In short
The hosts argue that younger “oligarchs” and tech/wealthy elites are funding and benefiting from Donald Trump, using government contracts and insider-style access while harming working-class Americans. They claim Democrats aren’t messaging enough about AI replacing jobs and about billionaire “corporate welfare” (tax avoidance, infrastructure reliance, and subsidies). They also attack Fox News/Republican figures and discuss culture-war media groups like Turning Point, plus alleged corruption around the Epstein files and Truth Social.

Key claims and notable examples
Jeff Bezos posting condolences about Dolly Parton is framed as performative; Bezos is criticized for taxes and for funding Melania-related films. A clip alleges OpenAI leaders (Greg Brockman, Sam Altman) are Trump-adjacent and that OpenAI got a Department of War contract. Elon Musk is criticized for tax credits/subsidies and immigration paperwork. Turning Point/Charlie Kirk is criticized for attacking political opponents and “performative” voting. The episode cites DOJ plans to appeal unredaction of Epstein files and criticizes Todd Blanche. It ends with a clip alleging Truth Social “early access” is effectively insider trading.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00all right welcome to i've had it weekend i'm joined by my good friend and frequent guest power YouTuber, Jack Cacciarella. Jack, I want to talk about the oligarchs because they have made an investment in Donald Trump and they want a return on their investment. And they are a lot younger and now they are a lot richer and they are a lot better positioned to do the nefarious things that they want to do. And I'm concerned that the Democrats are not messaging enough that the oligarchs are the ones that are coming for your jobs it was never immigrants that were going to wipe out the workforce it's ai and i'm fearful the democrats are not talking about this what's your thought on that well i also think that in in american culture in which we talk so much about hard work and who's showing up and bootstraps it's also important to message that these people are quite lazy like the easiest way to make a billion dollars is to have 10 billion dollars and then to just wait or to invest in Donald Trump or to insider trade.
1:02It takes no real smarts. It takes no real work. These people are stealing from you. They're buying up assets that your children or your grandchildren, if you're someone like me, you will never have. These people add nothing. They just steal. And yeah, I really want to talk about the return on investment that is Donald Trump because there have been so many instances that this administration lets slip that, yeah, you can just buy this guy off. I'm sure we're going to talk about some of them. So I don't want to let it slip myself first. But I think it's important to talk about the fact that these people aren't smart.
1:34They're lazy. They're scummy. They're gross. And no one would want to be around them. They try to in-group themselves by pretending they're like us. In the early 2000s and 2010s, Mark Zuckerberg would wear sweats and a t-shirt and be like, oh, I'm just like you because I'm a regular guy. And it's like, no, no, you're performing. This is PR. You're LARPing. It's bullshit. And I think we need to get to the heart of that more. And I think we're going to do that right now. So I'm excited. We're going to do it right now. So I want to talk about, first, I'm going to start with Jeff Bezos. Yes. Jeff Bezos is trying to jump in on the death of Dolly Parton.
2:11And there was nobody more opposite of Jeff Bezos than Dolly Parton. And so Jeff Bezos, speaking of performative, speaking of lazy, speaking of trying to clamor on to something that you have no business jumping into. He posts this on Instagram. Dolly spent her whole life showing us what it means to lead with love. Lauren and I are so grateful to have known her. She lifted everyone with her music, her generosity, and her joy, sending our sincere condolences to her family and everyone she touched. Well, the comment sections are not going very well for Mr. Bezos. Pop this up. Dolly was everything that you are not.
2:53Another one. She's telling you here, Jeff, being a billionaire is a moral failing. This is not about you, Jeff. How about you donate some of the billions you have in honor of Dolly? Also, people are saying, be more like her, Jeff, because right now you are not you should follow her example and be a better person you could also take some pointers from your ex-wife delete this unless you intend to do the same uh dolly wrote nine to five buddy she doesn't like you and so this whole eat the rich thing that is coming out of these oligarchs and the disgust that we all saw from trump 2.0 when he won they paid their money and they raced to his side and then they started making him imaginary trophies and imaginary awards and humiliating themselves it has accelerated this disgust that we all have with billionaires and this ether rich sentiment is rising up in america and so i think we have to remember in this independent media space to not only bash maga but these guys are trying to set things up for them to have AI style governments.
