Msw media. Hello and welcome to the Daily beans for Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Today, Donald Trump has unilaterally dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the and has set up a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay his criminal co conspirators. The district attorney in Hennepin County, Minnesota, has charged ICE officer Christian Castro with assault and lying in the shooting of Julio Cesar. So, Cecilis. A jury has dismissed Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the House oversight committee will interview one of the prison guards on duty when Epstein died. I'm Alison Gill.
And I'm Dana Goldberg.
Today's news is super shitty. How's it going?
Yeah, Ah, it's super shitty, But I had a fantastic weekend in Rochester. The HRC gala was a huge success. But, man, my show. My show. And then one of my fans, I'm, going to the airport. I'm sleepy, sleepy this morning. And I hear Dana Goldberg. And I turned around, and it's one of my fans. I don't want to say her name on the air, but she was at the ARC gala. She was at my show. I don't know if she listens to the beans. She worked at the airport, and actually switched with someone so that she could work the gate and see me and get photo. And she's awesome. She and her wife are phenomenal. And sometimes it's just nice to, have that sort of love of first thing in the morning at 5:30 in the morning when you're going to the airport.
Especially at an airport. Right?
Absolutely.
Two kinds of love.
That kind of love, which rarely, if ever, happens. And then the kind of love you get with one of those airport bloody marys, which are somehow delicious. I can't.
Somehow delicious. Yeah. But Rochester showed up. We had so much fun. Yeah.
How was the talkout with V?
It was great. The audience, I think there was probably m over 200 people in the room, and there was at least 50 people that knew who V was. And so hopefully the rest of them have now been introduced to them, and we'll follow them on the socials.
Hell, yeah. V is such an important voice out
there, Just like the Daily Beans.
Super glad that that happened. How wonderful. What a great way to spend the weekend while Trump is looting the treasury for $1.8 billion.
I know.
And I'm gonna discuss that with Adam Klassfeld later in the show. It's funny. We did a substack live to talk about this $1.7 billion, slush fund reparations for white supremacists, basically, which is just.
It makes my.
I can't. I know this is one of the sing corruptive things ever in the history of US Presidents. But in the middle of that discussion, news broke where the judge came out and made a ruling. So we're going to talk about that later in the show. It's what I've been saying, basically. I've been on the Internet making little videos, which I never do because this is so important.
And I've been saying this isn't a settlement.
Don't let the media tell you this is a settlement. There's no case here, there's no lawsuit here. It doesn't exist. It is a fake lawsuit. There's no settlement. And that's basically what the judge came out and said. So.
Your videos, by the way, are so good. So, so I hope people are enjoying them. Keep doing it.
Thank you very much. You know, my staff at MSWB is like, you need to do more of those.
People really love those.
And I'm like, yeah, okay. So I'm working on that aspect of it. But also really, really terrible news. Horrific news here in San Diego, just about five miles away from me. An active shooter opened fire at a San Diego mosque and police believe people have been shot. More updates. Three people are actually dead. Law enforcement responded about 11:30 to reports of an active shooter at the Islamic center of San Diego. This is an incredible place. The ICS in Claremont. And this happened Monday afternoon. Two suspects were reported dead. Three high level law enforcement sources from local news agencies confirmed that to NBC 7. San Diego Police Department said the threat to the Islamic center had been neutralized around one in the afternoon and at least one person from the mosque was killed in the shooting. I think we're up to two now. I'm not sure we're going to keep ahead of this, but it's breaking as we're recording this. And that's according to CAIR Care San Diego. It's just a horrific shooting. Another one, Another one here in the United States. And I don't know what it's going to take for our Congress to pass common sense gun laws.
I don't either. Because if it wasn't the children at Sandy Hook, if that wasn't their breaking point, I don't know what's going to be, to be honest with you.
Yeah, and there were videos, helicopter videos from NBC 7 of children being led out of the Islamic center holding hands, just terrified.
They don't care. They don't care.
No. No, they don't. So we'll keep an eye on this story for you as it develops. But you know, my heart goes out to everyone at the Islamic Center, San Diego, families, the community. I know Gavin Newsom has been briefed. Our, mayor, who's not my favorite, but he's on his way there, so we'll keep an eye on it.
All right, we have a lot of
news to get to today, everybody. Let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes. All right. First up from NBC, buckle up. Book yourself a rage room where you can break dishes, because this is going to piss you off. The Justice Department announced Monday it's establishing a $1.776 billion anti weaponization fund after Donald Trump moved to dismiss his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns. Justice Department officials announced that Trump and his co plaintiffs would drop their IRS lawsuit as well as other claims of damages in connection with the search at Mar A Lago and in connection with the Russian collusion scandal, in exchange for creating the fund, which the Justice Department said set up a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare. So people like, you know, suffered people like Rudy Giuliani, who suffered people m like John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, who just suffered. Mark Meadows, Ken Chesbrough. Right. Mike Lindell, all these people who suffered. The fund was established ahead of court deadlines in the IRS case, which would have required the Trump administration to explain whether there was an actual case to be heard. Given that Trump controlled both sides of the case. The massive fund would give January 6th rioters pardoned by Trump a mechanism to seek taxpayer payouts for their claims of government overreach. The fund could even issue formal apologies to people who made claims against the government. The fund will stop processing claims December 15, 2028, about a month before Trump's second term is set to end. The $1.776 billion available was based on the projected valuation of former claimants claims, according to the Justice Department. Bul doesn't it's based on 1776 stop the steel shit.
