Episode description

You thought you were having a bad day? Buckle up, because Donald Trump's legal woes are about to make your problems seem like a walk in the park. From New York courthouses to the towering edifices of Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, we're pulling back the curtain on the unfolding financial catastrophe that has the former President in its crosshairs. We're chatting about the liquidation of Trump's assets, the staggering potential losses and the dubious financial tactics that led him here. Oh, and did we mention that this whole shindig is in the hands of a judge who has little time for Trump's antics? Let's just say, it's not looking pretty.

But like any great saga, there's more. We're prying open the Pandora's box of potential outcomes. Will Trump find himself without a penny to his name or can he claw his way back from the brink of financial ruin? And what about the lenders and creditors who are circling like sharks, ready to claim their pound of flesh from the liquidation proceeds? Could a spontaneous trip to Russia be on the cards? We're probing into all these possibilities and throwing in our regular dose of irreverent humor with the Shithole  of the Week Award.

Finally, we're stepping away from the Trump tornado to shine a spotlight on North Carolina's disturbing political corruption. We're talking secret police, dramatic political shifts, and the growing frustration of the state's residents. We're also celebrating some badass women—real-life heroes who are wielding their influence to drive change within their communities. So, grab your headphones and get ready for a roller-coaster ride through the landscape of American politics, finance, and activism. This is one episode you won't want to miss.

Speaker 1

All right , back on topic . So , yeah , the civil case . Trump got gagged today .

He's also potentially I don't have any time , we haven't talked about this trial at all , have we , because we've been so busy with other shit when we get together so one of the potential outcomes for this trial given that the judge has ordered the shattering of all of Trump's businesses in New York and the fact that he might no longer be able to ever do

business in New York , all of the properties owned by his New York entities are going to get liquidated . Now he'll have the opportunity to maybe purchase some of those assets back if he has the cash Key word there if he has the cash .

Speaker 2

There you go .

Speaker 1

Ty , you didn't hear Dan word that I was saying was you ?

Speaker 3

I did not , it's okay .

Speaker 1

I know you was busy being a mom . That's totally fine .

Speaker 3

That's what ?

Speaker 1

no , you would be a mom . That's far more important than this podcast . I'm glad you have your priorities in order , but no so .

One potential outcome in this trial in New York is that Trump's , because the judge has ordered Trump's businesses to be shuttered and he's going to lose his licenses and it might be possible that he'll no longer be able to do business in New York .

All of his assets are going to be liquidated and all of the assets owned by any New York entities will be liquidated , and that includes his apartment , a Trump Tower , his home , current home in Mar-a-Lago and something else that's fairly interesting that not many people have talked about , but one of his companies also owns the rights to his name , image and likeness

.

Speaker 3

I love that for him . So they're oh .

Speaker 1

Someone's going to have the opportunity to purchase his name , image and likeness .

Speaker 3

I love that for him . I love that for him .

Speaker 1

Yeah well , and if it's worth as much as he says it is , he's not going to be able to afford to buy it back .

Speaker 2

But it's not .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's so funny , but yeah .

Speaker 3

But that he literally like challenged the evaluation of his property to make it less Like . He's literally admitted to the fucking fraud that he's on trial for .

Speaker 1

Yeah , ty , that's why they say you have the right to remain silent in anything that you say can be used against you in a court of law , even though it's a simple case .

But yeah , so he's on record like , in some forms , super overvaluing his properties to get favorable business loans and insurance policies and whatnot , and then turning around and undervaluing them by a massive amount , you know , to pay less in taxes .

And then this motherfucker got the nerve to come out here on day one and say you know everything I said my companies were worth ?

That's exactly what they were worth , if not more , and then got the nerve to turn them fuck around and immediately confessed to the fact that he was like yeah , you know , sometimes you got to like fudge the numbers so you can pay less in tax . What a just total dude is crazy .

What he said in his deposition was studies will bail me out , they'll pay whatever yeah man and the judge was not happy with that Because , again , you know his lawyer tried to make that argument and the judge is like so what you're saying is the Saudis are willing to basically put money in your pocket for political influence .

