Are we going to repeat history? Minnesota SBA fraud isn't about racism against the Somali community; it's about people stealing your hard-earned tax dollars to enrich themselves. Tampon Tim Walz isn't doing anything to get to the bottom of it. Trump's approval rating and why this doesn't have to be a bad year despite the Democrat wave predictions. Voter registration trends. What the More Affordable Care Act and Trumpcare mean to you. The suspicious story about the daycare center that was broken into and how the only thing stolen were the records. The thieves knew exactly where to find these records too. How is it that there's over eight billion of fraud in one state? The daycare fraud story is a perfect example of why we need smaller government. We have way too many government agencies (430) and it's time to cut a lot of programs. Don't wait for an election cycle to educate people in your life about politics and why policy decisions matter. HUD Secretary Scott Turner on the Minn daycare fraud story and how there was abuse of power at so many different levels. This could be a great year, but you have to turn out come election time. Vote.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The SBA says it uncovered what it says is widespread
suspected fraud in COVID related loans SBA administrator posting and
part quote. In total, these borrowers were approved for seven
nine hundred PPP and economic injury disaster loans worth approximately
four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, that is Fox is Sheenley Painter. The Somali daycare
fraud in Minnesota, the onion where every layer you feel back,
it's like, oh but wait, there's more. Yeah around trip.
The potential we've heard for maybe up to eight billion
dollars in fraud that took place going back to twenty eighteen.
The potential is remarkable. It's spectacular. And the smallies continuing
(00:44):
to hide behind the we're victims. We're victims in this situation,
including the breaking that took place at one of the facilities.
It's just absolutely ridiculous. So many people that think you
are stupid, but we can't give the the reason to
think we're stupid, like letting history repeat itself. Hey there,
(01:06):
Brian Mudd here for claim Buck. It is always an
honor and a pleasure to have the opportunity with you.
Happy New Year, A broadcast from my home station w
jn NO in West Palm Beach, not too far from
El President day in mar A Laga, where he has
been busy straight through the holidays. When he's not on
d C, he's working every bit as hard as when
(01:27):
he's in d C. I mean, the folks coming in
and out of mar A Lago NonStop, including crediting President
za Lenski last Sunday, and you had Prime Minister and
Yahoo in on Monday, and constant work despite the Wall
Street Journal report. Hey, Trump's shut his eyes in a
meeting once you know what that means. He's old. He
(01:49):
can't get jokers, I mean just absolute jokers. So a
couple of things, A couple of things as we dive
in a one just specific to you're hearing one of
the newest revelations about the SBA fraud as part of
the whole Somali scheme. There what federal program that administered
COVID funds wasn't abused overwhelmingly? Name one go. And it's
(02:15):
kind of the point about government generally. What is it
the government gets right? What is it that it does well?
Not a whole heck of a lot, which is why
it's best when it stays out of our way, you know,
protect us, make sure that we can live our lives
and otherwise pretty good shape. Right And so as you,
for example, had people that are saying, well, yeah, but
(02:36):
those COVID era subsidies, the ACA subsidies, they expired, and
now that's really expensive. Well that's because it always was.
The difference is for the people the ninety two percent
of policies that were subsidized eighty percent of the total
cost of the ACA policies, the exchange based policies being
(02:59):
paid for by everybody else. That didn't make it okay.
It doesn't make it okay. It's just like the socialism
getting ready to experience in New York City with Mom Donnie.
It doesn't make it okay when other people who are
having a hard time affording their health care are made
to pay for your health care if you're on an
(03:19):
exchange based policy too. The crisis always was Obamacare, and
it's all part of the bigger storyline here. Are we
going to continue down the path of success or are
we going to repeat history like we did in twenty eighteen.
Take for granted, everything that President Trump was doing was
(03:40):
working on and reluctantly back in those days. Republicans too. Republicans,
despite the narrow majority, have actually been far more effective
through the first eleven plus months of the Trump administration
than they were the first time around. But are we
going to take it for granted and just let this
thing fall apart? So I've got the roadmap here for
you about why this does not have to look like
(04:01):
twenty eighteen, about how if those who voted for Trump
simply get their butts out there are in votes for
those who support more or less Trump's policies, things can
really be better than they've ever been, the unprecedented success
that I've been talking about throughout the course of today's show.
So you have an option. You can let Democrats take
(04:22):
control this year and to January next year in the midterms,
and then spend two years in peaching Trump and then
attempting to screw you in the process too. Or you
can control what you can control what did not happen
in twenty eighteen. So let me start with the improved news.
(04:44):
On that note, as we take a look at where
we had been where we are today now. The first
thing is, and you can only read so much into
any of this stuff, but it's still an apple sapples comparison.
