'Child-like grifters' are leading the Trump administration - and becoming a huge liability - Velshi - MS NOW
Some top officials in the Trump administration – like FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – have recently been plagued with scandals related to their personal and/or professional conduct.
Tom Nichols, writer for The Atlantic, and National Security Attorney Bradley Moss join Ali Velshi to discuss it. Nichols says there’s a “bunch of very child-like grifters” at the head of the government. “One of the things that's so striking about all these people is not just how amateurish they are, but how completely unfocused they are,” Nichols adds. - Aired on 12/06/2025.

I stayed up this morning to watch Velshi since he's always exceptional, in his detailed explanations and his analysis, and I think it was one of his best! Good to see you, my friend!
