Why is Donald Trump being humiliated on Capitol Hill this week?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
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 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 Gates 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 to be a distraction for the administration.
Ben Meiselas 0:46
Hmm, distraction. That's one way of saying very 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 War nominated in 1815, which lasted one day. Matt Gates lasted eight days. That's about.73 Scaramucci's 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.
Ben Meiselas 1:37
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 report 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 Gates 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.

What happened to Matt Gaetz’s short‑lived Attorney General nomination?

Ben Meiselas 2:29
Here's Heggsith. Exith on Capitol Hill, where he says, just listen to what he says, play the clip.
Unknown 2:34
We take absolutely nothing for granted uh and we welcome the opportunity to talk to any senator uh that wants to talk to us. Did you sexually assault a woman in Monterey, California? I have uh as far as the media is concerned, uh I'll keep this very simple. The matter was fully investigated and I was completely clear, and that's where I'm gonna leave it. Thank you very much.
Ben Meiselas 2:53
Did you hear what he said there? He goes, as far as the media is concerned, the 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. uh talking about some more Trump products that I guess they are licensing Donald Trump's name, image and likeness to and selling. Here play this clip.
Unknown 3:20
Especially uh the mini Trump drones, uh, you know, for kids who are gonna really appreciate it, but it's gonna be pretty cool if you guys are doing some toy shopping, check 'em out.
Ben Meiselas 3:29
Wow, Trump drones. How embarrassing is this? They're selling Trump drones? They're selling Trump guitars? Did you see that? I reported on this yesterday.

How did Peter Hegseth’s past rape allegation become a Senate showdown?

Ben Meiselas 3:42
Donald Trump's making post about buy your Trump guitar for $1,500? How disgraceful and 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.
Unknown 3:59
Oh sorry, I'll me I'll tell you something. Somebody said to me Аліна, водію рада би Would you rather be smart or pretty? And I said, Oh, easy. Pretty. I can fake being smart.
Ben Meiselas 4:14
I 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 if he picked Alina Haba? By the way, Donald Trump getting more uh bad news today as he found out that one of his closest allies, a fellow insurrectionist Brazilian's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, has been indicted over his knowledge of a coup plot to kill.