If you take a look at President Trump's average approval rating,
so the Real Clear Politics pulling to average his approval
(05:06):
on this date back in twenty eighteen, his approval rating
today is three points higher than it was. Okay, so
that's something start from a little bit better of a base. There.
There are a few more people that are awake at
the wheel than were at that point, and if a
lot of the three points translated into votes, that would
(05:27):
make a difference in a lot of close selections congressionally
throughout the course of this year. But wait, there's more,
because this is actually the more encouraging element, especially since
we're talking about congressional races. On the generic ballot, Republicans
are nine points better off than they were on this
(05:49):
date in twenty eighteen. Okay, so generic ballot, Hey, if
you had to vote today, would you go for a
Democrat or a Republican? The Real Clear Politics average Republicans
are nine points better off than on this date back
in twenty eighteen. If you started taking a look at
how many elections would have worked out differently during what
(06:11):
turned out to basically be a wave election for Democrats
back in twenty eighteen, things would have looked vastly different
if you had a nine points wing across the country. Okay,
so this is the first thing, just to kind of
informationally put in front of you. President Trump is starting
from a better position in terms of public perception than
(06:34):
he was at the same station as first term Congression Republicans,
despite themselves at times, they've been led well enough by
Trump that people are like, yeah, I may not like them,
but a take a look at those Democrats, man, I
certainly don't want to be associated with those people. So
in part because Democrats have managed to embrace socialists and
(07:00):
have managed to pretty much second life as a party
at this point, going Hey, if only Kamala Harris had
more time. Here's mom, Donnie. Let's travel down this path
with our politicians going forward, Gavin Newsom taking the reigns
and maybe becoming the face of the Democrat party. Republicans
nine points better off generic ballot than twenty eighteen. This
(07:25):
does not have to be a bad year for Republicans.
This doesn't have to be a repeat of what we
saw back then. We can take advantage of the unprecedented
success that we're set up for. So first thing is,
despite the many predictions that you see of a democratic
wave this year, the numbers that are out there right
(07:46):
now do tell a different story. You know, a heck
of a long way before a lot of these elections
are going to be taking place. But again, it's a
better base to be operating from. Another really important note,
because polls or polls right, they're worthway you pay for them.
But the hard voter registration information, this one, to me
is the single most instructive read on where we're starting
(08:11):
compared to where we have been previously favored stat probably
just share politics five. Did you know that Democrats lost
ground in every single state that tracks partisan voter registration information?
(08:31):
Democrats lost ground last year in an off election year.
And one of the things is most people don't pay
attention to voter registration information and off election years for
the obvious reasons it's an off election year. But what
we have historically seen is that off election year intent
and a lot of people just take a look at
(08:52):
the special elections and Republicans did not perform well. Democrats
really outperformed in special elections that took place last year,
which is all part of the reason why we can't
be stupid this year because people didn't show up and vote.
People voted for Trump then didn't show up to vote
in these special elections last year to Democrats who put
poured in all kinds of resources, even in local races,
(09:13):
ended up really outperforming last year. But when you take
a look at the broader electorate, after the twenty twenty
four performance, the performance that allowed Trump to win his
commanding victory, that allowed him to win convincingly the popular
(09:33):
vote as well, that allowed Republicans to assume control of Congress,
Democrats lost ground after that November performance in twenty twenty four.
All throughout the course last year, two Republicans by way
of voter registration, and every single state that tracks Parson
(09:54):
voter registration information, and you have eleven states that do
it pretty actively, you have all in thirty the providedly
some information and so it's scattered, it's not but the
themes are there. And it was true in blue states,
it was true in red states. It was true in
your big time swing states. And one of the things
(10:16):
that is still odd to me as I'm in South Florida,
although I predicted that this would always eventually happen. Is
that being in a place where Florida, my home state,
used to be the ultimate swing state and now in
the eyes of money is the ultimate red state. You
could track this off election year information, the voter registration information,
(10:37):
which Florida updates monthly, and you could really see where
things would be heading in a subsequent election cycle. There's
always been a connection between the two. So that is
a very powerful, very powerful stack that Democrats have lost
ground in every single state that tracks parts in registration information,
(10:59):
which this probably means that hey, if other states had it,
that probably would have watched there too. How bad was
it for Democrats last year? Okay, so if you take
a look at the litter registration information in those states,
it was the worst off election year performance net performance
Democrats Republicans that the Democrat donkey has had since nineteen
(11:22):
ninety eight. You have to go back to ninety eight
to find the last time that Democrats performed as poorly
against Republicans in a single year. In that also helps
tell a story. Now, a lot of the historic norms,
of course, do favor Democrats heading into this year. The
(11:42):
party opposite the president midterm elections has historically done the best,
very rare. Only a few times actually since the advent
of the two party system have you had the president's
party gain seats in midterm elections. But again it has
happened a few times. So the base that's better. Here,
the voter registration trends, the pulling information both for Trump
(12:07):
and for Republicans on a generic ballot compared to Democrat,
they're all pulling in the same direction. So that is
some really encouraging news. And that's the starting point for
the encouraging news. I have more of it, come it
up next. I'm Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Stories of Freedom, Stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Unfortunately, we saw that there was employee documentation enrollment of
the children and also employee documentation that was gone. They
were also check our rifts from our check papers are
from our book.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All right, stunning, stunning, Oh my gosh. They're victims the
uh Somali daycare centers there, they are real victims in
all of this. They are are not in any way
responsible for not only the rampant fraud that is being
(13:30):
uncovered that's gone on for years. They're victims because people
don't break in and steal records. That happened to be
the manager of one of the the daycare facilities, so
of course the the one robbed. They were robbed. People
wanted to get those records. You know, there have been
a lot of mean things that were said about the
Somali criminals. I'm sorry, these Somalis that were running these
(13:53):
these facilities, and so people wanted to get in there
and just not convenient adult that those records were tolen
and there's a checkbook took. You know, they took a
checkbook because you got to find some kind of motive.
