We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, and day 291.
Since Joe, your president, uh promised he wouldn't abandon Americans in the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, he did.
Yes, it is true.
Uh you had a Democratic witness say yesterday.
We'll try and touch on this later in the program.
Not exactly my wheelhouse, so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it.
Uh, that in fact, and and this this was the exchange, that in fact, men can get pregnant and have abortions.
Just just I'll give you just a just listen for yourself.
What do you say a woman is?
I believe that everyone can identify for themselves.
Um do you believe then that men can become pregnant and have abortions?
Yes.
Did I miss something?
I don't know.
I look, I've not been in school in years.
I don't follow this topic that closely, but it is uh apparently that's what the saying is.
All right, let's let's get to where we are.
Later on, we'll look at Pennsylvania and where the vote count is.
Almost, I think we're getting close to now 99% of all the vote in Pennsylvania is.
Oz still has a lead.
It looks like it's his to keep, and we'll see over time.
Uh some of this is early voting balloting, which is favorite Dave McCormick.
Um, we'll get our experts, Matt Towery, Robert Cahaley weighing in on that.
Uh that's a must-win Senate seat.
Uh New York Post today, Joe's train wreck.
Uh, and it has a picture of Joe Biden and a in a you know, choo-choo train, locomotive, whatever you want to call it, and literally headed straight into the rubble of wreckage that he caused and says gas hits a brutal six dollars a gallon, border crisis gets worse, ministry of truth collapses, market drops 1164.
Uh, it's been down most of the day.
It's up like 45 points now, which is nothing.
Um, baby formula disaster.
It's it's one thing after another.
It's just it's been and is and remains an unmitigated disaster.
So me and my team, we just started making a list of everything.
This is only a year and a half of climate alarmist religious cultists now in power.
And when you look at where we are economically, this is not good for this country.
You know, we now have JP Morgan is saying nationwide, they believe gas prices are going to surpass $6 a gallon by August.
We can prevent that right now by immediately declaring a national energy emergency and bring back fracking and bring back exploration and extraction.
Because our oil companies, our gas companies, they're gonna need time to ramp up.
But they now are warning gas will exceed six dollars a gallon nationwide.
And California, by the way, that means you're paying eight or nine bucks a gallon.
Good luck to you.
Uh Biden now, according to one report, and the energy crisis is so bad.
UC Berkeley government expert Stephen Hayward is reporting today that Biden and the Democrats, rather than do the obvious thing, which is go back to the energy independence they inherited because they can't give in to the new Green Deal radical socialists that run the party.
No, they're He's predicting that Biden and the Democrats seem determined to repeat every single dumb policy mistake in the 70s, and I remember those gas lines, uh, and they realize it might not end until Biden attempts to impose price controls and gas rationing.
You'd rather do gas rationing than allow our economy to thrive.
It's the lifeblood of the world's economy.
This is insanity.
This is madness.
It's bad for our national security, it's bad for our economic security.
Want to talk about one of the biggest causes of inflation?
That's him.
You know, White House press secretary, uh Karine Jean-Pierre saying yesterday, by the way, that that that she's not starting off well on that job.
It looks like a train wreck every day.
Anyway, she said the Biden administration is not monitoring the stock market on a regular basis, and the Dow plunged eleven hundred points yesterday.
You know how much you know how many billions of dollars Americans are losing in their retirement accounts?
They're not they're not paying attention.
They need to be paying attention.
They're causing all of this.
Growing number of consumers now, a report in the Wall Street Journal with inflation and record high gas prices is forcing many households, quote, to choose between paying for essentials and paying their monthly loans, and the share of subprime credit cards and personal loans that are at least 60 days late is rising faster than normal, and delinquencies on subprime car loans and leases hit an all-time high.
Now you got people juggling.
All right, one month I'll I'll pay my mortgage.
Uh the next month I'll pay my car payment.
Eventually, you're gonna lose them both if you continue that way.
And you know, the average family now is paying close to six thousand dollars because of Biden inflation.
If you drive, you're paying an additional two thousand dollars on average plus because of what ten days in a row record high gas prices, and you know, senators are blaming Biden for holding back production.
