Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you were waking up this morning and thinking, gosh,
we haven't heard about Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Epstein in a while, Well, gosh, darn, yeah, what's up
with that, young fella?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
We do have Jeffrey Epstein news. Remember his New York
City mansion. It is squeaky clean, the place where he
left behind a painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dress. Well,
it turns out the I guess the renovators are done
working on it. Jeffrey Epstein's former Upper East Side mansion.
Is that an expensive part of town?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh? Upper East Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's undergone a massive, multi million dollar remodeling in an
attempt to scrub all the traces of the pedophile in
a hedge fund manager and his twisted sex crimes that
happened there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
How many barrels of bleach do you think they had
to use on net bleaze? Bro?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
If you took a black light to that place, you
could see it from outer space.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It probably throbbed, it had a pulse. Oh gross.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Do you wonder like because they said that for a
brief period, I don't know if this is still true,
but for a while that was the largest residents, single
occupant residents in the entire island of Manhattan, Is that right?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So someone's got to want it. It's pretty big, But
would you live there? How much did they get for it?
You know, I mean, I'm assuming it's old. If somebody's
renovating it and getting it ready to move into.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, let's start off with this. They did nine hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars worth of renovations in the
first round, and then apparently they did some more. The
historic home is picked up in twenty twenty one for
fifty one million dollars. They say that was They say
that was a bargain.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It was. It was three years ago. It was fifty million.
It was a huge price cut.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It was supposed to be eighty eight million, dear lord,
and they lowered it. Now, while we're on the topic
of the real estate stuff, because of incoming communist mayors
Zorhan mom donni.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh ya, how does that go work out?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
People are fleeing Manhattan, the very wealthy that can afford
to leave whenever they want, because they know he's going
to jack up the city's income taxes, right, which is
crazy even say that out loud, and.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It's already just too high, the rent too damn high.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So, now, if you drive outside of Manhattan, what's that
place in Jersey where it's a bougie suburb right outside
of New York City, Jersey.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, I think there's a name of the town. I
forget what it is.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
They report I read earlier today said that houses there
are selling it something like eight hundred thousand dollars over
the asking price.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Right now, back in his day, Mike Tythan was living
over in a big old mansion in New Jersey. It
was a real nice Everybody is always like New Jersey,
you know, and you think of him, goombas ort him,
him kids on the shore, you know, stuff like that.
There's plenty of places in Jersey it's real nice. Yeah,
I guess because it's close to Manhattan and there's rich
(02:43):
people everywhere. Believe it or not, it's just not in
this room. Now.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
On the topic of famous New York City residents, or
should I say former residents, equally as controversial as mister Epstein,
Luigi Manngione is in the news today.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, he living in a federally operated home at this point.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, he's living in a federal penitentiary down by the river.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Good.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The twenty seven year old accused assassin is making headlines
today for the strangest reason.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Did somebody beat him up in prison? Did he get attacked?
Or is he a champion of his fellow inmates and
they think he did a great thing.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
According to a report today from Anna Young in The Post,
several months before he allegedly murdered the United Healthcare ceo,
he took a trip to Thailand where he was beat
up by seven lady boys.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I was about to say it got to be some
lady boys involved in this news. You go to Thailand,
you gon't have some interaction.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
If I'd read this news report anywhere else, I wouldn't
have thought it was real. But the New York Post,
I mean they broke the Hunter Biden laptop. That's a
real news outlet.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
True.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The twenty seven year old accused assassin allegedly bragged to
his friends over WhatsApp, the social media network, about his
raucous nightlife backpacking through Asia before he returned to the
US in twenty twenty four and obviously allegedly shot the
Brian Thompson United Healthcare ceo. According to the report, very
eyebrow raising message Luigi claimed he had been beat up
(04:10):
by seven lady boys, a colloquial term for the trainees
in Bangkok, and eva, oh clever, and even you met
actual city, that's the name of the Okay, that's where
it happened, and that he shared a photo of his
battered and scratched arm.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
The IVY isn't weird. He's IVY League educated and he's
got a little scratches, a little arm. Oh no.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He took a solo trip in early twenty twenty four,
befriended a soccer player named Christian Sacchini and another unidentified
companion along the way. The soccer player met Mangione in
a Bangkok pub in March and told reporters the accused
killer initially talked about video games and Pokemon, before veering
into a rant about how fed up the US healthcare
(04:53):
system is compared to Thailand.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Did he happen to mention to that guy, the soccer
player friend now that that he was going to go
back to New York and kill the CEO of a
insurance company. Not quite, I didn't mention that.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
But the alleged killer, who's originally from Maryland, by the way,
eventually escaped to the lush mount o mine mountains in Japan,
seeking a slower pace and hoping to meditate and do
some writing by a serene hot spring.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
When did you get all this money to travel to
places like Thailand and Japan and do all of that?
