She says that the pressure continued for heard again
Find the money find a way around this legal cap of spending only five thousand dollars for redecorating the office. She says her supervisor told her quote: five thousand dollars will not even by a decent chair way. What does bring caution? I think a good chair costs by thousand dollars sky would be the worst prices right contestants. How much for this kind of beans? My guess is three million Why does a romance of four million dollars? Will you get it Oh I'm! Sorry, I'm sorry! What is four million dollars seriously? You can't get a good cheer for less than five thousand dollars when you realize you can get a sex chair of Amazon, will naturally sodomize you and it's forty. Nine: ninety nine with free shipping, that's real,
by barbed wire and our yesterday morning, when this news broke Carson's people denied that he was out their buying gold plated chairs, and that was cool for a few hours. Until this came out the department of An urban development is under scrutiny, and rightly so. Thirty one grand of your money on a new Room set for the Secretary Ben Carson, the times, imports hide when thirty one thousand dollars on a new dining set for Secretary Ben Carson's office, as cuts were being planned for programmes to the homeless and elderly and or been Carson says he didn't know the table was purchased but does not intend to return it. There are times when I
It's been cousins blackness, but then something like this happens that, unlike yea it as my do not cause that's how black people handle shit right. You get something, and I suppose you, but you haven't now like the guy from verizon- will call it like I'm sorry about this, but you pay for an Iphone six and we sent you a ten by mistake sounds like you back, so it turns out. Mr saving money over here wanted a cheerful, the five thousand dollars and then bought a dining set for thirty thousand dollars, and now the guardian reported, but his department just spent over a hundred and sixty thousand dollars a lounge furniture. You asked for that amount of money. Here Built a poor person, a decent house or three uncomfortable houses. Whichever way you wanna go like Ben Carson is key. doing some shady should at his departments, and it might also involve his wife
and his son I dont know. I do think this is probably why the secretary was so evasive. Last year, when Congress was questioning him about his budgets, sir, you have indicated that there will be substantial cuts. To the budget that has how might from housing vouchers Mr Carson, rather than through a quiz on all the numbers is not acquiesce. Mr cars, and I have the time to ask questions about things that you should have some knowledge of live with the secretary of had not. The number of the amount that you're cutting from housing vouchers. Mr Carson, how much? Mr Carson? Let's hear your number, Mr Carson ITALY, this testifying today and if you want a moment it ask someone behind you. I would gladly accord you that moment. I either I dont want to open the book in Look at the numbers. A good kid whose true scabs look under the bed, I don't want you look.
the bed and see their minds there's. So things are not looking good for Doktor Ben Caution, especially because it seems like every day and new scandal pops up and we haven't even talked about the biggest scandal. Yet this happened just eleven days ago. You see doctors. Caution was on Fox NEWS for an interview, and I'm not trying to be funny here, but he faltered. I promise you. We did not alter this. judge the audio is one hundred percent real, listen closely. You have a programme that you told me about that really was, or is the basis of this new wind programme. What is it
it's called the invasion programme, as you know, the Bible says, and book proverbs. Without a vision, the people perish when Carson didn't just fought loudly on tv, he did, while quoting scripture, although allowed to be fair, should be fair if you read Bible. It does say- and I quote, without a vision the people perished wrap it's in there, but this momentous hilarious. Distract us from the real issue, while supporting deep budget cuts to his department, carcinus spending lavishly on dining sets and lounge furniture and five thousand dollar chairs, which is not ok. Unless that chair cost five thousand dollars because has sophisticated
fought suppressing technology. In that case, its money well spent this weekend was another big one on America's favorite reality show, as the celebrity president's told another contestant. You you're, fired President Trump demanding the resignation of Tom Price. The secretariat The human services is out. It comes after spending, hundreds of thousands of dollars of your money alone, rejects pray spent more than four hundred thousand dollars in taxpayers, money on those flights, and it turns out he is. They reimbursing the government for the cost of his own seat. Fifty one thousand eight hundred these seven dollars and thirty one sense. That's rights, Doktor Tom Price, fired from president trumps cabinet for using taxpayers money on private jets. They'll get off that chip. This is the second
an example of a doctor. Getting dragged off a plain: it's gotta be so humiliating to get fired by trunkful being too extravagant right now combat saying that your name sounds to british. What would you do it for me this? This wasn't the biggest surprise from the time. The story, first it didn't seem like it would end well for Tom Price, not hard to figure out how president from felt about Bessie with, He was frustrated Mr Tromp berated, Mr Price and the oval office yesterday afternoon for about two whereas before then heading out to meet with importers, while Trump chewed price up two consecutive hours. I dont think trumpets focused on anything for two hours in his entire presidency, two hours long there, from the elderly, for so long they probably have to order a lunch in the middle of them. Shouting at you idiot, I can't believe you wasted taxpayers money. yeah hey you wanna go
fries yeah, but no dipping sauce, not no catch up for you and also, let me go Sorry I mixed up, who are shouting at ok Bob lie, and you know the whole times on price was justly Hey man. Can we speed this up? I've got a flight to catch. Come on, let's go, let's go get a move on you if you're wondering how sensitive trump is to the objects of cabinet bushels flying around a luxury jets. Well, he's this sensitive, we have great secretaries and we have some that actually on their own lives, as you know that
from that! That's from real problem with Tom Price, he's too poor to own his own jet. That's not how cabinet appointments are supposed to work. Mr President, you don't pick a defence secretary based on if he owns his own missiles. That's not how I rose and by the way, by the way, together fire track in the back. Our like the truck. In the background when Trump is talking, it looks like you didn't pick up one of these toys off the playtime early on. He was his leg. Where's the fire where's, the fire put it out, but look look in the end. This whole plain thing may just have been an excuse, because Tom prices real soon was far more grave. It seems like proton prices. Firing was as much about his failure to get oh bomber care repealed. As this relatively minor private jet controversy Obama, kid does the gay and not the one. This thing takes everyone.
