Speaker 1:
On to more, yet more Trump legal issues, because you know, if getting convicted on 34 felony counts in New York wasn't enough, he was also potentially tampering with witnesses, or at the very least, he was pampering witnesses. I have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from this campaign, service packages, new jobs and shares and cash from his media company, truth Social, and one campaign aide had his average monthly pay double from twenty six grand to fifty three thousand five hundred dollars and another yeah, I know it's quite a pay bump Anyone getting 100 percent raise.
Speaker 1:
You got to look at that sideways, especially when you're-.
Speaker 2:
I'm just trying to get 50 cents Like. My evaluation is this month.
Speaker 1:
All right, quick side tangent, I'll tell you about the time I was working at McDonald's way back in the day. I won't tell you what year it was, but minimum wage was like $5.15. So I was out here busting my ass at the Mickey D's. It was a super busy one too, because it was like in a hospital and it would be slammed. So it would open, I think, at 5.30. And it would just be slammed from like 6 to almost 11. You get a little bit of like a 30 minute low from you know like 10, 45 to 11 15, and then it'd be slammed again for lunch from like 11, 30 to 3, and it'd just be non-stop. And I was making a gazillion dollars there my first couple of weeks and I was like man, I'm busting my ass. I'm making the most money on the register. And then you know, when it slows down, I'm like holding down the front, I'm like mopping, sweeping uh, you know, making fries, restocking, cleaning the lobby, I'm basically running. It's like I'm running this mcdonald's dog like the manager ain't even got to come outside, he can just chill back in the office all day. I was like and, but when I would get my paycheck I'd be like, damn, I busted my ass. I worked all week. My check is like 178 dollars. It's like there's nothing I can do, there's no amount of work I can do to get to a 200 check and I'm like this is insane.
Speaker 1:
So me and dude had to talk and then me and my other co-worker, who was you know me and him was basically holding down a restaurant and like had six registers, and me and my other co-worker, who was you know me and him was basically holding down a restaurant and like had six registers and me and him were like getting all the money and just holding down the fort. So we talked to the dude and we was like we're complaining. We was like I don't know how long, much longer, we're gonna work here and the dude took us in the back in the storeroom. He was like hey, look, normally, you know you've been here a few weeks. You don't usually get a raise until you've been here at least six months. But I tell you what I really like you guys, you work hard. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you both a 50 cent an hour raise. So we was like, yeah, we're making 565 an hour. Bitch, how about that? How about them apples. And then we went out there and busted our asses some more. You know, because we're naive, we're like, yeah, we got a raise. And dude is probably like laughing yeah, f*ck your little, you know, dollar an hour between can't even get a f*cking happy meal with that.
Speaker 1:
Um, uh, also, side note, like uh, after I left, I I'd heard that maybe six or seven months after that, somewhere within the realm of I think that was the summer, somewhere in the spring of the next year, after I left, I heard that the dude was like he went to the owner and he was like hey, man, since I've been here, I cleaned up this or this. You know, I cleaned up this restaurant. You know, you you're losing a lot of this money, that you were on this, this and this and I made you this x amount of dollars here, here, here, and it's something like you know 60, 70 thousand dollars more than when he you know the previous manager he was like hey, man, can you break me off a little raise? And the owner was like no. He was like yeah, can I get a bonus? The owner was like no, because the owner was cheap. And then so the dude um, you know, one day when the safe was open, apparently he grabbed, like you know, he grabbed, like I don't know, 10, 15 000 dollars and just left the state and never, it never came back. So he got his little bonus, yeah, right. And then I was like, well damn, he sounded like you know, me and my homeboy, when we were making 5, 15 an hour. It was like we did all this work. You can't even hook us up with a little extra. But yeah, that was funny.
Speaker 1:
Um, and now the funniest part about this I know this is a long side tangent, I'm sorry, but the funniest part of it um is like, first of all, he was like former military, um, he was like this burly black dude kind of, with a bald head, um, but the best part of it is he looked like and this was at mcdonald's, but he looked like john amos from mcdowell's. So it was kind of like you know how many, you know how like john had a little bald head on the top of the hair on the side. This dude just shaved his head, so he looked like a totally bald john amos, except instead of mcdowell's it was actually mcdonald's. Like we, we actually got the golden arches over here. It was so hilarious.
Speaker 1:
I don't know why I decided to tell you that story. That was so long. But um no, back to just the point. There is a 50% or no rather 100% raise is a lot. That was the gist of that. But another employee got a $2 million severance package that barred him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. This sounds like some Allen Weisselberg level sh*t, where Weisselberg got $2 million.