Was he was this family rich.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I'm just speculating here, but one of the things I've
noticed is a lot of these guys, these young like
Zoomer or millennial aged communist revolutionaries like Luigi Mangioni and
Zorhan mam Donni come from very wealthy families. It doesn't
sound like makes sense. I mean, Zoran mam Donnie's another one.
You're a communist, You're from a family that was surrounded
(05:53):
by convenience and affluents and globe trotting lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Remember what communists always know, if they're in charge, communism
ain't going to affect them. That's for everybody else. M m.
They still get to live the good life. Being in
charge of communism is the only good thing about communism.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Before we went on the air early this morning, we
briefly watched a video here in the studio of a
left leaning stand up comedian performing in a small town
in rural New York State, And he made fun of
how desolate and the backwards and poor it was. And
the point he was making wise that well, you know
IBM used to have a plant here, or a fact,
(06:34):
a warehouse or an operation, and they left, and now
the town is poor.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
See when the coal mine runs out of coal and
it shuts down and everybody has no job.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And the point he was making wise, isn't capitalism offul
shouldn't we switch to another system?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh? I see yeah, look at that. Look what happened.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Do you think that in communist countries, small communities outside
big cities are flourishing?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, flourish might be a little bit of a stretch,
but as long as they do as they're told, a
deer leader, might you know, take it easy on them?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Do you where would you rather be living in a
small town in rural New York State or like a
small town in rural Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh? Boy, that's a that's a tricky one. There. I've
been to you know, rural upstate New York. Sure, that's
where West Point is. And you know they got that
Hudson thing, the River Valley and all that kind of stuff.
A lot of a lot of American history going on
up there and stuff, So I'd probably go there. You
can spread out, kind of hide out in the woods.
(07:39):
It ain't all overcrowded like it is New York City.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You see a lot of these in the Rust Belt.
They used to call them, what do they call them,
company towns, like a little town, Toyota City or whatever,
where there used to be something and now there's nothing.
And the point he was trying to make was, isn't
it sad how there's an abandoned kmart here?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, but do you get that in the middle of
no where in China, there was never a kmark.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Right, never had the opportunity to be abandoned.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now we get that capitalism is not perfect. It certainly
has its flaws, but it's vastly better than the alternative.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
When you were talking about the expensive real estate, I immediately
thought about Mark Wahlberg and his family's new home. Mark
Wahlberg has recently joined other Hollywood elites like a Sylvester Stallone,
for example, who've decided Hollywood just ain't for them, especially
if you're raising kids and any of that kind of stuff.
