He Has Stage 5 Meltdown As Impeachments Begin

A major holiday phone plan deal from MintMobile is highlighted as a low-cost, accessible option at $15 per month, with a public domain music theme to emphasize affordability. The segment critically examines Donald Trump’s post-election claims about preserving the Oval Office, framing them as vanity-driven and disconnected from political reality. The host argues that Trump’s destruction of the East Wing and his blame-shifting tactics reveal a lack of ideological commitment and personal accountability. The discussion expands to expose systemic abuses by ICE, citing unlawful detentions, violence, and lack of oversight, advocating for abolition and federal investigations. Critics also point to GOP leaders like JD Vance and Tim Pool for misleading narratives and failure to take responsibility for policies that alienated voters. A significant shift in voter behavior—especially among young men aged 18–29—is noted, with a 32–40 point swing to Democrats, attributed to disenchanted youth and broken messaging. The hosts argue that right-wing influencers and podcasters have radicalized male audiences through deceptive claims, and that Democrats must now lead with accountability and real policy changes to regain trust. The conclusion urges political leaders, especially in Congress, to act decisively and ethically to rebuild public confidence and address the failures of the past.

So as Trump and the Republicans got absolutely wiped out on Tuesday, at least Donald Trump is staying on message. Kylie, roll the clip. Well, thank you very much. We have something that is of great interest to me, but it's of great interest to a lot of people, and it concerns the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room, very important spaces. And I'm going to be signing a document which will make them into a landmark for the ages. It won't be able to be taken down, destroyed, touched, or anything else. What's up, y'all? Ladies are out still. It's still Friday. I'm Charlie Goldenson. Folks online call me Shade Chuck. I am back hosting with our favorite Josh Welch. Good morning. Josh, what do you think about Donald Trump losing in a massive election and saying he's going to protect the White House? I assume this is by executive order. He's trying to preserve certain aspects of these rooms. So that future presidents can't change or alter things within them, their appearance. I mean, it's crazy absurd. Did he not just get the memo that everybody just got their ass wiped out? Like, seriously, there's a landslide and he's in there droning on about his vanity projects and this, you know, bullshit. I mean, come on, get with it. And I think that was part of their problem. He was their guy out on point. If you remember the day of the election, he was pointing out things. In a photograph related to algae to everybody, like with the reflecting pool, like, and some guy was handing him these slides and he was going through them and everybody's just like, where the fuck is this guy at? Is he even with us? Yeah. I mean, to me, it's, it's like the perfect, exactly what you said between the reflecting pool bullshit. I think it was the day before the election or two days before the election. And now this, I just think it's, it's, I'm not trying to like discredit how awful and terrifying Donald Trump is. But I think. It's really revealing that this guy has no actual ideology, right? Like, like he, there's not actually any kind of like political morality, um, driving his politics. Um, all he cares about is aesthetic, bad aesthetic, uh, and wealth accumulation. That's it. And perception. That's all he fucking cares about. And think about it like this. Like if he cared about policy three days after you got your ass kicked, ass kicked, wiped out a total wipeout. You, I wouldn't, you wouldn't, no one would be in the white house talking about signing an executive order to preserve the oval office and, and whatever these rooms are that he's decorated and wants to preserve. I mean, it's, it's insane. It's crazy. I mean, he, and again, it's like even getting the, even the fact that he's off the Republican message, he just doesn't give a fuck about anybody, right? Like, listen, voters, you guys just like had an uproar, almost a, a, a movement to say we are against what's going on in this country. And Donald Trump doesn't. He's not give a flying fuck about anybody. And also the idea that he cares about white house preservation. This motherfucker tore down the east wing a year ago. Okay. So like he's already destroyed half the white house and maybe I'll just say this too. The reason I think that he destroyed the east wing, but cares about this is because the east wing historically is run and operated by women. It is where the first lady operates her offices historically. So in his view, he's like, I don't give a shit about this. That's where the ladies play. Be gone with it. They're the big boys playing. This is where we eat our fucking McDonald's hamburger and we're going to keep this one forever. Yeah. Um, what a fucking loser. Dude. Um, Kylie, we're moving on to the next one. Uh, again, after this big blue wave house Democrats tweeted this out, this is from house judiciary Dems. It's time for ice to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated IE, Donald Trump budget, uh, Jeremy, uh, Senator, Congressman Raskin. Okay. Uh, what do you think about that? What do you think about that? Josh, what do you think about that? When I saw this tweet, this really, really pissed me off. And I want to remind the committee what ice did to our country during Trump's second term. So I want to take just a second. I want to remind each of these members on the committee that tweeted that, uh, ice agents killed nine people in our streets. They injured 13 and at least 30 different shootings, 11 of those shootings came in 2026 when ice basically declared war on the state of Minnesota. In other States that included, we know Renee good and ice agent shot her and called her a fucking bitch. Agent shot Alex pretty without any justification labeled him a terrorist agitator and insurrectionist by Steven Miller, Kristi Noem and Donald Trump, all on their social media