Chapter 237 TV debate, do you dare to come David
"Congressman Pierce, there are some urgent matters to deal with in our bureau. I have to go first. Sorry!"
Here comes Hancauson. The words that came before him made Pierce understand, no matter how stupid he was, that this was really what David was doing!
But before he could think too much, he turned around and saw that David had found the next invited person to 'communicate' with.
In the following time, 7 or 8 invited celebrities came to say goodbye to him, which made Pierce a little unable to sit still.
Unable to get off the stage, he immediately came to David and said dissatisfied: "David, don't cause trouble for me here!"
David stopped and turned to look at the fool. He looked at him with a stern look and said: "Am I causing trouble? I'm afraid you did it first, right?"
"..."
Pierce was choked by these words. Of course I know that David is accusing him of attacking the black tax bill, but having said that, it seems that he really did it first, and now David is just fighting back to some extent
Not here Regardless, David continued to find the next invited celebrity to 'talk' with. .
At the same time, outside the hotel gate.
"Florenzo, who came out earlier, now Director Hancauson, City Manager Bart, and... these people have all left. This dinner has just begun!"
"It's okay if one person leaves temporarily. It's definitely abnormal for so many people to leave temporarily. Could it be that something happened inside?"
"Something must have happened, otherwise these celebrities wouldn't They will leave in large numbers so early.”
Seeing the invited celebrities inside leaving, both the media and the people who were squatting here were very surprised. .
When thinking of David's recent arrival, many people even speculated that the person who caused all this was probably David himself, which made everyone even more curious about what happened inside.
While the outside world was speculating, David at the hotel had 'taken care' of a dozen invited people, which made the originally lively party scene instantly deserted.
As for the celebrities who have not been approached by David at this time, they are also extremely entangled in their hearts at this moment. Of course they can see that although David came for Pipps today, but now It is also forcing them to take sides.
Should we stand with Pipps, or should we stand against the Western Suburbs Bureau!
Thinking of the director's ruthless tactics, and the fact that so many friends were forced to leave, the remaining celebrities gradually couldn't bear the pressure. They didn't want to be affected by the fire at the city gate, and then they They all came to Pips one after another, said sorry to him, and then left together.
At this time, Pipps's face was terrifyingly dark. Originally, he had specially organized today's party to win support from all walks of life, but he didn't expect that David would crash the party now. If word of this got out, So where does he put his face?
No, maybe word has spread by now, and many people are already laughing at his joke!
Thinking of this, Pips was almost fuming with rage.
Here, David was quite satisfied when he saw that most of the celebrities from all walks of life had recognized each other and left, which saved him a lot of trouble.
“Director, look over there.”
After hearing the reminder of the trial of Nissen, David turned around and saw a few people standing in the area to the left of Pips, and among these people were the three brothers and sisters of the Camorra family.
"Except for the three brothers and sisters of the Nacamora family, these are also the gray industry rulers in Long Beach District, Santa Monica District... several districts."
Listen At these words, David nodded slightly. It seemed that these people were determined to support Pips, and these people also thought that just because they were not in his jurisdiction, they didn't have to be afraid of him, right?
That would be a big mistake!
Putting away his thoughts, David walked up to Pipps and said, "Mr. Pipps, I wish you a happy dinner tonight!"
After finishing speaking, David cast a sharp look at Camorra and the others behind him, then turned and left.
After he walked out of the door, Pips, who was already extremely angry, kicked the table next to him. The food and knives and forks on the table instantly fell to the floor.
“Damn it!”
Looking at Pips who was like a furious lion, the Camorra family and others shrank their heads, and finally walked up, as Camorra Riker Camorra, the current head of the La family, spoke to comfort him: "Congressman Pipps, David's arrogance is nothing more than the source of his power from the black tax bill. As long as this bill is repealed, Then he will be a toothless tiger from now on!”
In fact, Pipps’s attack on the black tax bill was just to win votes from California criminals. Personally, he has nothing to do with David. Resentful.
But tonight David slapped him in the face like this. He has secretly made up his mind. Even if he cannot push Congress to repeal the black tax bill, he will still use this to create a big trouble for David and the Western Suburbs Bureau. Come, let these people know the consequences of messing with him!
Putting away his thoughts, Pipps turned to look at the three Camorra brothers and sisters, and asked: "You three brothers and sisters support me, right?"
"Of course, as long as Pip Congressman Sri Lanka, can you persuade Congress to repeal this bill? Our family is willing to do some small part!”
