Transcript:
Welcome back from Thanksgiving, everybody.
The administration is facing a major crisis at the top. Republicans and Democrats alike are expressing alarm over a report that suggests that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a follow-up strike to kill survivors in the water after an initial missile strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug boat led to some survivors in the water.
Now that may be a war crime, and Senator Tim Kaine and others are saying that it is. When Donald Trump was asked about it, he tried to distance himself, and I believe he’s setting up Pete Hegseth to take the fall.
Meanwhile, there are exploding concerns about Donald Trump’s mental stability. These have reached a fever pitch. Many lawmakers are now demanding Donald Trump release the results of that MRI. Trump referring to Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” over the weekend and showing other signs of cognitive collapse.
And the episode today also will touch on the financial disaster that this administration has been for many in Trump’s base. I don’t mean because of the tariffs. I mean the people that got scammed, conned and grifted into investing into things like Trump’s Media and Technology Group, Trump coin, Melania coin and others, so we have the full analysis today.
It’s great to be back.
