The DOJ is a complete catastrophe right now.
And under any other presidential administration, what has happened would trigger impeachment proceedings immediately.
A seventh U.S. attorney has now quit the Department of Justice, and he wrote to the DOJ, I expect you will eventually find someone
who is enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file your motion, but it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. Yours truly, Hagan Scotton. Any other administration, if this was joe biden barack obama had kamala
harris won this would trigger impeachment proceedings immediately seven u.s attorneys
and i want to remind everybody that typically doj uh law enforcement lean republican i'm not
saying everybody at the u.s attorney's office Republican. I'm sure there's some progressives, independents, liberals in there. But the majority, this is a very right-leaning, conservative profession that draws those types because they're prosecuting people, throwing them in jail, etc. And this is just unbelievable. Well, and it's unprecedented. This does not happen in normal administrations.
Two things. Number one, the Senate just confirmed a complete conspiracy theorist,
non-scientist, guy that runs around planting bears, dead bears in Central Park and whacking off whale heads as the secretary
over health.
They appointed someone who can't even get, who's on the known traveler, like no flight
list, who loves dictators.
They appointed her to be the director of national intelligence.
So if you're expecting me to think that any Senate Republican would come out against Trump,
now it's just not going to happen because they're cowards and they do not care about America or
their constituents. They care about pleasing Donald Trump because they don't want to lose
their jobs. And you would think that
there would be internal strife, like we've got a real problem. We've got to take care of it.
These people do not care. They have no shame. And unfortunately, he's right. There will be
somebody that lacks ethics and morals that is happy to do Donald Trump's bidding.
I want to remind everybody that the DOJ is supposed to be
independent and completely independent and autonomous as an agency. And clearly all Pam
Bondi wants to do is go through Donald Trump's resentment list, his revenge to her, and she's
going to help him execute that. And Democrats, I think some
Democrats voted for her. And I want to tell every Senate Democrat from now until the end of times,
whenever you have a Republican nominee in front of you, they will lie to you. The most
controversial thing in their past that you asked them about, you asked Brett Kavanaugh about Roe,
he lied. He said it was precedent. What'd they do?
He overturned it. Pam Bondi, she said it would be independent. She wouldn't have helped Trump
with his revenge to her. She lied. They are lying liars. It pisses me off that Democrats even voted
for this quack. She's a total quack and a total sycophant. Shifting gears here,
speaking of quack sycophants, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, here he is talking about
hard power on the national stage. President Trump has said, but it's not enough. Nor is 3%, nor is 4%, more like 5%. Real investment, real urgency.
We can talk all we want about values. Values are important. But you can't shoot values.
You can't shoot flags. And you can't shoot strong speeches.
There is no replacement for hard power.
As much as we may not want to like the world we live in, in some cases, there's nothing like hard power.
Okay, this is humiliating. Here he is on the national stage and he's trying to belittle Europe. And he's, he just, that's,
this is this armchair blowhard bullshit where he's been hanging out on bro podcasts all during,
you know, his off time before he was appointed to this in between Fox and this, this is an
absolute embarrassment. It shows American weakness. You can't shoot a flag. That stuff
doesn't translate on the national stage. Yeah, that works on Fox News. Yeah, that works on Newsmax.
Yeah, you can go on Joe Rogan. Y'all can bro around about all that bullshit. That doesn't
work on the national stage, particularly in Europe, where they value education a lot more than the MAGA party does. That is humiliating.
Oh, it's an embarrassment beyond beyond. It's like he went straight from the Fox News couch
to the world stage. What he doesn't realize is everybody in Europe, outside of America,
they know that Fox News is straight up propaganda and that this is all just complete and total b s it's i mean it's
embarrassing right now to be from america where they're rolling out pete hexeths who qualifications
are paying off a woman for sex going on fox news running two non-profits into the ground but now
he's in charge of our military. Oh, and I forget,
he's changed back. He's renamed Naval and airstrip and military bases back to the racist roots. I
mean, it's so gross. And I would think outside the United States, they are appalled.
Okay. Next up, we have Senator Roger Wicker, and he is starting to be troubled.
He says GOP Senator Roger Wicker on Pete Hegsa's NATO speech, which you just heard some of,
where he stated that Ukraine won't return to its pre-2014 borders and won't gain NATO membership.
He says, I don't know who wrote the speech.
It is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written.
And Carlson is a fool.
