BREAKING: Dems BOTCH Hegseth IMPEACHMENT! | Luke Thomas Gets Political · Luke Thomas Gets Political (LTGP)

• 0:00
  Gang, I'm in my hotel room in New York
• 0:03
  City. I'm sorry for the strange and
• 0:05
  bizarre setup, but I had to make a video
• 0:08
  here. We have breaking news, and I'm
• 0:11
  about to lose my mother effing
• 0:15
  mind.
• 0:17
  Mind. I'm about to lose my mind. Um,
• 0:20
  today the House took up the cause of
• 0:24
  whether or not to advance the
• 0:25
  legislation, basically to impeach Pete
• 0:28
  Hexath and then send whatever they have
• 0:30
  to the Senate. And it failed because
• 0:32
  Republicans blocked it, which you would
• 0:34
  expect. But you might say, well, look,
• 0:36
  what's the math on that? Well,
• 0:40
  part of the reason why it failed
• 0:43
  is that 11 Democrats
• 0:46
  just failed to show up.
• 0:50
  11 Democrats failed to show up to the
• 0:53
  impeachment vote
• 0:56
  with the articles of impeachment put in
• 0:57
  by Representative Thomas Massie of
• 0:59
  Kentucky
• 1:02
  because they just weren't whipped into
• 1:04
  place or they didn't feel like it. Let
• 1:06
  me read you the names. We have Julia
• 1:07
  Brownley. This is a California rep.
• 1:09
  These again, these are all Democrats.
• 1:10
  These are the ones who didn't post. Lou
• 1:12
  Koreah. We have Laura Gillan. I can't
• 1:15
  again I don't have my glasses so please
• 1:16
  forgive me if I'm getting some of this
• 1:17
  wrong. Steve Horford out of Nevada. Uh
• 1:21
  by the way I think he spoke in favor of
• 1:22
  the destroying the Ali Act. A real a
• 1:25
  real winner that guy is uh Melanie
• 1:27
  Stanbury out of New Mexico. Britney
• 1:29
  Peterson out of Colorado. Nancy Pelosi I
• 1:33
  mean
• 1:35
  I mean what do you even say at this
• 1:36
  point?
• 1:38
  Jonathan Jackson. Haley Stevens if you
• 1:42
  can believe it. Uh, and who are the
• 1:44
  other ones here? Haley, Steven,
• 1:45
  Strickland, and then Wilson out of
• 1:48
  Florida. These are the Dems. I'll put
• 1:50
  their pictures up um on this video.
• 1:52
  Hopefully, if I can get it edited in
• 1:54
  time. They just failed to post and they
• 1:56
  wouldn't have needed all 11. I think
• 1:57
  they only needed seven of them. They But
• 1:59
  they essentially if those people had
• 2:02
  shown up, it would have happened. You
• 2:03
  know, maybe Haley Stevens would have
• 2:05
  sabotaged it, but even then it still
• 2:06
  would have it would have worked. Now,
• 2:08
  you might say, Luke, well, okay, well,
• 2:11
  what what what's the big deal here?
• 2:12
  Well, understand something, dude. They
• 2:15
  just got a mandate to do something, to
• 2:18
  act, and this is one of the first things
• 2:20
  they can do to act. And you might say,
• 2:22
  well, there's a bunch of new ones coming
• 2:24
  in, and that's true. But the whole point
• 2:27
  was like this was such a clear message
• 2:29
  sent. And yes, was it about
• 2:31
  affordability? Of course it was. Was it
• 2:32
  about ICE abuses? Of course it was. But
• 2:34
  it was also about reigning in the abuses
• 2:37
  of the Trump administration. people. You
• 2:39
  don't get James Taller Rico at plus
• 2:42
  effing 12 in Texas if people aren't
• 2:46
  extremely pissed off and extremely
• 2:47
  frustrated about the governance and
• 2:49
  about the you people this is not
• 2:52
  selfdealing per se but criminality right
• 2:54
  when we're talking about like part of
• 2:56
  the articles of impeachment that Massie
• 2:57
  put in I think it's eight or nine of
• 2:58
  them part of them is of course you know
• 3:00
  that they started the Iran war but then
• 3:02
  the individual points of conduct beat
• 3:03
  within it blowing up the girl school
• 3:06
  doubletapping people against uh the the
• 3:09
  laws of our own our own laws of military
• 3:12
  engagement, doubletapping people in the
• 3:13
  Caribbean who were just shipwrecked and
• 3:16
  floating in the water like among a
• 3:17
  million other things we could bring up.
