A Democratic Congress member from Detroit introduced a resolution for the impeachment of Donald Trump today on the House floor. This utterly pissed off the MAGA Republicans in the House, and they tried to cut off the Democratic Congress member from even speaking. I want to show you what went down here.
as you have Democratic Congress member, Shri Thanedar. He's a Congress member from Detroit. He's about to introduce this resolution for impeachment. Then MAGA Republican Representative Wilson says, "Stop talking, stop talking. I want to show you the introduction of this resolution. Let me show you what happens when the MAGA Republicans try to interrupt first. Let's play this clip. - Department of Education has enacted
in the Department of Education. From South Carolina, seek recognition. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Michigan was recognized for one minute. He has substantially exceeded one minute with absurdities. Actually, the gentleman at this point had spoken for one minute, then was recognized subsequently to give notice under Rule 9 for a resolution. So the gentleman has the floor for that purpose. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Michigan may continue.
So then finally, Democratic Congress member Thanadar gets to introduce the resolution. You know, and it's a pretty powerful resolution. Look, with the MAGA Republicans in control of the House and the Senate, they're not going to –
pass any such resolution, but Donald Trump is engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors before our eyes. It's clear that that's happening. Every single day, and frankly, multiple times a day, Donald Trump is committing crimes. Whether it's accepting bribes, whether it's defying Supreme Court orders, Donald Trump is a criminal.
He's always been. He's a felon. He's a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. He is a bankruptor. He is a utter embarrassment to the United States of America. So, you know, let me know what you think about the fact that Democratic Congress member Thanadar is introducing this resolution for impeachment. Obviously, the MAGA Republicans are going to block it. But what do you think about him even introducing it? Let me show you what went down. Play this clip. Mr. Speaker.
Pursuant to Clause 2A1 of Rule 9, I rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the privilege of the House. Yes, and the gentleman will read the notice. May I proceed? Yes, the gentleman can ask to read the notice. Mr. Speaker, the form of the resolution is as follows.
House Resolution 353 Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Resolved that Donald John Trump
President of the United States is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate. Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself
and of the people of the United States of America against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Article 1, obstruction of justice, violation of due process, and a breach
of the duty to faithfully execute laws. The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment and that the President shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of
treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Further, Article 2 of the Constitution states that the President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
And by the way, here the Congress member is talking about it even more, about, you know, what he's doing here, what he's after, what his goal is here. Here, play this clip. This is Congressman Sri Tanidar.
Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw. It's time we impeach Donald J. Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process.
Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact. This isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a dangerous, deliberate pattern. That's why today I introduced a resolution to impeach Donald J. Trump, outlining seven articles of impeachment.

leader right here, Hakeem Jeffries. And he's asked a question separately. The Trump DOJ, which by the way, in my view, is a criminal cartel, let's call them what they are, let's use accurate words. They're trying to now potentially arrest
Democratic Congress members in Newark, the same way Trump's DOJ arrested the mayor of Newark for simply asking questions about this private prison, Delaney Hall, with private prison guards paid for by tax dollars of We the People.
and the mayor of Newark saying, what the hell are you doing in my district? What are you doing in my city? Let me see what's going on here. I'm the mayor. Then they arrested him and they assaulted Democratic members of Congress. And now they're accusing the Democratic members of assaulting the private prison guards because they're the Gestapo. I mean, they're like, you know, the brown shirts. That's what the Trump DOJ has become. Here's what a Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, has to say. Play this clip. Questions.
Mr. Leader, good afternoon. What would you, your statement the other day after there was this incident in Newark, you said they better not touch our members. Correct. What happens if they were to go and arrest these members or if they would try to sanction them during the House of Representatives? They'll find out. What would you do? They'll find out. Of course. I mean, doesn't that broach a... They'll find out. Doesn't that go across... That's a red line. What's the red line, though? I mean, I know we have... It's a red line. It's very clear.
First of all, I think that the so-called Homeland Security spokesperson is a joke. It's a joke. They know better than to go down that road. And it's been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump administration. We're not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force
principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism. It hasn't happened during the entirety of this failed term. It didn't happen when Donald Trump temporarily was sitting high in the immediate aftermath of the election. Do you think it's going to happen now?
when he's the most unpopular president in American history after his first 100 days, give me a break. No one's intimidated by this dude. No one. And so there are clear lines that they just dare not cross.
And here's one of the propagandists of the regime angling to be the new pink dress lady after Caroline Levitt. Here she is, Tricia McLaughlin. She's been making a lot of appearances on Fox. Again, just an utter humiliating human being. Let's watch what she has to say. Play this clip. She's not fighting for American victims. And I'd like to lay out the facts.
