Chris Hayes on the GOP response to the Ohio train derailment: "Republicans can complain all they want. But what do you want to do? They can't really offer any real solutions. Because, in the end, this is just a classic story about corporate interests and regulation."

ALL IN STARTS RIGHT NOW.

GOOD EVENING FROM NEW YORK, I'M
0:07
CHRIS HAYES.
0:08
WHEN A PARTY WINS A NEW
0:10
MAJORITY IN CONGRESS, GENERALLY,
0:11
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS HIT THE
0:12
GROUND RUNNING.
0:14
SO FAR, REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT
0:15
DONE THAT.
0:17
AFTER AN INTERMINABLE SERIES OF
0:19
VOTES, IS LURKING BACK, THEY
0:22
DID FINALLY ELECT KEVIN
0:23
MCCARTHY SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE,
0:25
AND EARLIER THIS MONTH, CREDIT
0:27
WHERE IT IS THE, THEY DID
0:29
MANAGE TO KICK CONGRESSWOMAN
0:30
ILHAN OMAR OF THE FOREIGN
0:31
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FOR REASONS
0:33
THAT THERE ARE NOT FULLY FOR
0:34
RIGHT ON.
0:35
OR FROM THE, ON ISSUES OF
0:36
ACTUAL SUBSTANCE, THEY HAD
0:37
NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THE
0:38
MAJORITY.
0:39
AS THE NEW YORK TIMES PUT IT,
0:42
SOMEWHAT DIPLOMATICALLY, SIX
0:43
WEEKS INTO THEIR MAJORITY,
0:44
REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE FOUND
0:45
THEMSELVES PARALYZED ON SOME OF
0:47
THE BIGGEST ISSUES THEY
0:48
PROMISED TO ADDRESS AS THEY
0:49
PRESSED TO WIN CONTROL OF THE
0:50
HOUSE LAST YEAR.
0:52
QUITE SIMPLY, YOU MIGHT SAY
0:53
THAT REPUBLICANS ARE IN
0:55
DISARRAY, AND IT REALLY SHOULD
0:56
NOT BE THIS HARD.
0:57
THIS IS GOVERNING ON EASY MODE
0:59
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ONLY
0:59
CONTROLLED THE HOUSE WHILE
1:00
DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE SENATE
1:01
AND WHY ELSE.
1:03
THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO WORRY
1:04
ABOUT PASSING SOMETHING THAT
1:05
CAN BECOME LAW.
1:07
IT IS LITERALLY ALL JUST
1:09
MESSAGING BILLS, AND THEY
1:10
SOMEHOW CAN'T EVEN DO THAT
1:11
RIGHT.
1:12
AT THE RUNNING AN INTERIM
1:14
CAMPAIGN ON INFLATION, GAS
1:16
PRICES AND CRIME, THEY HAVE
1:17
DONE NOTHING TO EVEN
1:18
SYMBOLICALLY ADDRESS THOSE
1:19
ISSUES.
1:20
INSTEAD, THEY'VE TURNED
1:22
CONGRESS INTO THE LEGISLATIVE
1:24
BRANCH OF FOX NEWS, HOLDING
1:26
THESE HEARINGS ABOUT WHY THEIR
1:28
TWITTER ACCOUNTS WERE BANNED OR
1:29
PROMISING TO INVESTIGATE WHY A
1:31
TV PROVIDER DROPPED NEWS MAX.
1:33
YES, YOU CAN CHALK A LOT OF
1:35
THIS UP TO THE PERSONALITY
1:37
ISSUE, THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO
1:41
EXCEL IN MODERATE REPUBLICAN
1:44
POLITICS, THE FRACTIOUSNESS,
1:45
CALLING THE SHOTS IN A NARROW
1:46
MAJORITY.
1:46
BUT THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN IT.
1:48
ALL I ACTUALLY THINK THERE IS
1:49
SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER A PLEA.
1:51
I HAVE A THEORY HERE, AND AN
1:53
ILLUSTRATION OF THAT THEORY IN
1:55
ACTION IS ON DISPLAY RIGHT NOW
1:57
IN THE REACTION TO THE TRAIN
1:59
THE ROMAN DISASTER IN OHIO.