4:03And I think that they're trying to straddle both being MAGA and in being pop culture. But what's your take on Jeff Bezos and this performative bullshit? You talk about AI style governments. Did that photo not look like AI? Like, I guess all the billionaires, they themselves look like AI because they're so fake and weird. And like, I'm sure Jeff is on like, all the hormones that Hegseth is trying to inject into our troops. But the response that was like, Jeff, what about your ex-wife is so spot on. I think Mackenzie Scott has given away, it might be more than half the wealth that she had when her and Jeff Bezos got divorced.
4:42And she still has more money now. She hasn't been trying to get more money. It's just having billions and billions and billions and unthinkable amounts of wealth, unspendable amounts of wealth. It only creates more wealth. you can't lose it. At a certain point, you can't lose it. And that's why it's always so fanciful to hear these arguments of, well, you can't tax us rich guys on our assets, on our portfolios, because it's not actually liquid and we might lose it. It's like, well, you've been telling us for a long time that you're really smart guys. And if you can't handle like a 2 % wealth tax, Maybe you don't deserve to have that money because I was told by the billionaire class that it's their smarts that really got them there.
5:31You made the point that super pisses me off. And we always talk about this because Melania doesn't like to sleep with her husband and she doesn't. But her documentary that you said that Jeff financed for her, and unfortunately, she's going to have another one that they're doing at the end of the year for some reason. I didn't think we need a Melania part two. But they spin all of this, the investment in Trump or the Melania shit movie, or I don't even know what it was called. They spin this as a victimless crime. I think that's another important thing to talk about. That, okay, Jeff Bezos gave Melania a bunch of money for a movie that nobody saw.
6:06Who cares? Why are you talking about this? Jeff Bezos will not pay a penny in taxes, himself or Amazon. And it is because they gave Melania$40 million or$10 million or however many million dollars it was. They are stealing from us. That's our money. That is our money. Amazon only gets to exist largely in the way that it does and how quickly it can ship to all over the country because of the U.S. Postal Service. The most expensive part of Amazon's whole business model is the last mile. It's the most difficult part. And now I'm going to get into Amazon logistics for like 15 seconds here, but it's important.
6:47The US Postal Service is such a supplemental part of what Jeff Bezos does. But this is a guy who does not want to pay taxes to allow that to continue to happen that props his business up. So we have given Bezos so much money. He will not give it back. That is not a victimless crime. And I think we should talk about that more. And we should also talk about, Democrats need to talk about charging businesses like Amazon infrastructure taxes. Because they use a lot of the infrastructure because he doesn't have a storefront that pays property taxes. It's the largest retailer in the world without one retail storefront.
7:25And so obviously there's just a lot to get into there, but let's move on to Sam Altman and chat GPT. And this is a video that my algorithm fed me. And I really, really liked it a lot. This is reporting from Ali O 'Brien on how tech oligarchs are funding Donald Trump. Play the clip. Trump's biggest donor. You might think it's Jeff Bezos or some massive oil conglomerate, or maybe a shadowy hedge fund. But what if I told you that the answer was chat GPT? The people paying for Trump to destroy American democracy are the exact same people making AI to take over the world. Because Trump's biggest donor right now is Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.
8:07In 2025, Greg and his wife gave$25 million to the Trump administration. When asked by a journalist, Greg said it was to benefit all humanity. And that's just the beginning of their collaboration. Time and time again over the last year, top leaders from OpenAI, including Sam Altman, have been spotted right by Trump's side in the Oval Office at private dinners and high-level meetings with foreign leaders. And why are they doing it? What's in it for them? It's not just because they agree with Trump's ideology. The money is flowing both ways. Just this February, OpenAI got a huge contract with the Department of War to make ChatGPT the military's main AI system.
8:48All right, we can stop there. As you can see, Jack, this gets to the nuts and bolts of it. It gets to the heart of it. They want government contracts. They want our money. We cannot afford these billionaires. The AI product, I believe has been overblown. My kids and I were joking around with one of the chat bots while we were on vacation, how many months have the letter X in it and AI answered three months, which we know it's zero. But all of these people, whether it's Jeff Bezos, whether it's the Walmart heirs that don't pay their employees enough, so we you have to fund SNAP because they won't raise minimum wages in these areas, etc.
