Early in the 20th century, there is a columnist known all over the country named H. L. Manken, and he has two quotes I want to read to you right now. Quote number one, quote, democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. Quote number two, no one in this world so far as I know, and I have searched the records for years and employed agents to help me, has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people, nor has anyone

ever lost public office thereby. I point this out because we live in a representative

0:29.3

House of Representatives who represent us in Congress yesterday,

0:40.6

I would just like to point out that these are all elected representatives of the United States.

0:45.1

1:15.1

If you think I'm being harsh, I present to you the following clip, which is not in fact from

1:19.0

Jerry Springer.

1:20.1

It is from the Congress.

1:21.6

So yesterday, for some odd reason that no one can quite discern, a giant fight broke out between Marjorie Taylor

1:29.2

Green, noted intellectual congresswoman from Georgia, MTG, AOC, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, of course,

1:36.9

you can always tell this is like a W-W-E face-off when all of the Congress people are just known

1:41.5

1:45.2
