00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, that's exactly right. It's CR Day on Capitol Hill and what is going on
00:08with the Republicans? I mean, President Trump puts out a tweet and says, please, and all of a sudden,
00:14all of a sudden just flip-flops. You know, but you know what, let me do some mean tweets about
00:20how you feel about CRs when you're in the minority only. And the first one actually is from the
00:24gentleman from Texas. And it says, it's Groundhog Day in the House chamber, all the time, every day,
00:30yet again, spending money we don't have. Apparently, only when he's in the minority.
00:35Another one from a colleague, comparing continuing resolutions to attending a P-diddy party. In any
00:41given year, another colleague says, if Congress raises the debt ceiling, passes the CR and rams
00:47through an ominous bill, no member of Congress should receive a paycheck. That's awkward for
00:53you guys. How many of you are going to give back your paycheck? Another colleague, I've never voted
00:59for a CR. You sent me to Congress to cut wasteful spending and I'm a woman of my word. You can guess
01:04who that is. And this one, this is my favorite. What does a CR stand for? It stands for capitulating
01:11Republicans, caving Republicans, said by a Republican. And you know what? I'm going to miss
01:17the never CR group. I mean, they were great, but they're breaking up. And it was great to see them
01:24live while they were together. They had lots of fans. I'm going to miss them. I mean, they were
01:29mostly a boy band. Okay. Some of them are going solo. Appears it's only Thomas Massie. But you
01:36know what? Something tells me there'll be a reunion, but only when they're in the minority.
01:41And to quote representative Massie, talking about Republicans, I guess deficits only matter when
01:48we're in the minority. So listen, go home to your families, turn in your voting cards, give Trump
01:54the gavel, because that is what has happened to your entire party. You don't need to be here.
01:59He tells you to do something, you jump. And so what's going on in the world, another representative,
02:04what's going on in the world in the last 30 days? Well, let's see. Egg prices are up. Goods are up.
02:10Stock market is down. Thank you.
