Donald Trump getting humiliated on Capitol Hill today and frankly this entire week getting beat down by some members of his own party. Not as strong as you think you are there, Donald. Our

editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski posted the following. Only a bumbling, moronic, incompetent idiot would think that Matt Gaetz would ever be by the Senate. Oh, look, here's that idiot. Ron Filipkowski wrote about Donald Trump, who made this post after Matt Gates withdrew his name for consideration as attorney general. Donald Trump posted the following, I greatly appreciate recent efforts of Matt Gates in seeking approval to be attorney general. He was doing very well, but at the same time did not want to be a distraction for the administration. Distraction, that's one way of saying very credible allegations of child sex trafficking being leveled against him. And then you pressuring other MAGA Republicans to support a potential sex trafficker in public.

But I digress. Kyle Chenney wrote that per the Senate historian, Matt Gaetz's eight-day cabinet nomination is the third shortest in history. It is not as short, though, as Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War, nominated in 1815, which lasted one day. Matt Gaetz lasted eight days. That's about.73. Scaramoochies.

Turning to Capitol Hill, the humiliation hits keep on happening with Donald Trump, as he not only picks unqualified and incompetent people, but people who appear to be sexual predators. That seems to be the theme right here. Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Peter Hegseth, was on Capitol Hill and he was being asked about a police report that was released by the Monterey Police Department about a rape victim unconscious of the nature of the act from a 2017 incident, which Hegseth claims was consensual. And the woman claims that she was raped by Hegseth. Hegseth is a Fox weekend host with no leadership experience

to lead the secretary of defense and get our nuclear arsenal. But hey, when you've got Matt Gates and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. and Hegseth. We're starting to see some commonality here, but it all starts at the top, or should I say the bottom, because when Trump's at the top, the depths of depravity don't really have a floor. Here's Hegseth on Capitol Hill, where he says, just wants to talk to us. Bitching sexually assaulted woman in Monterey, California. I have, as far as the media is concerned, I'll keep this very simple. The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared.

And that's where I'm going to leave it. Thank you very much. Did you hear what he said there? He goes, as far as the media is concerned, as far as the media is concerned, and then says he's completely cleared. You were not completely cleared. Going to Don Jr. now for a moment. Here you have Don Jr. talking about some more Trump products that I guess they are licensing Donald Trump's name, image, and likeness to and selling. Here, play this clip.

Especially the mini Trump drones, you know, for kids are going to really appreciate it, but it's going to be pretty cool if you guys are doing some toy shopping, check them out. Wow, Trump drones. How embarrassing is this? They're selling Trump drones? They're selling Trump guitars? Did you see that? I reported on this yesterday. Donald Trump's making post about buy your Trump guitar for $1,500. How disgraceful and embarrassing just for everyone, frankly. But I guess it's time for the real attorney general nominee for Donald Trump. It's Habba time. Play this clip. I'll tell you something. Somebody said to me, Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty? And I said, oh, easy.

Pretty. I can fake being smart. I'm not sure if I'm joking or not there. She hasn't been formally picked. But with Donald Trump, would it shock you if he picked Alina Haba? By the way, Donald Trump getting more bad news today as he found out that one of his closest allies, a fellow insurrectionist, Brazilian's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, has

been indicted over his knowledge of a coup plot to kill his successor and overturn the election results in Brazil. And of course, we know Donald Trump was making videos strongly supporting Bolsonaro, as was Don Jr. And as our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, said, started going. One of the most interesting things, too, is that as Donald Trump is getting embarrassed on Capitol Hill, he's also humiliating all of his fellow Republicans who he pressured and forced, maybe they wanted to do this, but to support child sex trafficking allegations. Just think about it. Before Donald Trump has even taken the oath of office again, Donald Trump had the Republicans all go out there and basically show that they were the pro-sex trafficking party, pro-child sex trafficking party, as they were defending these allegations against Matt Gaetz. So shortly before Matt Gaetz withdrew his name, I'm just going to, I'll show you one Republican because they're all like this.

But here's MAGA Republican Warren Davidson from Ohio. And here he is trying to defend the child sex trafficking allegations. Great job, Warren. Here, play this clip. I understand what you're saying about Pete Hexeth, and I'm going to follow up on that in just a second. But on Matt Gaetz, I take your point about who Trump did not, he didn't like who he put in there before. He wants a loyalist. But this is the chief law enforcement officer in the country, the attorney general. Why shouldn't the American public see what is in this ethics report, especially given the president that I laid out? The American people knew the kind of mandate they

were given Donald Trump when they elected him president of the United States. And they know that the Department of Justice has been weaponized. We've had a weaponization task force that's exposed this and the administration needs to have a leader like Matt Gaetz who's going to drive change.

