| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the rush hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride. |
| 0:07.4 | Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal. |
| 0:13.4 | Good afternoon, everybody, on this Tuesday, May 19th, 2026. I have all of your news for your |
| 0:19.2 | rush hour ride home. We're going to be discussing |
| 0:21.8 | Donald Trump's comments on the new slush fund that was created, $1.776 billion, your taxpayer-funded |
| 0:31.0 | money, that is going to go to victims, as Trump puts it, of weaponization from the government, which really means we're going |
| 0:39.5 | to use our taxpayer-funded money to pay to the families of those violent criminals from January 6th. |
| 0:46.9 | We'll show the footage if you don't believe me. |
| 0:49.2 | It's absolutely wild. |

| 1:40.7 | loyalty outranks law. Have a listen to Trump answering the question about this bogus slush fund. |
| 1:46.8 | Mr. President, the Justice Department has this new fund that was announced today, $1.7 billion. |
| 1:54.0 | Why should taxpayers pay for the January? Well, it's been very well received, I have to tell you, I know very little about it. |
| 2:01.9 | I wasn't involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation. But this is reimbursing people |
| 2:09.4 | that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It's anti-weaponization. They've been weaponized. |
