Speaker 1 (00:01):
The big story that I want to start with today
is one that should make many of you frustrated, and
that is the Democrat I'm going to call them the
Seditious Six. They were trying to create a revolt within
the United States Armed Forces against President Donald Trump. This
now coming from Brian mass the Republican from Florida. He's
(00:23):
also the chairman of the House Florida Fairs Committee. He
said the propaganda video from the so called Seditious Six
Capitol Hill lawmakers was clearly intentionally an effort to create
a revolt within the US Armed Forces. According to the congressman,
such an indiscretion rises to the level of sedition under
(00:45):
the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Now, he went on
Trey Goudi, one of his former colleagues, in Congress's show
on Fox News Channel, and I want you to hear
what he had to say, not only about this, but
about the attack on our men and women in uniform
that came days after the Seditious Six, dehumanizing our men
(01:08):
and women in uniform, our National guardsmen, and trying to
get them to revolt against Donald Trump. Now, before I
play that for you, every day, millions of children face
a crushing reality, a constant defeating message echoes and their
empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It is that you
don't matter. Poverty doesn't just steal food and shelter. It
(01:30):
steals hope, dignity, and the fundamental belief that they are loved.
But there's another message, one of boundless love and hope.
Through Compassion International, you can change the child's story forever.
You can sponsor child just like I do. You can
introduce them to a loving heavenly father. You can equip
them with education, healthcare and the support to overcome poverty.
(01:52):
This isn't just about one child. It's about transforming families,
revitalizing communities, and changing nations. It's about proving that every
child truly matters. So help give a child a future,
give them hope. Visit Compassion dot com today. That's Compassion
dot com. So take a listen to gop represent a
(02:14):
mass being asked the question by Trey Gouty about the
shooting in DC and the National Guardsman and then the
Traditions six and what their intent truly was.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I want to ask you your reaction to the passing
of one soldier and the grievous injury to another, leaving
your home to protect to other people. I know this
impacted you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Specialist Beckstrum gave her life and service to this country.
I think we all know that there's nothing that we
as a nation can do to repay when a service
member is killed in action. But I think we all
know there's more that we can do. I've spoken to
leadership in the House and I've asked them very specifically,
we need to start the tradition that any member of
the military killed in action, that we extend that they
(02:59):
be give in the opportunity to lie in state.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Beneath the dome of our capital.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think that's truly how we show as a nation
that we are a grateful nation.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Agreed, let me continue with that, and then I promise
I'm going to ask you about Ukraine. Arizona Senator Mark
Kelly said he had quote given too much to this
country to be silenced by bullies who care more about
their own power than prosecuting the constitution. Chairman, there are
few people still alive who gain more to this country
(03:28):
than you did. Do you feel bullied or forced to
violate the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
In no way, shape or form.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I also just returned from the golf where I was
speaking to many many service members down there. I can't
say how many, but many service members down there. They
couldn't be more proud than to be serving under the
Trump administration. Heard from countless of them that had President
Trump not one, they were going to exit the military,
whether retirement or just get out. They couldn't be more
proud to be serving there.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
As you bring it to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Kelly, despicable other members that did those videos about not
adhering to illegal orders despicable members because not one of
them was out there saying listen, I'm worried about you
as a service member that if you do this action,
you may end up in Fort Levenworth, making big rocks
into little rocks. None of them gave any examples of that.
They wanted one thing and one thing alone. They were
(04:19):
trying to create revolt within the United States Armed Forces,
which absolutely rises to the level under UCMJ for sedition.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Chairman. Wouldn't that be covered your basic training? I mean,
why do we need that cringe worthy video.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Every member of the military knows that they are responsible
for their actions, whether it's something that they decide to
do on their own in the heat of combat or
whether it is an order that is directed to them.
They are well aware that they are responsible for those actions.
And again, these individuals that made those that video, they
are despicable for what they did in trying to create
(04:55):
that revolt within our armed forces, where the job is
always and as we solve for Thanksgiving, it's frequently dead
that it cost the lives of our service member and
that's where they're trying to so despicable.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It is very clear that this was done to try
to create a revolt within the United States Armed Forces
that as he described, it absolutely rises to the level
under the UCMJ for sedition. Now the question becomes will
there be accountability for this. We also know that the
(05:29):
White House is having to play defense as Democrats are
coming after Donald Trump with another scandal. This time they're
saying that Donald Trump is not healthy, that he's not okay,
that something is wrong with Donald Trump. Donald Trump yet
again playing chess while the other side's playing checkers, and
(05:51):
the White House has come out as all this is
going on and said, yeah, we're going to release the
perfect Trump MRI result. So I'm not joking. This is
now a thing shaming Democrats who spread health trouble rumors
the White House releasing the results of President Trump's latest
(06:12):
MRI after failed vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz as well
as members of the establishment media called for the release
of an MRI. The same media that looked you straight
in the face and said there was no cognitive decline
of Joe Biden. So the establishment media, they jump on board.
They've been obsessed about Donald Trump, obsessed about the results.
