He's Slammed By More Bad News After Disaster Day

All right, right on schedule, you know, Trump was paralyzed at the results. Texas is blue, Kansas is blue, Iowa, South Carolina, a complete repudiation of all things MagoS Tuesday. For like a day or two there, he like took it on the chin. And I was like, is this growth? No. Old habits die hard pop this up. Trump. Does anybody really believe that this election in parentheses was honest? How could the polls be so wrong? Some early voting dumps were so large that it was impossible to win. No matter how many people went to vote, it's all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter. President D. J. T. He just cannot help himself. And it's interesting. If you, if you guys will go watch my Sunday interview with a historian and authoritarian expert, Professor Ruth Bengeon. I said, he seems to be taken on the chin. And she said, no, he's brooding and he'll eventually start with a conspiracy theories. Two days later, here we are. And I'm going to argue that he never acted as if he was going to take it on the chin. He tried to sue in 27 different lawsuit states to get their male ballots voting ballots and lost every single one of them. He weaponized DOJ and threatened the intimidated state and local officials. But think about this. Under his theory, the way he thinks that the Democrats cheated, think about this, we would have to have infiltrated red states with red secretary of state, you know, red governors up and down the ticket. And then we would have had just barely lose two or three races, like Angie Nixon's or someone else just close enough to where it looked like it was, we might put out, but we didn't. We'd have had to have orchestrated all of that. And the guys are narcissists. So he doesn't sink into him that, hey, maybe I suck. Maybe my policy suck. Maybe people are just mad. Maybe they don't like me. You know, he can't consider that fact. That's not on the table for him. No, it's a great point. And the Democrats need to start immediately playing offense. This is a time to immediate play offense and say, oh, yeah, Greg Abbott, let us come in and get all the voting machines and Ken Paxton, they just said, here, guys, go ahead, just rig it up. But yeah, make sure Tel Rico beats Ken Paxton by 20. I mean, make it big while you're in there. Yeah. Titions. We can be invisible. Yeah. I mean, it's just so ridiculous, these people. All right, moving along. JD Vance, who we are here at IHIP News have endorsed to be the Republican nominee for president in 2028. We also condemn him at the same time. We endorse slash condemn. I just really think it'd be really fun to beat JD, especially with our expanding map. This is why it would be so fun because here he is with his Riz on full display. Play the clip. Before I get into the meat of my remarks, I wanted to talk, of course, about the devastating loss last week. And just a little bit about that, you know, of course, there are a lot of people. I think unfairly criticizing the leader of the team despite leading us to a great victory two years ago. A lot of people criticizing unfairly the leader of the team. There are a lot of staff infighting and questions about reshuffling. And of course, there's a conversation about whether the number two has what it takes to ultimately lead the team. I'm talking, of course, about the Ohio state buckais and running, running all 50 states sending on a 50 state tour, running. He's hilarious. My stomach hurts so bad from laughing at his joke. Yeah, he's the he's the one that I like to refer to that wrote that op-ed about the administration and how they fucked this whole war up and how the thing went sideways when he was in fact the biggest ringleader in this thing. In the situation where I did cover for everybody was a huge part of this. And now, guess what, JD, you can't run from this. Don't try to get the magazine off. It's on. And it's not going away either. All right, people are now fleeing the Trump administration after the blue nominee popped this up. Breaking another major DOJ resignation assistant attorney general Brett Schumat head of the civil division is out. AG Todd Blanche confirms his departure making the fourth major DOJ resignation since Trump's devastating midterm defeat. Josh, you work with your criminal defense lawyer, you work with the DOJ. What do you read into this? What do you read into these career DOJ? They're leaving now. You will see them fleeing in mass exodus from the Department of Justice. And here's why. A lot of these lawyers have to stand up in court on some of these cases and take positions that the administration wants them to take that are simply not true. They have to basically get up and lie to the court. I think we talked the other day on the show about how the court found 4,400 unlawful detentions in immigration cases. And there's a plethora of violations against DOJ lawyers pending right now where they've stood up and told the court one thing when in fact it wasn't true. And that's unheard of. Like anyone that worked at the Department of Justice to stand up and lie to a federal judge, you would never think that would happen. And it became commonplace now under this Department of Justice. So these lawyers are starting to see that, hey, maybe I want to have a career after this administration is over. Maybe I want to be able to stand into a courtroom and talk to a federal judge. And my word actually means something. And if so, then I need to get the fuck out of DOJ. I need to leave. Because if I stay here, it's not going to stop. I mean, they've got standing orders from Todd Blanche and others to follow their agenda, whether the facts and the law support it or not. They've got standing orders to do that. And I think you're seeing that. Like that's the head guy of the civil division. You know, we just had the head of the civil rights division last week. I mean, they're all fleeing. So was that guy was he there during the Biden administration or when a new administration comes into the end point? No, he would be, he would be new. He would be new in this term because all of the Biden people are pretty much gone. And I think they lost four, five, six thousand lawyers in the last two years or maybe employees, but, but if the lawyers, it's a large number. I mean, they can't, you know, at one point, they're trying to hire lawyers on X. Do you remember that? Like, send us a DM. If you want to go to work for the Department of Justice, that's what bottom feeders these guys are. I mean, it's brutal right now at DOJ. It's bad. Didn't they also want to hire, they wanted to hire video gamers to be air traffic controllers that Sean Deffey, he wanted to hire, yeah, just nuts. Okay. All right. And then let's do a little check in with Mitch McConnell. He's now responding to Republican losses in the midterms. Play the clip. Make a quick reaction to the midterms. The GOP's midterms losses. What do you think is going to change? Do you think that Republicans? Okay. No problem. Do you think Republicans will get anything done in the lame duck session? All right. Here's what I propose. Get JD Vance and Mitch McConnell on a 50 state tour, stepping for the Republican party for the next election. Because