What this episode is about

During a heated congressional hearing, MAGA Republicans attempted to divert attention from pressing economic issues affecting Americans by focusing on alleged fraud in Minnesota, but their efforts backfired as Democratic representatives effectively countered their arguments. Amidst the chaos, key moments highlighted the disconnection of GOP members from the realities faced by everyday citizens, with Democrats strategically exposing their tactics as a distraction from significant national concerns.

Key takeaways

  • While MAGA fixates on alleged fraud, Americans grapple with real issues: rising costs and wage stagnation.
  • The irony? Republicans dodge accountability on Trump's pardons while decrying fraud they have to confront themselves.
  • In a circus of accusations, it’s the clowns in the room scared to raise their hands that steal the show.
  • Calling out conspiracies while perpetuating them shows a spectacular level of cognitive dissonance from these lawmakers.
  • As democracy flounders, MAGA's fixation on distraction proves one thing: the biggest frauds often wear the shiniest badges.

Total chaos broke out during congressional hearings where MAGA Republicans did not want to focus on the issues that are crushing the American people right now like affordability, like people are living paycheck to paycheck, being psychologically tortured if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck. Instead, what MAGA Republicans wanted to focus on was fraud in Minnesota, which was largely being prosecuted by the former Biden DOJ with the key architect of that fraud being a white lady who was prosecuted. But this is what MAGA wanted to focus on. Let me be very clear. Fraud needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But the biggest fraudster is the one living in the White House right now or Mara Lago or wherever the hell he's at. He certainly doesn't know where he's living based on the cognitive decline that we're seeing. I think he thinks that he's living in Imperial Rome as he

tries to destroy our country, playing the fiddle like Nero as our country burns. But you'll see as Democrats completely turn the table on the MAGA Republicans during this hearing. And so the MAGA Republicans call in their fellow MAGA Republican colleagues from Minnesota. Mind you, on the very same day that Trump's Ice Gustapo murdered a United States citizen in South Minneapolis, let me show you what goes down when Democratic Congress member Maxwell Frost is cross-examining the MAGAR Republican representatives from Minnesota who were called by the MAGA Republicans in DC to try to propagandize and distract the American people from Trump's cover up of the Epstein files and Donald Trump's cover up of the disastrous economy here that he's causing. to 99% of the American people.

Watch what goes down here. Play this clip. That's great. Do you think it's appropriate for the president of the United States?

I am not going to engage in the silly condemnation game. No. context in a contain state of Virginia. I will reclaim my time and their mother's arms. I'm not playing this game. Your gentlemen will stop talking on my order. Order. Order. Next up, you have Democratic Congresswoman Ansari. Watch as she cross-examines the MAGA Republican state representative from Minnesota, Christine Robbins, and others, and says, "Can people here raise their hand if you think it's appropriate that Donald Trump is spreading conspiracies that Governor Walls murdered the Hortman's, Melissa Hortman, the former speaker of the House in Minnesota, and her husband? Do you think that's acceptable behavior?" None of the Republicans raised their hands to say that they thought it was unacceptable because they are so fearful of upsetting their dear fearer, their dear leader, their head of the Gustapo who's killing citizens in their states. Watch what

goes down here. Play this clip. Um, so I want to start with this question for the lawmakers here from Minnesota. As you know, Donald Trump has been posting these conspiracy theories about the linking Governor Walls to the killing of your former speaker and insinuating that Governor Walls had something to do with it. Can you please raise your hand if you think this is an appropriate action by the president of the United States? Raise your hand, please.

I'm not doing a raise your hand. I'm happy to comment on that. Sure. Is it appropriate for the president to do that? So the person who murdered our colleague, Speaker Melissa Horman and her husband Mark appropriate for the president of the United States

evidence saying violence against his governor was ordering him to do it. I know the facts will come out in the case and we need to be respectful of the Hortman family and we need to let this play out in the courts.

That is unacceptable. It is un inappropriate to the highest degree for the president of the United States to be sharing conspiracy theories that are obviously going to lead to violence directed at Governor Tim Walls.

Next, I'll share with the US Democratic Congresswoman Presley also then says, "Okay, you want to talk about fraud? Let me show you some examples of fraud." So, she shows George Santos, for example. Watch this. Play this clip. That is not the standard that is being set by Donald Trump, who is wielding his clemency authority to allow fraudsters to escape accountability alltogether. Last month, my office published a clemency report titled Trump's clemency gap. How Trump's pardons are ignoring the people who need them the most. I ask unanimous consent to enter this into the record.

