1
Another Republican is quitting on Donald Trump and oh boy, do I get so much pleasure in saying that.
2
Now, I have to preface by also stating none of these people are leaving this administration
3
because they've suddenly grown a spine or a moral compass.
4
No, no, no. Nothing has changed about them.
5
They just recognize the reality in the West Wing.
6
And that is that the president of the United States has dementia.
7
He could die any day.
8
He is going to lose his majority in the House and likely at this point the Senate.
9
And so they are trying to cash in right now.
10
But it is humiliating to Donald Trump.
11
We are going to get into the latest example of a Republican quitting on Trump, leaving his administration and humiliating him.
12
And if you want to support our work in exposing all of this, do make sure you are subscribed to this channel if you are not already.
13
But I want to start with the culture in the White House
14
that is being reported that has led to the second major Trump official this week to just up and quit.
15
We got to start with that culture.
16
It's the context that we need for this latest resignation.
17
Why Trump's goons are fleeing the West Wing from hell.
18
The Daily Beast, our friends, break down what the exits of Carolyn Levitt and others reveal about the pressures facing this administration.
19
As we know, and as we celebrated thoroughly on this show,
20
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt's departure at month's end is the result of a combination of factors both personal and institutional.
21
Ooh!
22
On the Daily Beast podcast,
23
Joanna Coles and Hugh Doherty dissected Levitt's AI-altered announcement this week that she would be leaving to focus on family.
24
Levitt, 28, has two children, Nico, born in 2024, and Viviana, okay, doesn't really know how to name kids,
25
born this May with her 60-year-old real estate developer husband.
26
But there are other factors at play, Coles and Dougherty said.
27
Coles began by citing details shared with the Daily Beast on Sunday by first-term Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
28
He said it's widely known among Trump's aides that Trump is just meaner.
29
You can see it.
30
He's more unpleasant to deal with.
31
He yells at people.
32
He's always yelled at people.
33
But he's yelling louder and for longer, Coles said.
34
And I'm sure Carolyn Levitt, who you know by all appearances, has a nice marriage, has a husband who's wealthy enough that she doesn't need to work,
35
thought, what am I doing with my life?
36
I have these two adorable little babies at home.
37
Why do I need to come to work and get shouted at when I could go to Fox, make more money, and just be as famous?
38
One prior Trump administration press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, is a Fox host.
39
The network also brought on former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders as a contributor for a
40
while after she left the White House.
41
Dana Perino, who served as press secretary in George W.
42
Bush's administration, is also a Fox host.
43
Doherty added that regarding the personal reasons for Levitt's exit, there's no doubt that she was not enjoying herself.
44
In addition to Levitt not accompanying Trump to Turkey when she returned from maternity leave,
45
he said it felt like there was a notable diminution of interest that there was just less of the energy from her.
46
The president's phone calls to her while she was away must have weighed on her, he added.
47
What was quite clear was that behind the scenes, she has been repeatedly phoned by Donald Trump during the month that she was off, and the low did not get any lighter for her.
48
When she came back, it got worse.
49
As for the institutional motivations to leave the West Wing, the midterms are looming large,
50
and all the consequences for the Trump White House that could bring if Democrats indeed retake the House, let alone the Senate, are going to be bad.
51
If the polls are right, it's going to be a blue wave that's going to be so unpleasant if you are in the West Wing, if you are Carolyn Levitt,
52
if you are other people who are leaving that want to talk about as well.
53
You don't want to be there, Doherty said, referring to the exits this month of Deputy National Security Advisor Andy Baker and Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson.
54
More are expected, Politico reported.
55
With Democratic control of Congress, you are bombarded as a West Wing employee.
56
Oof, that doesn't sound good, except it does to me.
57
By subpoena after subpoena after subpoena, you are told to go and give evidence.
58
You spend your time with lawyers.
59
It's not very rewarding.
60
And if you're Carolyn Levitt, all the questions coming out are about those investigations, Doherty said.
