Right, when quints asks where you heard about them, let them know it was the Philip DeFranco Show. It's one of the best ways to support the show. Would Joe Rogan and Nick Fuentez are doing right now? Exposed a lot about what's coming next after Trump's insane boss last week. He'd hex as a morning presser, was extra bizarre and pathetic. Go dive into what's next after James Gunn got blindsided and fired from DC studios. And a Brooklyn woman was allegedly murdered in a random attack with the man accused of killing her had somehow passed the city screening to work at an elementary school. We're talking about all of that even more. On today's brand new Philip DeFranco Show, you daily dive into the news starting with this. You can just tell how much the tide has turned against Trump by just looking at the way that Joe Rogan's podcast has changed over the past two years. Because of course, at first, he was a key player helping Trump get elected. And then he became a mild critic over stuff like ice, Epstein and the Iran War. Then he'd have him in the Oval Office with that shitty Dengren, blame buddy buddy. But now he's even actually hosting whistleblowers from inside the administration. And in particular, you now have Trump world erupting over this episode he did with Callie Means, a top advisor to RFK Jr who resigned late last month. There is a very concentrated group of people in the Trump administration that are antagonistic to what people voted for and are frankly, I think it's very clear, doing things for other reasons, particularly in many cases to enrich their families. Right, he named names. Singling out Trump's former chief of staff, Susie Wiles, in particular, claiming among other things that her daughter has a lobbying firm that engages in regular garden variety corruption. If a company hired Susie's daughter, then that was getting a high priority. So if you're a special interest and you want to get something done, the secrets out, you pay Susie's daughter. And it was openly discussed that when they had a client. But then also it means when after a handful of other top aides like James Blair, Richard Walters and Trump's poster Tony Fabrizio, with emerging that all of them, in Wiles they've consulted for, lobbied for, fund raised for, so-called special interests like big pharma, pesticide, sugar, and soda companies. And so according to memes, whenever he and other Maha advocates pushed for our case policy agenda, they ended up getting blocked by this wall of what they referred to as corrupt staffers, standing between them and the president. They would often say that we can't do certain things, because that would hurt special interest configurations for the midterms. There was dozens of meetings and calls saying that taking junk food out of school lunches would hurt the companies that sell junk food. We did a 60 minutes, we got full White House approval, we went through the interagency process, and we were going to do a big initiative on basic food safety, asking whether the amount of sugar in a children's diet was appropriate. And that's where Susie told me we can't do that. I need the sugar and stream money. It's the end of that episode, you know, making this pretty big splash within Rogan's sphere of influence. But also means took his message mainstream as well, going on CBS's face to the nation. Tony Fabrizio is one of the most powerful people in the country. I'm just stating facts. I'm just stating theory that you're putting forth. Yeah, I'm just stating a fact that we were trying to get a 90% support policy done of defining ultra-process food, and he said the juice isn't worth the squeeze on this and advised against it while being paid by Pepsi. And so now we even have politicians on Capitol Hill paying attention on both sides of the aisle. Right, and so you have Democrat Robert Garcia, for example, the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee telling CNN that among all the other corruption that he plans to investigate, he's looking specifically at means of allegations. And then on Fox, you had Republican Senator Ron Johnson coming out swinging. I would suggest all of your listeners listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Callie Means. Callie lays out in goring detail the corruption, the bipartisan corruption within all branches of government. No one responds to all this uproar, though. The main people involved have put out very different statements. In our case, you're acknowledging some generic corruption without really addressing means of specific claims, writing. And trenched interests have exercised power in Washington under both parties for decades, and saying President Trump and I intend to keep fighting until the American people not corporate influence drive our health policies. Meanwhile, you know, spokesperson for Suzy Wilde telling Axios that means his accusations are outrageous, defamatory, and provenably false. You also had Tony Fabrizio adding allegations that I am in the pocket of Big Pharma are not only ridiculous, but demonstrably false. And then he would James Blair saying that he'd put means on notice that I'd consider suing him if he defamed me. But means he didn't back down instead warning them to immediately preserve all