Well done Rep Luna!! call it what it is!!
Would like to know who this witness is, he does seem to be completely in the tank for big oil? Almost everything that comes out of Luna's mouth is a fabrication.
She didn't call her a name. She just said she was lying, which she was.
didn't even say that, only that what was said were 'lies.' didn't call anyone a liar
Exactly. It's pointing out an action she took, not calling her a name.
Actually Luna, in her mind, thought some very nasty things about Stansbury, something about a female dog or so, and that is probably what Stansbury was picking up telepathically of course and therefore was quite disturbed. I'm afraid I had similar thoughts about Stansbury. Nonetheless, that doesn't give Stansbury the right to slander the witness, which is criminal behavior. That is the egregious behavior here, not Luna.

@@yaweno9555 That's actually part of the problem; Congresscum are allowed to lie, slander, defame, &c. &c. Remember "Filthy" Harry Reid defaming Mittens Romney on the Senate floor, and then when called out about entering lies into the Record, replied, "It worked, didn't it?"
Politicians are like dirty underwear, in that they need to be changed frequently.
The amount of empty chairs during our government hearings is shameful.
Huh? They use the same rooms for different kids of meetings. Sometimes it's a BIG meeting requiring lots of people attend. Sometimes it's a SMALL meeting requiring fewer people attend. That's why you see some empty chairs.
Should we taxpayers pay the salaries for people so that they can attend meetings that they don't need to attend so that all the chairs are full? That sounds like a big waste. The government is pretty inefficient as it is, and you are wondering why more people aren't going to more meetings?
Or is the suggestion that we taxpayers build lots and lots of different size rooms, so every meeting always fits. Not too big, not too small. That also sounds pretty dumb. But thanks for your feedback. I found it, um, "shameful."
"number" of empty chairs, not amount

We live in a society where you can't say the liar is lying, but the one who is telling the truth is accused of being a liar and hateful, and so on.🎉
You sir, just witnessed an example of how the woke liberals want to rule everything: Use the correct word! Don't say liar. Instead, say she told a mistruth. My English teacher always told me to use smaller words in place of bigger words to make your point for brevity. That English rule went out the window here! Today's concern is not to use words to hurt people's feelings.....
yeah it's called politics .

