Chapter 1: What went wrong at the GOP oversight hearing?
Yeah, this hearing went off the rails very quickly. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the chairwoman of the Doge committee here. The hearing that was held was called unfair play. keeping men out of women's sports. And it focused on USA fencing, which receives literally zero federal funding.
And you know, with Marjorie Taylor Greene as the chairwoman of this committee, that it was going to go off the rails and get unhinged very, very quickly. So she just takes her gavel and just starts banging it over and over again as Democrats are just trying to reclaim their time and ask questions. Watch how unhinged Marjorie Taylor Greene is here playing this clip.
Stand with you with the LGBTQ plus community. We stand with you and you can raise your drums.
Chapter 2: How did Marjorie Taylor Greene's actions disrupt the hearing?
Well, she's always completely unhinged. So bizarre. You know, who are the weirdos there, Marjorie Taylor Greene? You may want to look in the mirror. I want to show you this moment here, though, where Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett had the most incredible series of questioning. She said, OK, let's play a game. Congresswoman Crockett said she goes, let's call it Trump.
or trans, and let's see who's really hurting the American people. Here, play this clip.
Chapter 3: What was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's strategy during questioning?
So, Ms. Scott Scraves, I want to play a game. It's called Trump or Trans. You ready? Okay. So I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to tell me whether or not it is Trump or trans people that are responsible. You understand? Yeah. Okay, very good. The first one, gutted medical research. Trump. Kidnapping Americans and sending them to foreign countries, a.k.a. deporting them.
Trump.
Driving us into a recession.
Trump.
Increasing the cost of everything.
Trump.
Waging an idiotic tariff war.
Trump.
Harming farmers.

Chapter 4: How did Democrats respond to the hearing's focus on USA Fencing?
Cutting health care.
Trump.
Firing government workers who keep our country safe.
Trump.
Encouraging an environment of hate and divisiveness. Trump. Thank you so much. This committee could be engaged in actual oversight of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. So let's talk about waste. Like Trump's plan to spend almost $100 million for his little birthday parade. Or how he spent 25% of his first 100 days golfing, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
In fact, it's a little bit over $30 million at our last estimation. In fact- President Trump is on pace to spend more than a billion dollars of taxpayer dollars just on golfing. Yet the Republicans have been silent. So they must think spending taxpayer dollars on the president's golfing trips is more important than providing health care to their constituents.
And when I talk about constituents, we don't talk about the ones on this committee.
And then over here, more Marjorie Taylor Greene yelling at Democratic Congress members and saying, you're taking my time. You don't have the ability to speak. Just watch how odd this is. Play this clip.
The gentlelady's time has expired. The gentlelady's time has expired. I now recognize Ms. McClain from Michigan. You took a minute of my time wasting my time on a non-point of order. The gentlelady's time has expired.

This hearing will come to order. This hearing will come to order. Madam Chair, this hearing will come to order. Madam Chair, this hearing will come to order. I now recognize Ms. McClain from Michigan.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
And yeah, this committee that Marjorie Taylor Greene's chairing goes more off the rails. Let's play this clip. Point of order.
I just have a point of order. Thank you, Madam Chair. Let me tell you.
Madam Chair, I had a point of order. Could we just have the timekeeper, you know, log the time between both the Democrats and Republicans and then we rebalance them so that we each have equal time? That's that's pretty basic.
Well, we will we will consider that. Thank you. No, no, no, no, no, no. You took a minute of my time. Those are the rules. Enough. No, no, no, no. You're wasting your time.
Either we go by the rules or we're out of here.
We're keeping equal time. Miss McClain from Michigan is now recognized.

Chapter 6: How does PolicyGenius help with life insurance?
Mr. LaFelt came in here today saying that this is game day. You're right, Mr. LaFelt, this is game day.
The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here who you use subpoena powers.
Folks, I'm sure you hear me talk a lot about my family here on the Midas Touch Network. And in order to give me the peace of mind that I'm protecting my family's future, it's important that I make sure that I have the best life insurance that I can get for them.

Now, do you remember the video I did? When was it? 18 months ago or maybe longer ago when the MAGA Republican Congress members were doing the Hunter Biden hearings and they would literally edit the text messages like they'd manipulate the words. And then I think it was, yeah, it was Congresswoman AOC who said, I have the real texts. You literally changed the language here.
Like you're committing a fraud in Congress. like tampering with evidence, but that's who they are. Here's a moment where LaFelte, the head of USA Fencing, says we don't get any federal funding. Not one penny of USA Fencing is supported by federal funds. Play this clip.
Now, this committee is supposed to be about saving taxpayer dollars. And let's be really clear. Mr. Layfield, USA Fencing doesn't receive large taxpayer-funded grants and doesn't really receive federal funding, is that correct?
Sir, we do not receive a penny in federal funding.

Chapter 8: Does USA Fencing receive federal funding?
So you do not receive a penny of federal funding, and we're spending our time in a government efficiency committee debating a fencing tournament and your association. That of you which receive no federal dollars.
So what the hell is this government efficiency doing? They're spending their time going after USA Fencing, which is not subsidized by the federal government at all? This is what they're spending our taxpayer money on?
While you are suffering, while people are living paycheck to paycheck, while mortgage rates are close to 7%, while inflation is on the rise again as we're heading towards stagflation, as our GDP is shrinking, as frickin' Donald Trump and all these MAGA morons are out there saying that you should only get $1.05
for your little girl or granddaughter, and that she needs to pay more for it because why would she want more than one toy or whatever the hell they're talking about? This is what they're focused on? Democratic Congress member Garcia had an important point to make here as well. Let's play this clip.
people are aware, there is some bipartisan consensus. Here's a quote from one of my Republican colleagues who's actually on this committee today, which I want to read. I find it encouraging. It says, I strongly support LGBTQ rights and equality. No one should be discriminated against. I have friends and family that identify as LGBTQ.
Understanding how they feel and how they've been treated is important. Having been around gay, lesbian, and transgender people has informed my opinion over my lifetime. Now, Ms. Goss Graves, do you know who said this by any chance? I don't know. This was actually Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who's, I know, waved on to our committee today.
Now, Madam Chair, I'd like to insert into the record this article on CNN that says, titled, Nancy Mace, now targeting transgender lawmaker, calls herself pro-transgender rights in 2023. Madam Chairwoman?
Without objection.
Thank you. Now, Congresswoman Mace, of course, is here today. Now, in November of just last year, Congresswoman Mace posted 326 times on social media about trans people and their access to bathrooms in just one 72-hour period. That's a fact. So I'd like to introduce another article from Newsweek.
