House GOP’s Marjorie Taylor Greene Problem; Herschel Walker’s Vampire Story: A Closer Look

-Republicans have narrowly recaptured the House of Representatives, but will have to navigate the next two years with a razor-thin majority, likely causing chaos and empowering fringe extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene. And all of this will happen while Donald Trump further tears the party apart with his presidential candidacy. To learn more about this, it's time for "A Closer Look." ♪♪ Today was a great day on Capitol Hill. Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who made hi

story

as the first woman to lead the chamber, announced that she would not seek re-election to a leadership position in the next Congress. In her speech, she pointed out how many presidents she has worked with from different parties, although she left out one notable name. -It has been my privilege to help forge extraordinary progress for the American people.

I have enjoyed working with three presidents. Achieve historic investments in clean energy under President George Bush. Transformative health care reform under President Barack Obama. And forge... And forge the future, from infrastructure to healthcare to climate action, with President Joe Biden. -Say what you want about Nancy Pelosi, but she knows what she's doing. The worst thing they can do to Donald Trump is not say anything about Donald Trump. The man desperately craves attention. I'd rather you call him a degenerate, disgusting criminal idiot than not say his name. And I'm sure he saw that speech, since he's always watching TV.

Right now he's probably at home, wandering around and saying, "Wait a second." Doesn't Nancy like me? What did I ever do to her? Correct. Oh yeah. Oh, and there was that. Oh, ho, ho, that was bad. Compare Pelosi's farewell speech to Trump's announcement that he will run for president for the third time, which is full of lies, confusing phrases, and strange tangents. Trump's speech has also sparked another round of infighting and recriminations among Republicans, as Trump has repeatedly sunk the party. He did it in 2018, 2020, and then again in last week's midterm elections, and yet Trump obviously doesn't care.

On Tuesday he announced his intention to take back the halls of power, although, as usual, he stumbled over the word and then, because he was embarrassed to correct himself, he repeated it a bunch of times to try to save face. which only made it worse. -This is our country, our government and the drivers of power - or ours - are our drivers. They are not your carters. These are our drivers. And we will come to recover those drivers. -I can tell you something? Try the hallways. Halls of power. So clearly what happened here is that he stumbled over the word hallways once and then said it eight more times to try to recover, which is not how it's done.

It's like you call someone the wrong name during sex and then keep saying it, hoping he'll decide to legally shackle you. Lisa... I mean, you're not a Lisa, but you

look

like a Lisa. And Lisa, what name: Mona Lisa, Lisa Simpson? You even have to admit that it's better than your real name, not Lisa's. He says the word so many times, like he's in an episode of "Seinfeld" where Kramer tells Jerry about his plan to turn his entire apartment into a series of hallways. One word, Jerry: hallways. You have hallways here, hallways there, they're all hallways.

They raped him, Jerry! They took away my hallway! Well, you'll never guess who took a trip down my hallway. This is how you enter a hallway. Keep a... Keep an eye out for my new solo show... When will you be open? Is closed? It hasn't even opened yet. Can they do that? Why didn't they call me? Oh, did you think I'd do the vocals over the phone? Still, despite Trump's drag on the GOP in the midterm elections, House Republicans appear to have crossed the finish line and clinched a slim majority in the House, which could make the leader of the Republican Party, Kevin McCarthy, in the next president.

Now, McCarthy will have a very small margin of error to work with, given that Republicans will only have a few more votes than Democrats. That probably means he won't be able to do much, although McCarthy dismissed the idea that his size matters for the most part. -What was our mission? Win the majority, stop Biden's agenda and fire Nancy Pelosi. All that is accomplished. Remember that in the House they do not distribute decks for small, medium and large children. They just give you the deck. -Maybe they don't give out decks in small, medium and large sizes, but they should.

If you fail so badly in an election, but still achieve a narrow victory, you should be forced to call the House into session with a small gavel the size of a pen. Also, don't give Donald Trump any ideas. Because, you know, as soon as he heard McCarthy say that, Trump asked his team to get him a giant gavel. He didn't even need to run because I have the biggest deck and the guy who shows up with the biggest deck is in charge. And you know what they say about guys with sledgehammers, right? Guys with big mallets.

We all know what they say, right? They also have great drivers. Plus, if Trump had a big gavel, he could play Whac-A-Mole with his lawyers. Boss, I have an idea! Oh! You could have said no, boss. Back to the hole. Still, McCarthy is right about one thing. He may not be able to pass much of any legislation with such a slim majority, but House Republicans will gain subpoena power, along with the ability to run committees and conduct investigations. In fact, they have already announced their intentions to conduct pointless investigations into things like Hunter Biden's laptop. Cartoon character lunatics like Marjorie Taylor Greene could even have the power to oversee the Biden administration, which Greene has repeatedly said she would aggressively do. -I am

look

ing forward to the Republicans regaining control of the House.

And I really want to be part of the committees. Here's what you can expect from Republicans. We will investigate and hold people accountable. There are many traitors and criminals who must be held accountable. -First of all, I wouldn't trust anyone to do research whose fashion style is Unabomber chic. Plus... ...that's why McCarthy's majority will probably be quite a spectacle. She has the answer for crazy people, like Greene, who, in turn, answers to Trump to exercise power because he has a very slim majority. At any moment, a few rebellious Republicans could threaten to bring him down by withholding his votes if they don't get what they want.