61
And just think about what the Democrats want to investigate.
62
They want to talk about the files.
63
They've talked about investigating Barron Trump's links to the Tate brothers.
64
They want to investigate the grift.
65
Do you want to be the person up there answering those questions?
66
So there's the personal, then there's the wide institutional problems.
67
Oh boy, is it bad.
68
Carolyn Levitt leaving is really symptomatic of all of the other problems in this White House.
69
I got a smile on my face because I just have
70
so much joy in talking about this and
71
that everyone is leaving right now so they can make sure that they get a check cut to them.
72
And I want to talk more about that and why everyone's leaving right now.
73
But of course, we got to talk about this breaking story.
74
Another Republican out of the White House.
75
Trump loses second top aide in a week in White House exodus.
76
Another top official decides they want to spend more time with their family.
77
Donald Trump has lost another senior aide, The second top official to quit the administration in less than
78
a week as his wife's White House exodus shows little signs of slowing.
79
Andy Baker, the White House's Deputy National Security Advisor, which seems like a very important role in the middle of a war,
80
will leave the administration in the coming weeks, Axios reported Friday.
81
News of his departure comes just days after White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt announced her own exit.
82
The back-to-back resignations add to a steady stream of departures from
83
the 80-year-old president's inner circle in recent months as the administration
84
heads toward what is expected to be a challenging midterm election cycle.
85
A source close to Andy Baker told Axios he wanted to spend more time with his family.
86
No, he wanted to make money.
87
So a deputy national security advisor leaves and says, family time.
88
I want to spend some time with the family.
89
I don't believe it.
90
I don't buy it.
91
I don't trust it.
92
It's not real.
93
That is not the case.
94
What you want to do is make money.
95
That is what all of these people want to do.
96
They want to make money.
97
They want to cash in right now.
98
And if you're Andy Baker, you go, okay, we got this war going on.
99
Netanyahu is going to make sure that it continues.
100
Pete Hegseth is a fuck up.
101
Do you know what?
102
How about I leave the administration?
103
How about I go work with a nice lobbying group?
104
How about I go work for, you know, Raytheon?
105
How about I go work for Lockheed Martin?
106
How about I go make myself a couple of bucks, right?
107
Maybe I, uh, maybe I give a quote here or there to some journalists and I, I don't know, maybe I get myself a contributorship at Fox. Who knows?
108
It's all set up for you there, Andy.
109
That's the rotating door of the Donald Trump White House.
110
It's really the rotating door of Washington, but it's especially bad in this administration.
111
That is why people are leaving.
112
Yes, it is also, of course, because the midterms are looming large.
113
Democrats saying, when we get in, we're going to get you, like Robert Garcia has been bringing the heat.
114
Yeah, nobody wants to be a part of that.
115
And so they're scared.
116
They're leaving.
117
And that should show you all that you need to know about how bad things are looking for Republicans in the Congress.
118
You don't have to look at the polls.
119
You don't have to look at who's got what in terms of spending, who's got what in terms of, you know, their volunteer and organizing capacity.
120
Although, make sure you are signing up to volunteer, to door knock, to make phone calls for Democrats in swing states, or of course, in your own districts.
121
You don't even need to look at all that though.
122
All you need to look at is how many people are leaving this White House and going, fuck, this is going to be bad.
123
And I do not want to have to pay my legal bills
124
when I go in front of a Democratic Congress and get teared apart.
125
They don't want to do that.
126
And they don't want to do that for this guy.
127
This guy?
128
The guy with the poopy diapies?
129
The guy who goes sleepy weepy in the Oval Office? That guy?
130
Is he inspiring the troops?
131
Is he moving people?
132
I say no. And not only that, not only is there no future with Donald Trump because, you know, the big obituary from heaven or
133
because he's a lame duck already but also there's no future with Trump
134
because he doesn't give a shit about you we saw
135
that with the plane saga the decoy day right Donald Trump doesn't care about his staff now
136
if you're Natalie Harp special place in his heart Marco Rubio
137
nope Miller nope fucking present nope Donald Trump doesn't care about you why Why are you taking a bullet for him?
