Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the creation of a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund" intended to compensate individuals mistreated by the Biden Justice Department, including January 6 defendants. The fund was established as part of a settlement where Donald Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a permanent ban on future audits of his family and businesses. While the administration frames it as reimbursement for legal fees, critics and some Republicans like John Thune have labeled it a "slush fund."

During a deposit of funds collected at a local meetup, a bank manager discovered two counterfeit $100 bills featuring Donald Trump's face. The bills were mixed in with legitimate currency donated by attendees. The hosts find the incident humorous, noting that the back of the bills appeared normal enough to pass a quick count.

Donald Trump criticizes Joe Biden's use of an "auto-pen" for pardons, specifically those related to the January 6th investigation, calling them illegal. During a gala for Ben Carson's American Cornerstone Institute, Trump teases a "major announcement" regarding autism and its rising prevalence, crediting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for providing data on the subject.

A brief review of a political advertisement featuring Dick Cheney criticizing Donald Trump concludes that the footage is likely recycled from the period when Liz Cheney served on the January 6th Commission. The segment is dismissed to avoid presenting outdated political content as current news.

Tucker Carlson outlines the escalation of actions against Donald Trump, from protests and impeachments to multiple indictments. He suggests that if legal maneuvers fail to stop Trump's popularity, the next step in the "graph" could be more extreme. The hosts discuss this as a potential warning or "messaging" regarding Trump's physical safety.

Kash Patel discusses the financial burden placed on individuals subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee and the DOJ. He explains that legal retainers and hourly fees can reach seven figures, effectively serving as a punishment regardless of the case outcome. Patel criticizes the Republican National Committee for not supporting Trump's co-defendants in the same way the DNC supports its members.
