Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was interrupted multiple times Friday during a speech at a Republican lawyers conference when pranksters played music over the venue’s sound system. The troll, whom the Ohio Republican was not able to find, interrupted him multiple times — playing songs such as Jelly Roll’s “Liar.” The interruption also included circus tunes and was caught by a C-SPAN camera.

The initial disruption was met by laughter that quickly turned to confusion in the room. Eventually, the music temporarily derailed Jordan’s remarks as he spoke about federal oversight and his role as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

“This is great,” he said as “Liar” blared through the speakers. “There’s probably some Democrat doing this.” Moments later, he asked the crowd, “That was that Jelly Roll guy, right?”

Elsewhere during his remarks, the GOP lawmaker was discussing topics from Elon Musk to censorship when he got flustered by the prankster. After the interruptions continued, Jordan told the crowd, “I can take a couple of questions, or we can just listen to the music and laugh, it’s up to you.”

1. Rockin' & Rasslin' Roll

2. Flustered Fascists--beautifully filmed in 1979

In Volker Schlöndorff's merciless takedown of the Nazi takeover of Danzig, this was one classic scene of many.

Just substitute Gym Jordan for the rally leader.

3. That is a great clip.

I have a small canned air horn I got in the boat section of the big box store. Really really loud and I use it for those annoying phone calls I get every day, sometimes several times a day.
Lots of them in a crowd could really bring down a speaker. Just a thought.

5. This is considered among the three greatest post-war German films ever.

Günter Grass despised the Nazis, and never missed a chance to ridicule them, Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum) being his most famous novel. Schlöndorff's filming of it was just masterful, seeking out the perfect actors for the roles.

One of the other two was "Die Brücke," a brilliant 1959 film about the last days of the war when some teenage soldiers are sent to guard a meaningless little bridge over a stream in their home town. The commanding officer knows full well that a total surrender is coming, and tells the officers under him "no unnecessary deaths," so these kids are sent back to their home town to "guard" the bridge, with the idea that nothing will happen for a couple of days, and they can all go home. It doesn't turn out that way.

The third one was a recent one called "Das Leben der Anderen," or "The Lives of Others." It is in the last years of the socialist regime, focusing on a Secret Police (Stasi) officer who is also an instructor for recruits. He is assigned to spy on a dissident, and catch him "in the act," so to speak. The file on him is immense, and the Stasi has wired his whole apartment, while a Party Boss demands sex from his girlfriend in return for protecting them from arrest. The Stasi instructor, who leads a rather empty life outside of his work, begins to slowly acquire sympathy for his "subjects," which he knows he should never do, and he knows it could ruin his life. The regime falls just before the end of the film, and a few people end up in rather different positions than those they had before the wall fell. Mostly actors from the former East Germany were used for this film, and while West German audiences were blown away by the film, East German audiences (my wife saw it in Leipzig shortly after it came out) sat motionless in stunned silence when the curtain came up. They had just seen their lives played back in front of them. It even got an Oscar in the USA.

7. Have you ever seen the movie A Face in the crowd.

1958 staring Andy Griffin. He was a populist and a phony. The happy ending was a lady kept the microphone running when he thought it was off and the whole country heard him call the idiots.
I’m hoping for the same ending to this movie.

8. Sounds like it was inspired by Uncle Don

From the pre-TV days, when radio was everything.

9. The main character was Lonesome Rhodes.

Donnie Rhodes might fit?

10. Andy Griffith

A great American.

4. 2 clips

And you have to get through some ads but worth it to watch this fool getting laughed at.

Just the title of the event alone is a laugh! Jordan was addressing a conference of attorneys on the topic of “Successes of the Trump Administration and Republican Priorities.”