• 3:19
  It was to rain that in, dude. It was to
• 3:22
  rain that in and they couldn't even be
• 3:25
  bothered to show up. One of them, I
• 3:27
  think, did have some kind of a traffic
• 3:29
  incident. I'm not sure what the latest
• 3:30
  reporting on that is as I make this
• 3:32
  video. Rep. I mean, dude, has there ever
• 3:36
  been a time where it is clearer that the
• 3:39
  Democrats need new leadership? Hakeem
• 3:41
  Jeff didn't even whip this vote.
• 3:45
  He didn't even bother to whip this vote
• 3:48
  or at a bare minimum whip it very
• 3:49
  effectively.
• 3:51
  He didn't even bother. He didn't even
• 3:53
  bother. He didn't even bother on the
• 3:55
  impeachment of of Pete Hexf. Understand
• 3:58
  something. You might say, "Well, like,
• 4:00
  well, what would have happened if they
• 4:01
  had sent it to the Senate?" you know,
• 4:03
  uh, like what what could have happened
• 4:04
  there? Well, understand something,
• 4:06
  right? The House gets replenished, you
• 4:08
  know, basically every two years, right?
• 4:10
  It's just this constant turnover. But
• 4:12
  the Senate can take business and then
• 4:14
  hold it. So, they could have sent it to
• 4:16
  the Senate. The Senate could have held
• 4:17
  it and then remember the whole Senate
• 4:19
  doesn't refresh every every uh six
• 4:21
  years. It it it's like I think a third
• 4:24
  every two years basically. So, they just
• 4:26
  take up old business. The House can't
• 4:28
  really do that. It has to kind of start
• 4:30
  fresh over there. But the Senate can
• 4:31
  pick it up with things like this. So
• 4:33
  they could have just kept it up with the
• 4:34
  new class of people coming in, the Elsa
• 4:36
  and the Telericos and the Andrewses and
• 4:39
  everybody. They could have taken it up
• 4:40
  there. So like this idea like well they
• 4:42
  can just you know why why wouldn't why
• 4:44
  would you not wait till the next
• 4:45
  Congress comes in? You don't need to do
• 4:47
  it now. Massie introduced this like do
• 4:50
  it now. Show that you have resolve now.
• 4:53
  Show that you hear the message now.
• 4:56
  Hakee Jeff, you know, he didn't
• 4:58
  necessarily like I think there was a
• 5:00
  message he had earlier today, I should
• 5:02
  say, after this vote was conducted that,
• 5:04
  you know, oh, we're just getting started
• 5:05
  with anything, but like he didn't
• 5:06
  actually commit to like resubmitting
• 5:08
  articles of impeachment. Are they even
• 5:09
  going to do it? Are they and it's just
• 5:12
  more the symbolism of all of this that
• 5:14
  like they couldn't even get the process
• 5:17
  started the way that it needed to be
• 5:19
  started to to like symbolically gesture
• 5:21
  back to the American people, we see you,
• 5:24
  we mean business. They couldn't even be
• 5:26
  bothered to do that. Guys, I cannot tell
• 5:28
  you. I go on these panels sometimes and
• 5:30
  I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I
• 5:32
  watched what happened when the people
• 5:34
  who launched the Iraq war had to pay for
• 5:36
  nothing. They went back into think
• 5:39
  tanks. They went back into academia.
• 5:41
  They went back in certain cases to Wall
• 5:43
  Street. They went back to lobbying. They
• 5:45
  went back to like the the the the DC
• 5:49
  Wall Street academic think tank swamp.
• 5:52
  There was no call. David from is still
• 5:55
  at the Atlantic.
• 5:57
  This country refuses to punish people
• 6:00
  who are powerful. I don't understand why
• 6:02
  we couldn't punish Donald Trump for
• 6:04
  January 6. We can't punish Pete Hexf for
• 6:07
  murdering over 120 school girls in Iran
• 6:09
  and killing people who are innocent
• 6:11
  fishermen in the Caribbean. Like we
• 6:13
  what? Like what can you do? What can you
• 6:16
  do? What are you good for?
• 6:20
  This is like you can't have a
• 6:22
  functioning government in society if you
• 6:24
  are not willing to face down evil
• 6:28
  and show as a political party that you
• 6:31
  understand the urgency of the moment.
• 6:32
  Dude, there is absolutely I don't care
• 6:35
  if it's a foregone conclusion. We will
• 6:37
  throw sand in the gears of everything
• 6:40
  related to Hakeem Jeff. We will throw
• 6:42
  sand in the gear of everything related
• 6:45
  to Chuck Schumer. These are absolutely I
• 6:48
  don't political ball knowowers will tell
• 6:49
  you, "Hey guys, the game's already set.
