Good Evening All!
I’m trying something tonight. I won’t know if it makes it better unless you let me know.
Thanks
Dismas
(00:00:01):
Good evening, everyone.
(00:00:03):
It’s a Friday evening.
(00:00:05):
Hope you’re doing well.
(00:00:06):
This is Dismas, and it’s time for some contemporary issues.
(00:00:11):
You know, I think I told you the story about contemporary issues and why I picked it.
(00:00:16):
It was mainly from a teacher in high school.
(00:00:19):
He’s a professor now.
(00:00:21):
But we’re not going to get into that because I just remembered I did tell you about it.
(00:00:24):
And excuse me if I forget sometimes, my age is getting to me, my ADHD.
(00:00:30):
Numerous other things, whatever it is.
(00:00:31):
But tonight, this is really getting to me, and I’m not forgetting about it.
(00:00:37):
As you know,
(00:00:38):
or maybe you don’t know,
(00:00:39):
Trump,
(00:00:40):
our illustrious leader,
(00:00:43):
I say that sarcastically,
(00:00:45):
of course,
(00:00:46):
sued the IRS for $10 billion when there was a leak of his finances.
(00:00:54):
Now,
(00:00:54):
if he had just done what every other president did,
(00:00:56):
which would show his taxes,
(00:00:57):
it wouldn’t have been an issue.
(00:00:58):
But he didn’t.
(00:01:01):
But to top it all off, he filed a lawsuit over two years after the incident happened.
(00:01:09):
The statute of limitations is two years for one thing.
(00:01:13):
And now they’re trying to settle the case.
(00:01:16):
And it was supposed to go in front of a judge May 20th or May 27th.
(00:01:22):
And I find that, like, they should have rushed it because now they’re negotiating.
(00:01:26):
And he’s negotiating with his own
(00:01:29):
Attorney Who Runs The DOJ Which Makes It To Me It’s A Conflict Of Interest But Who
(00:01:37):
Am I To Say I’m Not A Legal Scholar But Here’s The Thing His Attorney Which Was
(00:01:43):
Handling His Criminal Cases Is Now The Department Of Justice Attorney General
(00:01:49):
Acting Attorney General And That’s Who’s Negotiating With Trump
(00:01:55):
And now there’s a thing on the table, I guess, an offer of $1.7 billion.
(00:02:00):
And the idea is he’s going to give this to the January 6th rioters, which really got me going.
(00:02:09):
I don’t understand what this country is doing,
(00:02:13):
and I don’t understand what the politicians are doing.
(00:02:17):
Why aren’t the Democrats stepping up to this stuff?
(00:02:20):
Why isn’t there an ethics
(00:02:23):
Evaluation of what’s going on.
(00:02:25):
How can they just get away with giving him $1.7 billion to avoid the court case?
(00:02:31):
Because if he goes to court, everyone’s saying this judge will throw it out anyways.
(00:02:36):
So they don’t want it thrown out.
(00:02:38):
They want to settle it before because then the judge is out of it.
(00:02:41):
Well, of course they’re going to do it.
(00:02:42):
They should have had an emergency hearing to catch him off guard.
(00:02:47):
But she gave him time to hand in their briefs and instead
(00:02:51):
They’re figuring out a way to get around this whole thing,
(00:02:54):
including the fact that he won’t get audited anymore.
(00:02:57):
Him, his kids, his businesses, he’s vying for that also.
(00:03:05):
I mean, wouldn’t it be great if we could do that?
(00:03:07):
Hey, I don’t want to be audited anymore.
(00:03:09):
You know, whatever.
(00:03:11):
I never want to be audited.
(00:03:12):
I’ve never been, but I don’t want to be.
(00:03:14):
And I’d like to,
(00:03:15):
you know,
(00:03:15):
get $1.7 billion,
(00:03:16):
but I’ll forgive that and just take the audit,
(00:03:19):
the free audits.
(00:03:23):
Excuse me.
(00:03:24):
You know, I hate talking politics, but this thing has really got me boiling.
