REVOLT! Fox News calls out Trump’s corruption ON AIR

What happened in this episode?

Brian Tyler Cohen examines the unprecedented scale of Trump family profiteering from the presidency, focusing on revelations from the Wall Street Journal editorial board that Trump and his family accumulated over $2 billion in 2025 through cryptocurrency ventures and mineral development deals closely aligned with government decisions. The conservative Journal editorial board published findings showing Trump personally made $1.4 billion from crypto alone, including $600 million from World Liberty Financial, a venture co-founded with his sons that struck deals with foreign entities in the UAE and Pakistan. The editorial board characterized the conduct as honest graft, noting that Trump family investments in mineral development companies consistently preceded major Pentagon financing announcements and government loans. Don Jr. invested in Vulcan Elements three months before it received a $620 million government loan, while Trump reported capital gains from MT Materials after Pentagon investment. The Journal directly compared the Trump family dealings to Hunter Biden's foreign business activities, stating the only meaningful difference is the Trumps are brazenly open about their profiteering. Even Fox News covered the story, unable to ignore reporting from a credible conservative source. Cohen emphasizes the political implications, noting the Journal warned that if Democrats retake Congress, Trump family deals will face extensive investigation through 2028. The episode contrasts the Trump family's massive profits with ordinary Americans still waiting for the lower costs promised during the 2024 campaign, arguing the corruption has become so documented and undeniable that even Trump's traditional media defenders cannot provide adequate spin.