Yeah , judge wouldn't have been happy with that . Carol , I appreciate you fluffing out your hair . You're looking absolutely . I know she let you look gorgeous .

Speaker 2

You're looking absolutely beautiful for an audio platform where no one can see your prison or you guys could see me and other people saw me today , even with the prison orange .

Speaker 1

And then Trump also made a point to complain about the fact that in Goren himself will be overseeing the trial in a bench hearing and Trump won't be getting a jury in this case . That was funny .

Speaker 2

I liked that because the judge is funny and was like you didn't ask for it , so I see what happened ? What had happened was you did not ask for one .

Speaker 1

Yeah , so in this case it was on Trump's lawyers to actually .

Speaker 2

So first the prosecution says moves to waive the jury trial and then the defense has to respond with it . I think it was 14 days , yeah , two . And they did , and Alina Habba didn't do that .

Speaker 1

No .

Speaker 2

So there's no jury because and the judge was like you didn't ask for that , and it's funny because he's like an idiot , not the judge , he's . I don't know about him Well in this case it's a little yes , you know that it was Alina Habaswald .

Speaker 1

So I think I've said this a number of times Trump's lawyers are so bad that , like when he was uncharged , I'm like we know he committed all these crimes . If you just charge him for something like if you literally just charge him for anything , his lawyers are so stupid that they'll get him like 25 to life on a traffic ticket .

So now we have a case where the judge overseeing Trump's trial has already ruled that , like , he's liable for the fucking criminal activity . And now , because his lawyers were too stupid to file , fill out the paperwork requesting a trial by jury , now the trial is going to be overseen by the dude . Who's like ? Dude , you been fucking up .

We're about to take all your shit . So , ace , job there . Alina Habas is going to cost him his entire fortune . However , little is worth .

Speaker 3

I mean , that bitch has already been fucking fined like what ? A million dollars for frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton ? Yeah .

Speaker 1

Yeah , she's not doing a great job .

Speaker 2

She ? Do you think she's making more money grifting like grievance , grifting based on it ?

Speaker 3

does not making any motherfucking money because he does not pay his lawyers .

Speaker 2

Well , she hasn't got a good grip . She goes on Fox News no , not even Fox News like oh and news .

Speaker 1

Max . He is doing a very profitable newsmax .

Speaker 2

She's like wow and nothing fucking else but true , this is what really happened , and I'm a lawyer and she just lies and then like , she's like , but it's so sad because my client doesn't pay me , so donate money to .

Speaker 3

That's why I'm not , and Whatever . No , yeah , that's a dumbest fucking cunt that .

Speaker 1

Now you say , hey , we don't use that word around here , unless we're talking about serving it .

Speaker 3

We do .

Speaker 1

We use that word If you're not serving cut , then we don't use that word . Or if you're not eating it , eating or serving it , we don't use those words . No , in defense of Alina Habba , she's never caused that parking garage company that she used to represent billions of dollars .

Speaker 3

Yes , clearly Trump is getting every dollar of representation that he's paid for in this , I guess another thing to talk about , obviously , I mean , I like old men , but that motherfucker is disgusting Like I can't even imagine , like how she Manages to , because I know that she's sleeping together .

Speaker 1

But sleeping is probably overstating it .

Speaker 3

OK , yeah , you're right , but she's probably Lauren . Lauren , You're a sidewinder of whatever .

Speaker 1

Oh you know what Like . She's probably just like rubbing it or something like like at Beetlejuice and you know we're still talking about Melani .

Speaker 3

Is Melani even a . No , we don't .

Speaker 1

Melania even a lot . No , yeah , look Alina .

Speaker 2

OK yeah , young , younger Melania , melania , that's fucked up what Melania ?

Speaker 1

It appears as though Trump had her body double at court today , because there was yeah .

Speaker 3

Somebody said like is that , oh the ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , the clone .

Speaker 3

Melani .

Speaker 1

Yeah , melania , it did not . Yeah , it had to have been like there's always someone who looks like Melania around who's not Melania ?

