Marcus Flowers and Madeline Somerville open on Veterans Day with something personal — Marcus reflects on his oath of service and the people he served alongside. Then it’s straight to business: Pete Hegseth skirted impeachment again, and 11 Democrats missed the vote while attending a fundraiser a mile from the Capitol. Marcus and Maddie break down what actually happened, why Thomas Massey won’t be calling another vote before he retires in January, and what “just following orders” sounds like when it comes out of a Secretary of Defense. Then a clip of AG Todd Blanche threatening to investigate Democrats for doing their constitutional oversight jobs — and the pair lay out what that tells you about whose attorney he still thinks he is. Closing out: Steve Bannon’s new playbook of blaming the inner circle, Maddie’s read on the Callie Means whistleblower moment, and Marcus making it plain — he spent three decades in and around the federal government, and there was no deep state. Just people doing their jobs.
