>>> AROUND THIS TIME LAST NIGHT REPUBLICANS ON THE HOUSE OVERNIGHT COMMITTEE ARE HOLDING A SHAM HEARING RELATED TO THEIR BAD-FAITH ATTEMPT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON AUDIO RECORDINGS FOR SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT HERS INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. THEY WANT TO HOLD THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND -- IN CONTEMPT WITHOUT GIVING INTO THE RIDICULOUS COMMANDS EVEN THOUGH THE WHITE HOUSE HAS ALREADY EXERTED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE OVER THE AUDIO. AND IF ALL THAT WAS NOT EMBARRASSING ENOUGH THE REASON THEY HELD THE HEARING THAT IT:00 P.M. AT NIGHT IS BECAUSE A BUNCH OF REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE SPENT THEIR AFTERNOON HERE IN NEW YORK AND DONALD TRUMP'S MANHATTAN CRIMINAL TRIAL. THINGS GET EVEN WORSE. ONCE ACTUALLY HELD THE HEARING THE ENTIRE PROCEEDING WAS DERAILED. BY CONGRESSMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE. -- >> I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF THE DEMOCRATS ON THIS COMMITTEE ARE EMPLOYING JUDGE MERSHON'S DAUGHTER. >> PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH MERRICK GARLAND. DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR? >> I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HERE FOR PERIODS I THINK YOUR FAKE EYELASHES ARE MESSING UP -- >> HOLD ON. HOLD ON. ORDER. >> I'M JUST CURIOUS. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR RULING . IF SOMEONE ON THIS COMMITTEE THEN STARTS TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY'S BLEACH BOND -- BLEACH BLONDE -- BODY. >> CHAIRMAN, A MAKE A MOTION TO STRIKE THOSE WORDS. >> ROBERT GARCIA IS A DEMOCRAT OF CALIFORNIA THAT SERVES ON THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WHERE HE WATCHED ALL OF THAT UNFOLD LESLIE. CONGRESSMAN, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU ARE IN THE HEARING LAST NIGHT. I KNOW HOW IT LOOKED AND FELT AS WE WATCHED IT UNFOLD. WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN THE ROOM AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE REPUBLICAN THEATRICS? >> FIRST, LET'S BE REALLY, REALLY CLEAR. THIS WAS 100% MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN AND HER ENTIRE CLOWN SHOW IN THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO WATCH. SHE DISPARAGED CONGRESSWOMAN CROCKETT AND OCASIO-CORTEZ. JAMES CULVER DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP THIS MADNESS. AND THAT'S WHAT'S MOST FRUSTRATING. HE LET THE THING GO ON, AND ON, AND ON. WE CAN'T EVEN GET TO OVERSIGHT. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS TURNED CONGRESS INTO THIS HUGE JOKE. SHE'S ATTACKING THE WAY MEMBERS LOOK AND ADDRESS. WE ARTY KNOW THAT THIS WHOLE INVESTIGATION IS A SHAM. LET'S NOT FORGET WHY WE WERE THERE SO LATE AT NIGHT. THE HEARING WAS ACTUALLY SCHEDULED FOR 11:00 A.M. IN THE DAY BUT THEY CANCELED IT AND MOVE IT TO THE NIGHTTIME BECAUSE ALL THOSE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTED TO BE AT THE DONALD TRUMP TRIAL IN NEW YORK MISSING VOTES DURING THE DAY INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY HAVING THE HEARING. THIS COMPLETELY ON THEM. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN, BY THE WAY, SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ALL COMMITTEES AND THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK. >> THERE IS ONE NAME YOU DID NOT NAME. THAT IS A LAUREN BOBERG. I WANT TO PLAY IN EXCHANGE YOU HAD LAST NIGHT. >> WE KNOW THAT TRUMP'S PUBLIC STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN CRAZY FOR YEARS. AND WE KNOW THAT HE'S TOO TIRED AND SLEEPY TO STAY AWAKE THROUGH HIS OWN CRIMINAL TRIAL. IT'S NOT PRESIDENT BIDEN WHO IS NOT SHARP. IT IS IN FACT DONALD TRUMP. >> MR. GARCIA, MAYBE YOU COULD LIFT UP THAT PICTURE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP SLEEPING. AS YOU SAY, I THINK HE'S PRAYING. BUT IF HE IS SLEEPING HE CERTAINLY LOOKS PRETTY WHILE HE SLEEPS. >> DO YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP WAS DEEP IN PRAYER? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE KNOW FIRST HE'S NOT A RELIGIOUS MAN. THAT WAS BIZARRE. SHE WENT ON THIS WHOLE TIRADE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY PRAYING BUT HE IS NOT SLEEPING DURING THE COURT TRIAL. WE KNOW THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORK POST AND NBC, FORBES. ALL OUTLETS HAVE REPORTED THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ASLEEP FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME DURING HIS COURT TRIAL. AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE POINTING OUT IS THE HYPOCRISY OF THE COURT CASE WERE DONALD TRUMP IS SLEEPING, AS WE ALL KNOW, IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS SAY THAT SOMEHOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TOO TIRED OR TOO OLD. OR SOMEHOW HE'S NOT MENTALLY ALL THERE ALL THE TIME. WHICH WE KNOW IS COMPLETE BALONEY. AND EVEN ROBERT, WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTIGATING -- HAS ZERO EVIDENCE HERE. SO THIS IS A COMPLETE JOKE. DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN SLEEPING ON HIS CASE AND LAUREN KNOWS THAT. >> I WANT TO PUT ALL OF THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF WHY IT MATTERS. IT WAS REALLY WELL INTERCALATED -- OFTEN ON THIS NETWORK AS AN EXPERT ON AUTHORITARIANISM. THE GOAL IS TO OBSTRUCT GOVERNANCE. DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION WARFARE ARE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN -- GREENE'S AIDES. GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT, THE KEY TO HEALTHY DEMOCRACY . WHAT WE ARE WATCHING UNFOLD, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME EVEN BIGGER AND MORE NEFARIOUS THAN ANY SINGLE EXCHANGE. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE SHOULD BE REALLY, REALLY CLEAR THAT OVERSIGHT IS A CRITICAL FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT . ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE FOLKS LIKE DONALD TRUMP. THE FACT THAT WE CANNOT CONDUCT BUSINESS, THE FACT THAT WE CAN'T BE INVESTIGATING WHY KUSHNER, WE SEE $2 BILLION FOR THE SAUDIS. THE FACT THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHY DONALD TRUMP IS PROMISING OIL EXECUTIVES TAX BREAKS AND INCENTIVES. THAT'S REAL OVERSIGHT. FOLKS LIKE
