Transcript of Blue Tsunami Explodes as Veto Proof Majority is Possible!

We've got some huge news right now: Democrats have secured their largest House majority this century. The largest, largest House majority in decades, in decades. The Blue Tsunami is growing one week after Election Day; it continues to get bigger. Now we have confirmation that Democrats will secure at least 258 seats in the United States House of Representatives, likely set to go over 260 seats when all is said and done.

I want to thank the gentleman from Virginia for yielding me the customary time, and I yield myself such time as it may consume.

The gentleman is recognized.

Mr. Speaker, the sun is coming up, and soon it will be a new day in America. And the American people are the ones who are bringing the light. They voted against the chaos, the corruption, and the cruelty, and they voted overwhelmingly in red states and blue states, in small towns and in big cities, from sea to shining sea, to reject this president and this failed administration. They voted to repudiate MAGA, to rebuke Stephen Miller and Elon Musk and Kristi Noem and Kash Patel and all the rest of the incompetent clowns empowered by Donald J.

Take a listen.

One minute.

I'm so proud to represent San Diego, the biggest military community in the country. It's my community, my neighbors and friends, who've been shipped off to fight Secretary Hegseth's reckless war in Iran. So I take it personally when our leaders are cavalier with our service members' lives. I take it personally when our leaders ask our service members to take illegal action in Iran and Venezuela and Yemen. And I take it personally when my constituents aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spend 10 months at sea, sometimes without enough food to eat, hot water to take a shower, and sufficient access to health care.

Your limit of time is expired.

It's personal, and it's for the service members that I represent.

Your limit of time is expired.

And then we spoke about the accountability part, and newly incoming Democrats like Congressman Manny Routonel from Colorado are making clear that we need accountability. Because if you have accountability, you actually get to more affordability. Take a listen.

First of all, give me some idea. What are you telling your constituents you want to start off with? How do you want to hit the ground running?

Well, I want to focus on lowering costs, on stopping corruption, and on passing meaningful guardrails on artificial intelligence to protect the American people. And when I'm talking about lowering costs, I'm talking about reversing the cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. When it comes to corruption, we need to stop members of Congress from trading and selling stocks in ways that enrich themselves. And on the artificial intelligence question, we need to make sure that these AI companies are held accountable when they potentially harm the American people. We need to make sure that there are whistleblower protections and a series of other ideas that we need to be pushing forward because it's now or never.

On the ballot in which you won, there was an awful lot of similar measures for about data centers that lost. Data centers took a licking on Election Day across the country, not just Colorado. Do you think there could be unanimity on dialing those back?

Well, I think what folks are looking for is to be able to have a say in these conversations. Right now, they are being shoved down community's throats. We need to have a community-first approach. We also need to make sure that ratepayers aren't footing the bill for these data centers and that our natural environment is protected. That's what I'll be pushing for when I get to Congress.

What part of your term should be spent on investigations? What would you like to see the House or the caucus do to investigate the administration?

Well, I think what we need to be focusing on is lowering costs and also accountability. And I think corruption has a real cost on the American people. And right now, the cost is being borne by working families who right now are paying more for their health care costs because Donald Trump decided to give billionaires the biggest tax breaks in American history. And so we need to make sure that we investigate the members of the Trump Cabinet that are enabling this corrupt regime. We also need to make sure that we use those subpoena powers and committees to bring those civil and criminal investigations wherever relevant, because in America, no one is above the law.

If you were here today, if you're voting on impeaching the Defense Secretary, so I'm wondering, when you get here in January, how much time do you want spent on things like that? Some time? No time? A lot of time?

Well, I think accountability is important. And I think when people send us into a forever war in Iran without any plans, putting American lives at risk, in violation of our Constitution, there needs to be accountability. Also, that accountability and those investigations will benefit the American people, not just by taking us out of this forever war in Iran, but also by lowering the gas and diesel prices. Back home, gas has gone up over 50 percent since the beginning of this war. Diesel has gone up over 70 percent since the beginning of the war.