Yep. 250th anniversary of our country, Trump's birthday. They're all coinciding this shit and this is what they're doing.
Yep. A group of House Democrats called The move a $1.7 billion slush fund that Trump could use to reward allies, including the 1600 defendants convicted or charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol. January 6th. Rep. Joe Negus, who I love, called the news one of the most brazen examples of corruption we've seen from this administration. And I take that further and say in history. The House Democrats litigation task force filed a motion seeking to block what Representative Jamie Raskin called pure fraud and highway robbery. The Attorney General would appoint five members to a commission called the Board of Truth and justice or some shit to oversee the fund, including one member to be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership. Meaning, you know, insurrectionists in Congress. now Trump can remove them for any reason. There's no oversight. They don't have to tell you what they're awarding people. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, who issued a memo establishing the fund, said the machinery of government should never be weaponized against any American, and that the Justice. Can you tell that to, like, Jim Comey and Andy McCabe and seriously, like, fuck you. And the Justice Department intended to make right the wrongs that were previously done while ensuring this never happens again. That's, principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter, known as the pay dag. And he's saying the use of government power to target individuals or entities for improper, unlawful, political, personal or ideological reason not be tolerated. Trump's two crotch fruit, Don Trump Jr. And Eric Trump, as well as the Trump Organization were the other plaintiffs in the IRS case and also moved to drop the lawsuit, according to a court filing. By the way, NBC said they moved to drop the lawsuit. They didn't move, they didn't ask for permission from the court. They just unilaterally dropped it. They noticed the court, they just sent notice. Last month, the judge overseeing the case, an Obama appointee named Judge Williams, questioned whether there was an actual controversy for the court to address, given Trump controls both sides. The Trump administration was facing a deadline this Wednesday to explain whether a case or controversy even exists. And outside legal experts told U.S. district Judge Kathleen Williams it could be useful for the court to do some fact finding and look into whether the attorneys representing the government were insulated from the president. She could have dragged people in and questioned them under oath to see whether Donald Trump was colluding with the Department of Justice and the irs. This is from the brief that was filed by the amicia. This case is unprecedented. A sitting president seeks monetary damages for alleged harm to to his personal interests from an executive agency that he controls. That presents significant Article 3 subject matter jurisdiction concerns. The court might ask why DOJ's approach to litigating this case appears to depart from its approach in similar cases, as well as what steps the defendants the IRS are taking to ensure that the settlement discussions are conducted at arm's length without risk of collusion. Trump's personal lawyers argued in Monday's filing
that the court did not have to
weigh in because they're voluntarily dismissing the case. And the administration never replied. The administration being the irs, never replied to the suit. We're going to tell you what the judge said with Adam Klassfeldt later in the show.
All right. Thanks, Allison. This is from abc. Members of the House Oversight Committee on Monday, they're set to interview a former prison guard who was on duty at the Metropolitan Corrections center in New York when convicted sex offender. Well done, by the way. ABC Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019.
Yeah.
And thanks for not saying died by suicide in 2019. Just he's a convicted sex offender and he died. That's what we know for sure.
Yes. Now. Well, because we're getting to that part. The interview of Tovin Noel, believed to be the last person that actually saw Epstein before his death. It comes amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein's death. Now, Epstein died by suicide, according to an autopsy conducted by the New York medical examiner. Though a series of missteps by prison officials have long fueled conspiracy theories about his death. Noel is alleged to have spent hours, hours ahead of Epstein's death scrolling the Internet instead of performing the required headcounts of the prisoners in the unit where the disgraced sex offender was housed. Prosecutors in 2019 actually charged Noel and another prison guard with falsifying records to make it seem as if they did the required checks, and both ended up reaching a deal with prosecutors to have the charges dropped. The recent release of the Epstein files by the Department of Justice has brought renewed attention to Noel's actions. And Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said she was called to testify because some lawmakers aren't confident 100% that Epstein's death was a suicide. Lawmakers highlighted that Noel received a series of cash deposits between April 2018 and July of 2019 totaling $12,000, with most taking place before Epstein was arrested. And the last deposit was made prior to Epstein's death. Documents released by the DOJ also show that Noel made a series of Internet searches about Epstein the night he died, including latest on Epstein in jail.
US totally all on the up and up, right?
Totally normal behavior.
They falsified the things they were charged and those charges were dropped.
CCTV camera was just the one that
happened to be broken.
She did a bunch of Internet searches, got $12,000 in cash, last payment. Read his death. Sure it's all normal.
All normal. While those documents have attracted public attention, investigators appear to have already probed those matters. Grand jury transcripts released from the case against Noel, released by the Department of Justice earlier this showed that the FBI examined her bank records and found no evidence of a bribe. She also told the DOJ Inspector general that she did not remember searching the Internet for Epstein, but may have read an article about him. Surveillance video from the jail also showed a flash of orange appearing near Epstein's cell the night he died. And a report by the Justice Department's inspector general concluded the video showed a corrections officer believed to be Noel carrying linen to the area near Epstein's cell.
