the house was paralyzed for over one hour as republicans debated how to sanction jim mcgovern.d him of violating a house room barring representatives from engaging in personality attacks. the same rule republicans refused to apply just last week to marjorie taylor greene which he personally assaulted congresswoman jasmine crockett. jim mcgovern was barred from speaking on the floor and his comments , the factual references to the donald trump indictments were stricken from the record. this is the first time in his 27 year career in congress that has ever happened, this extreme step of erasing mcgovern's factual comments says so much about the gop today. there has been plenty of analysis devoted to the two women in congress who greenereacted to him and reflect how norms have changed thanks to donald trump and his maga party. they have made an art form out of flaunting the quorum, gag orders, and the rule of law, transforming the very serious task of legislating into a reality show that thrives on playground insults and wild conspiracy theories. with more on this, joined by a pro

on the floor of the house today, jim mcgovern gave the rules of the house a new test, and unprecedentedping their real jobs to take day trips up to new york to try to undermine donald trump's criminal trial. no time to work with democrats but plenty of time to put on weird matching uniforms and stand behind former president trump with their bright red ties like pathetic props. maybe they want to distract from the fact that their candidate for president has been indicted more times than he's been elected. maybe they don't want to talk about the fact that the leader of their party is on trial for covering up hush money payments to an adult film star for political game not to mention three of the criminal felony prosecutions he is facing. i understand why my republican friends want to distract from donald trump. they don't want to talk about how trump had the worst jobs record since the great depression, how he sold out our allies and empowered our adversaries, so they bring silly things like this to the floor to deflect and distract from the fact that they have no real vision, just divisi

then house ranking rules member jim mcgovern chastised after comments he made on the businese white house. later first lady jill biden giving a preview of the upcoming state dinner in honor of the kenyandent announcer: c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more, including comcast. >> you think this is just a community center? it is way more than that. >> contest is partnering withnts from low income families can get that was they need to be ready for anything. anr: comcast supports c-span as a public service along with these other television providers, giving you a froseat. announcer: secretary of state antony blinken testified on u.s. diplomacy, global challenges, and the president's5 dget request. the president's recent decision to withhold military weapons■@ israel, chinese nationals entering the southern borderukr. >> your mic is on private. the . is it working now?■z >> now we are good. the purposeg is to discuss the state department's fy25 budget request i fts diplomats around of the globe. i now recognize myself for the openin

this, but the reality is this is antidemocratic behavior, and it's also abridging the right of jim mcgovern's. >> charlie, i want to play a little bit more of what mcgovern said before it was struck from the record. take a listen. >> mr. speaker, donald trump might want to be a king, but he's not a king. he is not a presumptive king. he's not even the president. he's a presumptive nominee. frankly, at some point it's time for this body to recognize that there is no precedent for this situation. we have a presumptive nominee for president facing 88 felony counts, and we're being prevented from even acknowledging it. these are not alternative facts. these are real facts. >> the part of that that jumped out to me, charlie, was the fact that there's no precedent for this situation, right? and so even the rules that they're using to strike this from the official record, it's supposed to be about peers in congress. he doesn't qualify as a peer . he's not a member of the body. also, mcgovern's called to say, listen, we have not lived through this before, so let's all start acting as though this is n

speaking on the house floor yesterday, democratic rep jim mcgovern of massachusetts had his words strickensional record. here's what he said. >> republicans are skipping their real jobs to take day trips up to new york to try to undermine donald trump's criminal trial. no time to work with democrats but plenty of time to put on weird matching cult uniforms and stand behind president trump with their bright red ties and like pathetic props. maybe they want to distract from the fact that their candidate for president has been indicted more times than he's been elected. maybe they don't want to talk about the fact that the leader of their party is on trial for covering up hush money payments to a porn star for political gain, not to mention three other criminal felony prosecutions he's facing. >> the chair would like to remind members to refrain from engaging in personalities towards presumed nominees for the office of the president. >> i know you're trying to do your job and follow precedent, but, frankly, at some point it's time for this body to recognize that there is no precedent for this