Speaker 1:
And that motherf*cker didn't go to records once he went twice and and the judge in the the um and he, and he's like a thousand years old, like the judge in the civil fraud case hit him with a million dollar fine to know some of that money that trump was supposed to pay him. So he really got to get that money. Anyway, one of the campaign's top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff. This is a tactic commonly used by Trump the Trump campaign and the Trump administration, for that matter, and this person's daughter is now the fourth highest paid employee at the campaign. Yes, that's uh extraordinarily convenient. These pay increases and other benefits often came at delicate moments, to say the least, in the legal proceedings against trump, and one aide who was given a plumb position on the board of trump's uh truth social platform, for example, got the seat. Sorry, you don't have no office, though. Yeah, it's probably one of them no-show jobs where you just get a paycheck. You don't even have to come in, but yeah he's sitting on the floor but he get made.
Speaker 1:
Well, this person got a job on the board at true social after being subpoenaed but before having to testify. And you know prosecutors typically well just lawyers in general typically talk about how significant changes to a staffer's work situation like getting a bonus or a raise or being fired or being promoted can be evidence of a crime if they come outside of the normal course of business and to prove witness tampering, prosecutors would need to show that perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony and I can only assume I mean, I hope for God's sakes that the Department of Justice is investigating that, because the last thing you can have like forget what you like, say what you want to about Trump and Republicans coming out here using the public to bash the justice system, the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, all that that's one issue. But like having them actually interfere with the Department of Justice's work or you know, any law enforcement agency for that matter by bribing witnesses with like doubling their pay and getting them plus jobs like you can't have that, Because if that's the case, if you allow that, then likely in all likelihood no wealthy bad actor or potential criminal will ever be prosecuted because they can just bribe all the witnesses and pay off all the people who could potentially cooperate and and make sure that they're convicted, or even indicted for that matter. You just can't have this sh*t again. This is just.
Speaker 1:
This is the same thing with the obstruction in the florida case. Like you, I guess one thing for trump to have had the documents long after he was supposed to and long after the FBI requested them back Again. If he had just complied, he likely wouldn't have been indicted. They would have given him a pass. But when you start lying to your lawyers and moving sh*t around and trying to delete security footage and trying to flood the pool into the server room, To flood the pool into the the um the server room where the server to flood the server.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, like when you're doing that kind of sh*t, like that is the point in which you absolutely had to be held accountable. Um, because any attempt to like evade law enforcement in that manner. Like you, you can't allow criminals to be rewarded for trying to obstruct justice. It's just yeah, yeah, it's just bananas, man. I and again like trump's, trump's methodology for digging himself out of a hole is continue to dig deeper. It's just hilarious. Like he's on trial, he just got convicted and then part of, like, his response to being on trial and being convicted and that motherf*cker blew off his.
Speaker 2:
What is the? The? Uh, what do you call it? The?
Speaker 1:
uh, what is probation hearing?
Speaker 2:
yes yeah, uh, presumably uh, because he would have to be drug tested and we all know, with, with trump proposing the idea that right now that's a motherf*cker at the head shop like let me get that fake penis right there and that f*cking fake yeah, with trump proposing the idea that, like you know, you can't attend the presidential debate, uh, without having to pass a drug test first.
Speaker 1:
That is pure projection and that's trump confessing to the fact that he can't pass a drug test, but yeah like yeah the fact that dude deals with being in like the sites of a criminal investigation by committing more crimes are just f*cking insane.
Speaker 2:
That f*cking video that Ron Filipowski had posted of Junior and Kimberly Guilfoyle and their friends like driving he's like, I hear when they were in El Salvador I was like there ain't a clean UA between the lot of them, there ain't a clean UA between the f*cking five of those people in that car period.
Speaker 1:
And then he was there for the columbian bam bam well, and then he posted that video of um speaker, mike johnson, and flanked by a couple of republican cronies, and they're all like rubbing their faces and their noses and sh*t, I'm like damn everybody, just like you know they hit up Don Jr Stash or something.
Speaker 2:
I live on the border bitch, I can spot that sh*t, all right well, they look like some fiends dog.
Speaker 1:
You gotta go check that video for real.