(06:35):
After Trump revealed in October that he had an MRI,
which he says at the time came back perfect. This
has been a sticking point then for the left. Then
you had Governor Waltz even used it as a retort
after Trump referred to him as seriously and i'm quoting
retarded for his immigration policies in Minneapolis, Saint Paul and
(06:56):
the entire state for that matter. The speculation and then
went rampant as the left said, let's jump on this
and let's say that Donald Trump is trying to hide
something white else. Press Secretary Carolina Levitt sang during Monday's
press briefing that the team was released in results. As
she spoke and she read part of the summary from
(07:18):
Trump's physician, as she described the insanity of the left, sang,
quote I'll read it for you, and then you'll get
it physically as well. Reading from the summary, which explained
that Trump got the MRI because men in his age
group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascor and abdomamental health.
In all, the Commander in Chief's cardiovascor image was perfectly
(07:41):
normal quote unquote, and his cardiovascor system shows excellent health.
His abdominal imaging also was described as quote perfectly normal.
As part of the President's comprehensive executive physical advance, imaging
was performed because men his age group benefit from a
thorough evaluation of the cardiovascal and abdominal health. The purpose
(08:02):
of this imaging is preventative to identify any issues early,
confirm overall health, and ensure the present maintains long term
vitality and function, something we all could have wished for
from Joe Biden. President Trump's cardiovascar image was perfectly normal,
no evidence of ulterial narrowing, impairing blood flow, or abnoralities
(08:23):
in his heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are
normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy,
and there are no signs of inflation or clotting. Over All,
his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is
also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and
(08:43):
well perfused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with
no acute or chronic concerns. Quote. This level of detailed
assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age,
and confirm that he remained an excellent overall health. The
summary ads now. This release again comes days after Democrats,
(09:07):
led by Waltz emerges, one of the latest Democrats to
call for the MRI results after Trump insulted him. In
a recent True social post, Trump said, hundreds of thousands
of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once
great state of Minnesota. Somali and gangs are roving the
streets looking for prey, as our wonderful people stay locked
(09:30):
in their apartments and houses, hoping against hope that they
will be left alone, Trump said, before calling the Democratic
governor by name, saying, quote, this seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota,
Tim Waltz says nothing either. Through fear and competence or both,
while the worst congressman slash woman in the country, Elamo
mar always wrapped in her swaddling hijab. He continued on.
(09:54):
Of course, the left lost their minds with the presence tweet,
rather than defend his actual position, by the way, with substance,
what did Waltz respond with? Release the MRII results, which
is exactly what Donald Trump and the White House did. Now,
Waltz finds himself knee deep in controversy after hundreds, by
(10:15):
the way of state government workers have now come forward
accusing him of being responsible for a massive fraud in Minnesota.
I want to bring you to another important story that
deals with Governor of Minnesota Waltz. Hundreds of Minnesota government
workers have now accused the state's leftist radical governor, former
(10:38):
VP kenn At Tim Walls, of being responsible for the
biggest fraud case in the state's history. What is Tim
Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's saying Donald Trump
is insane and he wants his MRI release. Switch the
President did now. The statement came from over four hundred
(11:01):
individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services employees,
and the group claimed that it alerted Governor Tim Waltz,
the Democrat in charge, to the fraud in the early
stages of its discovery, but he allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers.
The statement they put out said this, Tim Waltz is
(11:23):
one hundred percent responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We
let Tim Waltz know of fraud early on, hoping for
a partnership and stopping fraud, but no, we got the
opposite response. Governor Waltz systematically retaliated against the whistleblowers, using
monitoring threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.
(11:46):
Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation
by Tim Waltz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media.
It's scary, isolating, and left us wondering who can we
turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz
(12:07):
disempowered the Office of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard
their audit findings and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting
Tim Waltz or the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who
are trying to raise red flags on the fraudulent activities.
(12:30):
The New York Times even has a headline now that
says how fraud swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim
Waltz's watch. Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a
group with growing political power, were largely responsible. President Trump
has drawn national intention to the scandal amid his crackdown
(12:52):
on immigration. Now, again, what I just read you is
from the actual New York Times. Not only that, but
a damninge on Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud
consuming Minnesota. Quote. No one was doing anything about the
red flags. It was like someone was stealing money from
the cookie jar and they kept refilling it. That is
(13:14):
again a line from the New York Times article. Now,
Somali's in Minnesota allegedly took millions and millions and millions
of dollars in state medicaid autism care programs. We talked
about this recently on the show, and then they sent
it to their native country and it's terrorist organizations. Again,
(13:35):
something that you knew about weeks ago if you listen
to this show. Breitbart News even report in July that
nearly one hundred autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated
for fraudulently billing medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed
with autism, most of it in connection with the rampantly
corrupt Somali community around Minneapolis, but the fraud is far
(13:58):
more widespread, with far more money involved than was previously reported,
all of which has been something that the Governor, Tim
Waltz knew about. The House Majority whip Tom Emmer, a
Republican from Minnesota, has since called for an investigation to
the millions of taxpayer dollars state taxpayer money literally going
(14:22):
directly to a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda known
as al Shabab, again something we expose on this show.
