1
Buckle up for this one, folks.
2
Our country is under siege.
3
That's right.
4
The experiment known as MAGA is dead and yet they will not go down without a fight.
5
Donald Trump has profited billions of dollars while president
6
and he is now threatening investigations at the oversight committee whose job is to investigate the president.
7
The president doesn't get to choose which investigations are valid.
8
That's not how checks and balances work.
9
I've got all of the updates on this insane story.
10
My name's Dave Neal, host here of the Rush Hour podcast,
11
and I'm going to show you how compromised the White House is in all of the tentacles that it goes down to,
12
including the Department of Warhead Pete Hegseth.
13
A total betrayal has just happened.
14
We covered it in the last video.
15
Pete Hegseth got let off the hook when it comes to the impeachment because 11
16
Democrats didn't show up.
17
So I'm going to share with you guys what the president is saying with regards to his threats, why we're getting just, I mean,
18
absolutely heroic responses from the oversight
19
Democrats literally saying, come at me, bro.
20
Really?
21
You're going to threaten us?
22
Well, you better lawyer up.
23
We've got all of this and more happening right now.
24
But check this out.
25
Here we have
26
Representative Horsford, a Democrat from Nevada, explaining why he missed the vote to impeach Pete Hegseth.
27
And again, it's all dog ate my homework nonsense.
28
I would have voted no on the Republican motion to refer
29
so that the House could proceed to a vote on Secretary Hegseth's impeachment.
30
I would have voted no, but I couldn't have.
31
And of course, he took a quarter million dollars from pro -Israel PACs.
32
Now, again, the pro -Israel PACs are not allowing these compromised
33
Democrats to vote to impeach the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth because they're all in on it.
34
They're all in on the war machine.
35
The US is fighting a war on behalf of Israel and Iran.
36
It's ridiculous.
37
And this is like their last dying stand
38
that they have to try to keep that war going so
39
that we can protect a foreign country from business they're starting and that they're embroiled in.
40
It's so insanely corrupt.
41
And that's not even what this video is about.
42
This video is about the insanity of the president threatening the oversight.
43
So Trump tweeted this a couple days ago, and it only gets worse.
44
The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the attorney general of the United States and others,
45
with impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so.
46
So the president's calling oversight threats.
47
Oh, they're coming after me.
48
Yeah, no duh.
49
You've made billions of dollars.
50
You've done government contracts to companies that literally came out of nowhere that your sons are invested in.
51
I mean, literally, mines in Kazakhstan.
52
Don Jr. knows all about mines in Kazakhstan.
53
The war machine, the money he's going to make with Jared Kushner in New Gaza.
54
They're bulldozing the lives of all of these deceased, the people that literally had a genocide committed against them so
55
that they can rise up a couple skyrises and have beachfront property.
56
The crimes are there.
57
It's not like they're kicking the tire this isn't a fishing expedition.
58
The crimes of the president are there.
59
Here we have the Republicans going down with the ship.
60
They are so upset that the will of the people was met a week ago.
61
A generational revolution from sea to shining sea.
62
The blue tsunami swept from coast to coast and now they say, well, you better get it out of your system.
63
We're coming for all of you.
64
We lost last Tuesday and I take it personally as do my colleagues.
65
I fought for these seats as the NRCC chair and work like hell to keep them as the majority whip.
66
We're going to do it again.
67
Over the next two years, we will regain the trust and confidence of the American people so we can build back our majority in 2028.
68
And we'll gain the confidence of the American people by holding these crooks accountable.
69
Now, he's got Jim Jordan next to him, who's been part of that, I think it was Ohio State or is it
70
Michigan, I don't even know, scandal where he helped allegedly cover up a ton of crimes that were happening.
71
And again, Jim Jordan, who's standing next to him there, has been a politician for several decades.
72
He's never got one bill passed.
73
He's literally done nothing.
74
He's a barnacle on the ship of progress.