potentially relevant records and communications. Right as well as inviting them to file a lawsuit and open up discovery so that his claims could be proven. And you then had him continuing, Suzy, I'm not intimidated and you will not scare me. Again, please stop setting me emotional texts. This is not personal. This is civilizational. And then finishing to current and former leaders in the admin, it is time to speak out. Saying it is time to speak to the press about what you saw. And while it's too early right now to tell what kind of impact this rift's gonna have on Trump, the Republicans, and the general maggot coalition. The funny thing about all this is that the side attacking the administration is the same one defending Trump. Or because according to means Trump, he actually wanted to go hard on pesticides, vaccines, and sugar, but he got undermined from within. I don't think President Trump knows about most of this. This is how DC works. It is impossible to describe to you how demonic this culture is. Which I gotta say is just a very convenient defense for someone who is very clearly the most corrupt president in modern American history. He can just strap his net worth to a rocket. His family gains all these things. He can hire all these self enriching corporate lobbyists to all the top posts. And then he gets to just go, "Huh, what?" I don't know anything about what's happening. I'm just a baby. Who, me? I mean, he did the same thing on 60 minutes on Sunday when he was asked about his crypto ventures. He was just like, "I don't know, my kids are doing all of it." And so politically, no matter how much he betrays his base, no matter how much corruption he surrounds himself with, he can still pose as this innocent figure of purity at the center of it struggling against the forces of evil for some of these people. When President Trump heard about an issue, his inclination was right. And the people around him, I think, treat him horribly. They treat him like they talk about him like a baby. But also, maybe Trump is actually a baby. Because what you're seeing is that he's already back to whining and crying about his election denialism bullshit less than a week after saying he was absolutely willing to accept the outcome of the blue nuke midterm. Remember, basically, everyone was like, "What? Trump's all of a sudden, like he has this conciliatory tone. After months laying the groundwork to deny the results of the election." But still, of course, he had a lot of people wondering if the other shoe was going to eventually drop once the dust settled and Trump got a better picture of just how bad things really are. And what it seems that shoe is dropping. Because yesterday, you had Trump making a just classically unhinged truth social post where he wrote, "Does anybody really believe this election 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, saying it's all about the machine that you're far more important than the voter. Which was fun because you got like three different conspiracy theories all in one post. So first off, it's crazy that I have to say this, but as we've been repeating for two years, actually longer than two years, polls are just polls. How right or wrong they are is literally no bearing whatsoever on the actual outcome of the election. Maybe it could blow people into a sense of, do I even need to be a part of the election? Remember how insanely wrong so many of the polls were in 2016 when Trump won? It didn't seem to have a problem with them then. And also here that the polls weren't actually that wrong when you take a step back and look at everything altogether. But they showed a solid big blue wave. It's actually that they underestimated how massive that blue wave would be. And that's been a trend for months now. Even as Trump repeatedly claimed the polls were fake and that the real polls showed Republicans winning. And the regarding his claim that the early voting dumps were so large that it was impossible to win. There, I'm not sure if he's saying that the early votes were somehow rigged, but there's nothing unusual about the number of votes this year. In fact, a majority of Americans actually voted early, either in person or by mail in all four of the last elections. And in 2024, when Trump won the presidential election, nearly two thirds of all voters cast their ballots early. Well, we don't have the final breakdown yet for this year's elections, data from the University of Florida election lab shows that Republicans made up a third of all early voters in the 27 states that have party registration. And that then brings us to his final claim that the election is all about the machines, which he says are far more important than the voter. Which also, I feel like I have to mention, is just an absolute dictator thing to say. But of course, this is not the first time that he's whined about the voting machines. That was a big part of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and all of those claims were debunked. And again, there's absolutely zero evidence that there's any widespread issues with the machines. You had stuff like a technical issue in Westchester County, New York, where machines were rejecting paper ballots because of an update to the