(08:34):
So Wahburg moved his family from Hollywood to Las Vegas
in twenty twenty two, and as now the latest celebrity
to move to Florida, not the Florida that we feature
in a Florida Man story. He has officially purchased a
thirty seven million dollar home, joining Donald Trump, Sylvester Stallone,
(08:56):
Sydney Sweeney, and many others in that part of the
Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I noticed everybody you just mentioned is supposedly a Republicanah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, and so now he lives at the Palazzo de
Lago in Stone Creek, also known as Billionaire's Row. Yeah,
quite nice.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I guess Tom Brady's got a place there too, probably,
and Bezos, if I'm not mistaken. Now I know Brady's maga,
but I don't know about Bezos. Bezos is whatever's cool whatever. Yeah,
do you remember this. I don't remember if we covered
this on the show. Over the last few years, Bezos
has made a big transformation.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He used to be kind of a weakling, and that
what they call him facebooks. He would spend all this
money investing in Democrat politicians in red states. Yeah, and
then right around twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, he
stopped doing that. He got reel into martial arts and
he bulked up. And according to insigners and Amazon, the
reason he did that is because he started taking testosterones
(09:56):
shots and tea shots. Okay, now, there is an over
whelming amount of research that says that when men have
a higher level of testosterone, they're statistically less likely to
be liberal.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's right, They're more normal, regular folks. Most doctors agree.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You know, as a man, you want a healthy amount
of testosterone, and when you do, you become more conservative.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Isn't that remarkable. It's also reported that Jeff Bezos and
his new wife Lauren are building a pretty healthy property
portfolio in Miami, where they've just relocated to after they
left Seattle, where they own two hundred and thirty seven
million dollars worth of property. It's not all one house,
(10:39):
but two hundred and thirty seven million dollars worth.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Of Florida real estate. You know, that's an interesting number.
When we get back from break, I want to talk
about what happened with two hundred and thirty million dollars
involving Joe Biden and Donald Trump. A comparison to both
men stick around.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
People are down, panicky, dangerous animals and you know Itlton
and Johnson. This probably ain't gonna shock nobody, but the
Democrats are outraged. How about what anything Trump does, anything
Trump says, maybe the look in his eye. I think
this is very selective outrage. The Democrats are always pretending
(11:20):
to be worked up over something. You know, the Democrats
got mad when Trump came into town and started fighting crime.
Oh no, that Trump's gonna gonna make crime less. No,
they get mad at him because he shut the government down,
even though everybody knows Chuck Schumer and Senate he's the
(11:41):
one shutting it down. Oh, we're outraged. Now they're outraged
over his ballroom construction at the White House. The Democrats
are They don't have a medium setting, right, it's all
or nothing. It is outrage or they're not interested one
or the other. How many other I mean, obviously January
(12:02):
sixth still keeps coming up. There's most of the things
they accused Trump of and the January six ers and
all that is. It's just not true. Both faith live,
but they continue to do it. You would swear if
you just listen to a Democrat talk about January sixth,
that thousands must have been slaughtered on the steps of
(12:27):
the Capitol as the you know, they took over Washington,
d C. And ran the government for several days or
weeks maybe before we could finally get it under control. Oh,
they were outraged that Trump suggested Nancy Pelosi turn down
his offer of the National Guard. She even says that
(12:50):
that never happened. And of course it's provable that it did.
But the people that listened to the Democrats and listen
to the news that the Democrat cheerly tell you about
on all of the networks, pretty much they just believe
what they're told.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They really do. In fact, there's believe it or not.
There's another misleading news story today about Donald Trump and
what is going to happen with two hundred and thirty
million dollars from the Justice Department. I'll start off with
explaining this story with this. The two hundred and thirty
million dollars part of this new story is made up.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
The New York Times just made up that number. President
Trump has confirmed yesterday that he wants to sue the DOJ.
He wants compensation for all the investigations that happened during
his term. The legal case brought against him after he
left office, he is going to.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Sue the DOJ because, as you know.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Near the end of his term there, the Department of
Justice was doing all kinds of things against the will
of Donald Trump's there's what they call that weaponize.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They weaponized government against that man. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
One example of the many would be that the FBI,
which is part of the DOJ, went to Twitter and
all the other social media outlets and basically pressured them
into not allowing people to share the Hunter Biden laptop story, right,
which turned out to be completely true.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of course, that doesn't matter. It's what you tell people
is true versus what is true. And luckily for the
Democrats at least their voters are dumb enough to just
fall for it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So here's how the legacy media is reporting on this.
