1:02All right, I've been making the rounds in MAGA Media, Fox News, the New York Post, and a bunch of other rags. And now my stance on homeschooling, which Pumps and I talked about on our podcast, I've Had It, that the evangelical movement encourages homeschooling, that discourages critical thinking that teaches creation creationism that teaches that dinosaur and man lived on the planet at the same time is stupid and it is a policy of trickle down stupidity has reached the top levers of the united states government the department of education has tweeted about me pop this up this came out this morning you can see they retweet the new york post and the new york post tweets far left podcaster jennifer welch blasts homeschooling as trickle down stupidity and a fundamental crazy Christian problem.

1:53The Department of Education should be busy. But instead, they tweet, homeschoolers, like the winner of the President's 7076 award, have demonstrated their ability to succeed at the highest level time and time again. The proven value of homeschooling should never be dismissed as trickle-down stupidity. The only thing that is stupid is your ignorance. And to this, I have to say, Linda McMahon, your husband is credibly accused of sexual assault like everybody else in your regime. And it is widely known from the president's mouth that he likes the poorly educated. It is widely known that the fascist project likes to keep the electorate dumb.

2:35It's widely known that you want to close down the Department of Education. You are the ringleader of the trickle down stupidity. And if you're so all chips in on homeschooling, then I expect every single person in the MAGA regime, Katie Miller, Caroline Leavitt, all of them, to go full trad wife and get out those dinosaurs and man booklets like the Duggars have. And you homeschool your kids. Wow. What do we say to that? We've talked about the Department of Education loves to dummy down American people. They want stupid people. Just as you point out, if you're educated, if you know anything about science or analytical thinking, you're not a friend of MAGA.

3:22So what is the Department of Education doing? By the way, it's a pretty hot photo of you. I must say they could have drummed up a lot of other photos that may have been less flattering. But seriously, what are they doing with their time when they're tweeting things about a podcaster from the New York Post article? I mean, where the fuck are we? What is this? Exactly. I appreciate the coverage. All it does is drives more traffic to all of our channels and we make more money. So I appreciate that, Department of Education. But you don't need to be meddling in what podcasters say. And regardless, regardless of what you tweet, I double down, triple down, quadruple down.

4:05Homeschooling that the MAGA fascist project wants to promote is trickle down stupidity. And all your tweet did was prove my point because your tweet was stupid. It was stupid. And that's trickling straight on down. And speaking of breathtaking moves by the federal government, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett talks about explaining to her son why she had to wear a bulletproof vest. Let's play the clip. I would just share a little bit about how the threats have affected me and my family personally. They have required me to, my children, to think about and see things that children should not have to see or think about.

4:50One example is when threats to my life were particularly intense a few years ago around the time of the Dobbs leak. My security details sent me home with a bulletproof vest and I carried it into my house, put it into my bedroom, dropped it down on a table, turned around and my 12-year-old son was standing in the doorway of my bedroom and he wanted to know what it was and why I had it. and I didn't know how to respond because maybe I lack imagination, but I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was and what.

5:24Wow. Having to live in the world that she rules on, having to live in the world that she has created. I too, Amy Coney Barrett, had to pick up my son one day from school and he came out to the car and I said, how was school day? And he said, we did our drills i said oh tornado drills because we're from oklahoma he said no active shooter drills and if only we had a supreme court that valued life over profit as you claim your catholic faith uh makes you do amy coney barrett you actually have the power to change this but every day you choose to value profit over human life because you're a hypocrite and you don't care about kids.

6:05She talks about the performance of her service and what she fails, I think, to address specifically is her position on guns in our society and what's her previous history with that. And before she was a Supreme Court justice, she sat on the Seventh Circuit and one of her opinions involved actively, proactively arguing that the government cannot permanently disarm a nonviolent felon. And she goes into the whole doctrine of Second Amendment rights. And since she's been on the Supreme Court, she's ruled in numerous cases, one of which is NYSRPA versus Bruin, where she joined the majority and recognized a right to carry handguns in public and requiring gun laws to fit the nation's historical tradition.

6:54She has been a part of the problem. And so when you're talking to your son about why you have to wear a bulletproof vest, you need to explain to him that in America, it's way too easy for children, for mentally ill people to have access to firearms, to assault rifles. And there's a reason for that because justices on this Supreme Court have allowed it because as you said, they're bought and paid for. And so tell that part of the story to your son. This isn't mommy going to work and she has to wear a bulletproof vest because we live in such a divisive culture. It's not just that. Now, the divisive culture part, you might also want to think about the person that appointed you and how he has made social media divisive and violent.

7:45That's another part of the discussion. But her record on guns and accessibility to the public doesn't leave her any room to complain about wearing a bulletproof vest. That just shows sort of her willful, blindfold ignorance about this particular topic. Her willful hypocrisy. I mean, an honest answer, Justice Coney Barrett, would be to look at your child and say, because mommy and her friends vote for the rights of guns more than we do the rights for ourselves or for you. And that is the truth. And moving along here, we have Todd Blanche, and he was asked about anti-weaponization fund at the Senate confirmation hearing.