Like linen?
Like what he hung himself with? Huh?
Uh-huh. Okay.
Right. In the sworn interview in 2021, Noel claimed she never gave out linen and denied providing Epstein with excess linen that may have been used to form a noose. So this will be interesting because I don't. Obviously this person is going to be, I'm assuming, testifying under oath or if you lie to Congress, it's a crime anyway. But who would pardon this person if they perjured themselves? It would be Donald Trump.
Goodness sakes.
Yep.
Well, thanks for that. I'm looking forward to seeing. Hopefully we get to see the video and transcript.
Yeah, me too.
Right.
All right.
From pbs. Some good news for a change. A Minnesota prosecutor on Monday announced charges against an ICE officer in the non fatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration's crackdown in Minnesota. The officer who we've talked about, Christian Castro, is charged with four counts of second degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime time in the January 14th shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa. Cese Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said this at a news conference. A warrant was issued for the ICE officer's arrest. And that pleases me. A federal officer shot Sosa Solis in the thigh after he and another officer chased a different man to the apartment duplex where the man and Sosa Solis lived. Moriarty said both Sosa Solis and the other man were were legally in the U.S. that's what the Hennepin County DA says. They're legally here. Federal authorities initially accused Sosa Solis and Alfredo Alejandro Alhorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a shovel. Remember this?
I do.
But a federal judge later dismissed those charges, and federal officials opened an investigation into whether the two immigration officers lied under oath about what happened. Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department officials didn't respond to emails seeking Comment. DHS previously said that lying under oath is a serious federal offense and that making false statements could result in an officer being fired or prosecuted. The city of Minneapolis last month released video of the incident captured from a distance by a city owned security camera. The administration sent thousands of officers, as we know, to Minneapolis and St. Paul as part of Trump's national deportation campaign. DHS, which oversees ICE, called it Operation Metro Surge and it was its largest immigration enforcement operation ever and they deemed it a success. But tensions mounted obviously during the weeks long campaign after the shooting deaths, the murders of US Citizens Renee Goode and Alex Preddy by federal officers which provoked mass unrest and I would say peaceful protests and questions about officers conduct. Hennepin county, which includes Minneapolis has been conducting investigations into multiple incidents. I think 17 incidents. And they did file charges last month against an ICE agent for on duty road rage. Remember we talked about that.
So this is the second officer indicted by Hennepin county. Second ICE officer, but the first indictment of an officer doing their job as part of Operation Metro search. Minnesota leaders in the Trump administration have since clashed over who has the authority to investigate and prosecute the officers. The Trump administration has suggested Minnesota officials don't have jurisdiction. State officials have said they don't trust the federal government to investigate itself or hold others accountable. Hennepin county continues to investigate Good and Preddy's killings and sued the administration in March over access to the evidence in the two cases as well as in the case against Sosa Solis. Although Moriarty hasn't charged anyone in either killing. The one, the pretty and good killing. She says she's confident her office's investigations will bring transparency, even if not criminal prosecution. Which makes me sad. It sounds like she is thinking she might not have enough to charge the officers in those killings and it might have to do with the fact that the Department of Justice and DHS refuses to hand over evidence in those cases.
Oh, 100%. 100%. All right. This story's from NPR. A AH jury in California took less than two hours to decide that Elon Musk. Musk waited too long to file a lawsuit against his one time business partner Sam Altman over the direction that he steered the artificial intelligence company OpenAI since the two had a falling out nearly a decade ago. In a unanimous decision, the nine member advisory jury said Musk was beyond the statute of limitations when he launched his case in 2024. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the U.S. district Court of the Northern District of California agreed. Toss the case out and I Quote, I've always said I would accept the jury's verdict. That's what Gonzalez Rogers said after issuing her decision said I think there's a substantial amount of evidence to support the jury's finding. A decision brings a swift end to a three week trial that laid bare the fears and ambitions that led two of Silicon Valley's biggest asshole. I'm sorry biggest personalities. Maybe only one of them is an asshole biggest personalities to team up 11 years ago to launch open AI the maker of chat GPT and then to part ways after dispute over how to run it in determining that suit. I have a feeling one of them's not an and the other one is in determining that suit was filed too late. The jury sidestepped questions at the heart of Musk's case accusing Altman and co founder Greg Brockman of committing and I quote, a breach of charitable trust by allegedly jettisoning and open AI's founding mission and then profiting from the decision claims they dispute in court.
All right.
I don't know.
I good that they wasted their money,
both of them on on this lawsuit. I guess that's all I can think.
I do like days when, you know, Elon Musk doesn't win though. So those are good days.
Yeah, I concur. All right everybody. Up next, Adam Klassfeld's interview. We it was in the middle of that interview I asked him what he thought the judge would do and as he was saying what he thought the judge might do, the judge did something and we were able to cover it live breaking and you'll hear that interview right after this, followed by the good news. Stick around.
We'll be right back after these messages. We'll be right back.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Breakdown.