Why so there's got to be a financial angle. I'm
sure they're going to write out a bunch of checks.
They just they think you're stupid. They really do think
(14:16):
you're stupid. But then again, if you're in these smallies,
anytime anybody had shown any kind of critical attention to
you for years, now, what have you done. You're a racist?
You want to investigate me, you're racist? Oh okay, you're right,
So we'll just let you continue to commit fraud. So
I guess they, you know, have been conditioned that enough
(14:36):
people are stupid. But that only works in Minnesota because
when you have timpon walls, he might be stupid. His
administration might be stupid. Else in the ag there might
be stupid. They might be complicit too, We'll wait and see.
But the rest of us in these states United, not
necessarily stupid, not necessarily maybe screwed. Like if you're in
(14:58):
New York City and you've got mom Donnie, or if
you're in California and you've been successful and you now
get success subjected to the wealth tax on top of
everything else. That has a lot of wealthy people in
California thinking, you know what I need to get out
of there this year. Hey there, Brian mud in for
claim Buck, And what I have been doing throughout the
(15:19):
course of the show today is kind of paying the
picture about how we're set up for unprecedented success this year,
but also how important it is that we do not
take this mitterm election year for granted. Now, we don't
wait until the elections are on us and then have
people on the right that are scrambling because Trump's name
is not on the ballot, and I don't like this
(15:42):
Republican in my district. He didn't do what I wanted
to do on this thing, and so I'm gonna let
a comedy get in there instead. I mean, that makes
sense taking a look at the roadmap for things to
be a lot better, and I've laid out these significant
differences that we see over where we were on this
date in Trump's first term versus where we are this time,
(16:04):
along with a lot more success that we're set up
for than even Trump's first term. And as we recall,
things ended up being pretty great right before the pandemic.
And so as we take a look at a lot
of the areas of improvement, one of the most significant
happens to be voter registration changes where we have that information.
(16:24):
As I like to say, there are two sides of stories,
one side of facts. Well, the facts of the matter
show that we have had in these states that collect
voter registration information, Democrats lose about one point four percent
of their voters, while Republicans have gained just under a
half percent new voters in those states. So, on top
of everything else, the off election year, he had about
(16:46):
a two points wing in voter registrations two of Republicans
over where we were coming out of November twenty twenty four.
The conditions are there, We've got to take advantage of it.
Brian Muddin proclaimed, Buck Kleet, Travis and Buck Sexton on
the front lines of the truth.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Deacas. And this is very sad used that one individual
we made a false claim about fraud that is happening
in the decays. How engage everyone else to.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Come and do this to us?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, there is nothing to see here, folks, not the
the the the expose of what's happening here. That's what's
to blame. You know, you you have a journalist who
takes a video of what's actually taking place, you'd be
like the CNN reporter who more interested in trying to
(17:44):
take to take down an investigative journalists than than actually
massive fraud that's been playing out in the state of
Minnesota with the daycare facilities. Uh the that again, the
the manager of one of the facilities, one that was
broken into allegedly it just happened to know, well where
(18:05):
the records were, just one of the records. That's you know,
who wouldn't break in to a daycare facility to get records.
I mean, that's uh huh. But again nothing to see
their folks, nothing at all. And as we say, actually,
let's say we got before I get back to the
(18:28):
roadmap here for twenty twenty six, unprecedented success politically got
Bob who wants to weigh in on this? On the
Somali daycare scandal in Minnesota? Bob, right here in West
Palm Beach, can't be too far away. Welcome to the show, yep, sir,
How are you doing today? All good, Bob? How about you?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm doing pretty good? Since when are daycare is federally funded?