Although the Camorra family has become white on the surface, the gray industry is still their economy! pillar.
The introduction of the black tax bill is equivalent to a knife hanging above their heads, making them feel a huge threat at any time.
And if there were no restrictions under the Black Tax Act, not only would this be equivalent to taking the knife away from their heads, but without having to pay such a huge amount of tax to the IRS, their family's income would naturally increase significantly. This is what tonight The reason why the three siblings are here to stand up for Pipps.
"Okay, in that case, it's up to you!"
Pips also knows the underground influence of the Camorra family in Los Angeles, and has obtained the support of this family, then Basically, he has the support of all the criminal elements in Los Angeles, which is very helpful to him.
......
"Director Ducoure, I don't want to teach your Long Beach branch how to do things, but the Camora family is so openly supporting Pips, your Long Beach branch Don’t you plan to do something?”
After coming out of the Georgia Hotel, David immediately called Long Beach District Bureau Chief Ducoure.
"He is now a socialite in Los Angeles, and most of the criminals who have anything to do with him have 'confessed' to our Long Beach branch. How do you think I can serve as Director David? We The IRS has great power, but it can’t restrict people’s freedom out of thin air, right? Are you a vegetarian?”
If someone else were to accuse this, then with Ducoure’s current status and temper, He was about to start scolding a long time ago, but it was David who called, so he suppressed his temper and just complained a few words.
"You should know the power of the Camorra family. If he stands with Pips and encourages him, it will be very detrimental to us. So, you'd better deal with him. If you can’t figure it out, send us the files on them and our Western Suburbs Bureau will get them!”
As the underground leaders of Los Angeles, the Camorra family can be regarded as representing all the lawless elements in Los Angeles. If the family is determined to side with Pips and support the attack on the Black Tax Act, it will only make Pips even more powerful.
Hearing this, Ducoure felt extremely uncomfortable at this time. The Camorra family's headquarters is in the Long Beach District, and if David cleans up this family, wouldn't it make people think that their Long Beach District Branch is incompetent?
And there is another point. Now that Pipps has stood up to criticize the black tax bill, anyone with a discerning eye can see that David is forcing Hollywood to jump over the wall, and Hollywood has unleashed this move.
It can be said that it is David and his West Suburban Bureau who are causing all these troubles, but now David is blaming the responsibility on their Long Beach Bureau?
This is simply unreasonable!
"Your Western Suburbs Branch has a lot of things to do on its own, so why bother you with the affairs of the Camorra family? I will talk to them!"
Ducoure replied, suppressing his dissatisfaction.
"That would be best, Director Doucouré."
In fact, David doesn't have much interest in taking care of the Camorra family. He now has to deal with Hollywood and this Peeps has a lot of trouble, and it would be best if the Long Beach Bureau could handle it themselves.
After finishing the call with Ducoure, David called the chiefs of several Los Angeles districts on the way to ask them to take care of the criminals in their jurisdictions. , don't let these people get involved in Pipps' camp to support him.
…The next day.
What happened at the Georgia Hotel last night undoubtedly made the headlines in several morning newspapers in the United States.
[Los Angeles Times: Pipps’s proud dinner invitation turned out to be a farce. What did David do in it? 】
[Wall Street Journal: Congressman Pipes was brutally smashed in the face at the Georgia Hotel! 】
[Washington Post: After Congressman Pipps criticized the black tax bill, David of the Western Suburban Bureau immediately responded. The congressman’s embarrassing moment...]
[...]
In a suite on the top floor of the Georgian Hotel, Pips gritted his teeth as he read the various joking and satirical content about him in the morning newspaper.
At this moment, Peristerdam walked in and looked at Pips' face and the newspaper placed below it. He already knew the content and was not surprised. Instead, he spoke Said: "The media likes to exaggerate to gain attention, and ignore their Mr. Peoples."
"What to do next, do you have a plan?"
Pips asked.
"I thought about it all night. My opinion is that the current economy of the United States is indeed very tight, and the black tax bill has gradually evolved into an important revenue source for the fiscal year. If you want to move this bill, the White House will probably be the first to do so. I disagree. "
"The second is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Because you disobeyed her yesterday, Mr. Peoples, she and even the majority party in Congress will never support you. If we want to move this bill, we can only rely on the voters!”
The political system of the United States is very interesting. First of all, it has the separation of powers, and Congress has the power of legislation and supervision. An institution with power and personnel power, its status can be said to be the most important in the system of separation of powers.
