Ron Filipkowski on Today's Uncovered

On today’s Uncovered we started off the show talking about the blatant corruption involved with Trump’s new legal team negotiating a $230 million settlement with his former legal team which is currently running DOJ for supposed malicious prosecutions of him by Jack Smith.

Next we talked about Trump’s complete destruction of the East Wing of the White House and all the other building projects he is undertaking in an around the National Mall and the financing behind it.

I did a deep dive into the backstory behind the reasons why Trump just cancelled his summit in Hungary with Putin, where I think we are at with Ukraine, and how I see this playing out over the next few months.

Anthony and I both talked about how attending the No Kings events was a powerful emotional experience for us. Of course, we also talked about Trump and Mike Johnson’s comments about it both before and after and why I think their messaging on it was a huge mistake for them politically.

I also talked about how Trump’s peace deal between Israel and Gaza unravelled almost immediately and why my position on the entire situation has completely changed over the past 10 months.

We also discussed the situation with Trump continuing to blow up boats in the Caribbean as well as the implications of the admin allowing the two men to go free who survived one of the murder attempts.

I talked about what Trump is doing to farmers and ranchers who have supported him overwhelmingly in the past and continue to do so. We talked about how this also plays into the bailout of Argentina and the background of what Bessent is doing exactly with the currency swaps.

We also talked about Pete Hegseth and JD Vance’s stunt to do a live fire exercise over I-5 in southern California so Vance could make a video for TikTok, and the lies that they told about it.

I also went into how ICE has lowered standards for new recruits since they are so desperate to double the size of their agency, and yet a huge percentage of them still can’t pass the physical fitness test.

There was a bit more but those were the main topics. Link to the full show is here. See you with the next Today in Politics Bulletin tomorrow. If you missed yesterday’s Bulletin, that is here.
