Speaker 1: at a time. That j Weber Podcast is a production
Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio Podcasts.
Speaker 2: Well J Webber Podcast. We'll talk about how President Trump
Speaker 2: is the first president in US history, first in history
Speaker 2: to have a truly secure Southern War, and how the
Speaker 2: Democrats who cheered Biden's flood of illegals are now pretending
Speaker 2: it was an unintentional mistake. You're going to try to
Speaker 2: save face on that. I want to talk about Cammi's brainstorming.
Speaker 2: The Democrats have decided that they need to destroy democracy
Speaker 2: in order to save it. I have more stories of
Speaker 2: newly uncovered and major fraud in their federal programs, and
Speaker 2: it might be the ultimate test of Trump's power for
Speaker 2: the party today. Can he shove the perpetually impossible Thomas
Speaker 2: Massey out of his house seat in Kentucky. That's all ahead,
Speaker 2: But first I want producer Gregory John to talk about
Speaker 2: the really important stuff with me. Greg you grew up
Speaker 2: in the up I grew up in South YEP. I
Speaker 2: grew up in southeastern Wisconsin. We're both rough the same age.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you and your group of friends,
Speaker 2: but as sad as it is to see the brewing
Speaker 2: of Schlitz beer come to an end after one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy five years, I can't say that we ever
Speaker 2: drank it among my circle of friends, did you?
Speaker 3: We didn't. Up there, it was it was more of
Speaker 3: a Papst kind of thing. Stros. We drank Stros, and
Speaker 3: we drank Schmidt beer out of Minnesota. Do you remember
Speaker 3: Schmidt beer?
Speaker 2: You remember Schmidt beer? Yes, Stros, wasn't that a Colorado product?
Speaker 3: Actually? Stros, I think Stros came from was a Detroit beer, wasn't.
Speaker 2: But what was to go to beer up there in
Speaker 2: Hurley in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you'd go for the cheap stuff, the Hams.
Speaker 3: You know, Hams was always good.
Speaker 2: It was mostly I think Miller down here or whatever
Speaker 2: was cheapest, old Milwaukee old style Hams. Those I think
Speaker 2: were the three. But mostly if you know, in high
Speaker 2: school it was cheapest. Obviously in college it was the
Speaker 2: think thing, mostly Miller high life. I'm almost embarrassed to
Speaker 2: admit that as a lifelong Wisconsinate I've probably over only
Speaker 2: ever had ten Schlitz beers in my entire life.
Speaker 3: Now, it was like about ten years ago they brought
Speaker 3: back the nineteen sixties formula. I can't remember. It was
Speaker 3: some company out of Chicago that actually brewed it, and
Speaker 3: it was a big thing, and I got a couple
Speaker 3: of six packs of it. It tasted fine. But other
Speaker 3: than that, no, I never really was a Schlitz kind
Speaker 3: of guy.
Speaker 2: But we're still losing all of that history. You have
Speaker 2: a jingle there right, that's a prototypical Schlitz jingle. I
Speaker 2: remember Hams was the beer refreshing Hams, the beer refreshing Hams.
Speaker 2: I remember that. I remember the Schlitz jingles.
Speaker 3: Though, Well, it's so great about Schlitz. And I used
Speaker 3: to work you know, remember Tom Collins, he used to
Speaker 3: be actually be He was a sportscaster for Marquette. He
Speaker 3: was the brewers before even Yuker, and he worked with
Speaker 3: me at Wok. Why but before all that he was
Speaker 3: working for Schlitz. And he would tell me stories about it.
Speaker 3: Back in the day. In Schlitz, you know, the workers
Speaker 3: actually could drink on the job, so at their lunch breaks,
Speaker 3: they they would get hammered.
Speaker 2: All those reasons they could take home short fills, and
Speaker 2: they could take home a certain number of cases every month.
Speaker 2: There was pretty I had a neighbor who worked for Miller,
Speaker 2: and his whole garage was just filled with Miller cans
Speaker 2: and bottles full stuff. This was just what he got
Speaker 2: to bring home over the years. It was really something.
Speaker 3: I remember now. Schlitz. It's the beer that made Milwaukee famous.
Speaker 1: Slitz, dear disaster out of beer Schlitz.
Speaker 2: There we go, remember, I do remember that. And this,
Speaker 2: of course is a double edged sword when it comes
Speaker 2: to things like this, historical places or products that some
Speaker 2: people want to step in and the save from sliding
Speaker 2: into history. Well, if more people had been drinking Schlitz
Speaker 2: all along, it wouldn't need to be discontinued right there,
Speaker 2: It wouldn't need saving. But yeah, who's going to start
Speaker 2: drinking it to save it? Is the thing? You know
Speaker 2: what I mean? It's it's it's sad to see one
Speaker 2: of the big three beers that built Wisconsin and built
Speaker 2: Milwaukee officially slide into history, because by my recollection, it
Speaker 2: was Miller, Paps and Schlitz that really made Milwaukee famous
Speaker 2: for beer. Sad to see one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 2: years of history, and like this for Schlitz, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to drink it in order to save it.
Speaker 3: No, it's funny too because Paps actually was the one
Speaker 3: that was brewing Schlitz beer for the last fifteen years anyway,
Speaker 3: so it was really just the name.
Speaker 2: Yep. So listen to this transition, Greg, I'm not really
Speaker 2: going to drink Schlitz in order to save it. I
Speaker 2: am enjoying an early retirement though, thanks Creative Planning.
Speaker 3: I like that. That's really good.

Speaker 2: Whether Thomas Massey survives or whether President Trump gets another
Speaker 2: political scalp today is an interesting question, and I'll get
Speaker 2: to that in a minute, But first, I love to
Speaker 2: see Ken Griffin ghosting New York Mayor Zorn mom Donni
Speaker 2: just refusing to meet with him. I don't know if
Speaker 2: anything has changed this morning, but as of Monday, the
Speaker 2: word was out that Mom Donnie, after doing that damaging
Speaker 2: video vilifying Griffin and all other billionaires who are creating
Speaker 2: most of the jobs in New York, is now trying
Speaker 2: to smooth things over. The Mayor's people claim that Zorn
Speaker 2: has been trying to schedule a private sit down with
Speaker 2: Ken Griffin because Griffin's reaction was perfect. It was just
Speaker 2: perfect to the socialist attack on capitalism and prosperity. Griffin said, basically,
Speaker 2: if New York doesn't want Citadel and all of the jobs,
Speaker 2: success and prosperity that comes with it, we'll just add
Speaker 2: more jobs in Miami. After all, Griffin moved his Citadel
Speaker 2: headquarters out of Chicago due to high taxes and billionaire
Speaker 2: abuse in that state. Why not leave New York too
Speaker 2: if you and your company aren't appreciated there. And so
Speaker 2: Griffin reacted to Mom Donnie's attack by promising to move
Speaker 2: even more of Citadel's jobs to Miami and threatened to
Speaker 2: stop an expansion on Park Avenue that's in the works
Speaker 2: in New York, and every important CEO and business leader
Speaker 2: who today's socialists are attacking and trashing should do the
Speaker 2: same thing. We are well beyond the time in which
Speaker 2: America's producers, entrepreneurs, risk takers, job creators should sit silently
Speaker 2: or feel the need to be diplomatic when they and
Speaker 2: their companies are attacked. I want all billionaires and business
Speaker 2: leaders to react to this growing socialist bull crap the
Speaker 2: way that Ken Griffin did. It had nearly every other
Speaker 2: Democrat leader in New York State, including Kathy Hochal and
Speaker 2: former Mayor Eric Adams, calling on Mayor Mondannie to stop
Speaker 2: his billionaire bullying and end this nonsense. The rest of
Speaker 2: them all have a socialist streak in them two, but
Speaker 2: they at least know how stupid it is to attack
Speaker 2: New York's job creators and big taxpayers. They know that
Speaker 2: it's a combination of the corporate taxes on those businesses,
Speaker 2: as well as the high personal income and property taxes
Speaker 2: that these billionaires and their workers are paying that are
Speaker 2: what's funding a huge chunk of New York State and
Speaker 2: New York City's budgets, And so a few weeks later,
Speaker 2: now there's already a worry in the New York business
Speaker 2: community that Mom Donni's at actions in Griffin's reaction have
Speaker 2: already fostered a sort of quiet quitting among some other
Speaker 2: important New York and Manhattan companies, with these New York
Speaker 2: business leaders and Democrat politicians pushing Mam Donnie to do
Speaker 2: something quick to make it right with Citadel and Griffin.