I'm Alison Gill. and joining me today is, Adam Klasveld of All Rise News. We're going to Discuss the, DOJ, setting up a $1.776 billion, ah, slush fund, paid for by the
treasury, paid for by our taxpayer dollars
for Donald Trump and five of his personally appointed Commission of Truth and Justice. people who, answer to only him can't be reviewed. No oversight, no transparency can be fired, for no cause by the president, to pay out $1.7 billion to people like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys and Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesbrough, Sidney Powell, you name it, anybody who helped him coup, in the past, maybe even people who were, indicted in the, Russia stuff, in the first, administration. although that was Trump's DOJ and not, you know, or at least Robert Mueller and not necessarily Biden's Department of Justice, because this is an anti weaponization fund. but what it is is it's
reparations for white supremacists.
Anybody who, was a criminal co conspirator or helped him with, his attempt to disrupt, the peaceful transfer of power after Joe Biden won in 2020. And, I wanted to talk to you about this because there's some legal aspects going on here. We know that the judge in this case, I think he was hoping to get Eileen Cannon, but he got Judge Williams instead in the Southern District of Florida. She's an Obama appointee. And she was like, this is sketch, that, you know, you're suing yourself, you're in charge of both sides of this lawsuit. And so she asked some outside lawyers, including John Gleason, and others Faith, gay. And, some, you know, I think there were about five or six lawyers to chime in and file an amicus brief, and they did, and they agreed. This is, this is sus. This is weird. You can't be on both sides of a lawsuit. And they encouraged Judge Williams to bring everybody in to do some fact finding in this case to find out whether Donald Trump was colluding with the IRS and the Department of Justice on both sides of this lawsuit, to get this done. and just this morning, about 10 minutes before the Department of Justice established the fund, Donald Trump unilaterally dismissed or dropped the lawsuit, saying it doesn't even need judicial review because the IRS never answered. Probably because he told the IRS not to. And so that kind of, doesn't that sort of render the entire lawsuit, the original lawsuit, against the IRS as moot? I mean, how can you have a settlement in a lawsuit that doesn't exist anymore?
One of the things that I noticed immediately in that, notice of withdrawal, of dropping the case, essentially, is that there was no reference to this settlement. And to latch onto it. Another pretty disgusting detail of this settlement you mentioned. It's a 17 point, seven, excuse me, a 1.77 billion. And that's the decimal point where you stop. I want to make clear a 1.776. They're draping this in patriotism. They're draping this in the American Revolution. It's $1,776,000,000 of your tax money is going to be used to compensate this. as I'm reading this, what appears to be entirely unaccountable slush fund, the parameters released by the Justice Department are as follows. There is a five person panel. The five person panel is selected entirely by Todd Blanche. As you noted, Alison, any one of the members of these panels can be, could be fired by Trump for any reason or no reason whatsoever. you have one of the five members of the panels are going to be selected in consultation with congressional leaders, whatever that means. And.
Oh, that's probably the insurrectionists in Congress, correct?
Correct. Well, you. And then you have in, as you pointed out, this, notice of voluntary dismissal. There is no reference to the settlement, and that sort of gives away the game here. They don't want this in front of the judge. The judge, Judge Williams, was asking too many questions about whether a case and controversy actually exists here. Because if this is a collusive lawsuit, as 93 members of Congress argued in an amicus brief this morning, then there is no case or controversy. There cannot be a settlement of a case or controversy. So I don't think this is the end right now of what we see of it. We will see whether the judge agrees that simply filing this notice divested her of jurisdiction and that the Trump Justice Department can create a Rube Goldberg machine for the compensation of Trump's allies and January 6th rioters, paying them for their services on January 6th and trying to keep him in power illegally with bounties. folks need to remember that January 6th rioters filed a class action lawsuits, earlier this year. And that class action lawsuit had noted some of the people who are seeking compensation were proud boys. There were people who bear sprayed Capitol Police officers, who assaulted Capitol Police officers with other weapons. and those are some of the people who are seeking compensation and will almost certainly seek compensation from this fund. as I read the Justice Department's press materials on this, there's no real avenue for any sort of transparency on who's going to collect this money. Let's say they go to this five Todd Blanche appointee panel and collect some money from it. Do we, the public, know about it? what I'm reading directly from the press release here, on a quarterly basis, the fund shall send a report to the Attorney General outlining who has received relief and what form of relief was awarded. Will the Attorney General release that report to the public? You know, he receives it on a quarterly basis. Does the Justice Department treat that report as a secret? This doesn't say. It goes on at the Attorney General's direction. The fund can be audited. So if Blanche decides there's needs to be an audit, he can order it. And so it all depends. It's all an instrument of Todd Blanche. they cite one precedent, in kind of saying that there is any sort of thing in US History that you can latch onto, and it's the Keeps Eagle settlement. And it's nothing close to anything that, it's not even the same universe as this. That settlement that they cite was for discrimination against Native Americans and it was court supervised. They are explicitly here seeking a unaccountable $1.776 billion slush fund that has no publicly known mechanisms of accountability here. There's, outside all of the, legal analysis and dissection of this deal, there's stuff that in here that's just so self evidently, corrupt and outrageous that it almost beggars analysis.