Of course, he artificially reduced the world supply.
Marco Rubio, he's not wrong.
He's saying Democrats blasting them over record high gas prices and inflation.
They want this.
Well, clearly they're not willing to do the obvious things to fix it, so it means they they're they're comfortable with this.
Janet Yellen confirming what we all predicted, and that is Biden is the Jimmy Carter yelling warning of stagflationary risk from from gas and food prices.
They're causing this.
All of this is preventable.
Every bit of it was preventable.
And you I don't know when you have Target and Walmart.
Now, I love Target and Walmart.
I love and Kmart when it used to be around here.
There's no Kmart anymore.
Anyway, but I love them because you get everything you want in one big place, Walmart Superstore.
Love those places.
And you get the best prices on everything.
It's cool.
I love it.
You can get everything from clothes, you name it, sporting goods, food even.
You can it's just great.
Anyway, Walmart and Target, two of the nation's largest retailers confirming this week inflation headwinds are intensifying.
The strength of the consumer will be tested as both Walmart and Target are signaling rising pricing pressures that are not easing.
Meaning that they they can't put something on their shelves and not make a profit.
They got to be able to put the lights on every day and pay their employees.
The Biden stock market crashed target shares, you know, over the over the cliff target shares went down twenty-four percent Tuesday of this week.
The worst performance since Black Monday in 1987.
The net income tumbled 52% from a year ago uh to 1.01 billion or two point one uh two dollars nineteen cents a share.
It's the first quarter ending April the 30th.
Last last year's first quarter income was was 2.9 billion.
I mean, we didn't anticipate this kind of change when we were sitting here 13 weeks ago.
So we own it, said the target CEO.
You can own it all you want, but it really you can own it.
The people that really should be owning it is Joe Biden, the radical climate alarmist, religious cultist, and the new Green Deal radical socialists.
White House admits stock market, not something we keep an eye on every day.
Really?
You want to admit that?
That pisses me off because I'm losing money every day, and and I have reduced my risk in the stock market as low as I possibly can.
I don't trust it.
I never have.
I don't have the stomach for it.
The little bit of crypto I have was money that I knew I was I treated it the same way I did with Vegas.
Uh That market's been crashing.
You know, I don't worry about it because I I didn't put a whole you know, I didn't put the milk money in.
But families are suffering needlessly.
You know, so now now we have a bit how do we ever come up in the United States of America with a baby formula shortage?
Where's operation warp speed make baby formula?
It's ridiculous.
You know, and by the way, when you look down deep and you look at how this all happened, the FDA should have uh pre-approved alternative suppliers as part of the supply chain strategy, and they they never lifted a finger.
And now all they want to do is blame manufacturers as they always do.
Just like they're attacking Elon Musk, just like they're attacking even Jeff Bezos.
I can't even believe even Jeff Bezos can't take the stupidity of this woke mob that runs Washington now.
Uh, but it it is every American now is suffering at every level, especially the poor middle class and people on fixed incomes.
I've been there, and it sucks not being able to pay your rent, pay your car payment, pay all your bills, and juggling what you know whether you can even afford McDonald's at this point.
It's it's that bad.
This is this is that bad.
You know, so um, you know, Nancy Pelosi gas price controls will only make pain at the pump worse.
Good.
We don't need controls.
It's called the free market.
If you look on inflation, a 40-year high.
We're paying almost twice what we paid under Donald Trump for gas.
We are paying twice.
You know, five dollars eighty-seven cents it took to I paid this weekend to fill up my car.
Uh, you know, if you go back, triple A says Americans were paying an average of 239 at the pump for regular gas and two sixty-three for diesel under the Trump administration.
Uh what?
Now the all-time high is we're we're paying $4.60 on average, 10 days in a row.
We we set one new record after another.
Who can afford this?
But of course, you know, the only one that got a a break on on natural gas was Vladimir Putin with the Nord Stream 2 gift that Vladimir got from the uh Biden family syndicate.
It's insane while simultaneously eliminating the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Alberta premier in Canada said, Yeah, it would be done by now if Joe didn't stop it, and we'd be sending you 900,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada.