Speaker 2: So far, Griffin has refused to even schedule a meeting
Speaker 2: with this arrogant little socialist ahole, and I say, good,
Speaker 2: let Mom Donnie sweat. I assume that the too will
Speaker 2: meet at some point. But as of yesterday, Griffin's people
Speaker 2: said Ken still isn't feeling a great need to meet
Speaker 2: with Mom Donnie. Not until he's ready to have adult,
Speaker 2: serious conversations that can grow the city's economy and create
Speaker 2: more opportunity for New Yorkers, is how they put it,
Speaker 2: speaking of making people sweat. Next topic, squishy Republican Louisiana
Speaker 2: Senator Bill Cassidy losing in a primary race, whow not
Speaker 2: only is a sitting senator being run out of office
Speaker 2: here by his constituents in Louisiana, but he lost in
Speaker 2: the first round of the voting. Bill Cassidy didn't even
Speaker 2: win a primary race for his party's nomination. This after
Speaker 2: serving in Congress for decades, Cassidy was the definition of
Speaker 2: a senator with a lifetime congressional seat if he wanted it,
Speaker 2: or at least he thought so. As you know by now,
Speaker 2: what changed is that Cassidy arrogantly bucked President Trump, and
Speaker 2: Trump targeted him for removal as a result. And as
Speaker 2: I posted on x, most Americans have no idea how
Speaker 2: powerful incumbency really is in the US Senate. If you
Speaker 2: can manage to win a seat in the US Senate,
Speaker 2: the reality of this modern era of politics is you
Speaker 2: will have it until you either don't want it anymore
Speaker 2: or you retire or die. There's so much money and
Speaker 2: influence and power in control that come with the US
Speaker 2: Senate seat, no average challenger can compete the competition. The
Speaker 2: field of competition when you run for reelection is so
Speaker 2: tilted and slanted in your favor you really can't lose
Speaker 2: your seat. Sitting senators will start an election season with three, five, ten,
Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars in their war chest, and any
Speaker 2: challenger is normally starting from zero trying to put together
Speaker 2: a campaign, fundraise, scrap some money together. The sitting senator
Speaker 2: will have all sorts of special interest groups and K
Speaker 2: Street lobbyists and powerful friends and donors backing them so
Speaker 2: they can pound on and pound on and pound on
Speaker 2: any potential challenger. This is what Bill Cassidy did in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: By the way, he had a huge cast advantage and
Speaker 2: spent millions of dollars trashing the woman who won that primary,
Speaker 2: Julia Letlow. Trashed her every way his campaign could, called
Speaker 2: her a liberal, smeared her as a lefty. She still
Speaker 2: beat him, with Cassidy coming in third. She beat him
Speaker 2: with Trump's endorsement. Folks, Senator incumbans don't lose before Cassidy here,
Speaker 2: there hadn't been a sitting US Senator to have his
Speaker 2: or her seat taken away from them in fourteen years.
Speaker 2: There is zero doubt that Trump is the reason Bill
Speaker 2: Cassidy was shown the door by his voters. Cassidy's loss
Speaker 2: of his Senate seat comes just a few weeks after
Speaker 2: five Republican state senators in Indiana lost their seats after
Speaker 2: Trump asked Indiana voters to kick them out of office
Speaker 2: because they displeased him. If they didn't have the stones
Speaker 2: to play to win and agree to redraw Indiana's congressional map,
Speaker 2: they were useless to the party. Trump said, defeat them.
Speaker 2: Trump instructed Indiana voters, and the Indiana voters complied. Now
Speaker 2: we see a repeat of that in Louisiana with Bill Cassidy,
Speaker 2: and we might see another example of it later today
Speaker 2: after a primary in Kentucky has concluded. A famously anti
Speaker 2: Trump and famously impossible congressman named Thomas Massey is being
Speaker 2: primary today. He's another one whom Trump has asked the
Speaker 2: voters of his district to kick out of office. And
Speaker 2: to me, Massey might be the ultimate litmus test on
Speaker 2: how much power Donald Trump continues to hold over today's
Speaker 2: Republican Party, because Massey seems to define that politician that
Speaker 2: his people back home just love. We've seen President Trump
Speaker 2: and many of the careers of lawmakers who decided to
Speaker 2: take him on more directly Liz Cheney, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc.
Speaker 2: But if Thomas Massey doesn't survive the day with his
Speaker 2: House seat intact, it will mean something. Massey seems to
Speaker 2: be the perfect example of how the people back home
Speaker 2: just love me because I'm voting the way they want
Speaker 2: me to vote, and I'm really representing their interests in Congress,
Speaker 2: and they view me as mavericky and anti Washington. That's
Speaker 2: how Thomas Massey would explain why he's kept his House
Speaker 2: seats for so long, even though he's been a notoriously
Speaker 2: difficult waste of skin inside the Republican Caucus for years.
Speaker 2: I don't have anything against Thomas Massey in particular, but
Speaker 2: I've described him to my listeners over the years as
Speaker 2: someone who thinks it's his job to be mavericky and
Speaker 2: difficult and impossible, and a perpetual thorn in the side
Speaker 2: of his own parties leaders in Congress. Thomas Massey has
Speaker 2: done as much to stop the conservative agenda as Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer has over the recent past. Thomas Massey famously votes
Speaker 2: no on virtually all spending legislation because he thinks spending
Speaker 2: overall is too high. Okay, good point. I can see
Speaker 2: voting that way when you're new to Congress and you're
Speaker 2: trying to make your point, but at some point, it's
Speaker 2: just being mindless and stupid. So you're really not going
Speaker 2: to vote in favor of rebuilding our military when there's
Speaker 2: a desperate need. No, I'm being a dick, being a dick. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is Thomas Massey's tenure in DC. He's never helpful. Ever,
Speaker 2: when his voters really needed to pass something important or
Speaker 2: advance the Republican or conservative agenda, he always has to
Speaker 2: be the grand standard jerk. And don't take my word
Speaker 2: for it. One Kentucky Republican who's always voted for Thomas
Speaker 2: Massey said this week, I understand him trying to stick
Speaker 2: to his guns. This guy doesn't like how Massey has
Speaker 2: opposed his own party all the time. Sometimes you have
Speaker 2: to think about the greater good and say, I have
Speaker 2: to take one for the team here. So this salesman
Speaker 2: fifty nine year old to Tim Brock, is voting for
Speaker 2: Massey's opponent this time. But to this point, Massey's constituents
Speaker 2: back home in Kentucky have loved him, and so if
Speaker 2: I had to predict an outcome, I'd predict he narrowly
Speaker 2: survives today and isn't pushed out in that Kentucky primary.