75
This idea that the Republicans are going to gain support over the next few years, the insurgency is happening on the left.
76
The insurgency is happening because we're looking at our own leadership
77
and calling them out for the money they're taking from foreign countries in order to dodge, have medical emergencies.
78
My car broke down.
79
My dog ate my homework.
80
I got long COVID.
81
I took the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and I had a stroke.
82
Who the hell knows what they're trying to do?
83
But it's rubbish.
84
We're not buying it.
85
And the Republicans aren't digging themselves out of this one.
86
To our colleagues on the left.
87
Enjoy this honeymoon phase.
88
We will.
89
Because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot.
90
House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat.
91
So these aren't threats?
92
You know what I mean?
93
All we've got is the oversight committee saying, hey, we want to investigate the billions of dollars
94
Trump made in crypto scams and all of that nonsense.
95
They blew some fishermen out of the water.
96
Several hundred are dead schoolgirls in Iran.
97
We just want to investigate that.
98
You'll rue the day you ever try to hold accountability.
99
Shut the hell up, bitch.
100
Republicans will hold each and every
101
Democrat accountable for every vote cast, every committee hearing held, and every sentence set on MSDNC.
102
This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies
103
and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are.
104
Now, I don't know if I want to give
105
Representative Emmer here enough credit.
106
It just feels like he's reading what
107
Trump made him say.
108
The DNC, MSB, LBGQ +, what the hell?
109
They're losing their fastball.
110
This is the party that's losing power.
111
They've got no power.
112
You'll rue the day.
113
Shut the hell up, you old bastard.
114
We will expose every empty promise that they made to voters.
115
We lost last Tuesday.
116
We lost last Tuesday, and we're going to hold you accountable.
117
All right, sure.
118
Bring that back to your constituents.
119
What a loser.
120
Insane.
121
Sending this letter just says they're doing illegal shit and don't want it investigated.
122
Let the subpoenas fly in January.
123
Yeah, I want that country song.
124
Let subpoenas fly.
125
Let them fly.
126
Like bald eagle.
127
I want a subpoena biting.
128
I want a bald eagle biting a subpoena.
129
Just dropping it off.
130
And then they shit on Mike Johnson on the way out.
131
Dear Congressman Garcia, this is from Donald Trump's lawyers.
132
I want to remind you of the foundational limits that the Constitution imposes on congressional investigations and subpoenas, which you and members of the new
133
Congress have evinced a clear intent to transgress.
134
That's using AI.
135
Make me sound smart, Grock.
136
The Supreme Court has held that investigations conducted solely for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators
137
or to punish those investigated are indefensible.
138
No, you punish people that commit crimes.
139
They've lost the plot here
140
Literally everybody knows
141
Everybody that was on the left
142
From Candace Owens to Megyn Kelly to Scaramucci They all understand
143
Trump is committing crimes
144
These are crimes
145
He will be punished
146
His family will be punished
147
We are monitoring the abusive and capricious threats
148
That are now proliferating from Democratic legislators
149
Who seek to abuse the legislative process
150
So again, it just sounds like someone who's writing a report in high school
151
and they just need to have filler words to sound smart.
152
Representative -elect Ojeda wants to see
153
Secretary Hegseth squirm.
154
Who cares whether he squirms or not?
155
You know what I mean?
156
Accountability is all that matters.
157
While Representative -elect Padilla Stout told witnesses to put makeup on for the cameras at the hearings.
158
Again, who cares?
159
You know, Pete Hegseth literally put together a makeup station at the Oval Office.
160
They better use it you want to look good when you're getting cuffed and walked into jail.
161
Others have made clear that their motive is to pave the way for witnesses to be prosecuted by state or federal authorities.
162
And again, they're trying to use the lawyer up sort of propaganda as a, like that they're weaponizing this retribution.
163
They're not weaponizing.
164
They're telling you to lawyer up because you're going to need a lawyer for all the crimes you committed that
165
Republicans weren't holding you accountable for.
