Trump Taps Todd Blanche for J6er Slush Fund & Makes Bank After Boosting Stocks | Brendan Fraser

Trump taps his acting attorney general and former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, to use his $1.8 billion IRS settlement as a slush fund for January 6ers, the president reportedly boosted his stock purchases by heaping praise on companies he invested in, the White House ballroom gets "complex" architecture and favor-hungry corporate donors, and Ronny Chieng uses his law degree to break down what this cascade of corruption means for Trump.

Michael Kosta serves up the latest headlines to help you make fat stacks of stinky cash: Ube-flavored coffee drinks put purple yams in high demand, horse piss contaminates a counterfeit perfume, and an aggrieved billionaire says "tax the rich" is hate speech.

Actor Brendan Fraser sits down with Ronny to discuss his new film “Pressure” and what it really means to take a creative risk. Fraser opens up about why projects that scare him a little are usually the ones that are worth doing and what it took for him to rebuild his career. Fraser and Ronny go into how the film raises uncomfortable questions about human arrogance, the cost of poor leadership, and what happens when ego overrides judgment in the highest stakes. Plus, Fraser teases the possibility of another Mummy movie!