I've got two twin girls that are registered in daycare
and we're paying eight hundred dollars per chihlo per month,
and there's probably about seventy to seventy five other parents
paying the same and that's what funds the daycare. So
(19:11):
why are federal funds even being involved, legitimate or not
in the day cares?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well, you just need to get yourself on a federal
government programs. That's where the issue comes down.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I hear what you're saying, Bob, and thank you for
the call. So it's through DCF when we start talking
about the government. The federal funding of these types of things.
You have what is known as the Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families program, and that is the lion's share of
where this money comes in. And to give you an idea,
(19:46):
the most recent year, huge money, huge money. The federal
government spent over twenty five billion dollars in these types
of programs over the past year. It's one of the reasons.
You take a look at Minnesota and you're like, hold on,
this is not a particularly big state, and the estimates
run as high as eight billion dollars in fraud, Like,
(20:08):
how could that be possible? And one not terribly big
state that goes back to twenty eighteen, and we'll see
where the ball lands might not be that high. But
how could there be up to eight billion dollars in
fraud in one state over the previous seven years. Well,
it's because if you take a look at the annualized
spending just on these childcare in early childhood education programs
(20:31):
that are funded through the federal government coming in at
over twenty five billion dollars a year, and that is
how and you take a look at the accountability, you
take a look at the fraud I mean, look, there
are so many reasons why it makes sense to cut
(20:51):
the federal government, to have limited federal government, but this
is one of the biggest right here, because what happens
when you have all these unaccountable agencies. You know, there
are four hundred and thirty federal government agencies, four hundred
and thirty. And what I've always said is I would
love to get every single member of Congress together, put
them in a room, take away their cell phones. Okay,
(21:14):
so no internet access, give them a full day, so
you get five hundred and thirty five folks together, or
however many are not retired or dead or what have you,
at any given time, get them all together, the five
hundred plus that would be there, and let them even
converse amongst themselves. I'm fine with that, But no Internet.
(21:37):
And if even one member, one member of Congress, votes
or can even name the government agency, then it stays.
If even one person could just name the government agency,
it would say, how many of the four hundred and
(21:59):
thirty federal government ad agencies do you think would be gonza?
And that's kind of part of the bigger point, you know.
One of the things, as we recently went through the
longest partial government shut down in American history. I mean,
had it not been for the issues we ended up
having with air traffic control, for the most part, nobody
noticed anything. And even then I was doing analysis on that,
(22:21):
you know, longest partial government shut down in American history.
You know what percentage of Americans even felt it at
any point, any aspect of it. It only got up
to about twenty seven percent, and a lot of that
was on the travel side, along with the federal government
employees themselves. And so even with the longest partial government
shutdown in history, he still didn't even get to a
point where seventy percent of Americans seven and ten had
(22:43):
any idea was happening if it hadn't been in the news.
It gives you an idea about how bloated and ridiculous
the federal government is. And my biggest lament about partial
government shutdowns is that we haven't done more to try
to make them permanent. But yeah, this is the biggest thing.
We administering all of this money that is funneled by
the federal govern two states, then states that could be
corrupt or unaccountable, like Minnesota, and then down to whoever
(23:07):
is supposed to be responsible for these programs that then
administer it to the individual daycare facilities. That's how all
that nonsense ends up going down. And of course that's
true in so many other programs, which is why we
have so much fraud, and especially when we had all
that COVID money that is involved. All Right, So talking
(23:27):
about the roadmap here for this midterm election year to
be different than your typical midterm election, which means that
the president's party gets waxed typically in those midterm elections,
and specifically about how to not repeat the history we
had in twenty eighteen when President Trump was setting us
(23:51):
up for all kinds of success that eventually we're like,
oh yeah, this is pretty darn good right before the
pandemic hit. We're set up for even more success as
it will be felt progressively throughout the course of this
year and then again next year. How not to take
that for granted? Walking through a lot of the voter
registration information in addition to the polling information that's out there,
(24:14):
and everything's been pointing in the same direction, despite how
a lot of the special elections went last year, which
Democrats had really strong performances relatively speaking. The problem is
ultimately that people that voted for Trump didn't get out
there and vote. And that's what this really gets down to,
is not taking this stuff for granted. So the last
(24:35):
thing I left you with was that if you take
a look at the on a percentage basis in states
where we have voter registration information available, the changes that
we saw last year. So this is after the results
of the twenty twenty four election cycle, Democrats lost one
point four percent of the registered voters last year. Republicans,
(24:59):
add did about three tenths of one percent to the ranks.
So that you net that out and you have a
near two point advantage in registered voters for Republicans over
where we were this time a year ago. President trump
Is approval rating is the is three points higher than
(25:21):
it was at the same point back in twenty eighteen.