Absolutely Correct Brian. The problem with doing this is what happens to TRUE history? Our TRUE history, my great great grandkids are going to learn, is nothing but lies. UNLESS we can somehow get rid of the bloated WOKE Federal Government, or Force all States to take charge of their GDP, Currency, Law, and the Freedoms the Constitution gives us, we lose truth and freedom. As the Federal Government is dismantling the Constitution, State Governments need to take back THEIR power over the Federal Government.
Just to be REAL here...An Untruth/Mistruth is STILL a Lie.
AMEN!
Now they're changing the meaning of "lie"? Color me shocked.
To be fair it is only a lie if the person speaking knows it’s a lie.
Name calling isn’t acceptable either. Acting like a grown up would be nice.
_But_ she's not directly calling the other member a liar.
It's amazing how reasonable actual experts sound when they report facts and keep their feeling to themselves.
Outstanding final few minutes of testimony 👏👏
Notice how the LIAR was only concerned with the “name calling” and not that she LIED, but asked normal questions.
If you don’t want to be called a Liar, don’t Lie.
BRAVO!
What a concept
Amen...
Well, in theory, you’re against being called a name that you’re not. And being called a liar, is a violation, but being a liar is not. So obviously she’d bring up the thing that is against the rules. And I’m a staunch trumper. But don’t be like leftists.
@@jamesbizs Do trump's nearly constant lies bother you at all?
She effin lied. It's what it is. Call it what it is.
We do definitely need to call out the liars loud and strong! It’s absolutely disgusting and shameful that our politicians lie so blatantly like this just like Drumpf did when he told over 30,000 lies during his presidency💯💯
Bless you Rep.Paulina 🇺🇸😎
I love the fact that true representatives give their time to hear the truth. The scumbags are always shutting down the truth and screaming reclaiming my time.... Rep. Anna Paula Luna deserves our respect and support for how she represents this country.
Great point.
No..actually she doesn't...
@@jrzygurl Yeah, Jersey Girl, she does. Look, a boy in a dress! Run to him, girl!
Do you realize Luna is literally the female George santos!? Just look up “Anna Paulina Luna Lies” and you might be surprised to know she made up her education, her FAMILY and background, etc etc. She also lies about politics and our country. Please check it out.
@Glenn Hubbard that makes no sense..but ok,I quess🤷♀️
I’ll say it for Luna. Stansbury is a liar, a colossal liar. I couldn’t care less that that fact is uncomfortable for her.
She could always fix being offended by starting to tell the truth & stop lying.
@@jasperkensington2644 Hang on to that dream.... Rats always scurry when exposed to the light... In this case the light is truth.
And Stansbury with the greasy matted hair looked skanky. But liberal women do that.
Try being civil?
Stansbury slandered the witness, he should have recourse.
Luna is a badass ☕
And beautiful!
Luna is wonderful and this witness is excellent. Thanks to both.
It's wildly amazing that she lies and then cries foul when call out on it.
It’s amazing how people can just lie, blatantly lie, and then be offended that we expose them!
Rep. Luna didn't call Rep. Stansbury a liar. She asked if the witness "would like to address some of the lies Ms. Stansbury told about you." Big difference.
She didn't call her a name, she said she lied. There was no name calling.
She did not even say that. She asked if he'd like the opportunity 'to address the lies'. How ridiculous that that stopped a session for so long.
I agree. Basically the chair just used different terminology to state that Stansbury lied and slandered the witness.
Where free speech go?
You must not understand the difference between being a liar and being called a liar.
Calling someone a liar doesn't make it true. They might be a liar, or they might not be a liar.
Lying requires intent. So if you call someone a liar because they said things that were not true, you would need to be able to prove 2 things. The things were not true and they knew it.
But if you say someone said things that were not true, you would only need to be able to prove 1 thing. The things said were not true.
The name calling accusation was less about "the rules" and more of a challenge to the questioner to back down from asserting the two things requiring proof, to just asserting the one thing requiring proof. Calling someone a liar is not "name calling" if the person is indeed proven to be a liar. It would be a true statement. But if they are not lying, or you can't prove they are lying, they have a legitimate complaint that you are unfairly slandering them, because by so called name-calling them a liar if they are not lying, you have attacked their character, whereas whether or not they said untrue things is just a dispute over facts.
That's why in situations like this name calling is just another way of saying someone is being judged based on their character, and they respond by throwing down a challenge to the questioner who is being asked, in a sense, whether to double down, and risk the exposure to slander accusations. Faced with potential downsides, if he is wrong, so he decides not to go there.
In the end, it would not have ended up as a violation of the rules if the questioner would have been willing to defend themselves against charges of slander and win. It's easier to just back off from the word liar because as you point out yourself, it's almost the same getting that point across without risking an attack on your own character if you wrong or can't prove someone's intent to lie.
Either side would have done the same thing. Stop making things you don't understand into phony partisan issues that divide us as Americans.
@@cb1623 - That is most definitely calling her college a "liar". Watch the video again.
Calling a lie a lie is not calling someone a big meanie name lol
Thank you! A very well-spoken gentleman!!!
Where the hell are the other members of the Commitee. Lots of empty seats in that hearing room.
She didn't call you names. But you know what they say - if the shoe fits 😂
Lol that should've been exactly the follow up.
it is SO RIDICULOUS that they only get 5 minutes with the witness in any circumstance that is outrageous and obviously designed that way so that no meaningful progress is made.
Seems so, but it keeps the slandering liars to a five minute term as well.
Is it name calling when you call a liar a liar? Asking for a friend
"I want to stall and shut the witness up"
Anna Paulina is a dynamite Congresswoman (also gorgeous) and that witness was far above average; he was honest, forthright, had facts & data at his command, and testified directly to the point. Kudos to them both!
Well, I thought the witness's focus on California's large number of power failures being directly related to its eco-friendly reliance on green energy was interesting. I say interesting because another factoid (which can be googled) which he appears to have conveniently omitted, is that Texas with possibly the most fossil-fuel friendly political environment of any state has by far the most power outages per capita, i.e. most customers affected by power outages. In fact, for 2022, the Texas per capita rate for power outages was a whopping 65,382. By comparison, for California, it was only 4515 (13th in state rankings)! In other words, when Texas has power failures, they tend to be far more massive and incapacitating affecting many more residents. I mean from this grid use perspective, which state would you rather live in??? My point is, it's very easy to manipulate facts to substantiate your point of view. I don't even think he's doing so purposely, but rather his ideology is driving a search for only his thesis supporting facts. I also have similar reservations about many of the other "facts" he presented but don't have the time or energy (ok, pun I couldn't resist) to address them all...
They made it very obvious that the dims are trying to FORCE our dollars in the ONE direction they are investing their dollars in.
@@jd-ft5fl I think maybe because California is one of the biggest pushers of"Going Green" Agenda but Texas is not pushing that agenda.
@@jd-ft5fl Texas outages was due to their GREEN energy which they produce more than any state.
@@jd-ft5fl Of course not.
So an untruth is not a lie? This is sick.
I love you Anna! Give them hell!
Ana Paulina Luna is one of the best new Republicans
She’s pretty and very well spoken. Doesn’t say things like we don’t need farmers or gas stoves lol

