step out into public and it s a lot of song and dance. what i can tell you is that i had an assumption before i got to congress about what percentage of people in congress were serious and what percentage were basically team outrage. i thought team outrage was going to be about a third of the people who were there. it s not it s less than 10% and that s the good news. i try to give to my constituents when i report back to them about 1st 1st impressions here. yeah 22. you can see that the cameras in there, but they re also playing for the camera. so right again. can we talk about the debt ceiling? now the deadline is coming up. what do you think? should should the house negotiate with kevin mccarthy? the white house? the white house. i should say. excuse me. well, i think that s going to be very difficult until speaker mccarthy puts forth something that s at least in the ballpark of reasonable i don t think this initial bill from him is and he s expressed a lot of confidence that he s g
was a newsflash to you or a lot of people who follow politics closely, but a lot of america doesn t know that this anger is fake that you ve got a group of people in congress who are on team outrage and what they re doing is auditioning every day to be the captain of team outrage. do you have any specific examples? i have so many questions when it comes to this, but do you have any specific examples? examples for us congressman i think you know the people on this list and what i would give people is the formula for figuring out who s on this list. it s not who gets angry. it s who is always angry folks who are always angry. they re the ones who are auditioning. they re looking for the media outlets who are trying to keep their audience angry. and so if you can get access to those media, which is a huge win for these folks, and they re up there not to do public service, but just to get as much out access to those outlets as possible, okay, i m i m glad you said that because we would say
again. what do you say to that? how much hope does that give you from that republican chairman. none. none. so the bottom line is it s you none. dave incorporated team outrage into their model. they know that they need team outrage to go use certain news outlets to communicate with certain parts of their. for them by conveying that anger. well that is not an optimistic ending, but an important thing for us all to hear congressman jackson. i appreciate your time and thank you. thank you. the next russia desperately recruiting fighters . there s a new ad that says you re a real man, be one. this is a putin ally. talks openly about obliterating paris, london and new york and the latest on the manhunt for the man who allegedly shot a six year old and her parents after a ball rolled into his yard. sunday
you go out into public and everything changes and look, i m under no illusion that i m breaking any news to you or even the most of your viewers. but the reason i made that video is because it became very clear that a big percentage of americans i don t know this when they see the people yelling when they see the anger from congress. they think it s real. they think it s sincere and it was sort of my job as the new guy to report back to the rest of the country that very often it is not. they re just a bunch of people there who were on team outrage and they re not there to pass. was there there to try and be captain of team outrage every day? well one person who is certainly among the co captains of that is the republican congressman marjorie taylor green, and she came out today. and said that speaker mccarthy has her back, and she said that after the republican chairman, the republican chairman of the homeland security committee, banned her from speaking further in hearing after she ha
honest with you. i haven t had a lot of conversations with her behind closed doors, but that clip that you just showed that is exhibit a for what i am talking about. but what s more important than pointing out the insincerity behind all of that is the incentive structure that exists. i mean, as you said speaker, mccarthy went out and said, i have her back. there is an entire incentive structure that exists to protect the people who are willing to be on team outrage. that s what more americans need to understand. this isn t random behavior. there are rewards for bad behavior for members of congress. you get access to certain media outlets who also want to anger their audience. so there s an alignment of interests between these very angry politicians and media outlets that are trying to anger their audience. and basically, what she s doing is auditioning . that was an audition, and it worked. she got the part. great maybe we could with, mccarthy said, um, chairman green, though, saying t