8:27Let's play the clip. And then Josh, I want to get your take on this. Well, yes, it's an enforceable document. So I suppose if President Trump's counsel sought to enforce it, they potentially could. Including the weaponization fund? Well, they could try to enforce the contract. They can't force the Department of Justice to move forward with the weaponization fund. They could potentially say that, I suppose, that we breached by not moving forward. They haven't done that, and I'm not aware that they're planning on doing that.

9:02What do you say about that? So if we know anything about Todd Blanche, we know that he doesn't tell the truth, right? I mean, if we objectively know anything about this man, we know that he lies at will. And I don't want us to forget the fact that just this past Monday, the court in Florida issued a scathing order against Mr. Blanche and referred, in fact, referred the clerk to issue this order to the pending bar complaints against Mr. Blanche in both the state of New York and D.C. based on his involvement in the Trump versus IRS lawsuit. So let's not forget that as he goes into this hearing, we have all of these pending issues, disciplinary proceeding issues about his honesty and integrity.

9:49Listen, he's answered that the slush fund, the$1.8 million slush fund is dead. Does anybody believe that? No, it's not in writing. There's an argument, and Senator Corn, I think, points this out, that there's nothing that prevents Trump from trying to enforce this so-called agreement via a breach of contract action. There's nothing in writing. Lip service from him means absolutely nothing. Senator Corn even said after the fact, he basically confirmed that the$1.8 million slush fund is not dead. So I think anything else that you take away from this is the fact that Todd Blanche lies. He can't be taken at face value.

10:32And the fact that either of these senators think that he had a good day yesterday to me is jaw dropping. We've raised the bar so low with this man that if he just comes across as somewhat competent and maybe tells the truth a fourth of the time, we want to say that he's having a good day. It's embarrassing. Completely embarrassing. And now the Trump administration subpoenas law firms pop this up. New and breaking behind closed doors, a battle has erupted between Trump admin and law firms that cut deals last year. The firms have lawyered up. DOJ is demanding the firm's leaders sit for depositions.

11:17At the center of it all are questions about the role Boris Epstein played in the deals. And I don't think this is any relation because of the spelling of Jeffrey Epstein. But Epstein, Trump's personal lawyer, not a government official, brokered the$940 million deals and the White House is fighting to hide his communications about them. If Discovery exposes his role, it could confirm a private fixer ran a coercive pressure campaign against big law. Isn't this what happens when you bend the knee to Trump? And I just want to point out that one of the very first law firms that bent the knee to Trump, the main partner of that law firm, surprise, surprise, appeared where?

11:58In the Epstein files. And I want to further remind every single one of you that resist every single day this administration, that do not obey in advance, that all of these people that bend the knee are the most powerful and the most well positioned to resist. And the strongest in America are actually the weakest. The strongest on paper are the weakest. They bend the knee first. Of course, this was a coercive pressure campaign. Of course, that's what it was. Of course, it was a shakedown. And part of this dealt with the law firms. There's some blowback on Jack Smith's affiliation, I believe, with several of these law firms.

12:44The law firms are trying to keep their security clearance. I mean, we knew when all this was happening in real time, it was nothing but a complete shakedown. And the American Bar Association, I think, was upset that these law firms were capitulating to Trump and agreeing. to his demands. And the irony now is that those law firms back in time that stood up to President Trump, they won their cases in court. They litigated those cases. They won those cases. And the law firms that settled with Trump, well, guess what? You're stuck on your deal with the devil and you're having to bend over and take it now.

13:21And it's embarrassing. It was embarrassing in real time seeing this as a lawyer thinking that, you know, they're going to donate$940 million of pro bono work toward Trump. Convicted, felon. Yeah, yeah. Towards a criminal. Yeah. And this is basically, think about this, this is basically Trump's personal lawyer dictating the demands of some of the biggest law firms. And it's his way or his effort to try to control these law firms and what they do and what they can't do. So, you know, you get in bed with him, you're stuck with him. The ones that litigated it and fought it in the courts, they're out.

13:57Yep. All right. And Larry and David Ellison, the father-son failures, cheaters, liars, the people who want the system rigged exclusively for them, we don't hate them enough. These are the people that ruin 60 Minutes. These are the people that allow and placate to Trump's fear of comedians. You know, he's so scared of Jimmy Kimmel and he's so scared of Stephen Colbert because he's such a tough guy. Well, Trump is surrounded, as we all know, by a harem of trad wives. And these trad wives are men, submissive men that cannot grow a pair and stand up for what is right. And David and Larry Ellison are sued now by a Paramount shareholder.