it's one of those two things. It's a young guy like JD Vance, who is a liar, a hypocrite, bought and paid for a fully owned subsidiary of Peter Teal. Or it's this guy right here who was an absolute domestic terrorist in his policies. Absolutely terrorized all United States citizens did not do the people of Kentucky any good whatsoever. And masterfully corrupted the Supreme Court to where now it is a full blown rubber stamp for oligarchs and corporations and not for the American people. And he just has to cling onto power. He doesn't resign. Shame on everybody around him and in his life that trought him to the Senate floor like that. That is just absolutely unbelievable. But I'm going to say this. Both parties have done this. They've trotted out Diane Feinstein was an incredible senator for the Democrats for many years. And she did this. Now he's doing this. We need to usher in an era where when you get too old, you resign. Like when you're in a wheelchair, you can't speak. When you are nonverbal in a wheelchair, you can't be a senator. Call me crazy. But I just think that's fucking nice. Let me make one observation. You could show that clip of Mitch McConnell and you could show the clip of JD Vance side by side. And believe it or not, I think that Mitch McConnell would have a larger, higher favorability rate simply because he didn't say anything. Listening to JD Vance is actually worse. The number one number two bit. Yeah. No, I think so. So anyway, beyond that, I hate to say anything else about Mitch in that state. All right. All right. Now switching completely completely different energy from what we just saw for Mitch McConnell. Here is the mayor of New York City, one Zoraan Mamdani, putting on a master class on Fox News, play the clip. More Torium. These are the kinds of things that also characterize what we've been doing right here in New York City. And yes, I'm proud to be doing so as a mayor who's a member of the Democratic Socialist of America. Okay. Get rid of borders. No. Get rid of SCOTUS. No. Get rid of jails. No. So do you think TSA is going to kick you out? No. It sounds like you're not aligned with some of the core things they really want to get done. You know, when you go into a room and there are more more than one socialist in the world. room, you will often find disagreement in that room. And what unites members of the Democratic Socialists of America is in many ways what has brought people into politics over the years a belief in the dignity of working-class people and the dignity that has to be the characteristic of their lives and an understanding that democracy for it to be meaningful can't just be at the bout box. It has to be in the rest of our lives from the workplace to every other aspect of it. And that's why I'm excited to be a member and that's why I've been excited also to deliver for New Yorkers. Now refreshing and I love how she wanted so desperately to try to pigeonhole him and to some quote unquote extremist view, you know, abolish prisons now abolish the court now. Is the DSA going to continue for this? No. Like we disagree on these issues. What's the big deal? And then he's pivoted immediately to what I have in common with the people of the DSA is we want to restore integrity and dignity to working-class people instead of scapegoating them and calling them lazy and don't you need to manage your money better and not go get a Starbucks. Remember in all the oligarchs for saying that a couple months ago to working-class people? So patronizing. That is just such a shame that he wasn't born in the United States. He moved here when he was three but God would he not be a just tremendous president. And he has this talent to wear when they're asking questions like that. These sort of got you questions that he just starts to smile. You see the big smile on his face and then he answers it. Now I will say this it would have been a tougher answer for him had she said abolish eyes. Now she did a very nobody wants to get rid of that. He would have said yes. Yeah well nobody wants to get the things she asked about like you can be as liberal and social as you want but we don't believe in abolishing jails or not protecting the border. Nobody believes in those sayings that we believe what we don't believe in are these criminals that are working for ice going around shooting people with mask on. That's what we don't believe in. Beyond that we believe in protecting the public. We believe in protecting our borders. What about that time he was he went to the White House the first time and we're all watching it because everybody thinks okay Trump's going to be so mean to Zoran and then Trump is just like sitting there like this and Zoran's looking at about him and the press is like do you still think he's a fascist and Zoran's like you can just see he's like oh fuck and he goes it's okay. Trump he goes it's okay go ahead and call me Zoran's like yeah. No he did he kind of just kind of get me that look like yeah. Yeah I still think he's a fascist yeah and I do think if she would have asked him do you want to abolish eyes I think he would have said yes and I want to prosecute them and then need to be jailed. No I agree with you I just think I think he would have given a simple answer. He's a political talent and you know who else has this is Abdullah Sayed. Yeah he does too. He has that talent. They're really really really great politicians and and I believe they're sincere I mean they have just that talent of sincerity and moral clarity and the ability to go in the hornet's nest box like that smile from ear to ear because everybody wants to brand him. Oh he's a G hottest and all this shit and Abdul does the same stuff. Obama does the same stuff. They're just such great antidotes to all of the propaganda that the right wing sells us that these people are you know these crazy radical G hottest and it's like no they're not they're trying to restore dignity for working class people and saying people Fox News had to pay a billion dollars for lying to by the way hello Fox y'all they wrote a couple of stories on me today. I know what they have that'll that'll be fine. So I will say this about him and Abdul Al Sayed is when you're not leveraged and you can go in and give whatever answer you believe in an honest answer then people respect someone who's got a conviction for something even if you disagree with parts of it if you believe in something and you give that answer versus this word salad shit that we hear from politicians where they try to cut it both ways and you see that instantly with politician so it's refreshing to see that I wish more people had it. All right that's all we have the cancellation is still ongoing but it's been very unsuccessful I think last we checked we were up just on YouTube alone 40,000 subs the strisand effect is taking place so I'd like to welcome all of our new 40,000 subs on YouTube Kylie's going to get the numbers on the audio version but make sure you're subscribed here and make sure you're subscribed on the audio versions the numbers help us a lot on I've had it and this podcast I hit news by my back not today fascist I'm going to add to that not today turning point we'll be back later with more news.
