    BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): Taking sacks of goodies from people who support Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Jazeera, all the rest, that's not America first. Like, please define America first in a way that says you should take sacks of cash from the Qatari royals who are behind al-Jazeera. It just isn't America first in any conceivable way. So back to the original question — is this good for President Trump? Is it good for his agenda? Is it good for draining the swamp and getting things done? The answer is, no. It isn't. It isn't. If you want President Trump to succeed, this kind of skeezy stuff needs to stop. And here's the thing, it's already having an impact. It's already having an impact.
    ...
    Y'all remember President Trump launching dollar sign Trump crypto three days before taking office as president. Trump himself announced the Trump crypto on X. On Truth social, he described it as a meme coin, meaning it had no inherent value. It was just there for the kind of bleeps and giggles. The price ed to a trading value of nearly $13 billion dollars making it the 19th most valuable cryptocurrency on planet Earth. And then it proceeded to plummet, like, really, really dive.

    The project allegedly netted people associated with it, meaning the Trump organizations associated with the Trump crypto, some $350 million. 80% of the outstanding supply of that meme coin is still held by insiders, presumably members of the Trump Organization. Overall, according to data shared with CNBC, there were 2 million wallets that that bought that Trump meme coin. 764,000 of them lost money. 58 wallets made more than $10 million bucks.

    And then in April, that Trump meme coin announced that the top 220 holders of the meme coin would would be invited to an intimate private dinner with President Trump at his golf club. The top 25 were invited to a VIP White House tour. According to Bloomberg News, 19 of the top 25 holders of that Trump meme coin that have registered on the website's leaderboard have bought the coins using foreign exchanges that claim to exclude US customers, which means that foreigners are buying a lot of meme coin and then getting meetings with President Trump, like VIP White House tours and all the rest.

    This raises the question of influence peddling. If you basically buy a bunch of Trump meme coin and and then funnel money to organizations associated with President Trump so you can have dinner with Trump. That doesn't look great. Democratic senators, of course, immediately announced that they wanted an ethics probe. They sent a letter saying, quote, this latest action raises grave ethics and legal concerns, including the severe risk that President Trump and other officials may be engaging in pay-to-play corruption by selling presidential access to individuals or en ies to include foreign nationals and corporate actors with vested interest in federal action while personally enriching the president and his family.

    That might be overstated, but let's be clear, some people do seem to be investing in the Trump meme coin for the access. I mean, there was literally a CEO of a company called Freight Technologies that just bought $20 million dolars worth of Trump meme coin, which I gotta say is not like the most solid investment. What was the explanation quote? We believe the addition of the official Trump tokens are an excellent way to diversify our crypto treasury and also an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and The United States. It's like to impact policy. Again, not the least skeezy thing I've ever heard.

    Now listen. Maybe all of this is overblown. Maybe it's all nonsense. Maybe some of it's not true. And I understand some of it's being reported by legacy media outlets. But, again, here is the question: Does any of this help advance the president's agenda? You know the agenda that we all voted for, the agenda we want to see implemented. Does this make his presidency stronger or weaker? Now I'm gonna repeat again, I don't know whether this activity is criminal in any way, but things do not have to be criminal to hurt the agenda.

    If you want President Trump's agenda to succeed, taking jets from Qatar is not the way. Taking real estate deals from Qatar is not the way. The largest obstacle to any administration is scandal. From Watergate to Whitewater, scandal-plagued administrations have a really tough time gathering the political capital necessary to actually effectuate their agenda. And that's why it's unbelievably important that the Trump administration avoid scandal. That is the reason I am worried about this stuff.

    Yes, I think inherently it is bad. I do not think this is good. I think if we switch the names to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, we'd all be freaking out on the right.

    Trump is a crook

    It's what he is

    “This is not a gift” from Qatar, it’s “a bribe,” Batya Ungar-Sargon, who has championed the MAGA movement on CNN and other channels, told Newsmax on Monday afternoon.

