So this is an email that Donald Trump sent out after one of his days of trial this past week, and I'm on that list so that you don't have to be, and I could share with you the type of deranged messages he

sends to his supporters, but here's the one that I got. It says, Ben, are you awake? I can't sleep. Then the message says, I can't go to bed until I hear from you. Please, please, please respond before midnight. Right now, all I can think about is you, Ben. You are the reason we will beat these witch hunts. So I am humbly asking that you take this survey. And then when you click it, it goes to a place where you can donate money. But how odd is this?

Are you awake? I can't go to bed until I hear from you. All I can think about you right now is while I'm in bed. I mean, how deranged and unhinged is this movement that they're sending out emails like this? By the way, and then after he sends that one, you then get this one. This could be the last email that I ever send. That's why it would just mean so much if I hear from you, Ben, at this critical moment. And then this one, Ben, I really, really want to meet you. And then this one, I need you now. I need you now, Ben. Please get back. I need you

now. Endorse me now. I need you. Ben, are you free for lunch today? I mean, these are some incredibly odd messages that he's sending in general, but after his days wrap up at his criminal trial, it's just over and over again, messages like this, sometimes five, 10 a day like this. Here's another one. You know I like shiny things, Ben. This could be the last email I ever sent. I'm going to be trapped in court, Ben. Ben, do you need a hug?

Because I will always love you. I will always love you. Then here's the next one. I love you. I love you, Ben. I'm always love you. Then here's the next one. I love you. I love you, Ben. I'm being held hostage, Ben. I'm being held hostage. This is my farewell message, Ben. I'm trapped in court, Ben. Please help. Keep your filthy hands off of me. Knock, knock. Knock, knock. I mean, these are the types of messages that are being sent over and over again.

And this is classic cult behavior. I mean, to have these types of deranged emotional appeals to his supporters. I love you. I can't go to sleep without you. Again, how weak and how pathetic is it? Well, Mr. and Mrs. Magadoni are funding all of his legal efforts. They're funding his private jet, paying millions of dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Magidoni, who respond to messages like that, are funding Melania's hairstylist, who's getting paid like half a million dollars, and Melania's stylist.

Mr. and Mrs. Magidoni is funding the lavish lifestyle of Trump's legal spokesperson. I'm not sure what she calls herself these days. Alina Haba, she goes and parties in St. Bart's and five-star hotels because she's received about three and a half to five million dollars in legal fees from Donald Trump's political action committees. And fundamentally, what you have to know is that it's all a grift, which you do. And as all of this is going on, we've talked about it before, you have these weird messages and then they copy Donald Trump. So you have the Magadonians show up at Donald Trump's events now wearing diapers and peeing into pee funnels on like on the floor during

these events. And you see the pee funnel, you see the diaper Snopes, by the way, fact check this, that this is part of the MAGA movement. Now people are showing up at these events wearing diapers, saying diapers over Dems because they want to copy Donald Trump. You've got their behavior. I mean, they just released like penis balloons at the trial because Donald Trump, you know, was begging them, sending messages to them, show up at the trial. I need you at the criminal trial. You got to do something. Remember Donald Trump sending those messages like here's a video of Donald Trump basically saying they can't even get here. They're trying to get here.

Play this clip. Outside, if you take a look, it looks like we're in Fort Knox. There's so many police and they don't allow people to come. You know, you're allowed to have friendly protests, but we're not allowed to have anything here. They have more police and more assistant DAs and DAs. I've never seen anything like it. Over what everybody, Alan Dershowitz, everybody said, there's no crime here. There's no crime. Jonathan Durley,

every single person. And then like when they actually arrived, they released like balloons in the shape of, you know what, with the photographs of the judge on it and the prosecutors on it. Like this is how MAGA is behaving. Diapers, pee funnels. I mean, you got to go, you got to go. But there should be porta potties at these events. And releasing balloons like this. Here, play this clip.

I love it. Flying pigs. Out of all the courthouse. Look at this. Oh, I love it. I love it. Oh, my love My god Whose face is over I love, I love the police.

Can't make this shit up, huh? They kept going. Oh, it's Alvin Bragg's face on the balloons. Oh, some of them at least. Not this one, though. Alvin Bragg and another one of the guys who killed him. Oh, some of it. I'll be bragging. Can't make it up. Everybody's recording. Fellows blink. If you haven't purchased the father's day gift yet. Yeah, we thought so.

And then Trump has the MAGA Republicans all dress up and wear the same outfits as they show up at his criminal trial. I mean, the behavior here is just so strange and so bizarre. By the way, here's one of these people who Donald Trump, who gets these letters.

This is a MAGA supporter talking about Donald Trump here. Play this clip. Back the governor anyway, but it helps with Trump. Trump's the man. You know, fortunately, I think there are pro-democracy voters, whether it's, you know, former Nikki Haley voters, others who just look at this and go, what in the heck is, what in that, what in the matrix?

