And people like Jordan weren't even listening. If they have turned themselves off from hearing the truth and facts they should have no place in Congress
This is so well said by Mr. Swallwell, however these Republicans aren’t even listening because they know they don’t have an empathetic bone in their body, and nothing will change their minds
I live in the state and he's a disgrace but he also caters to a right wing Evangelical Christian Base which has become nothing more than a political machine to take over the country.
But the problem is this, did anyone notice that the republicans weren’t even listening? I did. The only thing that will make these people listen is when they start getting voted out, congress is old. Their time is coming to an end. It’s time to vote for people that will listen to the voters.
It's not a matter of age; 80 year olds can be very compassionate. The young can be heartless. The problem with the Congress is that the crooked ones get enough money to keep campaigning and become wealthy. As long as they back the bills lobbyists draft.
I had to pause and take a moment to collect myself after Swalwell quoted the mother's kid about a picture. Damn near burst into tears right there. I was in junior high school when Columbine happened, and I remember a classmate stating that if she's already dead that others have permission to use her body as a shield. These sort of things should NEVER come out of a child's mouth, much less cross their minds. What a waking nightmare.
They appeal to the heart strings when their failure to protect our schools was so apparent. They are evil hypocrites. All we need to do is secure our school houses the way we do our court houses. When only the criminals and the government have guns, chaos and mayhem will be far worse.
VOTE 🗳! Vote for change, vote for common sense, vote for decency! We cannot let them get control! We cannot go back! Let’s ditch Mitch and minions for all they stand for/on! Let’s vote 🗳 those f@ckers out!
@@Trextem EXACTLY!!! Also there was at least 10 good guys (cops)with guns waiting in the hallway outside the classroom while kids were being slaughtered. They were out gunned by the shooter. And while we are at it where were all of those "good guys with guns" gun owners in Texas why didn't they come to the defense of those helpless, innocent children. Instead of using those guns to blow up cans and bottles in their backyard why not save children from a depraved psychopath 🙄
Such an excellent speech...delivered with true passion and empathy. Eric makes so much sense. The Republicans look even worse than previously and I didn't think that was possible.
While Swalwell was talking directly to Jordan about putting these children into the ground, one in a Superman casket, Jordan couldn't even be respectful of these children enough to not stop talking to his female aide showing him something on a cellphone. So, I don't expect him to care about stopping the next school shooting. I guess the GOP won't care until shooters show up in the private schools of their children and their big donors.
But again - sadly the only people seeing that are people on the left who actually pay attention. The rest are tuned in to Fox who did not sho0w that and if they did, only showed something they could make fun of.
The only thing he was nailing was Christine Fang a Chinese spy. How this fool still a member of Congress after sleeping with the enemy is beyond comprehension.
More like Eric won't make a difference. The power is in the vote and this won't change. Republicans will still be voted into office. So, they will continue to create laws that allow guns.
Of course Jordan ignores Swalwell as one of the most articulate, heartfelt, and sensible speeches is being made in which Jordan is being directly addressed. Maybe if he and other Republicans paid attention and curbed their unwarranted attitudes, we could accomplish some really incredible things in this country.
What an amazing and powerfully accurate speech pointing out the failures by Congress to allow these mass shootings to continue. This should be run on ads everywhere. (Even the calling out Jordan segment) It tore my heart out to hear the girl ask her mother which picture would she use?? I have a friend who was shopping for a Kevlar lining for her daughter's backpack after Ulvade. The Congress members voting to NOT protect our children and citizens going about their daily lives should be charged with Crimes Against Humanity.
So I guess we don't need laws the prevent us from killing politicians either. So it's open season on Republicans then, right? Oh, wait, no, they like those kind of laws. Guns are dangerous but they don't care if we are in danger, they only care about keeping themselves safe. Becasue Republcans only care about getting votes, they don't give a shit about the people who voted.
It’s fact the democrat sponsored laws don’t work the assault weapons ban in California has been in place for 30 years and it hasn’t stopped mass killings in California
Yes. Yes yes. I saw an interview of a Marine veteran who is a father to school aged kids, trained with every assault weapon there is, turn over his ar15 and a handgun to the local police, because he was so saddened by this tragedy 😒 listening to him, touched my heart.
Very well said and so true .. He should be cloned .. all this twist and turns , wasting time here and there on common sense issues is what self destroying the country. The common sense should be get rid of these fascists who we know who they are but IMMEDIATELY .. It has nothing do to with constitutional rights.. it's totally hurtful and unprofessional and unproductive. Look how far it has taken the country.. to the edge of a second civil war. If it was up to me , I would lock them all up for treason and instigating a second civil war with their Nazi leader Trumpy Dumpy. That will be the only logical common sense to save the country.. otherwise , no ifs or buts , there will be a second civil war and eventually the fall of the country itself.. History never has lie.
I dunno about that... Corpo dem who helped screw over bernie sanders. Sounds like HE is also against medicare for all. Don't get me wrong though, he's clearly far better and far more reasonable than any pos on the right lololol. And I'd back him over those a holes any day, for sure. But still, he's clearly not the best fighter for the left.
We must vote these heartless, greedy, and ruthlessly hateful ppl out of office that choose to ignore those issues that are decimating children's bodies hiding under school desks hiding from killers with guns that are meant for war.
Fabulous!! Keep saying it just like that, Democrats, over and over and over again! I love how Jordan is acting soooo busy that he can't hear Swalwell and can't be bothered!
Jordan is a hypocrite. Until he comes clean about when and what he knew about the sexual abuse of his wrestling teams he has absolutely no credibility. He's a pathetic liar.
I’m just across the water from his district, and I claim him too! To be honest, I love the crap out of all of our Bay Area politicians, especially our Congressmen and Congresswomen. From Speaker Pelosi to Jackie Speier to Barbara Lee to Swalwell to Anna Eshoo to Ro Khanna…we are pretty damn well represented in Congress 🇺🇸
Losing battle, almost half the population are hypnotized by an Australian run propoganda 'news' show, the irony that these right wingers can't see that they're favorite news channel is lying to them, yep, given up hope on the right, these people are addicted cultists, zero clues.
And more Republicans need to grow a conscience and vote to save the children because it is the right thing to do. The gun lobby may pay them less. Then they can take their children out for a burger on the NRA.
I’m a gun-owning Dem. I love your points! I’m completely fine with thorough background checks. Completely fine with CoolingOff periods. Completely fine with smaller magazines / clips.
That's just it. We aren't asking for zero guns... As the hoarders of it, that's impossible. All we ask is that we scale it back and not make it as accessible, as responsibility-free, nor as Rambo-like in their usage.

