On this vote, the A's are 50, the Na's are 47.
Republicans in the United States Senate are turning against Donald Trump. What you saw right there.
“The Senate yesterday voting to discharge Senator Tim Caines around power's war resolution by a 50 to 47 vote, which was a major rebuk of Donald Trump's war.”
This is the Senate voting to block Donald Trump from having any more authority to prosecute this war against Iran this unlawful war.
It would still need to be passed in the House, then Donald Trump would still have veto power, but it is a very symbolic move that the Senate is saying that this isn't unlawful and unauthorized war.
Now to get this vote passed, four Republicans had to work with Democrats, and you had Senator Collins, Senator McCowsky, Senator Paul, and Senator Cassidy, notably Senator Cassidy, just lost his primary in Louisiana.
“When Donald Trump endorsed his competitor, Donald Trump has been attacking Senator Cassidy, and he is now caused Cassidy to basically lose his job because Cassidy voted to impeach and convict Donald Trump several years back.”
So Trump holds a grudge for that, and now Cassidy is striking back because Donald Trump attacked him. Also, Cassidy striking back against Donald Trump when it comes to funding of Trump's golden ball room, Cassidy is going to vote to block that. Also, as it relates to Donald Trump putting forward this $1.776 billion slush fund that Trump wants to give to January 6th insurrectionist, unlawfully stealing money from we, the people, the taxpayers, in a case that he's settling a lawsuit that he filed against his own IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion and he settled for $1.776.
But then, until the judge, there's a settlement that took our tax mayor money and is giving to January 6 insurrectionist.
“We're seeing Senator Cassidy, but also a lot of other Republicans. We'll talk about this in a moment.”
Trying to block that and saying, we don't support this at all. So stay tuned right there. One of the reasons that you're seeing Senate Republicans, particularly live it at Donald Trump is that he's been attacking these incumbent senators who Donald Trump feels are insufficiently loyal to him. So yesterday, you may have heard this news we reported here on the Midas Touch Network, Donald Trump endorsed the very corrupt Ken Paxton attorney general of Texas, who was impeached, but ultimately not convicted in the Texas legislature and Trump endorsed Paxton over the incumbent Senator Kornin and Kornin's been pretty loyal to Donald Trump.
And he's like, "Well, I'm highways after you." And anyway, the National Senate Republican Committee endorsed Kornin, the incumbent and they're putting millions of dollars to help Kornin, who they view as conservative guy in Paxton, the Republicans in the Senate believe will lose to James Tallarico, the Democratic candidate running for Senate in Texas. So Donald Trump announced his endorsement of Paxton yesterday, as the endorsement not of Kornin, as our editor in chief Ron Philip Kowski says, Trump endorses a serial fraudster and habitual adulterer Ken Paxton for Senate, because they have a lot in common.
And then you hear Donald Trump go, "The highly respected attorney general of Ken Paxton, America first Patriot." And someone who has always been extremely loyal to me in our amazing magamuman is running for the United States Senate. He's not a Patriot. He's not a highly respected attorney general. But anyway, Donald Trump endorses Paxton and then Senate Republicans were absolutely livid with Trump. Just as Andrew Dissiderio explains just now, Senator Wicker, Republican, remind, remain stone-faced appear to be intentional for about 20 seconds as he walked into lunch, and we asked him for his reaction.
Senator Murkowski says that Texas is now lost to Democrats, and she expects James Tallarico to win that seat. And as Dissiderio also explains, there it is. Trump's endorsement of Paxton over the incumbent Kornin in Texas is a nightmare scenario for Senate GOP leaders. And this is because lots of tens of millions of dollars has already been spent by the National Senate Republican Committee in order to prop up Kornin, their incumbent and their current colleague, and then Donald Trump supported Paxton, Paxton announced that I'm incredibly honored to have Donald Trump's complete and total endorsement.
As Dissiderio says, you know, there's past 24 hours, it's been one of those d...
And they expect to lose it now to Tallarico, they expect Tallarico to beat Paxton, if Paxton wins in the primary. Paxton saw us to win the primary.
But when Donald Trump picked someone in the primary, that person and the maga cult usually is the person that wins, Senator Murkowski of Alaska is also saying now this $1 billion that Donald Trump and other and maga Mike want to give Donald Trump for the ballroom, which they're calling ballroom security.
“Murkowski says this is not gonna fly. She's waiting until what's called the bird bath, and that is to determine if the Senate parliamentarian will allow certain things in a reconciliation bill to go through.”
The parliamentarian has previously blocked this funding for Trump's golden ballroom saying it violates the bird roll, also notably Donald Trump then demanded that Senator Thune, the Senate majority leader, fire the parliamentarian who's a nonpartisan person. And then Thune said, "I'm not firing the parliamentarian Donald, go and we're not firing, we just don't do that in the United States Senate." But now you have Murkowski saying that the $1 billion that they want to have go to this golden ballroom should just be going to other law enforcement priorities and not to this ballroom.
Senator Cassidy who lost his primary over the weekend because Trump endorsed Cassidy's competitor told Igor Bobbick the following, "They don't have a bid regarding the ballroom.
“They don't have a bid, they don't have engineering, they don't have architecture, they just kind of made that number up a billion dollars.”
So from what I know now, I will not be voting for the ballroom fund." Also, Senate GOP leader John Thune criticized Donald Trump's proposed weaponization fund the $1.776 billion fund that Trump did by filing a personal lawsuit against the government for $10 billion.
It also includes a settlement release that says that Donald Trump can never be audited, and that any potential tax crimes or tax violations he committed, he gets full immunity for.
