The Trump Family Is In Panic Mode

The transcript outlines a growing sense of political urgency ahead of the midterms, emphasizing that the Democratic Party stands at a critical juncture with a strong public mandate to win. Polling data suggests a significant chance of Democratic victory in both the Senate and House, driven by public backlash against perceived corruption in the current administration. Central to the narrative are allegations of bribery and pay-to-play arrangements involving top officials like Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr., including a $50 million UAE payment to influence the firing of Rex Tillerson and a $225,000 auction for access to a hunting trip with a Russian-linked official. The speaker criticizes the Biden administration for failing to act on these scandals promptly, raising concerns about systemic corruption and lack of oversight. There is a strong call for the Democrats to position themselves as the party of law and order, launching robust investigations into conflicts of interest, foreign influence, and financial misconduct. Public sentiment is highly critical of current leadership, with 88% of Americans expressing concern about government corruption. The message is clear: the electorate must vote with full awareness and determination to reject corruption, demand accountability, and ensure that the incoming administration enforces transparency and justice. The urgency is further underlined by the need for early voting and civic participation, as the outcome hinges not on political strategy alone, but on the public’s insistence on integrity and accountability.

One week from today, we are going to have a reckoning. I think it's looking really good for the Democrats. I have voted. Have you voted? Let us know in the comments section. We need to turn out to where this election is too big to rig and keep the global push for voting outfashes. But one week out from the midterms, this is what the Democrats' chances look like. Kylie popped this up. New Silver Bulletin Senate and House Forecast. 75.9% chance DIMS take the Senate. 95.3% chance DIMS take the House. This is a new cycle high, Josh. I'm almost afraid to be that optimistic. But you do feel the public. You do feel the shift by the American people. Like you see it. When you talk to people, you read about it and news outlets and you see interviews of individuals. So I feel like you. I'm very optimistic there's going to be this big blue wave. But I'm too afraid to fall out and just get too excited right now. I mean, we have a home stretch. We have to act as if we're losing. We have to not be confident. But act like every vote counts. And it does. Every vote does count. And I think we all have so much PTSD. Plus a completely corrupt government that reporting is showing they have doomsday scenarios for the incoming hopefully blue tsunami. And you've got an attorney general Todd Blanche who has corrupt as I'll get out. And then a president who is just in a constant state of victimhood. He has never really won anything outright. I mean, this guy always, even when he does, he's still aggrieved by it. And he's setting the psychological soil already to claim that the election was rigged. Pop this up. Aaron Rupar is quoting Trump here. Anybody reporting voter fraud in the past elections or the upcoming 2026 midterm election will be paid $1 million upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the fraud. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump. So I mean, I was thinking, Josh. I think Elon Musk, he offered people $100,000 to vote and then he never paid them. And that sounds pretty fraudulent to me. I think if we just focus on MAGA, I mean, it could be it could be payday city. Unfortunately, that son of a bitch never follows through on any promises that he makes. So it would be off or not. But I think it shows the psyche of Donald Trump. Everything for him is for sale. There's a price tag on everything. That's the way he thinks. That's the way he's always thought. If it's not 5,000 to everybody only a Republicans win or if it's not a $90 check to the seniors or if it's not a $500 check, it's something. Here, it's a million dollars for voter fraud. So that's not really a surprise. For him, everything has a monetary price for it. And we see that and we'll cover probably more stories this morning that talk about the price tag that the Trump administration puts on things. Like just honest services and self dealings. Yeah, and I was just thinking you could report when he called Raffensberger in Georgia and said, please find 11,000 votes that that seems like voter fraud that somebody should have been prosecuted and convicted for. But I mean, as with MAGA, the call is always always coming from inside the house. Then this this it's so exhausting covering these people because everybody in the RAM and everybody at the table is such a corrupt criminal. You have Jared Kushner and there's just bombshell reporting from this new book about Jared and his corruption. Pop this up. According to the book, this tweet is from Karen Piper. According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million U.A.E. payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay to play