Very importantly, the generic ballot Republicans performing nine points better
than Democrats at the same stage in twenty eighteen. Then
you started taking a look at some of the individual states,
so you know, mentioned that really good information only available
in you know, select states. Take a look at places
(25:44):
like Arizona, for example, big swing state right Republicans net
of Democrats about one hundred thousand voters better off than
they were a year ago. This time. Even in California, Republicans,
who over one hundred thousand voters bet are off than
they were this time a year ago. Colorado, you see
(26:06):
a decent sized move for the advantage of the GOP.
My home state of Florida, Republicans are over three hundred
thousand voters that are off here than a year ago.
You see the same being true with Democrats losing voters
and Republicans gaining voters. In Nevada, even New York, New
York State Republicans added fourteen thousand voters there the past year.
(26:29):
Democrats lost of the eight thousand. You're continuing to see
these trends in North Carolina, huge swing state, Republicans, big swing,
about a one hundred thousand voters swing in their favor.
Pennsylvania massive close to two hundred thousand to the GOP advantage.
We see similar changes in New Jersey, in Oregon, and
(26:51):
so you really have an opportunity here if people follow
through and actually vote and actually vote. So when you
have these trends in the blue states and the swing
states wherever and lines up with pulling information, that's available,
and then you see all of the things that have
(27:13):
been accomplished, many of which haven't been realized fully in
the economy, that are going to come through. We're set
up for unprecedented success. We're set up for a really
good year. But about that turnout, And this is what
just drives me bad crap crazy at times. So if
you take a look at turnout by election type for
those that are eligible, you got about sixty four percent
(27:37):
of Americans that will turn out to vote for a
presidential election. I mean, still remarkable to me that you
don't even have a full two thirds that are that
care enough to get out there and vote for a
presidential election. But that's what it is, about sixty four
percent of those who are eligible. But here is the problem,
and this was the problem back in twenty eighteen. It'll
(27:58):
be the problem this year if Republicans don't get their
heads out of their butts. Forty eight percent is the
turnout for midterm elections. Okay, so sixty four percent for
presidential elections, just forty eight percent. And for the life
of me, I can't imagine why somebody go, Yeah, presidential
election is really important, but then midterm elections congressional elections,
(28:21):
the folks that are there that ultimately are to work
for or against the incumb and press why you have
so many people, You've got sixteen percent? They're like, yeah,
but not this end very important, So I'm not or
maybe I don't like the Republican of my district on
this particular issue, and I'm a single issued voter. Therefore
(28:43):
I'm gonna let a communist win this district. Let's do that.
Very smart, No, it's very dumb, very dumb. I would
say that giving Trump even a rhino would be better
than giving them a mom Donnie, just saying, and then
this is for you at home too, because this factors
in in ways that transcend. It ultimately becomes the bench
(29:04):
for parties. Local elections. You know, one of the things
I've I've long said is that it's often the elections
that happen closest to you that have the biggest impact
on daily life. Not always, but often. And anybody who lives,
for example, in an overact of HA knows this. Like
(29:25):
if you've got you know, really awful hoa situation, boy,
the people running that really matters right every single day,
you feel that impact. Well, the same is true if
you live in a city doesn't enforce you know, the law,
if you have illegal immigrants everywhere, sanctuary policies, you name it.
Turnout for local elections is only twenty percent on average
(29:46):
in this country. So you start to think about the
level of commitment everything we've been given, the greatest country
on earth. We've got a president who's getting the job done.
And you have sixty four percent that bother to turn
out for a presidential election, forty eight percent for midterm elections,
and then only twenty percent for local elections. You go
way too many people, including a majority at a certain
(30:09):
level of people on the right, because when you are
at twenty percent turnout, you don't have people on the
right that are turning out for local elections either just
do not appreciate what they have enough, that don't care enough.
And so one, if this is you, get your head
out of the butt. More importantly, if you know people
who are like this, educate them, get them informed and engaged.
(30:31):
Be prepared now. Don't wait until we get into an
election cycle and go, oh no, it looks like you know.
Early voting numbers are not good for Republicans in this district.
It's too late. Now do it now. Local elections. It
matters not only to your community, but again that's also
often the bench for parties at the federal level as well.
(30:52):
Get involved, get engaged. Who knows, maybe you should become
a candidate. These are the things that need to be
done differently, the things that were not done in twenty eighteen.
That conditions are right for things to be a heck
of a lot better, but they're not going to be
any better if we do the same dumb thing like
not care enough to turn out and vote, like not
care enough to get out and get engaged. Control what
(31:13):
you can control, and this could be a year of
unprecedented success. I'm Brian mudd in for Claim Buck.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Not only is this a massive abuse of taxpayer dollars,
but it also with incentivized because of the negligence and
the inability of the Biden administration to put in proper
financial control.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, that is a Secretary Scott Turner talking about the
Somali mineset daycare fraud and the complicit nature the Biden
administration to allow so much of this to happen. And
one of the big pieces of the investigation, as you
already have close to one hundred arrests that have been
made at this point, how much did they not at
(32:17):
this state level, how much did Timpon know? How much
did Ellison, the ag in Minnesota know? Was there more
to the story than perhaps may initially meet the eye.