And so as Donald Trump is making a fool of himself on Capitol Hill and in Washington, D.C., you've got Republicans involved in extorting each other, Marjorie Taylor Greene, saying to the other Republicans, if you didn't support Matt Gaetz, and if you're calling for Matt Gaetz's ethics report to be released, Republicans, I know all about your friendship with Epstein and people like Epstein. I know about your sexual harassment and all of your sexual assaults that are being covered up now. So maybe I should tell people about all of your Epstein stuff.

Just think about that. Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying, I know all about your Epstein connections, Republicans, and that you're all pedos and predators, and I'm going to out you. Or as she likes to say, if we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. Just read what she says. For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, if we're going to release the ethics report and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it all out there for the American people to see. Yes, all the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled, paying off victims with taxpayer money, the entire Epstein files, the tapes, the recordings, the witness interviews, but not just those. There's more. Epstein wasn't, isn't the only asset. Let's

dance. That's what she's saying right there. By the way, Republicans have spent the entire week as well attacking the one transgender member in Congress who was just elected, Congresswoman-elect McBride. And so Nancy Mace is leading this charge. Maga Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, banning Congresswoman McBride from using the women's bathroom. That was their big, powerful move today to bully or yesterday to bully Congresswoman McBride. But just to show you how phony these people are, this is what MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace wrote in 2021. And as our editor-in-chief Ron Ron Filipkowski, wrote, the T is for transgender from this phony, attention-starved, anger-tainment performance artist. Here's what Nancy Mace wrote June 4th, 2021. The pandemic kept us all from fully celebrating Pride here in Lowcountry in 2020.

But hopefully, as we finally begin to open back up, we can all come together to celebrate the challenges our LGBTQ plus has overcome and the bright future ahead. Hashtag Pride Month. Hashtag Pride 2021. But now Nancy Mace is out there attacking Congresswoman McBride. But if you dare call Nancy Mace out on anything, this is how Nancy Mace responds. It's real gaslighting. She goes, I've lost almost 30 pounds in the last 12 months due to PTSD from a deeply traumatic event. So keep mocking my looks and attacking women who survived abuse and who wear that abuse on the inside and out. The raging radical lefts, bullying, death threats, and words will never stop me from protecting those who are the most vulnerable, our women and girls.

And look, I mean, their bottom line, though, is that Nancy Mace is out there attacking the very existence of Congresswoman McBride. As Adam Kinzinger says, and I think he's spot on here, the real story on Capitol Hill is the desire of GOP men to have transgender women in their bathrooms. Think about that. Okay, we're also learning about RFK Jr.'s former babysitter speaking out about the times he sexually assaulted her. You've got James Comer creating a Doge subcommittee for Donald Trump, chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was just threatening to out Republicans for their Epstein connections for releasing a potential child sex trafficking report about Matt Gates. And the doge will be also led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Oh, and then you have Donald

Trump's pick where he's also getting embarrassed. People aren't even talking about this one. As Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, one of the co-founders of WWE, take a look at these photos of her. This is what she is known for, I suppose. But look, Donald Trump's lies already being exposed right away. I mean, number one, he said tariffs, not a tax on Americans. Of course, they are a tax on Americans. We're seeing Walmart, Target, other retailers saying prices are going up, up, up, up, up because of the Trump tariffs. That's what we have to do. People losing out on Christmas bonuses now because of Donald Trump. Donald Trump's administration making it clear

they will be targeting all Latinos. So the Latinos for Trump who thought that they were immune. Donald Trump's going after all migrants as well as pursuing denaturalization. Meaning even if you are a citizen, he's going to try to take your citizenship away for you. If he thinks that it's not the right type of citizenship. Oh, and mortgage rates are going up, up, up right now. They've gone up significantly since Donald Trump won because the bond market is in chaos and panic because of Donald Trump's picks. So mortgage rates are going up. Donald Trump said, I will very quickly

get those mortgage rates to 2%. No, you're not. They're actually gone up significantly since you've been in office. So those are the facts that we're at right now. Not a good week for Donald Trump, not a good week for the American people, but this is where we use our voices and we call him out together. Again, I don't care what political party you're from. We should look at this and be like, child sex trafficking? What? The Republicans are supporting child sex trafficking? Over and over and over? There's multiple people Trump are picking who have these sex assault allegations against them?