Thank you. Now, to the witnesses who serve in the Minnesota State Legislature on the fraud prevention committee, let's walk through these pardons for fraudsters, and we all care about fraud. So, Miss Robbins, Mr. Hudson, and Miss Raric, Donald Trump pardoned George Santos, who defrauded voters and owed them $370,000 in restitution to victims. Raise your hand if you oppose this pardon. Thank you, Mr. Bow. Ma'am, I would have to look at the law and the facts of the case. We cannot we cannot know the facts of all these individual cases.

Don't don't deflect. This is a very public case. You know who George Santos is. You know exactly what he did. We just agreed that you know fraud is unacceptable. Um and so and you just talked about accountability. You said if people commit pro fraud and exploit the public good that they should be incarcerated. So this is not a complicated question. So, I will give you all one more opportunity. Miss Robbins, Mr. Hudson, and Miss Raric. Raise your hand if you oppose the pardon of George Santos.

Not playing this game. It's not a game. It's real life. It's not a game at all. Okay. Well, I will take your your refusal to go on record, not only as cowardice, but that you do agree with that pardon of that fraudster. Moving on. Donald Trump also gave, this has never been done before, presidential pardons to corporations that committed fraud. One example is the crypto company BitMEX that violated US law and was fined $100 million. Now, raise your hand if you oppose Trump's pardon of this crypto company,

not participating. Thank you, Mr. Belaloo. Okay. Again, I'll take your refusal uh to not res to raise your hand in opposition. And that means that you support this pardon of this uh corporation that frauded uh folks to the tune of $100 million.

Refusal to participate is not an expressing my time. Reclaiming my time to participate is not an expression one way or the other.

The rules of committee. This is my time. I know that I am here as a member of the public.

Reclaiming my time. You are not Mr. Chair. That's what I know. You are not in order with the rules of the committee. This is my time. This is my time. questions than you answer, but you're too much of a coward to answer. So, we're going to move on.

Now, actually, I should show you that full clip of Congress member Maxwell Frost cross-examining these MAGA witnesses. Watch it. Play this clip.

And I have one more thing I want to talk about that Representative Onsari brought up. President Trump reposted conspiracy theories on his Truth Social account about the murder of Minnesota State Legislators Mark and Melissa Hortman that suggests that Minnesota Governor Tim Walls had the Hortman's assassinated. Governor Wall says this behavior will get more innocent people killed and the Hortman children have come out on the president and said and called on the president uh to take the statements down. I think it is very important that we are very clear that we condemn this type of behavior. So I just want to go down the line and hear if you agree with the Hortman children that we should condemn and we ask the president to take down this post. Uh Mr. uh Bayou.

Yes, representative. So, as the longest serving member on this panel of Minnesota, I am so offended that anybody would accuse anybody of the assassination other than Lance Bolter because this was a deep scar in the state of Minnesota and all of us personally. I served with Melissa my entire 13 years that is just unbelievably beyond the pale.

Do you agree that we should we should call on the president, take down the post? That's it.

I said what I said. I think that it's beyond the pale that anybody Okay. You can't come to call the president take down the post. It's okay. We'll move on. We'll move on. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. We'll move on. You can't call the president, take down this post. Um, we'll move on to Representative Hudson. It's just a yes or no.

I cannot deceive the committee by giving it a binary. I have spoken to this many times. I have uh renounced the content of these ridiculous conspiracy theories and I've called them ridiculous under multiple occasions.

That's great. You think it's appropriate for the president of the United States?

I am not going to engage in the silly condemnation game. in context in a contain state of Virginia. I'll reclaim my time about my time. I will reclaim my time. Gentlemen, your mother's arms. I'm not playing this game. Gentlemen will stop talking on my order. Order. Or order. We'll we'll give you a few seconds to close. Mr. Frost,

I have to comment on this because this is not silly. It is not silly to expect good behavior from the people at the highest levels of our government.

Jones, not your time. Do you expect from J? Not your time. Including the president of the United States. I yield back.

