I'm looking for fighters right now. I want to know which Democrats are going to be on the front lines pushing back against this MAGA nonsense. I'll tell you who. People like Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Let's

Let's take a look at what she said at a hearing yesterday that was titled Oversight of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which the MAGA Republicans were using to try to attack FEMA and spread conspiracy theories. Here, watch this. Play the clip. It's my understanding.

Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. That over 671,000 households impacted by Hurricane Helene have received over $503 million from FEMA's Serious Needs Program. And over 218,000 households impacted by Hurricane Milton have received over $145 million. Yet and still, we had members on this committee, it looks like,

We had there were 82 members that opposed the bill to fund when we knew that this was coming. Thanks to Noah and 19 of the 26 Republicans on this oversight committee voted against the bill to keep FEMA funded. And nine are in states that were directly hit by.

I don't understand why we come in and pretend that we have all these issues with your agency. And I thank you for your service when you don't want to fund it. Next up, we have Democratic Congresswoman Ramirez from Illinois' third congressional district.

Here she is calling out some of the MAGA Republicans who sit on this committee with her saying, like, you all are trying to find jobs in the federal government working for Donald Trump, your dear leader, but you hate the federal government. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. In another post, you say we should destroy the federal government and that the federal government is the enemy.

I find that odd considering you were once a federal employee and you've been begging to come back into the incoming Trump administration for a new job. Lastly, you posted that the federal government is the epicenter of pedophilia.

and outright falsehood with perhaps the exception of Trump's stellar attorney general pick. Next up, we have Democratic Congresswoman AOC. Here she's talking to the FEMA administrator who's one of the witnesses who the MAGAs called to attack. And here AOC is debunking all of Trump and MAGAs lies about FEMA. Play this clip.

Another one that I also saw very widely circulated, that FEMA did not have enough money to provide relief services because that allocation of funds went to either undocumented immigrants, aid to Ukraine, or even aid to the Israeli government. Is that correct, that FEMA's funds were allocated away to those causes? Completely inaccurate. Completely false. On the record, completely false. Correct. Correct.

Here is AOC again from that same committee hearing. Let's play it. I previously served several terms on the Financial Services Committee, which also has jurisdiction over the authorizations around the National Flood Insurance Program. And a lot of people don't know that the maps for the NFIP and what is considered a flood zone or not are tied to flood maps from before the federal government even acknowledged that climate change is real.

And so we are allocating flood insurance from before these areas became flood zones that are now flood zones. And so historically, there's been a great deal of Republican resistance to updating these maps. My hope is that we can do that now. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and the other Oompa Loompas were at...

a SpaceX event with the co-president Elon Musk. I mean, just take a look. This is what MAGA Republican Congress members were doing. Marjorie Taylor Greene stayed back in Washington, D.C. And here she talks about doing a purge

And she talks about a purge coming to Washington, D.C. Here, listen to this. Let's play it. Mr. Chairman, while Democrats are complaining about this lengthy hearing and about President Trump coming in and slashing and reducing the size of government, I just want to say let the purge begin because there's people.

that are homeless right now in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, Georgia. And it's not, misinformation is not the most dangerous thing facing us. It's right now pretty much the federal government and the failure to the American people. Our friend of the show, Raja Krishnamoorthy from Illinois, here he talks about

Again, more debunking of all of the MAGA lies. He's great in these committee hearings. Congress member Christian Morth, you play this clip. Good. It's an atmospheric research facility in Alaska that, believe it or not, conspiracy theorists allege is a mind controlling weather machine.

And one of the conspiracy theories out there is that somehow FEMA controls the weather. And I assume that you as the administrator do not control the weather, right? I do not control the weather. And you don't use secret machines to control hurricanes to target certain places in the United States, right? Correct.

And you and your team did not direct severe weather at North Carolina to, quote unquote, commandeer lithium mine property in that state, right? Why would anybody want to bring harm to the American people? And you would not direct severe weather to target anyone of a particular political party, right? Never. Never.

