Trump Just Took His FIRST MIDTERM LOSS…

So folks, the midterm elections haven't even happened yet, and Donald Trump is already losing. It's a beautiful thing, a wonderful sight for our democracy, and I want to break it down for you right now. So earlier today, Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene in its California ballot case. What Trump was asking was for the Supreme Court to require California to separate 20,000 votes, apparently belonging to alleged non-citizens, according to the Trump administration, from the rest of the votes that are going to be counted tomorrow for the midterm elections. Now, that is obviously insane, because they're just taking these 20,000 votes, saying they're non-citizens, without actually providing any evidence. The courts had already rejected this claim. Lower courts had already rejected it. Legal experts were saying that it was insane, and yet Donald Trump went to the Supreme Court and said, hey, I need you to require California to separate these 20,000 votes from the rest of the votes, trying to disenfranchise 20,000 people who were trying to make their voices heard. That's what Trump did today at the Supreme Court. And then just hours later, it completely backfired. He got smacked down and embarrassed by the Supreme Court that he's appointed three justices on, and they said that they, or they denied, I should say, the Trump administration's emergency request to force California to set aside mail-in ballots from roughly 20,000 suspected non-citizens until their citizenship could be verified one day before the midterm election. So he's already trying to meddle in these elections, trying to file baseless lawsuits to make it harder for you, me, and everybody to vote, make it harder for our votes to be counted. I mean, this is insane. This is one of the most anti-democracy things that Donald Trump has done, and that's saying a lot because there's a very, very long list of things that he has done. And MAGA fans are not taking it very well. Nobody in the MAGAverse or the Trump administration is very happy about this. So, for example, Eric Daugherty, who is essentially a mouthpiece for Donald Trump and his administration online, said, quote, The Supreme Court just rejected the Trump administration's emergency request to make California set aside these 20,000 votes, unreal. That means those ballots get mixed in with everybody else's on election day. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of how elections work. You don't just get to pick 20,000 random votes or votes that you think aren't belonging to citizens and just put them aside for no reason and having no evidence to do it. John Sawyer warned the justices, quote, Once California commingles the challenge ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenge ballots back. A district judge, a split Ninth Circuit, Judge Boasberg, and now SCOTUS have all refused to act, absolutely outrageous. If even a fraction, of those voters turned out to be non-citizens, nobody will be able to pull those votes back, get out and vote tomorrow. They're very upset about this. They're very upset that Donald Trump could not disenfranchise 20,000 people who are trying to make their voices heard. Again, with no evidence. Notice how he doesn't cite any evidence for these 20,000 mail-in ballots being, you know, non-citizen votes. It's just so ridiculous. They're just so eager to make sure that people can't vote in states that they don't like. But to give you some context, this actually started back in mid-October, in the lead up to the midterm elections. Donald Trump and his DOJ gave California 48 hours to act on this alleged non-citizen voter scheme that they were putting together. They just gave them a USB and said, "You got to do something about this. If you don't, we're going to prosecute you." The US Department of Justice threatened legal action on Tuesday, again, this was back in mid-October, if California fails to take action on what it claims are thousands of non-citizens on the state's voter rolls. In letters sent to Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Los Angeles County Register Dean Logan, acting US Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter gave the state 48 hours, noon Eastern time on October 15th, to act on a list of potentially ineligible voters stored on a password-protected thumb drive. Which is really just kind of crazy stuff. Donald Trump, at around this time as well, saying they will all go to jail for a long period of time, citing a journalist saying, "In a new letter to LA County, the DOJ warns that if the county allows ballot processors to tabulate the votes of alleged non-citizens, they are opening themselves to federal criminal prosecution." Yet again, just as a reminder, no evidence. There's no evidence that California is interested in processing or counting ballots from people who can't vote. There's zero evidence, they provided the court zero evidence as well, and yet Donald Trump is threatening them with criminal prosecution. You know, legal experts reacting to this saying that there is no precedent for this. This is so stupid and dumb, and there really is no evidence to back any of this up. At the time, there was no evidence to back any of this up. So, there