Shock of all shocks, the Trump administration
has lost its mind multiple times this week. After
last week's show, we had the Trump flip -flop
over the weekend of, don't vote for this. Republicans
are stupid if you vote for this, too. Never mind,
you should all vote for this. All of you vote
for it right now. And so this week we had the
vote. We guessed last week in our segment that
there were going to be a bunch of defections.
We'd heard 40 to 50. No, there was only one no
vote in the House of Representatives and it was
unanimous out of the Senate. And I don't think
anybody saw that result coming. Nobody was like,
yep, we're going to automatically go for that
veto proof majority. The only no vote out of
the House. was from Clay Higgins and his name
alone should tell you all you need to know about
that. Clay Higgins. I'm not going to vote for
them Epstein files. Fuck that guy. Anyway, so
we'll start there. We have another Trump nutty
headline. We'll get to that in a second. Jay,
were you surprised by the vote that it was that
many people were like, yep, get this out there
and What else did you think when this all finally
kind of shook out? So for a few things so one
I wasn't shocked that it passed because I think
for me I was like whoever like votes no I I think
that's just like career suicide like sorry it
when their term is up like they're done like
that's that gives you whoever they're running
against that gives them that person like the
perfect thing like oh hey like this person protected
pedophiles like I was shocked that it passed
that yeah that everyone pretty much agreed except
for one person that it should be released so
I was shocked by the I guess the number of people
have voted yes. So I wasn't, but yeah, I wasn't
surprised that it passed. My thought on this
now, not knowing how like governmental, I don't
know, top secret documents go. is I'm worried
that now that everyone is backing this, like
all the Republicans and Trump and his little
group of friends, I'm worried that they got rid
of some of the stuff. Some of the real bad stuff.
I don't I don't think they even need to get rid
of it. I think what they're going to do is they're
going to call it classified. because the the
actual legislation says they're releasing unclassified
documents now they'll redact a bunch of it i
think they're going to play some games with how
they do the redactions and how they do the releases
by classifying some of it they obviously um they
obviously went down this road of um you know
oh we opened a new investigation You know which
everybody questioned we were like, but I thought
you fool said like three months ago that you
were close to the Investigation and there was
nobody to go after right and they're like, well
we got new information But nobody's buying it
Again, no just nobody's buying this stuff. They're
just not They have 30 days. So I think it's gonna
be interesting to see what happens over the next
30 days um the stuff that the house released
last week that we talked about on the show we're
starting to see some of the the the stuff that's
going on with that larry summers stepped down
from the board of open ai he's left his position
at harvard he's gone away from the center for
american progress um it's you know there are
people it's already starting to affect some things
um so i'll be curious i have no doubt though
It's not even about sharing the documents. It's
just, again, them calling it classified. Hey,
this is classified. Fuck you. We're not we're
not showing you, you know. And so I think it's
going to turn into a bit of a fight. The other
interesting piece of this legislation is let's
say we get a different administration in there,
a different AG. This law doesn't expire. So the
next admin can use this law to release everything.
If they want to. We'll see. I I am hesitant to
make predictions after the flip flops from last
week and everything else that's going on. I am.
I am hesitant to make predictions on what the
hell they're going to do. You know what I mean?
So, yeah. All right. Should we move on to headline
number two that happened today? Yeah, let's go.
Okay headline number two Trump calling for the
execution of Democratic lawmakers Here's what's
happening. Let me break this down for everybody
So a few days ago, there was a report I believe
out of the New York Times Saying that certain
senior military officials are seeking outside
counsel right outside of the military to help
them parse whether some of the orders they're
getting from the DOD specifically around these
strikes in Venezuela are legal, right? When this
broke, some Democratic lawmakers made a big video
targeting its service members and, you know,
basically encouraging them to not follow illegal
orders. When they did that, Trump was like, that's
sedition. It's punishable by death. We don't
have a country. So, why is this a thing? Why
are they going to outside counsel? So, first
off, what generally happens is that at the higher
levels of command, they have a JAG officer. His
job is to look at everything that's going on
and do legal analysis and determine whether orders
are legal. A bunch of JAG officers at the Pentagon
have been fired. or removed from their positions.
Right. The Southcom commander, who would oversee
Venezuela, resigned suddenly right before all
this stuff started happening. There is some question
as to the legality of it. And as we learned at
Nuremberg and after my lie, just saying I didn't
know it wasn't illegal is not a defense. You
can't use it as a defense. And what? Rightfully
so. Some of these people are thinking about is,
dude, I don't want to get six, seven years down
the line. And suddenly I'm standing trial for
war crimes. Right. Because that's what can happen.