This is some weirdo. This is some just, This isn't political. This is just some strange behavior right here that we shouldn't be supportive of. I want to share this with you as well, though. This was from the congressional hearings that just took place. And I love this because as Donald Trump's sending those types of emails, the MAGA Republicans in the House are trying to copy that. And they send their versions of that to their supporters using their positions in the House are trying to copy that. And they, you know, send their versions of that to their

supporters using their positions in the House of Representatives to try to fundraise because all of this is just one massive MAGA Republican grift. Here is Jared Moskowitz calling out James Comer for this. Here, play this clip. Chair recognizes Mr. Moskowitz. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. All right. So welcome to Oversight After Dark. If you love James Comer at 11 o'clock in the morning, you're really going to love him at 8.30 p.m. So members, the hearing was moved today. We don't have to ask the question. The hearing was moved today so that members could go to New York and attend the Trump hearing But how's he doing? He's complained that he's chilly in the courtroom. Is it is it chilly? Is it chill the gentleman young? No, I'll assume it's doing very good. Okay good, so

You know it was mentioned by the ranking member about really what we're doing here You know, you don't have to listen to my words. I would like to do a spirited reading of the campaign email sent out by the chairman. And it's on lovely stationery. In fact, it says from the desk of the oversight chairman. I'm not sure you can do that, but I'm not an ethics expert. It says, friend, President Biden is exerting executive privilege in a last-ditch attempt to stop the disastrous audio recording of his interview with special counsel from being released. And it's highlighted in yellow.

Want to make sure people saw that. Just a few months ago, the White House bragged that Joe Biden had nothing to hide and would not exert executive privilege during special counsel Herr's investigation. They even said he had nothing to hide. That's in italics. Now Biden and his advisors are terrified that I, James Comer, will release the recordings, forcing the media and the Democrats to answer for the dismal decline of Biden's mental state. He even had attorney Merrick Garland write a letter saying that his interview falls within the scope of executive privilege. This could be the final blow with swing voters across the country. Okay. You and I know, you and I know, hold on, we're not done. It gets better. You and I know he's not up for the job, but the mainstream's media refusal to report on it as only keeping him in the game.

Stand with Comer. The Democrats. You sure about that? The Democrats are pulling out all the stops to stop the bleeding. That means coming after me with everything they had. If you're able, we hope you are. I'd be so grateful if you'd consider making a donation to my campaign. I sure needed to defend against the onslaught of attacks. Thank you for everything. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Without objection, I'd like

to enter that into the record. Without objection, it's ordered. All right, beautiful. And here is, and I love this, here's Congress member Eric Swalwell calling the MAGA Republicans out. Play this clip. Well, it's nice to see that some of my colleagues on the other side can make it today. I don't know if that means that there weren't enough seats in the courtroom in New York, but I know that the Oversight Committee canceled a hearing that was supposed to happen right now on this matter so that they could be at the president's trial. I know some members will miss this vote because they want to be at the president's trial. I know some members will miss this vote

because they want to be at the president's trial. And I don't think that anything could animate the phrase do nothing Congress more than missing votes and canceling hearings to go up and be a spectator at your cult leader's trial. That is the definition of do nothing Congress. And here's one more from this past of Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin calling out the MAGA Republicans for their behavior, their cult-like behavior. Our originally scheduled performance was supposed to be at 11 a.m. today, but it was postponed when members of the majority chose to join a mass spiritual pilgrimage to the New York criminal trial of a Florida man, an adjudicated fraudster and rapist, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying corporate financial records to cover up $130,000 paid in hush money to a porn star sex partner. Now, although some people are churlishly complaining

that members should actually be here to vote on public business and should not have forced a last-minute change in the committee's schedule, our colleagues properly demonstrated for all of history their fierce devotion to this clearly reformed, devout, and pious Florida spiritual leader who many supporters are now calling the Messiah from Mar-a-Lago.

Of course, in the meantime, Chairman Jordan in the House Judiciary Committee Won't the gentleman yield? Preempted. No, I'm in the middle of my introduction. Sir, I appreciate that photo. It's a good photo. I would like a copy of that. Would you like a signed one, Raskin? Yes, I would. Could you get your members in order, Mr. Chairman?

It's a great photo. I want a copy of it. Order, order. Mr. Chairman. In the meantime. Yeah, folks. So as I read you those messages, there's nothing else I can say other than this is weird. By the way, this is Elizabeth Heglin, and she's running for office.

Just so you say, this is like a typical Republican campaign platform. She's running for Congress. So if you run for Congress and you're a Republican, you have to go now. I love Trump. I will be loyal to Trump. That becomes your campaign. And just watch, watch how pathetic this is. So this is what, this is what you have to do. Now, if you're a Republican, you have to show up at Trump's hush money case and he dresses you up in long red ties and then you have to make videos for him saying how loyal you are to him. It's supposed to be the United States of America. This is, folks, spread this message. Let people know what's happening because this is dangerous and weird. Play the clip.