was no evidence to back any of this up. There was no evidence to back any of this up. At the time, Gavin Newsom actually addressed what Donald Trump was trying to do with these ballots and his whole, you know, election scheme of, "Let's separate these and keep these," and this is what he had to say. Trump is ruthless. I'm sorry. We need to be a little more ruthless. This holiday, all plans, even unlimited, are just $15 a month. A holiday deal this good obviously deserves an enormously expensive holiday song, like "All I Want". Right. Okay, we can't afford that. You know what? Forget the music budget. We're going to 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 when network is busy. See terms. We've got to. This is it. And if you think I'm exaggerating, I woke up this morning a little blurry. I got in late last night, three hours earlier than, you know, 4:00 a.m. back in my hometown. And I read that Donald Trump wants to once again arrest me. He's on a true social. He's not screwing around. He's suing us on our voting rolls. He's trying to quite literally rig the election again today in the state of California. He's trying to get our voting rolls. You can't make this stuff up. Well said by the governor. And yeah, they are trying to get the voter rolls. They're giving them this list of voters that they say are ineligible. As you can probably expect, the list turned out to be complete BS, complete BS. I feel like I didn't even need to address that and say that you probably could have guessed that from the beginning. But yes, the list became came out to be completely bull crap. Quote, high percentage of DOJ's California non-citizen voters list born in the United States, which makes them citizens. I don't know if Donald Trump and his Department of Justice are familiar with this thing. It's a big, nice, long document we have called the Constitution of the United States kind of outlines this stuff. It says there that if you're born in the United States of America, 14th Amendment, if you're born here in the United States of America, you are a citizen. But I guess Donald Trump doesn't know that. Of the 200 individuals in the sample, 40% say they were born in the United States of America. Also, what was also discovered on the list is that many of the names the DOJ put on this alleged list that California had to immediately act on, a lot of those people aren't registered to vote in California. They're not even on the voter rolls. The research found that 8,000. 880 of the names representing 42% of the entire list do not correspond to anyone in California's current voter file. It also found at least 22 are U.S. citizens and many more may correspond to those of confirmed citizens. Nice one, Donald. Nice one. And in this case, a judge actually, of course, declined to force California to segregate these votes and separate them from the rest of the voters. But in this court, or in this case, I should say, judges also noted, quote, in Nevada, DHS. DHS, the federal government who's also trying to push this, initially identified up to 15,903 registered voters as non-citizens based on high-confidence matches. Wow, isn't that something? But then they later reduced that number to 6,218 and then to 185 after conducting its manual review. Nevada officials later confirmed that all 185 individuals were citizens. So they went from 15,903 alleged non-citizen voters on the voter rolls in Nevada. Nevada to zero. And they said with high confidence, high confidence. So there's no reason why anybody should believe what the Trump administration was dishing out here with this voter scheme targeting California. And then, of course, after all of this, the Supreme Court of the United States of America rejected Donald Trump's push to separate these California ballots. And here's another layer to the story, which is actually insane. Donald Trump, on October 31st, 2026, talking about this case and others, saying, So, in Los Angeles, our acting U.S. attorney for the Central. So, in Los Angeles, our acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California and various other titles which were forced upon us by the ridiculous blue slip scam where nobody can get confirmed without the Democrats' approval, which is impossible. Bill Esai has done a fantastic job. He is one of the best ever. He caught a massive number of illegal votes, 20,000, but potentially hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions, and the court has just ruled against it. Why would they reject fixing election fraud? That's like in the 2020 rigged and stolen election when we had a great case, but the Supreme Court would not hear it because they said, I, the President of the United States, had no standing. No, the reason they said you had no standing. No, the reason they said you had no standing is because you had no evidence, so if you don't have evidence of something that you're claiming, you don't have standing to bring the case, but of course, Donald Trump will never tell you that, but the interesting thing about this prosecutor that Donald Trump is citing, saying that he discovered all of this fraud, is that he was actually ruled to be unlawfully serving as the de facto U.S. attorney in California, so he's not even in the position legally, and