Really, why would you get full immunity? I mean, just think about the level of corruption there. Thune says the following about Trump's $1 billion, $1.8 billion fund. I'm not a big fan, and I'm not sure exactly how they intend to use it. I don't see a purpose for that, just go through some facts. So this was Senator Bill Cassidy, forgot the receipts, taking a jab at Donald Trump about losing the 2020 election, and Cassidy's concession speech in the primaries. Let's play this clip. I'd never participate in democracy, and when you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you want it to, but you don't have. You don't mind. You don't claim that election was stolen. You don't find a reason for that.

That's selectquote.com/mitis. Then you had Senator Coran in Texas. He spoke out after Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton and Coran in described this as basically by endorsing Paxton it will be an albatross around the neck of our candidates in Toleriko is likely going to win play this clip.
We've always had these family fights within the Republican Party and then we unify in order to win the election in November and we'll do that again.
“But I believe that in terms of our success in November that Ken Paxton would be an albatross around the neck of our candidates and would likely lose to James Toleriko.”
I think we've come too far and worked too hard to risk that. Then Donald Trump sent out his enforcer Scott Pressler's the new MAGA enforcer and they send this guy he's like there he's their hammer right now and so he's out there mocking Bill Cassidy for losing the primary because Pressler and Trump and the MAGA men were the enforcers and they got Cassidy out and so watch what Pressler has to say here let's play this clip. Everybody this is Scott Pressler breaking news Senator Bill Cassidy has been defeated today on May 16th.
This is a shot peacefully across the bow to our Senate majority leadership and for him to come in third place shows that the people are not happy with the leadership.
And then while it happened adjacent in the House of Representatives you had Donald Trump endorsed Tom endorsed Masses Congress member Masses opponent because Republican opponent because Massi helped release the Epstein files and Donald Trump and the MAGA's are pro Epstein. They're part of the Epstein class so they went after Massi and Massi also had a warning to the you know to Trump and his crew which is if you saw what I've been able to accomplish so far in the first six months of this year I still have seven months I'm going to be a Congress member.
So just wait until you see what I do to you guys here play this clip.
“And we need we need basic decency we need basic decency that's what the Epstein files transparency act was all about by the way today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein files transparency act.”
We've taken out 2 dozen CEOs an ambassador of France, a prime minister, a minister of culture and that was just six months I got seven months left in Congress. Then our Pablo Monriquez might as touch network DC correspondent they able to speak to Senator Mike rounds and Mike rounds also said that not a fan of the $1.8 billion fund that Trump setting up for January 6th insurrectionists play this clip.
Any reactions is this $1.7 billion fund from the IRS for we haven't seen the details on it yet.
Okay, most certainly we would have heard of me that Congress will have some say because there's an appropriation of funds someplace along the line. But right now it's not a waiting for details from the White House to come up. Okay, so you have got any documents or anything like that. More from Senator Thune right here about how personally disappointed he is that Donald Trump is not endorsing corn and let's play this clip. Given that you've spent months trying to encourage persuade the president to endorse John corn and Texas primary and given that the NRSC has invested heavily to help corn and win that primary.
“How personally disappointed or frustrated are you with the president's decision to endorse Ken Paxon today?”
Well, I think you all know my position on this issue I've made it very clear for months now. And Senator Cornan is a principal conservative. He is a very effective senator for the state of Texas and but I don't know if it's controlled with the president does he made his decision about that.
That doesn't change the way I feel.
And I am certainly supportive of a continue to be supportive of Senator Cornan in his relationship.
“And then finally as Andrew Desiderio explains quoting our asin over at the mightest touch network asin works for us.”
Desiderio says this quote that asin captured from vans is being talked about by some GOP senators right now who take issue with the Trump regime attacking cornan for not being there for Donald Trump. Cornan was like the main Republican whip he whipped up all the votes for Donald Trump during the first two years of Trump's first term to get all of those supreme court nominees through.
And here's what JD van said let's play.
“Good to see you Mr. Vice President. Thank you.”
Today we saw the president indoors can't text and overdrawn cornan in the Texas Senate race. Do you think that sends a message going forward for the next cycle to senators you know considering running for reelection or any medical line potential candidates that are considering challenging them.
Why say a couple things Nick for first of all the presence very gratified by the response that he's heard from the base and from a lot of voters.
And we're passionate about kin packs in we think in packs and is going to be a great senator for the people of Texas but most importantly a great united states senator who can work on solving the problems that all of us confront as a country together. I've known John Cornan for a long time, but unfortunately you know when when it really counted kin packs and was there for the country was there for the president and that's why he ultimately earned the president's endorsement he thinks he's going to be a better senator.
I think he's going to make a better candidate and so I do think it sends a message but really not just the endorsement but one of the things the president has done very effectively going back ten years in his leadership of the Republican party and the country. As president United States as he said you know I want people who fight for the good I want people who can't be bought by corporate lobbyists who can't be bought by Wall Street who can't be bought by special interests who are going to go to Washington and fight for the people who actually elected them to those positions and I think one of the things we've seen in the Republican party.
“While I can't say that all of our representatives are perfect or all of our senators are perfect we have seen a much better crop of talent come into Washington since Donald Trump has been the leader of the party and the leader of the movement.”
I do think we're going to continue to see that happening but I think the message that people should take from this is fundamentally you have got to serve the people who sent you and if you don't do that you're going to find yourself out of step with voters or out of step with the president United States and that's not a good place to be politically.
So there you have it folks. So it's going on in the house and the Senate right now in Congress. Let me know what you think hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million everybody. Thanks for watching.