Speaker 3

Yeah , where is Melania Like I heard they negotiated the they're preenup agreement .

Speaker 1

Yeah , they did so , but she is like Carmen San Diego , we like where in the world is this bitch ? Where is she ? I see her in forever , have you ?

Speaker 3

Hasn't been by her mother fucking husband , like she hasn't been like , oh , showing the court showing .

Speaker 1

I mean , yeah , imagine if Biden was dealing with some crazy shit like this and then Jill was nowhere to be fine found . It would be like media hysteria surrounding that . But I mean , I just whatever .

I don't understand who makes the rules about what is and isn't covered when it like pertains to Trump that they cover the stupidest shit and ignore , like , the most important and insane aspects of the things he says and does . But with OK , whatever , I don't know Anyway .

So obviously one of the issues Trump is probably facing is is that he took out all these loans on these properties , but the loans were probably for more money than the shit was actually worth . So dude is probably underwater by hundreds of millions of dollars , right ?

So when they liquidate all this shit and they pay off his loans and then he has to pay that two hundred and fifty million minimum , fine in New York , like will he have any money left ?

I don't know , the fuck doesn't have money now , he will know Well no , I'm not saying he has money , but what I'm saying is , when they liquidate anything , the total proceeds from that .

Will that even be enough to pay off the loans and the fine before he even gets a penny like oh no , yeah , that's what I'm saying that might sell all his shit and then he not have a dollar .

Speaker 2

You know there's like a long list of debtors waiting , right ? Yes , yes . Not debtors .

Speaker 1

The other one yeah , lenders , finance is hard . Lenders debtors the total opposites . Yeah .

Speaker 2

So that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 1

Well , that's what I'm saying with , like Deutsche Bank and like these other companies , these other financial institutions , where he took all these massive loans out while he was in office and once he left the White House , like once , he has to pay that shit back after they sold off all his shit .

Like is he , he's going to be the last person to be paid from the liquidation of his assets that are controlled by the New York entities ? Well , he even get a dollar , is what I'm asking .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

So he's going to be homeless is what you're saying . I just want that . Well , look , you know , that's what we're trying to do with this podcast . We're trying to tell people about all this crazy shit . So they're like , oh , that is fucking crazy , I'm voting for the other guy and then he'll go away to prison .

Speaker 2

And then Trump is going to have to cross over the border into Mexico and hope that they will Because you just can't afford to live here .

Speaker 1

Now he's going to defect to Russia and then Putin's going to go make him fight in Ukraine .

Speaker 2

Yeah probably . I really I believe that I could believe that , that , that that would be fucking poetic , just or he immediately over places his hand and tries to somehow overtake Putin and then , like is immediately killed .

Speaker 1

Well , I mean , someone else tried that in Russia just a couple of months ago and they didn't really die . It took a couple of months .

Speaker 3

But oh my God , I was just reading was like I don't know one or two weeks ago that a fucking plane with Wagner people like Fucking Went down .

Speaker 1

Another one .

Speaker 3

Yeah , but because it wasn't like anybody that people knew like Progosian , so it wasn't . I guess it didn't get you know a lot of new yeah .

Speaker 1

But it wasn't . It wasn't like people from his immediate , immediate circle .

Speaker 3

Yeah , so you know not somebody that people knew , so it did make like national news .

Speaker 1

But yeah , well , who knows , like maybe it was his fucking rat holes where he had his money buried and they got taken out to . You never know , but you know , since you brought that up , it is very interesting that his son said to take over providing a group here in the in the coming weeks . Progosian son about the problem .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I know that .

Speaker 1

Yes , I'm crazy shit . Maybe we'll get to talk the chance to talk about that on the next episode , but yeah anyway as he , as he kissed the ring .

Speaker 2

That's me . What's the deal here ? Or is he going to fall out a window onto put some polonium ? Well man .

Speaker 1

Yeah , he's going to fall out of a window and land in some polonium tea . Yeah , I'm absolutely sure he's going to bear the need of Pudin . Or else , like you said , he'll be spending the rest of eternity with his father soon . All right , so either of you have any nominations for the SHIT HOLD OF THE WEEK AWARD ?

