Folks, you would think with planned parenthood on the rocks, they'd be the ones in the republican crosshairs, not so fast. Today, TED Crews, the senator from Texas he's in the crosshairs on Tuesday GNP in the house today, the hearing with the plan parenthood had whose name is Cecile Richard and they excoriated her for the organization selling baby body parts to the highest bidder, and you had- this person ever congressperson going in front of the cameras in ripping the organization because they perform some between three and four hundred thousand abortions, every single year, but that wasn't really where the focus was the Focus was on the republican leadership behind the scenes, because they were working to fund plan parenthood, every single our every single time and to stop them their crews from warning their plans. This was really the key towards me. Going on this week. At the same time, the speaker of the House, John Wayne, he's getting ready, retired and his Republicans have been instructed to target plan parenthood, publicly
Baker. Has no doubt is never going to allow any sort of government shut down, which is amazing because after all, Congress only has to tools to stop President Obama and the executive branch. One is impeachment. The other is the power of the purse and if you say in advance that you're not going to actually send President Obama some sort of continuing resolution that he'll reject and Republicans about Yes to the agenda they actually given in ten cruiser, I couldn't do that. He tried to stop them answered. Decided they had to stop tat grows. Tankers has to be stopped even if plan parenthood won't be Meanwhile, over in the Senate, Jordan, leader much mcconnell- he was actually land thanks to the media that he stopped sender. Crews from initiating another government shut down to last week, crews, while the media, the Mcconnell, doesn't leave in the Senate, Senator Minority minority literary read of Nevada, just to prove crews, Mcconnell, then sign onto everything that Harry Red could possibly want, which led crews who takes the floor of the Senate to bash leadership. He said they refused to call lift a finger Tipps
and life and, at the same time, o Connell prevented crews from amending that same funds resolution that continuing resolutions stop funding plan parenthood crews, and republican leadership, simply says, ok to Obama? Why does it matter if we have republican or Democrat House or Senate? That is the operative question, I went Mcconnell and Democrats shut crews up one hour using procedural means said he couldn't continue to talk about how Mcconnell and Republicans work. Having to the Democrats for the report establishment. The only thing that matters is maintaining control and the only way to maintain control is to stop TED crews from taking control. Even if that means that plan parenthood gets funded, TED crews has to be stopped even if plan parenthood is not. This is a battle between the establishment and the conservative wing of the Republican Party. It's not even between the Republicans and and parenthood. Unfortunately, if only the Republican Party were good vehicle for conservatism, it ain't this,
eventually shown I'm bench. Shapiro isn't very local potential demonize people, don't care about you feeling or our rights are today. The Republicans are feeling the fall out from what happened yesterday, this big hearing yesterday and in that hearing Republicans questions you'll Richards, who is of course the head of plan parenthood and a bunch of got up to question her about all of the various ridiculous routines. The plan parenthood in order to shield, where puts its money plan? Paranoid likes to claim all the time that three percent of its services actual abortion services. This is not true, and the fact is that when they Paypal services, just so folks, know when, when you ABLE services a plan. Parenthood, it's the same thing is: if you walked into staples and staples were to say that selling office products is only three percent of their business, because the rest of their businesses selling those candies at the front, or the rest of their businesses. You walking and in talking to the king Gos Department, overrun staples the fact is that when you label every service equally well, make your money did does not coralie
with where the services go. So the reality is that the majority of plan parentage money actually comes from abortion services, but doesn't mean that all of their services are abortions are just like. The mafia only makes most of its money through murder and extortion. They'd you Evelyn my business is maybe the matter extortion, only tiny percentage of their of the of the services they provide, but where they make their money is in all of the lucrative illegal business, that's why they the gang, go our company in olive oil company in the godfather was a front company right most of their services. Most their time could be spent selling olive oil, but when it came and actually bring in the box. Then it was time to sell out a holler drugs or whatever illegal product. They wanted to push that it will not drugs, because, obviously that's why we got Father get shot but in any case Representative, Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio.