Okay. But through it all, Republicans are right now, at least, focused in the lame-duck session to ram through as many Trump judges as possible. And yet these judges, with lifetime tenure potentially, cannot even say who won the 2024 election or the 2020 election, or any election for that matter. This is a long clip, but I want you to watch everything from Senator Richard Blumenthal in this exchange with judges or nominees to potentially be judges on the supre on various district courts across the country.

Who won the popular vote in the 2020 election?

Senator Joe Biden was certified the winner under our under our system.

Okay, so you know you're not answering my question, right?

Senator, in line with other nominees that have come before this committee, including Justice Jackson, the underlying subject.

My question to you is who won the popular vote? I know who was certified. My question to you is who won the popular vote? And reciting the standard evasive line, I think, really is an insult to your intelligence as well as to ours.

Senator, again, our system prescribes the winner of the election under.

Who won the Electoral College in the 2020 election?

Joe Biden was certified under the Electoral College.

Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election?

No. He was he was not certified the winner under our system.

Are you unable to say that that Joe Biden won the popular vote? Is that just something that will not emerge from your lips?

Senator, in line with other nominees that.

Well, I'm asking you as an individual because on the bench you will be making individual judgments. You don't have to side with other members of the panel. You're not going to be repeating puppet-like what other nominees, no matter who they are. But certainly, the rote repetition of this line about certification, I think, betrays a lack of independence. You understand that point, don't you?

Senator, an important role is following precedent. And so I'm just outlining the precedent.

But you're following the precedent of other nominees who have been schooled and prepared to refuse to answer this question.

Nominees of both parties, including Justice Jackson, have taken the.

Well, Justice Jackson was in an entirely different situation. And I think it also betrays a lack of adherence to fact as well as logic that you are repeating this distortion that has been relied on by other nominees. Let me ask you, was the Capitol attacked on January 6th?

Again, Senator, the broader characterization of it is attack. The Supreme Court has used the word "breach," and I would adopt the again, I was in Mississippi, I think, on January 6th, but so I have no firsthand knowledge. But based on news reports and things that I've seen, I think the Supreme Court has characterized it as a breach, and I'm comfortable with that language.

Well, I'm asking you whether you agree with Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who said, quote, "A mob of rioters breached the Capitol on January 6th, 2021." Do you agree?

Senator, I've certainly seen news reports and videos of violence, and I condemn that, especially being someone who has represented law enforcement the entire of my career.

How about Judge Kelly? Timothy Kelly, U.S. District Court judge, in an order on July 10th, 2026, he said and by the way, he's a Trump appointee, quote, "As the Court has said many times, the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 was a perilous event. It was an attack on people, including police officers, many of whom were injured." Do you agree with Judge Kelly that the Capitol was attacked on January 6th, 2021?

Again, I think I've seen certain videos of clear violence, which I condemn.

Attack? Are you willing to use that word?

I've seen physical violence against police officers that I condemn.

So there was an attack. Are you able to say that? Will that word emerge from your lips?

Senator, again, broader characterizations of an attack are characterizations that began a political controversy that other nominees.

So you are willing to say, I don't want to be disrespectful, the Capitol was attacked on January 6th?

Again, Senator, I think I have witnessed certain certain events of violence against police officers, which I condemn.

And you understand the reason that I'm harping on this question is not to be pedantic or taunting. It's simply to know whether you're going to be independent, whether you will speak from your own conscience and conviction, from the learning that you've acquired in your trial practice, whether you will be a member of the bench who will do justice. You understand? That's why I'm asking this question.

I understand. I understand, Senator, and I'm committed to judicial independence, and I will take an oath to.

Well, I am.

Have equal.

Of a contrary view, that your failure to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and you refuse to use the word "attack" is the result of the lines that have been dictated to you by the handlers and the minders and the preparers in the White House.
