Thank you and all for joining us tonight. We have a lot to get to in the next hour of the readout,

including a federal judge ruling that the Trump White House has violated his order to restore

frozen federal funding, raising a big what if. What if Donald Trump just decided to, you know,

just ignore that judge and other courts that tell him his actions are illegal. And Donald Trump promised to lower grocery prices, he said, and I quote,

when I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.

But they're still rising and he suddenly doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

But we begin tonight with waste, fraud, and abuse.

First, the waste.

reducing government spending? Before the game, Trump greeted players from the Kansas City Chiefs and predicted they would snag a three-peat victory, after which they promptly lost badly.

With Patrick Mahomes getting sacked so many times, it was almost as if Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville didn't entirely make up the idea that he was the one who scouted him and

actually coached him in the entire chief's offensive line too. They were that bad. So that's the

waste. Moving on to the fraud and abuse. Late last week, Elon Musk's doge gang infiltrated and

ostensibly shut down another real federal agency, the Consumer

Financial Protection Bureau, which protects you, the ordinary consumer from predatory

bankers and credit card companies, installing Project 25 Architect and head of the Office of
