I think we need a big change in kind of the conservative media culture because a lot of that is a grift and it's pay to play and it's just not offering very much in the way of strong ideas.

All right, guys, that is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis admitting that Donald Trump's Republican Party, his entire MAGA movement, is one giant grift.

And it comes at the same time as a new story breaking down how Laura Loomer, one of the biggest voices in Trump's MAGA media machine, has been selling off her tweets to candidates, to corporations, probably to foreign governments, too.

And it is a reminder that this is a movement that has no ideas.

They are just stealing from the American people.

Hell, they're stealing from each other, we're starting to learn.

There is a huge MAGA civil war playing out after Tuesday's elections.

do

it.

I mean, I have a two-pronged approach to this, and I maybe had a third prong based on what you just said.

But the two-pronged approach is like, first thing is we're going to put, this is what I would do if I was the majority leader, put together a series of single-issue bills that are very easy to explain to people what they do and how they help you.

First one I would do would be restoring the health care subsidies and lowering people's health premiums.

That was a huge cell phone from the Republican Party.

That was too, yep.

What about Chuck Schumer?

I got something to say.

All right, guys, that is a video that was allegedly posted on Donald Trump's true social overnight.

The man has absolutely lost his mind.

He has been broken by these midterms and he is throwing a tantrum on the internet.

And the other thing that he is doing is thinking about firing every member of his administration and starting from scratch.

We already saw that yesterday because he's led Susie Wiles as chief of staff go.

Now he's replaced him with Stephen Miller.

I mean, maybe somebody sent something, but I know nothing about it.

What actually works is going up against the billionaires.

So I want to note a couple of things.

One, in the exit polls on Tuesday, they were above water on immigration.

Now, if you break that out into the border versus their immigration agenda going after immigrant communities, the ICE part very unpopular, the border part very popular.

We should continue to campaign in keeping the borders secure and not allow them to take that away from us because it makes us look crazy.

Here's the other thing.

You want to talk about the border for a second? Every single house district along the border with Mexico and Texas belongs to the Democratic Party.

That's the petty I

But I

also want to know things like Barron Trump's relationship to Andrew and Tristan Tate.

and i want to know about tom homan's 50 000 cash drive and i want to know about alina haba getting a getting a pardon for a billionaire and then going to take a 50 million dollar legal contract job for a company that doesn't exist i want to know about all of it and for democrats then i'll hand it back to you jackie is like You need to frame every investigation that we're launching as an affordability issue.

Because the reason our government is broken, the reason that gas prices are so high, energy prices are so high, you can't afford to buy a house, your life is worse than it was before, is fundamentally tied to the corruption in Washington, which is tied to how broken our government system is.

Past sweeping ethics reform.

Get rid of insider trading in Congress.

Stop the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms, okay? We'll name it after Haley Stevens, by the way, because she'll be a lobbyist the first day she's out of office.

Mike, your thoughts.

If there is a material impact, Mike, that is very difficult to prove, and so far, nobody has gotten anywhere close to it.

Well, we haven't started yet, but that Fox News poll last week showed that corruption is the number one issue in America, and I think that's because people understand that everything trickles down from there, right? The system is fundamentally broken.

You hit the nail on the head there.

There is a group of very powerful, well-connected, wealthy individuals that win no matter who is in power, Democrat or Republican.

I think breaking that class is incredibly important.

Redoing our campaign finance laws so that we actually have some that are enforceable that prevent, you know, what happened with Elon Musk, who spent

Why focus on that when you yourself just said you can break the back of the cabal that gets richer no matter who is in power?

There is way too much money in our politics right now, and that includes the Democratic Party side, okay? There were billionaires falling over themselves to donate to the Democratic Party towards the end of this election, probably getting favors, too, because they knew that we were gonna win.

All

right, guys, that is the president of the United States defending Pete Hegseth earlier today because there are reports that he might be on his way out.

And I've been talking about this on my channel for a while.

I think Hegseth is not long for this world.

He is going to be the scapegoat for why the Republicans lost the midterms relative to this war in Iran.

But it might not be Donald Trump who's the one who finally makes the decision to remove him because Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who hates Donald Trump and hates Pete Hegseth with a fiery burning passion, hates this war in Iran, is filing articles of impeachment to remove Pete Hegseth.

He has basically the entire Democratic Party lined up and more than a few Republicans.

aren't.

Exactly, right.

I mean, even me, if you polled me right now, I'd tell you I don't approve of the Democratic Party.

But we have a series of candidates that I think have been extraordinary in their quality, and they've been discounted a lot by the Republicans and by the media.