But there are so many different things that kind of
come back to one deal, and that is ultimately you
(32:38):
have abuse at so many different levels, when you have
a government that is not being managed well, when you
have people minding the store that have no business minding
the store, and ultimately who is it that loses well
to you? And so you don't want to be that way.
We have the opportunity to have unprecedented success. President Trump
(33:03):
has laid the groundwork for all of that. The one big,
potentially aesthetically pleasing bill delivered on those promises, and this
can be a great year. But yeah, it turn out
you got to do your part to make sure that
every election you're there to vote, that the people around
you are too, and that we don't have a repeat
(33:23):
of what we ended up seeing in twenty eighteen. We
can do better. The math is there, you're there. Just
get this done. This timing, this the fourth year that
the president's party adds in a midterm election cycle, should
be a great run and a great year again, aside
from maybe New York City and then California and a
(33:44):
few other situations out there. Hey, the guys are going
to be back with you on Monday, so Clay and
Buck will be ready to roll on Monday. Thank you
so much for taking the time with me today. It
is truly an honor and a pleasure being with you.

the front lines of truth.
The SBA says it uncovered what it says is widespread
suspected fraud in COVID related loans SBA administrator posting and
part quote. In total, these borrowers were approved for seven
nine hundred PPP and economic injury disaster loans worth approximately
four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, that is Fox is Sheenley Painter. The Somali daycare
fraud in Minnesota, the onion where every layer you feel back,
it's like, oh but wait, there's more. Yeah around trip.
The potential we've heard for maybe up to eight billion
dollars in fraud that took place going back to twenty eighteen.
The potential is remarkable. It's spectacular. And the smallies continuing
(00:44):
to hide behind the we're victims. We're victims in this situation,
including the breaking that took place at one of the facilities.
It's just absolutely ridiculous. So many people that think you
are stupid, but we can't give the the reason to
think we're stupid, like letting history repeat itself. Hey there,
(01:06):
Brian Mudd here for claim Buck. It is always an
honor and a pleasure to have the opportunity with you.
Happy New Year, A broadcast from my home station w
jn NO in West Palm Beach, not too far from
El President day in mar A Laga, where he has
been busy straight through the holidays. When he's not on
d C, he's working every bit as hard as when
(01:27):
he's in d C. I mean, the folks coming in
and out of mar A Lago NonStop, including crediting President
za Lenski last Sunday, and you had Prime Minister and
Yahoo in on Monday, and constant work despite the Wall
Street Journal report. Hey, Trump's shut his eyes in a
meeting once you know what that means. He's old. He
(01:49):
can't get jokers, I mean just absolute jokers. So a
couple of things, A couple of things as we dive
in a one just specific to you're hearing one of
the newest revelations about the SBA fraud as part of
the whole Somali scheme. There what federal program that administered
COVID funds wasn't abused overwhelmingly? Name one go. And it's
(02:15):
kind of the point about government generally. What is it
the government gets right? What is it that it does well?
Not a whole heck of a lot, which is why
it's best when it stays out of our way, you know,
protect us, make sure that we can live our lives
and otherwise pretty good shape. Right And so as you,
for example, had people that are saying, well, yeah, but
(02:36):
those COVID era subsidies, the ACA subsidies, they expired, and
now that's really expensive. Well that's because it always was.
The difference is for the people the ninety two percent
of policies that were subsidized eighty percent of the total
cost of the ACA policies, the exchange based policies being
(02:59):
paid for by everybody else. That didn't make it okay.
It doesn't make it okay. It's just like the socialism
getting ready to experience in New York City with Mom Donnie.
It doesn't make it okay when other people who are
having a hard time affording their health care are made
to pay for your health care if you're on an
(03:19):
exchange based policy too. The crisis always was Obamacare, and
it's all part of the bigger storyline here. Are we
going to continue down the path of success or are
we going to repeat history like we did in twenty eighteen.
Take for granted, everything that President Trump was doing was
(03:40):
working on and reluctantly back in those days. Republicans too. Republicans,
despite the narrow majority, have actually been far more effective
through the first eleven plus months of the Trump administration
than they were the first time around. But are we
going to take it for granted and just let this
thing fall apart? So I've got the roadmap here for
you about why this does not have to look like
(04:01):
twenty eighteen, about how if those who voted for Trump
simply get their butts out there are in votes for
those who support more or less Trump's policies, things can
really be better than they've ever been, the unprecedented success
that I've been talking about throughout the course of today's show.
