Why is Pete Hegset’s mother demanding nuclear codes for her son?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
So we've now reached the point in Donald Trump's disastrous transition where the mommy of one of the key cabinet picks is saying, please give my son the nuclear codes. And I promise you, if you give him the nukes, he'll stop being an alcoholic. He'll stop drinking. Trust me, all that stuff was in the past. He's gonna be a good guy. I mean, when you really want to know what DEI Means in the MAGA sense, it's didn't earn it. And Trump's got the real DEI picks. We'll break it down. Also, we see uh this doge committee, this fake agency created by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. They met exclusively. With MAGA Republicans. Well, I don't know how you can give this Doge committee the benefit of the doubt about anything.
Ben Meiselas 0:47
They refuse to meet with Democrats. They just met with Republicans and they're out there leaking. We're gonna cut the veterans' benefits. Oh, we're gonna gut your education. We're gonna make you squeal. And it does seem though right now there is this F around and find out moment right now, which I I don't love the F around and find out stuff because it still means people are feeling pain and just as a human being, I don't like to see people feel pain, but I hope it's becoming increasingly obvious that all of the things that you're upset about, a lot of them, are being caused by people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and their entire ilk. Doesn't it seem like the oligarchical billionaires are like doing a victory lap in our faces and like quite literally spiking the football in our face?
Ben Meiselas 1:42
Our end zone in our faces, pointing their fingers at us and laughing. I just think that we, the people, aren't going to take it. And I think people are wising up now. Again, a little bit too late, but it's important that we channel the energy in the right direction about all of these things that we are seeing. Also, more of Donald Trump's cabinet picks are quitting or leaving or being forced out. We saw his. pick for the drug enforcement agency, the DEA, he committed the cardinal sin in MAGA. There was video of him from a few years back saying that he supports pride parades where he was a sheriff uh in Florida. You can't do that if you're gonna go MAGA. Wild sex trafficking allegations? A okay, but If you're ever supportive of being inclusive in a community where you're a sheriff, get out of here.
Ben Meiselas 2:34
It's ridiculous stuff. I shouldn't even it's not even funny. It's like really sicko stuff, but we gotta really focus on what's going on. Um, and also want to talk about how Donald Trump is pushing our allies closer to our trade adversaries. Yeah, you know, when you threaten tariffs and you bully people. Um, you may just start pushing people like the Mexico president Claudius Scheinbaum to strengthen their ties to places like China. You may actually be strengthening the BRICS block made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, uh, and others when um you have Russia and you have uh China. telling uh the other BRICS members you can't trust the United States. They're just gonna arbitrarily hit you with tariffs and then Donald Trump does just that.
Ben Meiselas 3:27
We'll talk about that and more. This is the Mightest Touch podcast. I'm Ben Mysell is joined by Brett and Jordy. So uh good to be here. And there just does feel to be with each passing day, I think a broader recognition of what's really going on here. Like, okay, uh too late, but these oligarchs seem to just be kind of mocking us, like they're like spitting in our faces.
Mat Nuclear 3:54
Yeah, I think in a way that they almost misunderstand what kind of brought them into power right now. And I think their kind of cockiness is ultimately going to backfire on them because I think one of the big lessons um that we've seen from this election and from the past few years, quite frankly, is that there is this discontent that has been brewing in the country, a discontent against elites, a discontent against those In power. And that is what helped usher Donald Trump and people like Elon Musk into these positions, even these fake positions like Elon Musk has.