Why did we stop it?
Why don't we reignite it?
Why did we run out of COVID-19 tests?
Why do we run out of therapeutics and monoclonal antibodies during Christmas, a time you would anticipate a rise in COVID cases?
Had it uh Joe Biden on the supply chain crisis.
Oh no, we'll be out of that very shortly.
Forget it.
The disaster in Afghanistan, war in Europe, parents are domestic terrorists, the border crisis.
We just set a new month record last month, 235,000 illegal immigrants, and it's gonna be the worst than last year, which set a 30-year record.
Now the baby formula shortage.
Remember the same Joe Biden that said no one making over 400,000 a year will have their taxes raised.
Lie.
You'll actually see your standard of living go up and costs go down.
Lie.
Uh inflation is transitory.
Lie.
The supply chain crisis will be fixed in a 90-day sprint.
Lie.
Uh to I promise to be the most pro-union president.
Uh, how's that working out?
I will shut down the virus.
Lie.
I will not make vaccines mandatory.
Joe Biden, lie.
Mask mandate will be lifted after a hundred days and will not last forever.
I promise you as president, I will protect America.
I'll protect your family.
I will defend our nation from threats seen and unseen.
Lie, lie, lie, and lie again.
I will visit the border at some point.
Hasn't visited it.
I will get the opioid crisis under control.
Not happening.
You deserve a president and vice president that'll spend every minute of every day working to make your life better.
I promise that's exactly what Kamala and I will do.
Lie.
I will be a president for all Americans, not just a Democratic president.
I will unify the country.
A big lie.
I will defeat the lies, a bigger lie.
I will always tell the truth.
Inflation is transitory.
Another lie.
The Afghanistan withdrawal will be conducted orderly and safely.
Another lie.
Biden on numerous occasions has referred to Kamala as president.
He doesn't even know what day it is.
He advocated for Putin's removal from power, then had to walk that back.
He forgets his own defense department, uh, Secretary of Defense's name, Lloyd Austin.
He forgot the name of his infrastructures are Mitch Landrew.
I mean, all these truths, but oh, maybe we're created equal and doubt by the thing.
Oh, you know the thing.
You mean God, the creator of everything?
You know, speaking about voter rights, he claims falsely.
He was arrested during the civil rights movement.
This is a guy that partnered with a former Klansman to stop the integration of schools.
You can't I helped this desegregate restaurants and movie theaters.
No, you didn't.
He lies on used to do trucking.
No, you didn't.
You lie repair.
I used to ride a tractor trailer.
Not happening.
I can keep going.
We're in trouble.
This country is in deep shift.
It matters.
This is killing every American 401k.
It's it is putting so much pressure on the American people, and all of it preventable.
And all of it's fixable.
But he'd have to go back to Donald Trump's policies.
That's not going to be an option, is it?
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Americans are suffering and they're suffering needlessly because of this insanity.
These radical policies, this radical agenda, this climate alarmist religious cult.
And when I mean cult, it is a cult rather than solve the problem, which is to produce more energy, of which we have an abundance of.
They steadfastly refuse.
They don't care.
Listen to what Donald Trump predicted during the campaign.
He predicted a dire economy and what would happen to gasoline.
Let me tell you about the stock market.
When the stock market goes up, that means jobs.
It also means 401ks.
If you got in, if you ever became president with your ideas, you want to terminate my tax, my taxes.
I'll tell you what, you'll lose half of the companies that have poured in here will leave.
And plenty of companies that are already here, they'll leave other places.
They will leave and you will have a depression.
The likes of which you've never seen.
We have more oil than anybody, okay?
And it's uh an incredible thing that have been over the last few years, a lot of great things.
And you're paying what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline?
That's okay.
You know what that's like?
That's like a tax cut.
That's bigger than a tax cut.
If Biden got in, you'd be paying $7, $8, $9.
Didn't they say get rid of your car?
Uh, where are we?
Look at this.
Interest rate's soaring, home sales decline now for the third straight month.
By the way, all that money you thought you made uh in terms of value of your home, it's gonna be a race in no time.
Now eventually it'll level out, but that's gonna be years down the road.