Yeah.
And you know what's interesting? You bring up that, no transparency on the settlement amounts. I mean, I'm sure we'll hear from some loudmouth Nazis who get money. But, you know, aside from that, I don't think we'll hear anything from Todd Blanche. But this is something that John Gleason brought up in his amicus brief or in that brief from the amici, those several lawyers when the judge was like, this is weird. Lawyers weigh in on jurisdiction here. And one of the things he said is it might be helpful if the court asked whether DOJ is going to follow the rules of settlements if they reach a settlement. And one of those rules is you can't, your settlement has to be transparent. You can't settle under seal in something like this. In a government type settlement situation, you can't, hide the conditions. Like is one of the conditions that you drop the audit of Trump's tax returns. You can't keep it secret. There can be no NDA as far as these kinds of settlements go. It's not like a private thing where I sue somebody else, a friend, and we come to a settlement and we have a non disclosure about that settlement. We can do that. The government can't do that. That, and that was brought up by one of these lawyers advising that the case be dismissed, for lack of jurisdiction. And knowing that Trump knowing that any settlement reached would have to be transparent and knowing, that any settlement would have to probably be approved by the judge and that she was about to enter into probably, taking the advice of John Gleason et al, a fact finding, you know, inquiry as to, were you negotiating at arm's length or were you colluding? Did you tell the IRS not to file an answer or not? So can you tell me real quick because you, you mentioned, that you don't think it might be over. Under what authority could the judge say you can't unilaterally dismiss this case because the Rule 41, you know, whatever AGB something, says that he can, he can Actually, unilaterally drop this case because the IRS never answered. And I went looking for case law where this is unprecedented, obviously, and John Gleason brought that up in his, amicus brief. but I couldn't find anything showing that a judge stopped someone from unilaterally dismissing something for improper reasons. So do you think that she might novelly come and say, sorry, you can't just drop this now? I don't know what authority she has, because she would be bringing it back to dismiss it properly. You know what I mean? So I don't know. What do you think about that?
So, earlier this morning, I was speaking to former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, and he was one of the authors of the legal brief signed by 93 members of. Of Congress who are fighting this. And one of the points that he made is if there was no case or controversy to begin with, there cannot be, you know, the. The settlement that is born out of that, lawsuit is invalid. And this was an issue on which she had set. The judge had set briefing. There had meant to be an argument date, and that would be the basis to attack this going forward in the courts. Now, I'm not saying that she, the judge will make any particular ruling on jurisdiction, but that remains a live issue. And to take a step back and to pull the camera lens into a widened aperture here. This $1.776 billion settlement is supposedly coming in the context of Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS about the leak of his taxes in 2019. As we all remember, in 2019, the President of the United States was Donald J. Trump, and he is claiming so that settling this lawsuit and the actual press release uses the words, in exchange for dropping this lawsuit, they will establish this fund. Now, what's the connection between Trump supposedly being damaged by the leak of his tax records, which every president before him had, released least openly and without personal damage, let alone $10 billion of damage. And January 6 rioters collecting a major payday, that this is all happening in the context of Trump's claims that he was damaged by the leak of his tax records in 2019, which justifies paying off any crony, any January 6th insurrectionists, going forward through this slush fund that hides the hands of the people who are doling out the amounts that suffers from, any kind of transparency or accountability mechanism that would be associated with it. You know, I mentioned a little earlier, it's like a Rube Goldberg machine, but the machine serves a purpose. You Have a five person panel that is entirely controlled by Todd Blanche and Trump himself, with a nod to congressional oversight, with one of the five members in a thing that has a good PR sound to it, but in all practicality is a joke. That person can be removed. so that's what I expect to happen here. I expect the judge to really grapple with. If there's no case or controversy, can they be allowed to institute this unrelated settlement for non parties that are undefined, except under this weaponization banner? And is this also an end run to the Constitution's appointment, the appropriations clause? Excuse me? If appropriations can be solved with the federal government suing an agency and then setting aside an enormous pool of cash for some unrelated administration objective, then what is Congress's work in appropriating anything? You can just solve it with this, by suing the government and settling it and trying to keep the courts at arm's length by making sure that the government under your control, settles it before any particular motion is filed. So there, there seems to be, a very obvious, ah, game going on here.
Right, Right.
Adam, I think I have your answer. as you were answering, the judge filed this on docket order closing case matter before the court on plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice. In the notice, the plaintiffs state they're voluntarily dismissing the instant litigation with prejudice. Pursu 41A 1AI.
That's what I was talking about.
Because the dismissal with prejudice extinguishes the claims regarding the unlawful disclosure of the plaintiff's tax returns, the court cancels all deadlines, including the date that the parties were required to submit briefing as to whether an actual case or controversy existed in this matter. it goes on to say when both led against, blah, blah, blah, any dispute. She cites all this case law saying that there's no, controversy here. The court finds that the plaintiffs do not, do in fact control the, defendant and that no case or controversy exists. Case law. Case law. Case law. Because this notice does not reference any settlement or include a stipulation of settlement. There is no settlement of record.