Speaker 2

I do not I .

Speaker 1

You can't even like think of like one , I mean haven't we done ?

Speaker 2

all of the guys we've talked about today , like many times , they are old .

Speaker 1

There's other options . There's plenty of fun .

Speaker 2

Have we done ? Matt Gaetz recently .

Speaker 1

Well , we haven't . I don't think we can do Matt Gaetz .

Speaker 2

We're too old .

Speaker 1

Yes , we're old enough to drive , so he is the fucking worst . Go do that . We could do that guy from the bar or the impeachment hearing last week where he couldn't say oligarch , he kept calling it ugly oligarch . How about we put ?

Speaker 2

him up there with . You know there's an option .

Speaker 3

No , I was going or no , jam fucking Jordan .

Speaker 1

You know what ? I'm kind of happy with Republicans right now . They're busy stabbing each other in the back and just like putting on a show for the entirety of America to laugh at . I was going to go with Sarah Huckabee Sanders for somehow turning buying a podium into a national national .

Speaker 3

Oh Jesus , I forgot about that . Yeah , I forgot about .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's yeah , yeah , so like somehow you managed to buy a podium that wasn't made in Arkansas for tens of thousands of dollars and then go to criminal lengths to try and cover that up .

Speaker 2

That was insane , and you know it's just like a bad movie where the kind where the plot is always driven by like one lie that you didn't need to tell that fucks everything up for you . And the moral is always tell the truth , especially in a romantic . If you think it's like a neat , cute situation and you think about like giving a fake name , just don't .

Speaker 1

I mean , you know , I don't know if it's even always tell the truth , I just tell better lies . Tell better lies in this . This is insane . Like it just absolutely bananas Now you're getting .

Speaker 3

Lies are even weak , like that is the fucking crazier shit .

Speaker 2

Like they are the weakest in , or just don't tell stupid , pointless lies or don't alter documents .

Speaker 1

Like , if you're at the point where , like , you're getting subpoenaed for documents , then maybe you should just be like all right , the game's up . You got me I don't know , but yes , now she might potentially lose her fucking job , like heaven McCarthy . Yeah , I don't even know how does she get to become the governor of Arkansas ?

And like , how do you win that election ? And do she think she was gonna like pull the bill Clinton and run for office , like for president ? Wonder , I don't know . But yeah Again , if you're listening to this and you're like it's a stupid fucking podium , how does someone win the shit hole of the week award for that ? Well , there's also the .

There's also like the part where she passed the legislation to turn kids into slaves . So child slavery is also not great . So , with that said , I hereby Award you , sarah Huckabee , sarah fuckery Sanders , with the shit hole of the week award . Congratulations , you , stupid dips .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 1

All right , kids , before we get to our closing thoughts , I got a tarot you can absolutely tune out here . Well , you might want to listen . I don't know . I've got a sports ball minute of the week , yeah , fun time .

So Aaron Rodgers , of noted fame for his quarter backing of the Green Bay Packers , who ended up being traded to the New York Jets this year , who proceeded to throw one incomplete pass before taking the entirety of the Jets season On 9-11 he actually 9-11 the Jets season on 9-11 . That was fantastic .

He was making some comments about the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs , travis Kelsey , after their game against the Jets , where he was noting , you know , kelsey's lackluster production in the game and in what seemed to be some , I don't know , some means of slighting Kelsey .

He referred to him as mr Pfizer you know , because Travis Kelsey's done a commercial about the Pfizer vaccine and , of course , aaron Rodgers , notably unvaccinated , who who , as it appears , lied to the league and the public about his vaccine status earlier in the pandemic .

I would just like to say , mr Rodgers , sir Travis Kelsey has two more , has twice the Super Bowl rings that you do , and he's actually playing this year . Maybe you should have got Joe as vaccinated , alright . That concludes the sports ball . Sports ball minute of the week .

Speaker 2

Close . But at least tomorrow he's not gonna . What's it like have 5g break his brain and turn him into Zombie my girl bot zombie .