Speaker 2: But with angry Trump voters showing other Republicans the door
Speaker 2: when they thought they were safe. You never know, and
Speaker 2: President Trump really wants Massey's scalp. Trump recently flew to
Speaker 2: Kentucky to do an event and specifically calm man see
Speaker 2: a quote complete and total disaster who needs to be
Speaker 2: shoved out of office. This time around, the President's team
Speaker 2: recruited a former Navy seal to run against him, who's
Speaker 2: run a good campaign and has kept the polling close,
Speaker 2: and I think in the last few polls it was
Speaker 2: either tied or the opponent was leading a little bit.
Speaker 2: Trump also had some of his billionaire friends dump a
Speaker 2: bunch of money into defeating Thomas Massey, making this what
Speaker 2: might be the most expensive primary race in congressional history.
Speaker 2: When it's over, Trump wants Massy out, regardless of what
Speaker 2: today's outcome is in Kentucky. There's no doubt that I
Speaker 2: was correct on last week's podcast when I explained how
Speaker 2: and why Donald Trump's influence over the Republican Party is
Speaker 2: actually getting stronger toward the end of his second term
Speaker 2: at a time in which history says normal presidents should
Speaker 2: be losing influence and becoming lame.
Speaker 1: Ducks.
Speaker 2: The average president at the end of term two is
Speaker 2: seeing his own party members abandon him. They're starting to
Speaker 2: look out for themselves. They know that president can't run again,
Speaker 2: but they can and they want to keep their jobs.
Speaker 2: So this is normally the time that any two term
Speaker 2: president and is abandoned and or ignored by the fellow
Speaker 2: elected leaders and power brokers in his own party. Not Trump.
Speaker 2: The reason is that Donald Trump's support within the Republican
Speaker 2: Party itself was so soft at the start. Donald Trump
Speaker 2: came down that escalator and into office with a significant
Speaker 2: chunk of Republican voters not liking him and not wanting
Speaker 2: him to be president. And so basically Trump spent nearly
Speaker 2: all of his first term trying to convince members of
Speaker 2: his own party that he was a good leader and
Speaker 2: was worth their support. Then, after the disastrous four years
Speaker 2: of Biden, which worked as a vivid contrast to Trump's
Speaker 2: first four years of competence. After Biden, more Republicans than
Speaker 2: ever said, yeah, we support Donald Trump. Then he wins
Speaker 2: a second term and really shocks the world by coming
Speaker 2: into office extremely prepared. He is a man and a mission.
Speaker 2: He's a man with clear and aggressive plans laid out
Speaker 2: on virtually everything. We are going to do a doge
Speaker 2: outit of the entire federal government, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: put the smartest man in the country on that task.
Speaker 2: We're going to destroy the longtime Democrat machine. We're going
Speaker 2: to snuff out climate change nonsense and DEI bullying and
Speaker 2: trans bullying. And he had a plan for all of this.
Speaker 2: Trump and his second term team have been stellar, just
Speaker 2: stellar in dealing with national international affairs, and so, of
Speaker 2: course Donald Trump has far more loyalty from Republican voters
Speaker 2: than he did in term one. And I know the
Speaker 2: mainstream media members spin the exact opposite in all of this.
Speaker 2: They're wrong. That's not what's really going on. His incredible
Speaker 2: displays of competency when it comes to Iran and Venezuela
Speaker 2: and China, etc. Have his popularity peaking among his own
Speaker 2: party members at a time in which it's supposed to
Speaker 2: be waning. And I know it goes against the prevailing
Speaker 2: liberal narrative completely Trump's weak, his party's abandoning him, bullplop.
Speaker 2: They're wrong on that. It's wishful thinking from Trump adversaries
Speaker 2: and not what's really going on within the Republican Party
Speaker 2: and taking out Senator Cassidy at the knees is even
Speaker 2: more proof of this. If Massey's opponent ekes out a
Speaker 2: win in Kentucky tonight, there will be no more doubt
Speaker 2: among GOP insiders. If you'll want to be in good
Speaker 2: standing with the party's grassroots, don't cross Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's
Speaker 2: playing for keeps. I mean, he clearly knows the power
Speaker 2: that his endorsement carries. And Trump is clearly on a
Speaker 2: mission to get as much accomplished in the way of
Speaker 2: restoring America as he possibly can before he leaves office.
Speaker 2: So Trump's expanding his list of targets. The latest is
Speaker 2: the ever annoying Lauren Bobert of Colorado. She pulled to
Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green. Basically, she decided to turn on Trump
Speaker 2: and even went so far as to campaign for Thomas Massey.
Speaker 2: And so Lauren Bobert's on Trump's hit list. Now He's
Speaker 2: calling for someone that he can get behind to primary
Speaker 2: her as someone who is simply an observer on all
Speaker 2: of this. I'm hoping that Thomas Massey has bounced out
Speaker 2: of his House seat today. I hope the voters of
Speaker 2: Kentucky realize just how little Massey has actually helped them,
Speaker 2: helped the Party, helped America with his always Maverickie, always difficult,
Speaker 2: always a dick stick, as Joe Consha correctly put it
Speaker 2: over at the Washington Examiner. As for Massie's accomplishments, none exist.
Speaker 2: The congressman never offered anything resembling solutions or alternatives he
Speaker 2: helped to House former Speaker Kevin McCarthy when a solid
Speaker 2: majority of House members approved of his performance, leaving Republicans
Speaker 2: scrambling for months. Then Massey's plan with Mike Johnson was
Speaker 2: the same as it was with McCarthy. Forced Johnson out
Speaker 2: or force his resignation, just to be difficult, conscious says,
Speaker 2: despite Massey pretending to care so much, he's never offered
Speaker 2: himself up as speaker. In fact, he never offered anyone
Speaker 2: as an alternative to McCarthy or Johnson, because that would
Speaker 2: require living in reality and understanding how Congress works, Joe
Speaker 2: concac concludes, But for Massey, the possible consequences of his
Speaker 2: actions aren't the point. It's all about fundraising and retaining power.
Speaker 2: If he ask me, Thomas Massey has been worse than
Speaker 2: a quiet backbencher who gets nothing done and only cashes
Speaker 2: the paycheck. Massey has worked to make things more difficult
Speaker 2: for his own party, and his own leaders, and his
Speaker 2: own alleged conservative side of the Aisle. I hope he
Speaker 2: is unemployed as of January. If you missed it, it's
Speaker 2: now official. President Trump's team has delivered twelve months, a
Speaker 2: full year of zero illegals released into our country after
Speaker 2: they've been caught or presented at the southern border. The
Speaker 2: way they categorize this is how many people were caught
Speaker 2: sneaking over the border who then had an excuse or
Speaker 2: a claim that allowed them to come into the country.
Speaker 2: The Department of Homeland Security says, for a full year
Speaker 2: now that number has been zero. Border patrol has allowed
Speaker 2: zero crossers into the country. That is a remarkable statistic
Speaker 2: and an even more remarkable achievement. First of all, we
Speaker 2: have far, far, far fewer illegal crossers. We've got more
Speaker 2: fence than ever, We've got more drones in the air.