So she. So you are reading from a jest file document that I haven't seen. Are you saying that she. And so this is. We're breaking news on live air right now. So is she saying that the settlement isn't valid and cannot be. It's not entered in connection.
There is no settlement of record. She says. Additionally, defendants, federal agencies represented by the doj, which has an independent obligation to uphold the public's strong interest in knowing about the conduct of its government and expenditure of its resources and the fair administration of justice. Neither submitted any settlement documents nor filed any documents ensuring that the settlement was appropriate where there was an outstanding question as to whether an actual case or controversy existed. Accordingly, upon review of the notice, it is ordered and adjudged that this action is dismissed with prejudice. Each party is to bear its own attorney's fees and costs. All deadlines are canceled. All pending motions are denied as moot. This case is closed. But she has said on the record, because the notice does not reference a settlement, there is no settlement of records. So she's basically taking this opportunity to dismiss the case, I think, as, she has to under Rule 41, et cetera, et cetera, because IRS never answered, this lawsuit. But she is taking the time to say that because the notice does not reference any settlement or include a stipulation of a settlement, there is no settlement of record.
Well, we will see what the aftershocks of that ruling, are. And I think that's. It's a very interesting. And it does point out something that is a clear fact. When Trump's justice, department filed their notice of dismissal this morning, they made no reference to a settlement. There is nothing in the court record of this case that is now closed that would justify that sort of settlement settlement. So, we will see if they try to find some other legal mechanism to go ahead with this 1.776 billion dollar slush fund, but it's not through the prism of this case. And thank you for breaking that on air, Allison.
Yeah, no problem. I've just, you know, every once in a while as I'm talking to somebody about what's going on on a docket, I like to go to the docket and refresh it, to see what's going on. but she has completely closed the case, but not without saying, this is not a settlement. as I said earlier online, as I said in other videos, I need the corporate media to stop calling this $1.7 billion slush fund a settlement. It is not. There is no settlement of record. And the judge has just put that on the docket.
And it's really, you know, the language that folks use is important in calling this a settlement when you have, you have settlements when you have adversarial parties. And the entire point, and one of her findings of record here is that there were no opposing parties here. There was the Trump Justice Department, that outwardly calls itself the Trump Justice Department, which is an unprecedented thing in and of itself. The Biden Justice Department did not call it that. The Trump 1.0 Justice Department was not shameless enough to call itself the Trump Justice Department at this, at that time. So you're absolutely correct, Allison. It's not a settlement. it was an. An announcement to create a giant fund to pay out Trump's allies. And now, the attempt to connect it to a deal resolving this case looks like it was completely upended.
Yeah. All right, man. Wow. Interesting that that broke as you were answering my question about what the judge might do next. she does something next. I'm very glad she went on the record that this isn't a settlement. I, hope media stops reporting it as a settlement. This is nothing of the sort. The case basically didn't exist in the first place. All this is is the Trump administration colluding with the IRS and the Department of Justice to steal $1.776 billion of our taxpayer money, money to pay his criminal co conspirators for the attempted coup on January 6th.
So I do want to just add one point, because I see something in the live chat. Someone, who has been closely following this points out that there was an allusion to a settlement agreement in something that looked like an official record. It was under Office of the Attorney General letterhead today. and it says the settlement agreement in Trump vs. Internal Revenue Service case number has created the anti weaponization fund. The interesting thing to, the person in the chat, that document was never in the court record. There is an allusion to a settlement agreement, but it's not in the court document in the case that it's supposedly tied to. And that's what looks like it has upended the whole thing. Is it sloppy lawyering, or did they just try so hard to avoid judicial oversight that they avoided judicial legitimacy and just torpedoed their entire case?
Yeah, man. All right, well, now, we have to make sure that everybody knows there's no settlement and that everyone should treat the $1.7 billion fund as though it were just created out of whole cloth with no legal coverage, no judicial coverage, because that's all this lawsuit was. It was so that Donald Trump could say the court said, did a settlement, it's court approved.
Or what the judge say?
No, no, it wasn't. I didn't approve this, bro. this has nothing to do, with that $10 billion lawsuit. And I hope it gets that kind of coverage. I know it will on All Rise News and on the breakdown and the daily beans and everything that you and I do. I appreciate your time today. and, you know, I. I really just want to say thank you because I know that having to put aside from reporting on this, and having to get this news out there, this is extremely frustrating. as an American citizen who pays taxes, everybody who's listening to this, when you pay your taxes, you are now helping to pay the Oath Keepers and the proud boys and Rudy Giuliani for everything that they did to try to overturn the 2020 election. So not only did Donald Trump pardon everybody and dismiss all of the things, and have the cases against him dismissed, he's now gonna make everybody a millionaire. and there's enough in that fund to make every single pardoned insurrection as the millionaire.
So thank you for this.
I know it's frustrating. I know we have to try to report this with a news face, but I'm gonna probably, take an edible and try to just go to sleep and forget about this for a while later on tonight. Cause I know how frustrating it is. But thank you so much, everybody. Make sure you subscrib. Subscribe to All Rise News. It helps. It's totally free. We don't have any paywalls here.