9:29Or chat GPT. All of the link of it is sucking the blood out of working class Americans, then blame them, say you're lazy that you don't have health care, you're lazy that you can't afford stuff. Meanwhile, they continue to rig this system. Allie O 'Brien goes on in that video to talk about OpenAI's net worth right now is incredibly, incredibly fragile. And at the end, she says, if we were to lose all of their memberships, the company should go completely out. So her Instagram is like cancel chat GPT or something like this. And y 'all should go check her out and cancel chat GPT if you have it. But all of these people are corporate welfare queens, every last one of them.
10:11I think they should just get their asses up and work. I think we just need to take the same language that they use on us and redirect it to them. It's like, oh, you're suckling at the teat of the government you need all your contracts to stay afloat elon musk only exists because of the government there is no bigger a legal immigrant welfare queen than elon musk i think it's important that we continue to point out this man was an illegal immigrant right he he was coming here for for college and then he dropped out he was working illegally he did not have the correct paperwork and these are the people who will look a one-year-old in the face in a court hearing and say in an immigration court hearing and say well you need to fill out your paperwork as a one-year-old but it's not a problem when elon who's the supposed genius is at pen and he's not doing his proper paperwork but elon would not exist if it wasn't for the tax credits for electric cars in california if it wasn't for all the money that we gave to tesla or all the money that we gave to spacex and and it's especially infuriating between because like our government is a scam right now everything happening in the trump administration is a scam that is trying to make everyone in the trump family rich but our entire economy is a scam as well all of these people are being propped up and and sure yes americans do have large investments average americans you know collectively large investments in 401ks and retirement funds but really all of this is is existing to prop up the wealthiest of the wealthy and that's what it's all about and And whenever it all falls apart, as it did in 2008, 2009, we're going to be the ones holding the bag.
11:49And that's what Elon wants. That's what all these tech guys want. That's what Sam Altman wants. He's already talking about a bailout. They're already talking about a bailout. So I think we should tell these people, hey, if AI is so great, or if SpaceX is so great, or if Amazon is so great, and you're so smart and such a genius, why can't you do it on your own? Why can't Walmart pay their employees? Why do we have to double pay for Walmart? You know who the biggest beggar for SNAP to be returned when Donald Trump was cutting it off, when Donald Trump was saying no more food assistance. Do you know who is screaming the loudest for all that money to continue to flow throughout the entire country?
12:24It was the Walton family because they need those dollars to be spent at their stores to prop them up. They don't care about people eating. They care about their profits. But there is so much SNAP money that goes through Walmart. If you want to talk about the welfare, it's with them. They are the people who are taking it. And I'm just so tired of us, and it's not you and I, we're doing this work. I'm glad this is what we're talking about. But the narrative to be that these guys are geniuses, they're not. They have good PR. There is no PR for the working class. There is no one who is advocating for the largest majority in the country versus working people.
13:01There is lots of PR for Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and Sam Altman and all of these guys to create this false narrative that they are geniuses who came from nothing, who are just like you, who have made really prudent decisions to get to the place that they are. That is not true. You cannot save your way to a trillion dollars. It's just math that isn't feasible. You can steal your way. You can scam your way. And it makes me especially sad that the people who have had the most financial success in an era in which America largely does not make anything, but instead moves money around and scams and steals are the scammers.
13:41And they have taught a whole generation. And it's sad with Gen Z, and I'm sure you talk about it with your sons all the time, that there is like a reverence amongst our generation for scamming, for ripping people off, for cheating. And it comes downstream of Trump and it comes downstream of Elon and Zuck and all of these guys who ultimately are liars and that's how they have cultivated their fortune. And so, you know, that's my little soapbox a little bit, but it's so detrimental to the culture and it's got to be called out. All right. Let's shift gears and talk about some culture that needs to be called out.
14:17And it's the culture of turning point. And turning point does the work of trying to stunt the natural evolution of people growing once they get outside of their parents' home and they open up their brain even more to that next step. A lot of conservatives have sent their kids to colleges, and then the kids open their minds up and a liberal comes back home. And that's because facts have a liberal bias. And Turning Point knows this, and Charlie Kirk knew this, and his benefactor that died of COVID because he refused to get vaccinated, he knew this as well. And so Turning Point is still continuing on the Charlie Kirk show.