Hopefully, we elect a Republican House and Senate, hence my involvement in Pennsylvania and why it's so important.
Grand home is actually out there lying.
Oh, energy prices are not uh uh Uh Joe Biden's fault.
Yes, it is.
He reduced the supply.
We're now paying the price.
We're now paying the price.
You'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
Can't get any worse.
Thanks, Scott Shannon.
25 till the top of the hour.
These are self-inflicted wounds.
These are all problems that could have been prevented.
All of them.
We can resolve all of them as well.
Not easy.
I don't want to say anything's easy to ramp up production of energy in this country.
It's going to take a number of months, but it could be done.
I have a lot of faith in our in our energy companies, our gas companies, our the oil industry.
They know how to do it.
You know, we can create jobs.
Well, and our dependency on all foreign oil.
We won't have to make deals with Venezuela.
We won't from a foreign policy perspective.
Also, it'd be good for job creation here at home.
Also it drop the 40-year plus high of inflation.
It would create high-paying career jobs.
It would also lower the price of the pump dramatically.
It was Joe Biden's policies.
He artificially reduced the world supply of energy.
We were a net exporter of energy thanks to Donald Trump's policies.
We became energy independent under Donald J. Trump.
We can go back to that.
It'll take time, but the impact will be real.
Joe won't do that.
He'd rather you pay the six dollars an hour now, uh six dollars a gallon that JP Morgan is now predicting is gonna happen.
And and you know, and and what we're talking about in Washington is, you know, watching this yesterday.
Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?
And the answer from the Biden appointee is yes.
I'm like, why are we talking about this when people can't pay their mortgage, get baby formula for their children?
They're paying ten days in a row record high gas prices.
Now they're talking about rationing, and we have more energy, more gas, more resources than we would ever need for 200 plus years.
It is insanity to me.
You can talk about that in a spare time after after dinner.
You guys can go to have a committee meeting after hours and talk all about it uh stuff I don't know anything about.
Maybe the science changed.
That's all new to me, because I haven't heard about it.
Um and you know, it's not helping the Democrats politically.
You know, you've you've got they focus group um for six months, and they came up with the term ultra maga, because they think that'll help them in the upcoming election, like they think the overturning of Roe v.
Wade will help them in the upcoming election.
Well, when you look on balance, the American people are pretty smart, they're gonna realize very quickly, Roe v.
Wade will not outlaw abortion.
And you no matter what they say, whatever scare tactics, all the hangers that they they draw on the pavement in front of the homes of doxxed uh Supreme Court justices, that's just not gonna meet the reality of oh, abortion is legal in America.
Oh, okay, the states decide what restrictions they may or may not have.
Oh, liberal states are gonna have very liberal abortion laws.
Oh, the Democrats are so extreme they want an abortion up until the moment of birth.
That's how nuts they are.
And people will get that part of it too, so it's not gonna be the secret weapon that they think it's gonna be.
So if I guess uh they're gonna use the term ultra MAGA, well, then the Democrats, socialists are ultra-extremist failures because they're destroying every aspect of our of our economy from top to bottom, and they have absolutely no intention that they're showing that they're willing to change course.
We're not gonna have a Bill Clinton, the era of big uh government is over moment.
We're not gonna have an end of welfare as we know it, moment.
We're not gonna have a sister soldier moment.
He's not capable of it.
You have another Biden judicial nominee.
Apparently said the border wall and voter ID laws are grounded in white supremacy.
What is she talking about?
You know, and then it's not started out well for the uh Karine Jean-Pierre, who's the new press secretary.
You know, it's I I don't think this is going to work out well in the end.
Certainly hasn't been a good opening couple of days.
Um thank goodness we got rid of the the governance, whatever you call this, the disinformation governance board that they wanted to create at the Department of Homeland Security.
Uh, how about the Department of Homeland Security start securing the border because last month was a record high of all time, 235,000 illegal immigrants, but just people we've covered it so much last year, they're just not paying attention to it.
We're paying attention to it.
It's unbelievable.
Top Republicans, you know, are are looking at this.
Look, look at a guy like Elon Musk.
I, you know, Elon Musk is fast is fascinating to me.