First up is your good trouble and the good trouble comes from listener Anonymous she her in Utah. Dear Beans Queens, thanks for all you do. Every day I'm in Utah fine tuning my protest sign making craft. I just wrote a bunch of drafts but there's too much going on. I'm an MST SCDV and I think of the stress. You must have also aged. Getting out to the protest was very hard for me, but made me feel like I did something. Next protest here. Opposing the Death Star Stratos Data center is by Indivisible and it's Saturday, May 23rd at the Utah State Capitol at 11:00am we'll have a link to dump data centers Indivisible in the show notes if people like me can get there, hopefully more people will get active and march and sing against all of this. Waves are bs. The Concentration camp warehouse here at SLC has regular protest too. Wednesdays at 7pm at the warehouse, Fridays at 4pm at ICE headquarters, and Saturdays at 6pm at the warehouse. I didn't think I'd spend my retirement with a full calendar of protests. Writing and calling my PPT Pod Pet tax is a photo of m my chickens. Because I don't have goats, I couldn't figure out how to upload an image. It was too big and it was triggering m me. So I hope you understand. There are Rhode Island Reds. They're very opinionated and bossy, but I love watching them and talking to them one Mr. Roo and three girls. By the way, your PPT didn't come through but we can imagine the chickens here. is a Rhode island red so we've included a photo of what a Rhode island red looks like.
Nice.
Sorry they were too big to upload. Sorry that was causing you a little bit of stress and Anonymous that's such a good trouble submission and I just want to tell everybody you know I have complex PTSD anxiety. I hate crowds. So Dana, what I do when I go to a protest is I map out the route. I pick small businesses along the way that I can duck into and maybe grab a cup of coffee or a smoothie.
Smart.
Just to get out of the crowd. I also have a lot of exit routes where I can leave the protest and walk down more a more quiet street to grab an Uber out of there. And I found that planning for those things helps mitigate stress because I know there's a way out and so I generally can stay through the whole thing. I've done a whole video on protesting with anxiety over on my substack. You can look for it there for some helpful tips and tricks to be able to go out and be among large crowds of people when it's really tough for you.
Great advice Ag. This is some more good trouble from Jen Pronouns she and her hey Ag and dg. I wanted to share some good news and some good trouble from down here in Louisiana. The good news in our election this past weekend the Democratic frontrunner farmer Jamie Davis only received about 16,000 fewer votes votes statewide than MAGA darling Julia Letlow. This was even with reports in some parishes that no party voters were incorrectly being told that they couldn't vote the Democratic ballot in our new closed party primary system. And this was with pretty much entirely grassroots funding. Additionally, all five Jeff Clandry backed amendments were handedly defeated, some by 3 to 1 margin him. This makes his track record 0n for amendments he's tried to pass through. I'm a poll worker for my precinct and turnout on Saturday was near that of the presidential election. People are fired up. On top of all of that there have been lines stretching down streets at sites throughout the state of people waiting to sign the petition to recall Jeff Landry. The recalls are being led by two women out of Baton Rouge. It's been an entirely grassroots community driven effort. So if you are Louisiana go to Louisiana deserves better.com to find a petition site near you. You'll need a ballot ID and voter registration. Use the Go Vote app Which is G E a U X go vote app. And we'll have a link to that in the show notes. If you're outside Louisiana but want to support the effort, the website has links for that as well. For podpet tariff, our crew pierogi. we'll find out. We've got Mac. We'll also find out. And Bernard, which seems to be a longer breed, doing the care bear stare as well as of the pierogi. On one of his therapy dog visits.
A pero is clearly a golden retriever, right?
Yeah, I would think so. Looks like we have a brown.
Looks like a choco lab, but has a short tail. So some sort of pointer. I'm not sure. Yeah, and the other guy looks like a healer. Like a short haired Aussie with.
But also with a rottweiler.
Right. interesting. Let's see. All right. Pierogi, golden retro.
Okay.
Mac.
German short hair. Okay.
Oh, point. Isn't that a pointer? No. Okay.

Look at that.
Yeah, I recognize the rottweiler booty. And that face, that big old head.
We got four out of five.
We rock.
Holy majoli. That's it. We can fold. We can. We can fold. That's it. All right. Next up from Barb.
Pronoun.
She and her. Look at this photo. hello, queens of the laguminati. Here's a big shout out to Dana. I attended the HRC gala on Saturday. It was an awesome event and Dana was amazing. As I write this, I'm still laughing after attending her comedy show tonight. Dana, you're so very funny. Your jokes totally rock and you dominated the room. And what a delight to meet Vee from under the desk news. I brought my three daughters with me and we were all blown away. Since I was not able to get priority seating tickets, I was not able to meet Dana in person. So instead I took this picture. Picture quote with Dana in the lobby for my pod pet tariff. Look at that, Barb.
This is awesome. And reading this, my heart hurts that the way the tickets are set up with priority seating, those are the only people that I do a meet and greet with. It's just the way comedy shows are set up. Unfortunately, when you're trying to sell a club and I just. I hate it. I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet you and your three daughters. Thank you so much for coming to the show. I had so much fun on that stage with you. So I. I love that you were at the HRC gala as well. And I'm just sending you my love and hopefully just. Just stay. If there's ever. If you ever miss priority tickets again at Comedy at the Carlson, just stay and just pretend like you have them. I'm not going to question. I guess everyone listening now will do the same thing, but that's okay.
