Ty Cobb, a former Trump White House attorney during the first term, joins MSNBCs Ari Melber to discuss Trumps pardons for individuals involved in the effort to overturn Trumps 2020 election loss.
Cobb says there is very little doubt that the pardons related a little bit to what happened last Tuesday, and the recognition in the White House and the MAGA world that they may only have a year left of total domination. - Aired on 11/10/2025.

They will fold like everybody else. Trump is purging the senior military leaders and installing his own stooges. Lower-level officers will follow orders.
They have no problems blowing up Venezuelan boats. Even if these guys are drug runners, it is still not within the purview of the US Navy to do this in international waters. The coast guard is supposed to intercept the boats and check them, not randomly blow them.
