Brace yourself for a jaw-dropping recap of the *MG Show* as Jeffrey Pedersen and Shannon Townsend rip into "President Trump Buys a Tesla; Trump vs Massie Feud"—a patriot-fueled expose that turns the tables on the swamp and its insiders! The episode explodes with Trump's bold Tesla purchase, a defiant move amid the relentless assault on Tesla's American innovation. But the bombshell? Gen Flynn's claim of an assassination contract on Alex Jones takes a dark twist—whispers are growing that Flynn himself might be part of the problem, suspected of running psyops to infiltrate and undermine the Patriot, America-First, MAGA movement. The hosts dig deep, questioning if the deep state's got a mole in their ranks. The Trump-Massie feud heats up as the Massie crew gets sassy with Trump, but Jeffrey and Shannon call out Massie's betrayal of the MAGA mission with fierce clarity. More Oval Office clips drop, with POTUS noticing JD's socks, sparking a kekked-out laugh-fest! Trump welcomed Ireland's PM to the Oval, with live questions during the visit, spotlighting the global sovereignty fight. The drops hammer home “these people are sick” 40 times, while Doug Collins unleashes questions on the fake news. And the clincher? USAID staffers shredded evidence, proving the swamp's desperation.