Speaker 1

Zombie from walking dead .

Speaker 2

Yeah , and if you're all the unvaccinated people who survived the apocalypse and we didn't you know , enjoy your life with your .

Speaker 1

Well , I got my booster shot this weekend and that's like my fifth covert shot since the Development of vaccines . You know if I turn into a zombie tomorrow . Tune into the podcast next week I'll tell you all about it .

Speaker 2

I tell you all about how brains taste and how we're coming for you . Next to your brains , brains brains man's gotta eat . I recommend getting a brain slug .

Speaker 1

Um well , I won't be coming . I won't be coming for Kevin McCarthy in that case . Yeah , they're all cuz he doesn't have a brain .

Speaker 2

Sidebar that show brain dead was awesome on Amazon . They only had one season , though but let's .

Speaker 1

Yeah my closing is fine .

Speaker 2

Are about Matt gates being a fucking idiot and how he's . Again I'm gonna use the term overplayed his hand , because it seems like now he's on course to pass . I mean , just even the fact that there's rumors buzzing about his is possible expulsion , it's just music to my ears .

I mean , he's just gonna be replaced by like another Republican shit , but I guess they want to just find a more innocuous one . Do we want a cheer to keep Matt gates on so that they can't quietly put someone just as bad but , like you know , not as loud ?

Speaker 3

No , I want that fucker gone . Yeah , I want that fucker gone . So , we'll see how that goes . And that's the chef's kiss like for and he um , he put out there like to have McCarthy Alstead , so him also Getting fucking drug out of the house is yeah , it's beautiful , I love it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I can't wait , fingers crossed . All right , Ty your closing thoughts go .

Speaker 3

Goat I was Um . So what I was reading , uh , judd Lagoon's Um Talking about what's going on in North Carolina . I mean , that's my home state and it breaks my fucking heart like what they're doing . We'll tell us all about it that they are Making , like their legislation , a secret fucking police force to like take Like .

Uh , you call it um , um , taking Whatever , like what the fuck are you talking about ?

Speaker 1

Well , the government's aiming to institute yes , it is basically a secret police organization that responds to his command to will that will end up investigating his political opponents and anyone that he deems a threat to him politically .

So it's anyone , anyone that gets remotely close to having government contracts or not , can be investigated and have document C's and devices searched with no warrants whatsoever . And his back and call based on you know , absolutely you know no problem , because it is like going on in South Carolina . Kids read up on that . I'm saying shit .

He's literally taking the slogan make a move .

Speaker 2

Oh Carolina , Is that what you said ?

Speaker 3

No no .

Speaker 2

Okay , south Carolina would make .

Speaker 3

No , and North Carolina has always been like we've had , you know , dams , republicans , whatever governors , but has always been , you know , fair .

Speaker 1

But now it's a completely different thing and it is so disappointing to me Like side note I said the governor and what I meant was the state legislature in North Carolina , because the governor is a Democrat . But anyway , continue . Sorry , Go tie .

Speaker 3

But he and they've overruled like whatever he's vetoed or you know , or whatever . But Trisha Cotham , she fucked North Carolina , all of that . But what some Trisha , trisha .

Speaker 2

Cotham , I was just thinking she fucked all of North Carolina and I was like cool , she's a dissing .

Speaker 3

But she gave them the super majority , but she was a damn all for life .

Speaker 1

And she's a damn . Got elected and then immediately flipped the Republican party , so we're so angry . Someone check her bank account .

Speaker 3

She's been a long time Democrat and OK , and even if you flip , ok , whatever , but you are now , whatever the ideologies and everything that you held or stood up for , you throw that out . To Like that makes no fucking sense to me . It makes no fucking sense to me .

I hate to see what is going on in my home state , like really , like it's so gross and I don't know what the fuck is . Like they like what you said , like Check the bank accounts , like I really need to know .

Because , even if you did flip because I don't know she was saying that , oh , she was bullied by Democrats or whatever OK , but every damn issue that you were for before , you threw that out also with yeah , it's not just that , she's caucusing with Republicans , she's like the deciding vote in enabling the most insane bananas legislation that they're trying to pass in

in the state legislature .