And despite the evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued
to support the Somali community why because they need their
votes now. In its post on x on Saturday, the
Minnesota DHS continued criticizing the governor, stating quote Fundamentally, Tim
(14:47):
Waltz is dishonest, lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities,
and has never taken any accountability for his role in
this fraud where tax dours went directly to terrorists, which
brings us to the media halfway covering this. NBC News
on Meet the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday,
(15:08):
and I want you to listen to how softbally they
were with him, and how they let Tim Waltz in essence,
not answer the question and somehow go back to attacking
Donald Trump when the fraud that has taken place in
a state was helping terrorists organizations.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Listen carefully, well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump
is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud
is the reason for his crackdown. Dozens of people of
East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for
stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from
government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, that is
(15:47):
more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department
of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance
to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing
to stop this fraud in your state?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Well, certainly I take responsible. If we're putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
We have to solve problems.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And I will note it's not just Somali's Minnesota is
a generous state. Minnesota's a prosperous days, a well run
state or triple A bond rated. But that attracts criminals.
Those people are going to jail. We're doing everything we can,
but to demonize an entire community on the actions of
a few, it's lazy. And as you heard Senator Kelly say,
this president has cut a lot of inspector generals. He's
(16:28):
cut programs that could help us tackle us on.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
So we are we'll take it on. We'll put folks
in jail.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I don't care what your nationality is, I don't care
who your religion is, your color, if you're committing crimes.
These are programs that were meant to serve students with autism,
to housing, and to making sure people had enough to eat.
There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty,
best place for children to live. People are taking advantage
that they're going to prison. That is totally disconnected with
(16:56):
demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing
civil war and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota
in this country better.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But that's Donald Trump deflec demonies.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Come up with no solutions he's not going to help
fix anything on fraud. My god, there's a big difference
between fraud and corruption, and corruption is something he knows
about well.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
The governor.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let
him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks
about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing
the money and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers
have now come out against the governor. Why did he
not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes.
(17:41):
The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali
voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block,
make no mistake about it. And so he was willing
to look the other way while the fraud was happening
because he thought it was worse politically. What's scary is
(18:02):
that guy was very close to becoming the vice president
of the United States of America. And what's even more
damning about what I just told you is the fact
that they knew where the money was going. It was
going to terrorists, The money was leaving the country. The
number of students that had autism and smally community was
(18:23):
absolutely insane. Compared to the rest of the world. The
statistics showed that there was a huge fraud. Everyone knew
that there was a huge fraud. More than four hundred
people that also, by the way, knew. This was not
a political thing. It was clearly a national security issue
(18:46):
and an issue of just corruption in a community that
the Democrats said, no, no, no, we need them, we need
their votes. So here we are Democrats saying, hey, we
actually think somehow you're about person. Mister President, you're on hedge.
We demand your MRI. That's their response to corruption and
(19:06):
fraud in Minnesota. Well, the President released it and says,
now it's your turn to answer questions. I'm just fine.
The question now is who will go to jail and
will there be any accountability at all for any of
those involved, that includes the governor in this investigation. We'll
(19:28):
keep you updated on it that, I can promise you.
President Trump on November the twenty first, had a fifteen
minute phone call with Venezuela and President Nicholas Maduro. You
may not know this because the holidays and the media
really didn't report it much. Well, we now know what
was said during that phone call. The President told Maduro
(19:52):
he had one week to leave Venezuela with his family.
Trump said he could go to a destination of his
choice and would be given a US guaranteed safe exit
for himself in close relatives if he complied. The ultimatum
has been summarized publicly as leave now, or faced the
(20:15):
consequences and the flee of the country, or in essence,
faced military action. Maduro's response in the call is a
little bit different. Reuters reported that Maduro pushed for full
amnesty in exchange for leaving legal immunity and lifting of
sanctions for himself, as family, and more than one hundred
(20:38):
officials dropping US and international cases, including at the ICC.
Trump rejected those demands and did not agree to any
broad amnesty package. But what Trump offered compared to what
he refused, is what really we should be talking about.
The President giving a real olive branch, giving safe passage
(21:01):
for Maduro and his immediate family if he steps down
and leaves quickly. What was refused is the amnesty and
lifting the sanctions on Maduro and over one hundred officials
accused of corruption, human rights abuses, and drug trafficking. Maduro's
idea that his vice president could run an interim government,
(21:23):
while he exit was also floated. Well, now we know
that there was an ultimatum, and the ultimatum has now passed.
Multiple reports say the one week window ran out technically
on Friday, November the twenty eighth. On Saturday. What we
know is airspace move after the deadline. After that deadline passed,
(21:48):
it was announced that Venezuelan airspace was closed and warned
all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and people to treat the
airspace over and around Venezuela as closed completely. That coming
from the US government, then there's been the public fallout.
