JESSE WATTERS: This whole House speaker drama is a racket
Fox News
FOX News Jesse Watters pulls the curtains on Congress' 50,000-page bill that includes millions for a bird sanctuary, Teslas and libraries on "Jesse Watters Primetime."
JESSE WATTERS: Donors aren't giving politicians money for favors. They want cash back and the politicians pay them back in pork right before Christmas Eve in one big old 50,000-page bill you can't read. But "Primetime" just read what the politicians want stuffed inside. Are you ready?
One-and-a-half million dollars for a carbon-neutral bird sanctuary in Virginia. How about this? $1,000,000 to put solar paneled roofs on low income housing in California. A quarter-million dollars to give Teslas to people in the projects. Where would they charge them? Don't worry. Half-a-million dollars for charging stations. Three-million for a playground in California. Now we researched what a playground cost to install – $50,000 tops.
How about $7 million for an inclusive and equitable park? What makes a park inclusive or equitable? I mean, do they lower the hoop, so Whites can dunk? We don't know. Five-million dollars to put Wi-Fi in a park. When have you ever been on a park and said, "Darn it, I can't get Wi-Fi here." One-million dollars to put grass and trees in a parking lot. I called my landscaper, and he said, sodding a parking lot, $2 a square foot, 30,000 square feet is $60,000 and he said $500 a tree. So let's say I want 100 trees in the parking lot. So that's 50-grand. We just sodded and planted trees for about $900,000 below cost. Eleven million dollars for a machine gun range. No wonder they think Mar-a-Lago is worth 18 mil. And Nancy Pelosi asked for a $5 million elevator at a train station. How many stories is this train station? One hundred?