accounts after murdering him in public for no reason. They troll him online. They troll him and his family. There has been no accountability, no investigations. Just one big fuck you to the family. They're not going to be able to get away with it. Texas, an agent shot a delivery driver and was not wearing his body cam. Surprise. In the Bronx, in New York, in October, a man was shot in the neck in his car with his five-year-old son in the backseat. Forty-nine people have died in ICE custody. Hundreds of federal judges have ruled more than, and here's the number, 4,400 times the administration was detaining immigrants unlawfully. That number is 4,400 times that a federal judge has found an unlawful detention. ProPublica reported more than 500 U.S. citizens, not immigrants, U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE agents, citizens. So committee members, when you tweet this bullshit, it's offensive. It's offensive to us. It's offensive to the people that voted on Tuesday. The solution is simple. And remember these words, okay? And remember this. Next time you want to talk about ICE in this subject matter, you abolish ICE and you investigate criminal enterprises. And ICE is just that. It's one big criminal conspiracy. You don't suggest it's time to take the mask off. That's bullshit. You don't suggest it's time to turn the body cameras on. That's complete bullshit you don't invite them to answer for their bloated budgets in a tweet like that that's embarrassing you subpoena these son of a bitches all of them put them under oath you abolish ice and you investigate crimes in coordination with state law enforcement officials you defund and abolish and this is offensive for those of us that care about this subject matter and i work with law enforcement as a defense lawyer it's embarrassing we did not vote for power for these officials to negotiate with domestic terrorists who murder our citizens, period, end stop.

We're gonna stick with whatever's in the public domain. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. - Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes, may slow, It bites me slow. Network is busy. See terms. Yeah, this is all about accountability. And I mean, it reminds me of Hakeem Jeffries going on doing an interview yesterday or two days ago, where he said that, you know, Americans, they don't want to account. They don't want us to take accountability. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can do both. We can do both. You can govern and you can fight for affordability while also holding these fascist enablers to account for the fucking crimes they've committed against American citizens and our neighbors. I'll also say to remind people, remember last year when TSA lines at airports were so insane that nobody could fly and it felt like planes were crashing out of the air. The reason that those lines were so long was because Republicans were holding up government federal funding because Democrats were asking at that point for ICE agents to have body cams. So while that was a righteous fight at that time, body cams are now the ground level. Okay. We are no longer in a position where all we can do is clamor and fight for body cams. We need to abolish ICE and we need to defund and we need to hold these motherfuckers to account. I completely agree with you, Josh. Now let's continue this discussion about accountability. There is a cabinet member who you guys might recognize who put out a speech or put out a clip yesterday after he heard that folks on the Democratic side might try to impeach him. Not about me, but of course the other side, in case you've noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman along with all his Democrat allies has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly, just like they tried against President Trump twice. You see, their policies don't work, so their obsession with political theater disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their government. Their opponents, it's all about the politics of personal destruction. Uh, no, thank you, man. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, clearly just remember too, before we even get into the endless list of shit that Hegseth has fucked up, um, within three months of being in the cabinet, this guy sent war secrets and war plans over signal to a journalist, right? Like this guy has no fucking idea how to do this job. His own mother put out a statement saying that she was ending her relationship with him because he was abusive, right? Like this guy is a fucking mess. The idea that he has any type of like that they're coming after him for personal reasons. This guy killed Americans. Americans have died overseas because of this fucking idiot. Um, sorry for all the cussing. Josh, what are you? Let's not forget that he murdered, you know, some guys on a fishing boat outside of Venezuela. Yeah. I mean, he just did that, you know, at one point in time, he was going to be removed and impeached for that. But the, the list is endless for this guy as to why he needs to go. I mean, he's so unfit for this office and this war that we're in and how he's handled it, the whole thing. I mean, and there's been reports that he may not make it until next week. His ass may be gone by this weekend. He didn't acknowledge this in his speech, but did, did you pay attention to the election Pete? Cause you're going to need a good criminal offense lawyer. You're going to need a good one. You're going to need a big wide pardon too. You're going to need the widest, biggest pardon you can get from that son of a bitch. I mean, it needs to cover miles of shit that you've done because you're going to need every inch of it. When you get hauled in front of committees, when you get investigated by different DOJ and that day will come, it will come. So just count on it. Yeah. And I think there is, you know, there is a valid conversation to be had here about Trump's scapegoating of cabinet officials and other people to take the pressure off. Right. I think that's, that's very real. Right. And like, this isn't me responsible for all these crimes. He is, but we've seen Donald Trump do this throughout his administration so far. He