166
When you launched your lawyer up campaign, you prominently featured an image of a courtroom gavel set to the tune of a song called The End.
167
You have repeatedly accused the president and administration officials of criminal activity
168
and have openly touted
169
that you are in contact with state attorneys generals to get
170
information using the House Oversight Committee for the purpose of taking administrative officials through, hold on, through the court system for prosecution.
171
Yeah, that's how it works.
172
You commit crimes, you get investigated, You get charged.
173
You get the consequences of your action.
174
They finish.
175
The Trump administration expects members of Congress to discharge their investigative functions within settled constitutional limits.
176
The administration will not be extorted and will not be cowed by unlawful process motivated by animus, pettiness, hatred, or any other unlawful motive to intimidate,
177
penalize, or interfere with the lawful functioning of government.
178
You know, I get accused of having
179
Trump derangement syndrome.
180
And, you know, it's really not the case.
181
I don't hate the man.
182
you know, whatever you can, I don't care about the man.
183
It's the policies.
184
It is what he has done that I have a problem with.
185
So as far as things being unlawful, being motivated by animus or pettiness, there is nobody who's been more petty.
186
then the president of the United States.
187
He literally created a wall of portraits all to make fun of Joe Biden.
188
And rather than put
189
Biden's photo up, he has a photo of an auto pen.
190
You know, nobody is more petty than Donald Trump.
191
This isn't pettiness.
192
This is called consequence.
193
You know, so many of us can't go back to our families on Thanksgiving
194
and look each other in the eye because we see family members that fell into this MAGA spell, that drank the MAGA Kool -Aid,
195
that have these crazy conspiracies.
196
Oh, the rapture's coming, so we have to...
197
Shut the hell up.
198
Trump divided us because that's all he knows how to do, divide and conquer.
199
And now we are duct taping this constitution back together at the very least by investigating
200
and getting on the record all of the Trump crime family and everybody around it, from Elon Musk to Pam Bondi, from C to Shining C.
201
You will be investigated that's what our tax dollars will go to we will also bring back affordability end wars
202
and all of these other things we're going to get universal health care
203
while also having Jared Kushner answer for the billions of dollars he took from the Saudi government money
204
that he washed through a bank in Azerbaijan that has been all
205
but proved by spies in Russia that colluded with the Dutch spies they released this
206
and if there's no truth to it then
207
that will come out in court but all of the evidence is pointing to crimes being committed,
208
not a phishing expedition, not a let's get into your iCloud and then find the crimes.
209
The crimes exist.
210
You accidentally put journalists in a signal chat.
211
You're not supposed to be doing government activities like war on a signal chat.
212
There has to be accountability.
213
Ranking member Robert Garcia released a statement on new
214
White House Council threats.
215
We'll get to this after a quick word from our sponsor.
216

And when Quince asks where you heard about them, let them know it was the Rush Hour with Dave Neal.
229
It's the best way to support the show.
230
All right, so I've got the response by Robert Garcia.
231
I've also got what I believe to be is going to be the clip of the day,
232
which is Representative Stephen Lynch from South Boston, a .k .a.
233
Southie Kid.
234
He goes all Boston.
235
Let me tell you something.
236
There's two Bostons.
237
There's the side working for the government, and then there's the mob side, you know, the Whitey Bulger kid.
238
And this is the government coming after Trump.
239
Maybe there's a little
240
Boston versus New York energy happening.
241
But when I share that beautiful chef's kicks accent, that depotted, kind of like, dude, you better get in line, kid, because we're coming after you.
242
I'm the chairman for a reason, son.
243
When I get to this, you're going to enjoy the energy and vigor that they're presenting.
244
But first, Robert Garcia, ranking member, his response.
245
Today, Representative Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight in Government Reform,
246
released the following statement after the White House sent a letter to oversight
247
Democrats threatening to infringe upon the committee's constitutionally protected right to conduct congressional oversight.
248
It appears Donald Trump has something to hide.