Maduro disappeared from public view for a few days. He
(22:10):
then reappeared in Caracas on the thirtieth, giving a defiant speech,
claiming then as well as economy is indestructible and leading
pro government chance, the reality is that's not the case
on the ground. Trump also confirmed he spoke with Maduro,
but does not publicly spell out what the call actually
(22:31):
had in details, and most specifics came from leagues to
Reuters and the Miami Herald as well. Then something else
happened December first and into the night of the second.
What we know is there's been major pressure and military
as a real possibility. We also know that a large
(22:53):
US naval presence in the Caribbean and nearby waters has
been going on as part of a month long pressure campaign.
Members of Congress characterize this as the Panama two point zero,
saying Trump is taking the last responsible steps before a
potential operation to Alice Maduro, hoping that he is gone
(23:14):
by Christmas. As the latest reporting coming from the New
York Post, which brings me to the bigger question. There
are many Americans that do not want to invade. They
don't want this to turn into some sort of war.
But there's also the national security aspect of this. I
went on Newsmax to talk about this earlier, the politics
(23:38):
of this and what it means when it comes to
the American people. I want you to take a listen
to what I had to say on Finnerity Show about
exactly that.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Americans want to happen here. Do they want regime change
in Venezuela or do they think Donald Trump should be
focused on, you know, being the affordability president and being
focused on domestic issues here.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
Look, I think that's important.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But I think if you understand the number of people
that are dying from fetanyl overdoses, and how much of
that's coming through Venezuela. It's actually the top of the list.
If you look at just the numbers we have from
twenty twenty three, you had about one hundred and five
thousand overdoses in this country. Seventy four thousand of those
were from fetanyl. So this is what is killing Americans.
(24:20):
The number one killer of people forty three and under
in this country right now is overdose from fetanyl. So
this is killing countless Americans each and every day. That's
why it matters, and if the present talks about it
that way, not just a regime change, but I'm trying
to say the lives of people that have no intent
of overdosing and dying from fetanol. It's kinding a lot
(24:41):
of kids on college campuses, high school kids, and kids
out of college. It's the number one killer of young people.
That's how you frame it to the American people, and
I think that's why the present understands this is a
national security threat to us.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
It is a threat to our.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Young people and it has to stop.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
And he's giving him a chance to get out.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
This is not have to get ugly. You can flee
your country, but we're not going to lie to keep
killing Americans at record rates.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Yeah, death sentence though if he does flee, right general.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Pretty much that's what I see happening in his future regardless.
But you know, to what Ben's saying is, since nineteen
eighty we've had over one point five million deaths from
the illicit drug trade. And what President Trump is going
after is the whole, the whole shebang here, Rob He's
tapping into the cartels which go to every illicit activity
on this planet, shadow banking, illegal banking, all the money laundering,
(25:30):
all the trafficking, and on and on and on.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
General, just quickly, though United States is not of a
great record with regime change, think about Haiti, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan,
the Sudan. It creates a power vacuum. Who takes over
in Venezuela. What happens after that, Well, you've.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Got a lot of billionaires there who are going to
go into a period of chaos because they're going to
lose a lot of assets with our strikes. Cuba is
probably going to go into chaos, but the danger will
be here on Main Street because that's where the terrorists hesblah.
The cartel members. They're on every main street in America.
So we have to be alert, keep our head on
a swivel, and back up our first responders.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
And as far as we know, Maduro is still in
power right now in Venezuela. Ben By the way, I
think this is a domestic issue. I completely agree with you.
At one point, under Joe Biden all time high three hundred,
the number was two eighty seven overdose deats per day
in this country. A lot of that was coming from Venezuela,
a lot from China. No one ever brings up China.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This is a political question, it's also a national security question,
and I think it's pretty clear the President the United
States of America is making his case to all Americans.
This isn't about regime change as much as it is
about stopping the terraces from flooding this country with drugs.
I think the presidents also sending a very clear message
(26:46):
to other countries around the world, you better stop funneling
drugs into the United States of America. This is also
clearly a point that the President's trying to make to
Mexico that you could be next. Do not mess with us.
Stop allowing for the drugs to flow into your country
(27:08):
and then into the United States of America. I think
it's finally trying to send a message as well to
the cartels in Mexico that if you continue to send
your drugs into this country, we may come after you
in Mexico the same exact way that we went after
Maduro in Venezuela. So is it worth it? I think
(27:32):
the answer is overwhelmingly yes. Is this really about regime
change in general? No, this is about safety of Americans.
The number one as I mentioned there in that conversation
killer of young people in this country, those under the
age of forty, is overdose three hundred a day on
(27:54):
average in this country are being killed because of people
like Maduro who are flooding this country with pills laced
with fetnyl. This is the reason why the President's doing it,
and I think most Americans, once they understand this complex issue,
will continue to support and back the President, whether it's
(28:14):
going after these drugs smuggling boats, or making it clear
to people like Maduro that you cannot keep the power
you have if you're flooding the United States of America
with drugs that are killing Americans in the process. Don't

to you again tomorrow.