So you have an option. You can let Democrats take
(04:22):
control this year and to January next year in the midterms,
and then spend two years in peaching Trump and then
attempting to screw you in the process too. Or you
can control what you can control what did not happen
in twenty eighteen. So let me start with the improved news.
(04:44):
On that note, as we take a look at where
we had been where we are today now. The first
thing is, and you can only read so much into
any of this stuff, but it's still an apple sapples comparison.
If you take a look at President Trump's average approval rating,
so the Real Clear Politics pulling to average his approval
(05:06):
on this date back in twenty eighteen, his approval rating
today is three points higher than it was. Okay, so
that's something start from a little bit better of a base. There.
There are a few more people that are awake at
the wheel than were at that point, and if a
lot of the three points translated into votes, that would
(05:27):
make a difference in a lot of close selections congressionally
throughout the course of this year. But wait, there's more,
because this is actually the more encouraging element, especially since
we're talking about congressional races. On the generic ballot, Republicans
are nine points better off than they were on this
(05:49):
date in twenty eighteen. Okay, so generic ballot, Hey, if
you had to vote today, would you go for a
Democrat or a Republican? The Real Clear Politics average Republicans
are nine points better off than on this date back
in twenty eighteen. If you started taking a look at
how many elections would have worked out differently during what
(06:11):
turned out to basically be a wave election for Democrats
back in twenty eighteen, things would have looked vastly different
if you had a nine points wing across the country. Okay,
so this is the first thing, just to kind of
informationally put in front of you. President Trump is starting
from a better position in terms of public perception than
(06:34):
he was at the same station as first term Congression Republicans,
despite themselves at times, they've been led well enough by
Trump that people are like, yeah, I may not like them,
but a take a look at those Democrats, man, I
certainly don't want to be associated with those people. So
in part because Democrats have managed to embrace socialists and
(07:00):
have managed to pretty much second life as a party
at this point, going Hey, if only Kamala Harris had
more time. Here's mom, Donnie. Let's travel down this path
with our politicians going forward, Gavin Newsom taking the reigns
and maybe becoming the face of the Democrat party. Republicans
nine points better off generic ballot than twenty eighteen. This
(07:25):
does not have to be a bad year for Republicans.
This doesn't have to be a repeat of what we
saw back then. We can take advantage of the unprecedented
success that we're set up for. So first thing is,
despite the many predictions that you see of a democratic
wave this year, the numbers that are out there right
(07:46):
now do tell a different story. You know, a heck
of a long way before a lot of these elections
are going to be taking place. But again, it's a
better base to be operating from. Another really important note,
because polls or polls right, they're worthway you pay for them.
But the hard voter registration information, this one, to me
is the single most instructive read on where we're starting
(08:11):
compared to where we have been previously favored stat probably
just share politics five. Did you know that Democrats lost
ground in every single state that tracks partisan voter registration information?
(08:31):
Democrats lost ground last year in an off election year.
And one of the things is most people don't pay
attention to voter registration information and off election years for
the obvious reasons it's an off election year. But what
we have historically seen is that off election year intent
and a lot of people just take a look at
(08:52):
the special elections and Republicans did not perform well. Democrats
really outperformed in special elections that took place last year,
which is all part of the reason why we can't
be stupid this year because people didn't show up and vote.
People voted for Trump then didn't show up to vote
in these special elections last year to Democrats who put
poured in all kinds of resources, even in local races,
(09:13):
ended up really outperforming last year. But when you take
a look at the broader electorate, after the twenty twenty
four performance, the performance that allowed Trump to win his
commanding victory, that allowed him to win convincingly the popular
(09:33):
vote as well, that allowed Republicans to assume control of Congress,
Democrats lost ground after that November performance in twenty twenty four.