Now, are the Democrats playing politics with
it? Absolutely. Is it sedition? No, no. He's
just popping off at the mouth. Right. I heard
and so if by the way, if you guys want good like
news analysis, it's kind of almost both sides.
I recommend breaking points. They have a great
YouTube channel. They work with the guys who
are drop site news or great independent news
team. That's who I listen to pretty much every
day. I love breaking points anyway. He he made
a point today when they were talking about some
of this stuff and they were talking about it
in relation to this and the whole Comey prosecution.
Right. Because that's falling apart on them.
Right. It's the fascism of dunces. Right. These
guys are trying to do a fascism. But they're
not good at it. Right. The problem is they keep
fucking things up like and they screw it. He
hired yes men. Hegseth is in no way qualified
to be the. the SecDef, Pam Bondi is not qualified
to be the AG. She's really not, right? Okay.
These people don't know what they're doing. Case
in point, the person they put in charge of Comey's
prosecution, because the first guy in Virginia,
right, who was the person who Who they wanted
to prosecute Comey said No, I can't There's nothing
there. We can't prosecute him. So they fired
him and they put in this woman named Lindsay
Halligan right Lindsay Halligan is a lawyer right
She was she worked for deco models she competed
in Miss Colorado USA hmm, right um and Her primary
thing that she's done for the last nine years
is insurance law. She has never in her life done
criminal law. And they were like, we're going
to make you the U .S. attorney for the Southern
District of Virginia and you'll prosecute James
Comey, somebody who had no idea how to prosecute
a criminal case. Right. Because she'd never done
it in her life. OK. She represented insurance
companies against lawsuits filed by homeowners.
Okay? She's a doofus, right? And yesterday, the
judge basically questioned her left, right, and
center. He's like, what are you doing? And it's
all stuff that anybody who was a longtime prosecutor
would know not to do, but she doesn't know, right?
And yeah, it was somebody said to my cousin Vinny,
right? It's worse than my cousin Vinny. Okay.
Well, I mean, I love that movie. Also, one of
the last times somebody won an Oscar for a comedy
was Marissa Tomei in that movie. She won a best.
Really? Yeah. Marissa Tomei won a best supporting
actress role Oscar for her role in My Cousin
Vinny. Cool. I did not know that. And her role
was great. Wasn't she awesome in that movie?
Yeah. Yeah. Again, it's the fascism of morons,
right? The lucky part, I guess, the upside is
that they're having a hard time with their fascism
because they don't know how to do it right. So
that's. Somebody in the YouTube chat, this administration
is the Roblox version of the Third Reich. It's
true and meanwhile, this is all set to the backdrop
of the major conservative Organizations like
the Heritage Foundation and stuff like that are
literally tearing themselves to pieces right
now Members of the heritage boards who've been
there for 30 years stalwart members of the conservative
movement are leaving they don't know where they're
going, right and They just don't they don't know
what to do what you got good for us You know,
I mean you have any thoughts further thoughts
on this one Just like trying to answer a chat
question so the connection is Vinny and The movie
he doesn't know what to do. So he's like stumbling
through the case and the judge has to like keep
Correcting him kind of guiding him very frustrated
at this lawyer who very clearly is like out of
his depth and doesn't know what to do. That's
kind of the connection. It's 1992. So it's kind
of an old movie, but it's funny. It's a great
movie. It really is. It's a phenomenal movie.
Yeah. So I mean, This is what's going on. I don't
know how many people have forgotten about the
first administration. The first administration
was like this. Every day I would get up, I would
turn on Twitter and be like, what idiot thing
did our president say today? Right? It was every
day. Right? Yeah. You know, the other problem
that they're having with the Comey prosecution
is Comey's lawyers who are smart are going, hey,
this is malicious and vindictive prosecution.
They're only doing this because the president
told them to order them to. And that's illegal.
Toss the case out. Right. And the problem is,
is that the government is having a hard time
arguing. Now, when they fired the other prosecutor
and Trump's been on his truth social multiple
times, we like prosecute Comey. Right. So they're
they're screwed. It's it's dumb. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. His tariff thing is gonna get tossed out
of court, right? I think everybody kind of sees
that coming, right? They're already, if you've
noticed, they've very quietly been backing off
tariffs the last week. They've been lowering
a bunch, lowering a bunch, lowering a bunch.
And I think they know that their whole tariff
regime is about to get tossed out on its head,
right? Again, it's dumb. It's just dumb. They
don't know how to fascism right. So I mean, that's
it. Anyway, let us know what you think in the