Oh well, there we go.
Thank you, Barb. All right, this is from jt. Pronouns he and him. I want to give a shout out to my husband B. Last year the college where he was a professor unexpectedly closed and left all the employees and students in the learning church. Since then he's been working his ass off at multiple jobs while looking for local full time work in academia, which is awfully hard to find here in rural South. We can't move because he's also a full time caregiver to his brother and is helping me care for my parents. He is the kindest, most loving person and deserves to be recognized for everything he does. We got to babysit a friend's toddler the other night and my pet tax today is our cat Angie Government named Angela Lansbury.
Cat cat.
Being skeptical about this tiny human who appeared utterly incapable of providing with the treats. Sorry dg, no baby pics since that's not our baby to share. But rest assured he's adorable.
M Look at the baby.
I know, super cute.
The baby kitty.
We can't see the other baby and that's totally fine.
I know we say send in your baby pics. We totally understand if you don't want to share photos of your baby baby child on the Internet. It's totally fine. Amazing. All right, next up from Arcane pronoun she and her shout out to no Detention Centers, Michigan. You can find them at nodetention centersmi.org and everyone who's been showing up in solidarity at rallies to make noise at the North Lake Processing center in Baldwin, Michigan. North Lake run by Geo Group. Geo Group is the largest immigration detention center in the Midwest and detainees have been on hunger strike and work strikes for more than 50 days to protest conditions inside the camp. Groups have been consistently showing up to make noise at the side gate and where we know those inside can hear us and see us. For my podpet tariff, I've attached a bird watching photo outside of North Lake as well as a photo of my orange boy who is absolutely over it all. So here's a great bird watching photo of Arcane flipping the bird to the detention center and an orange baby cat look at the orange. Is it an orange boy? Orange boy.
Look at this.
That they're so funny. They're such clowns. Thank you so much everybody. Check out no detention centersmi.org I know
we've had this before. Is it Tada?
I'm not sure. Tada or tada?
Tada.
Tata.
I'm not sure.
All right, well let us know maybe with a little bit of phonetics on there would be great. But otherwise it's Tada. Pronoun. She and her Hi Ag and dg. I've been listening to the daily beans for a little while and it's been great. I live in a very red pro Cheeto state, so listening to you too is like listening to a couple of cool progressive aunties. I'll take it. I wanted to give a shout out to my son's teachers. My 4 year old is in special education pre K. Earlier this year he was diagnosed autistic. He has a lot of overall developmental delays. His teachers are some of the most patient and sweet people I've ever met. They love my boy and do they and do all they can to support his learning journey. Attached to my submission are pictures of Madagos. There's Kyle, nicknamed Ky Guy, who we think is a blank. We got Joe, who we think is a. A blank. And Petey. Oh my gosh. Okay, so Kai Guy. We don't know who's who. And there's only. Oh, there's the third dog. Okay, definitely that. There's got to be wiener dog in that.

Slavic village in Cleveland, Ohio beat a, ah, hyperscale $1.6 billion data center that was going to Be built. Congratulations.

All right, next up from Jill Pronoun. She and her hello AG and dg. You've mentioned that you enjoy, enjoy a nice, chunky baby pick. So I wanted to share these side by side of my 14 year old daughter then and now. She's grown from a smiling chunker into a lean, mean the system queen. And I couldn't be prouder.
I love it.
I know. Despite all the cards stacked against them in this fascist hellscape, the kids are all right. Also attached is my pod pet tariff. Lady Frances Kensington, AKA Franny, enjoying some spring sunshine. Shine P. S. Dana, I just saw the pic on the website of you with your curls out and my God, your hair is gorgeous. Thank you, Jill.

And the kitty. Hello kitty. Very cute.
Cool kitty and cool kid, everybody.
Thank you so very much for sending all this in. Please, please overwhelm us with your good news. a million little bits of tiny good news equal, like, massive amounts of awesomeness. So send it all to us dailybeanspod.com and click on contact. Really appreciate, everybody sending in their stuff. And Dana, I have to tell you, something weird seems to be happening. I had that interview with Adam Klassfeld, and I told everyone about the fact that during our conversation, the judge posted a decision to close the case and to say that there's no settlement here on the docket. I've just gone to go back to the docket and it's gone now. I don't know if there's a glitch. My link to it that I posted on Blue sky still works. It still takes you to the document, but it's not listed on the docket anymore. And I think that that's pretty weird. So hopefully it's just a pacer glitch and, not something, nefarious weird where she's changing her mind. Unless she's changing her mind to be awesome.
I mean, there's that. Yeah. I mean, who knows? I mean, maybe they, he. They did something to violate something in the case and she's like, let me walk this back.
Right. Well, generally you leave it up and
then you amend it.
Right. But, ah, probably just a glitch. Anyway, thank you all so much. We'll see you over on Beans Talk. We'll be back in your ears tomorrow. Until then, please take care of yourselves, take care of each other, take care of the planet, take care of your mental health, and take care of your family. I've been ag.
I've been bendigi.