This should be the stump speech of every Democrat running this year. Every Democrat running should get in front of any camera they can in every town they can and say exactly this. The GOP has got to go Bravo Mr. Swalwell.
He destroys nothing, because they simply ignore him and those who believe like he does. Need evidence of that? Just look at evil Jim Jordan totally ignoring what he's saying.
This should be at the heart of every argument against the USA's insane gun culture. (Bewildered Aussie here). If your society has come down to a child asking which picture her mother would use after she is shot at school, what is the point of society? what is the point of your Union and politics? Which Amendment to your constitution provides the right to be a child and go peacefully about your business of learning? Do humans not band together in tribes, communities, collectives, counties, states, unions, countries to protect each other and provide support and shelter? When a society turns on itself, what is the point of the society?

Exactly...comes down to Republicans caring more about there party then being a decent human being...I wonder how they (republicans)would react if it were there 10yr kids who were victims of gun violence in school...crazy world depressing world we live in today
Even worse and much sadder is that their constituents don't seem to be able to make the connection between how they vote, and all of these shootings that occur because of too few governmental controls - let's face it, the misinterpreted Second Amendment in this age of rapid fire, bomb-projecting weaponry is a straight up suicide pact - too much easy access to firearms, and too many NRA-bought legislators who have sold their souls for those NRA blood money checks that will keep coming as long as they do absolutely nothing about gun control.
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288 Your assessment is not only cynical, it is wrong. If the Democrats can keep up this kind of criticism, publicly, on the record, and laden with facts regarding the republican hypocrisy and their having been BOUGHT to do the nothing that they are doing, that they always do, this might sway more and more voters to vote them out, which is the only way to effect change. And Swalwell actually does what he was sent to Washington to do: he is working on behalf of his constituents...those who voted for him. The republicans on the other hand are only working for themselves and their paymasters, in this case, the NRA.
@@shesaknitter Democrats on the other hand are only working for themselves and their paymasters. This is all a part of bring America down and controlling everyone. A New World Order.

