Transcript of Republicans Erupt in Chaos and Prepare for Impeachment!

There's so much to get to today. The races are still being counted, the historic wins down the ballot, the Republican civil war over who takes the blame, and a new report why Trump suddenly decided his deportation agenda went "a bit too far," and it has to do with Melania. If you can, as always, hit that subscribe button. We did something that no one thought was possible. Millions of you chose independent media over cable news, and the next 2 years are about to be the most consequential in modern American history. We're going to have Jamie Rask in this afternoon tell you about what the judiciary is going to do to investigate the Trump family and those around the White House.

So if you can, subscribe, like, comment, share. And let's—let's begin with what is happening right now in Washington, D.C., because Republicans say that the dam is breaking. Right now, Republicans are planning to join Democrats to impeach Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense. At the same time, Vice President Vance has openly broken from the President of the United States. According to new reporting from Fox News, there was a meeting yesterday at the White House with the goal of aligning JD Vance with the administration on post-midterm messaging.

But after the huddle, Vice President Vance sent out the Twitter post breaking with Donald Trump on the war in Iran and foreign policy generally. So what Vance is doing now is trying to seek a new alliance with disaffected Trump voters after the crushing midterm losses. He wants to message to the, quote, "new right," which includes changing the nature of America's relationship with Israel. On the congressional front, meanwhile, the impeachment of Pete Hegseth is full steam ahead right now. Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced a resolution that will get a vote as soon as next week to impeach Pete Hegseth in the United States House of Representatives.

I yield back.

When they get back into session next week, there will be 218 signatures on the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2.0, guaranteeing a vote on the legislation. It'll allow survivors to go after various attorneys general across the country, including the United States Attorney General Todd Blanche. It'll allow state and local officials to go after Todd Blanche as well for the failure to release various files. And it'll set the stage for mounting investigations that Democrats expect to bring when they take over in January.

Now, Democrats are taking over, by the way. The question now is only by how large. And I want to run through some of the races that are still uncalled, starting with Mississippi. Democrat Scott Caloan is now leading Cindy Hyde-Smith by several hundred votes—actually, more, several thousand votes, about 1,100 votes based on the current tally. Democrats haven't won a Senate seat in Mississippi since 1982. Trump carried the state by 22 points.

If Scott Caloan wins, he'll be the first Black senator elected from Mississippi since 1875. And his story is—it's remarkable. He's a seventh-generation Mississippian. We interviewed him on the show. His father was a Republican who campaigned for Ronald Reagan. In 2015, he became the first Black district attorney for Mississippi's 16th Circuit, unseating an incumbent who held the job for nearly 30 years. Mississippi currently has no recount law, and so there's going to be a major legal battle. The key date here is November 10, in just 5 days.

That is when the ballots will officially—everything will be certified, all the provisional ballots, all the absentee ballots, any errors, everything will be done within 5 days. We will probably know the result of this race before November 10. And if I was a betting man, I would bet hard on Scott Caloan winning this race and flipping Mississippi blue. I also spoke with Kirsten Gillibrand yesterday, who helped recruit Scott Caloan into this race, and she seemed very confident on our call. And then there's Alaska. In Alaska, Mary Peltola still leads Dan Sullivan by about 600 votes.

A little more than three-quarters of the vote tally has been counted. Mail ballots from remote parts of Alaska can take up to 15 days after Election Day to come in, because, I mean, you're talking about a state that doesn't have much—many roads that lead to, like, for example, Fairbanks. It takes—or even higher up in Alaska, closer to the North Pole—it takes a long time to count votes in the state. And also, the state has what is called ranked choice voting. So if no one gets 50% of the vote—and right now it looks increasingly likely that no one will get 50% of the vote—they go to ranked choice, which can take a while.

She's trailing Eileen Lawbacher by more than 2,000 votes, a 19-point swing since 2024. There are still many votes to be counted there that could potentially tilt this back into Boebert's favor. But remember, this is a district that Boebert literally moved into to run because it was more favorable than her prior district, and, well, she's about to lose it. So we'll have to see what happens there. Now, on the Republican front, this right here is every tweet that Laura Loomer has put out in the past 24 hours. Probably there are probably even more now, over 130.

This is kind of the perception right now among Republicans. They're just freaking out about what the future holds. And what the future could hold is the fact that we're not going to have as much immigration surging in the United States of America. And if you want to know why, it could very well be because of Melania Trump. According to the Wall Street Journal, Melania Trump privately has been complaining to Trump and his advisors because she knows people who are now getting deported. And so Donald Trump told aides that Stephen Miller has now gone too far with the deportation effort. That is real. It took—it wasn't until that it was impacting the Trump family that they realized, hey, maybe this is going too far.

But remember, it remains to be seen whether that's the case. And also, just moments ago, Russell Brand has been convicted of rape in a—in a London courtroom and faces significant prison time. So that's the news right now. We'll have plenty of updates throughout the day. Make sure to subscribe, support this work, like, comment, share, and I'll see you soon.
