See how far our fries can take your business@surecrisp.com delivery finally, we're seeing Democrats push back against MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives. The Democratic Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, held a press conference and here's what he had to say about MAGA extremists. Let's play it. That includes wall funding given that the President previously said that the wall will be paid for by Mexico. What we've seen repeatedly amongst my extreme mag of Republican colleagues is that they say one thing to the American people before the election and then do something different after the election. The House Republicans said they were going to protect Social Security and Medicare and so did their presidential nominee. And now we learn after the election that House Republicans are planning to try to cut Medicare and Social Security and end it as we know it. House Republicans said before the election that they were focused on improving the quality of life of working class Americans, but after the election they're focused on tax cuts for the wealthy, the well off and the well connected. Then Democratic Congress member Hakeem Jeffries continued and talked about the only mandate that really exists after this election is that people are worried about the prices of things and the MAGA policies are only going to raise people's prices. Play this clip with the election behind Nelson, considering it's now already the end of the year, how do you envision the future of Democratic Party? Well, you know, we look forward to continuing to do the people's business in the new Congress and as we've repeatedly indicated, we're going to fight hard to make a difference in the lives of the American people. To the extent that there was any mandate that has emerged from this most recent election, it is that the American people want us to work hard to lower the high cost of living and to bring down grocery prices, gas prices, the cost of childcare and housing costs. And that will be a focus of House Democrats as we move forward. Let's talk about what Hakeem Jeffries also said during this press conference. He said, look, all these MAGA Republicans, this is going to be a very, very close majority to House Republicans to Democrats 217 to 215 right now after Democrats flipped some red seats blue. Take a look at what Democratic Congress member Hakeem Jeffries says here. Let's play the clip on the Doge proposal here. Should Democrats be more involved in this? Are you disappointed that Mr. Musk and Ramaswamy didn't come to meet with you? Do you think that the opportunities here, that their political appetite is bigger than their parliamentary stomach when it comes to getting some of these things done? Yeah. It's unclear to me what exactly the objective is related to this so called Doge initiative. From our perspective, we want a federal government that is effective and efficient and equitable. And to the extent the other side of the aisle shares that objective, which is what is right for the American people, then we'll see if there's common ground. That's possible. But does it worry you about the idea that they're doing this just with these two guys who aren't part of the government, who don't have experience directly in understanding discretionary, non discretionary spending? And therefore, should Democrats be directly involved and say, look, you know, we don't want waste, fraud and abuse, but Democrats will, of course, have to be directly involved to the extent that there is any legislative aspect of this. And we will by necessity be engaged because it's clear that the incoming House Republican majority will not be able to do much without us. Look, the MAGA Republicans in the House today are kind of demonstrating that what Hakeem Jeffers is saying is correct. They're showing that they're just not going to do anything at all and just pursue again these ridiculous witch hunts. Here you have Congresswoman Millio Takis, MAGA Republican congresswoman here. She talks about we're still going to be our main priority is we're focusing on Hunter Biden still. Hunter Biden, really. Play the clip. Our investigation must continue, I believe, to let the American people know the truth, even if these pardons are taking place. You know, Congressman, everything you said is really important the American people, because the media didn't cover then watchdogs have been criticizing them for not covering what you've been talking about for a long time. And the other thing, too is the wording of the U.S. constitution shows it's unconstitutional to do preemptive pardons. Show the wording of the Constitution. It doesn't see anything. It says pardons for offenses, not future offenses or potential offenses down the road. That means Biden's blanket pardon, Hunter Biden, can be challenged and thrown out in court. I agree, and I think it should be. And I think that you'll see members from the Oversight Committee and other committees that have worked so diligently on this try to seek out those, those arguments. Because then you had MAGA Republican Congress member Chip Roy saying, look, all of these sex assault and rape allegations against Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's picked to be the secretary of defense, according to this MAGA Republican congressman. He goes, hasn't everybody done that? Doesn't everybody have indiscretions like that here? Play the clip. Pete Hegset was an exceptional pick. I know he's under fire over the Senate, but he's under fire from squishy senators who have been against everything we want to do. And so I hope Pete holds the line all the way through. I'm defending him and we should all defend him. You know, look, we've all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that. Every human has. But good grief, Pete exeth I you know, he's got the support of so many people and he represents somebody who would take on the defense establishment. And we need that, desperately need that Bobby Kennedy. You and I disagree with Bobby Kennedy on a lot of things, Charlie. Life in particular. But Bobby Kennedy represents somebody who would shake up the health care establishment Need a break from crowded stores and endless holiday gift lists?

Take a look at what the House Republicans are doing Today on the House floor, looks like they're tackling one of the most important issues the country's facing this morning. Of course, I'm being sarcastic, as was Aaron Rupert who wrote that teaching the dangers of communism in schools, that's what MAGA Republicans are focusing on, passing performative legislation like that. Also, it should be noted that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with MAG Republicans in the House yesterday, talked about cutting your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That's what they reported. That's what's being reported on Fox, that that's what they're going to do. It's all on the table. Your Social Security, your Medicare, your Medicaid. Say goodbye. Play the clip. Nothing is psychosocial. Nothing. They're going to put everything on the table. That's what they told lawmakers. Everything is on the table and that includes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Also on the Hill today, MAGA Republican Senator Kevin Krame suggesting that the allegations against Pete Hegseth, including the letter by Hegseth's mommy about you're an abuser of women, son, and you need help, that this is all part of an elaborate smear campaign here. Play this clip. Performance keep coming forward. But do you expect that there will be more pop ups concerning this confirmation? Well, it's interesting because clearly over the course of time, Democrats have and the left have become more aggressive in terms of smear campaigns. You know, there was the Brett Kavanaugh one, which was a single person, you know, she came forward, you know, and revealed herself. But they've sort of taken this tactic now where you find that a few things exaggerate them, you know, pile on, if you will, over the course of time. So do I expect that? Sure, there very well could be. But one of the most important questions, maybe the most important question I asked Pete was are there any surprises? Because in our business, surprises kill you. You know, Pete not having experience in politics, God love him. And he said we've racked our brains and thought through it. Can't think of anything else that could come up that unless, unless somebody makes something up. So finally, one of the topics on the Hill as well is Cash Patel, Donald Trump picked to be FBI director. Here is a supercut right here. Cash Patel saying how he agrees a lot with the QAnon movement here. Play the clip. Patel has dipped his toe into this QAnon world a bit over the years, has flirted with us on Truth Social. There's a Q account. Whether or not it's the real Q I'm not going to get into. Are you a Q Like? No. So like everything else, you have to have fun with it. The Q thing is a movement. A lot of people attach themselves to it. I disagree with a lot of what that movement says, but I agree with what a lot of that movement says. The QAnon movement has long been associated with radicalization and hate, and QAnon iconography was seen throughout the January 6th mob. Is that Tony O'Sullivan Q has posted how many times? 4,967 times Q posted about Kash Patel? Yes, twice. And said Kashyap Patel, a name to remember. Q has been so right on so many things. I'll get off that subject. No, he has. And I agree with you. He has. He has. And you got to take A. You got to harness that following that that Q has garnered and just sort of tweak it a little bit. That's all I'm saying. Well, there you have it folks. You see Democrats fighting back. You see what they're fighting against.