• 6:51
  You're wasting your time complaining.
• 6:53
  [ __ ] you. No, I'm not. I'm just getting
• 6:55
  started. I'm just getting started." It
• 6:59
  is absolutely a moral imperative. These
• 7:02
  losers who have no appetite for battle,
• 7:06
  no, you can't have an This is what they
• 7:08
  don't understand. You can't actually
• 7:10
  like Why did the Dems always lay down?
• 7:12
  Because they believe in nothing. In
• 7:14
  fact, many of them sat some of this out
• 7:16
  because they probably like the Iran war.
• 7:19
  They like the Iran war. Chuck Schumer,
• 7:21
  Hakee Jeff refu they condemned on
• 7:23
  process terms. Well, they didn't go to
• 7:25
  Congress first, but if they had, we
• 7:27
  would have given them all the money
• 7:28
  anyway. They they they like this war.
• 7:31
  They like this war. They like this [ __ ]
• 7:34
  They are fascist collaborators. They are
• 7:36
  absolutely not the right people for this
• 7:39
  moment. Yes. Could they could they
• 7:41
  reintroduce these in the next Congress?
• 7:43
  Sure. Are they going to
• 7:46
  Are they going to?
• 7:49
  Dude, if you don't believe in anything,
• 7:52
  if nothing actually matters to you in
• 7:55
  principle, if everything is about
• 7:56
  triangulation and incrementalism and
• 7:59
  getting just enough to get by, you of
• 8:01
  course you will have no appetite nor
• 8:03
  commitment to battle.
• 8:06
  Why? Because there's nothing grounding
• 8:08
  your actions. There's nothing driving
• 8:10
  your purpose other than to just kind of
• 8:13
  hold serve. That is why they have no
• 8:16
  appetite for battle. They like the
• 8:18
  status quo. They want to keep it.
• 8:23
  How can you go to the mat for something
• 8:25
  if you believe in nothing?
• 8:29
  It is unacceptable.
• 8:32
  Call your representative now as you see
• 8:36
  me speak these words. Call your
• 8:38
  congressman. Call your senator. Tell
• 8:40
  them absolutely. It is unacceptable in
• 8:44
  every possible way. I mean, if they're
• 8:46
  Republican, don't waste your time. But
• 8:47
  if you have a Dem senator or any Dem
• 8:49
  senator, call any Dem senator. Call any
• 8:50
  Dem representative. I don't give a [ __ ]
• 8:52
  which one you call. Call them and tell
• 8:54
  them. Absolutely call them and tell them
• 8:56
  it is unacceptable
• 8:59
  unacceptable to allow Hakeem Jeff back.
• 9:01
  It is unacceptable
• 9:04
  to allow Chuck Schumer to lead the
• 9:06
  Senate. They they will guys if we [ __ ]
• 9:09
  this up understand what's going to
• 9:11
  happen. If we [ __ ] this up people will
• 9:15
  absolutely not merely lose hope in us.
• 9:17
  They will lose hope in the idea of
• 9:20
  progress in many ways altogether. You
• 9:22
  will demoralize
• 9:23
  an entire generation of young voters.
• 9:26
  You'll demoralize and you will teach
• 9:28
  Latinos not to trust you. You will
• 9:30
  demoralize and they've been rock for a
• 9:32
  long time. But how many will sit out
• 9:34
  future elections in the African-American
• 9:35
  population? You will demoralize them in
• 9:39
  in the you will break them. You will
• 9:41
  break them. And if you break them,
• 9:42
  you're maybe not going to get them back.
• 9:44
  Not in the same kind of way. Not the way
• 9:46
  it mattered before. You can alter
• 9:48
  everything about our future in this
• 9:50
  country and for the Democratic party and
• 9:52
  the nation itself if you don't get your
• 9:54
  [ __ ] [ __ ] together.
• 9:57
  You [ __ ] losers.
• 10:01
  You're You have no [ __ ] commitment to
• 10:03
  battle. Nothing matters to you.
• 10:08
  I want in the [laughter]
• 10:10
  I sound like the guy from Glen Gary,
• 10:12
  Glenn Ross. I want winners. Coffee is
• 10:14
  for closers, [ __ ] Call now. Call the
• 10:18
  Senate. Call the House. Call whoever you
• 10:21
  need to call it. No. Under no
• 10:23
  circumstances does the Keem Jeff move
• 10:25
  forward under no circumstance. Does
• 10:28
  Chuck Schumer move forward? What a
• 10:30
  disastrous way to to to receive the
• 10:33
  message from the American people. Holy
• 10:35
