SUCH A DIFFERENT FOR US THAN IT
WAS EXACTLY
BUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
SUPPORTED, AN ATTACK ON
DEMOCRACY.
AT THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL,
AFTER TRYING TO ATTACK AND
DESTROY DEMOCRACY, IN ELECTIONS
FOR PRESIDENT TO INDIVIDUAL
STATES, INCLUDING GEORGIA,
WHERE DONALD TRUMP CALLED THE
SECRETARY OF STATE, ASKING HIM
TO CHANGE THE VOTE COUNT, A
PHONE CALL THAT WAS RECORDED,
AND IMMEDIATELY PROVOKED A
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION OF
DONALD TRUMP, WHICH AS OF TONIGHT, HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
TONIGHT, HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THE DETAILS
OF WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THAT
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, IN
GEORGIA OF DONALD TRUMP LATER IN THIS HOUR.
IN THIS HOUR.
WITH ANDREW WEISSMANN AND NEIL
KEVIN MCCARTHY, MADE A SERIES
OF DEALS OVER THE COURSE OF
LAST WEEK, WITH REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS WHO DID NOT WANT HIM TO
BE SPEAKER, IN ORDER TO
EVENTUALLY GET THEIR VOTES, OR
GET THEM TO NOT VOTE, SOME OF
THOSE DEALS WERE FORMALIZED AND
WRITING, IN A NEW PACKAGE OF
VOTES TO GOVERN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES FOR NEXT, YEARS
THAT IS PASSED BY THE
REPUBLICANS TONIGHT.
AND THAT PACKAGE OF RULES,
GUARANTEES THAT THIS VERSION OF
THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, WILL BE THE
WORST REPUBLICAN HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IN HISTORY, THE
NEW RULES GUARANTEE THAT THIS
WILL BE THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE
AND RECKLESS REPUBLICAN HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES, IN HISTORY.
IF YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN THEM
BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND RECKLESS,
AND A HOUSE BEFORE.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE THINGS YOU
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NO REAL
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, EXCEPT TO
CUT SPENDING WITHOUT EVER
SPECIFYING WITH THE SPENDING
CUTS WILL ACTUALLY BE, THEY
HAVE MADE IT AGAINST THE RULES,
FOR THE HOUSE TO VOTE FOR A
SIMPLE INCREASE IN AID THAT
CEILING, AS HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES HAS DONE
THROUGHOUT AMERICAN HISTORY,
THEREBY MAKING IT MORE LIKELY
THAN EVER, THAT WE WILL FINALLY
FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH,
WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC CALAMITY AND
DEVASTATION ENSUES, WHEN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY,
HITS THE DEBT LIMIT.
AND DEFAULTS ON ITS DEBT,
THANKS TO THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES.
HERE IS WHAT THE PREVIOUS
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN OF THE
HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE, JANET
GOVERNOR HAD TO SAY TONIGHT,
ABOUT THE NEW REPUBLICAN RULES
IN THE HOUSE.
>> WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS
NOT JUST WHAT'S WRITTEN DOWN
HERE, I'M CONCERNED BY THE
BACKROOM DEALS THAT SPEAKER
MCCARTHY MADE WITH THE FREEDOM
CAUCUS IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR
VOTES LIKE REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY MACE SAID
JUST THIS WEEKEND, AND I QUOTE,
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PROMISES
WERE MADE.
>> IS THIS WHAT THE MAJORITY
LEADER TALKED ABOUT WHEN HE
TALKED ABOUT A NEW DAY IN
TRANSPARENCY?
>> THESE RULES ARE NOT AS
SERIOUS ATTEMPTED GOVERNING,
THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY RANSOM NOTE
FROM THE EXTREME RIGHT.
THE SAME MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
THAT HELD THIS BODY KOCH
HOSTAGE, ARE THE ONES WHO RAN
INTEREST OF THE
INSURRECTIONISTS, WE TRY TO
OVERTURN A FREE AND FAIR
ELECTION.