14:59And oftentimes they say the quiet part out loud. And I think whoever the guy is running against Susan Collins up in Maine needs to clip this and run it over and over and over again. Play the clip. You know what's interesting about Susan Collins? A lot of people in our base don't like Susan. I totally understand that. JD was campaigning for her in Maine this morning. So that's interesting. And Charlie always gave Susan Collins a pass because We want the most conservative lawmakers we can get. And here's the truth with Susan Collins, that when we need her, she's been there. When they need her, she's been there.
15:34And that is so true. Truer words have never been spoken. When you need Susan Collins to vote for somebody who has been credibly charged by multiple different people of sexual assault, to be a Supreme Court justice, she is there. When you need for her to not impeach Trump and say, oh, he's learned his lesson, she is right there. When you need for her to not hold Supreme Court justices accountable that lied during their confirmation hearings that they felt that Roe was settled, she was there. Susan Collins is the snakiest snake on the planet. There are women in my home state that do not have privacy at their OBGYN appointments.
16:19Because of the moral failings of Susan Collins, she is a bought, paid for, anti-woman, hardcore right winger. And she needs to be painted as such at all times. I need to also say you're so right that when you need her, she's there. But what is almost as maybe not maybe it's even more insidious is that when you don't need her, she's not there. She does the thing where it's like, oh, they don't need me for this vote. I'm going to take a principled stance against Todd Blanch and I'm going to vote. It's like, no, no, no, no, no. You're doing that because they don't need you. There's no principle. There's no strength.
16:56There's no nothing. And that's the most insidious part because you're not actually taking a stand. You're not doing anything. It's so performative. And on the privacy part, if we're talking about Republicans in the Senate who don't take a stand, Mitch McConnell is dead. So he can't take a stand. What's going on with him lately? Yeah. So Mitch McConnell has spent his entire life fighting against the right to privacy as enshrined it should be in our constitution until Roe v. Wade was overturned because Mitch McConnell had worked his entire life, decades upon decades to do so. And now we got to give him privacy?
17:31I thought he was against the right to privacy. I thought he didn't mean to believe in it. And now we don't get to hear anything about Mitch McConnell. I think he is probably brain dead. We can only hope. We wish you well, Mitch. I think so too. Okay. Let's now listen to a clip from journalist. Those of you that are listening, I did quotations. Laura Ingram. And here she is. She's warning. She's a lesbian friend of the show. Lesbian friend of the show. We wish her well. Here she is warning Republicans. Play the clip. But I do think Ned's right that there's some of these states like Kansas and Mississippi that are going to sneak up on Iowa.
18:09Yes. Yeah. I think there are a number of states that Republicans better get better, get their act together. I was one of them. Matt, Michael, both of you. Thank you. You better get your act together, Republicans. Yeah, because if you don't, then that hot Abdul, ooh, he's so smoky and so sexy. He's going to, he's going to, we're going to make sure he wins and then, ooh, what's going on? Does she like Dr. Annie Andrews down in South Carolina? Is she going to get all hot and bothered over that one too? You know, I like him. I like him blonde, Laura. Laura goes, ooh, I like him blonde. I like AOC's raven hair.
18:41And that red lipstick. And she said that raven locks and that red lipstick. And then somebody else was like, of course, AOC is gorgeous. And another one of them, you know, Sean Hannity's wife, she was like, I didn't know what all the fuss was about. So I got on, you know, Hassan's stream and I started watching it. And, you know, I think she said he was good looking and all this stuff. And the funny thing is they won't have, they like to talk shit but they won't have anybody like this on yeah that is is his son like the most talked about person who's never been invited on any of these platforms like all they do is talk about him and they won't let him on which is the biggest tell that there is he's dying to go on fox too i mean he's dying he's asked he's asked hannity he's asked rogan they won't let him on cnn they won't let him on cbs every day he watches every day during a stream he loves the five they should they should replace uh i love we love jessica we love jessica but like let her let her you know swap in hassan for a segment or two right i think i think you know we talked about we've talked about how jesse waters loves being dominated by big strong men and so i think jesse would get a kick out of it he might need to bring you know a separate pair of pants but yeah you have a blast i don't they can't keep talking about him and not have him on it's just it's loser behavior and that's what they are they're losers you also saw that michael la rosa you know you've been following to Michael.