predominantly fires women. I think this might be the first man that might get impeached or I don't know. Um, but when things go wrong, when messaging is bad, when PR is bad, Trump sheds his people, right. And tries to cleanse himself of the bad PR to take the weight and the pressure off of himself. And so, well, yes, of course, I think it's great. And we should want all of these cabinet secretaries to be held to account and ultimately impeached and removed from office. We also have to remember that if you hear Donald Trump and his people talking shit about these cabinet officials, they're trying to shift the blame away from themselves. And yet they are the ones who are the kings of the castle. They are the ones leading the ship, uh, leading the Titanic straight into the iceberg. Um, continuing the discussion around accountability. There's somebody else who Democrats have their sight set on Kylie. This is two house Democrats advocate impeaching attorney general Todd Blanche. And once he's a possible path to conviction in the new Senate, Josh, this guy, I mean, uh, he's the worst of the worst. He should have never been confirmed. These bullshit Republican senators that rubber stamp this thing. They ought to be here to account for some of this stuff, all of it. Um, but I mean, where do you start? Yeah. He ought to be removed immediately. And we've got two Democrats that are on a, that were on a podcast talking about how, uh, they would pursue, uh, impeachment of Todd Blanche and they need to where it's the weapon, whether it's the anti weaponization fund. I mean, wrap your head around that. All these people go storm the Capitol, take a shit in it, you know, threatened to hang Mike Pence, all this stuff. And there's a committee and there's funds that they want to pay millions of dollars back to these people as reparation for their damages, for their suffering. I mean, is this like a fucking SNL, L skit, a joke? I mean, it's just crazy. I can't even wrap my head around it. And, and so what he does is he capitulates to the Republican senators to get confirmed. I remember he said, no, I won't pursue that, which means nothing, but of course you wouldn't pursue it. I mean, there's no basis to sue it. I blame all the Republicans for allowing his ass to be there. He represented Trump personally. He televised to everybody that he was Trump's personal lawyer, that his loyalty was to Trump. He didn't even depend, defend the department of justice in this IRS lawsuit. He gave Trump basically exemptions from having to be examined by the Department of Justice. And he doesn't even have the ability to be examined by the IRS or pay taxes for an infinite number of years, which is clearly unconstitutional. I mean, it just goes on and on and on. So, you know, put that on the list of fucking criminals to get out of office. You know, you can put that with Hexeth. You can add it to Mark Wayne Mullen at HSI. You can add, you know, just make your list of them. Just start. That's right. I mean, again, it's all about accountability. I'll take the, I'll use this time to go back to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, right? Like, I just think regardless of what accountability looks like, what it, regardless of the, the, the kind of, um, mechanisms of enforcement that we have, depending upon the office and depending whether we're talking about cabinet secretaries or talking about the attorney general or talking about ice officers, we need democratic leadership also who actually understand the, the importance and the power of this moment to put their fucking foot on the gas and hold these people accountable. Yeah. And, and the one thing Schumer has shown us is that he's incapable of doing that. If you, if you base people, uh, on their past conduct, you, you're going to be, you're going to be, you're looking at Schumer. I mean, he failed us miserably in 2024. Uh, he did not do that. There's nothing to suggest that he would do that. Get that son of a bitch out. Yeah. Um, get that son of a bitch out. That's right. Um, moving over to the wonderful vice president we have here, Kylie, uh, can you roll this clip please about JD Vance and clear about, and I have to say that I find it quite ironic to read a post from the vice president, as if he's describing the actions of a different administration. He's the vice president of the United States of America. He is not just some commentator online. And there has to be a reckoning of the fact that this is a war that they started. It's a war that they can end if they think it was a part of their political demise. And why don't they actually start to take some action to reflect that? First of all, uh, I just love that mayor Zoran Madani has joined the mustache train again. I must say, uh, second of all, for context for folks, what Zoran is referencing there is JD Vance, a day or two ago, put out a long statement, basically saying that we shouldn't have gone to Iran. The reason that the reason that the Republicans lost these elections is because of her on, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And the thing to remember about JD Vance is he's the fucking vice president of the United States of America. Uh, he is not somebody sitting on the sidelines. Uh, he's not a commentator. He's not a Fox news pundit. This is somebody who he's the second most powerful person in the fucking universe right now. And then again, this is like, it, it reminds me of Trump trying to put pressure on his cabinet secretaries. When people get mad at him, it's like you guys did this, you made these decisions and these aren't just bad political decisions for Republicans. The decisions you have made, whether it's invading Iran and bombing Iran, whether it's arming the Israelis and killing Palestinians, whether it's supporting ice, not wearing body cams and allowing them to wear face masks as they slaughter and kidnap, our neighbors, you are unleashing JD Vance, incredible harm upon communities, real harm that has impact on human bodies. Humans all over the world have suffered and are suffering because of you because of what you have done. And the idea that you would put out this statement as if you were taking a step back and just a viewer of