The New York Times, the ABC, this happens to be CNN,
but they're all kind of saying the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Breaking developments right now on the President and his plans
for payback. The New York Times is reporting this afternoon
the President Trump is moving to demand that the Justice
Department financially compensate him for the various federal investigations into him.
What exactly does he want nearly a quarter of a
(14:50):
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Two hundred thirty million dollars, that's what they're saying. You're
probably wondering how did they get that amount of money.
They asked him this question yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Are you asking the Justice depart meant to pay you compensation?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
More compensation federal investigations into you? Are you asking them
to pay compensation?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And how much?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
In to me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't get any compensation.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I do it for nothing. I gave up my salary
into me.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No, it's going to be the Justice Department. Are you
asking them to pay you compensation for the federal investigations
that happened to you? And how much are you asking?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Well, I guess they probably owe me a lot of
money for that. Probably, Yeah, that's true. That's very interesting. No,
I get no salary. I gave up my salary. It's
a good salary, not as much as these guys make.
But that's okay. It's a lot of money, and I
don't as you know, I didn't take it in the
first four years. I'm not taking it in these four
years either. But as far as all of the litigation
(15:47):
and everything does appear about, yeah, they probably.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Owe me a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
But if I get money from our country, I'll do
something nice with it, like give it to charity.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Or now, did Donald Trump confirm that he was going
to take two hundred thirty million dollars from the federal
I didn't hear that. And by the way, for this
to happen, which is he's already said it won't, that
would imply that he would win the case that he
was wronged.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They've given that payback for what if they're calling it payback,
it must be payback for something somebody did. But they're
saying they didn't do anything to him. But if we
jeah line.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
But if taking two hundred and thirty million dollars from
the federal government is so egregious, so nefarious, so offensive.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
How dare you? I gotta ask?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
May eighth, twenty twenty five, are report services saying that
Joe Biden spent two hundred and thirty million dollars uh oh,
the exact amount of money to build a peer near
the Gaza Strip. It lasted a week, It lasted well,
twenty days but close enough. A couple of weeks. Yeah,
same thing.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It was pointless and it was a big waste of money,
and nobody ever cared about that at all.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It was a floating raft in the Mediterranean Sea, covered
with broken porta potties and garbage. A new report show
sixty two American troops were injured trying to set this
thing up. It was never used for medical evacuation. It
was never used to administer aid. The pier caused thirty
one million dollars in damage.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
To other equipment. Oh my god, I gotta ask.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Look, I know it doesn't matter, it's a broken record
at this point, but where's the outrage over that? You're
mad that Donald Trump might legitimately win a case that
would help raise two hundred thirty million dollars for charity
because he said he doesn't need it. And by the way,
that two hundred and thirty million dollars you just made up,
But that happens to be the same exact amount of
money that Joe Biden threw into the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sea, just flushed it away. Where's the outrage, Well, the
Democrats are always outraged. Go ahead, make my day. Walton M.
Johnson
If you were waking up this morning and thinking, gosh,
we haven't heard about Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

a warehouse or an operation, and they left, and now
the town is poor.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
See when the coal mine runs out of coal and
it shuts down and everybody has no job.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And the point he was making wise, isn't capitalism offul
shouldn't we switch to another system?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh? I see yeah, look at that. Look what happened.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Do you think that in communist countries, small communities outside
big cities are flourishing?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, flourish might be a little bit of a stretch,
but as long as they do as they're told, a
deer leader, might you know, take it easy on them?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Do you where would you rather be living in a
small town in rural New York State or like a
small town in rural Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh? Boy, that's a that's a tricky one. There. I've
been to you know, rural upstate New York. Sure, that's
where West Point is. And you know they got that
Hudson thing, the River Valley and all that kind of stuff.
A lot of a lot of American history going on
up there and stuff, So I'd probably go there. You
can spread out, kind of hide out in the woods.
(07:39):
It ain't all overcrowded like it is New York City.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You see a lot of these in the Rust Belt.
They used to call them, what do they call them,
company towns, like a little town, Toyota City or whatever,
where there used to be something and now there's nothing.