system. But even then, the air just calls the ballots to be rejected, not miscounted, and you had election officials quickly implementing established emergency protocols and ensuring that all those would be counted. And besides, that election officials have said voting went smoothly overall with very few major issues and no evidence of widespread fraud. But despite that, you had Trump doubling down again later in the day when a reporter asked him if he thought the midterms had been rigged. Well, I think the numbers were terrible in terms of those early votes. You look at all those early votes. And so then with that, a lot of people on the left just tearing into Trump saying, this is just the exact same bullshit he's done time and time again arguing that it's just totally predictable and the only surprising thing is that it took him this long to get there. So you then had some people saying, well, maybe he just needed time because the people in his administration maybe him and then it took him time to realize, oh, he's actually this bad. And actually, on that note, you have people like John Favreau of Crooked Media writing. There's our guy figured he would take a few days for the reality of the electoral annihilation to slip through Natalie's gatekeeping and reach Trump. But also a big thing is you had a number of people on the right actually joining in on the backlash. Are people like Megan Kelly, for example, taking a break from crying about Russell Brand to absolutely rip into Trump? How could the polls be so random? wrong. You are misled, sir. You are fed little gold nuggets by a bunch of sick of fans who work for you, like Natalie Parp, not to tell you the truth, but to make you feel good as you put your head against the pillow at night. That's your fault. Though Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are reporting that he was told at least the week before the vote what the polls were showing and he refused to believe it. He's the power of positive thinking guy. He refused to believe that it's real. And so now we've got to go back down this ridiculous lane of the election was dishonest. Just stop. Stop. We're not doing that. Nobody believes that. And that was actually also echoed by Marjorie Taylor Green who wrote this lengthy post on Twitter writing for anyone who believes his bullshit. Ask yourself has he ever prosecuted anyone from the 2020 election? No. With the same voting machines that he's complaining about today as he attempts to build the same narrative. Going on to add, the polls weren't really wrong. The polls his team showed him knew they were going to lose, but lied to him that it would be this bad. And claiming that Trump knows the big Democrat victory is 100% on him and that his denialism is another attempt to deflect any wrongdoing off of himself. But of course, that hasn't a turdrum. Because just this morning, he was back at it again. Claiming at the still uncalled Senate race in Alaska was rigged. Because as we've talked about, there's an independent long shot candidate in Alaska who has the same name as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. And you've had Republicans just losing their shit over this. Claiming that it was an effort by Democrat Mary Petola to siphon votes in the state's ranked choice election. And while both Petola and the second Dan Sullivan have denied the claims, even if the allegations were true, it's still not illegal to recruit another candidate. But still, even though he got his ass beat so badly all over the country, Trump's refused to let go of this whole two Dan Sullivan's thing. Reddling on and on about it repeatedly over the last few weeks is votes continue to roll in and Petola maintains are narrowly. And actually, over the weekend, he falsely claimed that Senator Sullivan had won the election, writing on truth social, claiming that both he and the fourth person on the rank choice ballot, another Republican, had been fraudulently put into the race. Now we're arguing that when you took the votes, those two other candidates received a nat of them to Senator Sullivan's vote totals. That would be enough to overcome Petola's current lead of just under 3000 votes. Writing the Alaska races over, Dan Sullivan won by a lot. And then you had Trump echoing that in his post today where he called the election rigged and then took it a step further, remaining that all the votes were to the other Republicans be allocated to Senator Sullivan. Now for one thing, that's just not a thing that's allowed under Alaska law. Or when candidates eliminated, each ballot moves to its next ranked candidate who's still in the race. Can't just allocate them because the president wants to. For another, only 76% of the votes have been counted, as of recording so Petola could still gain ground. But of course, Trump doesn't actually care, and it seems like he's gearing up for a legal battle to try and overturn the results of that election if this race does not go his way. And that's as there's another question out there of, is he going to try to do this anywhere else? Like for example, in Mississippi, where the Senate race is still officially uncalled. Then there's even more we got to dive into in just a minute after a quick break with our