Speaker 1

Like overruling the governor's vetoes and everything is wild Like when I say check her fucking bank accounts , I mean like we literally just had a Congress or no , a senator arrested for . Like stashing gold bars and like hundreds of thousands of dollars at home that he received for , you know straight up bribes . Like someone just walk around her house just in case .

There's like a fucking gold bar lying around , because it's absolutely wild .

Speaker 2

Like this was here when I moved in . You can't prove that it wasn't . You can't prove that it wasn't .

Speaker 3

Oh , but I feel like I know that I'm concerned with the dark money and the operatives because I think that's their thing . Now they are targeting Dems who are vulnerable and fucking in pivotal seats and pivotal states . Yeah , yeah , that's what they're doing now , like between now and 2023 .

And when I was at Russell's , you know , you know I used to , but when I was at Russell a little louder .

Speaker 1

They probably didn't hear you , ty .

Speaker 3

But when I was at Russell's yesterday no , not that part .

Speaker 1

He started like going in on where you used to be a Republican .

Speaker 3

He started going in on POTUS and they go why do you hate him so much ? Give me something that makes sense . And he couldn't . He goes . Why do you love him so much ? I go , I could tell you right now , but you're not going to fucking listen . But you're not going to fucking listen .

Speaker 1

Well , did you tell him like he actually passed legislation ? It's helpful . Yeah , yeah , I tried , and then he's you tell him about all the big farmers , pharmaceutical companies that just signed on and negotiate lower prices for medical recipients ?

Speaker 3

I'm like you're a fucking Syrian and you have told me that your dad was eating banana peels off of the fucking ground in Watt is because they wouldn't let certain immigrants come across the bridge . So how can you sit here and like say the things that you're saying ? You know , russell , I'm like Russell .

You told me also that when you were at SMU in Dallas , when he was going to law school , the reason he came back because he was like oh , I'm going to leave El Paso , I don't want to be here , I go . The reason you came back because it was so incredibly racist against you that you couldn't .

And now you're like spouting the same shit that was done against you . I'm like , yeah , you're wealthy , but you're wealthy because of this , this , this or whatever , and that's me .

Speaker 1

Yeah , the Republican propaganda , sadly , unfortunately , once you get money it works . That's from my closing thoughts , so just bear with me for a second . I live in Tennessee . So there's this woman here who you know became semi noteworthy because she was . She was seeking abortion and abortion here in Tennessee .

She's gotten pregnant and found out her fetus had had a couple of serious abnormalities and she had made the decision to terminate the present pregnancy but she couldn't because , of course Tennessee live in like Florida , it's Florida life , it's Florida without the fucking ocean and with no Disney .

But Disney , if you want to come here , we're open to negotiations Anyway . So she couldn't get the treatment she needed here in the state , had to leave the state . Total fucking disaster was her second child , of course , and she was heartbroken and devastated by this . And you know she decided to announce her run for office here in the state .

You know , which is quite heartwarming , that you know someone's taken their personal experiences traumatizing as it is , it must be and use that as motivation to try and run for office and make some change and create a better situation for constituents here in my state .

Also , gloria Johnson , if you're not familiar with her , she's one of the Tennessee three , who was basically the Republican led state legislature here tried to have her ousted for her role in protesting against the fact that Republicans here won't do anything about gun violence , even though you know the states had some notable instances of horrific mass shootings , including

the one at the school here earlier this year . You know she rose to some noteworthy acclaim after that incident and she announced her run for the office of Senate in 2024 , looking to unseat Marsha Blackburn .

And I just spring these two individuals up , not just because they they're close to home , just because you can look at these two women and the situations that they were in and the experiences they've had and they've taken taken those as some motivation to try and go on and do bigger things and actually make a difference in in what ways that they can .

And I just want you all , listening to this podcast , to look for any experiences you've had or any situations that you've been in that you can draw on and use as motivation to go out there and try and make a difference in the ways that you can . And that concludes this episode of part of the interaction .
