00:00Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share the latest photo of the founding...
00:16Yes?
00:17Does the gentleman from Ohio seek recognition?
00:21I ask unanimous consent to address the House for one minute to revise and extend my remarks.
00:26Without objection, the gentleman was recognized for one minute.
00:28Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:30I rise to share the latest photo of the founding of another billionaire private club here in
00:38Washington D.C. in Georgetown.
00:41For the super rich, spearheaded by Donald Trump Jr., J.D. Vance, and their billionaire buddies.
00:48You can join for the low price of half a million dollars.
00:53They offer the richest of the rich a red carpet to buy influence and their way to power.
01:00Meanwhile, working Americans are being crushed with high interest rates, 401Ks losing value,
01:06unaffordable housing, and rising grocery prices.
01:09At a time when reckless U.S.-Canada Trump-era tariffs are devastating our farmers and manufacturers,
01:15when layoffs are funding cuts and gutting communities, and the Trump elite are toasting champagne and eating caviar, really?
01:23This executive branch club isn't just an insult to the working class.
01:27It's a vivid, grotesque portrait of ruling billionaires focused on totally enriching themselves and neglecting our nation.
01:35Imagine what a half a million dollars would buy in your community for children, for seniors.
01:41This excess reminds me of the disgusting behavior of the Emperor Nero, who rightly has been relegated to the dustbin of history.