Kudos to Forbes for showing news the mainstream won't show...
You're right about this news I just love you too and I just love Google I'm 78 years old and I'm telling you you can find anything on Google. In fact my daughter and I we had the beautiful so far but it's sunk on one side we were able to load UA-cam and they showed us every step of the way how to put that stuff back together and make a firm and we did that's just the greatest thing I mean it's just the best. God-bless you you found me friends of cats and dogs
C- Span usually has these full hearings, which I highly recommend watching. The clips will always be slanted, leaving factual information in or out of the clip depending upon what the creator of the clip wants you to believe. It takes an incredible amount of work to keep your own feed impartial, and even when I make sure I equalize content, it will recommend the political slant of the last thing I watched in my recommended feed.
Except Forbes is unpoligetically Republican.
I prefer their style of showing actual content without the commentator's opinion. As comparable to just an opinion without showing the actual content. But my favorites are watching the full unedited versions, which Forbes does frequently, so I have the information before I listen to other's opinions. I thank Forbes and C-Span.
You are all right I'm glad I finally found it..
Identifing a lie isnt name calling.
there is nothing ad hominem about identifying a lie.

@Sue Tipping Why would democrats want to destroy the country when they have the senate and the White House??
I love that they have a lengthy sidebar to come to an agreement on how to call her a liar without calling her a liar. 😂
I also love that Rep Luna didn't argue and just changed her words a bit to mean the same thing :D
She didn't call her a lair! She said she lied.
Another example of the complexity of "The system"
As with many procedures its roots may have been honorable, or at least designed during a time when disputes could result in a Deadly duel.
Remember Hamilton and Aaron Burr ?
I reflect, today our system is verbally offensive and avoids dealing with issues.
In the past disputes at times resulted in physical violence.
@@kayakuprising5914 yep gotta love that she did not further violate the House rules. that was awesome! willing to bet every single lib (and probably most fellow patriotic ultra-magas too :)), were fully expecting her to double down and escalate the situation. especially since the title of the video seemed to promise a heckuva lot more drama than we got.

She didn't even call her a liar. She said she lied. You can say it's the same thing but it's technically not.

Saying someone lied is not name calling, it’s not calling you a name it’s stating an ACTION.
Watching congress's like watching schoolchildren fired over a kickball on the playground a lot a lot of crap and nothing gets done
AGREE. If you say "she lied" that is calling out an action. Saying she is a liar is a broad characterization which may or may not be warranted by a single act of lying.
Actually, what she characterised as “lies” were actually just a differing opinion. So that IS in fact against the rules
It's not clear from the video that Stansbury lied at all. In contrast, Luna's record makes it clear that she's a serious liar. That's just a fact.
You must not understand. The difference is between being a liar and being called a liar or someone who lied.
Calling someone a liar or saying they lied is the same thing. Only a liar can tell lies. Either way, it doesn't make it true. They might be a liar, or they might not be a liar.

@@herpderp3653 What do you think was meant by "our side?"
@@murrothbro195 His book on fossil fuel is very revealing. Well thought out and perhaps more importantly, very compassionate towards the worlds poor. Alex is one of the true heros putting his reputation on the line every single day to fight the madness of the left.
This witness is not right. He needs to stop.
Wish Luna was my representative. for New Mexico.
Rep Luna is skillful in the way she quickly adjusted and stayed on topic so that she could bring this information to light. That's professionalism and clear thinking. We need more like her.