And the point he was trying to make was, isn't
it sad how there's an abandoned kmart here?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, but do you get that in the middle of
no where in China, there was never a kmark.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Right, never had the opportunity to be abandoned.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now we get that capitalism is not perfect. It certainly
has its flaws, but it's vastly better than the alternative.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
When you were talking about the expensive real estate, I immediately
thought about Mark Wahlberg and his family's new home. Mark
Wahlberg has recently joined other Hollywood elites like a Sylvester Stallone,
for example, who've decided Hollywood just ain't for them, especially
if you're raising kids and any of that kind of stuff.
(08:34):
So Wahburg moved his family from Hollywood to Las Vegas
in twenty twenty two, and as now the latest celebrity
to move to Florida, not the Florida that we feature
in a Florida Man story. He has officially purchased a
thirty seven million dollar home, joining Donald Trump, Sylvester Stallone,
(08:56):
Sydney Sweeney, and many others in that part of the
Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I noticed everybody you just mentioned is supposedly a Republicanah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, and so now he lives at the Palazzo de
Lago in Stone Creek, also known as Billionaire's Row. Yeah,
quite nice.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I guess Tom Brady's got a place there too, probably,
and Bezos, if I'm not mistaken. Now I know Brady's maga,
but I don't know about Bezos. Bezos is whatever's cool whatever. Yeah,
do you remember this. I don't remember if we covered
this on the show. Over the last few years, Bezos
has made a big transformation.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He used to be kind of a weakling, and that
what they call him facebooks. He would spend all this
money investing in Democrat politicians in red states. Yeah, and
then right around twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, he
stopped doing that. He got reel into martial arts and
he bulked up. And according to insigners and Amazon, the
reason he did that is because he started taking testosterones
(09:56):
shots and tea shots. Okay, now, there is an over
whelming amount of research that says that when men have
a higher level of testosterone, they're statistically less likely to
be liberal.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's right, They're more normal, regular folks. Most doctors agree.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You know, as a man, you want a healthy amount
of testosterone, and when you do, you become more conservative.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Isn't that remarkable. It's also reported that Jeff Bezos and
his new wife Lauren are building a pretty healthy property
portfolio in Miami, where they've just relocated to after they
left Seattle, where they own two hundred and thirty seven
million dollars worth of property. It's not all one house,
(10:39):
but two hundred and thirty seven million dollars worth.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Of Florida real estate. You know, that's an interesting number.
When we get back from break, I want to talk
about what happened with two hundred and thirty million dollars
involving Joe Biden and Donald Trump. A comparison to both
men stick around.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
People are down, panicky, dangerous animals and you know Itlton
and Johnson. This probably ain't gonna shock nobody, but the
Democrats are outraged. How about what anything Trump does, anything
Trump says, maybe the look in his eye. I think
this is very selective outrage. The Democrats are always pretending
(11:20):
to be worked up over something. You know, the Democrats
got mad when Trump came into town and started fighting crime.
Oh no, that Trump's gonna gonna make crime less. No,
they get mad at him because he shut the government down,
even though everybody knows Chuck Schumer and Senate he's the
(11:41):
one shutting it down. Oh, we're outraged. Now they're outraged
over his ballroom construction at the White House. The Democrats
are They don't have a medium setting, right, it's all
or nothing. It is outrage or they're not interested one
or the other. How many other I mean, obviously January
(12:02):
sixth still keeps coming up. There's most of the things
they accused Trump of and the January six ers and
all that is. It's just not true. Both faith live,
but they continue to do it. You would swear if
you just listen to a Democrat talk about January sixth,
that thousands must have been slaughtered on the steps of
(12:27):
the Capitol as the you know, they took over Washington,
d C. And ran the government for several days or
weeks maybe before we could finally get it under control. Oh,
they were outraged that Trump suggested Nancy Pelosi turn down
his offer of the National Guard. She even says that
(12:50):
that never happened. And of course it's provable that it did.
But the people that listened to the Democrats and listen
to the news that the Democrat cheerly tell you about
on all of the networks, pretty much they just believe
what they're told.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They really do. In fact, there's believe it or not.