2:02
AS YOU LIKELY HEARD, AS MANY
2:04
COVERED IN THE PROGRAM LAST
2:06
NIGHT, A TRAIN CARRYING
2:08
CHEMICALS INCLUDING THE TOXIC
2:09
CHEMICAL GAS --
2:10
DERAILED NEAR THE OHIO
2:12
PENNSYLVANIA BORDER EARLIER
2:13
THIS.
2:14
MONTHS THAT INTERN STARTED A
2:15
FIRE AND THAT THEY HAD TO DO IT
2:17
CONTROL RELEASES SOME OF THOSE
2:19
CHEMICALS, WHICH BLANKETED THE
2:21
TOWN OF EAST PALESTINE, OHIO,
2:23
IN SMOKE.
2:25
THERE ARE, AS OF TODAY AND
2:28
CONTINUING, REALLY SIGNIFICANT
2:29
CONCERNS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT
2:30
LEAVING BEHIND A LASTING
2:32
ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.
2:33
MANY RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF
2:35
EAST PALESTINE ARE COMPLAINING
2:36
OF HEALTH ISSUES AND
2:37
UNDERSTANDABLY, FEARFUL ABOUT
2:38
RETURNING TO THEIR HOMES.
2:41
>> SOME LIVING IN THE AREA
2:44
STILL SMELLING STRONG CHEMICAL
2:45
ORDERS.
2:46
NOW THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE
2:47
TRANSPARENCY ABOUT TOXINS
2:49
LOOKING IN THE LOCAL CREEKS AND
2:50
ATMOSPHERE AND CAN POTENTIALLY
2:52
IMPACT THE AREA, AND THE EPA
2:54
SAYS THAT THE WATER SUPPLY IS
2:55
SAFE.
2:56
RESIDENTS ARE WORRIED THAT
2:57
HOMES WITH WATER MAY BE AT
2:59
RISK.
2:59
RESIDENTS SAY THEY WANT LONG
3:02
TERM TESTING WITH THE RESULTS
3:03
PUBLICLY POSTED.
3:04
>> THE JOURNALIST OF THE NEW
3:06
YORK REPUBLIC INTERVIEW PEOPLE
3:08
AROUND, INCLUDING A WOMAN THAT
3:09
--
3:10
FOR ENTERING HER TO
3:12
CONTAMINATED HOME.
3:13
QUOTE, AFTER LEAVING, HER EYES
3:14
BURNED AND ETCHED, HEARD THERE
3:16
WAS SORT, AND SHE HAD A RASH,
3:18
HER HUSBAND AND PUT ASSISTANCE
3:19
AT MIGRANTS.
3:20
JOSIE SIMPSON, A LIVES NEAR THE
3:21
SITE OF THE ROMAN, AS SEPARATE
3:23
FROM A SORE THROAT WHILE HER
3:24
EIGHT MONTH OLD BABY'S SUFFERED
3:25
RESPIRATORY ISSUES.
3:27
AFTER ENORMOUS PUBLIC PRESSURE,
3:29
NORFOLK SOUTHERN, THE RAIL
3:31
COMPANY THAT OPERATED THE TRAIN
3:32
THAT THE RAIL, ANNOUNCED A NEW
3:34
ROUND OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
3:36
TO BENEFIT THE IMPACTED
3:37
COMMUNITY TODAY, BUT IS PRETTY
3:38
CLEAR THAT A LOT MORE NEEDS TO
3:41
BE DONE TO THE PEOPLE OF EAST
3:42
PALESTINE.
3:43
THIS IS WHERE WE COME TO THE
3:47
FUNDAMENTAL FAILURE OF THE
3:49
REPUBLICAN PARTY RIGHT NOW.
3:50
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE HAD A
3:51
LOT TO SAY ON THE INCIDENT.
3:55
THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A
3:56
LOT, MOSTLY TRYING TO SCORE
3:57
POLITICAL POINTS AT THE EXPENSE
3:59
OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
4:01
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, CURRENT
4:02
LEADER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
4:03
VOTED TO --
4:05
WENT ON A SOMEWHAT BIZARRE
4:06
TWITTER RANT WHERE SHE SEEMED
4:09
TO BLAME POT ADULT RIDDLES FOR
4:10
CORRUPTING INSTITUTIONS.
4:12
OHIO REPUBLICAN SENATOR J.D.
