enough people just decide that Trump's God, then you can literally just raid the treasury for you and your buddies.

And since this is almost certainly some of it is going to be going to January 6th defendants who have already been pardoned, it's really a gross message that these people are freedom by it.

Hello and welcome to opening arguments. This is episode 1263. I'm Thomas Thadder's that over there's real attorney, Matt Cameron. How you doing? I only have one question for you, Thomas. Have you or any of your loved ones ever been harmed by government weaponization? Uh, yes. You may be entitled to compensation. Sweet. All right. Awesome. Free money. That's the good news. Yeah.

The bad news is everything else about this compensation. It really sucks. Boy, yeah. We can't even, I guess, skip the pleasantries. We can't even have a conversation. This is so bad. No, I'm going straight to the ad. I'm just going to help everybody with their compensation claims because I don't see any reason at all that I can't sue the Trump administration or claim that I'm going to see the Trump administration.

Yeah.

This fund is not

limited to anything. So let's all our claims. This is unbelievable. I'm sure people have seen the

news. I have been waiting to hear you try to make sense of it. Good luck. I will not.

This level of corruption surely, surely cannot stand. How could anyone

defend this? There's no way. You think there's some line. I know, I know we have no expectations,

but this is still too far, over the line. Well, Todd Blanche got the chance to defend it yesterday.

We'll listen to a little bit of that in front of the Senate, but I will say there's one question that I know is on everybody's mind when they heard about this news. And I'm going to answer that question, which is, is this worse than teapot dome? Because the previous standard for presidential scandal over a century ago, and I'm going to have to address it. I will take that question up, the question that everyone's been asking. Otherwise, we've got to talk about this nutty thing that's happened between Rita O'Connor, the Northern District of Texas federal judge going after Rhode Island and Rhode Island responding. It's one of the nudiest things I've ever seen happen between federal courts. And it really says a lot about where we're at right now now and also where the DOJ is at. It has to do with protecting trans kids and their medical records, which I would not think I would have to say out loud that we can't just be releasing the medical records of minors, but that is what the DOJ is looking for. This sequence of events is one of the craziest things I've ever heard happen in a federal court.

So we'll have to talk about that.

Wow. Yeah. There's a lot of news, and it doesn't any of it seem good, but we got to cover it. No, not really. I mean, the Miffa Preston thing we talked about last week was actually extended by the Supreme Court entirely, through the entirety of the case. So that was expected, but very good news. otherwise I'm going to promise at the end, as I often do when we have bad news shows,

that we're going to have a super fun footnote involving a rap battle between personal injury lawyers. That does sound fun. It's pretty fun. We even actually did some journalism on this one and reached out for comment, so I do have from the parties. I know. Yeah, been a busy journalism day.

We did a journalism.

We, I am a journalist at the end of the day, so here we are. Oh, well, good for you. You can be a journalist, too. We've foyered, you know, we've foiled it for you. We've done some stuff. Yeah, we've had exclusive releases. We've had things that nobody else's.

You know, it's hard because, like, traditional journalism is like, oh, yeah, reach out for comment.

But most of the stuff we cover, it's like, yeah, we know your stupid comment. Oh, yeah. Almost always it's some dumb, anti-woke thing that, like, the news is their comment. And can you get a load of these assholes, you know? And so we haven't done that a lot. There have been a few times I'm like, oh, man, I almost feel like doing the journalist thing and reaching out for comment. But, yeah, for the most part, it's like, yeah, yeah, I know what you're coming. I mean, you remember when, because obviously we're not going to reach out to DOJ for comment, ever. Yeah. Because he said it's always pretty public. But remember when Barry Wise tried to do that, tried to spike that story about the Seacot?

Yeah.

Because she said it's always pretty public. But remember when Barry Wise tried to do that, tried to spike that story about the

Seacot?