20:01He's disgusting. Did you see that C-SPAN clip of him? Yes, unfortunately. It's just these people are sad. They're sick. They believe nothing. And they're always so focused on themselves. It's such a petty personal politics. And you even see it with the corporatists and the Democratic Party, where really more than anything, they just want their opinion to be valid. It's why they talk about this kind of vapid means nothing electability that they somehow know about they tell us all the time well we got to do this or that or what i want to quote unquote win elections but then when we talk about how unpopular israel is like no when we say we should maybe pass medicare for all they're like no it's like what is account what is electability if not maybe doing the things that the people who elect you want they just want to feel important it's gross i completely agree all right the trump administration is of course still trying to cover up the epstein files because Donald Trump is in the epicenter of them.
20:55Pop this up. Trump's Department of Justice reportedly plans to appeal a ruling requiring the Trump admin to unredact all documents from the Epstein files. And so I believe, this is my opinion, that Todd Blanche was put in there because he showed Trump when he went to put out the fire of Ghislaine Maxwell. well, that he proved his loyalty to Trump, that he would keep her at bay. This is just my opinion. I think he's told her, I'm going to move you to a different prison. You're going to get an emotional support animal. It's going to be a lot better for you. And when the time is right, when it's politically convenient, all of your pardon ready, and you just need to shut the fuck up.
21:39And I think the fix is in on this thing. I think Todd Blanche is at the epicenter of this fix i think he is a criminal lawyer that is actively breaking the law the department of justice has been completely turned upside down all for the protection of pedophiles because if i've said it once i'll say it again maga is an anti-family pro-pedophilia death cult and it's not just this republican regime go back to george w bush go back to the others they all do the same shit it's the same thing and not that i need to get us started talking on this because if i do we'll never stop but i can't believe that there are democrats who are attacking hassan piker right now we have u.s service members trying to take their own lives because the conditions on the uss abraham lincoln are so bad and so much worse than how glenn maxwell is living in prison with her puppy and her yoga and i think maybe the angriest i've been which is difficult because there's so many times during this Trump administration is when that photo came out of Ghislaine Maxwell walking through her prison yard with an umbrella because it was a little too bright out.
22:49And I looked it up. It was 76 degrees in Texas. Now, I'm from Florida. It gets a little hotter than 76 degrees. Some places in the South certainly does in Texas. She's walking around with an umbrella because, oh, I couldn't possibly, as the disgusting sex criminal I am who deserves to rot in a prison and then burn in hell for eternity. I couldn't possibly have a little bit of sun on me. And that's what Donald Trump has set up for Ghislaine Maxwell. She gets doordash, she gets a puppy, she does yoga, she plays video games. They're constantly helping her with her pardon that she will get. And yet we're talking about Hassan.
23:25We're not talking about how this is the difference between how Donald Trump treats our troops and how Donald Trump treats his pedophile friend who he wished well. Has Donald Trump wished well any of our service members that he's killing. He told them that they needed to endure more pain. There are so many things to talk about right now besides slandering Hassan. And yet, nope, we're going to focus on that. It is such a failure. And some people will say that this is wild or a conspiracy theory, but there are those in the center who want an Abdul to lose or who want a Will Lawrence to lose or who want progressives to lose to say, look, we told you, you can't run these people.
24:03And so, you know, you hate to say it, but it feels very true that like they'd be OK if we lost. They'd be OK losing core races, talking about the wrong things, because every single day that, you know, the mainstream media or the establishment forces down another round of Hassan stories. It is not giving Abdul the opportunity that he has taken every single time to talk about how Donald Trump has failed as president, how this Republican Congress has failed at holding him accountable. and they just don't want to let him do that. And it is a deliberate effort and it is undermining our ability to win.