That is another way to make a point!!
Mr. Swalwell said what everyone is thinking and asking but Republican members of Congress and Republican politicians continue to protect the NRA and gun manufacturers profits above the lives of children, teens, and adults. Common sense gun laws should have been implemented a long time ago.
What exactly is a common sense gun law? Do any of your common sense gun laws include holding criminals responsible for committing crimes with a gun? Or making it easier to commit a mentally ill person to a facility, even against their will. Why is it that all the common sense gun laws punish me, the law abiding citizen.
After each mass shooting the Republicans make a ton of money from increased gun sales. They have shown us with their actions that they don't want any of these shootings to stop. Why else would they do nothing as the bodies stack up year after year?
@@cg5648 Do they inconvenience the law abiding citizens? Law-abiding citizens in the world doing their part to protect children and other innocents? Yes. Some. So do Traffic Laws; both (if done right, protect people. Perfectly? Of course not. Better than murderous chaos? Yes! See YT videos of lawless accidents, mayhem and intersections in Russia and India. A long ago ancestor, Maj. Samuel Root, Mass. Militia, Western Mass; Revolutionary War, was one of the people the 2nd Amendment was thinking of. Maj. Root, a prosperous farmer, was 'inconvenienced' by rallying and marching to fight in the Battle of Bennington. Freedom isn't free. Nor is being a good Citizen.
I'm very VERY glad that Mr. Swalwell brought up those points so effectively and in public. I hope that his speech will be spread far and wide for as many people to hear as possible.
The most frustrating part of this process , is that the Republican Party that Swalwell is addressing don’t have the slightest since of shame or conscience to even know or care about what is being said about them. It won’t move them to respond and do the right thing, we have to vote them out !! Maybe the conversation should target their donors ? Money is the only language they seem to want to use
Their main donor, however, is the NRA, at least when it comes to the legislators' inaction on gun control. And that's the problem because the NRA knows only about profits. and if buying our legislators is how to increase and sustain profits, it matters not in the least to the NRA any more than it matters to the legislators, who dies as a result.
Obviously Jordan wasn’t paying attention to anything Eric Swalwell was saying, as good as his speech was it just fell on deaf ears because they don’t care, they showed up today to get a paycheck and that’s it!!
My sympathy for the conservative voter has run it's course because until they themselves are personally affected by issues like gun violence, racial injustices and so on, they will continue to vote against their own interests just to be spiteful and vindictive towards the Democrats. It is beyond disgusting that there are people out there like that who don't care about anyone else except themselves. People like that belong in the basket of deplorables.

The only part of the second amendment any Republican remembers is “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” They always seem to forget the “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” part that comes before it. I’ll point people to the WELL REGULATED portion.
They always say that well-regulated means the firearms are in proper working order or well-maintained when well-regulated actually refers to the militia. They fail to see the big picture.
and why are "arms' defined as only guns? why not tanks? bombs? rocket launchers? grenades and so on? ON PURPOSE interpreted misinterpreted for power and money....
I live in Sweden. One day our neighbor came to us and said, “Don’t be concerned when the police come to visit me. I’m a hunter and they are coming to insure that I’m storing my guns correctly.” He was totally relaxed about the whole thing. For him it was natural that they should do this.
All we need to do is secure our school houses the way we do our court houses. When only the criminals and the government have guns, chaos and mayhem will be far worse.
@@vernonfrance2974 no we don’t. We need to enact reasonable gun legislation and ban all assault weapons, just like other civilized countries do. Kids do not need to go to school in a prison.
We have our weapons in the military safely secured at the armory, even our personal weapons if we live in the barracks or on base housing has to be kept at the armory. But civilians can just keep their shit in wherever they want lol
The solutions aren’t actually that complicated. Republicans want to make it seem complex so that they can continue supporting their donors. Brilliant speech.
This whole "gun debate" is enfuriating to me and I live in the EU. As a mother I find the whole thing beyond words and my heart is breaking for good American people. 🙏
It is so ridiculous here, sometimes I want to take my family and leave. We shouldn't be thinking to ourselves this may be the last day I see my children alive before bringing them to school.
The far RIGHT conservatives in this country could care less about our mass shooting and the lives lost. They only care about getting money from gun lobbyists and votes from unstable people who believe that the 2nd Amendment which is over 240 years old and written during a time of muzzle loading arms. Our forefathers would never have allowed this Amendment with the type of arms we have today. The United States is the example of what NOT to do!

