Trump Taps Todd Blanche for J6er Slush Fund & Makes Bank After Boosting Stocks | Brendan Fraser

Donald Trump is accused of orchestrating a brazenly corrupt scheme to funnel $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to supporters of his political movement through a newly created 'anti-weaponization fund'—a slush fund controlled by his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, who now serves as acting Attorney General. The setup is so self-referential and circular that it defies logic: Trump is suing the IRS, which he heads, and then settling with a Justice Department he also controls—effectively creating a system where he funds allies while personally avoiding direct financial gain. The episode mocks this absurdity with biting satire, highlighting how Trump publicly praised stocks like Dell and Palantir just before buying them, then pushed consumers to invest—raising serious questions about market manipulation. Meanwhile, Brendan Fraser joins to discuss his new WWII film about the meteorologist who delayed D-Day based on weather data, drawing a stark contrast between historical leadership that listened to science and today’s political climate. Fraser reflects on the film’s themes of humility, respect for expertise, and the dangers of arrogance—offering a quiet but powerful rebuke to modern leadership. The episode closes with a surreal blend of absurdity and sincerity, as the host shifts from political satire to a heartfelt appreciation for Fraser’s career and the enduring power of storytelling. The most striking revelation isn’t just the corruption—it’s the normalization of it.