The big story that I want to start with today
is one that should make many of you frustrated, and
that is the Democrat I'm going to call them the
Seditious Six. They were trying to create a revolt within
the United States Armed Forces against President Donald Trump. This
now coming from Brian mass the Republican from Florida. He's
(00:23):
also the chairman of the House Florida Fairs Committee. He
said the propaganda video from the so called Seditious Six
Capitol Hill lawmakers was clearly intentionally an effort to create
a revolt within the US Armed Forces. According to the congressman,
such an indiscretion rises to the level of sedition under
(00:45):
the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Now, he went on
Trey Goudi, one of his former colleagues, in Congress's show
on Fox News Channel, and I want you to hear
what he had to say, not only about this, but
about the attack on our men and women in uniform
that came days after the Seditious Six, dehumanizing our men
(01:08):
and women in uniform, our National guardsmen, and trying to
get them to revolt against Donald Trump. Now, before I
play that for you, every day, millions of children face
a crushing reality, a constant defeating message echoes and their
empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It is that you

(02:14):
mass being asked the question by Trey Gouty about the
shooting in DC and the National Guardsman and then the
Traditions six and what their intent truly was.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I want to ask you your reaction to the passing
of one soldier and the grievous injury to another, leaving
your home to protect to other people. I know this
impacted you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Specialist Beckstrum gave her life and service to this country.
I think we all know that there's nothing that we
as a nation can do to repay when a service
member is killed in action. But I think we all
know there's more that we can do. I've spoken to
leadership in the House and I've asked them very specifically,
we need to start the tradition that any member of
the military killed in action, that we extend that they
(02:59):
be give in the opportunity to lie in state.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Beneath the dome of our capital.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think that's truly how we show as a nation
that we are a grateful nation.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Agreed, let me continue with that, and then I promise
I'm going to ask you about Ukraine. Arizona Senator Mark
Kelly said he had quote given too much to this
country to be silenced by bullies who care more about
their own power than prosecuting the constitution. Chairman, there are
few people still alive who gain more to this country
(03:28):
than you did. Do you feel bullied or forced to
violate the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
In no way, shape or form.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I also just returned from the golf where I was
speaking to many many service members down there. I can't
say how many, but many service members down there. They
couldn't be more proud than to be serving under the
Trump administration. Heard from countless of them that had President
Trump not one, they were going to exit the military,
whether retirement or just get out. They couldn't be more
proud to be serving there.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
As you bring it to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Kelly, despicable other members that did those videos about not
adhering to illegal orders despicable members because not one of
them was out there saying listen, I'm worried about you
as a service member that if you do this action,
you may end up in Fort Levenworth, making big rocks
into little rocks. None of them gave any examples of that.
They wanted one thing and one thing alone. They were
(04:19):
trying to create revolt within the United States Armed Forces,
which absolutely rises to the level under UCMJ for sedition.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Chairman. Wouldn't that be covered your basic training? I mean,
why do we need that cringe worthy video.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Every member of the military knows that they are responsible
for their actions, whether it's something that they decide to
do on their own in the heat of combat or
whether it is an order that is directed to them.
They are well aware that they are responsible for those actions.
And again, these individuals that made those that video, they
are despicable for what they did in trying to create
(04:55):
that revolt within our armed forces, where the job is
always and as we solve for Thanksgiving, it's frequently dead
that it cost the lives of our service member and
that's where they're trying to so despicable.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It is very clear that this was done to try
to create a revolt within the United States Armed Forces
that as he described, it absolutely rises to the level
under the UCMJ for sedition. Now the question becomes will
there be accountability for this. We also know that the
(05:29):
White House is having to play defense as Democrats are
coming after Donald Trump with another scandal. This time they're
saying that Donald Trump is not healthy, that he's not okay,
that something is wrong with Donald Trump. Donald Trump yet
again playing chess while the other side's playing checkers, and
(05:51):
the White House has come out as all this is
going on and said, yeah, we're going to release the
perfect Trump MRI result. So I'm not joking. This is
now a thing shaming Democrats who spread health trouble rumors
the White House releasing the results of President Trump's latest
(06:12):
MRI after failed vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz as well
as members of the establishment media called for the release
of an MRI. The same media that looked you straight
in the face and said there was no cognitive decline
of Joe Biden. So the establishment media, they jump on board.
They've been obsessed about Donald Trump, obsessed about the results.
(06:35):
After Trump revealed in October that he had an MRI,
which he says at the time came back perfect. This
has been a sticking point then for the left. Then
you had Governor Waltz even used it as a retort
after Trump referred to him as seriously and i'm quoting
retarded for his immigration policies in Minneapolis, Saint Paul and
(06:56):
the entire state for that matter. The speculation and then
went rampant as the left said, let's jump on this
and let's say that Donald Trump is trying to hide
something white else. Press Secretary Carolina Levitt sang during Monday's
press briefing that the team was released in results. As
she spoke and she read part of the summary from
(07:18):
Trump's physician, as she described the insanity of the left, sang,
quote I'll read it for you, and then you'll get
it physically as well. Reading from the summary, which explained
that Trump got the MRI because men in his age
group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascor and abdomamental health.
