He is setting himself and his family up to be shielded for decades if we don't do something about it now to stop it while he's still in office.

Yeah, audit the White House, because I mean, we know there's untold amounts of corruption going on.

And, you know, audit the Fed, I think, was actually a politically powerful issue for Republican primaries back in the day.

Audit the White House should be that much more powerful because Donald Trump is so clearly trying to evade that accountability right now with this demand for protection from any audits in the future.

Yeah, I have no illusions that the Republicans on their own would do anything to confront or stop Trump from pursuing these items.

But if it becomes so politically toxic and the Democrats, the media, voters,

don't allow them to escape the issue, I actually think there's a chance.

I mean, there's too much coming down upon them.

Donald Trump's polling is in the basement right now.

They all know this.

And I do think the back-to-back endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn and then the thug fund details coming out, that had a weird back-to-back dynamic that I do think caused more anger on the Hill than usual.

I think they thought he was going to stay out of the Texas race.

But then endorsing Ken Paxton and sending a member potentially to the Senate.

So it was so clearly ethically flawed over someone who has been there.

How long has John Cornyn been there?

I think a number of members took more personally in a way that, you know, the defeat of like a Tom Tillis or Bill Cassidy didn't have.

Yeah, I think there's a potential for this group of disaffected Republican senators to actually do something on the way out.

And let's put Tom Massey in that category.

Right.

I mean, in his concession speech, he essentially said, I have seven more months left.