Very admirable
Isn't it interesting how they blurred her out?
Words are scary!!! We are lead by a bunch of weak, cowardly people!
Everything is wrong with this. I don''t want decorum - I want them to slug it out on the house floor. Enough of this PC BS - let's get something done!
She really does put the Luna in lunatic.
I'm not calling her a liar... I'm just stating the fact that she lied... Whether other people see her as a liar or not is up to them.
Great point! name-calling never goes over well, but stating and correcting with facts goes far.
Exactly! She didn't call her a name!
Yes, and there is more than a semantic difference. Calling somebody a "liar" is a statement about who they are. Saying somebody lied is a statement about what they did. When criticizing somebody for doing wrong we should always criticize the behavior not the person themselves.
@@reasonforge9997 That difference isn't as big as you make it out to be. A lie is an act of willful deceit which _always_ reflects on a person's character, so unless you can prove a person has actually lied (rather than simply "misspoken") saying they lied is in practice no better than calling them a liar.
@@picnic66 After being captured in 1944, Master Sergent Roderick Edmonds refused to identify which of his fellow POWs were Jewish. When ordered to have just the Jewish POWs assemble outside the barracks he had all the POWs assemble and told the furious German Commandant: "We are all Jews here". This was a lie, but I do not think it is one that reflects badly on his character.
Standing ovation for this gentleman with brains!
Absolutely, however, I would love to grill him. The first question would be his thoughts on what to do with the spent rods and other nuclear waste from the nuclear energy plants? The second question would be his thoughts on fossil fuels versus nuclear energy. Say for instance the damage that fossil fuels would cause in the next 30 years versus one nuclear energy plant meltdown 30 years from now. Which would cause greater damage?
So Now to accuse someone of a LIE is not acceptable, but calling a LIE an 'UNTRUTH' is O.K. What's the f'n difference?
corruption wears a Tie
Love Rep Luna's common sense questions.
I am happy that logic is not dead in Congress
That wasn't "name calling".
We are always going to disagree? This is where we are. There is no truth in congress.
How ridiculous that they have to say "gentlelady", which isn't even a word, rather than "lady".
I guess it is startling when a politician gets called out for lying.
Not only startling but unusual!
Saying someone lied and calling someone a liar is 2 different things.
Yes but if the shoe fits...?
And with (D)'s its a given...!
Just do what they do in Parliament, where they are not allowed to accuse other members of lying: just call it "terminological inexactitude."
She said that woman told lies about the witness.
She did not call her a liar.
She characterized an action and did not “name-call“.
Excellent piece...more people should see this.....common sense and facts......opposite of many politicians
This young man is an incredible example of someone who speaks with full knowledge of the topic he is addressing. His tone, cadence and confidence tell you he has studied this matter. He is not reading talking points.
You are speaking of Alex Epstein - author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Fossil Future.
He wasn't hired based on his gender, color, sexual orientation, or any other woke bs that Biden and his cronies are into. Makes a huge difference when someone is qualified because they are knowledgeable about the subject that they speak about.
The witness never said "I don't recall" nor "I'll have to get back to you on that"
We could use him in a much reduced government, couldn't we?
The witness has no qualms about doing whatever he wants. He knows he'll be taking his dirt nap by the time his fossil fuels overuse kills the planet. Let his grandchildren deal with having no air to breathe.
Not only sharp in the head but absolutely beautiful!
She said that she lied on him ...she didn't actually call her a liar....Untruths spoken?? Isn't that Lying??🤷🏼♀️🤣🤣
The reason we have politicians that lie in congress is that we can’t call out dishonest politicians if she’s a liar, call her a liar.
fight club solves a lot of problems.
exit the chamber, strap on the gloves, resolve the conflict, win/lose with at least a shred of humility, reenter the chamber.
maybe erase some of the weakness and ego drowning our culture as well as the consequence-free shit talking many have gotten way too comfortable exploiting. you wanna claim victimhood while crying youre defamed as a liar...lace em up
I think it's hilarious when a known liar gets all butthurt for being called exactly what they are
Luna lies a lot. She lies about her past, she lies about her family, she lies about her heritage. Not seemly for her to call a member of congress a liar in official proceedings.
Agreed!
Hey, you are spot on man. When dishonest politicians are called out for being liars, like Trump or Lake or Oz, they get thrown out or not elected!
Id be interested in knowing if the Founding fathers would have stopped a meeting over "name calling".
Ms. Paulina Luna is an absolute gem.
Oh please.
Thanks Ms Luna. You are doing a great job. Wish we had some sanity here in CA. 🙄
The witness obviously did immense research and came to the hearing with compelling facts that should be heard and weighed and even debated. Critical thinkers welcome and thank the witness for presenting well-researched facts to the hearing.
Exceptional observation on your part, how you not pointed this out - the obvious, I and others might have been oblivious to this. Thank you.
iMAGN
This fellow obviously is well educated in his field and is a critical thinker unlike all of the employees in the Biden administration who were hired only for their skin color, ethnicity, gender, and/or LGBTQ credentials.
Alex is a true expert in the field.
Not many can even recall anything let alone research and bring facts
You can hardly be called a critical thinker if the story that you are laying out is to serve the fossil fuel industry which gives you the big bucks.
I wish the people sitting in the background remain impassive
Oh let's not hurt her feelings by calling a liar a liar.
Finally some sensible dialogue. Can we have more of this please? People who are willing to speak the truth. Seems to be lost in todays times.
I see the adults are entering the arena, go Luna!
Calling someone a liar is not name calling.
Unthinking is a good way to describe the entire administration
Let me say I've watched a lot of witnesses and this guy definitely knows what the hell he's talking about.
LOL! When the liar was claiming that being called a liar is "name calling" and a violation of their hearing rules.......insert the Anikan meme "LIAR!"
We need safe nuclear energy plant in every state.