sponsor. I think a lot of career decisions happen almost by accident. You take the job, get the next promotion, say yes to the next opportunity, and suddenly, you're five years down a path you never really chose. And that doesn't mean you made bad decisions, it just means sometimes it's worth stopping to ask, is this still what I actually really want? And that's where today's sponsor, strawberry.me career coaching comes up. Strawberry.me matches you one-on-one with a vetted career coach who can help you look at where you are, where you want to go, and what you might need to change. Maybe you're considering a new role, switching industries, asking for more responsibility, or you just feel stuck. And instead of letting those thoughts bounce around for months, you've got someone helping you sort through them and make them actionable. And you can see that in their client reviews. People talk about getting clear on what they want and leaving with realistic next steps. Because a coach isn't there to decide for you. They help you ask better questions, challenge your assumptions, and to help you see your options more clearly. And so if something about your career still feels unresolved, it might be worth talking it through with someone. Say, "Scan the QR code, or go to strawberry.me/deferenko to get 50% off your first coaching session." At strawberry.me/deferenko, you're going to love it. Then, Devon right back into the news. We should talk about this bombshow report that seems to expose Nick Fuentes' secret involvement with a college-Republican coalition that is 31 affiliated student groups in 14 different states. And this could be potentially huge because one, while he's been outspoken about the Trump administration leading up to the midterms, he's largely known by many as a white supremacist who's called Hitler. Cool, instead of a million other incredibly disturbing things. Two, because, and this will sound confusing if you're not super-in-the-know, his influence on college-Republicans potentially reveals a lot about young men's shift to Democrats this election. And we'll unpack that in a minute. But first, as far as the specifics of this report, Fuentes' connection to the college coalition was discovered through an email link. Until, literally yesterday morning, Microsoft's public sign-in records put the college-Republican Patriot Coalition, CRPC's web domain, in an account registered to NJF LLC, which is a company managed by Fuentes. Last night, just hours after the Guardian sent questions to Fuentes in the coalition, the domain mysteriously disappeared from that account. And a Microsoft verification code had been deleted from its settings. Which is probably just a total coincidence. It has nothing to do with the fact that Fuentes is one of the most controversial people in the United States. While this is the first confirmed operational link between CRPC and Fuentes, the coalition has hinted it ties to the streamer before. Even at former Fuentes associate saying during a 2022 live stream, the coalition quote, "has to pretend like it has nothing to do with Nick Fuentes because Nick has made himself so radioactive to other people." And the student groups that are affiliated with CRPC, they've also had several Fuentes-esque controversies. Or with one of those controversies, for example, being the University of Florida's college-Republicans chapter, which is involved with CRPC, getting disbanded back in March, after there were photos and members appearing to flash Nazi salutes and posed with Fuentes and Myron Gaines, who is another deep of the misogynistic racist anti-Semitic asshole podcaster. And that punishment also came after they hosted Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, who referred to Byron Donalds, who's no Florida's governor-elect, as a slave. But with that, I'll note, the University of Florida eventually restored the chapter as a student organization. But this new public revelation about Fuentes' connection to CRPC, it seems to confirm that great prisoners are a significant presence in these alternative conservative college groups. And part of that's connected to him jumping off the Trump train a lot sooner than a lot of other people in his space. And he's also positioned as America First Movement as an alternative to Charlie Kirk's organization Turning Point USA, where which then brings to the question of how the hell could any of this coalition have any connection to the fact that young men voted blue in the midterms. And that brings us to Fuentes' recent evolution. Because a lot of the really troubling core stuff, it's there, but his messaging has changed a lot over the past few years. Because Fuentes is a former MAGA enthusiast, someone who even shared a meal with Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in 2022. But these days, he fucking hates Trump. He's a part of a group of far-right Republicans that have thrown away their MAGA hats so to speak, supposedly because of Trump's Israel policy in the war with Iran. And he've also seen that 180 untrumped of burying degrees from Candice Owens, Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and more of these characters. For some of them, you know, it may have more to do with the fact that Trump's