Speaker 2: We have an administration that's sending the right message to
Speaker 2: the globe. Do not try to sneak in illegally. We
Speaker 2: will stop you, and you will then never be allowed in.
Speaker 2: And We've got the most secure southern border in American
Speaker 2: history by far. There is simply no other era or
Speaker 2: presidency to compare this to. Twelve straight months of zero
Speaker 2: releases at the border would have been thought impossible up
Speaker 2: to this point, folks, it really would have. As the
Speaker 2: new DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen puts it, the days
Speaker 2: of catch and release are over. We're enforcing the nation's
Speaker 2: laws and send the illegal aliens back to their home countries.
Speaker 2: Mullen noted two years ago, Biden and his turd of
Speaker 2: a border secretary, Alejandro Mayorcis were letting illegals flood into
Speaker 2: the country like crazy, and as an official number, they
Speaker 2: released sixty eight thousand border crossers into the country after
Speaker 2: they'd been captured at the border trying to cross. They
Speaker 2: talked their way into being allowed to stay. Now at zero,
Speaker 2: if you're caught sneaking into this country, there are zero excuses.
Speaker 2: You can't claim asylum or talk your way out of removal.
Speaker 2: You're going to be removed from this country. No more
Speaker 2: catch and release. That is a massive win for the country.
Speaker 2: Secure borders for really the first time in my lifetime,
Speaker 2: and for all real purposes, The first time Historically, the
Speaker 2: DHS says they're now averaging less than three hundred people
Speaker 2: per day trying to sneak across our southern border, and
Speaker 2: the Biden era, nearly four hundred illegals crossed our border
Speaker 2: each hour. According to the Border Patrol, about fifty five
Speaker 2: thousand people have tried to cross our southern border illegally
Speaker 2: since the start of the fiscal year that's October first.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a big number. Fifty five thousand illegal
Speaker 2: crossings eight months and they were all turned back. That's
Speaker 2: a far cry from the one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 2: thousand illegals that Joe Biden and his team were letting
Speaker 2: into the country every month toward the end of his term.
Speaker 2: By the way, remember that peaked at about three hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand people per month that Joe Biden and
Speaker 2: Alejandro Mayorcus were allowing into this country at the peak
Speaker 2: of their illegal flood inward. Meanwhile, if you notice Biden's
Speaker 2: former team members and some of America's top Democrats and
Speaker 2: now trying to reinvent history by lying about what went
Speaker 2: on during that Biden era, the oily snake Alejandro Mayorcus
Speaker 2: has been out doing interviews, pretending as if they weren't
Speaker 2: intentionally flooding America with illegals. He's acting as if they
Speaker 2: weren't intentionally allowing millions of illegals to flood into this country.
Speaker 2: He's also pretending that a rule change in the final
Speaker 2: six months of Biden's tenure is what led to today's
Speaker 2: more secure borders. Talk about a highly dishonest spin and
Speaker 2: talk about the need to assume the American people are idiots.
Speaker 2: The Democrats are really going to try to convince us
Speaker 2: that they didn't intentionally let eight to ten million illegals
Speaker 2: flood into this country and they didn't do everything they
Speaker 2: could to encourage it. They're really going to try to
Speaker 2: convince us that Biden's team had the problem fixed before
Speaker 2: he left office, or at least largely fixed. And come on,
Speaker 2: Alejandro Mayorkus is actually claiming that all of those illegals
Speaker 2: he led in he led in by accident oop, but
Speaker 2: he'd fixed the accident by June of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: and the border flood was over before he and Joe
Speaker 2: left office. Is anyone stupid enough to believe that you
Speaker 2: need to be a slug who's been living in a
Speaker 2: shoe box for the last six years. In order to
Speaker 2: believe this, don't you You need to have aoc levels
Speaker 2: of both gullibility and stupidity to believe this. As The
Speaker 2: Washington Examiner editors put it, the Biden administration worked hard
Speaker 2: with the United Nations to facilitate as much migration to
Speaker 2: the United States as possible. In fact, the UN reaffirmed
Speaker 2: the policy this week and inadvertently exposed Mayarcus's lies. Mayorkis
Speaker 2: said at a security summit quote, I was very pleased
Speaker 2: that in June of twenty twenty four, we took executive
Speaker 2: action that I thought made reforms that were sensible and
Speaker 2: proved successful. Our tougher border stance was coupled with an
Speaker 2: increased focus on providing lawful pathways for people to arrive
Speaker 2: in the United States outside the hands of smugglers. Those
Speaker 2: two combined dropped our numbers by seventy to seventy five percent.
Speaker 3: Wrong.
Speaker 2: That's a flat out lie. In June of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: about one hundred and thirty thousand illegals were intercepted crossing
Speaker 2: our southern border and they were let into this country.
Speaker 2: And by December of twenty twenty four, Biden's last full
Speaker 2: month in office, apprehensions had fallen to about ninety six thousand.
Speaker 2: That's a decline of about twenty five percent, not the
Speaker 2: seventy five percent that Mayorcus is claiming. And let's not
Speaker 2: pretend that that decline didn't have everything to do with
Speaker 2: the fact that Donald Trump had won the November election
Speaker 2: and everyone involved knew there was going to be a
Speaker 2: big border crack down and wholesale changes coming in January. Folks,
Speaker 2: The Biden flood of illegals finally slowed during his regime's
Speaker 2: last month in office because people from around the world
Speaker 2: knew it would be a fruitless journey. Their time was
Speaker 2: running out to get their affairs in order at home
Speaker 2: and make their way into Mexico into America's southern and
Speaker 2: border before Trump took office. That's why illegal crossings dipped
Speaker 2: to about one hundred thousand in December of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: not because of anything Biden or Mayorcis did. At their peak,
Speaker 2: Biden and Mayarcis were letting over three hundred thousand people
Speaker 2: per month flood into this country, and not a single
Speaker 2: one of their fellow Democrats complained about it. Remember, not
Speaker 2: a single one of their fellow Democrats made a peep.
Speaker 2: This was an intentional scheme among America's desperate Democrat Party members.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a mistake. And now that those same Democrats
Speaker 2: have to deal with the backlash, they want to pretend
Speaker 2: that that flood of illegals isn't what they wanted either. Boloney,
Speaker 2: it was a clerical mistake that had illegals flooding into
Speaker 2: the country, and it took us four years to correct it.
Speaker 2: You're a moron's moron if you believe that. That excuse
Speaker 2: also completely ignores any and all efforts that the Biden
Speaker 2: regime and the Democrats made to ensure as many illegals
Speaker 2: as possible were flooding into this country as fast as possible.
Speaker 2: During Biden's first months in office, he reversed dozens something
Speaker 2: like six the rules that the Trump team had put
Speaker 2: in place in term one in order to slow the
Speaker 2: flood of illegals and the bogus asylum seekers. Then, Biden's
Speaker 2: team created a series of bogus, unconstitutional parole programs to
Speaker 2: speed up the pace of the flood even more. Remember
Speaker 2: Biden Mayorcis and that team even went so far as
Speaker 2: to create special programs that would erase the need for
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of illegals to get to our border.
Speaker 2: You don't even have to make your way to our
Speaker 2: southern border. If you sign up on this Biden app
Speaker 2: we'll just fly you in directly from your home country.
Speaker 2: Remember this was the Democrats not wanting and not encouraging
Speaker 2: that flood of illegals. Come on, no one's that's stupid.