Price Ryan. Mcconnell. Everyone comes after Obamacare, nobody leaves you dont Obama gives like Obamacare, like you know, in those old kung, FU movies, where the bad guy, like sending these henchmen, one at that time and though because Newman's like you go and then like it was a few years you gonna win. Obamacare is I've never almost feel bad for Tom Price, though, because from now on, he'll have to think about this every single time he flies so you'll, be on the plane, gazing out of the window, contemplating his life choices and someone will be like hey Tom price? Yes, yes, I'm well, I'm twenty four! You are the middle seed move over to the following:

Tom price used private jets, like they were members and, of course, Betsy Devices that scandal cushy abandoned the bunch of kids on a school trip to the Grand Canyon. A lot of people think you shouldn't have done that. But recently recently everyone has been talking about Scott proof.
He's the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and the love child of George, W Bush and baked potato, because you see he's taken cabinet scandals to a whole new level. President rumpus standing standing by EPA ministers prove it amid growing ethic scandals. Let me put up a list of all the other things that have come up. There's the condo that he rented from energy lobbyists. The approve raises, apparently for to aid salaries. After the White House had declined the request he asked acuity, Jus sirens to cut through traffic reassign staffers after they raise concerns about his spending. We requested a twenty four seven security detail on personal trip that wrapped up tens of thousands of dollars. Ok, hold a bullet from other, only version where talk when they went to page too, like when you scandal resume goes to the second page. You dont like that so much scandal, even gendarmes, would be like ok, there's unrealistic come on now, I'm a scandal for one person I mean this list
so long that the CNN and can literally have to pause to catch her breath. You spend a hundred and twenty thousand dollars on a trip to the Vatican. He hired twelve more agents causing at least two million dollars per year for their salaries, all these flights and first class, totalling more than a hundred thousand dollars in the first year of the administration, he is spend approximately twenty five thousand for a highly secure, sound proof, booth for prove any consider buying. Seventy thousand dollar bulletproof desk replacement Euro pay with all that I am not ok with that, and neither should anyone else right. The head of the EPA is spending taxpayers money like you just woke up increase, rounds body like what are you doing? You live like MRS Look some of the things that he did, what he spent a hundred and twenty thousand dollars to go high five, the Pope right? He also said that he was afraid that people were listening to his phone conversations. Show he spent forty three thousand dollars. Building a sound proof. Booth
yeah forty three thousand dollars on a sample booth, their border whispering? Sorry, one as it is one scampered wanted to spend seventy five thousand dollars on a bullet proof desk. which I don't even understand. What's the point of a bullet proof desk, it only works of yours, Some doesn't know how to walk around stuff. I already got ready man. This always happens, and also what is the head of the EPA need this level of security anyway, like who's coming off digging up a big coming for revenge like a poor. You grow. My wife, oh and surprise, surprise, Scott Prude only flies first class, but the reason he gave
is pretty great poet says he needs first class because of unpleasant interactions with passengers. What might be an example that, according to security office in individual who prove it at an airport, yelling Scott Private you're, acting up the environment your fixing up the environment, one of them is, first of all, whoever said that German, the airport is a hero, ok and yet here. Secondly, secondly, firing flying first class. Does you avoid angry passengers because now Everyone on the plane is walking past you. Be like a line of people. Just like your effing up the environment, you're offering up the environment, you my wife,
Why did I check my guest scared? I should have kept gets a here's. The thing is not just overspending. Everything prove touches turns a shady, so shady, so shady in fact, that even Fox NEWS call them out present drums said he would dream the swamp and least draining the swamp renting in apartment from wife of a washing lobbies. I dont think that that's even remotely fair to ask that question: why did you go around the present in the wide? Also give pay raises two to staff resided. Not my staff did and I found out that your statement changed. It, though so did we fired for that that it should not have been done and if he did, it may be that there would be some accountability, career, personal political powers, that oh, no I don't know, I don't know, I don't know you don't know who does? I think this is something needs be corrected and it was a mistake about it as if it was a mistake by my team that our unity so do take responsible. I think I'm fixing it has never been a bit better,
women have been better better dead. That's all folks! I bet prude didn't expect those questions from that network like he was probably like. My do we're on Fox what the hell are. You doing come on. You asked me how big trouble they give us an enormous and then Throw to our Virgil First mortgage commercial come on body. What's wrong with you not now before you get excited free exercise of thinking, prudes is going to be trumps next weekly firing. Remember one thing prove it, maybe an over time self dealing Cabinet member, but he's really good at being bad for the environment raving grace, maybe that he's seen by the president and other White House officials, as MR trumps most effective it secretary here started rolling back more than two dozen Obama era: environmental regulations, including Mr Obama's signature, vehicle emission standards and clean power plan. He also