And I think of Annie Andrews, who's an amazing candidate, but I think about Josh Turek, and we'll know more about Iowa soon.

And I just think that there's been a misunderstanding of how well Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party has done in candidate recruitment and how poor Republicans have done.

That's a one-two punch, plus the economy, plus the war, plus Trump's approval.

How do they do that, Mike?

aren't.

Exactly, right.

How do they do that, Mike?

So he is already making the case of why he should be president, why J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio have no place leading the Republican Party going forward, and why everybody in Washington, D.C. also should not have a shot at the republican nomination in 2028 so everyone is already starting to get their shots in mike has been covering ted cruz doing that as well i'm seeing some pushback saying that the xanthus is not a good politician he is a smart operator he is that is just true desantis is a smart operator he did a lot of party building in florida and yes a lot of that was voter suppression trying to kick people off the voter voter rolls uh attacks on you know the ability for black people in florida to vote but this guy knows what he's doing and it's why he's pushing this narrative ron desantis was pushing this narrative before ballots were even counted like he was on top of it which just goes to show how ready republicans are to fight with each other and i i will i'll also say well mike you take it and then i got another thought on this

I mean, I get what you're saying, and I disagree is what I would say.

I think DeSantis is a second-rate politician who was a backbencher in Congress with no real career that Donald Trump plucked and installed in Florida, and much of his success could be attributed to the political operation that exists in Florida that exists without him.

And they've done very well with that.

And I think just in the same way that the demographic changes in Texas are very much a big part of the reason that Tallarico and Hinojosa were able to capture the moment, the demographic shifts in Florida are the big part of the reason that they were able to withstand the wave election.

Here, it's why Jolly fell a little short.

It's why Angie Nixon fell a little bit more short, but still short.

And so do not listen to the former Republicans who honestly just want themselves a Republican Party back or want civility or want the bullshit.

So how does the Democratic Party use this, Mike, not just for 2028, but over the next year as they control Congress?

Yeah, I think Democrats have to get to work really quickly.

And I sort of pitched a two-prong approach here, which is, one, start with single-issue bills that are easy to explain, that are going to make a direct, immediate material impact on people's lives.

Raising the minimum wage is a great idea.

So is bringing back the healthcare subsidies that the Republicans let expire at the beginning of this year.

You'll make such an immediate impact on alleviating so many concerns for Americans like that.

And some of those bills... will also be vetoed by Donald Trump.

Just called.

rarely done because the span is so long that it's very hard to do structurally we ordered the marble for the floor the marble is a really magnificent marble it's a cut it's a vein that people have been after for 50 years and the owner of the quarry didn't want to sell it

All right, guys, that is the president of the United States earlier today.

He's supposed to be talking about how he's going to lead his party through this midterm disaster where his party got absolutely destroyed by the Democrats this week.

And instead, he's rambling like a lunatic about the marble floors for his ballroom or something.

It is just absolutely bizarre.

And we know that this man's mental health is suffering.

We know that his physical health is suffering.

and that people's lives suck right now.

Mike, how are you feeling personally? And then we'll get to your party.

I'm tired and sleepy, but I'm pretty happy.

And it would be hard not to be.

I mean, I think other than Florida, what do you have to be unhappy about? We didn't win in West Virginia.

I'm so sorry Joe Manchin didn't run, I guess.

It's great.

And I think to piggyback off off Texas.

But, but again, just as a matter of logic, Mike, either this is in fact what it's being called an attempt to distance, or we take them at their word where both men say they agree with each other, which is it.

W's in the shat.

It's also reflective of how weak he is right now.

Trump is officially a lame duck president.

He has less support and influence in America's government than ever before.

And he is looking down the barrel of the Democrats not only having the House investigatory responsibilities and powers, but the 10, 20 times version of that in the Senate.

The Senate gavel is so high.

Fucking powerful.

Mike, do you agree with that kind of analysis?

And J.D. Vance just got i think humiliated in a way that no one else ever even has come close to online by zora mamdani we got a lot of beautiful news today mike how are you feeling about these midterms before we get to the trump news

yeah i mean i i i'm i'm nauseously optimistic is the term that i've adopted here and before i tell you why make sure that you're subscribed to both my channel and jack's down below be sure to engage with the episode like share comment hype the more you do that the more we both get to build independent media companies that can take on Donald Trump and his magnet movement.

Also make sure you support us with a paid membership.

If you can, that way we can stay independent and we don't have to take money from evil people that want to give us money for ads.

Um, look, I think the, the, the, the, the toll comes due today, you know, like that, like they are, they have destroyed the global economy.

They have made everything more expensive.

They have stolen billions of dollars and they've been very, very unpleasant and arrogant throughout all of it.