just deeply unpopular now, and a number of these people have no actual values. They're just grifter is doing whatever they can to get the most views in cash. But Fuentes, I'll say in this Trump second term, he was kind of early compared to a number of the other people, but whatever his motivations may have been, Fuentes has been rooting for the blue wave. Leading up to the midterms, you had him tweeting things like, "Trump started a war with Iran that we are not only losing, but which also destroyed the economy." And the GOP controlled the House Senate, White House, and a 6-3 SCOTUS majority. But adding, then, they blew it all away by fighting Israel's war. They have nobody to blame, but themselves. And he even specifically instructed the groipers to vote for Democrats. But, and this is a key thing here. He stressed that this is about voting against the Trump administration and this group of Republicans. I did not instruct the groipers and encourage the groipers to stay home or vote Democrat because I think the Democrats are going to govern better or that they're fundamentally different than the Republicans or because I like them or agree with them. I believed we needed the Democrats in charge to help us, the nationalist America first wing of the party, defeat and dislodge the current leadership of the GOP. And I would say it's not as much that we voted for the Democrats. Of course, we're voting against the Republicans. And we're voting against the Republicans for one very simple, very obvious, very easy reason. And that is that the Republicans took us to war in Iran. And one of the key things is this is exactly the same rhetoric that you've been seeing from CRPC. The coalition we now know is connected to Fuentes. And the day after the election, they made this long statement blaming the blue wave on the Trump administration, saying that young voters had received a war on behalf of Israel, stunted deportations and a flailing economy, saying, "On all fronts, the Republican Party and the Trump administration in particular has betrayed us." With them then also calling on Trump to immediately end the war with Iran and make affordability for young Americans, this administration's top priority. And that statement was made up of half of these conservative groups all over the country. Another thing with this is, you know, this is just all part of a trend of Manosphere leaders and young men shifting away from MAGA. There's been a lot of discourse about how Trump won young men in 2024 because he validated their grievances and showed up on their favorite platform. In that election, you saw a young man favoring Trump over Harris 55 to 41%. Then last week, they switched up with 52% of white men under 30 and 76% of non-white men under 30 voting Democratic. And that was one of the biggest demographic swings that you saw. And while you have many celebrating that I do have to warn, you do not own them. You are retic them. And honestly, the only way you have a chance of keeping them is if you really focus on populist ideals. Are the two biggest questions with keeping this group and it's not just unique to them, but is especially pivotal. Is how much does shit cost and what have you done for me lately? And all of that is to warn that if Democrats do not do everything they can with the power that they've been given, even though they do not have the White House yet. If it goes back to business, usual, you will lose them. And what will replace MAGA will be something even further right. Because well, many Democrats, they may agree with things like, oh, yeah, we shouldn't be fighting Israel's war with Iran. And hey, yeah, shit's too expensive. We need more opportunities out there. Yeah, agree. A decent chunk of the people that are in this space, they dislike Trump because he is not right enough. And a lot of that pertains to who we are domestically as a country. But then, jump in from that, other news. We've got to talk about this New York City elementary school where a teacher's aide has just been charged with murder. And now you've got one of the big questions being, how is this guy allowed to work with kids? Because we're talking about Sayed Mahasub, who's a 20-70-year-old from Brooklyn, who's now been charged with the murder of Katie Suarez. In Katie, she was a 28-year-old from Brooklyn who was stabbed in the neck while jogging the belt Parkway Bike Path and up to over 30th and apparently ran to attack and she passed away several days later. Though it was then really the security footage that tied all of this together. Because the video reportedly shows Mahasub in the area that jogging path before Katie was stabbed and then running away from the crime scene after the fact. Then you another camera catching him dumping bags a garbage in his underwear about 15 minutes after he got home that night and then when he was arrested Mahasab's explanation was that he blacked out on the path and when he came to he was sitting on a park bench covered in blood and saying that he had blood on his hands and clothes when he got back to his apartment and some of it transferred there he had been insisting he did not stab anyone even when he admitted to bring a knife with him that night to the path saying that he believed