37:23Now PlayingThe podcast episode covers two main news stories. The first is the appointment of Scott Perry and Ronnie Jackson to the House Intelligence Committee by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Perry was deeply involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, communicating frequently with figures like Jeffrey Clark about installing Clark as acting Attorney General to aid Trump's attempts to stay in power. Jackson is a former White House physician who engaged in inappropriate behavior like berating subordinates, making sexual comments, and inappropriately consuming alcohol and medication while on duty during the Trump administration. The appointments raise concerns about the committee's integrity and independence, especially since Johnson did not consult the committee's chair before making the partisan appointments at Trump's behest.
The second news story discussed is a Pro Publica article revealing that nine witnesses in criminal cases against Donald Trump received significant financial benefits from Trump's campaign and businesses after his indictments. This includes large raises, new jobs, board seats, stock grants, and severance packages worth millions of dollars. Some examples are Boris Epshteyn receiving over $600k annually as a consultant after being charged as a co-defendant, Evan Corcoran's law firm earnings spiking after he testified against Trump, and witnesses like Dan Scavino getting board seats and million-dollar retention bonuses after being subpoenaed.
Hawk expresses outrage at the unethical and potentially criminal witness tampering implied by providing lucrative financial benefits to people involved in testifying against Trump. He frames these stories as ominous signs of how a second Trump presidency would function as an outright criminal mob operation subverting justice and democratic processes for Trump's personal benefit. The host promises to cover some more uplifting topics next time after delivering these concerning stories.