Speaker 2:
And then in that picture, when they was like what was like 10 of them, whatever, and it was like junior kimberly guilfoyle this and I f*cking you know, zoom in on junior and kimberly and his mouth is crooked as f*ck because even his mouth hates him and that's funny but I was like yeah, yeah, okay yeah, um, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:
I don't know man. Just the fact that Trump continues to crime even in the midst of being convicted for crimes, it's almost impossible to believe. But the man is incorrigible. Where, like a normal person would be like damn, I'm busted, I guess I'll just like I I'll, I'll stay low, I won't be out here doing no more sh*t until I'm fading to the background.
Speaker 2:
I'm gonna fade in the background, I'm gonna lay low.
Speaker 1:
I'm gonna yeah, but this dude is like no, I gotta do more crimes, like I'm busted.
Speaker 2:
Let me, let me try and cry my way out crimes to cover up my mo crime yeah, it's just, it's insane.
Speaker 1:
I don't understand, like I just, this decision making process here where you're you're convicted. A number of your lawyers are indicted in heading to trial in numerous states.
Speaker 1:
All of his lawyers are indicted like literally every f*cking person that has been in his inner circle is a goddamn felon um, yeah, we don't even have to like go outside of the the lawyers, because you know obviously um roger stone and paul manafort, they've all. But just just as lawyers you've got michael cohen, rudy giuliani, christina bob, sydney powell, jenna ellis, kenneth cheese, bro john easman, jeffrey clark, giuliani, christina Bob, sidney Powell, jenna Ellis, kenneth Cheese, bro Johnny's man, jeffrey Clark, james Troop is the race myth, this guy from Georgia, and also Robert Chile, this other lawyer from Georgia. Like that. That's just Trump's lawyers who've been indicted.
Speaker 2:
That's a f*cking insane legal f*cking people Like people pass the bar and are actual goddamn attorneys.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and then you've got Alina Haba she's been sanctioned. Evan Corcoran he got crime fraud accepted off the case.
Speaker 2:
Phony Soprano I mean Joey Takapina, he was a dude on TV talking sh*t about Trump's legal defense, the other day, and you know what's so crazy, which I didn't know, but I found out that, f*cking Blanche, he was a f*cking prosecutor. Oh, yeah, he's a former prosecutor yeah, for fraud, criminal investigations and the same type of sh*t that Trump is on trial for. And I'm like how far will you go to base yourself?
Speaker 1:
Well, typically, you know, like if you think about what a defense lawyer is, I mean largely you have a bunch of former prosecutors who are like all right, I did my public service, let me go out here and make some money. And they become defense lawyers because you know, being a defense, lawyer pays better Make some money.
Speaker 2:
That was a joke.
Speaker 1:
Well, no, I mean, I'm just. You know that was irony. But if you look, if you're working for the government, you're going to make a lot less than you could in private practice, in private practice. But that motherf*cker should already have known he wouldn't get paid well, look, the other thing about todd blanch is you you look at like him taking trump on as a client. Likely wasn't just about a paycheck but likely about wanting a prime position to say, um, the attorney, usa for the well.
Speaker 1:
I hope he has an IRA no, what I'm saying is he probably won a position running the Southern District of New York in the Trump administration. Right, because you got to think about a lot of these people working for Trump at this point. See it as an opportunity to get a high ranking position yeah, they want to be on the cabinet yes, exactly, they're like f*cking mike lee, god damn he
Speaker 1:
has been melting the f*ck down well, he's not the only one, oh yeah. Well, just yeah. And I'm just like. There are numerous examples where you'd be like, damn, why are you like selling yourself out for this dude? You're like, oh yeah, they want a position in the administration. Just like nikki haley out of nowhere, saying she was going to vote for Trump a couple weeks ago when it was right before he was going to get convicted. That was f*cking stupid. Like, save your leverage. But you know she wants a job as vice president and you know, crossing her fingers, hoping Trump dies while he's in office so she can be the president. You can be the president. But yeah, just like people willing to sell themselves in exchange for proximity to power and in selfishly hoping that it benefits them, that's.
Speaker 1:
That is generally the the idea there, but I guess we'll get to our sh*thole of the week award and then I'll let you take it away with your closing thoughts. I nominated Dean Phillips for a number of reasons, largely because he sucks, but so I think it was Sunday man. What did I do? Oh yeah, so Sunday on the Twitter, he posted about there was a man who was accused of killing someone in a burglary and he posted in response to that is it harmless to suggest that serial felons aren't deserving of freedom to endanger our community and kill cops, that serial felons aren't deserving of freedom to endanger our community and kill cops? Why in the world are such people removed from society until they're rehabilitated and or no longer a threat? That was sunday, right? Well, on friday, after trump's conviction, he also posted on on the twitter, formerly known as twitter, rather uh it's I guess it's now triple x, because you know Elon's decided that he's going to allow p*rn on on the Web site in full form anyway.
