Two days after the polls closed, the blue wave is an over. It's actually still rapidly growing. And the Republican Party is crumbling in real time. There's so much to get to today.

We're going to have Jamie Rask in this afternoon tell you about what the judiciary is going to do to investigate the Trump family and those around the White House. So if you can't subscribe, like, comment, share. And let's let's begin with what is happening right now in Washington, D.C. Because Republicans say that the dam is breaking. Right now, Republicans are planning to join Democrats to impeach Pete Hexeth, the Secretary of Defense. At the same time, Vice President Vance has openly broken from the president of the United States. According to new reporting from Fox News, there was a meeting yesterday at the White House with the goal of aligning J.D. Vance with the administration on post midterm messaging. But after the huddle, Vice President Vance sent out the Twitter post breaking with Donald Trump on the war in Iran and foreign policy generally. So what Vance is doing now is trying to seek a new alliance with disavected Trump voters after the crushing midterm losses. He wants to message to the quote, new right, which includes changing the nature of America's relationship with Israel. On the congressional front, meanwhile, the impeachment of Pete Hexeth is full steam ahead right now. Congressman Thomas Massey has introduced a resolution that will get a vote as soon as next week to impeach Pete Hexeth in the United States House of Representatives. The lawful conduct of United States military operations, the integrity and credibility of the United States Armed Forces and the Constitution, if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law. Peter Brian Hexeth, thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States. I yield back. I yield back. Right now, based on the folks I've spoken to on Capitol Hill inside Congress, we are expecting a large break within the Republican Party to vote to impeach Pete Hexeth. Even just four or five votes will be more than enough, but it could very well be more. It could very well be more because right now, based on what I understand, Republicans are tired of staying silent and behind the scenes and they're willing to make that known with their vote next week and it's not just the Hexeth impeachment. It's also the Epstein-Files Transparency Act 2.0. When they get back into session next week, there will be 218 signatures on the Epstein-Files Transparency Act 2.0, guaranteeing a vote on the legislation. It'll allow survivors to go after various attorneys general across the country, including the United States Attorney General Todd Blanche. It'll allow state and local officials to go after Todd Blanche as well for the failure to release various files and it'll set the stage for mounting investigations that Democrats expect to bring when they take over in January. Now, Democrats are taking over by the way. The question now is only by how large and I want to run through some of the races that are still on call starting with Mississippi. Democrats Scott Cologne is now leading Cindy Heitzmith by several hundred votes, actually more, several thousand votes, about 1100 votes based on the current tally. Democrats haven't won a Senate seat in Mississippi since 1982. Trump carried the state by 22 points. If Scott Cologne wins, he'll be the first black senator elected from Mississippi since 1875 and his story is remarkable. The seventh generation of Mississippi, and we interviewed him on the show. His father was a Republican who campaigned for Ronald Reagan. In 2015, he became the first black district attorney for Mississippi's 16th Circuit, unseating an incumbent who held the job for nearly 30 years. Mississippi currently has no recount law and so there's going to be a major legal battle. The key date here is November 10th and just five days. That is when the ballots will officially everything will be certified, all the provisional ballots, all the absentee ballots, any errors, everything will be done within five days. We will probably know the result of this race before November 10th and if I was a betting man, I would bet hard on Scott Cologne winning this race and flipping Mississippi blue. I also spoke with Kirsten Gillibran yesterday who helped recruit Scott Cologne into this race and she seemed very confident on our call. And then there's Alaska. In Alaska, Mary Peltola still leads Dan Sullivan by about 600 votes. A little more than three quarters of the vote tally has been counted. Mail ballots from remote parts of Alaska can take up to 15 days after Election Day to come in because I mean you're talking about a state that doesn't have much many roads that lead to like for example fair banks. It takes or even higher up in Alaska closer to the North Pole takes a long time to count votes in the state and also the state has what is called ranked choice voting. So if no one gets 50% of the vote and right now it looks increasingly likely that no one will get 50% of the vote. They go to rank choice which can take a while. In other races, we have Kansas and Colorado. In Kansas right now, Democrat Cindy Holscher is 99.9% sure going to be the governor of Kansas defeating Republican Thai Masterson. Right now she leads by more than 7,000 votes with 99% counted. That's a race that if it isn't called already by many folks will be called probably by end of day tomorrow. And then the one that I'm watching very closely, we have Colorado and Lauren Bobert, one of Donald Trump's loudest allies in the House of Representatives. She's trailing Eileen Lawbacher by more than 2,000 votes. A 19 point swing since 2024. There are still many votes to be counted there that could potentially tilt this back into Bobert's flavor. But remember, this is a district that Bobert literally moved into to run because it was more favorable than her prior district. And well, she's about to lose it. So we'll have to see what happens there. Now on the Republican front, this right here is every tweet that Laura Loomer has put out in the past 24 hours. Probably there probably even more now. Over a hundred and thirty. This is kind of the perception right now among Republicans. They're just freaking out about what the future holds. And what the future could hold is the fact that we're not going to have as much immigration surging in the United States of America. And if you want to know why, it could very well be because of Melania Trump. According to Lost Journal, Melania Trump privately has been complaining to Trump and his advisors because she knows people who are now getting deported. And so Donald Trump told AIDS that Stephen Miller has now gone too far with the deportation effort. That is real. It took and it wasn't until that it was impacting the Trump family that they realized, hey, maybe this is going too far. But remember, it remains to be seen whether that's the case. And also just moments to go wrestle brand has been convicted of rape in a London courtroom and face a significant prison time. So that's the news right now. We'll have plenty of updates throughout the day. Make sure to subscribe, support this work, like, comment, share, and I'll see you soon.