He was questioning Cecile, Richard andirons seal riches apologizing to everybody because of all these new plan, parenthood, videos that have broken these plan. Parenthood videos are really interesting, ends and shocking, and what they show is all these plan. Parenthood, doctors, doktor after doktor after doktor talking about how they violated the law in order to sell baby body parts to research facilities and by selling baby parts richer research facilities, they hope to jack up the amount of profit that they are making made even kill the baby. specific ways for us to maintain the baby body parts in a particular way, making it easier to sell them well, Jim Jordan, who is a high ranking republican? He was considered by many a possible front runner further speakership at the house if he had declared
He asked us you'll Richard, so why are you coming you're lying apologizing if the videos are doctored? Let's take a listen to representative Jim Jordan of Ohio questioning to seal regions. This Richards, if the videos were selectively edited heavily edited if this was entrapment. If this was all in true, then why'd you apologize we'll congressmen. First, I think everyone is agreed. They were heavily at a dead and that certainly, I think, like venison israelite traders is widely acknowledged. Arbitrator has agreed, they were done under cover I spoke with Doktor Nuclear Toller, who was featured in one of the videos, and I thought it was important in my opinion, in my opinion of it. In my opinion, it was inappropriate to have a clinical discussion of in a non conference Non Confidential.
what non clinical setting? Angela all died out. What were you apologizing for that? She used. I think in my in my judgment, it was bad judgment is to have a clinical discussion, and I learned that real setting have now them in the first video comes out July. Fourteenth two days later, you you go in an issue, an apology, and you said this is unacceptable Clear Poligized bore the tone and statements like or no here's the question which statements where you apologize for it was really the. It was really that situation, was an and I believe that as provisional you'll returns and going to answer the question obviously- and you can hear from from the tone of of Jim Jordan questions that he's very frustrated with her ass. He ought to be because she originally apologized after these videos cannot sombre. Doktor Natalia was seen on video specifically talking about. But how she would pursue
do certain procedures in order to maintain the baby body parts at a certain levels that they could be sold I believe the Neuchatel, although this is a video where she talked about how she would eventually by elaborate Gagne based on the amount of profit they would make off these baby body parts and Cecile it is now going out and saying that it really is just about the tone it really. They were hoping that they were at lunch when they did all of this. If they done it in the private office and if she said the same things it wouldn't have been offensive. And the assault on Unseal Richards D, the retort assault on Seal Richards continues in this way represent of Cynthia Loomis Republican from my arming and shoe and after TAT, Richard. She says you keep saying it
three percent of your services. Our abortion services. Well, that's not where money is coming from here is represented Cynthia Loomis. Let's talk about plan parenthood revenue from abortions. If you look at the twenty thirteen statistics that you report abortions from if you from revenue would have been over eighty six percent of your non government revenue, how? How do you explain this massive disparity between the amount of revenue you collect from abortion and the fact that you only report three percent of your services being
ocean. Well, I think there's two questions you ve sort of mixed in their. So let me try to address both. One is, as we have already stated, federal money does not go for abortion, so the federal portion that we were discussing is reimbursement for preventive care services. I think the other. So that's. Why they're? Not those numbers don't aren't connected how many they can you tell me how many a affiliates, receive the majority of their revenue from abortion. I dont know that answer. Could you get it for me I'll talk to my team thanks, but I do think it's important to understand that abortion procedure. are probably more expensive than some other, and here we must ask measures. This is a directive course. Abortion procedures are more expensive, which is why planned pair had makes an enormous amount of money off the abortion proceed. There's. No seal Richards would later say that this was just the GNP being so
since the Republicans Roma asking her these questions because they don't like women choose on MSNBC and she thought that it was necessary to x, plain that the reason that choose interrupted so much is because Republicans, Women are some such nonsense. This, of course, is the line whenever comes to abortion. The lie is the Republicans must hate women because they oppose aboard which is asinine, given that when you talk sex selective abortion? Typically people abort babies were girls, they don't have clue abort babies who are boys We re actually worldwide for people to purposefully. or on sex selective basis to only a boar boys. They typically do that for This is certainly true in China, which is why he has two mismatch between number of men and the number of women. In China, because all the girls got aborted before they are by the way Cecile Richards in this same segment, you actually would go on to say that you support sexual active abortions. Abortion for any reason, according to her, is totally fine, but apparently the Jew.