Speaker 2: After Mayorcus made these ridiculous claims, Marco Rubio State Department
Speaker 2: reacted by saying the United Nations was actually working with
Speaker 2: the Biden administration to effectively erase America's borders. This is
Speaker 2: a complete rewrite of history. The State Department put out
Speaker 2: a statement that said UN agencies systematically facilitated mass migration
Speaker 2: into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations
Speaker 2: called for restrictions on migration. UN agencies, working with the
Speaker 2: NGOs they fund established a migration corridor through Central America
Speaker 2: and to the US border. Yeah, so much for that nonsense.
Speaker 2: This next segment is me simply highlighting the numerous moves
Speaker 2: the President and his administration are making in order to
Speaker 2: finally take on fifty years of America's global enemies who
Speaker 2: have been taking advantage of America's kind and generous nature.
Speaker 2: Last podcast, I spent some time talking about how this
Speaker 2: second Trump team has dealt with nearly all of China's
Speaker 2: global enemies. As Jijinping and the Chiicom sat in their
Speaker 2: hands and did nothing, Trump went in and nabbed Nicholas Maduro,
Speaker 2: who was China's most powerful ally in the Western hemisphere.
Speaker 2: Trump and Ruby are squeezing Cuba and trying to bring
Speaker 2: about regime change from within there. Trump and Bbe dealt
Speaker 2: with Iran's Mulla's and helped topple China's ally in Syria,
Speaker 2: et cetera. It as a whole amounts to a very
Speaker 2: impressive trail of successes by this administration that the leftist
Speaker 2: global in US media simply aren't giving Trump credit for.
Speaker 2: After years of open border and lack enforcement, Trump's team
Speaker 2: is cracking down on all fronts when it comes to
Speaker 2: national security and keeping America safe and dominant around the globe.
Speaker 2: Just within the last few days, Trump's team has killed
Speaker 2: the number two leader of ISIS in Nigeria. It was
Speaker 2: a flawlessly executed plan. According to the President, his advisors
Speaker 2: and independent analysts called this man the most active terrorist
Speaker 2: in the world, second in command of ISIS globally. He
Speaker 2: is now dead and unable to keep terrorizing people of
Speaker 2: Africa in the Middle East. It would be a big
Speaker 2: win for any other presidential administration they get, they get
Speaker 2: all sorts of attention for it. In Trump's it barely
Speaker 2: gets a headline. More Trump boldness and genius. Even as
Speaker 2: he was meeting with the leaders of China. In China,
Speaker 2: he was approving operations to further cripple the communist regimes
Speaker 2: and American enemies in South and Central America. Fantastic. It's
Speaker 2: great to see Trump isn't letting up on these efforts
Speaker 2: either to leave Central and South America safer from anti
Speaker 2: America foreign involvement. Before he leaves office on Friday, the
Speaker 2: FBI wre with law enforcers in Columbia to snap up
Speaker 2: a high ranking member of Trend de Air Ragua and
Speaker 2: bring him to the US for prosecution. He's just the
Speaker 2: latest dangerous South American cartel member in thug to be
Speaker 2: taken off the board by Trump's team. They've been quietly
Speaker 2: taking high ranking gang and cartel members off the board
Speaker 2: in Mexico and in Latin America for months now. Heck,
Speaker 2: on Sunday, it was made known that President Trump's Justice
Speaker 2: Department is preparing an indictment against Raul Castro in Cuba.
Speaker 2: This is another way to try to force regime change there.
Speaker 2: Rule Castro isn't technically Cuba's president anymore, but he's still
Speaker 2: an important and powerful figurehead in that regime. Criminal charges
Speaker 2: against him would presumably give the Trump administration the clearance
Speaker 2: for a snatch and grab operation of the sort that
Speaker 2: they used to grab up Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela and
Speaker 2: these other lesser known cartel members they've grabbed up and
Speaker 2: taken off the board in Latin America. This is all
Speaker 2: impressive stuff in contrast to the total neglect of the
Speaker 2: Biden administration. Biden was letting only god knows how many
Speaker 2: dangerous criminals and gang and cartel members in this country.
Speaker 2: He could have been letting terrorists into the country with
Speaker 2: his open borders, and they weren't even checking to see
Speaker 2: who anyone was. So now it's up to Donald Trump
Speaker 2: and future presidents and administrations to try to keep the
Speaker 2: country safe from wolves that Biden led into the door.
Speaker 2: Last week, the FEDS arrested a major leader of the
Speaker 2: Cinealoa cartel in Arizona. Gerardo Merita is a for Mexican
Speaker 2: general who took bribes like crazy and was a chief
Speaker 2: security officer for the Mexican cartel. He's just one of
Speaker 2: ten or twelve top Cineloa cartel members who are now
Speaker 2: in US hands for prosecution. This is President Trump, finally
Speaker 2: a US president who is finally taking the threat that
Speaker 2: these Latin American gangs are to America seriously and doing
Speaker 2: something about it. Is he getting any credit for it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Does the average American voter know how much positive activity
Speaker 2: is occurring here and abroad in the name of keeping
Speaker 2: America safe, dealing with their enemies, and taking both the
Speaker 2: Latin gangs and the communist threat seriously.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Last week, it sounds like the CIA snapped up in
Speaker 2: Iraqi military commander and terrorist. He was arrested overseas and
Speaker 2: brought to Manhattan and then charged for planning attacks on
Speaker 2: Jewish sites across the US and in Europe at least
Speaker 2: twenty of them. Has the average American heard about this story?
Speaker 2: Thirty two year old Mohammad Bakir al SAIDI charged for
Speaker 2: planning at least twenty attacks and attempted attacks here and
Speaker 2: in Europe. This man has ties to Hesbalah and the
Speaker 2: Iranian Revolutionary Guard and was knee deep in planning attacks
Speaker 2: on Jewish synagogues and sites across the US, from New
Speaker 2: York to Arizona. Another story in Michigan, our FBI and
Speaker 2: Department of Justice rooted out a plot by a nineteen
Speaker 2: year old guardsman who's been planning a major attack on
Speaker 2: a military base, again in Islamic name Amar Abdul Majid
Speaker 2: Mohammad Said, and again news stories suggests he came into
Speaker 2: the country on Joe Biden's watch, former Michigan National guardsman.
Speaker 2: He was arrested on May thirteenth of last year, the
Speaker 2: very day he was planning to carry out the attack.
Speaker 2: Sayd faces federal charges of attempting to prove material support
Speaker 2: to ISIS and distributing information related to a destructive device.
Speaker 2: If convicted, he faces up to twenty years in prison
Speaker 2: on each count. He allegedly provided undercover agents who he
Speaker 2: thought were fellow ISIS supporters with armor piercing ammunition, high
Speaker 2: capacity magazines. He conducted drone reconnaissance flights over a military base,
Speaker 2: trained undercover officers on firearms and how to construct molotov cocktails.
Speaker 2: He mapped out entry points while identifying specific buildings to
Speaker 2: target for maximum casualties. This clown was planning a major
Speaker 2: attack on one of our military bases on behalf of ISIS,
Speaker 2: and thank god our intelligence agencies were onto him and
Speaker 2: foiled it. And it's another example of just how dangerous
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's open borders were. He and his team were
Speaker 2: not only letting in anyone and everyone who wanted to
Speaker 2: flood into the country. They weren't vetting any of the
Speaker 2: fighting age men who were flooding in from foreign countries,
Speaker 2: not even those countries that are the most hostile to
Speaker 2: the US. How did this clown, as an ISIS operative,
Speaker 2: get in and get to join the National Guard in Michigan?
