 You are risking their lives and my grandson's for the gun people. Are you kidding me? We had a shooting in Des Moines And here's one more thing you and Senator Irms hearts and prayers whatever Why are you not down at those females in Texas? You seem to think it's okay to arm the whole country with 400 million guns More than people in our country So why are you down there mourning with those parents the immunity one first? I don't know about All of you, but it's a sad commentary When we Somebody can kill all the kids that have killed you think that the safest place to go Would be Saint your kids in school would be the safest place We all we all feel very sad about all that stuff as well and When it comes to the issue of guns As resolved of what has happened after several shootings In this one particularly Senator Schumer has assigned Senator Murphy and Senator McConnell has assigned Senator Cornyn of Texas to See what could be put together Yesterday they had a meeting by zoom And they had very positive results that they think they've got a framework put together That's something can be done to stop this violence through some gun legislation and through some School safety issues and so to answer your question I'm gonna wait until the report next week before I decide what I'm going to do We just watched Republican senator chug Grassley's constituents rip him a new asshole because he is refusing to do Well anything with regard to gun control and that was so so Satisfying to see my favorite part was when he was speaking really quietly and somebody else speak up And then he did That gives me hope because these constituents and I think a lot of Americans across the country are beginning to realize that You are the boss of these politicians. It's not the other way around You paid their bills for them your tax dollars fund their salaries You are in control of them and if they don't do a good job You can reprimand them you can even fire them So i'm glad that people across this country are finding their voices and it happens because everyone is just fed up There's so many crises in this country And when you see gun violence upon gun violence just yesterday There were three shootings happening simultaneously one of them was a mass shooting at a hospital in Tulsa So you see this happen time and again and then these politicians they show up to these town halls with the same talking points from their donors and you could just see that The constituents have had enough now this usually doesn't happen at these town halls with chuck grasley if it did I'd argue he probably wouldn't show up to them as frequently But these more smaller intimate town halls usually don't go that way So I'd argue that he was probably caught off guard as ios starting line reports About 20 people were in the audience at his louisa county forum Smaller crowds typically result in more subdued discussion at grasley events But that was not the case here multiple attendees pushed back Interrupted and called out grasley's role in blocking gun safety legislation from coming to the senate floor Several audience members pressed grasley multiple times over what new gun safety measures He'd be open to supporting but grasley repeatedly avoided committing to supporting or opposing any particular idea He insisted he wanted to wait to see what the legislative negotiations between republican senator john cornyne of texas And democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut had produced a bullshit grasley believed that withholding public judgment on any potential fix would help the negotiations advance What a load of horse shit He defended his past vote to provide legal immunity to gun manufacturers saying I voted for it because I believe an honest Business ought to not be sued for something that somebody else does attendees pointed out that almost no other companies are given similar protections One man suggested banning the sale of ar-15s Which he described as they're there to kill people grasley noted that there's already 15 million ar-15s out in the country The number may be closer to 20 million You're still going to have ar-15s even if you stop selling them right now grasley said The answer is not to do nothing one woman in the back of the room yelled in response You absolutely love to see it and I've got one more clip for you But I just want to discuss overall how you know, they'll They'll ask him a question He'll come up with some bullshit excuse and then they will slap it down Okay, so you can't take ar-15s out of circulation because there's too many so then you do Nothing and understand they're yelling this across the room at him and he's sitting there very quietly Just taking it like the little cuck that he is because deep down He knows his constituents are pissed and the republican parties refusal to do absolutely anything It's reached a breaking point now that doesn't necessarily mean that they will take action But it has pissed a lot of people off and rightfully so I mean in the first clip there that we watched The woman said you're putting my granddaughter or my grandchildren at risk here You know if you have a family member who's a teacher you're putting them at risk So enough is enough we're tired of the excuses if you're not going to do anything Then just admit it stop with the bullshit excuses that you get probably directly from the gun industry Now um one more clip that I want to play for you is really important because they talk about the need to ban ar-15s And they explain how it's important now because of the rise in violence that we're seeing From republicans because republicans quite frankly are fucking crazy And an example that was given by one of grassleys constituents was how they stormed the capital So take a look at the way that they press him and this was really really just great to watch I'm going to look directly at you and be kind of harsh. You guys need to get it together Because if you don't get it together, there's some people out amongst us that are going to become more violent And we are One more election like we just had and this shenanigans that have gone on for two years with people Well, I'm not sure whether it was a fair election or not a fair election Or I don't know if the boat's gone or didn't come that stuff's gotta stop. Yeah Yeah, I work the pole and I hear people come in there to vote and say can I take is that machine going to take my boat? skeptics Can I take off for you said find the center? Because that's what's absolutely necessary in the united states senate when you got 50 republicans 50 democrats and take 60 votes No, it doesn't You make it do that Well, that's what the rules of the senate who cares about the rules. It's not the constitution But but now you hamstruck yourself with the rules. Well, right You're letting the attorneys run the show right Every single concern that they brought up was absolutely valid This is chug rastley's party So as somebody who's been in congress in the senate for a very long time He can try to steer the ship in a different direction, but he's not doing that and they're mad at him and by favorite favorite part Uh, it takes 60 votes to move a bill. This is what he said to his constituents, but they were not having it So, uh, they said no, it doesn't you make it do that You make it do that and I wish that somebody would show up to a democratic party Members town hall and say the same thing because democrats say the same thing to be fair But this is something that they have chosen to allow They like to use the 60 vote majority vote as a as a sort of excuse Oh, that's the threshold that we can't meet Except it's bullshit You choose to have that rule and as one of his constituents pointed out that rule isn't in the constitution So either you're going to take action or protect us or you're going to continue to come up with these bullshit excuses And you'll understand how increasingly We're getting fed up So that town hall right there honestly gave me so much hope because citizens across this country are finally finding their voice Workers across this country are rising up and demanding rights. They're unionizing and we're seeing More and more at these town halls That They're not taking it anymore. They're done with these bogus excuses. They're done with the same talking points We've been we've been hearing for literally decades now They're done. They're fed up and now they're screaming at their senators If you don't like being screamed at, you know, Chuck Grassley, Ted Cruz anyone else Well, you can thank yourself because you are the reason why it's gotten to this point You have refused to take action and now people are so pissed That they feel as if they have to berate you To your face in order to get you to wake the fuck up But the problem is you can't get them to change their point of view With words because these are politicians who are bought and paid for by specific industries They don't represent those constituents right there. They represent their donors And that's what americans are also waking up to but it's just really nice to see them slap down any talking point That's brought up. I love it. Nobody's buying the bullshit anymore and we're fucking pissed Good. I want to see more of this
