Speaker 14 Republican Congress members, senators, Trump cabinet members, they're all getting ruthlessly booed.

Speaker 15 Those who are trying to avoid town halls, they're getting booed at their public appearances.

Speaker 14 Those who are holding town halls, getting ruthlessly booed and mocked at their town halls. The MAGA Republican cabinet members of Donald Trump walking in D.C., they're getting booed.

Speaker 23 People are screaming shame, shame, shame.

Speaker 16 And boy, do these people deserve it.

Speaker 15 Let's take a look right here.

Speaker 24 You have Senator Susan Collins of Maine.

Speaker 23 Shame, shame, shame.

Speaker 8 She shows up at a ribbon cutting because she's been avoiding all of these town halls.

Speaker 16 She did not expect to be met with this, but she should have because you screwed your state.

Speaker 14 You screwed the country.

Speaker 27 But aren't you so concerned, Susan Collins?

Speaker 28 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 28 shame, shame, shame, shame,

Speaker 28 shame, shame, shame, shame,

Speaker 28 shame, shame, shame.

Speaker 17 And here is another angle of her getting ruthlessly booed. She's getting drowned out by booze.

Speaker 4 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 14 And you've got MAGA Republican Congresswoman Ashley Henson.

Speaker 8 She hasn't held a public town hall since May, but she did have time for a fundraiser. Protesters were out there letting her know what they felt about her.

Speaker 8 She's over in Iowa's 2nd congressional district.

Speaker 4 Play this clip.

Speaker 31 And outside of Hawkeye Downs, protesters line the streets saying they want the congresswoman to prioritize free public town halls over pay-to-enter gatherings.

Speaker 32 She

Speaker 32 refuses to make herself available here, including in her office,

Speaker 32 despite many demands for a town hall. But she was able to hold a fundraiser for $40 a ticket.

Speaker 32 I'm not paying to see my representative.

Speaker 31 Ashley Henson's last public town halls in her district were on May 28th.

Speaker 25 Checking back in on Susan Collins, how concerned are you, Susan?

Speaker 28 Here play this clip.

Speaker 13 All right, let's take a look at MAGA Republican Congressmember Josh Brikeen. He's the congressmember from Oklahoma's second congressional district.

Speaker 25 He held a town hall, and just watch as he insults the town hall attendee after he was confronted about his vote to cut medicaid and medicare first brokein denies that there were any cuts and then claims his constituents doesn't have the facts to back up his claim to which his constituents said you might want to read your bill sir here play this clip i grew up on a farm just uh

Speaker 35 over the county lines i was trying to grow up data

Speaker 35 now

Speaker 38 i want to clarify a few points. You can check this on Congress.gov, the text of the point of view of the bill.

Speaker 38 It cuts Medicare by over 50 billion, including over 30 billion. It doesn't touch Medicare.
I think you might want to reread the bill, sir. I've been involved in the process.

Speaker 38 I've been on the bush to me. It doesn't touch Medicare.

Speaker 38 It also cuts me.

Speaker 34 Are you meaning Medicaid?

Speaker 38 I'm also meaning, well, it cuts Medicaid as well. Largely cuts Medicaid, including over $2 billion for the state of Oklahoma.
You have put my hospital at risk, sir.

Speaker 35 I'm a reader of my mosque.

Speaker 38 How easy it is to occur on the job. I'm sure you do too.

Speaker 38 Why should when we can read this and we can read the text of the bill on Congress.gov,

Speaker 38 why should we believe what's in this? Because what you're saying is not true.

Speaker 38 You don't have any facts to back up what you just said.

Speaker 38 I agree with the bill.

Speaker 38 If you don't have facts to guide what you just said, I'm sorry.

Speaker 35 Just not.

Speaker 38 this is a problem when people make statements and they don't have facts to back it up.

Speaker 37 And Congressmember Brokeen held multiple town halls over the past 48 hours.

Speaker 15 Here was another one that he held in Prior, Oklahoma.

