All right, I'm joined today by Waj Ali.

He is tired, overweight, and a middle-aged father of three who drives a Honda Odyssey minivan and shops at Costco.

He is a recovering attorney and playwright, and he even once co-hosted an Al Jazeera America's The Stream.

He also is a former New York Times and CNN contributor.

Currently, he edits the left hook substack

where I was a guest yesterday,

and we like to Maga Bash together, don't we wash?

We enjoyed, we love it. It fills the, the heart, if you will.

It's therapeutic. It's therapy. Okay. The Trump, we always know he's been lying about this

And it's all these tech companies, all the metas and all the NVIDias that are giving them money. So I'm like, that's very interesting. Why would they be giving money? Well, maybe because they want a court favor with this quid pro quo completely compromised president, right? We'll give you stupid money for your ballroom. You give us contracts. You give us military industrial complex contracts. Palantir will build a surveillance state, right?

Nvidia with its chips, open AI, sure.

But then more and more I think about it,

I'm like, hmm, another person had a bunker.

That person was Hitler, right?

So I'm thinking, why would you need

$1.4 billion for a ballroom?

First and foremost, he's desecrated the People's House, the White House.

These reeks are perfectly fine with it. Secondly, $400 million. And now he goes back on his province that