4:14
VANCE, FRESH ON THE JOB, BLAMED
4:16
THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE
4:17
BILL FOR NOT MAGICALLY SOLVING
4:19
THE PROBLEM OF THE TRAINS THE
4:20
ROMAN OVERNIGHT.
4:21
>> WE'VE HAD HUNDREDS OF
4:23
TRAINED THE ROMANCE AFTER WE
4:24
SPENT OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS
4:26
ON INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS
4:26
COUNTRY.
4:27
THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT
4:29
GETTING OBVIOUSLY BETTER IS A
4:30
MAJOR INDICTMENT OF THE PEOPLE
4:31
SPENDING THE MONEY, AND WHAT
4:33
THEY'RE SPENDING THE MONEY ON.
4:35
>> THAT BILL PASSED IN NOVEMBER
4:37
OF 2021, THE APPROPRIATION FOR
4:38
THE MONEY, HAS NOT BEEN SPENT,
4:39
RIGHT?
4:40
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX AN
4:43
ENTIRE NATION'S CRUMBLING
4:43
INFRASTRUCTURE.
4:44
IT'S NOT CLEAR THAT THIS WAS
4:46
INFRASTRUCTURE GOING WRONG TO
4:47
BEGIN WITH.
4:48
A NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS HAVE
4:51
ALSO COME FORWARD TO BLAME
4:52
BIDEN'S HIGH-PROFILE
4:53
TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE
4:55
BUTTIGIEG, INCLUDING FLORIDA
4:56
CONGRESSMAN BYRON DONALD.
4:58
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY WE
5:00
TAKE THE BUTTIGIEG SERIOUSLY AT
5:01
THIS POINT.
5:02
THIS MAN, THE ONLY REASON HE'S
5:04
IN HIS JOB IS BECAUSE OF HIS
5:05
INTERSECTIONALITY.
5:06
LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THE
5:06
SITUATION.
5:07
HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S
5:08
DOING.
5:09
HE'S A TERRIBLE TRANSPORTATION
5:10
SECRETARY.
5:11
LOOK, WHEN THE SUPPLY CHAINS
5:14
WERE BEING INVOLVED, NOBODY
5:15
EVEN KNEW HE WAS THERE.
5:18
>> HE WAS ON PATERNITY LEAVE
5:19
WHEN THAT HAPPENED, BECAUSE HIS
5:20
CHILD WAS BORN.
5:22
TO BE CLEAR, DONALD IS ACCUSING
5:23
BUTTIGIEG OF ONLY GETTING'S JOB
5:25
BECAUSE HE'S GAY, A GROSS
5:26
SMEAR.
5:27
ONE PODCASTER TOOK THINGS A
5:29
STEP FURTHER.
5:30
>> WITH THE JUDGE IS OUT
5:34
TALKING ABOUT HOW WORKERS ARE
5:37
TWO WHITE FOR THE LAST COUPLE
5:39
OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN WARNING
5:41
ABOUT THIS CRUSADE AGAINST WHAT
5:42
PEOPLE.
5:43
PEOPLE SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS
5:44
AND SAY, OH CHARLIE, WHY DOES
5:45
THAT MATTER?
5:46
I CAN TELL YOU WHY IT MATTERS
5:48
WHEN THERE IS A CRISIS NOW AND
5:50
THE LEADERS HATE WORKING CLASS
5:51
WHITES, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
5:52
SCRAMBLE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE,
5:53
THEY WILL LIE TO YOU AND TELL
5:55
YOU TO GO BACK HOME WHILE YOU
5:57
ARE POISONED.
5:58
>> BY AND TELL YOU TO GO BACK
6:00
HOME WHILE YOUR POISONED, SURE,
6:01
THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO BLACK
6:03
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE,
6:04
YEAH, LET ME CHECK ON THE
6:06
HISTORY, NO, DEFINITELY NEVER
6:07
HAPPENED.
6:09
OKAY, I AM CHERRY-PICKING,
6:11
PARTICULARLY LUDICROUS EXAMPLES,
6:12
BUT THERE IS A REAL THING THAT
6:14
HAPPENED, RIGHT?
6:14
A VERY REAL THING.
6:17
REAL PEOPLE, REAL IMPACTED BY A
6:19
REAL DISASTER, TANGIBLE THING.