So Mike, final word.

Right.

Yeah, I mean, look, I think the corporate media is letting us down right now.

And I got into it with Leland Vittert on News Nation, who's my friend.

And I love Leland.

And I think he's been more fair than some of the other more conservative guys out there.

But they're playing into the Republican Party's hands right now.

I mean, every attack on Abdul El-Sayed is thinly veiled Islamophobia.

Yeah.

Where do you think Don Jr. should rank?

yeah i mean i think he's probably in the top five for sure and before we get started make sure that you're subscribed both my channel and jack's down below be sure to engage with this episode like share comment hype it all makes a huge difference more you do that more and more people see us you get to see us in your feed and a reminder we get to do this because of you guys and we get to be unbought non-bossed and we don't have to take money from shitty human beings to tell us what to say like a lot of other people do you know who i'm talking about so Here's where I'm at.

I would start with Pete Hegseth, because I just think you pick the easiest, lowest hanging fruit and you impeach the shit out of that guy.

And then if I have to say two, it's Jared Kushner, all right? And I could probably rank you all the way down to 20 right now.

But Trump, excuse me, Hegseth and Kushner are the two that I go after immediately.

Their crimes are brazen and the American people hate them.

I think Don Jr. is in the mix when you start getting down to three.

It's okay.

And we're all in this together.

Yeah, I would encourage everybody to support independent media, either the two of us or somebody else, because we've been the ones that I think have been on top of really leading the way and getting the Democratic Party back on path here.

And tomorrow we get to see the fruits of that.

And I'm pretty damn excited about it.

And, you know, you mentioned some of the bigger names, you know, but I'm going to shout out like Josh Turek for a second and just like a generational leader.

And if you've seen that video of him dragging his wheelchair up the steps to go knock on doors for people in Iowa right now, How do you not root for a guy like that? A guy like that is going to come up with ideas that make a material impact in improving your life.

Meanwhile, these clowns that the Republicans are running right now, whether it's Vivek Ramaswamy or Ken Paxton or Ashley Hinson or any of them, they're not going to do anything to help improve your life.

I'm a

Well, you got to get tougher, Paul.

All right, guys, that is the president of the United States, or at least what is left of the president of the United States, who has been getting weirdly sexual in all of his speeches.

This was from just a few hours ago, where he was once again talking about another politician's ass.

It's all very, very weird.

But the president's family is coming forward, his niece, Mary Trump, to talk about how they have long known that this man is suffering from deep cognitive decline that is somehow making him more sexual than ever before.

It's all incredibly weird stuff.

And I want to dive into this because I think we have to understand, two days before the election, that the president of the United States is not right in the head.

I think he's jealous of my weight loss.

Talk to us about this Pritzker

event.

So all the committee people, and for those that don't know, I'm the committeeman for War 32, which is like Roscoe Village, Bucktown, a little bit of Southport, stuff like that.

We had a Unity event yesterday, just recently.

Pure happenstance.

We just happened to have a unity event prepared two days before an election on a day when the entire Democratic Party melted down over the most disloyal act we've ever, we may have seen in a very long time from our friends in Michigan.

And I was lucky enough to be the one to get to introduce our next lieutenant governor, Christian Mitchell, and our governor, J.B. Pritzker.

Does that make any sense?

So it's not that, this is insane, Mike, I'll let you cook.

Yeah, well, one, make sure you support independent media, okay? Because I think, Jack, you're right.

Like, this is all fabricated.

And so subscribe to both Jack and I down below.

Make sure that you engage with this video.

Become a paid subscriber if you can't support us because this is just ridiculous.

And I got a ton of things to say about Haley Stevens right now.

If you are a pissed off Zionist because people don't like your disgusting political views anymore, because you want genocide and they don't, keep black people's name out of your

He actually said there might not be any crime at all.

Right.

They're investigating the crime of losing because they're worried they're going to lose the Alaska Senate race.

The Supreme Court in the state already ruled on this.

And as much as I think this is a stupid tactic the campaigns do, it's a normal form of a stupid tactic the campaigns do.

Republicans right now.

Pretty sleazy tactic.

everybody.

Do you understand how you can have some evidence that someone married their brother? Married their brother? I'm sorry.

Some? No, but I don't know why you're trusting the administration here when they're lying about a thousand different things right now.

So now the New York Times is wrong? This is clearly just an attempt to meddle with the midterms to give the base something that you can throw them some red meat.

I mean, you literally just showed the entire Muslim Brotherhood thing with Abdul El-Sayed is based on one tweet.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

It's basically he had to apologize because he apologized for a terrorist.

Hold on,