You can't function in a job like that. Like, for example, here at this job, I don't have to keep everyone who works for me happy all the time, which is great, because if I did, I'd be constantly doling out favors to everyone, like letting Wally interrupt the show. to cover up your reference card business. -Seth, the holidays are right around the corner, so if you're looking for a unique gift for that special loved one in your life, check out cuecardsby-- -Stop it! See? I don't need to let him finish! Anyway, if you're looking for a unique gift for that special loved one in your life, check out cuecardsbywally.com.

Wait a second, damn it! Did you write that on the cards without my permission? -I did? Oops! You are my Marjorie Taylor Greene. Can we edit out the long giggle of... We call that sound effect Wally's Delight? Anyway, these are the kind of fools Trump surrounds himself with, and now they will have a very tenuous hold on power in the House, which is bad for everyone, including the Republicans themselves, because the slate of carefully denier candidates selected by Trump performed horribly. in last week's midterm elections, especially compared to other more traditional Republicans. Voters resoundingly rejected Trumpism and the MAGA movement and made clear that they want a competent government that preserves American democracy.

That's why Republicans are also nervous about Georgia, where Trump-backed Senate candidate Herschel Walker finished second and will head to a runoff against incumbent Raphael Warnock. And Walker doesn't help himself, as evidenced by this incredibly strange and completely real clip from a rally yesterday, where Walker told an inscrutable

story

about how he saw a movie about

vampire

s and werewolves on TV. See if you can keep up, good luck to you, some of this. -Have you ever watched a stupid movie late at night, expecting it to get better, but it doesn't, but you keep watching it anyway? Because the other night, the other night, I was watching this movie.

I was watching a movie called "Fright Night", Freak Night... kind of a night. But these were

vampire

s. I don't know if you know, vampires are great people, aren't they? But I'll tell you something I discovered. A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that, so I don't want to be a vampire anymore. I want to be a werewolf. But anyway, as I watch this movie... And let me tell you how stupid it is because it's 1:00 in the morning. So, I'm watching my TV, these kids watching their TV, a vampire killer on their TV.

So, you know it's kind of stupid, but I'm still watching it. While watching this show, the funny thing was that these kids had a vampire in the attic of their

house

. Then they were watching television. Now I watch my television, they watch their television, they see the vampire killer on their television. So, they won this contest to bring in this actor. Now, all of you must stay with me. -Oh, it's too... ...too late to stay with you, friend. That was by far the worst Rotten Tomatoes synopsis I've ever heard. You sound like an eight-year-old who ate too much sugar on Halloween and stayed up watching TV well past his bedtime. "Did you know that werewolves can kill vampires?

I didn't know, so I don't want to be a vampire anymore, I want to be a werewolf. And also, did you know that the human head weighs eight pounds?" "?" The only thing I found in that story was the phrase (and let me make sure I read it word for word, so I can be fair and accurate to the potential future United States Senator from Georgia): "I don't know if you know, vampires They're great people, aren't they?" Can you imagine someone asking that question during a hearing on the Senate floor? The president acknowledges the Georgia senator and at the same time reminds him that this hearing is about agriculture and that our witness He's an expert on cereal, not vampires. "Okay, great.

Mr. Secretary, before addressing the issue of agricultural subsidies, I have a question for you: vampires are cool people, right? I dedicate the rest of my time. Also, let me tell you, I knew it, okay? Debate about that. Some of my best friends are vampires. Why do you think I look older every year, but Colin Jost still looks like that? He not only just bought an old Staten Island ferry. on the maiden voyage. Now, he's heard it all. If you were worried that the story would end abruptly there and Walker would move on to something that made more sense, you know, to Georgia voters... ...rest assured, he continued and the rest was just as strange.

In fact, the story about vampires, or whatever, was so long that the only way to show it to you is through a time lapse. -Bring this actor who is a vampire slayer from that television to get rid of this real life vampire in his attic. He has to have a stake and something to kill him in the heart. And he got a garlic necklace because that job. I don't know what he does, but it works. I have to have a cross because it burns. I know it works. They went upstairs and this vampire looked great in this black suit.

He floated down from the ceiling, looking nice and cool. And I was thinking, "Wow! They better get out of that

house

." They jumped after the hero. The guy jumped in front of him with holy water and threw it on the vampire's forehead. He covered his eyes. He took up the cross. He put it on the vampire's forehead and the vampire didn't even do anything. He said, "That doesn't work." And so it is in our life. It doesn't even work. -I think Herschel Walker's plan to combat inflation could be that no one in Georgia has to pay more for streaming services because he will only tell you the plots of movies and TV shows.

Now, there are no real squids in “The Squid Game,” but that doesn't mean these people don't have serious

problem

s. Trump and his movement were clearly a big drag on the Republican Party. in last week's midterm elections, giving Republicans an incredibly narrow majority in the House that will likely be led, in large part, by fringe extremists looking to cause chaos, and who knows? In a few weeks, they might even be joined by Herschel Walker, who, if he makes it to the Senate, will be walking around looking for werewolves and vampires hiding in every... -Carters. -This has been "A