he had to go or else people were going to come and kill his family and with this it is very important to note that this guy has a history of red flag we're back in 2022 he briefly served as a rookie cop in the NYPD before taking military leave to go to the Marines on November 28th that year but then by December 15th he was discharged from the Marines because quote the character of his service was incongruent with the Marine Corps's expectations and standards then you had the NYPD shooting him down when he tried coming back in 2023 with several supervisors saying they were concerned about his behavior and his disheveled appearance and he was even taken to the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital and then there's the 911 call from his mother and sister in September of 2024 where they said Mahasseb was threatening to chop them up according to too law enforcement sources for the New York Times and while his mom denied that saying that he never attacked her or a sister she did say Mahasseb has a history of being in and out of psychiatric hospitals with his longest day being two months but also before this guy was a cop or a Marine Mahasseb was a full-time school late in the New York City public school system he hired in 2019 before then leaving in 2022 for the police academy he went a lot of parents and local officials just absolutely floored to find out that despite all of the red flags after that he was actually hired back right at the time of the murder Mahasseb was actually working as a substitute paraprofessional in public school 200 in Brooklyn or which is usually someone who works one-on-one with students who have disabilities and in fact officials said that he continued to report to work with these kids even after allegedly killing Katie Suarez and it wasn't until he was charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence over the weekend that he was suspended and then yesterday was officially fired and so this whole situation had sparked waves of concern about the screening process for public school employees in the city and he would parents saying things like I think to myself just imagine what could have happened there with the children asking why was that person there why wasn't that person evaluated why were our children put in danger and with that you have the city council member representing the district the PS200 school is in saying if the NYPD deemed him unfit why would he then be deemed fit to serve in a classroom of children and adding that the department of education needs to quote take a hard look at how he was able to get through their screen and then you actually add mayors or mumbani taking this a step further by ordering that review personal saying his team they're going to be looking into how this man with such an extensive history of mental health issues was able to get this job and adding nothing is more paramount than the safety of our students and at that point you had Jennifer Weber and education policy fellow with the Manhattan Institute offering something of an explanation saying that well applicants they're subject to criminal record searches there is an assessment of psychiatric history and adding once you're kind of in the system they're not necessarily re-evaluating your role in the system or re-evaluating your records in the system it's whether or not that's right you know it's up for debate but you also had many people saying there's no doubt that this situation was a systemic failure and while the department of education spokesperson declined to answer any questions about mahasib's hiring specifically she did say the DOE is looking into ways to improve their background checks and adding we are conducting a review to explore any areas where this can be strengthened and insured no stone is left unturned when it comes to student safety which somehow both sounds like an actual plan but also like a bunch of words that doesn't mean anything but hey for now mahasib he's pleaded not guilty to all the charges so he's still in custody so we're gonna have to see on both fronts how this shakes out whether it be the murder case as well as the DOE review and then there's a few more things we got to dive into in just a minute after a quick break with one of our sponsors you know holiday maths while one gift becomes five one grocery run becomes three and somehow gas turns into its own event so if i'm spending the money

about how David Allison blindsided James gun when he fired him from DC studio that's what you have the Hollywood reporter now claiming that both gun and his co-CEO Peter Safran they were feeling secure in their roles that they'd been assured that they'd be safe under the new skydance merger especially because DC's most recent movie clay face who's seen as this success they get over a hundred million dollars on a forty four million dollar budget they'd even reportedly wanted to do more slim down DC movies now boom they get told there's been a change of plans and their replacement it's Jeremy Latchev of former MCU producer who is once described as the right hand man of Kevin Feige he's got credits on Iron Man the Avengers Guardians of the Galaxy but he eventually left to go focus on more faith-based movies you've got some