Trump shakedown of the federal government is in full swing and he was asked if his family would benefit from his 1.776 1776 get it thievery slush fund. Let's play the clip. The Justice Department has this new fund that was announced today, $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January.

Well, it's been very well received. I have to tell you. I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in the whole creation of it and, and the negotiation. But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated as anti weaponization. They've been weaponized. They've been in some cases imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt, their lives have been destroyed and they turn out to be right pumps.

Do you think he's setting this up right before the midterms so that if there's another, you know, like violent protest, insurrection against the election results, his most cultish supporters will go, oh, there's a lot of money in this for me.

There is not a doubt in my mind that he is trying to send a message. If you want to engage in the overthrow of the government, if I or my administration's hand picked people lose, please storm your voting districts, storm your state capitol, storm your electors. And here's the thing. He is doing everything he can to whitewash the crimes committed on January 6. The coup that he engaged in, the seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. And he is making law abiding taxpayers pay for all of these people. And it turns out the majority of these people at January 6th had a either committed other crimes or since then committed other crimes. And I would just like to say that history will not judge Trump the way he wants to be judged. And if he wants to start a fund for people who have been wronged and had weaponization of the federal government sent to them, give a settlement to Renee Good's family, Alex Preddy's family, all of the protesters that have been arrested, all of the detainees who were in this country legally or who have not committed crimes. This enrages me to the core of my being.

Political Commentator 1
I would just say that that's never going to happen in a Trump administration. We are never going to have an investigation into the deaths of Renee Good or Alex Preddy while he and his regime are in power. The whitewashing will continue. But the whitewashing didn't start with him. It started with the Democrats, the Democratic Party, when Joe Biden put Merrick Garland as attorney general. The burden always falls on us to be the party of law and order. The burden falls on us to uphold the Constitution. This is just a continuation of lackluster accountability that started under Biden. And of course, if the guy who incited the insurrection, of course, of course, if he wins again, this whitewashing will ensue. So this to me, I am zero percent surprised. I'm shocked that he's not taking more money for himself. Personally, I the worst of expectations. And Trump asked if violent January six protesters and his family will receive compensation. Compensation. Trump was asked question on weaponization. Do you believe that people who committed violence against Capitol Hill Police officers on January6 should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund? And are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund?

It'll all be dependent on a committee. A committee is being set up, a very talented people, very highly respected people. I think it's a committee of five. And again, I didn't do this deal. It was told to me yesterday. They said they're doing something. I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed. You have families. Absolutely destroyed.

Okay. Also, I want to point out here that he has announced JD Vance to be the frauds are right. And underneath all of these denials, I have nothing to do with this. He is providing space for himself because to me, that is an admission that he knows how corrupt this is. There are attorneys surrounding him that have told him this is corrupt. And he says, I don't give a. We're going to do it anyway. We're going to name Vance the fraud czar. So all of this stuff, all the Elon Musk doge, all of this fraud stuff is a part of him. Rat for J.D. vance. Why does he want to rap J.D. vance? Because the tech oligarchs owned Trump before the election. They had him right here. And Trump doesn't like that. They said, look, buddy, we'll give you hundreds of millions of dollars, but you have to let us install our prostitute, JD Vance, who believes in nothing, who can be purchased. Here's what you need to believe in. J.D. vance says, sir, yes, sir, and goes along with it. So this is Trump's Revenge, in my opinion. And all of the corruption on top of the stock exchanges, all of this. I expect 100 million percent of this. I expect all of the people that Trump appointed to go along with this. My thing right now is all the Republicans that I've known my whole life that do all this law and order. We're so pro business, pro America, put a sock in it. If you still support this guy, which he has like 80% support in the Republican Party, you just like white, entitled men that are unqualified, being able to jump over qualified people because it makes you feel better about being incompetent.
- [06:32]
Political Commentator 3
I completely agree. Because you look at his cabinet. I mean, it was. Nobody is there based on merit. And this is the revenge of the white man who is mad and fragile because they have to now be competitive in fields with smart women, with smart black people, with smart brown people, and they don't like it. And my guess is that the Trump family, in one way or another, will be the beneficiary of this, because poor Melania had to watch her beloved husband go through all of these things. It is disgusting. And I'm with you. Any Republican that supports this, after seeing, you know, the ballroom, the arch, the new plane, all of this, go fuck yourself, you're a racist, you're homophobic, you're misogynist. That's why you're with this man.

