How did the administration reportedly erase Trump's tax claims and what was announced first?
The president just made his own government drop all tax claims against him and got a formal government apology while he was at it. Keisha Lance Bottoms just won the Democratic nomination for Georgia governor and could make history. America held a big rededication ceremony on the mall, and we have lots of questions about it. And Stephen Colbert just taped his last late show. CBS says finances. Colbert says Trump. Let's get into it. This is some fucked up shit. This is some unbelievably fucked up shit. Are you ready for this? So, and it is a, it's a plot, it's a scheme, it's corrupt, it's all the things. Donald Trump, I'm gonna take you through it. Donald Trump sued himself. He sued himself, then he threatened, I guess on top of the lawsuit, for billions of dollars, and then he settled with himself,
And then he sent you the bill, suckers. Wait till I tell you what he's gonna pay for with this and who he's gonna pay. The 1776 bill, or I don't know what they're gonna, I guess that's what they're calling. It's 1776, excuse me, $1,776,000,000. That's your money. in a secret fund controlled by people he appointed. No vote in Congress, no oversight, no transparency, paying out to whoever they decide in secret until the day before a new president can do anything about it. This is blatant corruption. This administration is way more corrupt than the Nixon administration. I believe no comparison. the most corrupt administration or regime in American history. And I'm going to explain that until the day before any president can do anything about it.
You want to know who gets paid here? The people who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th, those criminals, the trashy people who did that. The ones who broke windows, smashed doors, beat police officers with flagpoles and fire extinguishers, dragged officers downstairs by their helmets, terrorized lawmakers hiding under their desks, hunted the Vice President of the United States through the halls of Congress, chanting, hang Mike Pence. You guys remember that? Put a gallows out on the lawn. Those people. I'm talking about convicted criminals, people who pleaded guilty in open court, classless, trashy vandals and insurrectionists who desecrated the seat of American democracy. You saw it on live television in front of the entire world.
I'm glad you mentioned that because as we are having this conversation, you've got Todd Blanche on the Hill and you have Donald Trump standing in front of what used to be the East Wing talking about the frickin ballroom right now. And I guess he's getting questions on other things, but this is a photo op for him to get this vanity project that he wants. It's outrageous. What is happening right now? What is going on in this world? This is fucking crazy.
What is the $1.776 billion secret fund and who controls its payouts?
It's like the Fuhrer minus Albert Speer in his toady there with the ballroom. And I want to say this. Anybody that Democrats have a have a have a tendency to to say a phrase during political seasons, which is to assert from the top down what is and what is not a distraction. You hear it all the time. That issue is a distraction. And I'm preparing myself emotionally for the first Democratic leader to tell me that knocking down his ballroom is a distraction. It's not a distraction. Every Confederate memorial that we debate in this country was built in the 1920s at a moment of forward black progress in civil rights. And the response to it was the festooning across the country of marble Confederate memorials built 65 years after the war was over.
And these memorials, these monuments to Trump's corruption, his vanity, his ego, they can't stand it. They have to be knocked down. And trust me, if you can't knock down that ballroom, good luck reigning in the artificial intelligence oligarchs and big tech and big pharma. and all the accumulations of power and corruption across American society. It has to go. His Fuhrer arm has to go. Whatever he builds in the shadow of the Martin Luther King and Franklin Roosevelt memorials needs to go. This is an obsession. This ballroom, the grifting pastor on the lawn of the white on the on the on the on the National Mall talking about God has ordained the construction of Trump's ballroom.
