Transcript of He Has Stage 5 Meltdown As Impeachments Begin

So as Trump and the Republicans got absolutely wiped out on Tuesday, at least Donald Trump is staying on message. Kylie, roll the clip.

Well, thank you very much. We have something that is of great interest to me, but it's of great interest to a lot of people, and it concerns the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room—very important spaces—and I'm going to be signing a document which will make them into a landmark for the ages. It won't be able to be taken down, destroyed, touched, or anything else.

What's up, y'all? Ladies are out still. It's still Friday. I'm Charlie Goldenson. Folks online, call me Shay Chuck. I am back hosting with our favorite Josh Welch.

Good morning.

Josh, what do you think about Donald Trump losing in a massive election and then saying he's going to protect the White House?

I assume this is by executive order. He's trying to preserve certain aspects of these rooms so that future presidents can't change or alter things within them, their appearance. I mean, it's crazy absurd. Did he not just get the memo that everybody just got their ass wiped out? Like, seriously, there's a landslide and he's in there droning on about his vanity projects and this, you know, bullshit? I mean, come on, get with it. And I think that was part of their problem.

Yeah. I mean, to me, it's like the perfect—exactly what you said—between the reflecting pool bullshit, I think it was the day before the election or two days before the election, and now this.

Yeah, yeah.

I just think it's—I'm not trying to, like, discredit how awful and terrifying Donald Trump is, but I think it's really revealing that this guy has no actual ideology, right? Like, there's not actually any kind of, like, political morality driving his politics. All he cares about is aesthetic—bad aesthetic—and wealth accumulation. That's it. And perception. That's all he fucking cares about.

And think about it like this. Like, if he cared about policy, three days after you got your ass kicked—ass kicked, wiped out, a total wipeout—I wouldn't, you wouldn't, no one would be in the White House talking about signing an executive order to preserve the Oval Office and whatever these rooms are that he's decorated and wants to preserve. I mean, it's insane. It's crazy.

Yeah. I mean, he—and again, it's like even getting the—even the fact that he's off the Republican message, he just doesn't give a fuck about anybody, right?

He doesn't.

Like, listen, voters, you guys just, like, had an uproar, almost a movement to say we are against what's going on in this country, and Donald Trump does not give a flying fuck about anybody. And also the idea that he cares about White House preservation. This motherfucker tore down the East Wing a year ago, okay? So, like, he's already destroyed half the White House. And maybe I'll just say this too: the reason I think that he destroyed the East Wing but cares about this is because the East Wing, historically, is run and operated by women. It is where the First Lady operates her offices, historically.

Makes sense.

So in his view, he's like, I don't give a shit about this. That's where the ladies play. Be gone with it. But this is where the big boys play. This is where we eat our fucking McDonald's hamburgers. We're going to keep this one forever.

Yeah.

What a fucking loser, dude. Kylie, we're moving on to the next one. Again, after this big blue wave, House Democrats tweeted this out. This is from House Judiciary Dems: "It's time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated, i.e., Donald Trump budget." Jeremy—Senator—Congressman Raskin runs this committee for the time being. Josh, what do you think about that?

When I saw this tweet, this really, really pissed me off. And I want to remind the committee what ICE did to our country during Trump's second term. So I want to take just a second. I want to remind each of these members on the committee that tweeted that. ICE agents killed nine people in our streets. They injured 13 in at least 30 different shootings. 11 of those shootings came in 2026 when ICE basically declared war on the state of Minnesota and other states. That included, we know, Renee Good. An ICE agent shot her and called her a fucking bitch.

Yeah, this is all about accountability. And I mean, it reminds me of Hakeem Jeffries going on doing an interview yesterday or two days ago where he said that, you know, Americans, they don't want to—they don't want us to take accountability with Republicans.

Yeah, yeah.

And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Bullshit.

We can do both. We can do both. You can govern and you can fight for affordability while also holding these fascist enablers to account for the fucking crimes they have committed against American citizens and our neighbors. I'll also say, to remind people, right, remember last year when TSA lines at airports were so insane that nobody could fly and it felt like planes were crashing out of the air? The reason that those lines were so long was because Republicans were holding up government federal funding because Democrats were asking at that point for ICE agents to have body cams.

