Surprise shakeup rocks White House - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen



Transcript:

a major shakeup consumes the White House
and on National Day of Prayer no less
yep even God can't get a break from the
chaos this is just another
day today the White House celebrated the
National Day of Prayer it was a chance
for people of all religions to gather as
one and watch as our nation's president
honored that steadfast belief that faith
can have a place in our country while
still respecting the separation of
church and state they say separation
between church and state they told me i
said "All right let's forget about that
for one time." We said "Really the
separation i don't know is that a good
thing or a bad thing i'm not sure." Or
not apparently Trump has moved on from
breaking most of the Ten Commandments to
breaking our constitutional amendments
specifically the first one but that
didn't stop his guest from literally
singing his praises
how
sweet the sound do you notice how Trump
is the only one not singing he thinks
he's their god or and this could very
well be true he just doesn't know the
words
pretty amazing that we found the one
thing to shut Trump up when he actually
has to do the religious stuff that he
pretends to know so well now while today
everyone at the White House got their
prayer on yesterday inside of Trump's
airtight echo chamber every member of
the cabinet showered their Supreme
Leader with praise as verbal proof that
their loyalty to him is second to none
and that included this guy mr president
the last uh four years the world
experienced a total lack of zero
leadership under under Biden uh and then
we've had a 100 days of your leadership
with with respect uh with strength
starting with they'll be all hell to pay
it's an honor uh to serve you in this
administration uh and I think the world
is far better far safer uh for it that
right there is Mike Waltz a man who
clearly hoped kissing the boss's ass
would save his own unfortunately those
kisses could have probably used a little
bit more tongue national Security
Adviser Mike Waltz is expected to leave
his post in the Trump administration yep
in the least revoly news since Trump won
yet another golf tournament at his own
golf course the president fired Mike
Waltz today waltz of course a guy who's
been a politician a businessman an
author a Green Beret yet became most
famous for accidentally including a
journalist on a signal group chat that
included top secret war plans man it's
got to be tough when you become famous
for the dumbest thing you do right like
I don't know being the kiss of death to
a beloved pope and it looks like Waltz
has not been able to kick the signal
habit just yet because this is a shot
from literally yesterday that shows
Waltz checking signal during the cabinet
meeting the man is an addict in a few
weeks someone's going to find Mike
Walt's unshaven wandering through DC
alleyways offering to do anything for
one quick group chat also I got to say
as far as getting busted for being on
the wrong app in a 2-hour long cabinet
session Waltz got off easy you know that
if Matt Gates had been in there he'd be
scouring Facebook for photos of 2025's
high school graduating class now
everybody has known that Waltz has been
on thin ice for some time now and
clearly Trump didn't just wake up today
with the idea of firing him which makes
Walt's recent trip with the president
even more damning there was a moment
that CNN saw on Tuesday when the
president was going to Michigan on his
100 days in office and Mike Waltz we
noticed traveled on Marine One with him
but 10 minutes later you see it in Joint
Base Andrews that's his figure he does
not get on Air Force One brutal can you
think of anything worse than traveling
with somebody and then getting dumped
during the connecting flight and WS was
at an air base dude couldn't even cry
over a plate of fajitas in airport chili
he just had to wander the tarmac and
wait for his Uber so it's not surprising
that Trump fired somebody over this
signal fiasco but what is surprising is
that it wasn't Pete Hegathth waltz
accidentally added a journalist to the
group chat hegath intentionally added
everybody who's ever been to his house
for Thanksgiving and while Mike Wallace
may have been ditched at that airport
somebody else got to make it to his
final destination the defense secretary
Pete Hexath is on the plane and he flew
to Michigan with the president man
that's got to hurt and you know Pete
took a lot of pleasure in eating Walt's
bag of peanuts too but instead of
completely firing Mike Waltz Trump has
apparently given him the consolation
prize of being his new ambassador to the
UN a place that this president has
openly ridiculed so Waltz didn't even
get the joy of not having to work for
Trump anymore he's just got lower status
and less access to the president but
more distance from Daddy Trump can only
mean one thing more time for group chats
baby but replacing Mike Waltz or should
I say simply adding Waltz's job to his
is Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
this transition was clearly communicated
as illustrated today by State Department
spokesperson Tammy Bruce secretary of
State Marco Rubio will serve as National
Security Adviser while continuing his
strong leadership at the State
Department do you know how long Yeah
he's going to be serving in both roles
it is clear that I just heard this from
you i had I this is the the magic no
heads up that this Well I I have uh some
insights some insights we all have some
insights but you're supposed to have uh
slightly more that's why you get a
podium and we don't but what is truly
sad about all of this is that like
everyone else Mike Wallace did the same
loyalty dance as everybody else who's
ever been tapped to join Trump's orbit i
could tell you for 100% I don't know
this guy i know him by his horrible
reputation and he really is the bottom
scum of journalists uh and I know him in
the sense that he hates the president we
made a mistake we're moving forward and
we're going to continue to knock it out
of the park for this president i am
fortunate to work for this president i
am fortunate to help him execute this
vision and incredibly fortunate to have
this team around him gh I haven't seen a
grown man dease himself like that since
yesterday and for what to get in the
good graces of a guy who will turn on
you and cast you aside whenever he feels
like it talk about pathetic yesterday
Marco Rubio literally matched outfits
with his boss which in his defense it
was bring your lap dog to work day but
this is not a new phenomenon with Trump
loyalty has always been a one-way street
during his first term when Trump asked
then RNC chair Ronda McDaniel Romney to
stop using her uncle Mitt's last name
she did she dropped her own name in
deference to Trump and what did she get
in return a few years later ousted as
chairwoman of the RNC because Trump
needed a scapegoat for Republican losses
in midterms michael Cohen devoted his
life to being Trump's fixer but when
hit the fan Trump trashed him at
every turn and pretended he barely knew
the guy i mean hell Mike Pence showed
four years of unbreakable devotion but
when he dared to certify an election in
accordance with the law and the will of
the voters Trump bass in the glow of
chance demanding to see him hanged over
and over again seemingly competent
adults sell their souls for the mere
chance of working with a guy who has
shown the world that they will be
nothing more to him than vessels for his
ambition and his consolidation of power
it is so sad to watch them routinely and
delusionally run toward what they
believe is a path of respect and
prosperity only to soon realize they've
been led off a cliff you can praise him
endorse him applaud him and defend him
but at the end of the day no matter what
you do no matter what you say Trump will
keep moving forward and you will soon
find yourself abandoned searching for a
ride home