In all, the Commander in Chief's cardiovascor image was perfectly
(07:41):
normal quote unquote, and his cardiovascor system shows excellent health.
His abdominal imaging also was described as quote perfectly normal.
As part of the President's comprehensive executive physical advance, imaging
was performed because men his age group benefit from a
thorough evaluation of the cardiovascal and abdominal health. The purpose
(08:02):
of this imaging is preventative to identify any issues early,
confirm overall health, and ensure the present maintains long term
vitality and function, something we all could have wished for
from Joe Biden. President Trump's cardiovascar image was perfectly normal,
no evidence of ulterial narrowing, impairing blood flow, or abnoralities
(08:23):
in his heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are
normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy,
and there are no signs of inflation or clotting. Over All,
his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is
also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and
(08:43):
well perfused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with
no acute or chronic concerns. Quote. This level of detailed
assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age,
and confirm that he remained an excellent overall health. The
summary ads now. This release again comes days after Democrats,
(09:07):
led by Waltz emerges, one of the latest Democrats to
call for the MRI results after Trump insulted him. In
a recent True social post, Trump said, hundreds of thousands
of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once
great state of Minnesota. Somali and gangs are roving the
streets looking for prey, as our wonderful people stay locked
(09:30):
in their apartments and houses, hoping against hope that they
will be left alone, Trump said, before calling the Democratic
governor by name, saying, quote, this seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota,
Tim Waltz says nothing either. Through fear and competence or both,
while the worst congressman slash woman in the country, Elamo
mar always wrapped in her swaddling hijab. He continued on.
(09:54):
Of course, the left lost their minds with the presence tweet,
rather than defend his actual position, by the way, with substance,
what did Waltz respond with? Release the MRII results, which
is exactly what Donald Trump and the White House did. Now,
Waltz finds himself knee deep in controversy after hundreds, by
(10:15):
the way of state government workers have now come forward
accusing him of being responsible for a massive fraud in Minnesota.
I want to bring you to another important story that
deals with Governor of Minnesota Waltz. Hundreds of Minnesota government
workers have now accused the state's leftist radical governor, former
(10:38):
VP kenn At Tim Walls, of being responsible for the
biggest fraud case in the state's history. What is Tim
Waltz saying about it? Oh, well, he's saying Donald Trump
is insane and he wants his MRI release. Switch the
President did now. The statement came from over four hundred
(11:01):
individuals in the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services employees,
and the group claimed that it alerted Governor Tim Waltz,
the Democrat in charge, to the fraud in the early
stages of its discovery, but he allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers.
The statement they put out said this, Tim Waltz is
(11:23):
one hundred percent responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We
let Tim Waltz know of fraud early on, hoping for
a partnership and stopping fraud, but no, we got the
opposite response. Governor Waltz systematically retaliated against the whistleblowers, using
monitoring threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.
(11:46):
Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation
by Tim Waltz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media.
It's scary, isolating, and left us wondering who can we
turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblowers, Tim Waltz
(12:07):
disempowered the Office of Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard
their audit findings and their guidance. Media and politicians supporting
Tim Waltz or the DFL agenda attacked the whistleblowers who
are trying to raise red flags on the fraudulent activities.
(12:30):
The New York Times even has a headline now that
says how fraud swamp Minnesota's social services system on Tim
Waltz's watch. Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a
group with growing political power, were largely responsible. President Trump
has drawn national intention to the scandal amid his crackdown
(12:52):
on immigration. Now, again, what I just read you is
from the actual New York Times. Not only that, but
a damninge on Tim waltz failure to stop the fraud
consuming Minnesota. Quote. No one was doing anything about the
red flags. It was like someone was stealing money from
the cookie jar and they kept refilling it. That is
(13:14):
again a line from the New York Times article. Now,
Somali's in Minnesota allegedly took millions and millions and millions
of dollars in state medicaid autism care programs. We talked
about this recently on the show, and then they sent
it to their native country and it's terrorist organizations. Again,
(13:35):
something that you knew about weeks ago if you listen
to this show. Breitbart News even report in July that
nearly one hundred autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated
for fraudulently billing medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed
with autism, most of it in connection with the rampantly
corrupt Somali community around Minneapolis, but the fraud is far
(13:58):
more widespread, with far more money involved than was previously reported,
all of which has been something that the Governor, Tim
Waltz knew about. The House Majority whip Tom Emmer, a
Republican from Minnesota, has since called for an investigation to
the millions of taxpayer dollars state taxpayer money literally going
(14:22):
directly to a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda known
as al Shabab, again something we expose on this show.
