The entire Republican House conference has been thrown into utter chaos. As I reported earlier, Donald Trump ordered Speaker of the House, Maga Mike Johnson, to fire Mike Turner, Republican congressman who chaired the House Intelligence Committee. Turner was a big supporter of NATO, a big supporter of Ukraine. Trump wanted him gone.

84.654 - 109.612 Ben Meiselas

This sent shockwaves throughout the Republican conference in the House of Representatives because for some reason they believed there was going to be this, quote, reconciliation agenda and bring the Five families of the Republican Party together. Turner being fired and pushed out. He's been a Congress member since 2003. Very well-liked, kind of a bipartisan guy.

109.632 - 129.79 Ben Meiselas

I didn't like Turner, but having Turner in the intelligence community... or in the Intelligence Committee and chairing it was something that was beneficial for all Americans, regardless of what your politics are. But now the MAGA Republicans are fractured totally. You know, what they keep trying to sell to their base to keep them going are the gimmicks, right?

129.87 - 148.304 Ben Meiselas

Like what Donald Trump say he was going to do in the past 48 hours. He goes, oh, oh. Now I'm going to create an external revenue service when I tariff all of these nations, even though tariffs are taxes on American companies. Donald Trump says, we're going to have the external revenue service collect that money. What are you even talking about?

148.645 - 170.517 Ben Meiselas

So you've got MAGA people like this guy on Twitter saying, Trump to abolish the IRS and create an external revenue service. This has huge potential for the American people to prosper. To which the comments, even from MAGA people were like, When are the eggs going down? You're not in his tax bracket. Other MAGA Republicans are waking up to this as well.
