BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): So all Democrats vote to protect Stacey Plaskett, and our weak ass Republican leadership cuts a deal in order to protect a Republican that should be able to stand on his own two feet, right, against these allegations. You, the American people, should be outraged by this from both parties, says Marjorie Taylor Greene, and you should be asking many questions. For example, why does Plaskett, who's a nonvoting delegate from The US territory, serve on the House Intelligence Committee, Ways and Means Committee, Budget Committee? Because of the money. Because she literally — because that's where all the money laundering happens, obviously. Those are very powerful influential committees. She can't even vote on the House floor. Corey Mills serves on the House Armed Services Committee, Foreign Affairs, and subcommittees of Intelligence. So why did both sides work together to stop Plaskett and Mills' censure resolutions last night in order to protect both Plaskett and Mills? Members of Congress, like me, never ever receive such protections and never will. Instead of working to pass legislation that supports policies you voted for, passing our appropriation bills and solving real crises like health care, Congress is trapped in the quicksand of the swamp with no intention of getting out.
Moving along to Anna Paulina Luna. And I'm well aware that Marjorie Taylor Greene has burned quite a few bridges in MAGA and back and forth, that Trump has rescinded his endorsement of her and so on. So let's move over to Anna Paulina Luna. Maybe you're like, well, that's like — that's not — we don't want to hear from Marjorie. Fine. If that's what you think. She's telling the truth there, by the way. Her and Tim Burchett. Here's Anna Paulina Luna. I refuse to vote to protect a corrupt Republican the same way I will not vote to protect a corrupt Democrat. If a member brings forward a legitimate censure for corruption against another Republican, I will vote for it. Get the house in order at GOP.
Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. What a nightmare. How can you possibly — how can you possibly say that you are against pedophiles — GOP leadership, House leadership — get me my Mike Johnson clip immediately. We went to the House, and we interviewed Mike Johnson, and he sat as far away as I am from you right now. And by that, I mean, you know, the camera's really close to me, but whatever. You're welcome to come into the studio and watch the show anytime. I sat across from Mike Johnson, and that dude was like, this is despicable. Nobody deserves to be protected. Get it, like, get it out. Get it out. Get it out. OK? Here's what Mike Johnson had to say to me. Here we go.
...
JOHNSON: So, then he goes on to, like, talk about the tributaries and things that had been done. And listen. I'm happy to cheerlead when good things happen, but this is not a good thing.
Dude lied to my face. It makes me pissed off because you can't sit there and say — and I just played you Marjorie Taylor Greene and Anna Paulina Luna's clips. Like, you can't sit there and say, yeah. I'm in favor of punishing the people that were clearly accelerating and creating the conditions for this pedophile to have such heavy control over our body politic and then not censure the member of Congress who did that. You cut a deal to protect the Democrat that works with the pedo — that was in bed with the pedophile trying to get Trump? It's indefensible. How can you do that? What a betrayal of every principle that we have. Do we have any principles?