Speaker 3: How does that happen?
Speaker 2: Such things are just, you know, never explained in any
Speaker 2: of these news stories, are they? But anyone who doesn't
Speaker 2: admit President Trump and his team are brilliantly working on
Speaker 2: several fronts in order to restore America's global strength and
Speaker 2: greatness and keep us safer at home simply isn't being honest.
Speaker 2: With themselves. I don't care how much you like or
Speaker 2: don't like the guy. Trump two point zero and his
Speaker 2: team have been putting on a clinic on how to
Speaker 2: deal with national security threats and foreign enemies. Trump, Rubyo,
Speaker 2: Vance and their support teams have been simply stellar in
Speaker 2: this regard. There are so many instances popping up of
Speaker 2: the fraud that's been occurring in our federal government and
Speaker 2: its numerous programs, and yet there are so few news
Speaker 2: stories describing them to the American people that I'm feeling
Speaker 2: a need to at least mention them on my podcasts.
Speaker 2: Even though the DOJE effort to audit our entire federal
Speaker 2: government began and only ran for about six months at
Speaker 2: full steam last year, the follow ups and the echoes
Speaker 2: from it continue to pay dividends to the American people. Now.
Speaker 2: The levels and instances of outrageous for that are being
Speaker 2: found in our government agencies, now that someone's finally looking,
Speaker 2: are turning out to be so significant that they shouldn't
Speaker 2: be ignored. Vice President Vance has been the de facto
Speaker 2: leader of the Trump team's auditing efforts to root out
Speaker 2: this fraud, and so far it's clear that massive amounts
Speaker 2: of fraud are occurring and have been occurring for decades
Speaker 2: in the states of California and Minnesota. We know that,
Speaker 2: but I'm convinced that if you look at nearly every state,
Speaker 2: you'll find at least some level of fraud related to
Speaker 2: our government programs. And I'm especially convinced that if you
Speaker 2: looked at nearly every blue state like California or Minnesota,
Speaker 2: you would find those same levels of massive, ugly and
Speaker 2: often intentional fraud. Tell me that Michigan isn't at least
Speaker 2: as wash in fraud as Minnesota is. Tell me Illinois
Speaker 2: isn't experiencing the same sorts of institutional and intentional defrauding
Speaker 2: of these programs by Democrats as we're discovering in California.
Speaker 2: These scams have been going on forever, and at two levels.
Speaker 2: You have the first individual level, where you have the
Speaker 2: individual fraudsters who prey on the programs and get away
Speaker 2: with it because no one at the state or federal
Speaker 2: level is ever actually looking for fraud. The second is
Speaker 2: the type of fraud we're discovering that has been organized
Speaker 2: and carried out by the Democrats who've been running the
Speaker 2: blue states and cities and have been in charge of
Speaker 2: administering the federal programs at their local level. It's this
Speaker 2: type of fraud that is leading to shocking revelations of
Speaker 2: tens to hundreds of billions of dollars of stolen money
Speaker 2: siphoned away from the taxpayers by the local and state
Speaker 2: Democrats and their lefty bureaucrats used to line their own pockets. Again,
Speaker 2: this week, we had another person convicted of being the
Speaker 2: mastermind of a food fraud scheme in Minnesota. Say, oh,
Speaker 2: elon Omar knew all about it, she kept it going
Speaker 2: for us, folks. This isn't the only criminal court in
Speaker 2: these Minnesota fraud schemes. Who says elon Omar, Tim Walls,
Speaker 2: Keith Ellison and other Democrats in Minnesota knew about it
Speaker 2: and actually helped perpetrate and pet perpetuate the fraud. This
Speaker 2: is just the latest. Amy Bach was convicted of bribery, conspiracy,
Speaker 2: and fraud charges after investigators looked into her quote non
Speaker 2: profit feeding our Future, she helped restaurant owners file faked
Speaker 2: claims around child nutrition funds, and she's now awaiting sentencing.
Speaker 2: But this week, Bach said, oh, Congresswoman elon Omar knew
Speaker 2: she'd step in anytime there was a question with the
Speaker 2: federal funding, or if some deadline ran out, Elon had
Speaker 2: to be in on it, she told The New York Post. Quote.
Speaker 2: Dozens of members of minnesota Somali community have been convicted
Speaker 2: of fraudulently billing the state's Department of Education for millions
Speaker 2: of meals they claimed they served to low income children
Speaker 2: during the COVID outbreak, while pocketing much of the money.
Speaker 2: Says Omar was instrumental in loosening the laws that set
Speaker 2: the stage for the scheme, including introducing the Meals Act
Speaker 2: to Congress in March of twenty twenty, which allowed the
Speaker 2: US Department of Agriculture to issue waivers for school meal
Speaker 2: requirements during the pandemic. Those waivers dramatically eased oversight of
Speaker 2: the federal programs by allowing restaurants to participate without any
Speaker 2: of the usual site inspections. Omar would personally step in
Speaker 2: whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the ramp and fraud
Speaker 2: to continue. Bach alleged during this woman's court case, Elon
Speaker 2: Omar's name came up at least six times in some
Speaker 2: of the texts and emails that were used as state's
Speaker 2: evidence against Amy Bach. Six of the email exchanges between
Speaker 2: Bach and Omar were about helping with federal waivers to
Speaker 2: keep the money flowing to the fraudsters. And of course
Speaker 2: it was largely Somali restaurants who were involved in the scams.
Speaker 2: One named Safari took an at least sixteen million dollars
Speaker 2: stolen from the US taxpayers one restaurant, just one Somali
Speaker 2: restaurant in the Twin Cities defrauded US taxpayers to the
Speaker 2: tune of sixteen million dollars with Elon Omar's help. Why
Speaker 2: is Omar not in jail? Bach told investigators and the
Speaker 2: New York Post that this was so rampant in the
Speaker 2: Somali community up there because everyone knew that the government
Speaker 2: officials had no interest in investigating the Somali community. The
Speaker 2: Democrats in charge, like Tim Waltz, were more interested in
Speaker 2: assuring the Somali votes for Democrats and quote wooing back
Speaker 2: the Somali community and its Muslim leaders who'd been toned
Speaker 2: off by the left some embrace of trans rights and abortion.
Speaker 2: The story says, tell me that doesn't ring true to you.
Speaker 2: And of course this was fraud being sanctioned and coordinated
Speaker 2: by Democrats at the state and federal level. Of course,
Speaker 2: it was I guarantee you that we'd find these exact
Speaker 2: same schemes and forms of fraud off investigators looked more
Speaker 2: closely at Michigan, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Washington. Pick
Speaker 2: a blue state. I guarantee you the Democrats who've been
Speaker 2: controlling those states and those cities for generations, earning the
Speaker 2: exact same sorts of scams, defrauding the federal taxpayers to
Speaker 2: the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to fill
Speaker 2: their own pockets and forward their own lefty agendas. It
Speaker 2: isn't just Minnesota and California who have lawless, scummy Democrat
Speaker 2: leaders organizing such criminal fraud operations. It's just that so
Speaker 2: far Trump's federal auditors have only looked at California and Minnesota.