138
They've all decided, eh, this isn't it for me.
139
And they shouldn't.
140
You'll just get screwed.
141
That's what always happens with Donald Trump.
142
Always, always, always.
143
So why would you do that?
144
You shouldn't, and they won't.
145
And I want to end on that.
146
Actually, something that J.B.
147
Pritzker had to say about Donald Trump and his plane saga that I found quite interesting.
148
You know, you hear Trump on the final leg home from this trip saying to reporters, knowing that they had flown on the decoy plane that was under an imminent threat and that he had not, right?
149
He says, quote, if I go, you go, right?
150
You know, what do you even, how haunting is that statement given what we know now, as you look at all this, this whole thing that was pulled off with catering trucks?
151
Well, it's obviously not true.
152
If I go, you go.
153
That's not what happened.
154
In fact, It was a bait and switch.
155
He put people in harm's way to save himself.
156
That's who Donald Trump is.
157
And he's willing to put our troops in harm's way.
158
And they were in Iran, even though he shouldn't have done that in the first place.
159
He's also somebody who obviously I mean, he slinked away literally in a catering truck while the reporters
160
and his own staff were on a plane that apparently was under threat?
161
You know, yeah, and his own staff.
162
I mean, it is pretty incredible.
163
And then not only governor that, right, they made a point of showing him board Air Force One.
164
So everybody saw him do it.
165
So everybody believed the reporters believed he was on a plane.
166
But then when he got off the plane, they stuck him back on so he could walk off the plane.
167
They would hope they're hoping that Nobody would ever know this had happened.
168
You know, I just want to be clear here.
169
The New York Times reporting originally was extremely clear, right?
170
It was that the imminent threat was to whatever plane Trump was believed to be flying on.
171
So the White House made every effort for everyone on the planet to believe
172
that the plane that Trump is on was the plane that all the reporters were on and his own staff was on, even though they took him off, right?
173
I mean, that's a fact of the situation.
174
You know, how do you make sense of this?
175
Do you think that anyone on that plane had the right to be briefed on this, even though they're not the primary security focus?
176
He did not need to put his staff and those reporters in harm's way.
177
He literally could have warned them and taken them off the flight.
178
There were other ways to handle this, but instead he was OK with the idea that maybe
179
that plane would be shot down or maybe there was some other security threat to that aircraft.
180
That's clearly what all of this indicates.
181
He really doesn't give a darn about the people on that plane.
182
Now, I remember he was also slinking away and ending up on his new cutter paid for and apparently personally received 747.
183
That's I mean, that total act of corruption.
184
He's accepting money and gifts from foreign governments.
185
This is at a moment when people can't afford food.
186
People aren't going to have Medicaid to cover them, to give them health care.
187
And he's taking all those things away from them.
188
And meanwhile, we're all talking about this ruse and what he's doing to the people around him.
189
We all ought to be focusing on what's best for the people of the United States who are, frankly, under threat by Donald Trump and H.R.1.
190
MAGA is a cult and and we know this and we know
191
that it's impossible to get these people out of their cults I know that as well But maybe
192
that really tight-knit group in the White House Maybe they're kind
193
of finally starting to wake up to the fact not
194
that Donald Trump is a bad person Like they don't they don't give a shit doesn't matter to them.
195
They're all nihilist They just want to take advantage of us
196
however they can Maybe they wake up with the fact
197
that Donald Trump doesn't care about them Right because if MAGA is all about me me me me me
198
So the emin maga for Then maybe they go this guy doesn't really care about me.
199
So maybe I should just leave Right, if he doesn't have the loyalists doesn't have all the backers
200
and he's just left with the incompetent project 2025 morons that he hired up
201
Maybe it really all starts to fall apart a lot faster
202
Or at least that's just what we got to hope for
203
But we got to keep on putting the pressure because it's clearly scaring the shit out of them

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