sources now saying if gun was the guy to deliver f-bombs and lesser-known characters Latchev is the guy to deliver what's more in line with Ellison's broader tastes so that said gun and saffron are still going to be involved on projects that they were already working on and so they'll be producers on the Batman part two as well as the people versus guerrilla grot and the Superman sequel man and tomorrow that's already in post-production and actually publicly you have gun claiming that he is relieved to fully go back to the creative side instead of also having to manage the business side and then also in the news you've got anthropic right the company behind Claw they're now officially eyeing an initial public offering that values them at upwards of 1.3 trillion dollars and it would instantly make them one of the most valuable companies in the world or it's worth more than meta was just a few years ago and what's wild is that 1.3 trillion is actually their discount rate are you've got reports indicating that leadership and bankers were floating up to a two trillion dollar valuation if it wasn't for the recent tech market jitter is following the midterms and widespread rebuke of AI by voters and so with this you're seeing more and more people on Wall Street saying hey there's writing on the wall pump the brakes right and that's in part because when you crack open the filing you have a lot of people saying the math is entering clown world territory right noting that AI it's bringing in revenue that's worth in the billions of dollars but that's revenue not profit running out that their compute bills and their infrastructure commandments they're so astronomically high that they are hemorrhaging money and that's just to keep the current models running and so a lot of people see this is kind of the ultimate gamble for investors you hand over just crazy amounts of money on the momentum and the hype without any long-term proven economics as you've got anthropic which is going to be listed under the ticker and being seen by many as the ultimate stress test for the entire AI market right now and whether it goes boom or bust we'll see both in the short and long term and then finally today you would pete hag said again a bright and early trying to save his ass or with him doing this press briefing where he addressed the impeachment threat that's hanging over his head and there while you've many people on board you've got Thomas Massey leading the chart and so that is exactly who we aim for when he got behind the mic what one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability it's a political spectacle a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment time for one man's final days in congress to try to do damage to this president this country and most irresponsibly the warriors who defended right and updated impeachment articles Massey's accused headset of abusing his office by starting the Iran war without congressional approval ignoring laws meant to minimize civilian casualties and then there are other allegations that he's been pressing about but headset today said hey it's all a force in claiming that this push to impeach him it's actually just the first step leading to actions against service members or like the ones involved in the strikes on the alleged drug trafficking boats but headset claims that none of the actions he or the soldiers have taken since this war started are high crimes or misdemeanors so we try to say that this is just stemming from partisan policy disagreements around people who want to politicize their military and with that he tried to compare all this to Trump's two impeachment saying that since they couldn't finish the job with him the first two times they're trying for a third time with one of his cabinet members with headset sucking up saying if standing with president Trump puts me in that company I'll take that company every day of the week and once he got done with this circus and Olympic level bootlicking he just went on to talk about what they've done so far in the war downplaying the impeachment resolution again and talking about a ton of support he's had on Capitol Hill claiming the Republicans they don't want to vote for something that isn't real and then after it was over dog he got a treat or with Trump given him a pat on the back saying he gets an A plus plus or his defense against disgruntled angry defeated former congressman Thomas Massey a total loser and he also told reporters yesterday that he would stand with Hegseth even if he's in peach but also no matter how many gold stars or belly rubs that he gets from Trump Hegseth he's still going to have to deal with congress when they take up the resolution later today but hey we'll see what happens because even if they don't get it now because Massey will need at least three other Republicans to join him the Democrats they're taking over that place in January so one way or another we're going down a road that said then convicting him in the Senate that's a whole other battle and one that might be DOA if the Republicans are still all in on Trump but that my friends you beautiful bastards is the end of your Tuesday show thank you for watching like and subscribe and sharing these daily