Speaker 2: I mentioned some of the New England states. JD. Vance
Speaker 2: was in Maine last Thursday and said his fraud task
Speaker 2: force just uncovered the theft of fifteen million dollars of
Speaker 2: medicaid fraud involving a single illegal alien. This is just
Speaker 2: one America hater sanctioned by the Biden government to abuse
Speaker 2: the American people. Here's vance.
Speaker 4: Let me talk a little bit about just one person,
Speaker 4: because I think it highlights how bad the fraud problem
Speaker 4: has been in the state of Maine. We had an
Speaker 4: illegal immigrant in this community who said who said that
Speaker 4: she was providing services, interpretive services to other immigrants. Okay,
Speaker 4: So medicaid reimburses people to provide interpretation services for people
Speaker 4: who don't speak English, which, by the way, people should
Speaker 4: be speaking English in the United States of America. I
Speaker 4: think that's common sense. But this woman, her name was
Speaker 4: Rakiyah Mohammad, and it turns out that Rakiya Mohammad was
Speaker 4: not a particularly upstanding citizen. Okay, So while she said
Speaker 4: that she was providing interpretation services, do you know what
Speaker 4: she was actually doing, providing zero services and collecting the
Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars over a five year period that was
Speaker 4: going directly into her pocket. And that happened pretty much
Speaker 4: during the entirety of the Biden administration, and no one
Speaker 4: in the Biden administration thought to step in and stop
Speaker 4: this ridiculous fraud. Now here's here. I have two questions
Speaker 4: when it comes to Rakiyu Muhammad stealing fifteen million dollars
Speaker 4: from every single person in this room. Question number one
Speaker 4: is why was this person in the United States of America?
Speaker 4: To begin with? Call me crazy, but I think that
Speaker 4: when we welcome new immigrants to the United States of America.
Speaker 3: They should be people who.
Speaker 4: Enrich our country and bring some good skills into our country,
Speaker 4: not a person who's going to steal fifteen million dollars
Speaker 4: from the people in this room. But second of all,
Speaker 4: why on earth are we allowing a person to steal
Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars from all of you without the state
Speaker 4: government lifting a finger to stop it.
Speaker 2: Yep, this illegal was associated with yet another bogus company
Speaker 2: called Bright Future, Healthier You. Its sole purpose, like so
Speaker 2: many others we've seen that were created by connected Democrats,
Speaker 2: its sole purpose seemed to be to defraud the federal government.
Speaker 2: This is like Stacy Abrams setting up a bogus nonprofit
Speaker 2: so the Biden government could shovel two million dollars at
Speaker 2: her before they left office. We're finding that this sort
Speaker 2: of intentional illegality has become routine among the Democrats at
Speaker 2: all levels of government apparently, and was put on steroids
Speaker 2: during the Obama and Biden eras that party in its
Speaker 2: leaders at all levels. We're coordinating to steal, from, defraud,
Speaker 2: and abuse the American people any way they could that
Speaker 2: fraudster and Maine was connected to Democrats in office dolling
Speaker 2: out the Medicaid funding. It's no mistake that an entire
Speaker 2: criminal enterprise has been built up around that entitlement, in
Speaker 2: particular in the state of California. Last week, the Trump
Speaker 2: administration blocked one point three billion dollars in Medicaid payments
Speaker 2: to California because Governor Gavin Newsom and California leaders refuse
Speaker 2: to clean up the ramp and fraud in their medicaid program.
Speaker 2: Get this, let's just start with this. Washington sends one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight billion dollars to California in Medicaid
Speaker 2: reimbursements every year. One hundred and thirty eight billion, folks.
Speaker 2: The yearly budgets for Wisconsin Illinois are about fifty five
Speaker 2: billion dollars each right now. This means the amount of
Speaker 2: medicaid money that federal taxpayers send to California each year
Speaker 2: is more than double the amount of money it takes
Speaker 2: to run the state governments of Illinois and Wisconsin. California's
Speaker 2: Medicaid program is rife with fraud as well. You can't
Speaker 2: imagine the number of intentionally crafted schemes. Generations of California
Speaker 2: leftists have layered into this program and now refuse to
Speaker 2: fix now that they've been caught. As Vice President Vance
Speaker 2: said this week, how long are people going to pay
Speaker 2: into programs if they know that money the money doesn't
Speaker 2: go to low income kids who need health care, but
Speaker 2: the money goes to a fraud getting rich. Just recently,
Speaker 2: in California, prosecutors charged dozens of hospice providers where fraudulently
Speaker 2: enrolling Medicaid Medicare beneficiaries. Some of them were stolen identities.
Speaker 2: Doctor Oz is Trump's administrator of this, and he said
Speaker 2: the FEDS suspended payments to eight hundred hospice and home
Speaker 2: care agencies suspected of fraud in LA this week. That's
Speaker 2: just in LA, and the way the system is set up,
Speaker 2: it's an invitation to cheat. For every dollar California spends
Speaker 2: on traditional enrollees, the sick and the disabled, it gets
Speaker 2: another dollar from the Feds. For healthy adults covered by
Speaker 2: Obamacare's expansion. It gets nine dollars per enrollee. So there
Speaker 2: is literally a disincentive to police fraud in this system,
Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom has ignored and brushed aside all suggestions
Speaker 2: from Trump and Vance to take this fraud seriously. One
Speaker 2: person's fraud is another person's political scam, I guess. And
Speaker 2: so California Democrats are resisting all efforts to clean up
Speaker 2: their Medicaid program. And that's just one government agency, one
Speaker 2: government entitlement being abused in California. You can rest assured
Speaker 2: that all the others are too, and these griffs will
Speaker 2: continue until Congress and more responsible leaders at the local
Speaker 2: level decide that they're going to finally stand up for
Speaker 2: the taxpayer and make an effort to run clean programs.
Speaker 2: That's not something that any modern day Democrat seems inclined
Speaker 2: to do. In fact, almost none of this fraud would
Speaker 2: have been discovered if President Trump's fraud teams hadn't been looking.
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice just discovered a group of healthcare
Speaker 2: professionals who built Medicare out of at least a billion dollars,
Speaker 2: and finally their operation is being shut down. This was
Speaker 2: in Florida. The owner of a healthcare software company was
Speaker 2: convicted of massive Medicare fraud on Thursday, with the Acting
Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Blanche saying it was one of the
Speaker 2: most egregious fraud schemes in Florida history. Health Splash is
Speaker 2: the name of the company and the owner and CEO,
Speaker 2: Brett Blackman, and his co conspirators quote aggressively targeted hundreds
Speaker 2: of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries to get them to accept
Speaker 2: medically unnecessary products and got illegal kick with telemedicine doctors
Speaker 2: and pharmacies that would falsely build Medicare for the unnecessary items.
Speaker 2: According to the DOJ, the fraud was hidden with sham
Speaker 2: contracts and manipulation of documents. This is just one instance
Speaker 2: of Medicare fraud being discovered because Trump's people are finally
Speaker 2: looking for the fraud. And as I say, the most
Speaker 2: expensive fraud to the US taxpayer is that type of
Speaker 2: fraud that today's Democrats and America hating activists are actually sanctioning, quietly, illegally,
Speaker 2: but sanctioning. An investigative team at Real Clear Politics just
Speaker 2: did a deep dive into why Medicaid spending doubled under
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. What they found is that Biden's administration pushed
Speaker 2: for Congress to double Medicaid spending with Congress rejecting their request,
Speaker 2: and then so Biden's team just went ahead and did it.
