00:00What he did is despicable.
00:13We need a complete and thorough investigation, both by the IG within DOD, but also the Senate
00:20and the House.
00:22The Senate Democrats and Republicans should look into this and have a full investigation.
00:27Republicans should not turn their head the other way with something so serious.
00:52They constantly try to divert attention because what they're doing is so unpopular with the
00:57American people.
00:59Cutting Social Security, cutting Medicare, cutting Medicaid, all to give taxes to their
01:05wealthy, wealthy friends is very unpopular.
01:08So they're constantly looking for smokescreens.
01:11Yes.
01:12It is outrageous to even think of defunding the courts.
01:28The courts are the bulwark against Trump and the Republicans can't stand it.
01:32But that's our system of laws.
01:34We will fight in every way to keep funding the courts.
01:37Yes.

01:55Tell that to the millions of people who are not getting answers, who have their offices
02:00closed so they can't get their checks.
02:03They are so wrong on Social Security.
02:06We thought they had learned their lesson.
02:08They have not.
