Today we're going to talk about the media dropping the ball as Trump descends into full-blown

corruption. And I've got three interviews. I talked to Jamie Raskin about Trump's $400 million

Qatarie jet bribe, Betto O'Rourke about his recent spade of town halls in Texas and what it signals

for 2026, and Pod Save America's John Favro about Republicans' failed budget bill and what comes next.

I'm Brian Taylor Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

By any objective measure, you look at what Trump is doing right now,

engaging in the most blatant corruption scandals in American history,

and in any normal world, this should be enough

to make front page headlines for the rest of his political career. Trump is taking in literal

billions of dollars from a crypto coin that he launched, again, going to him personally, that

allows him to launder money from foreign investors who want a curry favor with the United States.

He just accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar, which he claims is going to

be used as Air Force One, even though it's doubtful it'll ever be retrofitted as Air Force One before

ultimately just going to him personally. We know that when Trump paired back his tariffs, some people

in the know were alerted beforehand, and they made off with millions of dollars in a pretty

blatant insider trading scandal.

Trump's latest golf trip took place in three countries that just so happened to also have inked real estate deals with the Trump organization.

So we're going to see a Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai, a golf resort in Doha

with Qatar's sovereign wealth funds real estate arm, and the Trump Tower in Jetta, Saudi Arabia.

In other words, Trump is exchanging personal profit for favorable deal terms with the United States.