Speaker 2: Biden's team and our federal and state bureaucrats just went
Speaker 2: ahead and doubled spending at the bureaucratic level anyway. Talk
Speaker 2: about illegal and unconstitutional. The executive branch is supposed to
Speaker 2: get congressional approval for all new federal spending. Biden's regime
Speaker 2: requested a doubling Medicaid spending and Congress rejected it. So
Speaker 2: Biden's team just quietly went to the lefty bureaucrats at
Speaker 2: the state and federal levels that administered that Medicaid program
Speaker 2: and doubled Medicaid spending. Anyway. How are people not in
Speaker 2: prison for this? Real clear as investigation found quote lacking
Speaker 2: congressional approval, policymakers simply moved the initiative out of Washington
Speaker 2: and down to the state's medicaid agencies and much of
Speaker 2: the money was spent anyway. The Centers for Medicare and
Speaker 2: Medicaid Services worked with state programs to expand existing waivers,
Speaker 2: raise reimbursement rates paid to home care providers, and build
Speaker 2: out programs that pay family members to act as caregivers.
Speaker 2: States that wanted to grow their spending pulled the regulatory
Speaker 2: levers they already had. States that hesitated were offered federal
Speaker 2: matching dollars and a steady drumbeat of Biden era guidance
Speaker 2: encouraging to expand, and of course, most of the new
Speaker 2: dollars were accessed by Democrat controlled states. This investigation says Massachusetts,
Speaker 2: New Jersey, Illinois, California, and Pennsylvania all rank in the
Speaker 2: top tier of absolute spending growth in their Medicaid program.
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania's home health bill grew more than twelvefold over five years,
Speaker 2: and thanks to Trump auditors, we are just now learning
Speaker 2: of this. The investigation goes on to say that a
Speaker 2: lot of fraud that's being prosecuted related to Medicaid right
Speaker 2: now actually comes as a result of this move in
Speaker 2: the Biden era. It's fraud that was born out of
Speaker 2: this illegal expansion of reimbursements that Biden's scummy actors created
Speaker 2: when no one was looking, and it fits. I mean,
Speaker 2: what are you going to get when you have shadowy
Speaker 2: actors manipulating our government agencies to offer even more free
Speaker 2: money to their political friends and their nonprofits. You're going
Speaker 2: to get even more fraud right. Hey, hey, hey, keep
Speaker 2: it under your hat. But we've just freed up all
Speaker 2: sorts of new money for people who provide in home
Speaker 2: health care. So if you were to pretend to start
Speaker 2: an in home healthcare company, we could funnel all sorts
Speaker 2: of free money to you. That's how all of this works.
Speaker 2: Whether it's elon Omar encouraging bogus Somali nonprofits or Stacey
Speaker 2: the Abrams pretending to start a climate change nonprofit, this
Speaker 2: is how all of it works. It's no wonder the
Speaker 2: fraud is rampant, especially when one side of the aisle
Speaker 2: is filled with a bunch of unethical America haters. Now,
Speaker 2: as today's left is, I mean, I tell you, most
Speaker 2: of them aren't even pretending to care about America's long
Speaker 2: standing laws or constitutional protections anymore, and they certainly don't
Speaker 2: care about how they're spending the taxpayer money. Most of
Speaker 2: today's Democrat leaders aren't even pretending that they want to
Speaker 2: abide by and defend the Constitution if it means they
Speaker 2: don't get their way. One of the funniest and at
Speaker 2: the same time one of the most alarming moments of
Speaker 2: the last few days was Kamala Harris brainstorming. You've heard
Speaker 2: about this, Kamala Harris, former VIP two time presidential loser,
Speaker 2: calling on Democrats and her political friends to do anything
Speaker 2: necessary to get their way. She called for a brainstorming
Speaker 2: session in which there were no bad ideas, and then
Speaker 2: went on to rattle off a host of bad and
Speaker 2: even unconstitutional ideas.
Speaker 5: Hey, look, this is a moment where there are no
Speaker 5: bad eyes ideas, no bad idea. Brainstorm is what I'd
Speaker 5: like to call it. And in that no bad ideas brainstorm,
Speaker 5: we talk about what we need to do and think
Speaker 5: about doing around the electoral College. We talk about the
Speaker 5: idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court.
Speaker 5: We invite a conversation about multi members districts that we
Speaker 5: agree that it is right to have ethics rules for
Speaker 5: Supreme Court justices and let's put those in place. Let's
Speaker 5: talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. These are
Speaker 5: the things I think that we've got to do. We've
Speaker 5: got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue
Speaker 5: states expanding their maps and all of this I think is, Look,
Speaker 5: we gotta fight fire with fire. These folks are playing
Speaker 5: to win. We got to play to win too.
Speaker 2: By the way, that's the Kamala Herros tone that has
Speaker 2: so many people convinced she's a quiet drunk. That tone,
Speaker 2: that little affectation, that lilt that she adds to her
Speaker 2: voice as if she's trying to be cute or clever.
Speaker 2: That's the tone that she clearly thinks is cute and convincing.
Speaker 2: It's just annoying. She's the idiot, but she's talking to
Speaker 2: the rest of us as if we're idiots. Right, But
Speaker 2: her rant featured nearly every single extreme or radical idea
Speaker 2: that we on the conservative side have been detailing as
Speaker 2: the actual agenda of today's Democrats. We have to steal
Speaker 2: back control of the Supreme Court so they only rule
Speaker 2: our way. We need to add Puerto Rico in the
Speaker 2: District of Columbia as states to get constitutional representation because
Speaker 2: it means more Democrat House members and it helps us
Speaker 2: rig the game. We need to abolish the Electoral College
Speaker 2: or find a work around for it, because the country
Speaker 2: has more Democrats than Republicans and will win every election
Speaker 2: if we go by popular vote. Big irony here, Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris lost the popular vote too. Even if the Democrats
Speaker 2: scheme to steal all future presidential elections by eliminating the
Speaker 2: electoral college, what would have been in It wouldn't have
Speaker 2: changed the twenty twenty four results. It wouldn't have put
Speaker 2: Kamala in office. But she'll lie about it now. She
Speaker 2: talked about Republicans rigging the state maps and so Democrats
Speaker 2: had to do the same. Well, the Democrats have been
Speaker 2: rigging their maps to the extreme for generations and nearly
Speaker 2: all of the blue states. This woman is a stone
Speaker 2: cold idiot. There is so much dishonesty that drips from
Speaker 2: our average Democrat leader today that their rank and file
Speaker 2: voters cannot possibly know the truth of things. That's the
Speaker 2: problem here. I mean, for heaven's sake, after the Virginia
Speaker 2: and Supreme Court rulings on maps and racial gerrymandering, we
Speaker 2: have officially hit the we must destroy democracy in order
Speaker 2: to save it phase of the democrats temper tantrum. Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris just laid part of it out for you. We've
Speaker 2: seen nearly two weeks of suggestions like Kamala's that it's
Speaker 2: okay for everyone on the left to start ignoring any ruling,
Speaker 2: any decision, any law that they don't like. It's now
Speaker 2: time to destroy the democracy. To save the democracy, we
Speaker 2: have to scrap our equal power sharing among the three
Speaker 2: branches of government and trash America's constitutional setup so that
Speaker 2: we can save democracy. We need to do things that
Speaker 2: allow Democrats to win every election, in every court case,
Speaker 2: every time, or it's not democracy. This is where the
Speaker 2: Democrats reside now as a party.
