Sam Bushman and Curt Crosby break down the post-election fallout as Republicans lost at least 24 House seats and 7 Senate seats, with races in Alaska, Mississippi, and Kansas still uncalled. Sam calls Alaska the new Florida hanging-chad scenario with the Dan Sullivan scandal, while Mitt Romney and Thomas Massie both publicly blame Republican losses on failed policy, broken promises, the Iran war, deficits, and corruption. JD Vance agrees the war cost the GOP, but Trump says he'd do it again. Sam argues the war was unconstitutional without Congressional approval and that following the process would have saved the election, while Curt counters that if millions of lives were at stake, Trump did what he had to do. They also discuss Mike Johnson stepping down from House leadership, Curt's concerns about Massie's personal life and grandstanding, George Washington's warning about political parties destroying the nation, and Sam's proposal to abolish partisan precincts.
