Ben Meiselas plays the clip of a reporter asking Trump how he responds to critics who say he is profiting off the presidency, citing financial disclosures showing close to $2 billion in trades and 21,000 individual stock transactions. Trump's response is to pivot: the stock market is up, everybody's 401k is doing well, and he sarcastically thanks himself — 'Thank you, President Trump.' Meiselas frames this as a classic deflection, noting Trump never addresses the specific volume of personal trading. The segment also includes Trump defending the Qatar jet as a point of national pride, claiming 'the country should be very proud of it' while brushing past questions about its billion-dollar renovation cost paid by taxpayers.
Qatar donated a $400 million jet to Trump, which was then renovated to the tune of over $1 billion by American taxpayers.
Qatar gave Trump a $400 million jet. American taxpayers then spent over $1 billion renovating it. Trump is openly planning to keep it as his personal plane after leaving office — and called it a point of 'national pride.'
Trump's financial disclosures show close to $2 billion made from stock and crypto trades — 21,000 of them across 8 accounts while serving as president, averaging about 80 trades per day. No other president since 1990 came anywhere close to this volume.
Trump's latest financial disclosures show he made close to $2 billion from stock and crypto trades while serving as president.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
