Outlines
💰 Financial Compromises and Foreign Influences in Politics
The first paragraph discusses the financial entanglements of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner, highlighting their potential ethical compromises. It points out that Trump is not alone in being financially vulnerable to foreign investors. The speaker criticizes Kushner for securing a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, despite objections from the fund's own board. The investment is seen as a conflict of interest, given Kushner's previous role as a presidential advisor with responsibilities in the Gulf Arab states. The speaker also compares the situation to the controversy surrounding Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and questions the integrity of foreign policy should Trump return to office.
🤝 The Impact of Kushner's Financial Ties on US Foreign Policy
The second paragraph delves into the potential impact of Jared Kushner's financial ties on US foreign policy. It suggests that the investment from Saudi Arabia is not based on Kushner's expertise but on the anticipated influence he could wield in a second Trump term. The speaker outlines how Kushner's Affinity Partners has made investments in various countries, all of which he had connections with during his tenure in the White House. The paragraph emphasizes that these investments are not benefiting everyday Americans but rather Kushner's personal wealth, and it raises concerns about the sale of foreign policy.
🏛 The Erosion of Church-State Separation in Oklahoma
The third paragraph shifts focus to a different topic, discussing the establishment of the nation's first religious public charter school in Oklahoma. It mentions the warning from Justice Sotomayor about the erosion of the separation between church and state. The paragraph describes the efforts of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State to file a lawsuit against the school, arguing that it goes against the founding principles of the United States by using tax money to fund religious education that may indoctrinate and discriminate against those who do not adhere to its faith.
👑 The Trump Family's Alleged Kleptocracy and Self-Interest
The fourth paragraph criticizes the Trump family's alleged kleptocratic behavior, accusing them of being self-serving rather than focused on the American public. It suggests that the Trumps' actions are akin to theft and that they are continuing to profit from their time in office. The speaker argues that the family's actions are corrupt and that they are not interested in making America great again, but rather in increasing their own wealth. The paragraph also invites listeners to engage with the speaker's content on various platforms and to support his work.

Transcripts
this is Michael popac with il legal AF
hot take Donald Trump's not the only one
that's put himself up for sale to any
investor foreign or domestic because
he's financially compromised on the
balls of his backside and has let the
world know that he can be had for a
price along with I expect foreign policy
if he ever returns to office that brings
us to the sorted tail the ethically
compromised Jared Kushner Donald Trump's
uh uh current son-in-law and former ex
uh advisor to the president along with
his wife Ivanka we've never seen
corruption or ethics violations at this
level in our
history um upon immediately upon leaving
office within just 90 days Jared Kushner
was able to raise an immediate $2
billion from the Saudi private
investment F fund the if under the
expressed approval with the expressed
approval of it the leader of Saudi
Arabia um uh Muhammad bin Salman MBS the
person who all us intelligence has
confirmed was responsible for the uh
terrible um violent uh death of Jamal
kogi an American citizen and reporter
for the Wall Street Journal who was
literally cut into Pieces by Saudi
Security Forces Jared Kushner literally
has taken blood money because MBS
approved the $2 billion investment in
his fund over objections by the private
investment fund the pf's own board and
advisers who said they had grave doubts
about the company's experience or lack
of experience and about uh Jared
kushner's lack of experience in
investing and with no proven track
record despite that MBS said Jared
Kushner son-in-law of a president
somebody who could go back into office
will take it and they invested two
billion now since
then every and I mean every dollar that
Jared kushner's fund the Affinity fund
has taken in up to $3 billion has come
not only from foreign sources that's
that's a given as the foreign policy of
a trump future presidency is literally
being sold before our very
eyes but every one of the Investments
came from a country or people for which
he Jared Kushner was responsible and
covered while he was a presidential
adviser this was his territory the gulf
Arab states he made it his remit and
then as soon as I mean literally the
door had just slammed on him leaving
right the tracks were freshly freshly
made and he made $2 billion and now $3
billion of investment into the Affinity
only from countries and people that he
had a relationship with while he was
while he was a presidential adviser
forget about this phony impeachment
analysis of Joe Biden about Hunter Biden
making you know $3 million over several
years on the board of barisma in Ukraine
that's that's peanut money that's pocket
money even even if that were true that
Hunter made that much do you know how