249
Let's be clear, Congress authority comes from Article 1 of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House.
250
Congress has wide latitude to conduct investigations and oversight and authority inherent in the power to legislate.
251
The American people voted unanimously for us to pass laws to root out corruption and abuse.
252
The Trump administration continues to weaponize the government with threats of unconstitutional attacks on Congress.
253
We are a co -equal branch of government.
254
It will not be deterred by baseless threats from a weaponized DOJ or from the president's lawyers.
255
It's my guess that the president's trying to make a constitutional crisis out of this.
256
He's hoping he'll get bailed out by the Supreme Court, which is heavily leaning in his favor.
257
Although the Supreme Court has shown their ability to turn on Trump.
258
They have.
259
Maybe it was politically convenient, although it's the Supreme Court's not supposed to be political, but of course everything is now.
260
Maybe it was politically convenient to side with Trump on certain issues, but they have held up the fort in times of need.
261
Trump's about to die.
262
He's an old man.
263
Some of these folks on the Supreme Court will be around for decades.
264
Do they really want to destroy democracy?
265
My guess is no. these
266
investigations will go on uh so and
267
and the only question is is trump like anything else like
268
with the epstein files is he trying to kick the can down the road long enough
269
that he just avoids accountability here's representative stephen lynch again from southey kid telling us uh dude uh
270
we're gonna keep on with these investigations if what i'm reading
271
if this is a if this letter if this new
272
if this position from the white house is now meaning
273
that the administration may go after
274
you you all democrats who are conducting investigations in the new congress what do you do about that
275
well come at me bro you know i just think we are
276
so well uh situated come at me do our jobs what
277
what they're saying is don't do your jobs don't do oversight don't check on the administration of the government obviously
278
we pass laws and and the president habitually
279
violates those laws so we believe we have the the right
280
and we have been empowered expressly in the Constitution to make sure
281
that the president obeys the law this is you want to do a good
282
Boston accent you turn an o into an aw we're doing a job kid
283
and then yeah and then you hit
284
that T really hard I'm the chair of the oversight what are you talking like the basic and
285
so bad accent that's the core function the oversight committee is the primary investigative committee in the house of representatives
286
and we we are going to do our jobs i and i
287
and i speak on behalf of of the chairman in this respect as well
288
i am sure we're going to do our job
289
and you can't stop us uh
290
and we're going to take you to southey going to make you eat a bowl of clam chowder
291
and we're going to hold you accountable for all the crimes
292
you committed you dirty bastard all right you love to see it that's what they're doing
293
and by again i know i've been a little heavy on the ads lately
294
but we got quince this week
295
and i i wear i'll probably wear
296
this shirt to my show tonight in atlanta my quince uh pearl snap shirt i got i'm
297
so lucky to uh have quince all next year as sponsors
298
so uh you know we got to support the folks
299
that keep the channel thriving you know what i mean i do
300
and i do have to tell you i did turn down what would have been a twenty thousand
301
I'm not saying this out of a point of pride.
302
It was a sad day, but I turned down the gambling money, 20 grand.
303
I turned down the AI money.
304
That's right.
305
Grok, literally, they were like, can we have Grok advertised on your channel?
306
And I was like, I don't think so.
307
Our president is literally being investigated for using
308
Twitter's AI in order to run a war.
309
Like, again, I'm not telling anyone to commit violent acts, but if people started blowing up data centers, I'm looking my other way.
310
I'm like, what, what, what was that?
311
A data center blew up?
312
Well, I got to go do some laundry.
313
I mean, I like, it's one of those things.
314
We all use AI, like it's fine, whatever, but like we could all go without it.
315
And we're, and again, I just say that because do the investigations, end the wars and maybe blow up a data center.
316
I'm not telling you to do that.
317
I'm not going to investigate you if that happens.
318
Am I allowed to say that?
319
We'll talk to you guys later.
320
I'm Dave and this is The Rush.

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