Speaker 1:
So Phillips posted on Friday after Trump's conviction that Trump is a serial liar, cheater and philanderer, a six time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection and a convicted villain who thrives on portraying himself as a victim, and a convicted villain who thrives on portraying himself as a victim. And then, in the very next sentence, he's like governor kathy hokal should pardon him for the good of the country. Bruh, like what? So in this one instance where this black man's convicted of a crime, they should never get out of jail on, you know, unless they've been clearly habilitated. And in the second sentence, you point out well, in the like three days earlier, you point out how Trump is. He's a career criminal at this point and he's never going to change, but he should get a pardon. What the f*ck that's? That's my nominee for the sh*thole of the week award. Ty. If you can do better than that, feel free.
Speaker 2:
OK, nominee for the sh*thole of the week award, ty. If you can do better than that, feel free. Um, okay, I am contradicting you and giving ken paxton the sh*thole of the week award. He is a goddamn ghoul. What he is doing right now in Texas is f*cking insane, and the fact that he has been under federal indictment for eight goddamn years and still allowed to terrorize the citizens of this state is f*cking unconscionable to me. Dean Phillips, he's he's a piss ant, but Kid Paxton has power and he has it in this state.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but you gotta what he do specifically this week. So besides In this state, yeah but you got to.
Speaker 2:
What did he do specifically this week?
Speaker 1:
So, besides, besides, accidentally implicate Trump in his campaign.
Speaker 2:
So him Filing Legislation To To fail female students at Texas colleges and universities who have ever had an abortion? What the actual f*ck.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's pretty tough. It's hard to beat that one.
Speaker 2:
What the actual f*ck? And to deny teaching jobs to any woman that has had reproductive healthcare? I can't, I motherf*cking, can't. No, this motherf*cker, he's getting the sh*thole of the week. I'm sorry, I'm sorry D I'm overruling you. Ken Paxton is getting he's getting the sh*thole of the week. Alright, ken Paxtonson is getting.
Speaker 1:
He's getting the sh*thole. Alright, ken Paxson, you were here by award of the sh*thole of the week award. Yeah, you just it's earned. He's gonna be on the sh*thole of the year award, rather the list for the sh*thole of the year well, if we're not programmed by December, if we don't have a no, biden is gonna be in office until middle of January at the very least. So don't you worry, we'll have plenty of time to do our sh*thole of the year war before we flee the country. You got any closing?
Speaker 2:
thoughts.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, we don't worry. You're going to get this podcast at least until january 2025, no matter what happens. Kids, we're all going to, we're, we're all going to uh jail and then you know, just in case trump wins, the name of the podcast is pardon the insurrection. We're just gonna flip it and pretend like we were pro-partner this whole f*cking time no, it's gonna be pardon the pogrom no, no, it's gonna be, we're gonna be pardoning.
Speaker 1:
We're gonna be like, yeah, we can't wait, pardon the pog room. No, no, it's going to be. Pardon, we're going to be pardoning. We're going to be like, yeah, we can't wait, pardon the insurrectionist Trump. Yeah, woo, but yes. Closing thoughts after you.
Speaker 2:
Welcome to our new podcast. Pardon the pog room.
Speaker 1:
I don't like that title, it's just it doesn't have.
Speaker 2:
It is catchy, though A little bit, though PTP sounds like some kind of drug. Pti. Pardon the pogram.
Speaker 1:
PTI, that's just more famous. It's kind of a playoff of something that's already in existence. I kind of like that a little better. But yes, no, after you it sounds like PCP.
Speaker 2:
Now again.
Speaker 1:
PTI sounds like some kind of sexually transmitted disease also, but I'll take that over.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that actually is true.
Speaker 1:
It does sound like that At least you can clear that up with the right pills Like PCP. There is no remedy if you're speaking that. Oh okay, take us away, give us something for your closing thoughts and then I'll wrap us up and get us out of here.
Speaker 2:
Pay the f*ck attention. That's it. That's all I can f*cking say is pay the f*ck attention. This sh*t is real right now. Like we don't have any leeway to be on the fence, border or whatever of what is going on or to dismiss the rhetoric that is being spouted by the republicans, by trump, the heritage foundation we need to f*cking open our eyes and be aware at this point, like it's, it's not. You know. Like when people say and they slide into my mentions and say things like I was a Republican my whole f*cking adult life, you know, until I registered independent, I'm not a registered Democrat, I'm a registered independent.