And despite the evidence of fraud, State Democrats have continued
to support the Somali community why because they need their
votes now. In its post on x on Saturday, the
Minnesota DHS continued criticizing the governor, stating quote Fundamentally, Tim
(14:47):
Waltz is dishonest, lax ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities,
and has never taken any accountability for his role in
this fraud where tax dours went directly to terrorists, which
brings us to the media halfway covering this. NBC News
on Meet the Press had Tim Waltz on on Sunday,
(15:08):
and I want you to listen to how softbally they
were with him, and how they let Tim Waltz in essence,
not answer the question and somehow go back to attacking
Donald Trump when the fraud that has taken place in
a state was helping terrorists organizations.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Listen carefully, well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump
is targeting them and your state and party, citing fraud
is the reason for his crackdown. Dozens of people of
East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for
stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from
government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, that is
(15:47):
more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department
of Corrections. So I want to give you a chance
to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing
to stop this fraud in your state?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Well, certainly I take responsible. If we're putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
We have to solve problems.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And I will note it's not just Somali's Minnesota is
a generous state. Minnesota's a prosperous days, a well run
state or triple A bond rated. But that attracts criminals.
Those people are going to jail. We're doing everything we can,
but to demonize an entire community on the actions of
a few, it's lazy. And as you heard Senator Kelly say,
this president has cut a lot of inspector generals. He's
(16:28):
cut programs that could help us tackle us on.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
So we are we'll take it on. We'll put folks
in jail.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I don't care what your nationality is, I don't care
who your religion is, your color, if you're committing crimes.
These are programs that were meant to serve students with autism,
to housing, and to making sure people had enough to eat.
There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty,
best place for children to live. People are taking advantage
that they're going to prison. That is totally disconnected with
(16:56):
demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing
civil war and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota
in this country better.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But that's Donald Trump deflec demonies.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Come up with no solutions he's not going to help
fix anything on fraud. My god, there's a big difference
between fraud and corruption, and corruption is something he knows
about well.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
The governor.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You notice she didn't interdrupt him one time. She let
him put out the lives and the propaganda. He talks
about people getting arrested when he was the one allowing
the money and the whistleblowers were targeted. Four hundred workers
have now come out against the governor. Why did he
not act? It's very clear he needs the Somali votes.
(17:41):
The Democratic Party has sold their soul to the Somali
voting block in Minnesota, and it's a large voting block,
make no mistake about it. And so he was willing
to look the other way while the fraud was happening
because he thought it was worse politically. What's scary is
(18:02):
that guy was very close to becoming the vice president
of the United States of America. And what's even more
damning about what I just told you is the fact
that they knew where the money was going. It was
going to terrorists, The money was leaving the country. The
number of students that had autism and smally community was
(18:23):
absolutely insane. Compared to the rest of the world. The
statistics showed that there was a huge fraud. Everyone knew
that there was a huge fraud. More than four hundred
people that also, by the way, knew. This was not
a political thing. It was clearly a national security issue
(18:46):
and an issue of just corruption in a community that
the Democrats said, no, no, no, we need them, we need
their votes. So here we are Democrats saying, hey, we
actually think somehow you're about person. Mister President, you're on hedge.
We demand your MRI. That's their response to corruption and
(19:06):
fraud in Minnesota. Well, the President released it and says,
now it's your turn to answer questions. I'm just fine.
The question now is who will go to jail and
will there be any accountability at all for any of
those involved, that includes the governor in this investigation. We'll
(19:28):
keep you updated on it that, I can promise you.
President Trump on November the twenty first, had a fifteen
minute phone call with Venezuela and President Nicholas Maduro. You
may not know this because the holidays and the media
really didn't report it much. Well, we now know what
was said during that phone call. The President told Maduro
(19:52):
he had one week to leave Venezuela with his family.
Trump said he could go to a destination of his
choice and would be given a US guaranteed safe exit
for himself in close relatives if he complied. The ultimatum
has been summarized publicly as leave now, or faced the
(20:15):
consequences and the flee of the country, or in essence,
faced military action. Maduro's response in the call is a
little bit different. Reuters reported that Maduro pushed for full
amnesty in exchange for leaving legal immunity and lifting of
sanctions for himself, as family, and more than one hundred
(20:38):
officials dropping US and international cases, including at the ICC.
Trump rejected those demands and did not agree to any
broad amnesty package. But what Trump offered compared to what
he refused, is what really we should be talking about.
The President giving a real olive branch, giving safe passage
(21:01):
for Maduro and his immediate family if he steps down
and leaves quickly. What was refused is the amnesty and
lifting the sanctions on Maduro and over one hundred officials
accused of corruption, human rights abuses, and drug trafficking. Maduro's
idea that his vice president could run an interim government,
(21:23):
while he exit was also floated. Well, now we know
that there was an ultimatum, and the ultimatum has now passed.
Multiple reports say the one week window ran out technically
on Friday, November the twenty eighth. On Saturday. What we
know is airspace move after the deadline. After that deadline passed,
(21:48):
it was announced that Venezuelan airspace was closed and warned
all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and people to treat the
airspace over and around Venezuela as closed completely. That coming
from the US government, then there's been the public fallout.