PS sexes, you're Cecile, Richards appearing on Amazon BC, explaining that everybody was just being sexist and means of her, especially presumably Cynthia Loomis, who actually is woman. One of the things that republican members of Congress really did badger you about today was your salary and Democrats on the panel sprung to your defence said that it was. It was sexist of them to go after you for that, since they never do. The same for male scenario is, for example, do you care there take on it. Do you think that's what was going on there? I don't really know I mean I do think some of the comments were pretty sexes, but actually I think it was because they didn't have anything else to talk about Oh okay, so is there was no, they had nothing else to talk about, which is why they talked about her salary which, by the way, is well in excess of three hundred thousand our for running an organisation that is a mass abortion clinic Tal about sex as men, and this has become the party line, Jerry Connally, whose Democrat from Virginia
He also said that you said that the GEO p is sexist is well here. She said this during the hearings said that the job he was sexist, which is why the hearings were taking place in the first place Representative Jerry Connally of Virginia. I hope every american woman is watching today's here. Oh no, you don't because just the visuals as well as the audience tell you will live. My colleagues have said this: no war on women look at how you ve been treated as a witness intimidation talking over interrupting cutting off sentences. Criticising you because your salary. How dare you who do you think you are making a national salaries ahead of one for mere now? Can we go into the elderly man anymore? During the visit
just how these hearings usually go. The way they are really goes that you have somebody on one side going out witness somebody on the other side coming out in defence of the witness, because this is what our government has become, and the Democrats are of course, a paid contributor to the to the planned pair fun I mean really isn't the reverse its not that that Democrats get paid by plan parents really. The Democrats pay plan. Parenthood go on these the plan, parenthood action, fun, millions and millions of dollars every single year in order to get Democrats elected now here is the big problem. Here is the big problem for Republican. the same Republicans who are out there bashing plan parenthood in saying that this is all perfectly legitimate, entire investigation is perfectly legitimate. Becomes time to actually define plan. Parenthood, then, all of a sudden, their courage goes completely out the window when it comes to and for them to sit down and finally say no enough. We're done here, then all the The courage is gone all of a sudden, gonna go eat, I tabled in the sign over a continuing resolution to keep the government funded and they're all these republican suppose it
served its establishment republicans who do this routine, where they suggest that great republican success story would be to continue to fund the government and then to use issues like this in order to run for electoral office, the idea. Being that all we can. We do here is just wine about things. Until we witnessed the Donald Trump strategy, Trump says we wait until we win well Accords the Republicans we all have to wine until we went, and so we can and you decide over funding to President Obama, because who knows the government shutdown could go really badly, the media would get very upset. The media get super duper angry and then what would happen? Republicans would lose seats as problem with this shutdowns known her Republicans, because when it comes to govern shutdowns Democrats are the ones who want to the government. Run. Republicans are supposed to be the people standing in favour of a small group republicans are supposed to stand in favour of a government that only provide specified services
and that is only there to do certain things that the idea the government shuts down unless it does the things we wanted to do, that's perfectly in line with republican thinking. And, if republicans continue to say the government can shut down, will even fun plan parenthood to prevent it. men from shutting down. It looks like sexism to attack Cecile It reads: Implant paranoid, if you're not willing to man up, if willing to grow a sad nation surprise when everybody assumes that you're just being a jerk to attack plan parenthood and Cecile Richards far. This is gone now. What the Republicans here's, how far the sky with the Republicans this is from the hill today representatives, tiny Hoyer Democrat of Maryland, is urging Speaker John Vainer to go big. His last month on Capitol Hill, lamented We congressional dysfunction, that's life under the people's work, why airport into a series of proposals de must pass by the end of the year, including new, highway funding, re authorization of export import and a long term budget deal. He says
it's better to tackle as many of these items as possible before stepping out of Congress October Thirtyam standing Hoyer. He said I am hopeful, Let us speak remain reserves out the last month of his term. In the Congress of the United States. He will work with his republican colleagues and with his democratic colleagues to affect some progress on important things. We need to be doing How bad is the establishment Republican Party, in other words, be minority whip. One of the debt Leaders in the house is calling on the speaker of the house to do what he wants. To do so words, conservatives the people who voted John Vainer and office to people who fun John Vainer, the people who, John Vain or to be speaker of the house until he betrayed? the people who want more Republicans in office. Those people are John Maynard, slow down and standing where the democratic, telling John Maynard to speed up and who is John Wayne are listening to us. The standing higher he's listening. democrat and attacking taken by the way, last Sunday, John tool that he is drunken region,