14:50Let's pop this up. Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison and his dad, Larry Ellison, have been sued by a Paramount shareholder who alleges they cut an illegal deal with Donald Trump to secure U.S. government approval for the takeover of Warner Brothers' discovery. per the lawsuit, the Ellison's side deal with Trump included the opportunity to improperly funnel cash to the president by setting his legal claims against CNN, by settling his legal claims against CNN, as well as the alleged firing of CNN anchors whom Trump does not like. You know what this is? These are pussies. These are people that lie and cheat.

15:39They can't build their company without rigging it and doing a shakedown with the president. And Donald Trump gets his feelings hurt by a CNN anchor. You're the president of the United States and a CNN anchor hurts your feelings like Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert does. These guys, I mean, this is a man who wears a full face of makeup every single day. It's laser focused on his interior design projects is in horrible health. And all of these men that have bank accounts and net worse that could choke a bull, go and bend the knee. And just like you say, darling, once you start playing with him, you're stuck with him.

And humiliate and corrupt. And because every threat of every story that we've done just today has dealt with some in some way, the Trump administration strong arming someone using using their power in a way to financially benefit themselves.

18:30And this is no different. This is just basically, look, we'll squeeze this merger through with Paramount and Warner Brothers. We'll do that in exchange for, number one, we want you to settle the lawsuit against 60 Minutes for$16 million, by the way, if you'll do that. But also, if you'll free up a bunch of money, millions of dollars in advertising, you know, he's got it. And of course, they're just agreeing to all of this stuff. There's no way that this merger would normally pass muster the way that it has without any scrutiny, unless everybody was told to turn the other cheek. There were DOJ lawyers that were wanting to raise issues about this that were told to stand down.

19:13You know, there's a whole antitrust division, the Department of Justice, that works on cases just like this to make sure that these mergers are fair and legal to the consumer, to the American people. Well, guess what? Nobody gives a fuck about them. All we care about are profits and corporations and sidekicks and, you know, all the money. Yeah, ass kissing and funneling money here and funneling money there. And when are people going to wake up? That's all this is. I mean, since we've covered these stories, it's just one grift after another grift, and you don't have to be intelligent to figure this out.

19:49Trump is making millions. I mean, I think just a week or two ago, his net worth was in excess of$3 billion since he'd taken office. I mean, it's right in front of our eyes. It's amazing. Don't worry, darling. They have J.D. Vance, this fraud czar, and he's getting right in on that. All right. And finally, our last story of the day, the Daily Beast is reporting about a new Peter Thiel lawsuit. Peter Thiel's bombshell private jet lawsuit revealed Peter Thiel's husband, Matt Danzenzian, head of private investment at Thiel Capital, is accused by a flight attendant of assaulting her aboard Thiel's private jet in July of 2024, allegedly injuring her ankle so badly she needed surgery.

20:42And she and he sued her first, which her lawyers call an attempt to weaponize the courts to silence her. Her federal counterclaim names both Danzinsian and Teal Capital and alleges at least two other flight attendants quit after similar treatment. And, you know, everybody knows that Peter Teal, he is this really weird character. So he is a gay man and he is kind of like some weird sect evangelical. And he decided, Peter Thiel, that he doesn't think democracy is that great anymore. So a normal person would then put their name on the ballot and run and try to get elected and then invoke that change.

21:31Peter Thiel is a pimp and he just hires prostitutes. One of the prostitutes he hired was our fraud czar, J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance, everybody saw him before he went to Peter Thiel's Silicon Valley. He was kind of sloppy, a little bit heavier, kind of said some normal things like Trump is America's Hitler, you know, which a four year old could say. I'm not giving him credit because that's just as obvious as the day is long. Well, Peter Thiel pays off, hires J.D. Vance. He goes out there and then comes back looking like he got queer-eyed and talking like a Nazi. And so Peter Thiel has very dangerous plans for this country.

22:13So does it surprise me that his husband is slapping around flight attendants because these people think they're so entitled that they can probably treat somebody who they think is a job so beneath them as a flight attendant? that they are to just service them. There's no respect or decorum. I mean, this is the way I think the whole lot of them all behave. And it was on there, it shows how bad it must have been because this happened on their own private plane, right? These were employees on his plane. So, So, yeah, people like that, people that are so entitled, hypocritical, mean, they're going to do and say whatever they want to.

23:04And this is just another example of that, of taking, you know, an action against someone like that, a flight attendant that's sort of serving at your mercy. And there's no doubt that people like that think that they can do pretty much anything they want to. to this poor woman. So I hope that she gets her day in court. I have no doubt that he probably weaponized the court system. These Trumpers are so brazen about how they do things about, I'll just sue her first. And that way it will discredit any claims that she has. I'll just fuck with her first. And that's how they think. They're diabolical.

23:41It makes perfect sense they would do that in this instance. Hopefully she gets her day in court and gets a judgment. All right, that's all we have. Thanks for joining us, Josh. We'll be back later with more news.