However, in the final analysis, the power of Congress is exercised by members of the House and Senate, and these members need the support of voters whether they want to be re-elected or take office.
So in theory, even if Congress does not support the black tax bill, as long as the bill is supported by voters, and under the pressure of voters, Congress will eventually give in.
Therefore, Peristerdam now says that making a fuss about voters is indeed a good way to break the shackles from the root.
Pips is naturally not stupid as he is a congressman. He immediately understood what his confidant meant and replied: "You are right. With the support of the Camorra family, we It can win the support of most criminals in Los Angeles, but it is not powerful enough to move this bill..."
"Yes, so I think Pipps should use your best skills. , we must use television to launch a debate on this bill to gain more support.”
In the United States, we use television to participate in debates and criticism of a certain policy or bill. , is actually a very common method.
Because by participating in TV debates, politicians can showcase their opinions and talents in the mass media and increase their visibility and influence among the public.
Television debates are an important opportunity for politicians to demonstrate their policy positions, leadership capabilities and debating skills to voters. During the debates, they can discuss the issues that voters care about most and win their support and trust.
In addition, TV debates are not only a stage to showcase themselves, but also a platform to attack their opponents. Politicians can incite negative emotions among voters and weaken their opponents' support by criticizing their opponents' policies, words and deeds, etc.
At the same time, TV debates are also an important opportunity for politicians to shape their personal images. They can use carefully prepared speeches, powerful rebuttals and confident performances to portray themselves as decisive, far-sighted and capable leaders.
Through television debates, politicians can promote their political agenda and policy propositions to the public, strive for public understanding and support, and promote the formulation and implementation of relevant policies.
In short, participating in TV debates is one of the important means for American politicians to win the support of voters, increase their popularity, attack their opponents, shape their personal image and promote their political agenda.
Pipps' eyes lit up and he replied: "You mean, I challenged David to a TV debate?" The elected candidate is currently the spokesman for the black tax bill. If you can criticize this bill in a TV debate in front of the whole world, if he fails to answer the question, he will be criticized by the whole world. There is an embarrassment in front of him."
"And if he dares not come, then the iron-fisted image he has erected before will collapse, and Mr. Peeps, you, as his destroyer, will destroy his previous image and charm. It will definitely bless you, and it will also gain you a lot of support!"
After saying this, Pips slapped his thigh suddenly.
If Peristerdam hadn't been his confidant, he would have said that this move was really 'vicious'!
First of all, if David does not dare to debate, the image he has established before will indeed collapse.
After all, Americans admire heroes. Now I have made a declaration of war against you David. If you don’t come, you will be a coward. What will those who support you think?
It’s better to come.
Although David has some abilities, they are limited to apprehending criminals through the IRS system. Debating this kind of thing is a specialty of any American politician.
Because in the United States, all politicians must have good eloquence so that they can please and persuade voters to vote for them.
Although his political performance is not very good, as a veteran of Congress, he has a great skill in talking.
In the past few years, many people from opposing parties have tried to come to California to canvass votes, but they were all brutally refuted by him in TV debates.
And now David is just a young boy. If it really comes to such a debate, why don't you be played to death by him?
Thinking of this, Pips grinned: "Then what are you waiting for? Give him a 'challenge' immediately!"
"Understood!"
Peristerdam immediately turned away.
Soon after, when everyone was still talking about what happened at the Georgia Hotel last night, a new tweet from Peoples came out, instantly causing the United States to explode.
The content of the tweet was nothing else. It was the TV debate challenge that Pips openly challenged David of the Western Suburbs Precinct. The content was even more sharp, short of directly saying that if David did not dare to come, If so, it would be a coward.
“Oh, Mr. Pips is trying to tactic Director David. I just don’t know if Director David dares to go!”
“This Pips Congressman Si is quite cunning. Who doesn’t know that TV debates are your specialty? Director David’s strength is taxation. If you use your own strength to challenge other people’s weaknesses, isn’t that bullying?” br>
"It's a bit unfair, but as Director David is the spokesman for the black tax bill, and Congressman Peoples is the critic of the black tax bill, these two people should really go on the TV station to debate their support points. ."
"Anyway, there is something good to watch now."
"..."
The Internet is abuzz, but not all netizens are watching. It was lively, and many people also saw the vicious intentions contained in Pips' so-called debate challenge, and immediately started to defend David.
No matter what the grievance is, everyone knows that since Pips has openly declared war, David can only fight to resolve the current situation.
Otherwise, once someone is accused of shrinking and being a coward, the support rate will inevitably plummet.