Then you had Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee turn the tables on MAGA Republican James Comr. Watch this. Just yesterday, Trump also froze approximately 10 billion in funding for programs supporting child care, social services, grants, and cash assistance. And not only Minnesota, but in other Democratic le states of California, Colorado, New York, and Illinois. No matter what party we're elected to, we represent the people of our district, Democrat or Republican. We represent as the federal government all people of all states, irrespective of how they voted.

That's the charge that I took, and I would like and hope that you all would do the same. When so many of these social service programs are being gutted and defunded, fraud becomes even more harmful as that means even less money is going to people who need it. People need these programs. This situation should be an opportunity to take a deep look at the programs and improve their oversight abilities, not an excuse to cut them entirely. If we care about the most vulnerable, if we care about the most marginalized, this is an opportunity to do so. And I welcome us to actually do that one day. Um, thanks. I yel back.

Miss Lee, the IG's are hired to identify fraud. They haven't identified fraud. The IG's have failed. But anyway,

you all have failed. You all continue to fail. We've done nothing. You have the gavl, Mr. Karma. We barely do hearings on anything that actually AFFECTS YOU. YOU HAVE POWER HERE AND YET YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING.

YES, he actually initiated this, sir. Thank you so much for your opinion. You have failed.

I yield it back. And look at this incredible moment where Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stanberry, you know, uh we think that she's so great. Both her and Congresswoman Lee are amazing. Here's uh Congresswoman Stanberry torching James Comr. Play this clip.

And you all are sitting here running legislation on showerheads while millions of Americans health insurance is expiring. While millions of Americans can't even put food on the table right now. And you're over here parading around state officials, demonizing immigrants, talking about cutting basic programs, and you're passing legislation to redefine showerheads in Congress while the president of the United States is illegally invading foreign countries.

Order gentle ladies times expire. I find it appalling times. Then the Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee who's been doing an incredible job, Congress member Garcia. Watch what he says. Play this clip. We should fight fraud when people rip off programs designed to help working families. And also, we should fight fraud when large corporations and wealthy individuals dodge their own taxes and rig the system for their own benefit.

[snorts] And especially we should fight fraud when figures in our government, particularly those in power within the White House or our agencies, get rich and profit from their offices. Fraud is never acceptable and it undermines public trust whoever commits it. But [snorts] let's remember that some of the worst fraud and corruption is actually found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Republicans like to talk about fraud in states with Democratic governors, oftentimes exclusively. But Republicans also have a president who has pardoned or reduced jail time for 25 criminals convicted of fraud in this year alone. Now, some of these fraud s have made also huge campaign contributions to Donald Trump. And worst of all, Trump's pardons mean that these criminals can avoid paying back more than $1 billion dollar which they owe their victims and dwarfs much of the fraud that the House majority wants to

talk about today. This is actually the opposite of accountability. Instead, the House majority wants to excuse and cut programs, which they have done from the start. Now, Donald Trump's signature law cut money for healthcare and food programs. Medicaid and CHIP helped almost half the kids in the United States. see a doctor and that we lost of course a trillion dollars in those programs. Over 10 million people could lose health care. Trump's law also cut 40 million people who use SNAP. And this includes, by the way, one out of every five kids. And this is happening not just in Minnesota. The president plans to freeze more than 10 billion for child care subsidies, social services, and cash support for lowincome families in Minnesota, New York, Colorado, Illinois, and my home state of California. Of course, we know these states have Democratic governors that Donald Trump wants to punish, and we should look at

those consequences if we want to talk about fraud. In Minnesota, which we're talking about today, Donald Trump is removing childcare funding for the entire state. That frozen funding provides child care for over 18,000 kids. These kids didn't commit fraud. So, I want to know why they should be punished. Last night, he said he's withholding all possibly Medicaid funds from Minnesota, which could harm one in five residents. Now, in New York, another state he's threatening, that's over 66,000 innocent kids, while pardoning, of course, 25 fraudsters and robbing victims of over $1 billion.

Donald Trump should have to face the kids and parents who will be hurt even though they've done nothing wrong. I want to know what the president and the House majority expect the parents of these kids to do. You know that pressure this time of year where it suddenly feels like you need a whole new wardrobe just to keep up with the weather and half the stuff you buy falls apart the second you actually need it. Hoodies especially. This time of year, a good hoodie is essential, but it can be tough to find one that will last through the season. That's why I'm obsessed with the American Giant Classic Full Zip Hoodie.