much
Jared Kushner is making on a yearly
year-over-year basis just on management
fees as an alleged investment advisor
just that without even getting to any
return on the investment if his fund
does well or even makes a dollar he
makes $40 million a year year over-year
for basically doing nothing other than
trading trading on his relationship
building while his father-in-law was
president and maybe is going to return
look I'd be less hot and bothered if
like Trump wasn't running for office
again but what we're watching is foreign
policy for sale Donald Trump's already
will be if he somehow finds a way back
to the White House and we allow that to
happen the most financially compromised
uh president subject to of course being
turned by Foreign assets being bribed
we've ever seen and now his son-in-law
is a prime example sure Jared Kushner
takes the convenient position that he's
not going back to the White House with
his father but does anybody think that
uh despite him growing a beard and
moving to Miami that the reason that
people are investing in Jared Kushner is
because his name is Jared Kushner or is
it because he's the son-in-law of a
person they are betting on and banking
on will be back in the White House and
they'll have influence over foreign
policy we're watching the sale of
foreign policy in fact Ben rhods an
adviser for Barack Obama in a recent
interview said exactly that let's take a
listen thank you for being here with me
um as you look at it from a sort of
foreign policy perspective how does
kushner's entanglement with someone like
NBS compromise potentially I don't know
the foreign policy platform of his
father-in-law who's running to be the
next president of the United
States well in a word entirely Alex I
mean look this is not subtle corruption
that we're looking at um this is a guy
Jared Kushner who had no expertise no
qualification whatsoever to be in the
white house while he was there he made
it his account to work in the Gulf Arab
states he basically helped lead the
cover up for MBS get him in from the
cold after the murder of Jamal kogi um
and look the Saudis didn't make a$2
billion doll investment because they
trusted in Jared kushner's investment
expertise do they does anybody in the
world believe that that $2 billion is
based on an assessment that Jared
Kushner is who you want to give your
money to uh to make a return no they're
making an investment on what they think
he can do for them if there is a second
Trump term and basically what we can
take from that investment is that in a
second Trump term US foreign policy in
the Middle East and around the world
will be made entirely with the interests
of Muhammad Ben Solon in mind let me
take let me take you through how Jared
Kushner supposedly makes his 40 million
dollar a year a year before even having
made an investment just off the money
management as a percentage of the money
management all disclosed in an SEC form
filing we have a copy of it the form
advv for an investment advisor um
reflects all this for his Affinity
Partners now he's made Investments
finally in year two of some of the money
again only in countries and with people
and entities for which he had a
relationship only because he was in the
White House
trading on the White House selling
future potential foreign policy like
it's some sort of Futures Market on the
stock
exchange he's invested in Dubai a place
he covered it was part of his remit as a
special adviser to the president in Abu
Dhabi same thing in Israel okay in
Germany um and in other places so all
the money is taken up in up to $3
billion is only from investors uh from
countries in which he was already
responsible as allegedly a
representative of the American people
sworn to uphold our
Constitution and then you've got the
Investments that are being made
similarly only there not in American
companies this isn't let me make this
clear make America great again make
America great Again by taking in $3
billion of Saudi uh United Arab Emirates
um and other money and Kuwaiti money
money and investing it in other
countries none of the countries that I
just described this uh Israeli Israeli
car leing company this Dubai real estate
investment company this Abu Dhabi fast
food company that owns fast food chains
in Brazil is helping
Americans This is that dirty little
secret if Donald Trump was a man of the
people and his family were too they were
trying to make America great again
instead of trying to make my bank
account as large as possible again these
Investments wouldn't be the money would
be from Americans maybe some of these
billionaires that just gave Donald Trump
$50 million in some flashy Mara Lago
fundraiser because they're trying to buy
a financially compromised candidate
might as well they've got everything
else at the billionaire they own the
$150 million Mansions they own the
islands they have the 500 foot yachts
they own every plane imaginable they
have homes all around around the world
what else what else what else can I put
up on my shelf Donald Trump I own him
too I've been around these people in my
career that's how they
talk and so they put him up on and Jared
Kushner let's take Jared Kushner too
because he's looking for a buck but I
want to make this clear not one dollar
that has come into the Affinity fund
controlled by Jared Kushner this $40
million blood money that he's earned off
of it and the Investments that he's
making help
everyday Americans it's not helping you