best fully advocated for the president to pull out of the Paris climate accord it's amazing how the thing, you need for trumps or consider you effective. It's just hit delete on they think Obama did like I wouldn't be shocked. If the next cabinets official is just a heavy pebble on a keyboard, that's always gonna, be basically with this whole scandal. Trumpets like folks, I know Scott Prudish Super dirty, but thanks to the hard work and rejecting the invite and soon we're all be every bit as dirty as he is. Given. I find interesting about the conversation in and around whose burden people say all this person took a tax incentive. Isn't that what we want to consumers preach,
That's exactly what they say. They say like hey. We don't want to make this money issue, for you showed that we're gonna give you tax cuts. You can take your tax cuts in your taxes than another waits for people did get a tax incentive. Now those people won't be able to renew their status in the United States. People who, by the way, may have thought of families businesses, everything like you, you may not be able to stay because they just like you, you, you did the thing that we we said you could do, and it is interesting how they bring up like the food stamps and whether they be like these people. You don't want
immigrants who are here, who are a burden on the system, and I get look. I don't agree, but I get the argument when they go like undocumented immigrants, but when a person whose illegally and they may have used any talk type of system as part of the country, it makes sense. And then you look at someone like Bessie Divorce, who I'm? If you saw the news today, it was reported. Betsy devices family has one of their yachts, one of the areas where they ve saved in the region of two and a half million dollars in taxes on there was opposed to pay the twelve million doesnt taxes, but the way the avoided. That is by claiming that the boat is not an american boats and they fly the boat with a Cayman flag. So they said the borders from the Cayman Islands is the Cayman Islands boats, even though they owners America's. Then I guess on american boat, isn't like I mean it's gonna be pop in America most of the time, and we get on the bus we gotta get them out of the Cayman boats. As I came and Caribbean is not american. Unlike gathers the same Betsy Devices like America and this country we proud and America American, then she gives one a boys like as an
American. I think that we go on board at the time. I didn't think above all attacks implications. So you tell me who's meeting more system, someone who is not paying the text, they should be paying finding ways to non paid. Two point: four million dollars or someone who is using Obamacare or tax incentive because they ve been fifty thousand dollars a year now. Don't you tell me you tell me Steve banning donning, transform it. She strategist and guy selling fate tickets outside the legal concepts, men and left the White House in twenty seventeen, but he has remained popular in mega land and one thing he's used. Their popularity for is raising money to help Trump build his beautiful, perfect bird awhile. Well, at least that's what
send the money was four, but it turns out maybe not breaking news. This hour, the former chief strategies to the president has been arrested, federal prosecutors. The southern district of New York have indicted Steve banning, but what they say, his Israel in defrauding hundreds of. Thousands of Americans in connections, an online crowd funding campaign known as the we build the wall. The allegation essentially is Steve Ban and marketing this scheme. This build the Wall Scheme collected donations from hundreds of thousands of donors under the false pretences. This money is going. Go to build a southern border while instead, what's the abandoned and the other defendants allegedly did was pocket that money use it to paper. Lavish lifestyles abandoned apparently was arrested, while on a one hundred and fifty four yacht off the coast of Westbrook
He was arrested by investigators whither you a strange office for the central District of New York and also with investigators with a U S. Postal inspection service, as the arm of the postal service, that conducts financial investigations are comp, believed this a novel trunk. I have been arrested after the Erin Brotherhood and latin kings. The largest prison gang in America might be the former Trump campaign officials and everything about the stories unseen Festival Ben was arrested on a war hundred and fifty four years- and I know everyone is innocent until proven guilty. What I mean be real. Anyone arrest, yeah, I mean you guilty also. They said Van and was arrested by investigators from the Post office. I'm not just me, but I didn't even know the post office had police were those guys. When my name,
took my Amazon package. I can hear you using the vacuum that work you, but the best part of the story is why Ben and was arrested right, he's accused of stealing money from people who thought they would donating to build Donald Trump Wall, because you know you wouldn't want any criminal sneaking into the country and I'm honestly curious to see how this plays out, because the people who got ripped off now hate Steve Bennett right, but they obviously really love Donald Trump, but Trump loves Steve Bennett. So I feel like this whole thing is going to end with trump getting those people to donate forbearance, defence one, but then Trump steals the money and moves to Mexico which he can get too easily, because there's no wall delusional to criminal hears. It wants the village overnight and central armies and the commission to watch videos at the deal showed
I was on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram answer to the daily show on Youtube or exclusive content, and this has been a comedy central podcast.