Agree.

I completely agree with you, Josh. Now let's continue this discussion about accountability. There is a Cabinet member who you guys might recognize who put out a speech or put out a clip yesterday after he heard that folks on the Democratic side might try to impeach him. Kylie, roll the clip.

Not about me. But of course, the other side, in case you've noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies, has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly. Just like they tried against President Trump twice. You see, their policies don't work, so their obsession with political theater disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their opponents.

No, thank you, man.

He's like that, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, can we just remember too, before we even get into the endless list of shit that Hegseth has fucked up, within three months of being in the Cabinet, this guy sent war secrets and war plans over Signal to a journalist, right? Like, this guy has no fucking idea how to do this job. His own mother put out a statement saying that she was ending her relationship with him because he was abusive, right? Like, this guy is a fucking mess. The idea that he has any type of, like, that they're coming after him for personal reasons.

Well, let's not forget that he murdered, you know, some guys on a fishing boat outside of Venezuela. I mean, he just did that. You know, at one point in time, he was going to be removed and impeached for that. But the list is endless for this guy as to why he needs to go. I mean, he's so unfit for this office and this war that we're in and how he's handled it, the whole thing. And there's been reports that he may not make it until next week. His ass may be gone by this weekend. He didn't acknowledge this in his speech, but did you pay attention to the election, Pete?

That's right.

It will come, so just count on it.

Yeah. And I think there is, you know, there is a valid conversation to be had here about Trump's scapegoating of Cabinet officials and other people to take the pressure off of himself.

Of course.

I think that's very real, right? And like, this isn't me saying that Hegseth isn't responsible for all these crimes. He is. But we've seen Donald Trump do this throughout his administration so far. He predominantly fires women. I think this might be the first man that might get impeached or I don't know. But when things go wrong, when messaging is bad, when PR is bad, Trump sheds his people, right, and tries to cleanse himself of the bad PR to take the weight and the pressure off of himself. And so, well, yes, of course, I think it's great and we should want all these Cabinet secretaries to be held to account and ultimately impeached and removed from office.

This guy, I mean, he's the worst of the worst. He should have never been confirmed. These bullshit Republican senators that rubber-stamped this thing, they ought to be here to account for some of this stuff. All of it. I mean, where do you start? Yeah, he ought to be removed immediately. And we've got two Democrats that were on a podcast talking about how they would pursue impeachment of Todd Blanch and they need to. Whether it's the Anti-Weaponization Fund, I mean, wrap your head around that. All these people go storm the Capitol, take a shit in it, you know, threaten to hang Mike Pence, all this stuff.

Yeah.

And so what he does is he capitulates to the Republican senators to get confirmed. I remember he said, "No, I won't pursue that," which means nothing. But of course you wouldn't pursue it. I mean, there's no basis to sue it. I blame all the Republicans for allowing his ass to be there. He represented Trump personally. He televised to everybody that he was Trump's personal lawyer, that his loyalty was to Trump. He didn't even defend the Department of Justice in this IRS lawsuit. He gave Trump basically exemptions from having to be examined by the IRS or pay taxes for an infinite number of years, which is clearly unconstitutional.

That's right. I mean, again, it's all about accountability. I'll take the—I'll use this time to go back to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, right? Like, I just think regardless of what accountability looks like, regardless of the kind of mechanisms of enforcement that we have depending upon the office and depending on whether we're talking about Cabinet secretaries or we're talking about the Attorney General or we're talking about ICE officers, we need Democratic leadership also who actually understand the importance and the power of this moment to put their fucking foot on the gas and hold these people.

Yeah. And the one thing Schumer has shown us is that he's incapable of doing that. If you base people on their past conduct, look at Schumer. I mean, he failed us miserably in 2024. He did not do that. There's nothing to suggest that he would do that. Get that son of a bitch out.

Yeah. Get that son of a bitch out. That's right. Moving over to the wonderful Vice President we have here. Kylie, can you roll this clip, please, about JD Vance?