(00:03:36):
Excuse me.
(00:03:38):
And I don’t see how there’s nothing being done about it.
(00:03:44):
And no one can’t fight this.
(00:03:49):
Because once it happens, it happens.
(00:03:51):
I don’t know if he can be sued after that to get the money back.
(00:03:54):
I don’t know what happens.
(00:03:56):
But I do know or I feel there’s an ethics issue here,
(00:04:00):
and I don’t understand why the Bar Association isn’t even jumping into this.
(00:04:05):
Why don’t they just get Todd Blanch and take his license away so that he can’t conduct business?
(00:04:16):
I don’t understand how, I mean, I’ve dealt with the law before for certain reasons.
(00:04:21):
And my lawyer and I have gone back and forth.
(00:04:25):
And there’s been times where other lawyers that were involved in cases had to
(00:04:29):
recuse themselves because of something else.
(00:04:33):
I even had a time when the judge had to recuse herself on my hearing.
(00:04:39):
So, and it was all about ethics.
(00:04:43):
And this judge wanted me really bad.
(00:04:46):
But the thing was,
(00:04:48):
she couldn’t do anything because there was an ethical violation and she didn’t want
(00:04:52):
to cross that line.
(00:04:54):
What happened to morality in this country?
(00:04:58):
What happened to the sense of fairness and fair play?
(00:05:01):
And you don’t step over the line.
(00:05:04):
Everyone in this administration, Republicans, are stepping over the line with no
(00:05:11):
Fear of Retribution No Fear of Governing No Fear of Anything They Just Do What They
(00:05:17):
Frickin Want And Get Away With It And As I Know We Can Call Senators We Can Call
(00:05:24):
Representatives We Can Do All This Phone Calling But It Doesn’T Do Any Good If
(00:05:28):
Those People Are Not Gonna Stand Up Call The Bar Association They Should Have
(00:05:33):
Stopped This Yesterday Not After We Make A Thousand Phone Calls And Even Then They
(00:05:38):
Probably Won’T Do Anything
(00:05:40):
And then the fact is that Trump picked the team that’s going to manage the money.
(00:05:45):
He has control of the people.
(00:05:46):
I forgot if it’s five or six people that are going to determine how the money gets
(00:05:50):
spent or put out.
(00:05:52):
But he controls that group explicitly.
(00:05:55):
He has full control.
(00:05:56):
He can get rid of them, get new people, do whatever he wants.
(00:06:00):
How are we letting this happen?
(00:06:04):
How are we letting him paint the reflective pool between
(00:06:07):
The Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial Blue And just why not leave it alone?
(00:06:13):
Leave it the way it’s been for centuries Everything is What’s going to happen is If
(00:06:21):
he gets voted out of office Whoever the next president is And if it’s a Democrat,
(00:06:27):
hopefully It has to change all this And it’s going to cost us more money to change
(00:06:33):
it back
(00:06:34):
We’ll never get the East Wing back.
(00:06:36):
It’s gonna be this stupid ballroom that we’re paying for.
(00:06:40):
And it keeps going and going and going.
(00:06:44):
When is it gonna stop?
(00:06:45):
When are we gonna make an effort, concerted effort as Americans to stop this?
(00:06:51):
And when are our politicians gonna do the right thing and step up to the plate and
(00:06:56):
argue this stuff?
(00:06:57):
Go on TV, go do whatever you have to do.
(00:07:00):
Show with the corruption going on.
(00:07:04):
Stop letting it happen.
(00:07:07):
Hey, that’s it for today, folks.
(00:07:08):
I’m sorry.
(00:07:09):
This evening, I’m wicked up now.
(00:07:10):
I’ll never get to sleep.
(00:07:11):
But I wanted to bring this up because it was bugging me.
(00:07:15):
You guys have a great weekend.
(00:07:16):
I’ll probably be back next week unless I get bugged again and hit you up over the weekend.
(00:07:22):
But other than that, have a nice evening.
(00:07:23):
Talk to you soon.