6:21
WHENEVER THERE IS A PROBLEM OR
6:23
CRISIS, FOLKS ON THE RIGHT GOT
6:25
SOME ONE OR SOME GROUP THAT IS
6:26
NOT THAT YOU AND MAYBE IS THE
6:29
OPENLY GAY SECRETARY
6:31
TRANSPORTATION OR FICTIONAL
6:32
WOKE ELITES CONSPIRING AGAINST
6:34
WHITE PEOPLE, AND I GET IT,
6:35
REPUBLICANS THINK THAT THIS IS
6:37
A VERY SOUND RHETORICAL
6:38
POLITICAL STRATEGY, AND I GET
6:39
WHY THEY ARE WORKED UP ABOUT
6:40
THE ISSUE.
6:42
EAST PALESTINE, A VERY WHITE,
6:44
RURAL WORKING CLASS PLACE, THE
6:45
KIND OF TOWN THAT DONALD TRUMP
6:48
AND FOX NEWS TELLS YOU HAS BEEN
6:49
FORGOTTEN ABOUT FROM WOKE
6:50
ELITES.
6:51
WHEN THEY SAY THAT IT'S BEEN
6:52
LEFT BEHIND, IT'S NOT ENTIRELY
6:53
WRONG.
6:54
THERE IS A NUGGET OF TRUTH
6:55
THERE.
6:56
IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT PEOPLE TO
6:57
JUDGE A SECRETARY OF
6:58
TRANSPORTATION, THAT HE IS NOT
7:00
THE GUY TO TAKE CHARGE OF
7:02
REGULATORY RAILROADS AND
7:04
LEGITIMATE CRITICISMS ABOUT HIS
7:06
JOB APARTMENTS, OUTSIDE OF HIS
7:07
IDENTITY, IS FAIR GAME.
7:08
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE
7:10
ADMINISTRATION OR PRESIDENCY,
7:10
THIS IS THE STUFF YOU HAD TO
7:11
ANSWER FOR.
7:12
THERE IS A MAJOR TRAIN DORMANT
7:14
ON YOUR WATCH, OKAY, SO FAR, SO
7:15
GOOD.
7:16
THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM, PETE
7:18
BUTTIGIEG IS REALLY THE
7:19
TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY, BUT
7:21
HERE IS WHERE ALL OF THE SUDDEN,
7:22
IT ENDS.
7:24
REPUBLICANS CAN COMPLAIN ALL
7:26
DAY LONG, BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT
7:28
TO DO?
7:30
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
7:33
THEY CAN'T REALLY OFFER ANY
7:34
SOLUTIONS BECAUSE IN THE END,
7:37
THIS IS A CLASSIC STORY ABOUT
7:38
CORPORATE INTEREST IN
7:39
REGULATION.
7:40
WE CORPORATIONS LIKE THE REBEL
7:42
COMPANIES NORTH OF --
7:44
AND THE CHEMICAL COMPANIES,
7:46
WHOSE CHEMICALS THEY TRANSPORT,
7:47
HAVE EVERY MONETARY INCENTIVE
7:49
UNDER SHAREHOLDER CAPITAL WOODS
7:52
TO KEEP REGULATION LIGHT SO
7:54
THEY'RE COST A LOW AND THEN IF
7:56
SOMETHING GOES BAD, THEY CAN
7:57
EXTERNALIZE THE COST OF
8:00
DISASTERS LIKE THIS, RIGHT?
8:02
THE GOVERNMENT, IN TURN, HAS A
8:04
RESPONSIBILITY TO PUSH
8:06
REGULATION, ANYWAY, TO PREVENT
8:08
THE BURDEN OF DISASTERS LIKE
8:10
THIS FALLING ON REGULAR FOLKS
8:11
LIKE THOSE IN A TOWN OF EAST
8:12
PALESTINE.
8:13
FOR THE BULLS LIKE MYSELF, THIS
8:15
IS ALL PRETTY CLEAR STORY.
8:17
THE SOLUTIONS HERE ARE PRETTY
8:18
CLEAR.
8:19
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE BETTER
8:21
REGULATION.
8:22
AND STRONGER WORKER POWER.
8:24
HERE'S ONE EXAMPLE, RIGHT?