Loud and clear about. And I have to say that I find it quite ironic to read a post from the Vice President as if he's describing the actions of a different administration. He's the Vice President of the United States of America. He is not just some commentator online. And there has to be a reckoning of the fact that this is a war that they started. It's a war that they can end. If they think it was a part of their political demise, then why don't they actually start to take some action to reflect that?

First of all, I just love that Mayor Zoram Amdani has joined the mustache train again, I must say. Second of all, for context for folks, what Zoran is referencing there is JD Vance a day or two ago put out a long statement basically saying that we shouldn't have gone to Iran. The reason that the reason that the Republicans lost these elections is because of Iran, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And the thing to remember about JD Vance is he's the fucking Vice President of the United States of America.

Yeah. And I equate this to, it's like you're the quarterback of an NFL football team and you play a game and you play horrible and you lose the game and then the next day you write an article about it as if you weren't playing quarterback for the team. You describe what happened, but you don't acknowledge that you're the quarterback for that team and that you had an awful game. I mean, it's absurd.

Yeah.

He acts like, I mean, if you think the war is awful and that's the reason, guess what? You've got the power to end this fucking thing. Like, why not do it? Like, take some ownership. That's the thing that makes me the maddest about these fucking clowns is that they don't mind wreaking havoc on everybody, lying to everybody, stealing, grifting from everybody, trolling citizens after they're murdered, calling them terrorists. They don't mind doing all that shit. But when it comes to having to be accountable for doing it, they don't own it. Guys like him run from it.

That's right. And they have no victories to run off. I don't mean victories electorally. I mean, the reason, one of the reasons they got fucking blown out this election is because they had zero policy successes. All they are able to do now is put out statements saying how the things they did were bad and maybe that's why we lost this election. But don't worry, I didn't do it. This thing over there that I am not connected to.

That's right. I'm going to blame you too, Charlie, on all my profanity too, if you don't mind.

Deal. That's fine. I'll own that. I've got a potty mouth. And I'll use this to go into our final segment here, which is because of things like this, Republicans saw a massive shift of voters to Democrats on Tuesday, right? Including white people, not as large of a shift as we want, but some, but mainly young men. Kylie, can you roll the clip?

The younger generation, you saw the numbers. Under 30 swung like 32 points left, which is insane. And this younger generation, it's like as big as the baby boomers. You can't just forget about them. How do Republicans, I can't even believe I'm saying this, win back young men?

I'm not sure they do. And it's worse than people realize. 18 to 29-year-old young white men with no college degrees swung 40 points to the Democrats. And I don't think it's all because they're socialists. I think it's because many of them want to burn the Republican Party down.

Thank God. Something he actually says later in that clip is that one of the reasons that Tim Pool, the guy with the beanie covering his bald spot, who we discovered a couple of years ago, was on payroll by the Russians, he says later in that clip that he thinks one of the reasons that men started voting for Democrats is because that Republicans aren't nationalist enough. He basically goes on to say that because Trump started to cater towards immigrants, have too much empathy towards immigrants, that that's why they lost young men.

Well, if the voice of the Republican Party or some of the influencers or podcasters or guys like that little fucking twerp, you know, it's no wonder that they lost, you know, a shift in 30 or 40 points. If you're having to listen to idiots like that, and I don't know this guy, Tim Pool, is that what you said his name is? He's some right-wing nut or something. But I mean, he's not somebody I'd listen to for five seconds, nor do I think my sons would or other kids that I know. But aside from that, they just went too far. These right-wing nuts just went too far.

No, me too.

But young men like you, Charlie, ouch. But no, there are a lot that think that the Trump administration and their policies are unacceptable. And seriously, they are.

Well, yeah. And I also just think that, like, young men, just like everybody else, but young men were lied to and they feel lied to, right? And like, we talk about accountability. I've talked about this a lot. People like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Pool, the barstool crowd, like, they all need to be held accountable for leveraging their platforms to promote Trump and to pass along this messaging. But the other thing is, like, these are audiences of these male bro podcasters also who are not the most informed on politics because they're not necessarily seeking out politics.
