We got some pretty big news. Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's chief of staff is likely to get fired. Now, this is coming at a time when we have seen that there's been a lot of turmoil within the White House. Now, we talked about how Pete Hackseth was likely to get fired yesterday. And we saw some hints of it with this reporting that said that Trump was going to reportedly override Pete Hagsteth and cancel live streaming of the firing squad execution of Fort Hood, Gunman, Nadal, Hassan. Now, what's interesting is what has happened. is that Donald Trump has done just that. In a very long post here, Donald Trump canceled the live stream of that man who is being killed by firing squad. And so that does make one assume that the same person who also reported a couple of days ago that Donald Trump is considering fire Pete Hexeth knows what he's talking about and he's hearing something that happens to be true.

And so that's why when we're going through this stuff, trust me, this stuff does not leak for no reason. People hear things. D.C. is very leaky. People want to gossip. People want to tell you that they know something other people don't because they can get power or favors or whatever. So we're going to walk through this, but this is very important because what is frankly a little scary is who Donald Trump is considering replacing her with. Trump reportedly thinking about dumping chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as rivals are. circling, quote, she's burned a lot of people. Let's go through it. Donald Trump is privately asking allies about whether he should replace White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, even as he publicly insists his longtime aide still has his complete confidence, according to a new political playbook report. The president has recently begun consulting with friends and political allies about what they think of Wiles and discussing possible successors for people with direct knowledge of the conversations told Playbook on Thursday.

Goes on to say here. She's burned a lot of people. One Republican operative close to the White House told Playbook. Recent scrutiny has focused on foreign consulting work involving longtime Trump advisors James Blair and Chris LaSavita, as well as Wiles daughter, Katie Wiles. And Daniel Alvarez, who is a White House spokesperson, said the following, which does not mean anything because these folks like to lie. Says White House spokesperson Daniel Alvers. Similar said, the anonymous sources, know nothing. describing the administration as a united team focused on his America First Agenda, not the egos and political games of anonymous outsiders. Just so you know, every time it was reported on, whether it be Tulsi Gabbard,

whether it be Pam Bondi, Christy Noem, they all had similar statements from the White House, and then what don't you know it, that got canned. Now, is Susie Wiles getting fired? We don't know. We won't know until it happens. But who he's trying to replace her with is frankly very serious. Scary. Real quick, while you're here, hit like on the video.

so much. Donald Trump for his part said total fake news. Politico doesn't care about the facts, integrity, or honest journalism. That's why I kicked them out to the White House. He said, Susie Wiles is my loyal and longest serving chief of staff. There's a reason for that. She has been with me since the beginning, is my trusted advisor and has my complete confidence. Okay, we'll see about that. Donald Trump reportedly sidelined his influential white. House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in his decision for the new press secretary. So she did not want to hire Katie. We can see why.

She was right about that one. But it is, again, it's like Donald Trump telling Pete Hackseth, don't live stream this thing. It's showing that they're not in sync. So the fact that Susie Wiles is like, don't hire her. He did anyway. Shows that they're not in sync. It's leading insiders to warn that the West Wing is beginning to return to the chaos of the first term. Trump chose conservative commentator Katie Zachariah, as we know,

with four sources telling the Daily Mail that the process was without a proper vetting and was decided in about 72 hours. Instead, Trump took matters into his own hands. After enjoying Zachariah's performance on Fox News, the president consulted his advisors, including Boris Epstein, and Levitt on whether Zachariah could handle the job. Levitt reportedly gave her approval, and Trump personally called Zachariah

to offer her the position, which she accepted immediately per the report. In a humiliating turn, Wiles learned of the decision from Leavitt who called her after speaking with Trump according to a White House source. An administration source defended Trump's decision saying Wiles wanted someone personally loyal to her

while the president kicked an aide loyal to him. Second source claimed that Wiles is power-hungry and pointed to an internal power struggle. Wiles wants people she can control, as source said in the report, adding this is seen as one of many recent microaggressions from Donald Trump to Susie, he is taking back control and it is starting to feel more like the first term. Now, even more chilling is who Donald Trump intends to replace her with.

Among the potential replacements, Trump has floated, are deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller is White House chief of staff? Stephen Miller who architected ICE going into blue cities killing at least two Americans that we know of. That's Stephen Miller? Stephen Miller? As someone wrote here, as crazy as Trump's first two years have been with Susie Wiles, as chief of staff, imagine how much worse the next will be with Stephen Miller in that job. And reportedly, the boys have the nyes out for Susie Wiles because, of course, the girl has to take the fall for Trump instead of the guys like Stephen Miller, Bill Pulte, Pete Hagseth, and Scott percent who have come up with losing policies from political playbook.

Trump has floated several people who could replace Wiles, as I told you, Stephen Miller, and then also Randy Levine, the president of the New York Yankees as an outside the building option. Trump is also considering Steve Whitkoff, Bill Pulte, and Kevin McCarthy, people close to the president told us, allies of McCarthy, the former House Speaker have been arguing that he could help Trump handle a hostile Democratic Congress. And here's a little bit more reporting on this. We have a lot to get to on this Tuesday, but we start with Susie Wiles' unprecedented and brutally honest account of what's going on inside Trump 2.0, unlike anything we've ever heard from a White House chief of staff.

In a pair of new Vanity Fair articles, the woman tasked with bringing the president's vision of America to life provides an unsettling look at what's happening behind closed doors and inside the president's head. Now, as to how he approaches the world, Wiles said Trump has an alcoholic's personality. She didn't say he is an alcoholic. He famously doesn't drink, but said he operates with a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing. Zero. Nothing. If anyone would know, it's Wiles, who's been with Trump every step of the way as campaign manager, advisor, now chief of staff, consolidating power. She says Trump liked her from their first meeting as the daughter of sports. Sports great Pat Somerall because, quote, he said it a million times. I judge people by their genes.

Yeah. So that is reporting from last year where Susie Wiles was brutally honest about Donald Trump and his temperament. And I don't think that's a reason why she would be getting canned if it were. She would have been canned a long time ago. But it does show that there's a lot of hostility between Susan Wiles and Donald Trump. And we have more reporting here that Susie Wiles may just be the beginning. Trump reportedly is on the verge of firing several key members of his administration in an effort to clean house amid mounting corruption allegations and expected midterm losses. So we will see what happens.

It does feel like they are rearranging the chairs of the Titanic or he's getting a criminal group together to try to do something unconstitutional. Regardless of what it is, we're going to keep following it. It's not good for us. I'll tell you that. Susie Wiles, you might not like her. You might think she's evil. She probably is a little evil, but she's not insane. She's not insane.

And so she is truly someone who I think is keeping sanity in the White House and it is a scary prospect that he's going to potentially remove her. And if there is any smoke, quite often there is fire. We've seen this before with all the other firings that have happened. And certainly it looks like that's going to happen here too.