There's another misleading news story today about Donald Trump and
what is going to happen with two hundred and thirty
million dollars from the Justice Department. I'll start off with
explaining this story with this. The two hundred and thirty
million dollars part of this new story is made up.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
The New York Times just made up that number. President
Trump has confirmed yesterday that he wants to sue the DOJ.
He wants compensation for all the investigations that happened during
his term. The legal case brought against him after he
left office, he is going to.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Sue the DOJ because, as you know.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Near the end of his term there, the Department of
Justice was doing all kinds of things against the will
of Donald Trump's there's what they call that weaponize.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They weaponized government against that man. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
One example of the many would be that the FBI,
which is part of the DOJ, went to Twitter and
all the other social media outlets and basically pressured them
into not allowing people to share the Hunter Biden laptop story, right,
which turned out to be completely true.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of course, that doesn't matter. It's what you tell people
is true versus what is true. And luckily for the
Democrats at least their voters are dumb enough to just
fall for it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So here's how the legacy media is reporting on this.
The New York Times, the ABC, this happens to be CNN,
but they're all kind of saying the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Breaking developments right now on the President and his plans
for payback. The New York Times is reporting this afternoon
the President Trump is moving to demand that the Justice
Department financially compensate him for the various federal investigations into him.
What exactly does he want nearly a quarter of a
(14:50):
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Two hundred thirty million dollars, that's what they're saying. You're
probably wondering how did they get that amount of money.
They asked him this question yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Are you asking the Justice depart meant to pay you compensation?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
More compensation federal investigations into you? Are you asking them
to pay compensation?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And how much?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
In to me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't get any compensation.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I do it for nothing. I gave up my salary
into me.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No, it's going to be the Justice Department. Are you
asking them to pay you compensation for the federal investigations
that happened to you? And how much are you asking?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Well, I guess they probably owe me a lot of
money for that. Probably, Yeah, that's true. That's very interesting. No,
I get no salary. I gave up my salary. It's
a good salary, not as much as these guys make.
But that's okay. It's a lot of money, and I
don't as you know, I didn't take it in the
first four years. I'm not taking it in these four
years either. But as far as all of the litigation
(15:47):
and everything does appear about, yeah, they probably.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Owe me a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
But if I get money from our country, I'll do
something nice with it, like give it to charity.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Or now, did Donald Trump confirm that he was going
to take two hundred thirty million dollars from the federal
I didn't hear that. And by the way, for this
to happen, which is he's already said it won't, that
would imply that he would win the case that he
was wronged.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They've given that payback for what if they're calling it payback,
it must be payback for something somebody did. But they're
saying they didn't do anything to him. But if we
jeah line.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
But if taking two hundred and thirty million dollars from
the federal government is so egregious, so nefarious, so offensive.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
How dare you? I gotta ask?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
May eighth, twenty twenty five, are report services saying that
Joe Biden spent two hundred and thirty million dollars uh oh,
the exact amount of money to build a peer near
the Gaza Strip. It lasted a week, It lasted well,
twenty days but close enough. A couple of weeks. Yeah,
same thing.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It was pointless and it was a big waste of money,
and nobody ever cared about that at all.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It was a floating raft in the Mediterranean Sea, covered
with broken porta potties and garbage. A new report show
sixty two American troops were injured trying to set this
thing up. It was never used for medical evacuation. It
was never used to administer aid. The pier caused thirty
one million dollars in damage.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
To other equipment. Oh my god, I gotta ask.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Look, I know it doesn't matter, it's a broken record
at this point, but where's the outrage over that? You're
mad that Donald Trump might legitimately win a case that
would help raise two hundred thirty million dollars for charity
because he said he doesn't need it. And by the way,
that two hundred and thirty million dollars you just made up,
But that happens to be the same exact amount of
money that Joe Biden threw into the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sea, just flushed it away. Where's the outrage, Well, the
Democrats are always outraged. Go ahead, make my day. Walton M.
