    Trump Defends Jensen Huang As Chinese Spy Scandal Rocks Nvidia

    Donald Trump was told a year ago that a suspected Chinese spy had direct access to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and he chose not to act. In a gaggle in West Palm Beach, Florida, he defended Huang, said he probably has an excuse, and offered to bring him along on next week’s trip to China, even as Nvidia’s board opens an independent investigation and Huang admits in a memo to staff that he was unfaithful to his wife. In the same gaggle, Trump threatened to investigate Democratic donors, called Pete Hegseth guilty of winning two wars, and contradicted his own count of American soldiers killed in Iran within 30 seconds. All of it lands as Republican Congressman Thomas Massie moves to force a House vote on impeaching Hegseth, with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries a hard yes.

    Todd Blanche Says Democrat Investigations Of Trump Could Be A Crime

    Attorney General Todd Blanche told Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union that Democrats talking about investigations and impeachment could be a crime. His answer came one day after Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democratic members of Congress and called for their imprisonment over what he labeled extortion. Trump named Senator Elissa Slotkin in his posts and told Republican donors to report Democrats directly to him. Blanche claimed he welcomes congressional oversight, then spent the rest of the interview explaining why exercising it might be criminal. Incoming House Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia has promised investigations into Elon Musk, the Trump family’s business deals, ICE, and the Epstein scandal. Republican James Comer spent the weekend announcing his own investigations into Democrats without anyone calling that a crime. Trump also declared victory in Alaska’s uncalled Senate race while Mary Peltola leads Dan Sullivan in the count. Then he offered the White House press secretary job to UFC boss Dana White and asked him to bring foreign fighters along as assistants.

    Stephen Miller Takes Over The White House And The DOJ Volunteers To Be His Lawyer

    Donald Trump answered a historic midterm defeat by pushing out chief of staff Susie Wiles in Washington and handing the White House to Stephen Miller, the architect of his mass deportation agenda. His own party is furious. Senator Thom Tillis called the move a colossal mistake, and Congressman Don Bacon says Miller cost Republicans many seats on Tuesday. Then Attorney General Todd Blanche went on Fox News and volunteered himself and the entire Justice Department as Stephen Miller's lawyer after Oversight Democrat Robert Garcia warned Miller to lawyer up. At Trump's club in Palm Beach, Florida, Miller pledged his absolute loyalty to Trump personally, not to the Constitution. Democrats take control of Congress in January with subpoena power, and the White House is already threatening the people who won it. This episode breaks down the biggest White House shakeup since the midterms and what it means for the next two years.

    Tim Pool Tells Fox News Young Men Want To Burn The Republican Party Down

    Jesse Watters asked Tim Pool how Republicans win back young men, and Pool’s answer was that maybe they don’t. Two nights after Democrats flipped seven Senate seats and took back the House, a MAGA podcaster sat on Fox News and told the audience that young men want to burn the Republican Party down. Every number in this episode comes from Fox News itself. The Fox News Voter Poll shows young men swinging 48 points from Trump in 2024 to Democrats in 2026, voters under 30 backed Democrats nearly three to one, and Alaska and Mississippi are still counting votes that could make the wave even bigger.

    Trump Admires His Ballroom While His Party Lies in Ruins

    Donald Trump’s first public appearance after the midterm wipeout was a photo op at the White House in Washington, DC, where he stopped mid answer to watch a steel beam go up on his ballroom. While voters were telling him they can’t afford groceries, he was bragging that his new party room is bulletproof, missile proof, and drone proof. In this episode, we cover his denial of the Iran promise he made on camera in Dallas, JD Vance blaming the entire loss on the war, Ron DeSantis calling the night close to an extinction level event, and Ted Cruz admitting Texas is blue. We also break down Trump’s demand that Alaska hand its Senate seat to Dan Sullivan before the ranked choice count happens on November 18, and why the law says the voters decide, not him.

    Trump Isn’t Having A Great Wednesday Post Midterms

    Democrats made history in Austin, Texas and across the country last night. Gina Hinojosa defeated Greg Abbott to become the first Democratic governor of Texas in more than three decades, and James Talarico beat Ken Paxton for the first Democratic Senate win in the state since 1988. It was the party’s first statewide victory in Texas in 32 years, and Fox News had to announce both calls on its own air. Paxton’s controversies, from his 2023 impeachment to his New Year’s Eve in Dubai, proved too much for even Texas Republicans to carry. Nationally, Democrats took back the House and the Senate in a single night, flipping seven Senate seats held by Republicans, including Susan Collins in Maine. Donald Trump told voters to treat the midterms like he was on the ballot, and now he’s telling Fox News he wasn’t on it at all. One note: the script’s line about Democrats having “knocked out sitting Republican senators” holds up (Collins lost, and Ohio’s appointed incumbent fell), so nothing in the script needs a correction before filming.

    Trump Says He’ll Move To Israel And Become Prime Minister If Americans Get Tired Of Him — On The Morning Of The Midterms

    President Trump called into Fox & Friends from Washington on the morning of the midterm elections and claimed a 99% approval rating in Israel. He then said he would move to Israel and become prime minister if Americans ever got tired of him. The night before, he told Sean Hannity the conflict with Iran is a very soft war and asked when the last time was that we fired anything. Hours around that same interview, the United States military bombed Qeshm Island, the home base of Iran’s naval power in the Strait of Hormuz, in strikes officials called limited and defensive. He told voters there is no war on the same night his military was bombing one. Get full access to Democratic Reporter at democraticreporter.substack.com/subscribe

    Trump Smears Pastor Adam Hamilton At His Final Rally Because The Pastor Is Winning Kansas

    Donald Trump closed out his midterm campaign in Salina, Kansas last night, and he used his final rally to smear Pastor Adam Hamilton from the podium. He told the crowd Hamilton’s record “is like a trans person,” called him a “radical left lunatic,” and admitted it’s much easier to attack somebody who’s been unsupportive of him. The reason he flew to Kansas at all is that the pastor is winning. The final New York Times and Siena poll has Hamilton ahead of Senator Roger Marshall 49% to 44% in a state where Democrats haven’t won a Senate race since 1932. The same poll shows James Talarico leading Ken Paxton 50% to 43% in Texas. Two of the reddest states in the country are slipping away, and this episode breaks down what Trump said, why he said it, and what the numbers show heading into Tuesday.
