Chapter 1: What are the implications of MAGA Republicans' actions on government agencies?

0.149 - 16.93 Ben Meiselas

Watching these MAGA Republicans on the weekend shows, supporting Elon Musk and private individuals, taking your private data, seizing control of the Treasury Department's transaction payment system as well as medical records and other private information.

17.31 - 47.622 Ben Meiselas

seeing them support the construction of concentration camps like in Guantanamo Bay, seeing them support the dismantling of the NIH, the dismantling of FEMA, the dismantling of core government agencies that keep people safe, it shows you there's no depths to their depravity. What gives me some hope, though, is to see some Democrats pushing back and saying, we will not fund the government.

0

47.662 - 69.78 Ben Meiselas

We will not support any government funding the way we've bailed you out before in the past, because the way the government remain funded was because Republicans got Democratic support. Otherwise, the government would have shut down. I think Democrats are now saying Republicans should. You're on your own here. So let me just show you what went down over the weekend.

69.84 - 92.28 Ben Meiselas

So here's MAGA Republican Mike Turner, member of Congress. And here MAGA Republican Congress member Turner says basically Palestinians are dangerous wherever they go because they are inherently dangerous people, the Palestinians in general. So. For all of the Palestinians for Trump or Arabs and Muslims for Trump, let me present to you Mike Turner. Play this clip.

0

92.32 - 102.943 Mike Johnson

Structure that the Palestinians, regardless of where they are, pose a security threat that there is no path to a two state solution. No one is currently working toward it.

103.211 - 125.79 Ben Meiselas

Next, I want to show you the Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem. And here she justifies why Elon Musk and private individuals now have access to all of our government information. And she says, because the government can't be trusted. As Dana Bash points out, I think she did a good job here. Dana Bash says, but you are the government now. Here, play this clip.

125.93 - 136.493 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

remember a time when Republicans were very careful about and worried about the government, particularly unelected people. We can't trust the government anymore. Having access to personal data.

136.573 - 136.793 Kristi Noem

Yeah.

137.193 - 138.853 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

Oh, absolutely. You are the government.

Chapter 2: What did Mike Turner say about Palestinians and how was it received?

917.233 - 934.045 Mike Johnson

And that's what we're talking about from Greenland. to Arctic security, to the Panama Canal coming back under the United States. America has avoided our own hemisphere where we have the energy, the food, and the critical minerals for way too long. And you're seeing a reassertion of President Trump's leadership.

0

934.165 - 951.178 Ben Meiselas

The New York Post has reported... Here's MAGA Republican Senator Hagerty lying about Americans promoting sex changes in Guatemala. And again, they want to... Make up any lie imaginable to distract from their lawlessness right here. Here, play this clip.

0

951.278 - 968.711 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Appropriator, I've asked them to be very clear about, for example, their role funding Hamas in Gaza. They would not comply. They will not tell us what they do. Now that we start to find out some of the programs that AID has been funding, if you think about it, sex change operations in Guatemala, LGBTQ programs in Serbia.

0

968.751 - 975.436 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

The U.S. government does not fund sex change operations. operations or fund Hamas. You know that, though.

0

976.556 - 984.442 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

But you sit on... That is not true, Margaret. I couldn't get the Secretary of State. I asked him three times to tell me that we were not funding Hamas through AID. He couldn't do it.

984.962 - 991.447 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

And frankly, what we found is that we've been funding... Do you have any evidence that the United States government is funding a terrorist group?

993.548 - 999.012 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Certainly. The funds that have gone to UNRWA. You saw the UNRWA members who were also Hamas members going on an attack on...

1000.071 - 1002.232 Unnamed Town Hall Participant 1

UNRWA is part of the United Nations.

1002.252 - 1008.715 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Supporting terrorist groups. And if you look at what UNRWA has done, it's been so counter to our national interest. It's unbelievable that we would fund it.