Speaker 2:
I have so much fear for my f*cking kings and the job that I have now. Like I can't divulge anything but the stories that I hear on a daily basis. Like sometimes I have to f*cking clock out and I break down and f*cking cry of the experiences of the people that call me and what they're going through at that job, and all I can think about is my f*cking kids and I'm like, is this what I want for my f*cking children? Like, is this the experience that I want for them to have? And it is disheartening on so many f*cking levels.
Speaker 2:
It's how awful so many people are, and when I get someone who says thank you for listening to me, it breaks me down in so many ways and I have to f*cking take a f*cking personal break Because they feel seen, they feel heard, and these companies, they are big companies, big companies. But when I have them come and they just want to be listened to, and you know, when you have a grown ass, f*cking man of like 50 years old, break down and f*cking cry because all he wants to do is just go to work, be respected, take care of his family, and I have to listen to what he has been subjected to, that sh*t is f*cking hard, it is f*cking hard, it is goddamn hard yeah.
Speaker 1:
America is cooked. I'll try and cheer you up a little bit, so if it makes you feel any better. So, president Biden's, on one of the most historic runs of all time in terms of, like you know what a presidential administration can be doing in the middle of an election year, I think the department of justice just raided some corporate landlord uh the uh corporate landlord offices in some like nationwide price fixing scheme, if you wonder why your rental is so high, like why rents have gone up in such a staggering amount over the past four years. The Department of Justice is trying to solve that problem because it appears to be. Of course, bad actors hear in the last few months that they're finally going to lower their prices, and by lower their prices they mean stop price gouging, because you know corporate profits are at a record high, despite what supposedly was record inflation. Actually was the price gouging driving inflation. So they're finally going to lower their prices. That's a huge w. Gas prices are going to be going down because opec was also price gouging and fixing oil prices. Whatever came of the meeting between the Biden administration and OPEC apparently scared them sh*tless because the price of oil is coming down. I mean obviously Biden's plan to strategically release the oil reserves at the peak value of oil and potentially buy them back and refill them once prices drop Appears to have been a successful venture. Also, pdd is likely going to flee the country, so that's just a big W for Biden.
Speaker 1:
Kendrick Lamar is on top of the rap game and Drake took a huge L. Sorry, canada, that's a win. No, I'm kidding, but in all seriousness, like you know, trump's facing Well. Trump finally got his felony conviction, successfully outmaneuvered Benjamin Netanyahu and getting the entirety of the Israeli population to support the deal that he's been working on negotiating here for a potential long-term ceasefire in Gaza, if not a permanent ceasefire. The dude is running around out here beating all the side quests with the cheat codes on at the moment, and everything is coming together at the perfect time for his campaign to take off and propel him to victory in November.
Speaker 1:
And all you guys got to do is go out here and share the good news, share the factual information, share this podcast, if you can, with the people that you know, and if you show up to vote and you bring your community with you in November, he's likely going to win re-election and we'll get one of the greatest presidents, in our lifetime, another four years to continue this epic run of incredible legislation mean, look, the economy's booming. Um, you know the, the, the, the vaunted inflationary disaster that everyone was predicting never came. Inflation's going down uh, just like our, but, yes, but.
Speaker 2:
But yes, but Aldi, target Walgreens has reducing their prices to reduce the yeah, that was like.
Speaker 1:
the customers is mad. We got to fix that problem.
Speaker 2:
Oh well, it's almost like oh, maybe it wasn't f*cking inflation but re-inflation, all the f*cking time.
Speaker 1:
Right, you know, manufacturing is back. Like Trump's been talking about bringing manufacturing back since 2016. Who actually did it? President Biden, like our economy is outpacing China for the first time in decades here, like the dude is putting together an unprecedented run and he's done it largely without the you know a majority in Congress 50 senators in the first two years of his term, with the slight House majority, and then you know, he doesn't even have the house majority. Uh, these this past year and a half, and he's managing to pull this off.
Speaker 1:
Imagine what he could do if he gave him, you know, the house and the senate back. And and I'm assuming that, if he does win, uh, you know, alito, thomas, the dudes we know for sure are out here just engaged in all kinds of corruption. They're likely going to retire because they're not going to wait out another four years until another Republican president. So it's in all likelihood a win, for Biden could largely rid us of this disastrous Supreme Court. And again, to make that happen, all you got to do is go tell people the truth and the facts and we can get a second Biden administration. And that concludes this episode of Paro, the Insurrection.