so democratic congressman jim mcgovern was talking to lauren fox earlier. he told her he would vote to save johnson, but then he said he's quote, not a cheap date. and democrats need something in return so to you, congressman kano, what is that something i'll leave the details for the leadership. >> i'm gonna be great if we get equal consideration on some of our bills, especially if they're bipartisan bills and have over two-thirds of the house i think it would be good to have some equal consideration on committees and i would leave to the details of a mcgovern and leader a leader, jeffries. but what i will say is that there are a lot of people are going to vote to table the motion. >> so i want to ask you about president biden because you serve on the national advisory board for his campaign. and there's this new poll from abc's& ipsos. there was so much interesting detail on this, but it shows obviously a tight race between biden and foreign president trump. no clear leader, but it also shows the supporters of robert f. kennedy jr. tend to be republican a

those are jim mcgovern's remarks. while house republicans silenced him today, they will never sims the truth that he speaks. we must end hunger now. we must answer the call. when i was hungry, you gave me to eat. when i was thirsty, you gave me to drink. thank you, representative hayes for your advocacy in bringing us together to heed this call. mrs. hayes: thank you. i now recognize the gentleman from new york, representative goldman, for two minutes. mr. goldman: thank you to my colleague from connecticut. i rise today alongside so many of my colleagues to make one thing very clear. republicans proposed funding cuts to snap are unconscionable and will send millions into poverty and food insecurity. snap is an essential lifeline that working families across america rely on to put food on the table. in new york city alone, where i come from, more than 1.7 million people rely on snap benefits to help them feed their families. nationwide, there are more than 41 million snap recipients. according to the center for budget

>> congressman jim mcgovern is a tremendous leader in the united states congress. he was speaking the truth. extreme maga republicans clearly cannot handle the truth. end of the day, they don't work for the american people. they work for the insurrectionists in chief. who basically gives them orders, tells them when to jump, how high, when to show up. what red tie to wear. what uniform to perform under. and this is what we are unfortunately dealing with in this do-nothing extreme republican congress and this was just one of the latest manifestations of it. >> leader jefferies, wondering if you could speak to the urgency of this situation involving supreme court justice alito and thomas, and the reason i raise that, right now there is a stay of the d.c. insurrection case. that is not going to trial, because this supreme court has ineffectuated that stay. for all we know sitting here the reason that that is continuing, the reason we do not have a trial date and we do not have accountability can be because justices alito and thomas are holding it, writing a descent. n

without objection, announcer: the house today disciplined jim mcgovern for breaking house rules for his remark's about donald trump saying quote, in this republican-controlled house it is ok to talk about the trial but you. have to. call it a sham requested the words be taken down. more than an hour later the made personally offensive remarks about donald trump and his words were officially stricken from the record. congressman mcgovern was then barred from speaking on the house floor for the rest of the day. later, members approved a bill seeking clarity on regulating cryptocurrency and providing protections to consumers. tomorrow the houscheduled to work on a bill to repeal law and take up's legislation banning the federal reserve from issuing currency without congressional approval. watch li■1 coverage of the house when members return here on c-span. announcer: earlier today secretary of state antony blinken addressed the russian invasion of ukraine, the israel hamas war, and other foreign policy challenges while he justified on the president's 2025 budget request or his department.

noted massachusetts democrat jim plined earlier today for breaking house rules when talking about former president legal issues. after a ruling by the representative mcgovernosted a message which reads in part, republicans just banned me from speaking on the house floor for the rest of the day because i listed trump's trials. i did not say he was guilt. i stated the fact they exist. apparently republicans are allowed to say that trump's trial is ajudge is corrupt and the jury is rigged, me to evening knowledge that the trials exist. here's a comments in the ruling by the chair, alabama republican jerry carl. lewoman from indiana reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is mr. mcgovern: i thank the gentlelady for yielding me the customary 30lf such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, there is not much to say. if you werend on the other side you think these bills are going world the second the ink not. this is wasted time. more of the srepublicans that is completely out of touch with what about. h.r. 192 is another g.o.p. politics. they spend more about p washington, d.c., than th the party that claims to care small government wants the federal government
