Washington, D.C.,
home of America's sharpest penis.
Ever since metal detectors were installed
outside the House of Representatives
in the wake of the Capitol riot,
Republicans have been causing a scene
by trying to sneak past with their own guns.
And it's gotten so bad
that Democrats had to finally lay down the law.
NEWSWOMAN: Fines for House members
who refuse to pass through new metal detectors.
The $5,000 fine for a first offense
and a $10,000 fine after that
will be deducted straight from lawmakers' salaries.
Every Republican present voted against this new rule
proposed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi
in the wake of the Capitol insurrection.
Some Republicans, like Louie Gohmert of Texas,
Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Andy Harris of Maryland,
they have already tried to defy these new security screenings.
Whew. You got to admit, man,
these Republicans have got some balls.
They're really out here like,
"I need my guns. This place is dangerous.
Any minute now, I could incite another riot."
Look, man, there is no reason that any member of Congress
should need a gun on the floor of the House.
None... Okay, maybe except Louie Gohmert.
I mean, he needs his gun for hunting wabbits.
So, look, I hope that these fines
will finally force Republicans to behave themselves.
On the other hand, though,
bringing your gun in and paying the fine anyway
might just be the way Republicans flex from now on.
They'll just be walking around like,
"Yeah, that's right. I got that metal detector money, bitch."
Speaking of the insurrection, one thing that set it off
was the conspiracy theory that the Democrats stole the election
using rigged voting machines from the company Dominion.
It's a conspiracy theory
that was pushed by Trump supporters
like Mike Lindell, the MyPillow founder
and alt-right Mario,
and the right-wing network Newsmax
talked about it all the time.
But last month, Dominion finally told Newsmax,
"Yo, if you don't get our name out of your mouth,
"we're gonna sue your channel 349-ass network
into oblivion."
And based on what happened yesterday
when Lindell tried to go back on Newsmax,
the network is taking that threat seriously.
We have all the election fraud with these Dominion machines.
We have 100% proof.
And then I... When they took it down,
-uh, about three weeks ago... -SELLERS: Mike. Mike.
...and then when they put it back up,
my personal... I put a...
-It was a... -SELLERS: Mike, thank you very much.
Mike, Mike, I... You're talking about machines,
uh, that-that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify
any of those kinds of allegations.
-(speaking indistinctly) -We just want to let people know
that there's nothing substantive that we've seen.
Let me read you something there.
"While there were some clear evidence
"of some cases of vote fraud and election irregularity,
"the election results in every state were certified,
"and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final.
The courts have also supported that view."
So, we wanted to talk to you
about canceling culture, if you will.
We don't want to relitigate the-the...
-Wait, wait, wait. -...the, uh, allegations
that you're making, Mike,
'cause we-we understand where you are.
So, let me ask you this.
Do you think that this should be temporary?
Because it appears to be permanent.
Could you make an argument that it is temporary?
What?
-(chuckles) -What?
Could you make an argument that this could be
a temporary banning rather than permanent?
No, I want it to be a permanent, because you know what?
They did this because I'm revealing all the evidence
on Friday of all the election fraud
with these machines.
-So, I'm sorry if you think... -SELLERS: Okay. Uh, Mike, I...
Can I ask our producers, can we get out of here, please?
Uh, I-I don't want to have to keep going over this.
-Actually, Mike... -We at Newsmax have not been able
-to verify any of those allegations... -Wait a minute.
-Wait. Mike, hold on a second. -...that you're-you're a...
Everybody, hold on a second. Mike, Mike, hold on one second.
Uh, let's talk a little bit
about just what is happening.
Damn! That defamation lawsuit
has Newsmax shook!
See that dude? He peaced out of there
like the Chipotle just hit.
But, you see, that's the power of the courts right there.
Because Mike Lindell tried to stage a coup,
and Newsmax was fine with inviting him on.
But the second he started saying shit
that was gonna get them sued, all of a sudden, they're like...
(sputters) "No, no, no, no, no, my man.
"Overthrowing the government is one thing,
"but a lawsuit?
-That shit's serious." -(musical sting plays)
And keep in mind, this is Newsmax we're talking about.
Remember, Newsmax is like Fox News
after it stopped taking its meds.
But at least, for a minute, Dominion managed to sue them
into behaving like actual journalists.
"According to this statement from my lawyer,
your-your facts are in... correct."