    National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy wrote Monday that accepting the plane is “indefensible,” arguing that “the president and his flacks again demonstrate that they don’t grasp the concepts of cons utional duty and conflicts of interest.” He cited the “Trump family crypto venture” as another example.
    On his Monday show, Erickson argued that Qatar is not a US ally (though the US government disagrees) and pointed out that Attorney General Pam Bondi, who reportedly signed off on the legality of the gift, was previously a paid lobbyist for Qatar.

    “I think she’s opening Donald Trump up to legal trouble later,” Erickson said.

    I saw him forget to sign an EO that does nothing. Is that what he's talking about?

    Winehole is a purveyor of fake news

    It's what he is

    "I’m going to try one last time.

    The Qatar B-747 was built in the US by Boeing. They are offering a newer 747 to replace one of the two current AF-1s that have been flying for 40 years. Which are tired and need to be replaced. The wing based at Andrews has also purchased aircraft from other countries in the past which are currently flying our VP and senior government officials. This is NOT new.

    Qatar is offering the jet to the US military, not Donald Trump. The DOD contractor is based in the US, in fact my dad (a retired Air Force general) used to work for them. They are, not unironically, also working to upgrade the FAA technology as we speak. You know, Newark and elsewhere. They will get the aircraft and perform all of the security and the installation of the systems that AF-1 requires to safely move our president around the world. Not the Qatari’s. And you and I will pay for that but not the $400 million the 747 would normally cost. I could tell you exactly what is required to modify the AF-1 for safe flight but that is Top Secret and I’d have to kill you.

    This AF-1 will serve the sitting president, whether they be Republican or Democrat until Boeing gets their together to complete the new, upcoming improved 747s that started under Obama, was renegotiated under Trump, and was completely ignored by the Biden administration. It’s looking like 2029 to 2030 for delivery at the soonest.

    I love X but sometimes the “sky is falling” conspiracy crap grows tiresome. A little knowledge goes a long way. Having flown on the current AF-1s 100 hundred times, I have intimate knowledge.

    Now, come at me about “chemtrails.” 🤣"

    Sorry, the plan is for the plane to be donated to Trump's library before the next president takes office.

    You are fake news.

    DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps going on TV and insisting it’s safe to fly in and out of Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a string of extremely frightening outages and workforce shortages recently. But Duffy has now admitted he changed a flight booked for his wife on Monday so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark.

    Duffy made the startling admission to David Webb, a conservative radio host, during his SiriusXM show on Monday. And it’s a shocking thing to hear from the guy who’s supposed to make sure American air travel is safe.

    “My wife was flying out of Newark tomorrow. I switched her flight to LaGuardia,” Duffy told the host of The David Webb Show as they discussed the recent problems at the airport.

    hobnobbing with terrorists

    So MBS gets a pass and is still considered acceptable company for world political and business leaders. But that was not the most egregious display of audacity… Donald Trump doubled down by announcing his intent to lift all sanctions on the new Syrian regime — led by a genuine, Islamic terrorist — and his plan to meet with Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jawlani. Jawlani was a prominent figure in the Syrian opposition and led the rebel group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which the US State Department has identified as one of the ten most active international terrorist organizations since 2017.


    Within the last month, Jawlani and his crew have slaughtered Alawites and Christians in Syria. Jawlani claims to be a “new man.” I guess he is the St. Paul of the Muslim Salafist world. Hamas, pay attention… if you get a haircut, trim your beard and don a nifty Brooks Brothers suit, along with a red power tie, maybe Donald Trump will deem you worthy of a visit and a chat.

    at some point Trump will start complaining again about "bad Jews"

    The survey of Jewish registered voters, conducted by the polling firm GBAO Strategies, found that 52% of respondents say the word “antisemitic” describes the president very or somewhat well.


    In addition, 74% of respondents disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, while 26% approve. Close to 70% said the words “fascist” and “racist” describe him very or somewhat well.