You're not establishing FEMA camps to detain individuals or enact martial law, right? Correct. These are all conspiracy theories that you've had to deal with.

Then you've got MAGA Republican Congressmember Burleson, and he talks about how he's excited for Elon Musk to work in a fake agency called Doge because he says that Washington, D.C. needs an enema.

an enema, they say. So everybody, all the federal employees will get enemas from Elon Musk and a fake agency called Doge. Play this clip. And I can't wait for Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, to get in under the next administration and start making this government work more efficiently because this town does need a purge. This town needs an enema. And honestly, I can't wait.

Democratic Congresswoman Stansberry. She's from the great state of New Mexico. Here she talks about something that should be a very basic principle, which is that

We should not use people as props and pawns in political games. That the goal of emergency relief is to provide emergency relief and not do what Trump and the MAGAs want to do, play this clip. And absolutely under no condition should politics be the reason why someone is denied basic dignity, access to emergency resources.

and comity by our colleagues, whether that's emergency aid in their homes or access to the bathroom here in the Capitol. Oh, and then we have Lauren Boebert right here questioning the FEMA administrator. Take a watch at

So pathetic. Play this clip. So when Elon Musk is furious that he can't get Starlink delivered to folks, when I have Congressman Corey Mills, who has to deploy a mission team to bring 26 systems of Starlink to those who are suffering when the misimprovement

missing persons list is 1500 people before Starlink is brought to them by a sitting member of Congress, not by FEMA. And that, that number goes down to 600. Once communication is able to begin when a member of Congress has to bring 23,

3,000 pounds of supplies when Elon Musk is saying we want to get internet, we want to get connectivity and communication to citizens. We want to bring supplies and yet FEMA is blocking supplies. FEMA is seizing supplies. When I have a senior high school student from Rifle, Colorado, Cody Wyatt, who is driving across country to get supplies because FEMA hasn't been seen in 11 days in North Carolina or

in Pensacola, Florida, when they aren't present, can citizens help? Or is FEMA going to continue to block private citizens and refuse to help those based on their political affiliation? FEMA has never blocked any assistance from moving around any of the states that were impacted. In fact, when Mr. Musk released that statement, we had over 70 citizens

Starlink satellite terminals in and around North Carolina, exceeding what he had already said. For 11 days, Congressman Corey Mills did not see a single FEMA representative or truck. And I have witnesses as well in Florida who did not see any help from FEMA for days. We were on the ground before the disaster started. We'll see in your investigation. You can read in my testimony. We'll see in your investigation if it's ever released. I have details in my testimony, my written testimony that shows our exact response. You can read the details there.

Before I recognize Mr. Morrison, I remember elsewhere on Capitol Hill, you have Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, saying that the Senate is not going to forfeit their advice of their advice and consent function, whereby they hold hearings regarding Donald Trump's nominees. In other words, that it's not just that they're at least she's not just going to let Donald Trump do recess appointees here, play this clip.

I would like to see our committees do their full job. I don't, I'm not interested in a process that would just say, well, because the president has named him and you have Republican chairs coming into the new Congress, we just move people out. There needs to be legitimate vetting. When I say legitimate, I mean just thorough vetting that the committees do. This is our job.

I'm going to do a whole other video on this one right here, but the MAGA Republicans led by Nancy May spent most of the last 48 hours attacking their colleague, Congresswoman McBride. She's from the At-Large District in Delaware. Congresswoman McBride is the first trans woman in Congress, so naturally the MAGA Republicans want to bully Congresswoman McBride and

and make her work environment just entirely impossible. That's how the MAGA Republicans are spending their time, bullying a colleague and a coworker. Play this clip. - One thing I know the left will say in response to what you just said is, well, it's horrific that you were subjected to any abuse or assault, any of it,

um but are you intimating that this new congressman-elect would somehow assault you in the bathroom that would be the argument the the idea of a man walking into a locker room where i'm changing is actually it feels like assault i'm a victim i have actually i actually i have ptsd from the trauma that i have endured at the hands of a man and i absolutely i'm going to stand in the way solidly of any guy that wants to come into our spaces and guess what