Speaker 27 And here a constituent asks him, Can you please explain to us, number one, what does Donald Trump mean when he says he's reducing health care costs by 1400%?

Speaker 24 How is that possible?

Speaker 25 And also, prices are not going down.

Speaker 19 y'all promised you were gonna bring prices down can you explain what's happening to which congressmember burkeen says ma'am ma'am you don't know what you're talking about ma'am Federal government has nothing to do over you you best gotta read your Constitution and the enumerated powers ma'am you see ma'am that this is a state's issue not a federal issue dude what are you talking about have you ever heard of the uh interstate commerce clause Have you ever heard about the fact that Congress has the ability to

Speaker 26 or is solely responsible for tariffs?

Speaker 20 Y'all are the reasons screwing it up.

Speaker 25 Oh, but Congress, the president, nothing to do with it.

Speaker 12 It's the state's fault.

Speaker 39 That's why the prices are going up. And that's why Donald Trump sang 1400%.

Speaker 4 The hell are these people talking about? Play this clip.

Speaker 43 Well, no, I had a couple of related questions. One is

Speaker 43 I've heard President Trump say more than once that he has lowered drug prices by 1,500%.

Speaker 43 I'm not sure how that works. And the other is, can you tell me what specific bills we've passed or worked on that would lower grocery prices? Yeah.

Speaker 42 Well, ma'am,

Speaker 42 you're talking about things relative to state level.

Speaker 42 And so you're mixing federal and state in terms of if you look at what the 18 enumerated powers say, The 18 enumerated powers that every member of Congress holds up their hand, swears an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Speaker 42 And most people who run for Congress don't know those 18 enumerated powers.

Speaker 42 And they don't know the 10th Amendment that says the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states or their people, respectively.

Speaker 42 And so what I'm saying to you is, Oklahoma, if you want to have that conversation about grocery taxes, they've been having that conversation. I'd like to have it with the president.

Speaker 42 Yeah, but what I'm saying is,

Speaker 42 but relative to constitutional authority, in the way that I have my staff analyze things, what we're allowed allowed to do, okay, what we're allowed to do is it has to be under the framework.

Speaker 42 We are given tax status,

Speaker 42 but tell me the federal tax right now on groceries.

Speaker 42 So what I'm saying is, state. You're talking about state.

Speaker 43 Who's next?

Speaker 26 And then Congressmember Burkeen just took a trip to Israel.

Speaker 8 AIPAC has paid this guy over $35,000.

Speaker 30 And he goes, look, I got to do it because of my biblical support of Israel, Genesis 12 and 17. That's why I do it.

Speaker 21 That's why I do it, everybody.

Speaker 19 Where does it mention in the Bible?

Speaker 19 Where does the Bible mention Benjamin Netanyahu committing atrocities in Gaza?

Speaker 30 That's in Genesis 12 and 17.

Speaker 28 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 42 My name is Amanda Dev. This is the little complicated subject.
All right. So lobbying, you get paid by APAC $35,000.
I should not get paid by APAC 35,000. That's what they have it on your Facebook.

Speaker 35 So let me ask you, can I explain to you?

Speaker 42 I'm going to finish, and then you're correct.

Speaker 42 You made a statement. Let me correct it.

Speaker 42 APAC is an organization that supports Israel. Before I ran for Congress, because of my biblical beliefs, I support Israel.
I believe in Genesis 12 and Genesis 17.

Speaker 42 I believe that there is something very special biblically about the covenant with the land of Israel.

Speaker 42 It's not in the Bible. It's not in the Bible.
Let me finish. It doesn't mean I give Israel a pass to do whatever they want to, but I have a biblical

Speaker 44 if there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after drinks with friends, it's with pre-alcohol. Z Biotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.

Speaker 44 It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Now, here's how it works: when you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.

Speaker 44 It's a buildup of this byproduct, not the hydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.

Speaker 44 Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

Speaker 44 Now, every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying.

