00:00As we survey the wreckage of the midterms, let's look at what's next.
00:04Robert Garcia, who will be the next Oversight Committee Chairman,
00:08gave us a clue when he issued a one-line statement last night,
00:12Lawyer Up.
00:14Payback is the number one priority, obviously, for Democrats across the country.
00:19They want to use their victories to grind Republicans into the mud.
00:23You saw it in the gloating victory speech from Abdul El-Sayed,
00:27in which he sarcastically referred to J.D. Vance as Habibi
00:32and delighted in the fact that the Vice President will have to swear him in.
00:36You saw it in Peggy Flanagan's speech.
00:39We will rip ice apart, she said.
00:42You saw it in the salivating from Jamie Raskin about impeaching Trump.
00:46And you saw it in the threats against Elon Musk and other billionaires.
00:50The only upside of a Democrat hubris is that it will surely lead them to overreach
00:57and turn off a volatile electorate before 2028.
01:01But President Trump can't pretend the route wasn't a referendum on him
01:06and his smash-mouth politics that alienate people with little to show for it.