8:28
FOR INSTANCE, THERE WAS AN
8:31
OBAMA ERA TRAIN RULES FOR CARS
8:33
CARRYING MATERIALS --
8:34
THAT WAS ELIMINATED UNDER
8:36
DO TRUMP, ALTHOUGH IT WAS
8:39
ELIMINATED WITH A ASSIST UNDER
8:40
A SMALL PROVISION PASSED BY
8:42
CONGRESS AND SIGNED BY OBAMA.
8:43
BUT THE TRAIN LOBBY LOBBIED FOR
8:47
AND WATERED DOWN THE
8:48
LEGISLATION.
8:49
IN THIS CASE, IT WAS NOT THE
8:51
BREAK-IN, WE THINK, THERE WAS A
8:52
FIRE FOR THE TRAIN DERAILED,
8:55
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S THE KIND OF
8:57
CREDENTIAL SAFETY REGULATION
8:57
YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE.
8:59
OKAY, MAYBE WE HAVE TO UPDATE
9:01
SAFETY REGULATORY STANDARDS ON
9:02
TRAIN CARS LIKE THIS.
9:03
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE POLLUTERS PAY
9:05
FOR THE CLEANUP COST, DISASTERS
9:06
CAUSED BY THEIR PRODUCTS AND
9:08
SERVICES --
9:09
AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST TOO
9:11
STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS, POLICY
9:13
ANSWERS, THAT WILL MAKE PEOPLE
9:14
LIVES TEND TO BE BETTER OR
9:17
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, BUT HERE
9:19
IS THE, DON'T CONTEMPORARY
9:21
CONSERVATIVES AND THE
9:22
REPUBLICAN PARTY CAN'T OFFER
9:24
THOSE TYPES OF SOLUTIONS.
9:26
CAN THEY SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE
9:28
NEED TO REGULATE THE RAILROAD
9:29
COMPANIES?
9:30
NO, ARE THEY GOING TO SAY THAT?
9:33
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE GREEDY
9:35
COMPANIES, THEY CAN'T DO THAT,
9:37
THAT'S WHAT LIPS WANT TO DO.
9:39
CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT
9:41
IDEOLOGICALLY DISPOSED OF THOSE
9:41
KINDS OF EMBERS.
9:43
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE ENTIRE
9:44
SUPERSTRUCTURE OF REPUBLICAN
9:46
POLITICS, INCLUDING THEIR
9:46
DONORS, WILL NOT LET THEM DO
9:47
IT.
9:48
NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE SERVICE
9:50
THEY PAY TO REGULAR, WORKING
9:52
FOLKS ON THEIR VARIOUS PODCASTS,
9:55
THE PARTY IS FUNDAMENTALLY,
9:57
FUNDAMENTALLY, WHEN THE CHIPS
9:58
ARE DOWN, WHEN IT'S TRYING TO
10:00
HIT THE ROAD AND GOVERN,
10:01
THEY'RE HOLDING TO THE RICH AND
10:03
CORPORATE INTEREST.
10:03
THERE ARE CONSERVATIVES
10:04
WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW, WHO
10:06
WILL SEE THIS CLIP AND PRAY
10:06
WITH ME.
10:07
I PROMISE YOU.
10:08
HERE IS EXAMPLE UNDER ONE,
10:10
KEVIN MCCARTHY, THE NEW SPEAKER
10:10
AT THE HOUSE.
10:12
THE TOP REPUBLICAN IN THE
10:13
COUNTRY, ESSENTIALLY LETTING
10:15
HIS BUDDY, JEFF MILLER, WHO IS
10:17
LIKE A TOP CORPORATE LOBBYIST
10:19
BASICALLY HELP RUN THE PARTY.
10:21
THE GUY WAS LIKE RUNNING THE
10:23
WAR ROOM BEHIND A SPEAKER VOTE.
10:25
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION
10:26
OF FREDERICK.
10:27
IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF SOME
10:28
PARTS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
10:31
POLITICS IS ABOUT INTEREST AND
10:34
POWER AND WHO THE GOVERNMENT
10:36
HELPS AND HURTS AND WHAT IT
10:36
DOES.
10:37
SO WHAT THE REPUBLICANS REALLY
10:38
CARE ABOUT?
10:39
THERE IS A RECORD HERE.
10:41
WHAT DID THEY DO WHEN THEY HAVE
10:41
POWER?
