problems with to the senate that he's
not aware so for example he said
like they didn't pay attention that's why they ask the questions that were
already set in the testimony
right no the he's missing the real problem there
they ask the questions that were written for them in advance before anyone heard
the testimony
by staffers so that's that's actual bigger problem is not a senator going
all in all you have
or what you're tall women I have a question about that raid know it was
insists he's they have no city goes okay my
it's like the anchors on TV with a producer to get had okay and here's a
question i'm suppose ask you
it of course they didn't pay attention the right to question their even care
about the answer rate
10 what do members of congress do on a day-to-day basis like
well I was exactly what I was going to impress their question
because where did they go fingertip yeah maybe he met with captain lovell or
whatever at some point that day whatever his name is Ray
jim lovell unloved okay know they want to go raise money
that's where they go they spend at least 50 percent other day raising money
I talk to US congressman who told me that if they catch you eating lunch and
by they he needs is
own staffers they will drive you back into the phone area to make sure that
you're not wasting your time eating lunch
when you could be making calls a rich people begging for money
okay so it is at least a 50 percent chance
at least those senators all left to go call rich people's hair give me money
give me money I'll do whatever you want okay
that's the second part of all structure that senators have to do it less than
members at the house because X cycle was so
extreme I but yeah that's what i mean they're more likely to know what you see
and how to cart not been
you maybe while our I Laredo I'm a spoiler
not doing things that might be illegal necessarily worldcom
but but yeah they're like you know they're plotting ways to move things
forward and that always means
getting the money get the my weather expert badly for them reports
legislation or for the party so
I think it's like frustrating because while they're doing that of course
they're gonna be ignoring their own damn constituents like they're not gonna be
listening to them were representing them like what good is the so-called
you know representation when they don't do any of that
there might be a but I don't know what was there and some senators may have had
a better place to be then listening to celebrity testimony like that that's
entirely
possible I don't know but it it it would be
you know and there are some good legislators who they know me I had a
meeting cuz we're trying to
fix whatever disney pixar work and other tax bill we're working on something
and I bet somethings guys don't think sit there and listen to a thing at all
times especially if you're like
a man I'm port like when the bill comes up for the Alzheimer's more money
kellyanne I'm done you can convince me anymore that I'm convinced that they may
well have some are legitimate to me
near told me that they so they spend most of their time raising money
that's why they weren't i thought id I thought there are a lot like a batting
cage is a public cock
yeah I'm what is the good ol days you know what is the problem is that it's
that the actor squeak
is a big typical me indulgent good I want what's the first part of the clip
too because
that the actress continue with the MSNBC interview
not supplement issue but Chris matt is issue so the theatrics is we got a
celebrity in a dark about this thing
will get the coverage for that doesn't matter right so
and like some people are gonna vote for it they don't need to sit through the
whole hearing their soul there in
and you have to convince anyone that both gonna go how about gotta go
which is probably right to have not entered all the effort
but then listen to Chris Matthews question we could probably out there
knows about when prime I saw your hearing aid in city center said I so
harkin
yeah and I saw Jerry Moran yeah and all the other seats are empty
yeah they will so like he didn't see it here watchin
accordion watchin while Chris Matthews what's that I
that story broke the same he thought they where we thought that like
they change the tweets and so like it away
diane sawyer the biggest biggest offender this
she ask questions like on Monday show about stories that broke on Friday that
we know it should be like
I'm curious I'm were you curious you wouldn't want your daughter
I just say haystack
so you got into this thing with marker cuz you were like hey there's no
senators that like there's a way to have that segment
and not make it seem I know this may seem super nit picky
but I think totally matters that there's this
false sense that Chris Matthews because we don't get to date the morning
anti-spam goes on and he's watching hearings he's everywhere
get outta Mike many jurors like to know it's like he broke the story that
there's no
yes there's only two starters there's like he gets uploaded on the show
tonight
yeah lol a it's just part of the fakeness and
you have to throw in on you can have that segment beat up to pretend you were
watching
you want something else important you don't to protect right and we all know
that the only person in the country wife says I was there
I re: in well as things if to
build on what Ben said I'm that's the other
huge problem in this week is that no one's gonna convinced
that's not how it works and in the old days maybe the senator showed up because
they were gonna have a debate
and maybe they get convinced one way or another and this they
you know which way each one of those senators gonna vote
and its usually ninety-five percent of the time are being incredibly
generous by saying only 95 percent is dictated by
some financial interests right usually campaign contributions but in the case
of alzheimer's it might be there
they're gonna get ranked lower by a conservative think tank if they vote for
more spending
raid or vice versa some health group my boat
democrats rank them lower in their rankings if they don't vote for that
spending et cetera
so there voters predetermined this it is
inconceivable that you would have any hearing
were senator would go good point a hand for that
I'm gonna change my book like cable TV it that's ever happened but
and some other I meant think it necessarily all the way that cynical I
suspect that some people who want to support that kinda funny
who consistently vote for more scientific research for more money and
they don't care where the mean they just cuz that's like that of course that's
what I want that means what we do over in the senate
you know but I get it still takes that let's all that weight is all that
I mean I'm into it