And the announcement of the fund is driving some people to call it quits. Pop this up. The Wall Street Journal is reporting the Treasury Department's top lawyer resigned Monday as the government announced a controversial settlement. Settlement with President Trump. And this is just the next phase of his shakedown. And we have to see how the Democrats respond to this. We have to see how industry titans respond to this. We have to see how everyday Americans journalism responds to this. So far, the mainstream media has been asleep at the wheel in covering the mental decline and physical decline of this man. It's not even close. The way they covered Joe Biden, which is fair game. President of the United States. You don't seem like you're all. There should be a top news story. Trump is able to run around in his diaper with full blown dementia, bragging about taking cognitive tests and saying crazy all the time. And he does it with impunity. And so then Trump keeps moving the goalposts as there's no accountability. And then that brings me to industry titans who have been nothing short of disappointing. Mark Cuban yesterday bent the knee to Trump showing up the White House. And then, of course, Donald Trump Loves a human humiliation ritual. So he gets Cuban behind him in a video where he knows Cuban's going to be seen. And Trump is really good at this. And it pains me to say he's good at anything, but he's very good at humiliating people. And here is the video of Trump saying that Cuban made a mistake for voting for Kamala Harris. Play the clip, Daniel, please. Thank you, Mr. President. It's pretty remarkable seeing you and Mark Cuban up there and the fact that obviously Mark endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2020.
- [09:26]
Political Commentator 2
Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake.
- [09:29]
Political Commentator 1
What does this say? And for Mark Cuban to stand there and laugh. Here's where I am with this. He is the President of the United States. You have governors that have to go to the White House and meet with him. You have the mayor of New York, Zoran Mamdani, that had to go to the White House and meet with him. You cannot cede ground. Zoron called Trump a fascist while Trump is going, go ahead, say it. It's fine, just say it. Mark Cuban is standing there, seating ground. He's a billionaire. He's probably richer because of these policies. And he's showing up because he has this altruistic vision to help people with health care. The problem when you're standing there laughing like that, allowing yourself to be humiliated, is you lose all credibility in whatever it is that you're doing. So this shows me that Mark Cuban cares more about profit because this regime has said, oh, we are all about family. We are all about Christian values. We're bringing back Christianity and Merry Christmas and all this. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is killing off hundreds of thousands of people, the poorest people in the world. They've gutted snap, they've gutted Medicare, they've gutted Medicaid, they've transferred wealth from working class Americans to the Mark Cubans of the world. And so I just think this is about the weakest thing that a person could possibly do. It's the easiest thing to just capitulate to your worst impulses. And time and time again in this era, you see people that just show up and bend over and let an dementia riddled dipshit just completely rat you. And it's just fascinating to me how many people lose their mind over this guy.

I was thinking when I saw this, why didn't Mark Cuban say, yes, and I do it again, but we're working together to, you know, bring down drug costs or whatever he was going to say. Why did he have to laugh? Because now he Goes into my insufferable billionaires pile.
- [11:36]
Political Commentator 1
I completely agree. And then they were asked by reporters. Cuban was asked by reporters about his support of Harris in 2024. And this is what he said. Play the clip. Do you regret supporting former. I'm not going into my politics at all. Have you always been such a coward? I mean, just such a coward? He should have said, I absolutely do not regret voting for Kamala Harris. She would have been a million times better than this complete show criminal. And this is all done on the same day that he has announced this unprecedented criminal shakedown where he is both the plaintiff and the defendant in this ridiculous lawsuit that a federal judge was about to kick out. So he gets his corrupt DOJ to say, oh, we're going to announce a slush fund. This is just the most disappointing part about all of this is that these men who are such capitalist thumpers are actively dismantling capitalism as they know it by bending the knee to this man. Because when you erode the court system, you erode your economic structure. They are completely eroding it. And so it's fascinating that all of these industry titans are riding this wave.