The fact that it was these three members of Congress who trespassed, broke the law and stormed that ICE detention facility. They put law enforcement at risk. They put our detainees at risk and they put our staff at risk. Had they asked for a tour, we would have happily facilitated one for them. But there was absolutely no notice. And the fact that they put hands, they body slammed, body rammed, push, shove, whatever you want to call it. It was assault.
on our ICE agents, and it's unacceptable. Now, folks, there was also a markup in the Energy and Commerce Committee today. The markup is, again, to take away your Medicaid. The Energy and Commerce Committee is where markups around Medicaid take place, as we've reported here on the Midas Touch Network. Under the new GOP
tax bill, not the new one, the tax bill. They need to raise the debt ceiling by approximately $4 trillion or more, adding massive amounts of money, massive amounts to our deficit. This is the least fiscally responsible thing. They're going to be giving trillions and trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the billionaires. And the plan right now is to cut your Medicaid.
That's clear. Get rid of Medicaid. You'll lose it under the current way the resolution is framed. There were protests that broke out today. Chaos in the House, Hall in general. Play this clip. The chair, the committee will come to order. The chair, the chair will advise the audience that disruption of a congressional business is a violation of law and is a criminal offense.
Please come to order. The chair advises the audience that violations will not be tolerated and the violators will be removed from the room and may be subject to arrest.
No, it should also be noted, too, that MAGA Republican Congress members and senators, you know, I even think that they're feeling a little uncomfortable. And these are cult members, right, about the way Donald Trump is accepting bribes from Qatar and Middle East nations as Donald Trump is visiting them. For example, we have
MAGA Republican Congress member from New York, Mike Lawler. And here he's asked about the Trump regime accepting bribes from Qatar and what he feels about it. Let me show you what he has to say. Look, let's face it. Hamas is based in Qatar. OK, how do they explain that away? Hamas is based in Qatar. And what about this plane? What are your thoughts on this jumbo jet that the Qataris want to give President Trump?
I'm still seeking to get more clarity and information on it. I think obviously from the president's standpoint, you know, he wants to be able to have a plane that meets the needs of him and his administration. But obviously we don't want to be straight up accepting any type of
gift from any foreign government, certainly not one that can be viewed in a way that obviously has been presented here. So a lot more information that I think needs to come out on it.
Congressman, thank you so much. Good to see you. Here's MAGA Republican Senator Rand Paul asked about the bribes out in the open that Trump is accepting. Play this clip. On the jet, I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal to people and I don't like the look or appearance of it. So I would hope that he would reject it. The constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders.
It doesn't say you can't take gifts unless they're going to be for official use. We also do a lot of business with Qatar, and so we sell them a lot of arms. Essentially, the United States is the biggest arms merchant in the world. We sell arms everywhere.
and they're lucrative deals for the arms manufacturers. But I have actually tried to hold up arms sales before to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar because of their human rights records. So I don't know that we can have an honest appraisal of their human rights record and decisions on arms sales if we're receiving $400 billion gifts from a country. So I'm not for it. And all these nations now want to get in on the bribe actions. If you tell Donald Trump we want to build a Trump Tower,
he sacrifices American foreign policy and does whatever you want. We saw this in Saudi Arabia earlier. Trump is now lifting the sanctions on Syria after Syria's new president pitches a Trump Tower in Damascus, literally before and after Syria's new president says, we'll do Trump Tower Damascus. Trump announces he's lifting the sanctions on Syria. Now,
Corporate news can call all of this stuff out. Corporate news should be calling out Donald Trump's crimes. And by the way, I did other videos on this as well, so I don't need to repeat it here. I mean, but Donald Trump is clearly addled. He can't even speak in sentences. Can't speak in sentences. Like I show you these speeches that Donald Trump gives, right?
He doesn't, it's word salad. It's word mush, you know, and he's criming every single day. But what is, this tells you everything about our corporate news, right? What does our corporate news want to focus on right now? Of course, Joe Biden. It seems like every reporter wants to come out with a book right now, acting like former president Biden was like,
like mentally gone so that he couldn't even think and that like he needs like wheelchairs and like he, like we saw him. We saw him, he was old.
Yes, former President Biden, guess what? He was in his 80s. He was old. But you know what he was able to do? Speak in sentences, speak logically, have coherent policies, not declare trade wars against the world, and then capitulate every time that there's pressure, tank the markets, manipulate the markets, accept bribes. There was a coherent policy.
So y'all can just, you know, the media can focus on, oh, Biden's old. Okay. Yeah, he was old. He was an old guy. Sure. Should there be younger leadership? Is that the point you want to make? If that's what you want to say, then, you know, you could say that versus being just overtly ageist. But this is what they're focusing on. I mean, Jay Capper is out. They're all out with books and they all promote each other's books. Biden aides discussed wheelchair use if he were reelected new book says.
He's here in New York. We see him. He was out getting pizza. He looks good. We saw him at
Pope Francis's funeral looked great while Donald Trump was like drooling on himself. Like, could we just be really respectful? I mean, here's Biden. Let's play this. That's Biden today. On the other hand, we have Donald Trump
saluting the Saudi military as MBS is like with his heart. Thank you, Donald. Thank you, Donald. Well, I guess that's why we're taking their audience, huh?