Maduro disappeared from public view for a few days. He
(22:10):
then reappeared in Caracas on the thirtieth, giving a defiant speech,
claiming then as well as economy is indestructible and leading
pro government chance, the reality is that's not the case
on the ground. Trump also confirmed he spoke with Maduro,
but does not publicly spell out what the call actually
(22:31):
had in details, and most specifics came from leagues to
Reuters and the Miami Herald as well. Then something else
happened December first and into the night of the second.
What we know is there's been major pressure and military
as a real possibility. We also know that a large
(22:53):
US naval presence in the Caribbean and nearby waters has
been going on as part of a month long pressure campaign.
Members of Congress characterize this as the Panama two point zero,
saying Trump is taking the last responsible steps before a
potential operation to Alice Maduro, hoping that he is gone
(23:14):
by Christmas. As the latest reporting coming from the New
York Post, which brings me to the bigger question. There
are many Americans that do not want to invade. They
don't want this to turn into some sort of war.
But there's also the national security aspect of this. I
went on Newsmax to talk about this earlier, the politics
(23:38):
of this and what it means when it comes to
the American people. I want you to take a listen
to what I had to say on Finnerity Show about
exactly that.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Americans want to happen here. Do they want regime change
in Venezuela or do they think Donald Trump should be
focused on, you know, being the affordability president and being
focused on domestic issues here.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
Look, I think that's important.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But I think if you understand the number of people
that are dying from fetanyl overdoses, and how much of
that's coming through Venezuela. It's actually the top of the list.
If you look at just the numbers we have from
twenty twenty three, you had about one hundred and five
thousand overdoses in this country. Seventy four thousand of those
were from fetanyl. So this is what is killing Americans.
(24:20):
The number one killer of people forty three and under
in this country right now is overdose from fetanyl. So
this is killing countless Americans each and every day. That's
why it matters, and if the present talks about it
that way, not just a regime change, but I'm trying
to say the lives of people that have no intent
of overdosing and dying from fetanol. It's kinding a lot
(24:41):
of kids on college campuses, high school kids, and kids
out of college. It's the number one killer of young people.
That's how you frame it to the American people, and
I think that's why the present understands this is a
national security threat to us.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
It is a threat to our.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Young people and it has to stop.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
And he's giving him a chance to get out.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
This is not have to get ugly. You can flee
your country, but we're not going to lie to keep
killing Americans at record rates.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Yeah, death sentence though if he does flee, right general.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Pretty much that's what I see happening in his future regardless.
But you know, to what Ben's saying is, since nineteen
eighty we've had over one point five million deaths from
the illicit drug trade. And what President Trump is going
after is the whole, the whole shebang here, Rob He's
tapping into the cartels which go to every illicit activity
on this planet, shadow banking, illegal banking, all the money laundering,
(25:30):
all the trafficking, and on and on and on.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
General, just quickly, though United States is not of a
great record with regime change, think about Haiti, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan,
the Sudan. It creates a power vacuum. Who takes over
in Venezuela. What happens after that, Well, you've.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Got a lot of billionaires there who are going to
go into a period of chaos because they're going to
lose a lot of assets with our strikes. Cuba is
probably going to go into chaos, but the danger will
be here on Main Street because that's where the terrorists hesblah.
The cartel members. They're on every main street in America.
So we have to be alert, keep our head on
a swivel, and back up our first responders.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
And as far as we know, Maduro is still in
power right now in Venezuela. Ben By the way, I
think this is a domestic issue. I completely agree with you.
At one point, under Joe Biden all time high three hundred,
the number was two eighty seven overdose deats per day
in this country. A lot of that was coming from Venezuela,
a lot from China. No one ever brings up China.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This is a political question, it's also a national security question,
and I think it's pretty clear the President the United
States of America is making his case to all Americans.
This isn't about regime change as much as it is
about stopping the terraces from flooding this country with drugs.
I think the presidents also sending a very clear message
(26:46):
to other countries around the world, you better stop funneling
drugs into the United States of America. This is also
clearly a point that the President's trying to make to
Mexico that you could be next. Do not mess with us.
Stop allowing for the drugs to flow into your country
(27:08):
and then into the United States of America. I think
it's finally trying to send a message as well to
the cartels in Mexico that if you continue to send
your drugs into this country, we may come after you
in Mexico the same exact way that we went after
Maduro in Venezuela. So is it worth it? I think
(27:32):
the answer is overwhelmingly yes. Is this really about regime
change in general? No, this is about safety of Americans.
The number one as I mentioned there in that conversation
killer of young people in this country, those under the
age of forty, is overdose three hundred a day on
(27:54):
average in this country are being killed because of people
like Maduro who are flooding this country with pills laced
with fetnyl. This is the reason why the President's doing it,
and I think most Americans, once they understand this complex issue,
will continue to support and back the President, whether it's
(28:14):
going after these drugs smuggling boats, or making it clear
to people like Maduro that you cannot keep the power
you have if you're flooding the United States of America
with drugs that are killing Americans in the process. Don't

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