Well, and here's the deal. What? They have more money. They have more power. These people have everything they fucking want and they still are not happy and want to get in bed with a man because they can have more. And in my mind, it always goes back to because they don't value people that aren't them. They think they're smarter than people so that they should be the one to make the decisions. They think that sick people, eh, they're not really. They don't have a value. So it. It all ends up with the billionaires have all the money, they have all the power, and everybody else is just somebody that makes them rich.

He says if anyone thinks I'm going to put politics ahead of helping Americans reduce their cost of health care and pharmaceuticals, they are a idiot. Tell me one person who thinks that healthcare economics are well run in this country. I'll tell you who Donald Trump does. If a reporter asked him that, it's a yeah, I'm doing a great job running health care. It's the biggest affordability issue and the greatest fear of most families is that they won't be able to afford a significant health care or medication cost. The goal is the goal and that goal is to change health care. I've been saying it for years and will continue to work on this. The problem, Mark, is you're working with a convicted felon, insurrectionist, war criminal. That's the problem. For you to go to the White House and think that he's not going to rat you. This is petty party of one. Your table's now available. He knows you supported Kamala. He having you walk in there, you gift wrapped yourself, you put a bow on top of yourself and you passed yourself right in front of him. And now you're going to have no credibility. This whole program will have no credibility because you're partnering, partnering with the devil in your quest. And you think, we think for a second that Donald Trump gives a about health care. He just said last week, I don't think about Americans being able to afford stuff. He said it. I mean, he's finally telling the truth. And this billionaire psychosis in this country has reached a new breaking point. Let's pop this up. Elon Musk compares his company's work to that of Jesus. So here's the through line. Of course, Elon Musk is the craziest, most incompetent of all of them. But he thinks he's a savior. And then the same thing with Mark Cuban, he shows up, I'm a savior. I'm going to help all of these poor and sick, sick people. Which the best way to help Americans right Now is to defend defeat Donald Trump and put pressure. Mark Cuban. You should be putting pressure on vulnerable Republican House seats. You should be putting pressure on vulnerable Republican Senate seats. That's the best way to get to a majority where then you can actually enact change with people who give a. About people having health care. Trump and the Republicans, every chance they can get, always, always, always thump their Bible and talk about Jesus and then rat working class Americans, every chance they can get. They did it before Trump. It's on steroids. Doing it with Trump. You going to partner with them is the face plant to end all face plants. And you couldn't even on the White House lawn say, you're goddamn right, I voted for Kamala Harris. You couldn't even do it. Because the desire for these men who have these bank accounts that could choke a bull to go suck up to Donald Trump is a compulsion that I will never understand. I don't have anywhere near any, any close to anywhere near that kind of money, and I never will. And I wake up every morning and say, you, Donald Trump. And these guys think that they have some savior complex. I mean, Elon thinks he's doing the work of Jesus.

Well, it's like the rift, okay, so Trump's followers, you know, want act like he's Jesus, even some preachers. Trump acts like he's Jesus, now Elon's acting like he's Jesus. Peter Thiel's running around with all his Antichrist stuff thinking he's some kind of prophet. Like, these people are crazy. And the fact that they all think they're Jesus, it really does tell you their delusions of grandeur and their megalomania is just. It's clinical beyond anything I've even read about in books.

I think it's even deeper than that. It shows for me when I see this, it shows what disdain they have for believers, what disdain they have for Christians by saying, these people are so stupid. If we Christian signal, if we say we're doing the work of Jesus, if we, you know, they accuse us of virtue signaling, it shows how stupid they believe Trump's space is, in my opinion. All right, that's all we have. Please, like, subscribe and we'll be back later with more news.