Speaker 44 Look, I won't lie, I was definitely a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially, but while hanging out with some friends this summer at a bar, I gave it a shot, and believe me, it's the real deal.

Speaker 44 I drank z-biotics before my first espresso martini, and you wouldn't believe how on top top of my game I felt the very next morning. The final days of summer are here for you to enjoy.

Speaker 44 Whether you're heading to the beach, camping in the woods, or squeezing in one last vacation road trip, don't forget to bring Z Biotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink.

Speaker 44 Drink a pre-alcohol before drinking and enjoy every day of summer to the fullest. Go to zbiotics.com slash MIDAS to learn more and get 15% off your first order when you use MIDAS at checkout.

Speaker 8 And then, you know, you can really see what a sicko this guy, Congressman Brikent Burkeen, is.

Speaker 15 He's like, but let me tell you what's really going on here. You got Sharia law.

Speaker 22 Sharia law.

Speaker 8 They're trying to do Sharia in America today.

Speaker 20 They're trying to reestablish the Ottoman Empire in the United States.

Speaker 21 And so God has told me we best stop the Ottoman Empire and all of this Sharia.

Speaker 15 Okay, what are these people talking about?

Speaker 40 Like, what the hell is wrong with these people here?

Speaker 4 Play this clip.

Speaker 42 We've got Sharia law trying to be set up in America today. Absolutely we do.

Speaker 42 You have Sharia law trying to be established in America today. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Brotherhood is the ideology.
and you've got a Turkey president, guys. We cannot go turn into chaos.

Speaker 42 We've been really good to each other today. Turkey has a president who has made statements relative to reestablishing the Ottoman Empire.

Speaker 13 Then a constituent goes to Congress member Burkeen.

Speaker 29 You know, before you even came to this meeting, you went to Israel.

Speaker 26 Okay, like, which is fine.

Speaker 21 But have you visited Canada?

Speaker 18 Have you visited the United Kingdom?

Speaker 16 You just go to Israel.

Speaker 28 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 42 Can I finish? Okay. So, you guys, I mean, whatever APEC paid for congressmen.
Okay, now, last month, before you even come into

Speaker 42 this meeting, you went to Israel. I did go to Israel.
There is no other country allowed to take 40 members or 30 members of Congress, American Congress, to a different country.

Speaker 42 You didn't go to Britain. Did you go to Canada? These are our allies, too.
Did you go to, I don't want you to go live in. I'm Lebanese.
I don't want you to go live. I don't want you to pay live.

Speaker 42 I'm going to Syria. Well, but don't go to Syria.
I've been working on it for for two weeks. You already know about the genocide that's happening in Soweta.

Speaker 42 I follow up with it. I've completely, I can discuss that with you all day.

Speaker 26 Now, this follows a series of town halls.

Speaker 27 We've covered Mike Flood's town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Speaker 4 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 45 My question is: fiscal.

Speaker 45 With $450 million FEMA dollars being reallocated to open Alligator Alcatraz, and $600 million taxpayer FEMA dollars being used to now open more concentration camps and ice burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people.

Speaker 45 How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?

Speaker 19 Congresswoman Hageman of Wyoming's town hall play this clip.

Speaker 46 My question to you was: How do you feel personally of stripping Americans of those foundational tools, those mail-in ballots?

Speaker 47 Mail-in-ballots. Mail-in ballots are not foundational tools.

Speaker 34 You're fully capable of exercising your right to vote without a mail-in ballot.

Speaker 47 You are absolutely fully capable of exercising your right to vote without a ballot.

Speaker 13 MAGA Republican Congressmember LaMalfa in California, play this clip.

Speaker 48 Anybody that voted for the big bull bill,

Speaker 48 watch your language, please, as opposed to

Speaker 48 put that finger down. That's a really good term.

Speaker 33 18,500 pets! Say!

Speaker 33 Say!

Speaker 33 Say!