I don't know anything about him.
I've exchanged text with him like once, and I invited him to do the show.
He said he'd think about it, never got back to me, which means no.
Okay.
I kind of respect him, though.
If you haven't watched the series, the men that built America, the people like the Rockefellers and Carnegie Mellons and uh JP Morgan's of the world.
First of all, they were all killers.
You have this reputation.
I guess they're great philanthropists when they made all this money, but but these are the people they fought tooth and nail to build businesses and build up this country.
I mean, Henry Ford's of the world that transformed the the entire country with with the Model T. Um, they're amazing.
And I kind of look at Elon as as a modern day guy, and here's a guy that has been watching all that's happening, and he rightly branded the Democratic Party as the party of division and hate, and I can no longer support them.
In the past, he says I voted Democrat.
They were mostly the kindness party, at least he believed that.
I know better.
I've been following this longer and more deeply than he has, but they have become the party of division and hate.
I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.
Yeah, they're already calling attacking him today, the Biden administration.
Like we don't have more important things to do.
You know, uh, like for example, uh get the price of gasoline down, uh, get the price of goods down, get the supply chain crisis fixed.
What the uh the White House immediately tagged Elon as an anti-labor billionaire.
That was their response.
An anti-labor billionaire.
Um I don't know for sure, but I'm betting any amount of money that people that work at Tesla probably get paid a very good salary.
That's my guess.
I might be wrong.
Linda, maybe if you find research on it, you can correct me if I am wrong, but that's my best guess on that.
I don't think that uh Elon Musk is paying people low wages.
I don't think he's a bad guy to work for either.
Plus you're at Twitter and you're part of the Twitter hate conservative, you know, uh social media mob.
You might get fired.
Um but anyway, so he's gonna vote Republican for the first time.
You know, I didn't even know this was true.
Apparently, House staff members are not gonna get their Peloton fitness membership perks after all.
The chief administrative officer of the House is backing out of a planned deal with Peloton to provide staff and capital police officers with Peloton all access and Peloton app memberships through its center of well-being.
Our government has a center of well-being.
Linda, do we have a center of well-being on this show?
Not only do we have a planted room.
Wait a minute.
I'm I'm just saying, you know, listen, there might be hot yoga coming up.
There might be some other things, you know, but it looks like they are getting a nice little uh cushy place to work out on the taxpayer dollar.
So the babies are starving to death, but our congressional representatives are working out.
It's very Peloton perk.
Uh I don't, I'm sorry, guys.
I'll buy you lunch every day when I do.
I I have a there's a method to my madness.
I buy my radio staff lunch, I buy my TV staff dinner every day.
Why do you do that, Hannity?
Because I'm super generous.
That's partly true.
I can slap my all right.
Stop with stop with the looks.
Uh, yeah, I did see that, by the way.
Uh Tesla employees are paid well a software engineer, 58 grand to 340,000 a year.
A Tesla engineer, 36 to 150 a year, zip recruiter.
So not bad.
I mean, it's good money.
Um, and I'm sure you have a career path.
Um, but I want my staff to work.
I don't want them getting up and going to the store and deciding what they're going to eat every day.
Use Uber Eats or Grubhub or any one of these other things that I barely know how to use and and have it delivered to your house.
Good thing I don't know how to use it, or else I'd be ordering McDonald's, but I'm I'm on a very strict paleo diet now, and I'm locked in and I'm not going back.
Uh I won't touch pasta, I don't touch bread, I don't touch any of it.
Maybe one cheap meal a week, and that's it.
Anyway, so um we have a lot of updates as it relates to the Michael Sussman trial, which kicked off in Washington this week.
The Democratic lawyer accused of lying to the FBI about his work for the Clinton campaign.
I have not gotten a full update.
Apparently, explosive developments today in the courtroom uh will have somebody that was in the courtroom on the show tonight on Hannity.
We'll get that to you as soon as we can.
Uh Durham's team laying out the evidence that Sussman's meetings with the FBI were part of an October surprise against then candidate Donald Trump.
In other words, everything we told you on this radio program with our ensemble cast doing great reporting was correct.