10:43
WELL, THEY HAD A TRIFECTA, THEY
10:45
HAD THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE
10:47
HOUSE AND SENATE, AND THEY
10:49
TRIED TO REPEAL OBAMACARE,
10:50
WHICH BY THE WAY, WOULD HAVE
10:52
ABSOLUTELY SCREWED OVER WHITE
10:53
WORKING CLASS VOTERS.
10:56
EVEN TUCKER CARLSON, THE FAKE
11:00
POPULIST, FROZEN FOOD AIR, HOLD
11:01
TRUMP OUT FOR IT.
11:03
>> THIS BILL HAS AS ONE OF ITS
11:06
CENTER PIECES, A TAX CUTS FOR
11:08
INVESTORS WHO PRIMARILY BENEFIT
11:09
PEOPLE MAKING OVER $250,000 A
11:11
YEAR, ALREADY DONE PRETTY WELL
11:12
OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS, AS YOU
11:12
KNOW.
11:14
A BLOOMBERG AND HOUSES SHOWS
11:15
THAT COUNTIES THAT VOTED FOR
11:17
YOU, MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING
11:19
CLASS COUNTIES, WOULD DO FAR
11:21
LESS WELL UNDER THIS BILL DANDY
11:24
COUNTIES, THE AFFLUENT
11:24
COUNTIES.
11:25
IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS
11:27
INCONSISTENT WITH THE MESSAGE
11:28
FOR THE LAST ELECTION.
11:29
>> A LOT OF THINGS ARE
11:30
INCONSISTENT.
11:31
>> PERFECT, PERFECT.
11:33
WE RAN ON AND WAS GREW OVER THE
11:36
GLOBALISTS AND HELP THE LOCAL
11:38
ELITES, BUT NOW YOU PASS A TAX
11:40
CUT FOR THE RICH AND GROWING
11:41
OVER THE U IN THE, I DON'T GET
11:42
IT.
11:43
YEAH, YOU JUST PUT YOUR FINGER
11:45
ON THE CONTRADICTION AT THE
11:46
HEART OF A.
11:48
ALL OBAMA CARE REPEAL FAILED,
11:50
SO REPUBLICANS MOVED ON TO PLAN
11:51
B.
11:52
AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO
11:53
WITH POWER?
11:54
AND IT WAS THE BIGGEST TAX CUT
11:57
SINCE RONALD REAGAN.
11:58
THEY SLASHED A DECOR PROTECTS
12:00
RIGHT, THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT
12:00
TO DO.
12:01
THAT WAS ABOUT IT.
12:02
THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE
12:04
GOVERNING AGENDA.
12:05
THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE
12:07
MODERN REPUBLICAN PARTY.
12:09
WHO THEY ARE, WHO THEY CLAIMED
12:13
TO ARE FUNDAMENTALLY US.
12:16
BECAUSE IT IS TRUE, THEIR BASE
12:19
INCREASINGLY IS RURAL, WORKING
12:21
CLASS VOTERS.
12:23
FOLKS WHO HAVE REAL MATERIAL
12:25
NEEDS, LIKE THE PEOPLE OF EAST
12:27
PALESTINE WHO CANNOT GET TO
12:28
THEIR HOME, THEY NEED TO BE
12:29
MET.
12:30
BUT ALL THEY CAN OFFER THEM'S
12:32
CULTURE WAR NONSENSE.
12:33
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU'RE
12:36
TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY IS GAY,
12:37
BECAUSE THEIR CORPORATE MASKERS
12:38
WON'T LET THEM DO ANYTHING TO
12:40
TAKE ON THE BIG CORPORATIONS OR
12:42
HELP WORKERS OR ORGANIZED LABOR,
12:44
AND SO WHAT YOU GET, YOU GET A
12:46
LOT OF TWEETS.
12:47
YOU'VE GOT A PAGE ON THE HOUSE
12:50
REPUBLICAN WEBSITE ADVERTISING
12:51
ALL THEIR MEMBERS VARIOUS
12:53
PODCASTS.
12:54
YOU CAN LISTEN TO ALL THEIR
12:54
POCKETS.
12:55
LOOK AT THAT, THEY ALL GOT
12:57
CAUCUS, GOOD FOR THEM.
12:59
ON THOSE PODCASTS, THEY RAILED
13:01
AGAINST THE LIBERAL ELITES, BUT