with the gas pump it's not helping you
while you're while you're at the
supermarket shopping for you know milk
and eggs and bread it's helping Jared
Kushner build a bigger house in uh
Indian Creek in Miami it's helping his
wife Ivanka buy another gown hang out
with another famous person right take
another picture of herself and put it on
Instagram that's what you're paying for
long as you know we want to share an
important message from our sponsor
Americans United for separation of
church and state Oklahoma recently
approved the nation's first religious
Public School Justice Soto mayor warned
in her Carson versus Mak descent that
this Supreme Court continues to
dismantle the wall of separation between
church and state that the framers fought
to build we've documented that assault
here on the legal AFP this religious
Public School in Oklahoma is the latest
Christian nationalist test case they
convinced a handful of political
appointees to create the nation's first
religious Public Charter School a
blueprint for other conservative states
to follow Americans United for
separation of church and state
recognized the danger and promptly filed
a lawsuit to stop st Isador of ceville
Catholic Virtual School in Oklahoma Au
says that this is the latest effort to
blur the lines between church and state
Au believes taking tax money and
directing it to a religious school that
will indoctrinate students in one
particular faith and plan to
discriminate against students families
and staff who don't adhere to its
beliefs goes against the founding
principles of our country Americans
United will keep fighting for freedom
without favor equality without exception
keep up with this issue at a.org legal
that's a.org
leala now look at this let's take the
plane up 5,000 ft look back
down and what this means and the most
and one of the things I must have missed
in the earlier reporting and kind of
putting the story together for this hot
take is the role of Muhammad bin
Salman who is the evil leader of Saudi
Arabia effectively who gave the green
light to chop Jamal kogi The Washington
Post
reporter and uh US citizen into little
pieces in in collaboration with another
one of our Frenemy
countries okay he gave the direct order
to hit over the objection of his private
investment fund the Saudi PF that has
$62 billion to invest around the
world it's the same organization the PF
that's trying to figure out how to buy
American Golf how to buy the PGA
effectively and all of the golfers
associated with it for live golf same
company pif even they as corrupt as that
country is and the PF is by extension
even they were the board was like
uh Jared Kushner has absolutely no
experience in running a fund has no
track record in making Investments we
have serious concerns about him unsatis
there are many this is their quote
unsatisfactory aspects of the company
and in a lack of inexperience gives us
pause and all Muhammad bin Salon heard
was Jared Kushner Trump Donald Trump
could get
reelected approved
and we're not just talking like a couple
of shekels here we're talking like
approved $2
billion effectively if we're doing the
math you know it's about um I don't know
one and a half perc is of their fund
total went to Jared Kushner and now he's
raised other money on the backs of that
always from Frenemies of the Americans
places that he covered while he was
Special Assistant to the president
making money in the grift while in
office and like like I said earlier in
the hot take I would feel slightly
differently if the Trump family and
their Caravan moved away and never were
to return to the White House what's done
is done they're not the first family to
ever try to make money on the backs of
having been the president or in the
White House everybody does it one way or
the other speeches at two 300 a million
200,000 a pop a million a pop books for
30 $40 million advances Boards of direct
director positions for hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year they've all
done it Clinton Obama um you know Reagan
Bush B the other Bush they all did it
they all do it but like
this this is this is a Grand Theft Auto
in plain sight this is like us standing
back and watching as you know Jared
Kushner and his family took
sledgehammers to the Tiffany window and
grabbed all the diamonds
that's where we're at right now and I
want to bring it to your attention on
hot taks like this one foreign policy
for sale president presidency for sale
so when people are making their
decisions about who they want to put in
the White House oh I don't want the old
guy I don't know which one that is they
both are but don't you want the old guy
who's not corrupt don't you want the old
guy whose family is not taking in money
from people who are barely our allies
who are responsible for 911 and all
let's let's not go 20 years ago Saudi
Arabia it was already established by by
uh our um you know our of intelligence
community that they funded and and
supported and indirectly help plan
911 that's Saudi but now oh you want to
open up a bunch of fast food chains in
Brazil let's do it $3 billion
please this is a family that corrupt
this is a family that does not care
about Americans average or otherwise
they only care about themselves and they
won't stop until we stop them they will
not stop this is a kleptocracy it was a
kleptocracy when he was in office we
throw a lot of adjectives on the Trump
presidency it's fascistic it's
terroristic it's stochastic terrorism
