Trump says ‘I’d pay’ anti-weaponization fund applicants ‘the kind of money they deserve’

[0:00] this 1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund it was going to compensate people who say [0:07] the federal government weaponized the legal system against them it's been blocked by the courts met [0:12] with opposition from republicans and democrats in congress and democrats excuse me mostly democrats [0:18] some republicans and some republicans very few republicans just to be very clear are you backing [0:25] off the fund completely as your acting attorney general todd blanche has said or are you looking [0:30] for another avenue to revive let me explain what the fund is people have been hurt so badly by [0:38] radical left lunatics that worked for the biden administration and sleepy joe they're vicious [0:45] they're violent what they did to people and of course they went after me more than anybody else [0:49] they raided mar-a-lago and all the other things but people have been badly hurt they've committed [0:54] suicide they've lost their jobs they've lost their families they've lost their wives they've lost [1:00] everything they've lost everything over a fake weaponization of government so are you looking [1:07] for a way to revive it well it's look it was up to me i'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve [1:14] people have been destroyed lives have been destroyed many suicides think of it people have committed [1:20] suicide because a bunch of thugs went after them so me personally i think the weaponization fund is [1:28] a great idea and so do many other republicans you have to get it approved if they get it approved that's [1:35] great if they don't get it approved i'd be disappointed all right we're going to motor through this [1:41] um but you have to send people have this have been destroyed by crooked politicians and they should be [1:49] reimbursed for them do you think anyone who attacked police officers on january 6 should get taxpayer money [1:57] i wouldn't be inclined to say so but i have to see it i can tell you this 97 of those people you look [2:03] at them the fbi or whoever it was because you had a lot of crooked cops you had dirty cops comey was a [2:09] dirty cop a guy like bolton was a dirty guy there's no evidence wait a minute wait a minute oh you think [2:14] comey was a straight people who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers comey was a dirty cop [2:19] no no they had fbi who assaulted listen to me they had fbi agents ushering them into the building [2:25] they had fbi go into the building those people walking around they're looking oh isn't this nice [2:30] they weren't they were being ushered into the building there's no evidence you had a bunch of [2:35] dirty cops and frankly what they did was weaponization of our government so there's there's no evidence of [2:41] that more than a thousand no one yet no there's none you know what you do try looking at the tapes [2:45] one time would you take it look at the tapes one time but 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting [2:51] police officers you know why they pled guilty they be exempt because they told they were going to jail [2:55] for 15 years if they didn't should they they pled guilty because they were frightened they went down [3:02] they were ushered into a building many of them were arrested without even going into the [3:06] okay with them receiving taxpayer dollars the people were destroyed by dirty cops and by weaponization [3:15] many of those people should be compensated now with that being said the as i understand it the [3:21] weaponization fund was going to set up a group of people uh people that could be picked by anybody [3:28] fair people smart people and they will go on an individual case basis okay now i don't know what's [3:35] going to happen with the weaponization fund i love the idea because people like you the fake [3:43] dirty press the crooked press people like stupid bite he's not smart enough to know what's going on [3:49] but people that surrounded him surrounded his beautiful resolute desk in the oval office what [3:56] they did to the lives of people they destroyed people they sent people to jail who did nothing wrong [4:02] just just to be very clear there's no evidence of what you're saying but let me ask you about todd [4:07] blanche listen listen to me listen to me let's talk about this tremendous evidence there's nothing [4:12] but evidence the election was rigged it was a dirty election and it's happening again right now in [4:18] california it's happening right now in california right now it's looking look at what's happening [4:25] evidence to that it's the republicans are doing well in california it's no they're not they're [4:30] they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election let me tell you it's four days and they [4:36] aren't even close to coming up that's how they can you know why they're doing that because they're [4:40] cheating on the election there's what do you have evidence to support that all i have to do is look [4:44] all i have to do is look and i listen and i listen to people and let's see what happens but sir [4:50] that's not evidence do you think it's appropriate that's how they count the votes you think it's [4:54] appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking local [4:59] officials acknowledge they are slow they're urging no they're crooked they're urging the votes to be [5:04] counted quickly that's how they're crooked just like you're crooked your press is crooked and meet [5:09] the press is crooked to be fair i'm not crooked
