| 0:00.0 | What happened on Tuesday night in this country was a political earthquake for MAGA and Republicans |
| 0:05.8 | are still trying to figure out how to pick their jaws up off the floor while arguing it was |
| 0:10.8 | no big deal. |
| 0:11.6 | We're going to delve more deeply into that because Democrats flipped some of the reddest districts |
| 0:16.1 | in the country, Mississippi, Virginia, a Pennsylvania county that went for Trump last year, swung 24 points |
| 0:23.1 | blue. |
| 0:24.1 | So we're going to look at that and it is not just a blip. |
| 0:26.7 | It is voters saying we're done with the chaos. |
| 0:29.0 | And speaking of chaos, Trump's government shutdown is now breaking the aviation system. |
| 0:35.1 | Five weeks in, the FAA is delaying flights nationwide. Airport, airspace |
| 0:40.9 | closures are looming. Air traffic controllers are working second jobs because they're not getting |
| 0:46.4 | paid. And Trump keeps flying on Air Force One while the rest of the country sits in airport |

| 1:20.4 | supporters saying they don't seem to realize how good everything is. Meanwhile, Maga Mike Johnson lets the truth slip. If they lose next November, |
| 1:31.9 | we will try to end the Trump administration. Yeah, that's the point. Plus, the Fox News host |
| 1:37.6 | melts down over women voting correctly. All of that on today's show, we're still donating first payments from any new website memberships or substack subscriptions |
| 1:48.9 | to Feeding America. |
