Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Donald Trump and his MAGA allies threw a tantrum after he was denied the Nobel Peace Prize, with Georgia Representative Earl “Buddy” Carter introducing House Resolution 799 titled “recognizing President Donald J Trump’s role as a transformational peacemaker”—despite Congress having no role in the selection process and the award going to Venezuelan democracy advocate Maria Corina Machado. The hosts reveal how Trump faced a fundamental procedural problem since the nomination period closed on January 31st, 2025—just 11 days after he became president—meaning most of his claimed achievements occurred after the deadline, while the Norwegian Nobel Institute noted the prize focuses on humility and multilateralism over self-promotion, raising doubts Trump would ever receive it. They detail how Trump’s domestic actions contradict Alfred Nobel’s will requiring winners to work “for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies”—while he deploys troops in American cities in violation of Posse Comitatus, conducts mass deportation raids without probable cause, and kills four foreign nationals by blowing up ships in the Caribbean, while ironically 10 of the 11 Americans who won Nobel Prizes in sciences and economics this year worked on projects funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Department of Energy—the very institutions Trump is gutting with budget cuts to research grants Congress had approved in bipartisan fashion.