AND EVEN THE NEWS WE GOT THE,
HOUSE VOTED TO OVERTURN THE
2020 ELECTIONS.
WE COULDN'T EVEN GET A PUBLIC
ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM, HIM ON THE
THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THAT
HORRIFIC DAY, NOT EVEN A TWEETS.
IT IS CLEAR THAT REPUBLICANS
WELCOME THE ELECTION DENIERS
INTO THE RANKS, WITH OPEN ARMS,
AND NOW THEY ARE REAPING WHAT
THEY HAVE SEWN.
THE INSURRECTIONISTS ARE IN
CHARGE, AND I SAW ON THE CAKE?
A NEW SUBCOMMITTEE TO PUSH
QANON CONSPIRACIES AND LAUNCH
FAKE INVESTIGATIONS INTO
NONEXISTENT SCANDALS WHAT'S
NEXT A RULE REQUIRING WE ALL
WEAR THEM FALL HATS?
>> MOORE'S BEEN ASKED OF THE
VOTER, IN THE 24, CENTURY THAN
EVER BEFORE, VOTE NOT JUST
EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT IN OUR
DEMOCRACY BUT VOTE BECAUSE
DEMOCRACY ITSELF IS AT STAKE.
VOTE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SAVE
DEMOCRACY.
THOSE HAVE NEVER BEEN THE
STAKES IN VOTING BEFORE AND
BEGINNING IN THE OBAMA YEARS,
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, TO FOLLOW
LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN CONGRESS,
VOTER WHO SUDDENLY HAD TO
MASTER PARLIAMENTARY PROCESSES.
SUDDENLY EVERY WHEN KNEW THAT
THE RECONCILIATION BILL PASSING
THROUGH THE SENATE, DOESN'T
NEED TO CLEAR A 60 VOTE
THRESHOLD FIRST, THE BUDGET
RECONCILIATION PROCESS HAD BEEN
AROUND FOR DECADES.
BUT MOST PEOPLE IN CONGRESS
DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND IT.
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO.
GOVERNING WITH SIMPLY THEN, AND
MORE BIPARTISAN.
THEN, REPUBLICANS TRIED TO MAKE
INCREASING THE DEBT CEILING A
WORLDWIDE FINANCIAL CRISIS
POINT, INSTEAD OF THE ROUTINE
BUSINESS OF THE CONGRESS, THAT
IT HAD BEEN FOR CENTURIES,
LITERALLY.
YOU COULD'VE COVERED POLITICS
FOR THE ENTIRE 20TH CENTURY,
WITHOUT EVER HEARING MENTION
THE WORDS DEBT CEILING.
NOT ANYMORE.
AND THIS, YEAR WE WILL ALL HAVE
TO BECOME EXPERTS IN, THE WORDS
DISCHARGE PETITIONS, MOST OF
YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT
PHRASE BEFORE, BUT YOU WILL BE
HEARING IT NONSTOP THIS YEAR,
IT DISCHARGE PETITION ALLOWS A
BILL TO GET THE HOUSE, BILL
OVER AND AROUND THE OPPOSITION
OF THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
KEVIN MCCARTHY IS ALREADY
PROMISED, IN WRITING, NEVER
BRING A DEBT CEILING INCREASE
TO THE FLORIDA HOUSE.
SO, THE CHALLENGE FOR DEMOCRATS,
AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO
DESTROY --
ALONG WITH IT WILL BE TO PASS A
DEBT CEILING INCREASE WITHOUT
KEVIN MCCARTHY SUPPORT.
THROUGH A DISCHARGE PETITION.
I BUT A DISCHARGE PETITION GETS
THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IN THE BUILT
INCREASE THE THAT'S LAME CAN BE BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR OF THE
BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR OF THE
HOUSE --
THAN ANY OTHER PARLIAMENTARY
MANEUVER WE'D SEEN IN OPERATION
BUT IT'S THE ONLY ROAD TO
SANITY NOW IN EIGHT HOUSE OF