And it's only going to get more correct as as time goes on.
They had Mark Elliott on, uh, Elias on rather, and they had uh James Baker, the FBI former general counsel.
Something apparently James Baker said today that they knew early on that all of this was total complete BS.
Well, then that goes right to the heart of his FBI, the 1%, not the 99%.
And how what who knew what when?
Because remember, Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director, famously said, without the steel dossier that we now know was full of Russian disinformation that Hillary Clinton paid for with money funneled through Fusion GPS.
I'm sorry, funneled through Perkins Coey to Fusion GPS that then hired Christopher Steele.
All of this was designed as an October surprise.
You know what we're hearing from the media about it?
Nothing.
Imagine if Republicans did this to Hillary.
Imagine if any Republican ever did it to any Democrat.
Mark Elias testifying, actually admitting that he was in fact responsible for hiring Fusion GPS for its smear operation.
Uh Jonathan Turley rightly points out, Elias testified that he would not have approved going to the FBI with the bogus alpha bank claim.
Uh, but the story didn't add up because Clinton operators had no problem pushing the fake steel dossier, which we now know was unverifiable because it's totally been debunked.
The one thing that was true, they won't report on.
Hunter Biden's laptop.
The one thing that was true that there was no Trump Russia collusion, they lied about for three long straight years.
Here's the worst part of this whole story, though.
We now know that during during jury selection, the judge allowed uh Hillary Clinton and uh Ocasio Cortez donors into the jury pool.
Are you kidding me?
And other democratic donors into the jury pool.
Okay, that would be tainting the jury pool.
That is a miscarriage of justice.
You shouldn't have Clinton and Ocasio-Cortez supporters, or for that matter, even Trump supporters.
Uh involved in a case like this that is so political.
I I mean, it's it's almost like the fix is in.
By the way, Donald Trump, I saw Miranda Devine's piece today.
He has now hired an attorney uh to launch the first stage of what is a multi-prong strategy to make those that sign that letter about Hunter's laptop pay for the damage that they wrought to freedom of the press.
Remember, oh no, no, this is this is Russian disinformation.
This looks like Russian disinformation.
They had no reason to make that statement whatsoever.
They knew nothing about it.
They only knew that they wanted Joe Biden to win.
That's the only thing that they knew here.
And yet that's how corrupt they were.
And these are former Intel people.
They just lied.
And they got caught now.
And what are the consequences?
If it was me, I'd be in jail for the rest of my life.
But don't worry, all they want to talk about in Congress now is do you believe men can become pregnant and have abortions?
I guess those are important issues for some people, but making sure Americans have baby formula, making sure Americans can make ends meet.
We have two thirds of the country now living paycheck to paycheck.
We have to fix this.
We can't go another 10 days with every single day being a record high for a gallon of gasoline.
We can't continue that.
We can't have the poor, the middle class people on fixed income treated this way because of uh and an adherence to this climate alarmist religious cultism.
And it's a cult.
You know what it's like?
They have they have teams that sometimes go into cults and try and rescue people and then try and deprogram them.
I mean, that's how insane it is.
Rather than drill rather than frack, rather than produce all the energy here at home and and not rely on Venezuela, Iran, and OPEC and create high pay in American jobs and lowering the inflation number and lowering the price of gasoline that they won't even consider that.
It's unbelievable.
Well, by the way, we did find out, you know, the group Black Lives Matter.
What do we want dead cops?
When do we want them now?
That their co-founder said that $90 million in white guilt money came pouring into the organization's coffers after the murder of George Floyd, and the group had no infrastructure.
Now we find out where the money is spent, the six million dollar property, uh, tons and tons of money to family members.
I mean, we're talking in the millions.
Millions of dollars.
And that is an awful lot of money for people to get paid.
According to the group's latest filing, they paid uh Turner's company $969,000 for production design and media services.
An additional $840,000 went to a security company owned by Culler's own brother.
Wow.
Sounds like a great family.
Sounds like the Biden family syndicate to me.
Good grief.
If I was a donor, I uh I'd wonder why did so many corporations give to a group the chance, what do we want dead cops?
When do we want them now?
Why did they do that?