this is so insulting. Um, it's like you think Americans are stupid. We're not stupid. This isn't hard to understand. You did this and you will be counted as well. Josh. Yeah. And I equate this to, it's like you're the quarterback of an NFL football team and you play a game and you play horrible and you lose the game. And then the day you write an article about it as if you weren't playing quarterback for the team you you describe what happened but you don't acknowledge that you're the quarterback for that team and that you had an awful game i mean it's absurd he acts like yeah i mean if you think the war is awful and that's the reason guess what you've got the power to end this thing like why not do it like take some ownership that's the thing that makes me the maddest about these clowns is that they don't mind wreaking havoc on everybody lying to everybody stealing grifting from everybody trolling citizens after they're murdered calling them terrorists they don't mind doing all that but when it comes to having to be accountable for doing it they don't own it guys like him run from it like you see vance you see marco rubia all these guys are running from that no it's too late for that own that you you chicken son of a own everything that you did that's right and they have no victories to run off i don't mean victories electorally i mean the reason one of the reasons they got blown out this election is because they had zero policy successes all they are able to do now is put out statements saying how the things they did were bad and maybe that's why we lost this election but don't worry i didn't do it this thing over there that i am not connected to that's right i'm going to blame you too charlie on all my profanity too if you don't mind that's fine i'll own that i've got a potty mouth um and i'll use this to go into our our final segment here which is because of things like this republicans saw a massive shift of voters to democrats on tuesday right including uh white people not as large as we want but some but mainly young men kylie can you roll the clip the younger generation you saw the numbers under 30 swung like 32 points left which is insane and this younger generation it's like as big as the baby boomers you just forget about them how do republicans i can't even believe i'm saying this win back young men i'm not sure they do and it's and it's worse than people realize 18 to 29 year old young white men with no college degrees swung 40 points to the democrats and i don't think it's all because they're socialists i think it's because many of them want to burn the republican party down thank god um something he actually says later in that clip is that he act one of the reasons that tim pool the guy with the beanie covering his bald spot who we discovered a couple years ago was on payroll by the russians um he says later in that clip that he thinks one of the reasons that men started voting for democrats is because that republicans aren't nationalist enough he basically goes on to say that because trump started to to cater towards immigrants have too much empathy towards immigrants that that's why they lost young men um i have a lot to say josh what do you think about uh young men starting to shift back towards well if the voice of the republican party or some of the influencers or podcasters or guys like that little twerp you know it's no wonder that they lost you know a shift in 30 or 40 points if you're having to listen to idiots like that and i don't know this guy tim pool is that what he said his name is he's a joke some right wing nut or something but i mean he's not somebody i'd listen to for five seconds nor do i think my sons would or other kids that i know but aside from that um i they just went too far these right wing nuts just went too far when you start losing the barstool crowd you know those college dumb then that that says a lot that says a lot you're going too far for them which trump and these guys did people were tired i mean the corruption was so blatant and we talked about this on the podcast they reached another level with the they did i think for young men like you and me i mean there are a lot of decent young well young men i'm kind of being generous there i'm sorry no me too young men like you charlie ouch um but no there are a lot that that um think that the trump administration their policies are unacceptable and seriously they are well yeah and i also just think that like young men just like everybody else but young men were lied to and they feel lied to right and like we talk about accountability i've talked about this a lot people like joe rogan the yvonne tim pool the barstool crowd like they all need to be held accountable for uh leveraging their platforms all of them to promote trump and to pass along his messaging but the other thing is like these are audiences of these male bro podcasters also who are not the most informed on politics because they're not necessarily seeking out politics and it is absolutely the responsibility of these podcaster types tim pool is a he's a political commentator but rogan's the ovons these comedian types like they need to be honest with themselves about their role and responsibility and frankly kind of radicalizing men the wrong way and the thing is a lot of men heard from those voices that oh trump wasn't going to send us to war and trump was going to put more money in my pocket he lied to you okay and some of us i will say knew he was lying and we were trying to scream it from the rooftops that you were being deceived um so with getting that all off my chest i will say i am grateful that young men are starting to swing back it is now the responsibility again of democrats not just me and pundits but of democrats in office again i'm looking at you chuck schumer hakeem jeffries we need leadership who is going to get done if we do not have democrats in leadership who actually move the needle on policy who actually make decisions that impact young people's lives the pendulum is going to swing back again and we cannot have that um we're going to wrap this one up today again thanks everybody for joining us like i said i'm charlie i'm with mr josh we're filling in for the ladies on