24:38And so I just don't want to hear from anyone that it's progressives when we are the ones who are talking about the shit that actually matters. It's just infuriating and it's going to cost everyone. We have such a real opportunity here and it will actually bear fruit if we're talking about the things that matter. Yeah, and I do think there is a fringe of corporate Democrats that don't want the Abdul El-Sayed candidates because they can't be bought. Like the biggest thing about Zoran was like, oh shit, he's incorruptible. Like we're not going to pay him off. That's Bernie's incorruptible. And that's what it is.
25:15I do believe that there are moderate Democrats in Michigan that have no problem voting for Abdul. I think these loudest fringe voices that are freaking out about Hassan, my message to them would be what my message is to MAGA that doesn't like drag shows. Don't go to drag shows. Don't watch his streams. Unfollow him from social media because you have agency in this and you don't get to dictate who Abdul campaigns with. And if that's a deal ender for you, then let it be a deal ender. But I have a problem with you not defending the Islamophobic attacks against Abdul El-Sayed and allow an incredible amount of lies about him that like he wanted 9-11 and all this crazy shit that his opponent is saying just as using racism to scare the electorate is such a moral shortcoming.
26:11But let's close with this. Here's a video of Trump advisor admitting on live television that the truth social grift is allowing insider trading. Play the clip. Donald Trump is selling early access to his Truth Social for$100 ,000 a month where you can get insider information about stocks in the Iran war. You're the communications advisor for Truth Social. How do you justify that? It's not insider information. It's what other companies are doing. This is what competitors are doing. Well,$100 ,000 a month is only a label for like$100 ,000. They're not getting insider trading information. They're getting early access.
26:56and this this is unbelievable wait who are the competitors that that's like we so are there are there competing competing platforms that have trump like insider trading information on them that was my favorite part of that clips like these are what the competitors are doing like who right like i need to see in on this scott that's it cnn doing this like is cnn like is Is that a thing where they have a story that they can break? Is there like a Maggie Haberman subscription where you get early access to stories? Who are the competitors? So framing this, I love that. Framing this as like a necessary evil.
27:32It's like, well, we got to make a profit. It's like, well, first of all, you don't. And that's what we see so much justification of these companies is like, well, we got to make more money. It's like, you don't. There are no competitors. And then, yeah, this is obviously insider trading. And one of my favorite instances, you talk about the tell all. But when J.D. Vance was asked about this, this was a few months ago when he was hosting the press briefing. Do you remember when J.D. Vance hosted the press briefing and it was just like smug assholiness for an hour? But J.D. was asked about Donald Trump's insider trading.
28:03He was asked about all of his stock trades. And it was one of my favorite fuck up lines from J.D. Vance because he was asked, what's going on with the 30 ,000 trades that Donald Trump has made in his presidency? and JD being the smug guy that he is goes, you know, I don't know why the press is talking about this in such a way. It's not like Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office with his Schwab account making the trades himself. It's like, yeah, we know. Like that's, it's worse that there's a whole racket around him. And that's what they're admitting here. Like, yes, yeah, it's early access.
28:36And when we're letting lots of people have it, yeah, that's a problem. We understand that it's a corruption racket of so many people if it was just donald trump you know picking a stock and then telling natalie to post about how great it was that would be horrible but the fact that there are so many people and it's the reason that natalie harp needs to be subpoenaed by the way it's the reason that she needs to be brought in before congress to testify because we don't know what news and information she has about what's on donald trump's phone but it's such a broader operation and and they just continue to tell us that every single time yeah it's the i mean the executive branch is a total crime syndicate and so another thing that we need to dismantle in all of the republican propaganda is that they are the party of law and order which is total they are the party of crime and disorder and corruption all for this man but which is why i started this whole episode about who is expecting an roi here a return on investment and these younger oligarchs and so i think we have to constantly there's so many people we need to beat up on in this space all the time so jack thank you for joining me on beating up on the uh oligarchs because i've had it with them and um yeah and you guys can watch me on jack's live show it's on the midas touch right it's gonna be on my touch it's gonna be on my channel on sunday always live at noon and and who else could be our first guest you have you have front billing because of course you do.

30:03So, so tune in around. We did a little trade. We did a little trade. We did a little trade. And this was a, and then there was no insider information exchange. There were no state secrets. There was nothing. This is just fair market to market. And it's, and it's fair and balanced. We were fair and balanced. Exactly. All right. Thanks, Jack. Thanks, Jen.
