Republicans are already going to war against each other. Let's just take a look at what's happening in the Senate, where there will be a secret ballot vote for Senate Majority Leader on Wednesday. All of the MAGAs are pissed that Mitch McConnell scheduled this as a secret ballot vote.

The MAGAs want MAGA Republican Senator Rick Scott to be the MAGA Senate Majority Leader, leapfrogging over Senators John Thune and Senator John Cornyn. Cornyn is from Texas.

They are next in line to be the leaders. So there is a three-way race right now. The MAGAs want Rick Scott and they absolutely hate John Thune and John Cornyn. They believe this is all part of a Mitch McConnell plot to try to undermine and attack

Donald Trump from within. In essence, another faction, they are saying, of the Republican Party is functioning as the deep state to attack the MAGA agenda. Now, Elon Musk and all of the on

line magas are pushing for Rick Scott, which according to multiple sources, Politico, Axios, and our own sources, it is backfiring as lots of Republican senators do not want to cede their own power and turf. And if they can do a secret ballot, they don't feel that they have to be afraid that Donald Trump will come after them since no one will know who they voted for.

Let's take a look at who these individuals are. Let's take a look at what's going down. So, for example, Elon Musk is using his right-wing extremist platform that he controls, which is now called X, to push for Rick Scott to be the Senate majority leader. Rick Scott basically says, I will do whatever Donald Trump wants me to do. Now,

a note about Rick Scott just to remind you who Rick Scott is. Here's a nice fact sheet about him. He was forced to resign from the company called Columbia HCA since it engaged in the largest Medicare fraud

In United States history, the company pled guilty to 14 felonies and three counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States. During Rick Scott's deposition in connection with this fraud, when he was the CEO and chairman of this company, he invoked the Fifth Amendment 75 times before the deposition was shut down.

The company's punishment was a fine of $1.7 billion for stealing from the government. And of course, this is MAGA's favorite right now. And by the way, you know we go to the source documents here at the Midas Touch Network. So let's just take a look at this deposition. Here it is, July 27, 2000, from the case Nevada Communications Court v. Columbia HCA. You see that Richard L. Scott, Rick Scott, was the one being deposed.

He's asked pretty basic questions like, sir, would you please state your name? He says that. Are you employed? The response was from the lawyer, if I can interject under normal circumstances, Mr. Scott would be pleased to answer the question or other questions you posed today. Unfortunately, because of the pendency of a number of criminal investigations relating to Columbia around the country, he is going to follow my advice of counsel and invoke the Fifth Amendment

Fifth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, over and over again until the deposition was shut down. Now, John Thune, a Republican senator who's in contention for leadership as well, he was asked about Donald Trump intervening and meddling with who's going to become the Republican leader in the Senate. And John Thune on CNBC urged,

Donald Trump to stay out of the Senate Republican leadership battle. Thune said, I think it's probably in his best interest to stay away. Here's what Thune said on CNBC. Let's play this clip. Is President-elect Trump involved and does he have a chosen preference in the Senate? Do you know, Senator? And will that come into play? I don't

Well, I don't know that he does. I stay in regular contact with him and with his team. And, you know, obviously, if he wants to, he could exert a considerable amount of influence on that. But honestly, I think my preference would be and I think it's probably in his best interest to stay out of that. These Senate secret ballot elections are probably best left to senators. And he's got to work with all of us when it's all said and done. But whatever he decides to do, that's going to be his prerogative, as we know.

And we're going to have that election next Wednesday and we'll have a new leader. Now the MAGAs are unsealed.

on a rampage right now, attacking McConnell, attacking Thune, attacking Cornyn, and also going after their family members. It's a tactic we saw before when Democrats were in power, but now the MAGA's going after Republican family members. Laura Loomer leading the charge. She goes, Senator John Thune's daughter was the director of a PAC

that gave money to anti-Trump and radical leftist Democrats. Senator John Thune, daughter Brittany Thune Lindbergh, served as director and vice president of the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers PAC, aka Council PAC, from February 2013 through June 2021.

During Brittany Thune Lindbergh's tenure at the PAC, multiple anti-Trump radical leftists were awarded generous monetary contributions, including Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, and others. How can Thune be trusted as the Senate GOP leader, a position that would allow him to have control over Senate funds?

when his own daughter, who he referred to as gifted and an accomplished professional on X, gave money to the same people who tried to destroy Trump and jail him. I'm sure Britney enjoys a lot of political benefits from her father being a top-ranking RINO senator.

It should also be noted that one of the reasons that the MAGA's hate

And Cornyn was after Donald Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. Yes, folks, just a reminder. The person who's the president-elect was found liable for sexual assault and is on videotape and audiotape bragging about molesting women. But after the trial...

from John Thune and John Cornyn basically said that they don't think Donald Trump should be running for the presidency, which is, and this was back in 2023. This is why MAGA hates them. So here it is right here. This was a report where you can post E. Jean Carroll verdict. This is what went down. You can hear it for yourself. Here, play this clip. Scott, let me ask you before we go ever so briefly to summarize this.

Capitol Hill response so far as you've been able to gather it to the civil verdict in Manhattan today against former President Trump. Two reactions worth noting from Senate Republican leadership. John Cornyn of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't think Donald Trump can get elected president. Quite a statement from Senator Cornyn. John Thune of South Dakota says America is going to have to decide whether it wants to deal with, quote, all the drama.

After this verdict and the other investigations, not exactly a robust endorsement from top Senate Republicans for Donald Trump tonight.

Right now, in addition, whenever John Cornyn, the Republican senator from Texas, whenever he goes and gives speeches now, like he always gets booed from the MAGAs. They absolutely deplore and hate him. Here is an example of him getting booed. Play this clip. Here he is getting booed again, just so you can hear the boos play this clip. Oh,

And on the other hand, you have Rick Scott, the MAGA Republican Senator who the MAGAs want to lead. Here he says that, look, at the end of the day, he will do anything Donald Trump says and he should be elected as the leader so he could do whatever Trump tells him to do, he will implement. Here, play this clip. You are gonna run. Two other- I'm gonna run, Larry?

I'm going to win. And here's why. I've been talking to my Republican colleagues. Guess what? They want change. They know that Trump has a mandate. They want to be part of that mandate. They want to be treated as equals. They want to be part of a team. They want to have a working relationship with the House. They know I've got a great working relationship with Trump.

With Speaker Mike Johnson, they know I'm a business guy. Business guys get things done. We create a plan. We work our mission. We measure things. We create teams. That's exactly what we want in the Senate. And that's why I'll be the next majority leader. And we're going to get Trump's agenda accomplished.

Tucker Carlson weighing in as well. What the hell is going on in the U.S. Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the Senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal. That's a Republican senator from Texas, by the way, not a liberal, who

whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney. Now they're calling Liz Cheney a liberal. The election is Wednesday. It's by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. So they are putting this pressure campaign. And again, what we're hearing, and as Steph Knight reports from Axios,

It's definitely backfiring on Rick Scott at this point. I won't vote for him for anything ever a Republican senator told him. But on the other hand, a Republican Congress member who I guess just thinks all of his constituents are just stupid,

Rep Mike Connells, who's not even allowed to vote, says, I will not be voting for Thune or Corden for Senate Majority Leader. Do not attempt to change my mind. He's a member of the House of Representatives. He does not vote in the Senate at all. But that's MAGA for you folks anyway.