Speaker 33 Say!

Speaker 48 Say!

Speaker 48 Not cuts for Medicaid slash Medicaid.

Speaker 48 This bill is not going to be the be-all end-all on the whole Medicaid question. This had a portion that had to do with the fiscal under the budget reconciliation rules.

Speaker 48 And so it's not the end of the discussion. People that

Speaker 48 really do need it and are

Speaker 48 eligible under the program, they're not being cut. And the Hawks are the voters don't

Speaker 8 Elise Stefanik, she tried to avoid town halls, but like Susan Collins, she went to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the naming of a government building.

Speaker 29 Stefanik thought that was safe territory for her.

Speaker 25 Sorry, Stefanik, not the case.

Speaker 16 Play this clip.

Speaker 25 Checking back in on Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hagman.

Speaker 40 She's the one who goes around around

Speaker 30 Congress, the halls of the Capitol building, with a lasso.

Speaker 40 She got a lasso.

Speaker 28 Play this clip.

Speaker 49 Who's responsible for establishing tariffs

Speaker 34 in our country?

Speaker 49 Well, right now, the president has taken that authority, but I imagine when we go back in September,

Speaker 48 why

Speaker 49 did he take that authority?

Speaker 34 You're going to have to ask. You guys gave it to him.

Speaker 42 The House of Representatives are responsible for establishing tariffs.

Speaker 35 You gave that to him.

Speaker 34 The next thing I'd like to ask you.

Speaker 42 You look at the bigger picture.

Speaker 46 You're here to take it. Tariffs have raised over $150 billion.

Speaker 49 Inflation has not gone up.

Speaker 35 We inflation has not gone up.

Speaker 8 Checking back in on Mike Flood, his recent town hall, MAGA Republican Congressmember Mike Flood from Lincoln, Nebraska.

Speaker 37 Play this clip.

Speaker 42 It talks about two big changes

Speaker 30 to the Medicaid program.

Speaker 30 One of those changes is that if you are able to work and you are able-bodied,

Speaker 14 You have to work.

Speaker 30 If you choose not to work, you do not get free health care.

Speaker 42 You do not get free health care.

Speaker 42 Okay, okay.

Speaker 42 So here's a question.

Speaker 30 So here's a question.

Speaker 30 Do you think that people who are 28 years old that can work and refuse to work should get free health care?

Speaker 1 I don't think that a majority of Nebraskans agree with you.

Speaker 11 And here he comes, Ped Hegsith in D.C., one of the most loathsome and detestable humans. Ped Hegseth, let's play it.
Same, same,

Speaker 11 same,

Speaker 11 shame, shame,

Speaker 11 shame.

Speaker 15 Folks, the American people are pissed.

Speaker 8 We are pissed that Donald Trump has gutted our health care, that things are not affordable, that prices are going up while Donald Trump claims he solved inflation, which is not taking place.

Speaker 18 As I said before, healthcare being taken away, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security all under attack.

Speaker 22 The world is less safe right now.

Speaker 8 Donald Trump is coddling and sucking up and bootlicking Vladimir Putin and attacking Ukraine. Donald Trump promised he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Speaker 17 And now Trump says, LOL, JK,

Speaker 21 that was just a joke. And same thing with Gaza.
Didn't really mean I was going to solve that. I was being sarcastic about all of those things.

Speaker 21 And then in Washington, D.C., you've got Donald Trump putting his face on buildings, like billboards of himself, like you see in North Korea.

Speaker 18 You have these cabinet meetings, which are like the most embarrassing things to watch, where all of these cabinet people are like, oh, Donald, you're so great.

Speaker 15 We love you, Donald. You're the smartest.
You're the greatest person. Just like the weirdest stuff in the world.

Speaker 21 We've got ice disappearing people off the street.

Speaker 36 We got all of that going on.

Speaker 41 We have concentration camps. We have Alligator Alcatraz.

Speaker 40 People are livid right now, and people are showing how they feel.