Jordan was pretending to be busy, to be distracted, and even when he wasn't conversing with an aide, he couldn't look Swalwell in the eye. Deep down, in the darkest and most putrescent depths of Jim Jordan's soul, there's a tiny sliver of conscience, and at moments like this, the shame and guilt must feel like an alien chest-burster about to tear open his ribcage. That's why he has to pretend to be preoccupied. Because he's a wretched excuse for a human being, and he knows it.
The difference between a Patriot and Nationalist is one actually cares about the nation and the people and one wants to control it at a cost of it's own identity.
Absolutely! Get aggressive and call them on every lie and BS talking point they spew! Highlight their double standards and hipocrisy all the time every time!
Republicans absolutely deserve to be put on blast by Representatives like Eric Swalwell because they need to continue being exposed to the world and their constituents for the lying no good trash that they are. To do nothing while innocent children are being put in the ground as a result of these mass shootings is unconscionable and inhumane. The voters who continue electing these heartless so called human beings are just as heartless and disgusting too. Every human life is valuable and precious regardless of their political beliefs or the states and districts they come from. This should be a wake up call for everyone and make people do some much needed soul searching in determining the direction they want this country to go in and who should be elected to help steer the ship , figuratively speaking.

I had to pause and take a moment to collect myself after Swalwell quoted the mother's kid about a picture. Damn near burst into tears right there. I was in junior high school when Columbine happened, and I remember a classmate stating that if she's already dead that others have permission to use her body as a shield. These sort of things should NEVER come out of a child's mouth, much less cross their minds. What a waking nightmare.
They appeal to the heart strings when their failure to protect our schools was so apparent. They are evil hypocrites.
All we need to do is secure our school houses the way we do our court houses. When only the criminals and the government have guns, chaos and mayhem will be far worse.
VOTE 🗳! Vote for change, vote for common sense, vote for decency! We cannot let them get control! We cannot go back! Let’s ditch Mitch and minions for all they stand for/on! Let’s vote 🗳 those f@ckers out!
Yeah.... that definitely broke my heart
I shed tears too! 😢😢😢😢
Same here!
I love how he pointed out every measure voted down by Republican.
@@Trextem EXACTLY!!! Also there was at least 10 good guys (cops)with guns waiting in the hallway outside the classroom while kids were being slaughtered. They were out gunned by the shooter. And while we are at it where were all of those "good guys with guns" gun owners in Texas why didn't they come to the defense of those helpless, innocent children. Instead of using those guns to blow up cans and bottles in their backyard why not save children from a depraved psychopath 🙄
@@Trextem The police would probably kill a black teacher with a gun...
Such an excellent speech...delivered with true passion and empathy. Eric makes so much sense. The Republicans look even worse than previously and I didn't think that was possible.
Too true.
While Swalwell was talking directly to Jordan about putting these children into the ground, one in a Superman casket, Jordan couldn't even be respectful of these children enough to not stop talking to his female aide showing him something on a cellphone. So, I don't expect him to care about stopping the next school shooting. I guess the GOP won't care until shooters show up in the private schools of their children and their big donors.
But again - sadly the only people seeing that are people on the left who actually pay attention. The rest are tuned in to Fox who did not sho0w that and if they did, only showed something they could make fun of.

"Restore sanity to America". That needs to be the slogan for the next presidential race.
Of course Jordan ignores Swalwell as one of the most articulate, heartfelt, and sensible speeches is being made in which Jordan is being directly addressed. Maybe if he and other Republicans paid attention and curbed their unwarranted attitudes, we could accomplish some really incredible things in this country.
Love the way he,personally,called out Jordan. Good to see the likes of Swalwell and Raskin trying to be a voice for level-headed,thinking people.
How could any decent person ever vote for Jim Jordan?????????????????????

He can speak all of the truth that he wants until he passes out but that's not going to stop the Fascist terrorist threat of the Republican party.

It tore my heart out to hear the girl ask her mother which picture would she use?? I have a friend who was shopping for a Kevlar lining for her daughter's backpack after Ulvade.

Great point about their "laws don't work" arguement. I guess we don't need their anti-abortion laws anymore.
So I guess we don't need laws the prevent us from killing politicians either. So it's open season on Republicans then, right? Oh, wait, no, they like those kind of laws. Guns are dangerous but they don't care if we are in danger, they only care about keeping themselves safe. Becasue Republcans only care about getting votes, they don't give a shit about the people who voted.
It’s fact the democrat sponsored laws don’t work the assault weapons ban in California has been in place for 30 years and it hasn’t stopped mass killings in California

It has nothing do to with constitutional rights.. it's totally hurtful and unprofessional and unproductive. Look how far it has taken the country.. to the edge of a second civil war. If it was up to me , I would lock them all up for treason and instigating a second civil war with their Nazi leader Trumpy Dumpy. That will be the only logical common sense to save the country.. otherwise , no ifs or buts , there will be a second civil war and eventually the fall of the country itself.. History never has lie.