operative. So they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help. Yeah, and so there's a couple of points here. So Rex Tillerson was Trump's first secretary of state. He sided with Qatar during, I think it was the 2017 Gulf blockade. The U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia wanted Qatar crushed. The book says that the Emirates paid Kushner 50 million dollars to get Tillerson fired. Well, guess what? Tillerson was fired in March of 2018 by tweet, by tweet from Donald Trump. That according to the book, that's the moment that Qatar, they you know, they could see the writing on the wall, what was taking place here. That's when they realized that hey, Kushner is not a diplomat. This guy's for sale. This guy's someone we could buy. And so what do they do? They buy him. They buy his apartment. Didn't we just get this big $400 million playing from Qatar? Yeah, for the president. So you see the writing on the wall here. It's like they're in it with the Saudis and the U.A.E. and they see something happen contrary to what they want. And then they realize, oh, Kushner's in their pockets. Well, then we need to get in his pocket. How do we do that? And that's exactly what happened. Well, and here's my question. If this author of this book, incredible investigative journalism there, if he discovered all of this, when the Biden administration came in, why didn't they discover this? Why weren't there hearings about this? That Qatar injected itself into United States foreign policy, bought off Jared Kushner and had a United States secretary of state fired. Why are we just now finding out about this? Why is it that when democratic administrations come in after Republican administration, we don't go full tilt on this stuff and on this corruption, because they would, they do. They're charging James Comey and all this stuff on chicken shit charges, Latisha James on chicken shit charges. So that's what's really puzzling to me about this. This is a massive scandal. Mass a scandal. And you know, it doesn't take much for me to get matter and matter at Joe Biden and his presidency in Merrick Garland. Like, you know, I agree with you 100%. I mean, that thing was so mishandled, his administration and the prosecution and investigation of these people. I mean, it really was. Like the malfeasance and negligence from that has caused all of this, all of this. I just think we need to be the party of law and order. And if a foreign country pays an American citizen $50 million, then buys their apartments so that they aren't dead about with their apartments any longer, that needs to be a crime. I would call it treason or something. I don't know. I'm not a judge. I'm not a law school professor, but it sounds pretty treasonous to me. And that person needs to be charged, prosecuted and incarcerated. Call me crazy, but why? No, I am. Why are we allowing this stuff to incubate, which going into the midterms, we as an electorate have to put the pressure on this incoming Democratic party, if the, if the Nate Silver polling up there that we talked about at the top of the episode, if that holds true, then that has got to be something they hear from us. We want accountability. You don't get to take bribes and get Secretary of State's fired. And then there be no accountability for it. And now what is he doing? It's worse. If he was doing this in Trump 1.0, what he's doing now with Putin and all of the Saudis, all of that, it's a million times worse. Now we know about these billion dollar bank accounts in all this crap. It's a million dollars worse. And I was, you and I both, where I rate with the Democrats for how they handled this. And I personally thought about leaving the Democratic party. I was so mad. And because we're suffering the consequences of that, and we could see the writing on the wall, when you saw 1.6 and what transpired, you knew that if Donald Trump got back in office, every bit of this shit would happen. Those of us knew that. We knew that in our heart. And sure enough, it's happening. Just like we thought, none of this is a surprise. And it makes, and I hope that we've learned our lesson. When we get this blue tsunami in just one week, hopefully, we take back the Senate, we take back Congress. Hopefully they will have learned their lesson and do exactly what you said. Run on the platform of law and order, hold hearings, oversight, threaten, arrest. If we win the White House back and get the OJ back, all of it. And they can't operate under this. Well, the country's just ready to move on. And they'll never get power again. No, we have to be the party of law and order. Jared Kushner taking bribes, getting rich, having people fired, a secretary of state fired. And Rex Tillerson for the record came out of the whole thing and said, Trump was a fucking idiot. That was his take after working with Donald Trump. Said he was a dangerous idiot. Let me, let me say this briefly. So all the things we see in today's administration, whenever an official or a cabinet member is let go or something like that, think of it in the context of this story. Who's being paid? Who's making money? who's wanting access? Because this stuff happens all the time in today's administration. You know, we didn't