congressman. will you be missing out for turkey this year? first of all, i m not going to be missing out on turkey no matter what these reporters are trying to say. that s also different because i m in a place in my life where, yes, i am doing very well, i m not ashamed of that i worked hard in my early life. i m elected congress now. i have the means to do what needs to be done and put a turkey on my table. for somebody who is a working poor family of senior on a fixed income. they are struggling with this. so the last thing to joke about is whether they can put a turkey on their plate to me is insane and outrageous, this is what you get from the political left who does not care about the reality in the lives of the american people. the only othing they care about is accomplishing their agenda. lawrence: you know, monica, what s missing from this administration is accountability. they won t take accountability for the wreck rose actions and the impact it s having on the measure pe
public. it was backed by science. some people say that, you know, freedoms were taken away. do you see the similarities here? yes. every time that the government sort of raises the floor, right? and this is so ridiculous when it comes to vaccines because we re in the middle of a pandemic, but raises the safety floor, whether it s putting on seat belts or also remember when they banned smoking on airplanes. there were smokers and the tobacco industry who suggested that the airline industry would falter and people wouldn t fly anymore. so people are always putting these sort of fake science, fake news, and because they simply either don t like the policy or they personally don t want to be moved. so a couple months ago, and i ve been much i ve gotten much more forceful about mandates once we hit a wall, once the administration hit a wall in terms of vaccination. i sort of stopped caring about anyone s feelings. like i m done with feelings. you either get the vaccine and get to do all
comes to seatbelts. i hear it s uncomfortable. it wrinkles my clothes. it s not cool. you don t want it wear it? that s your choice. so, you know, the government instituted a measure i mean, as you can if i had told you they were talking about masks, right, right then, you would not know the difference. it s a measure protect the public, backed by science. some people say freedoms were taken away. do you see the similarities here? yes. every time the government sort of raises the floor, this is ridiculous when it comes to vaccines because we are in the middle of a pandemic, but raises the safety floor, whether putting on seatbelts or when they were banning smoking on airplanes. there were smokers and the tobacco industry suggesting that the airline industry would falter and people wouldn t fly anymore. people are always putting these
one who shares that opinion. a lot of people believe when you have will hurt, a very moderate republican, who is not republicaning for re-election, no ax to grind and not a fan of president trump saying there is none there from his point of view, many believe this impeachment thing has fallen far short of the goal. fu were defending the president and they will say, look, the intent is a big issue here. was there intent to let s say for instance, influence the testimony of yovanovitch? have you to show intent to derail the testimony. she testified. if you look at the intent and circle around whether there is intent of the criminal acts being investigated, that would be difficult to establish. it really is. almost everything heard secondhand, hear say or interpretation of something that wasn t said, but the person, recipient interpreted it a certain way, i know that wouldn t fly in a court of law,