it was human being that he is John Vainer went on a Sunday shows any called TED crews. A jackass had cruises that gas tankers the Jack S, because he says the President Obama should be forced to put its money where its mouth is and veto legislation funding. The governor If you wants to say plan parenthood, but John Campaigner says the cruises the jackass meanwhile me while John Vainer is the guy who's. This we're getting ousted from his position, but before you, he's gonna make sure that the government continues to be funded in line with President Obama's spending priorities. Me while much Mcconnell is going to political and chortling over crews being unable to shut down the government synergy, food of South Dakota was the number three Senate Republican, one of Mcdonald's deputies. He said about TED crews, they stop TED whose, from speaking in shutting down the governments, have we had to be prepared cruises international office, he's gotta different endgame than we do. There are things we have to do here. We ve got to fund the government every year,
focusing on that last line for one second, we ve got to fund the government every year. Question why? Why? turns out. The government spending is mandatory. Eighty four government spending is mandatory. Whenever there is a government shut down, the government continues to operate at eighty percent, of what normally operates YAP. So why do you have to find a government, for your wise, a top priority for Republicans, and if it is our priority for Republicans to keep the government funded at current rates or maybe slightly below then they're just Democrats light when you have much Mcconnell, going out there and ripping seriously when you have Mitch Mcconnell ripping TED crews harder than he writes President Obama or plan parenthood. You know that the republic, Parties not of the vehicle you want to know, I Donald Trump is succeeding. Folks, the reasons I the succeeding today and will continue to succeed and, if its not eminently, then Carson Car with your Rina or TED crews is because people hate the Republican Party and they should have been a terrible vehicle for conservatives ya know I Bernie Sanders. An open socialist is running inside the democratic party. The answer
the Bernie Sanders they democratic Socialist, is running inside the Democratic Party, because Democratic Party is the party of the left and the report can party is the Party of the centre left and the fact that ten, Bruce is being seen as the enemy by people like Mitch, Mcconnell and John Vainer that you got what one last time the John Bain recalled, President Obama Jackass, President Obama, send the worst IRAN deal in history of the United States. President Obama has pushed for vomica zero republican votes, Germany. Ever call them jackass, but TED cruiser jackass from to defend all this and I tell you folks. I personally, I personally was not afraid of TED Cruising shutdown strategy over Obamacare back a couple years ago. I thought It was likely to end disaster sleep problematical because you didn't have enough allies, but you know I gotta say. Maybe I was wrong, Maybe I was wrong because crews at least was was. to hold zone parties feet to the fire Mcconnell in company. They just won't. Do it it's absolutely path,
it is pathetic. Can we might ran Paul out there and you got got Barker Ruby everything from Penrith crews in saying the crews doesn't know what he's doing ran Paul came out yesterday. Any said the TED crews is done. Senator. Basically, his influence is finished by the way tat We in the Senate as long as he wants to be in the Senate. He from Texas pay no is going to get rid of TED crews in Texas, ramp he's gonna, run in very contested Senate race, and you may there we'll lose that race, which is why ran Paul, is probably gonna drop out of the presidential race. Pretty soon, no battle lines are being drawn right here, and people are saying that its grandstanding by crews that dissolves pyrotechnics its offer the presidential right. So here is the question: if TED cruises doing this to win republican primaries, if the goal here for crews is to please the base to win republican primaries. Why is the rest of the Republican Party following TED crews, to please the republican base. Why are they seeking please tiny higher and the Democrats in Brok Obama, the Democrats and all of its hypocrisy in which they go out and they rip on plan parenthood,
all this ridiculous nonsense. Where they go out in the yellow, Cecile Richards when it gone they them they glutton. They say that plan parent, is a great evil in their complicit in a great moral evil, then they go had they sign the Czech John Bay. there's name is on every check. The President Obama's name is on to plan parenthood. There they did their co signatories of those checks to John Beta and claim to using it to claim that these anti plan parenthood using clean here, yet the calamities staunchly pro life it continues to sign those checks because he's too cowardly to shut down the gutter and when you become shutting down the government. This is the role of Congress. The role of Congress is to regulate the purse strings and, if Congress do a President Obama will get to do what he wants. We now live in an elected dictatorship if you won't use the power of the personal impeachment, the executive branch rules, and if the executive branch rules we're all done here. There's nothing else to see. We get to vote once every four years and off your election. Don't matter, because the president will do precisely what he wants to do. So look I'm glad
The Republicans are having these hearings unplanned paranoid. I just want to see some actual effect All I want to see is something beyond elect us and will do something guess what electing you we did it and are not doing it. You think so. Why would we continue to spend our money and our time electing you haven't you do something now have it you stand tall and if you stand all I dont think Republicans will lose from shut down? In fact, President Clinton shifted from the guy who proposed Obamacare originally back a ninety. Ninety to two thousand signed welfare reform. After me, Gingrich shut down the government Bob who is the Senate Majority leader a ninety ninety six during the government shutdown he wanted to run for president and Bob Dole on four present, as your memory got us asked, roiling Bob's all got destroyed and he's a footnote in history, but so it's not a footnote in history that move the Clinton made to the right, because the government shutdown, Democrats fear gum
shut down. Democrats require government spending in order to Greece the wheels of their machinery. Republicans, don't republicans don't and for publicans fail to recognise this. If they play the Democrat game, where the government has to be open in order for everybody to be happy, they don't have moral credibility to come out against organizations evil organizations like plan parenthood. This is the bench of your.