Donald Trump expects us to believe him and his administration saying, no, no, no, they found all of this fraud. You got to believe the guy who's not even in this role legally. He's also the same guy that has gone on TV, specifically Chris Cuomo's show on NewsNation, and tried to push election fraud lies, and then got embarrassed live on air. Just watch this. It tells you everything you need to know about this guy. You say we have big questions about potential fraud in California. We do have big questions about fraud in California. Let's just deal with the facts for a second. We do have election fraud. We charged a case just last month. I'm not sure if you covered it. But there was an individual who was caught on video paying homeless people in Skid Row. to register to vote with false information. That's not a theory. That's not a suspicion. That is a case that we filed, and she has pled guilty to that. So that's a conviction. So we have multiple cases in that vein open on election fraud. Now, the question that, you know, you ask in many is, is it widespread? How much is it? Is it enough to sway an election? Well, the answer is we don't know. No, you can't say no. You haven't done an investigation. You don't know. No, you don't. Oh, you don't know because we have not been able to. We want to get the voter rolls. You haven't. Oh, we're doing the investigation. You are just weird. Ah, that's different. So then you do. You have not conducted an investigation. You are conducting one. So you don't know. And you are in the business of knowing right now. You don't. You are pointing to one case. And you know what? You could point to a dozen. Do you know why? Because those are all the cases you've made in the last decade. A dozen individual cases. I did not say half were found to be lacking. I did not say that we have found wide-scale fraud. There's two different things going on here. That's what you're suggesting. You're saying for sure you know. Hold on a second. You're saying for sure you know there isn't. I'm saying we don't know because we haven't been able to look at all the evidence at scale. Yeah, but no, no, no. Why is that? Let's talk about the voting system in California. Mr. Asseli, Mr. Asseli, if you were in a court of law right now, and I don't need you on the system because you're not a voting system expert. You're a prosecutor. That's why I have you here. You're in a court of law. You said judge. I was in the legislature. I was in the legislature on the election committee. I know a little bit about California's voting system. Yes. So wait a minute. You want me to take somebody's experience in a state legislature for how long? I was there. I was in the legislature for three years. I've been involved in election integrity long before that as an attorney. And we could talk about. I've covered elections for 30 years, Mr. Asseli. 30. Wow. How utterly embarrassing for Asseli. That prosecutor who's not even there legally in that position. Donald Trump has also been asked about voter fraud in California. The fraud that he alleges is widespread and enough to overturn elections. And every time he's asked about it, he just starts, you know, screaming at the reporters. In the back. We're opening it very soon. Why are you telling your supporters to vote by mail if you think it's fraud? No vote by mail or vote in person. I'd rather have a vote in person. But they can vote by mail if they want because we seem to have no choice because a lot of people want to vote by mail. But a lot of very good people also want to vote in person. You can do either. What we're concerned about is there seems to be a lot of, not seems to be, there is a lot of cheating in vote by mail. A lot of cheating all over. I'll tell you what. Start off by taking a look at California. Take a look at, take a look at, no evidence? No. Millions and millions of ballots. You are fake news. It's just so funny how the Republicans, anytime they get debunked or anytime they get asked for evidence of something and they get challenged on their ideas, they just go, oh, you're fake news. Like they're so childish and disingenuous. You know what I mean? Just you're fake news. There's no, there's no rebuttal. There's no providing of actual evidence because there is none. They just, you know, snap at the reporters and attack them and, you know, get them threatened and stuff like that. Trump is also dumb enough to think that he could win California. He said previously, if we had an honest election, I would have won California, which is like, you have to be a different type of delusional to believe that. He's also, as part of this whole election thing he's doing, offering people a million dollars and a bonus or a reward if they report somebody who's committed voter fraud and that person is arrested and prosecuted, which it just sounds like to me, Donald Trump is using this as another way to funnel money to his buddies. That's my guess. But, you know, it's just really stupid. All of this is very stupid. And even the Supreme Court is saying, yeah, it's pretty stupid. You can't do this. So anyway, a major loss for Donald Trump already and the midterm elections haven't even happened. You'll have to see it. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below.