Sarah McBride doesn't get a say in this. And I'm not going to succumb or be silenced by bullies online or by the radical left. They lost. They lost big. And I'm going to push back harder than ever before. It should be noted that you see how

flimsy any type of like strain of logic is with these MAGAs. When Trump was in office, their policy at first was transgender people can use whatever bathroom they want was actually what Trump said then. But now that Trump and the MAGAs view bullying the trans community as a winning issue all in on bullying human beings and treating the trans community without basic self-respect.

and mockery and just horrific stuff that you, that we've been hearing. MAGA Republican Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, um, says the, he's asked about Matt Gates's allegations. And, uh, um, you know, we know that there's this very credible ethics report with very specifics about, uh, the allegations of Matt Gates, sex trafficking children. And for Lindsey Graham though, like many MAGA Republicans, it's like, um,

That's just media reports. You can't listen to everything you hear on the media. That's where Lindsey Graham is going. Let's play this clip. These serious allegations involving sexual misconduct of Matt Gaetz, including sex with someone who's underage. Is he qualified to be attorney general? Nobody should be disqualified because of a media report. I've already talked to him. I mean, he just said, listen, he wants a shot to be able to lay out his vision for the department and also to respond to these various allegations and

I said, hey, the confirmation hearing is the place and chance to do that.

And that last comment coming from Senator Josh Hawley, who spoke to Matt Gaetz last week. Gaetz himself also called Lindsey Graham to try to talk to him as well, an effort to try to consolidate Republican support, which is soft at the moment. And tomorrow, Jake, Gaetz, along with Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, will be on Capitol Hill meeting with Republican senators, including Senator John Kennedy, who sits on that key Senate Judiciary Committee, all in an effort to try to get Republicans to fall in line, even as a number of Republicans are concerned about this nomination.

Manu, could we just say in very clear terms, folks, that right now, before our eyes, the MAGA Republicans are doing everything they can to cover up child sex trafficking allegations against someone who Donald Trump appointed, nominated to be attorney general. One of the things that we should learn, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition,

You know, it's great to have great policies that help people, but you got to repeat this stuff over and over again. You got to say it in terms that people understand. You just got to say it. The MAGA Republicans are covering up a sex trafficking allegation against sex.

someone who's being nominated to be attorney general sex trafficking bad sex trafficking children you just have to keep on saying that that's what they're doing republicans support the sex trafficking of children then if they're okay with this that's what republicans support republicans support it gotta repeat it over and over and over again that's just the way it works repetition repetition repetition repetition

uh speaking of these hearings here's uh congress member uh jared moskowitz right here and i i know there's been a lot of people saying you know congress member moskowitz has been you know making some comments about elise stefanik and others and what's going on there um i'll just say this you know congress member moskowitz i think still at these hearings is going to be an important a very very very important asset at these hearings and he's from florida

So in a district that's a swingy type district, but he's an advocate on these hearings for pro-democracy. He really is. Like this. This was him yesterday. This is just an example. I just think we need more of this right now. We are playing this clip. And so-

I do want to say one more thing because I think it's tremendously important for my colleagues across the aisle and my Democratic colleagues. It is so important that we don't allow FEMA to become politicized and that we don't allow disaster aid to become politicized. Laser beams do not start fires in California. We cannot guide where hurricanes go. And you know what? You know who's amplifying that stuff? Foreign accounts.

Other countries are amplifying that stuff on social media to divide us, to divide Democrats and Republicans. They want us fighting over disaster aid because it helps their goal. We can't participate in that. We shouldn't amplify that. Well, anyway, thanks for watching. We're always going to keep you updated about what's going on on the Hill.

This is your destination for that, folks. Hit subscribe. I want to get to 4 million subscribers together. Can we get there together? Hopefully. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.
