Ron Wyden's one-word post, "Subpoenas," supplies Sean Hannity with the opening for a discussion about what Democrats will do with their congressional victories. His guest, Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley, predicts that investigating the Trump administration will prove easier than passing their agenda into law.
The Hannity excerpt, posted by Fox News Clips, reached about 374,000 views in 15 hours, far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. Its comment count had also already climbed to several times the usual first-day total.
Turley's argument rests on the gap between winning Congress and controlling legislation. Donald Trump can veto Democratic bills, he explains, and Democrats would need enough support to override him. Turley therefore expects investigations to become a central outlet for the new majority's ambitions.
That is his forecast, not an announced Democratic legislative programme. Hannity frames the discussion around the prospect of voter remorse, while Turley argues that progressive demands will make life difficult for Democratic leaders, including Hakeem Jeffries. Near the end, he delivers the line behind the title: "And so I think this is going to be a bit of a train wreck."
Other post-election excerpts are also drawing unusually large audiences on Fox News Clips: Laura Ingraham's assessment of the national mood, a discussion of Stephen A. Smith's warning to Democrats, and The Five's debate about progressive influence. The Turley segment focuses specifically on the governing problem after the celebrations: what a congressional majority can accomplish when the president can block its bills.
