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 former Editor in chief Ron Philip Kowski posted the following Only a bumbling, moronic, incompetent idiot would think that Matt Gates would ever be confirmed by the Senate. Oh look, here's that idiot Ron Philip Kowski wrote about Donald Trump who made this post after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name for consideration as Attorney General. Donald Trump posted the following I greatly appreciate recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well, but at the same time did not want 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 Cheney 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 nominated in 1815, which lasted one day. Matt Gaetz lasted eight days. That's about point 73. Scaramouche 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 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 Gaetz 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 Hag Sith on Capitol Hill where he says. Just listen to what he says. Play the clip.
Capitol Hill Reporter
We take absolutely nothing for granted and we open the opportunity to talk to any senator that wants to talk to us.
Political Analyst
Since you sexually assault a woman in Monterey, California, I have.
Capitol Hill Reporter
As far as the media's concern 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. Thank you very much.
Political Commentator
Did you hear what he said? There he goes. As far as the media is concerned, that 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 like, likeness to and selling. Here, play this clip. Especially the mini Trump drones, you know, for kids are gonna really appreciate it, but it's gonna be pretty cool. If you guys are doing some toy shopping, check them out. Wow. Trump drones. I mean, 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 fifteen hundred dollars. Disgraceful and embarrass. Embarrassing just for everyone, frankly. But I guess it's time for the real attorney general nominee for Donald Trump. It's haba time. Play this clip. I'll tell you something. Somebody said to me, alina, would you rather be. 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, 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 Brazilians, 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 Philip Kowski said, start 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, allegations against Matt Gaetz 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.
Political Analyst
I understand what you're saying about Pete Hexath and I'm going to follow up on that in just a second. But on Matt Gaetz, you know, I take your point about who Trump did not. 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 precedent that I laid out.
Republican Spokesperson
The American people knew the kind of mandate they were giving 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 Gates who's going to drive change.

And so 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 Green saying to the other Republicans, if you didn't support Matt Gates and if you're calling for Matt Gates 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 woman'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 Philip Kowski wrote, the T is for transgender. From this phony attention starved anger tainment performance artist. Here's what Nancy Mace wrote. June 4, 2021. The pandemic kept us all from fully celebrating pride here in low country 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. And it's gaslight. It's real gaslighting. She goes, I've lost almost 30 pounds in the last 12 months. 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 left's 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. So the 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. So 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. Um, 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 attacks on Americans. We're seeing Walmart target other retailers say, 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 to 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, 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. What in the world is going on? Let's not make this political. Let's make it about human beings. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 4 million. Love this video.

Episode: Trump Gets HUMILIATED on Capitol Hill with BAD NEWS
Release Date: November 22, 2024
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers dive deep into the escalating political turmoil surrounding former President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill. Combining sharp political analysis with their signature brotherly banter, the trio unpacks a series of events that have not only embarrassed Trump but also exposed significant fractures within the Republican Party.
Matt Gaetz's Attorney General Nomination
The episode begins with a focus on Trump’s beleaguered nomination process, particularly the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz's candidacy for Attorney General amidst serious allegations.
Political Commentator (01:16):
"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."
Former Editor-in-Chief Ron Philip Kowski labels Gaetz as a "bumbling, moronic, incompetent idiot," highlighting the 0.73-day tenure of Gaetz’s nomination.
Ron Philip Kowski (01:54):
"Only a bumbling, moronic, incompetent idiot would think that Matt Gates would ever be confirmed by the Senate."
Trump’s statement on Gaetz's withdrawal was met with skepticism, suggesting that allegations of child sex trafficking were a significant distraction.
Peter Hegseth’s Controversial Nomination
Moving forward, the hosts discuss Trump’s nomination of Peter Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, emphasizing Hegseth’s lack of qualifications and serious misconduct allegations.
Political Commentator (04:10):
"He claims the incident was consensual and that he was completely cleared, but clearly, that’s not the case."
Hegseth faces accusations of sexual assault from a 2017 incident, undermining his suitability for a top defense position.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Threats
Marjorie Taylor Greene emerges as a central figure in escalating tensions within the GOP, threatening to expose Republican colleagues' ties to Jeffrey Epstein and other misconducts.
Political Commentator (09:37):
"Marjorie Taylor Green saying to the other Republicans, if you didn't support Matt Gates and if you're calling for Matt Gates 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 were being covered up now."
Greene's aggressive stance aims to force transparency but also exposes deep-seated issues within the party.
Nancy Mace’s Hypocrisy on Transgender Rights
The episode criticizes Nancy Mace for attacking Congresswoman McBride over transgender bathroom rights, pointing out her past supportive statements for LGBTQ+ communities.
Political Commentator (09:37):
"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."
Her response to criticism reveals a pattern of gaslighting and shifting blame, undermining her credibility.
Nancy Mace’s 2021 Statement Highlighted (09:37):
"The pandemic kept us all from fully celebrating pride here in low country 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."
RFK Jr.’s Former Babysitter Claims
The brothers shed light on disturbing allegations against RFK Jr., revealing that his former babysitter has come forward with claims of sexual assault.
Political Commentator (09:37):
"We're also learning about RFK Jr's former babysitter speaking out about the times he sexually assaulted her."
These revelations further tarnish the reputations of already controversial political figures.
Impact of Tariffs and Mortgage Rates
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the economic fallout from Trump's policies, particularly tariffs and their effect on everyday Americans.
Political Commentator (12:45):
"Donald Trump's lies already being exposed right away. Number one, he said tariffs not a tax on Americans. Of course they are attacks on Americans."
The brothers argue that Trump's tariffs have led to increased prices, affecting consumers and contributing to rising mortgage rates.
Political Commentator (14:20):
"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."
Despite Trump's promises to lower mortgage rates, the reality shows a stark contrast with rates on the rise.
United Stance Against Corruption
Concluding the episode, the Meiselas brothers urge listeners to recognize and combat the systemic issues within the Republican Party, emphasizing the importance of holding leaders accountable.
Political Commentator (15:00):
"There's multiple people Trump are picking who have these sex assault allegations against them. What in the world is going on? Let's not make this political. Let's make it about human beings."
The brothers stress that the focus should be on human rights and ethical governance rather than partisan politics.
In this episode, The MeidasTouch Podcast offers a comprehensive and critical examination of the recent embarrassments and controversies surrounding Donald Trump and the Republican Party on Capitol Hill. Through incisive analysis and compelling quotes, the Meiselas brothers highlight the urgent need for accountability and integrity in American politics.