This should be at the heart of every argument against the USA's insane gun culture. (Bewildered Aussie here). If your society has come down to a child asking which picture her mother would use after she is shot at school, what is the point of society? what is the point of your Union and politics? Which Amendment to your constitution provides the right to be a child and go peacefully about your business of learning?
Do humans not band together in tribes, communities, collectives, counties, states, unions, countries to protect each other and provide support and shelter?

Even worse and much sadder is that their constituents don't seem to be able to make the connection between how they vote, and all of these shootings that occur because of too few governmental controls - let's face it, the misinterpreted Second Amendment in this age of rapid fire, bomb-projecting weaponry is a straight up suicide pact - too much easy access to firearms, and too many NRA-bought legislators who have sold their souls for those NRA blood money checks that will keep coming as long as they do absolutely nothing about gun control.

@@pecquet-dubalaix8288 Your assessment is not only cynical, it is wrong.
If the Democrats can keep up this kind of criticism, publicly, on the record, and laden with facts regarding the republican hypocrisy and their having been BOUGHT to do the nothing that they are doing, that they always do, this might sway more and more voters to vote them out, which is the only way to effect change.

Mr. Swalwell said what everyone is thinking and asking but Republican members of Congress and Republican politicians continue to protect the NRA and gun manufacturers profits above the lives of children, teens, and adults. Common sense gun laws should have been implemented a long time ago.
What exactly is a common sense gun law? Do any of your common sense gun laws include holding criminals responsible for committing crimes with a gun? Or making it easier to commit a mentally ill person to a facility, even against their will. Why is it that all the common sense gun laws punish me, the law abiding citizen.
there's plenty of gun laws. backyard trading and selling of guns is the problem. no criminal cares about ur gun laws.
I agree. It should’ve immediately happened with Sandy Hook. ‘It’s the gun!”
After each mass shooting the Republicans make a ton of money from increased gun sales. They have shown us with their actions that they don't want any of these shootings to stop. Why else would they do nothing as the bodies stack up year after year?

Eric Swalwell, WOW! His words got them (the GoP) right between the eyes
I wanted to cry at the end of his speech! That was amazing! Everything he said was 100% true!
The most frustrating part of this process , is that the Republican Party that Swalwell is addressing don’t have the slightest since of shame or conscience to even know or care about what is being said about them. It won’t move them to respond and do the right thing, we have to vote them out !! Maybe the conversation should target their donors ? Money is the only language they seem to want to use
Problem is that most Dem politicians have the same or similar donors as the Republicans, so they're not going to go there.
Their main donor, however, is the NRA, at least when it comes to the legislators' inaction on gun control. And that's the problem because the NRA knows only about profits. and if buying our legislators is how to increase and sustain profits, it matters not in the least to the NRA any more than it matters to the legislators, who dies as a result.
Obviously Jordan wasn’t paying attention to anything Eric Swalwell was saying, as good as his speech was it just fell on deaf ears because they don’t care, they showed up today to get a paycheck and that’s it!!
My sympathy for the conservative voter has run it's course because until they themselves are personally affected by issues like gun violence, racial injustices and so on, they will continue to vote against their own interests just to be spiteful and vindictive towards the Democrats. It is beyond disgusting that there are people out there like that who don't care about anyone else except themselves. People like that belong in the basket of deplorables.

I find it pathetic that the people who needed to listen the most, like Jim Jordan, were intentionally ignoring him.
Jordan was pretending to be busy, to be distracted, and even when he wasn't conversing with an aide, he couldn't look Swalwell in the eye. Deep down, in the darkest and most putrescent depths of Jim Jordan's soul, there's a tiny sliver of conscience, and at moments like this, the shame and guilt must feel like an alien chest-burster about to tear open his ribcage. That's why he has to pretend to be preoccupied. Because he's a wretched excuse for a human being, and he knows it.

To do nothing while innocent children are being put in the ground as a result of these mass shootings is unconscionable and inhumane. The voters who continue electing these heartless so called human beings are just as heartless and disgusting too.
Every human life is valuable and precious regardless of their political beliefs or the states and districts they come from.