The American Giant Classic FullZip hoodie is made to last a lifetime so you can count on it to bring you comfort and warmth year after year. Slate magazine called it the greatest hoodie ever made. And from cotton to zipper, it's made right here in the USA. I've been wearing mine constantly, and the first thing you notice is the quality, the weight of the fabric, the stitching, the zipper. Everything feels intentionally made. And the longer I've had it, the better it's gotten. Softer, but still incredibly durable. American Giant obsesses over every detail, and it shows. Every piece feels like something that's going to be in your closet for years, not months.

And I love that everything is made in America by the communities that actually create the product. The iconic classic fullzip hoodie is the jacket that started it all for American Giant. Custom heavyweight fleece and side panels for mobility make it the best hoodie ever. The body skimming fit, double line hood, and reinforced elbow patches mean that this hoodie will last. And if you want to branch out, American Giant makes staples that are anything but basic, like the premium slub crew te No high-rise pant and the slim rough neck pant. Everything is made in America and designed to last. No exception. This season, snag the hoodie that will bring you comfort for life. The American Giant Classic Full Zip.

In contrast, you have MAGA Republican Congress member James Comr and the MAGA Republicans calling the Democratic Congresswoman uh Presley baby. They called her baby. You had Nancy Mace and others while Congresswoman Presley was asking questions started to shout at Congresswoman Presley and say, "Just be quiet, baby. Be quiet, baby. The hell is wrong with these MAGA Republicans?" Play this clip.

But really, he's just a criminal. So raise your hand if you oppose Trump's pardon of this Minnesota individual.

Ma'am, this grandstanding nonsense. This is not grand motans hate about DC. This is accountability and you are hypocrites. So again, I will take your refusal demonstrating my opening chairman. She's offing my time. I'm not off the rails. Please totally off the rails.

Nancy Trump's give me my time back. Order. Mr. Chairman if Republicans come here to serve me over time in time at least time's expiredly especially you've already secured your MSNBC spot tonight your time's required recognizes South Carolina recognizes Miss and this administration recognizes Miss

Mr. Chairman. I agree. She's going to be a great HOST ON MSC. THIS IS MY TIME. I wouldn't want to jump in front of Miss if I were you, Miss President.

I reclaim my time. This is my time. I wouldn't want to interrupt Miss Bass. It's her time. Chair recognizes Miss

Mr. Chair. She did not get all of her time. Mr. Chairman, she wants to insult us for 10 more seconds. Your time is expired. Get this woman in order.

Her time is expired. Chair recognizing be great on TV. You're really good. No, baby, you're not. No, baby, you're not. You are not in order. You're out of order. Goodbye. You're done.

All right, Mr. Chairman. Is my mace good here? And here's how Nancy Mace, the MAGA Republican, wanted to spend her time asking the one normal voice on this panel about whether Somalians who are citizens should be stripped of their citizenship? Play this clip.

First question is this Mr. Balu uh this this afternoon. Um should Somalians in Minnesota be required to speak English, their citizens?

One, yes or no? Should they be required to speak English if they're American citizens?

I think that question is really inappropriate. Should [clears throat] they? It's not inappropriate. This is the United States of America. Do you speak English? Should Americans speak English? Citizens speak English? Yes or no?

Uh, point of inquiry. Uh, is English the official language of the United States? I'm just It's a question I

Mr. Chairman, I'm being interrupted. Parliamentary inquiry. I would like to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I'd like to reclaim my time. She's asking a popular Not a valid That's not a valid. It's a point. Women have a right to speak in this committee. Conservative women have the right to speak here and not be interrupting already.

I would like to recognize my time. I I lost like 10 seconds there. Okay, we'll give you 10 seconds.

Okay. My next question is should Somalians who committed fraud be denaturalized and deported? Mr. value.

Again, I'm not sure that's an appropriate question because the majority of Somali,

if you commit fraud in this country and you are here from Somalia, you don't believe they should be denaturalized and deported.

