Tucker Carlson is so, so, so sorry, and we're all about to read the Bible together. That is just a teeny taste of what we're about to dive into. But let's start with Trump's scheme to hold on to his majority in Congress, even though he is polling so horribly. And all of this, of course, stems from last summer. Trump urged Republicans to redraw the congressional maps for half a decade ahead of schedule. We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor and we have good people in Texas.

1:27.8

And I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats.

1:36.3

So Texas kicked it off with Governor Abbott wanted to be good for his daddy Donald.

1:39.3

We're giving themselves five more likely red seeds, but then you had California responding with its own map that was intended to add five more blue seats.

1:45.0

And from there, it's just been a gerrymandering arms race with North Carolina, Missouri, and Ohio helping Republicans, while Utah's courts gave the Dems an unexpected seat. And well, now today, Virginia is holding a referendum on whether to redraw its map as well. And if it happens, the Democrats could absolutely clean house. clean house. Because right now, Dems have six of the state's 11 house seeds, but with the new map,

2:02.3

they'd likely secure 10. And of the state's 11 house seats, but with the new map, they'd

2:02.5

likely secure 10. And so with just those four extra seats, they'd wipe out the two or three seed advantage that Republicans currently have in the past year's gerrymandering race. But also, if Florida redraws its map soon, as Ron DeSantis's promise, then the balance would likely tilt back towards the Republicans. And that's even before considering that the Supreme Court might strike down the part of the Voting Act that effectively bans racial gerrymandering, because then Republicans could really go wild. But regardless, in the here and now, this referendum in Virginia, it's being seen as incredibly consequential. Which is why you have Trump urging his people to vote against it, warning that a Democratic victory in the midterms, it would be a disaster for. It's terrible. It is true, John. It's nobody's ever saying anything like it. It's so unfair. They even say it's unfair. They say, oh, they'll do it once and maybe they'll go back to what it was. It's the whole thing is ridiculous. If the Democrats, look, if they get additional house seats, at some point, if they get these additional seats, they're gonna be making changes at the federal level. But also I'll say it's increasingly unclear how much his word even matters, even to his supporters. Right because one by one, we've seen some of his most ardent cheerleaders defective. We're talking to people like Marjorie Taylor Green, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson. Also, Speaker to which, Tucker, who recently suggested that Trump might be the antichrist, he's now essentially calling the president a little bitch.

3:10.6

Maybe it's inevitable that you get once the patriarchy has been overthrown as it has been. Yes. Do you get a president like this who's emotional, all about himself, is perpetually the victim? Right. And so that's from his most recent episode with his, Buckley, Carlson, who recently quit his job is J.D. Vance is a deputy press secretary and is now speaking out against Trump. This guy has failed in his responsibility. He is disdainful towards the American people. He's disdainful towards the people who put him in office. The only people he's been loyal to are the neocons and his donors. You and I and everyone

else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaign for him. I mean, we're implicated