know back then when Tillerson was fired. We didn't know the reason. We didn't know that Donald Trump's son-in-law was being paid $50 million. Well, how many of those things are going on today? Right now, when you see a movement and an agency or you see an official position on something, who's being paid for that? Because it's happening like crazy. Right. Okay. And there's also new reporting on Don Jr.'s corruption. Pop this up. Quite the chronology in the FT in May, Putin's associate Umar Kremlin, paid for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding party in the Caribbean. In August, Trump Jr. went to hunt endangered species with Kremlin and Mongolia. He also allegedly auctioned access to the trip for $225,000 in September. Pro-publica broke the wedding reception story. And, you know, we talked about this wedding. So that happens in May and in September, you have this hunt where they auctioned off, you know, people that could come. Well, that's access. So we're going to give you access to Donald Trump Jr. You pay $225,000 to go on this. But the important piece here that the tweet doesn't mention that that with Kremlin was accompanied by Artur, Martyrosif, M-A-R-T-I-R-S-O-V, a partner in the Voss-called investment fund, which is under United States sanctions. So this individual came along because he wanted access to Trump Jr. Because he's a partner in an investment fund that's under sanctions. And so anytime you see Trump making decisions about lifting sanctions in Russia, you have to immediately think, okay, how much did Jr. get off this deal? How much did Jr. go back and tell daddy, hey, I was on this hunting trip, and there's a guy. He is a partner in investment fund, and he's offered X amount of dollars if we can lift those sanctions. Well, is that really a crazy thought to have knowing what we know about Trump and Putin and the sanctions and the diesel? And no, it's not. It happens every day. Well, that's exactly, I think, what happened here. I mean, it's this trip that they took in September was a pay to play. It was all access to Trump Jr. And with Kremlin is this individual who's a partner in a huge investment fund in Russia that's under sanctions by the United States. Boom, that's the part of the story. Yeah, and I think when it comes to these people, you can understand why they freaked out over Hunter Biden's laptop because they project so much of what they would do. Like, there's got to be more in here. There's got to be more because this is what they do when the autopsy on Hunter's laptop was that he liked crack and hookers and sold art. You know, and these guys can't quite understand it. Every, every accusation is a confession. They said, we're going to drain the swamp. No, they're installing the swamp. They are firing people that worked for the federal government that were decent, that were non-partisan. They want those people out and they want to put in psychopaths that are completely loyal. And then we have John Ossoff, Senator John Ossoff in Georgia. He lays out the Democrats plans for oversight. Play the clip. Conduct vigorous oversight of what everybody knows is the most corrupt presidential administration in American history. The priorities of oversight must be the misuse of public funds, the shocking conflicts of interest, the president and first families' self enrichment. Exactly right. And this is why this here, we have to send a message to these people that business, what happened before, when y'all were out, out of power, we're not doing that anymore. It is going to be full-blown investigations into every single thing. And the Democrats need to grab this title of being the party of law and order. And all of these people need to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated. I agree. And was he in a basement there? I mean, it was so dark. That was probably just the lighting. Yeah, I hope he's okay. But I agree 100%. And you know, I've said, that's the platform you run on, investigate, hold these people accountable, prosecute the corruption. Don't run from it. Put an exclamation point behind it. Yeah. All right. That's all we have. Please vote. Leave in the comments if you voted yet. I feel this is just my take. Earlier you vote the better because I think there's going to be a lot of election day fuckery. And so get an early vote. I did. I was in and out in five minutes. Pull workers were fabulous. And I want to thank all the poll workers for volunteering for doing this. But leave us messages in the comment section about if you voted yet. And what the experiences was like because only only we can save us. This is it. There's no, you know, big person that's going to come in and save this. We have to send a message to MAGA that we hate your guts. We hate crime. We hate pedophiles. We hate rapists. We understand y'all have a different opinion on that. It's unfortunate. We have to say it. And we need to send a message to our democratic leaders. There is bipartisan support. 88% of the country is concerned about corruption in government. The tail winds on this are massive. And we expect accountability and prosecution. All right. That's all we have like. Subscribe. Tell us what your voting plan is and we'll be back later with more news.