How much fraud would it take for you to want to denaturalize and deport someone who committed fraud in this country? How much

again? A billion, n billion, 19 billion. What would it take for you? Most Somali motans are citizens. Then you had Tom Emmer, the MAGA Republican Congress member from Minnesota, who celebrates the fact that Donald Trump has revoked billions of dollars in child care services, billions of dollars in other essential services uh for the state of Minnesota. Great job, congressman, throwing your own damn state under the bus, you despicable, grotesque. I could just go on and on and on. I'll stop with the inhabitant attacks and just focus more on the clips. I apologize. Sometimes I get so angry from from these people. But Tom Emmer says, "Have you all seen on X all the whistleblowers on X the whistleblowers on on Elon Musk's bot infested platform?" Okay, Emmer, play this clip. Mr. Emmer, thank you, Chairman Comr, for uh holding this important hearing. As I said on Monday, good riddance to Governor Walls, but he

cannot escape accountability for the estimated $9 billion in fraud. How did this happen? And where the hell has the Twin Cities media been? The Star Tribune is complicit. They have had this story for years, if you've just heard, and they've refused to report anything on it. In fact, they continue to try and cover up. Our Minnesota Republican colleagues have demanded answers and accountability for years, but have seen nothing from walls, his administration, our Democrat colleagues like Tina Smith, Amy Clolobashar, Ilhan Omar, and Angie Craig, or the worthless Star Tribune.

Thank God for President Donald J. Trump for finally bringing attention to this issue. Representative Raric, I'm going to begin with you. You've been working on this issue for years. You've spoken to the whistleblowers personally. Is that correct?

That is correct. You have an understanding that 1,000 whistleblowers running an account on X have come forward to expose fraud in Minnesota state agencies and they have been entirely ignored by Tim Walls and have even been retaliated against. Is that accurate?

That is correct. Even this morning, I got another message. Well, in in your experience, are their claims credible or are they politically motivated against walls?

They're completely credible, not politically motivated. Now, back to the Democrats. Congress member McGovern taking the floor. And here's what he had to say. Republicans found the time to illegally slap Donald Trump's name onto the Kennedy Center, defacing a memorial to a great president in a single day. 24 hours. 24 hours. But a legally required honor for the officers who defended this democracy. I mean, five years of excuses and f five years of delay, five years of cowardice and disrespect to law enforcement by Republicans.

When all is said and done, history will not look kindly on these rep on these Trump Republicans and this Republican majority. And they all know it. They all know it. And at this point, let me say to my Republican friends, it is always the right time to do the decent thing, the thing the law requires, which is to hang the plaque honoring these brave men and women who put their lives on the line to defend us, to defend this building, and to defend this democracy. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of my amendment into the record along with any extraneous material immediately prior to the vote on the previous question without objection. And I reserve the balance of my time.

More from Congress member McGovern right here. Here's what he had to say as well.

Mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question, I'm going to offer an amendment to the rule to bring up H. Conres 33, which calls for the plaque honoring the brave police officers that defended this capital and our democracy on January 6th to be put up in the capital as required by law. As required by law. Mr. Speaker, I am sick and tired of Republicans standing up and proclaiming their unwavering support for law enforcement when they won't even honor the law enforcement that saved them, that saved us and our democracy here on January 6th. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the January 6th attack on the capital by supporters of Donald Trump. Over 140 officers were injured. an officer was was killed.

Others died by suicide following the trauma of that day. And do you know how the White House marked this anniversary? Do you know how the White House marked this anniversary? They marked it by putting up an Orwellian web page, rewriting history, and claiming it is the officers who were to blame for the violence. How disgusting, how despicable, how disgraceful, you know, and I I asked my Republican colleagues, "Do you really believe that crap?" When you look in the eyes of the Capitol police that guard this building, do you accuse them of being responsible for the violence of that day? How dare the president of the United States say such a thing? and how shameful of this Republican majority to stay silent in the face of this depravity and rewriting of history. And folks, I just think the contrast there that I shared with you between the Democrats and these MAGAS are night and day, night and day. The

end of the day, what I just want to see is people fighting for the American people. I want to see people focusing on housing, housing, housing. People can't afford homes right now. People can't afford their rent right now. People are psychologically tortured if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck, living paycheck to paycheck in this country. And Donald Trump's out there threatening to invade Greenland and every country in the Western Hemisphere. And he's got his Gestapo, his SS forces on the street murdering US citizens to try to intimidate, harass, and distract from a MAGAR Republican cover up of a child sex trafficking ring. How utterly, utterly despicable. We'll cover it every step of the way here on the Midas Touch Network.