Everybody knows, and people in the administration know,
you don't say before your first meeting what you will agree to and what you won't agree to.
Wicker told this to Politico that he was puzzled and disturbed.
And here's what I have to say to the senator.
Senator Wicker, I'm not puzzled and disturbed. And here's what I have to say to the Senator. Senator Wicker, I'm not puzzled
and concerned. I could very easily from my, and I don't have the security clearance. I don't see
the documents that you see, Senator Wicker. I just am out here in Oklahoma City, United States
of America, and I could clearly see that Trump was compromised by Putin. I could clearly see
that Trump was starting to surround
himself with Putin sycophants. I'm talking about Tulsi Gabbard. I'm talking, he hangs out with
Tucker Carlson all the time. He's completely compromised. All these podcasters of that Trump
went on all of, they are all on Putin's payroll. This does not shock me that the United States
first speech speeches regarding the United States position
between in the Ukraine situation is that they are recommending that the Ukraine seed land to Russia.
You know why? Because that's a Putin talking point. And you know what Trump is surrounded with?
A bunch of Putin people. And Putin has played the long game with this for 10 years. Every morning in Moscow,
it is Christmas morning, every single morning. We can all sit here and say, why are they doing this?
I don't understand. Well, I guarantee you in Moscow, they know exactly. And when the Democrats
got power back, they screwed up miserably. I remember one of Trump's very first meetings in the Oval
Office. He had two Russian dignitaries that came in and they dismissed everybody from the room,
with the exception of the interpreter. That interpreter, we should have found out exactly
what happened. We should have found out exactly what went on. And there's a reason that they want
to fire every single employee in the CIA. Why would they want to do
that? I wonder why. Probably because the CIA knows exactly which Americans are fucking around with
Russia and Putin. Every single one of them is one degree of separation or right in the oval,
in my opinion. Well, and you look at his boyfriend, Elon Musk, the true president of the United States right now. I mean, he is he and Trump.
I mean, he and Putin are on like a conquer the world world tour.
I mean, Elon Musk, without a doubt, is making all the decisions.
Trump is just a useful idiot, which we've known this forever.
And for this guy to come out and say, well, I'm puzzled.
And I didn't know, like Kamala Harris told us all this in her campaign. Like none of this is new
information. Like shut the fuck up. Hillary Clinton told us before Kamala. Yes. Let me just
show you how we know for sure that Trump is a Putin asset. Listen to this.
In the future, in which Ukraine returns to its pre-2014 borders?
Well, I think Pete said today that that's unlikely, right?
It certainly would seem to be unlikely.
They took a lot of land and they fought for that land and they lost a lot of soldiers.
But it would just seem to me, and I'm not making an opinion on it, but I've read a lot on it.
And a lot of people think that that's unlikely. It cannot be overstated what a devastating blow to democracy and to American leadership that that that kind of statement is.
It is it is everybody's worst fears coming right to fruition.
And what we all pretty much knew that he's on the payroll for Putin.
Pumps just mentioned Musk having a bunch of secret phone conversations with Putin prior to winning this last election. This is really, really dangerous because what we have right now are all of the world's autocrats forming together.
And after World War II, it was all of the world's democracies.
And so we're on the bad side now. And that's just really hard to reconcile having been,
you know, we're Americans and everything that you believed in and that you were taught
is just getting completely flipped upside down for that guy. We're going to throw it all away for him.
Yeah.
Well, it's interesting.
All of these people that were Republicans voting for Reagan and Bush, it was because
national, we want national security.
And now they want to crawl in bed and snuggle with Putin and they're not, Trump's not even
hiding it.
Well, they fought for it.
They wanted it.
Okay, so what you're telling me is I can go into Mar-a-Lago
and I can go in and fight for it.
And if you can't get me out of there, then it's mine.
I mean, that's what he's saying.
He's a dipshit.
Well, I mean, more than being a dipshit,
he is, these are all Russian talking points.
Every single bit of this, exactly what Tulsi Gabbard says, what Pete Hegseth said.
That's why the senator said this sounds like something Tucker Carlson wrote.
And Trump saying in the Oval that Russia is going to keep some of that land is a complete shift in our position in helping ukraine and for those of you that
haven't caught on putin won't stop at ukraine and that's what we've been trying to prevent the next
place he will go into is poland and that's why europe watches this so closely because they know
and they value education unlike unlike half of the United States
of stupidity. All right, stick with us for more uplifting news over the weekend.