All throughout the course last year, two Republicans by way
of voter registration, and every single state that tracks Parson
(09:54):
voter registration information, and you have eleven states that do
it pretty actively, you have all in thirty the providedly
some information and so it's scattered, it's not but the
themes are there. And it was true in blue states,
it was true in red states. It was true in
your big time swing states. And one of the things
(10:16):
that is still odd to me as I'm in South Florida,
although I predicted that this would always eventually happen. Is
that being in a place where Florida, my home state,
used to be the ultimate swing state and now in
the eyes of money is the ultimate red state. You
could track this off election year information, the voter registration information,
(10:37):
which Florida updates monthly, and you could really see where
things would be heading in a subsequent election cycle. There's
always been a connection between the two. So that is
a very powerful, very powerful stack that Democrats have lost
ground in every single state that tracks parts in registration information,
(10:59):
which this probably means that hey, if other states had it,
that probably would have watched there too. How bad was
it for Democrats last year? Okay, so if you take
a look at the litter registration information in those states,
it was the worst off election year performance net performance
Democrats Republicans that the Democrat donkey has had since nineteen
(11:22):
ninety eight. You have to go back to ninety eight
to find the last time that Democrats performed as poorly
against Republicans in a single year. In that also helps
tell a story. Now, a lot of the historic norms,
of course, do favor Democrats heading into this year. The
(11:42):
party opposite the president midterm elections has historically done the best,
very rare. Only a few times actually since the advent
of the two party system have you had the president's
party gain seats in midterm elections. But again it has
happened a few times. So the base that's better. Here,
the voter registration trends, the pulling information both for Trump
(12:07):
and for Republicans on a generic ballot compared to Democrat,
they're all pulling in the same direction. So that is
some really encouraging news. And that's the starting point for
the encouraging news. I have more of it, come it
up next. I'm Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Stories of Freedom, Stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Unfortunately, we saw that there was employee documentation enrollment of
the children and also employee documentation that was gone. They
were also check our rifts from our check papers are
from our book.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All right, stunning, stunning, Oh my gosh. They're victims the
uh Somali daycare centers there, they are real victims in
all of this. They are are not in any way
responsible for not only the rampant fraud that is being
(13:30):
uncovered that's gone on for years. They're victims because people
don't break in and steal records. That happened to be
the manager of one of the the daycare facilities, so
of course the the one robbed. They were robbed. People
wanted to get those records. You know, there have been
a lot of mean things that were said about the
Somali criminals. I'm sorry, these Somalis that were running these
(13:53):
these facilities, and so people wanted to get in there
and just not convenient adult that those records were tolen
and there's a checkbook took. You know, they took a
checkbook because you got to find some kind of motive.
Why so there's got to be a financial angle. I'm
sure they're going to write out a bunch of checks.
They just they think you're stupid. They really do think
(14:16):
you're stupid. But then again, if you're in these smallies,
anytime anybody had shown any kind of critical attention to
you for years, now, what have you done. You're a racist?
You want to investigate me, you're racist? Oh okay, you're right,
So we'll just let you continue to commit fraud. So
I guess they, you know, have been conditioned that enough
(14:36):
people are stupid. But that only works in Minnesota because
when you have timpon walls, he might be stupid. His
administration might be stupid. Else in the ag there might
be stupid. They might be complicit too, We'll wait and see.
But the rest of us in these states United, not
necessarily stupid, not necessarily maybe screwed. Like if you're in
(14:58):
New York City and you've got mom Donnie, or if
you're in California and you've been successful and you now
get success subjected to the wealth tax on top of
everything else. That has a lot of wealthy people in
California thinking, you know what I need to get out
of there this year. Hey there, Brian mud in for
claim Buck, And what I have been doing throughout the
(15:19):
course of the show today is kind of paying the
picture about how we're set up for unprecedented success this year,
but also how important it is that we do not
take this mitterm election year for granted. Now, we don't
wait until the elections are on us and then have
people on the right that are scrambling because Trump's name
is not on the ballot, and I don't like this
(15:42):
Republican in my district. He didn't do what I wanted
to do on this thing, and so I'm gonna let
a comedy get in there instead. I mean, that makes
sense taking a look at the roadmap for things to
be a lot better, and I've laid out these significant
differences that we see over where we were on this
date in Trump's first term versus where we are this time,
(16:04):
along with a lot more success that we're set up
for than even Trump's first term. And as we recall,
things ended up being pretty great right before the pandemic.
And so as we take a look at a lot
of the areas of improvement, one of the most significant
happens to be voter registration changes where we have that information.
(16:24):
As I like to say, there are two sides of stories,
one side of facts. Well, the facts of the matter
show that we have had in these states that collect
voter registration information, Democrats lose about one point four percent
of their voters, while Republicans have gained just under a
half percent new voters in those states. So, on top
of everything else, the off election year, he had about
(16:46):
a two points wing in voter registrations two of Republicans
over where we were coming out of November twenty twenty four.
The conditions are there, We've got to take advantage of it.
Brian Muddin proclaimed, Buck Kleet, Travis and Buck Sexton on
the front lines of the truth.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Deacas. And this is very sad used that one individual
we made a false claim about fraud that is happening
in the decays. How engage everyone else to.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Come and do this to us?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, there is nothing to see here, folks, not the
the the the expose of what's happening here. That's what's
to blame. You know, you you have a journalist who
takes a video of what's actually taking place, you'd be
like the CNN reporter who more interested in trying to
(17:44):
take to take down an investigative journalists than than actually
massive fraud that's been playing out in the state of
Minnesota with the daycare facilities. Uh the that again, the
the manager of one of the facilities, one that was
broken into allegedly it just happened to know, well where
(18:05):
the records were, just one of the records. That's you know,
who wouldn't break in to a daycare facility to get records.
I mean, that's uh huh. But again nothing to see
their folks, nothing at all. And as we say, actually,
let's say we got before I get back to the
(18:28):
roadmap here for twenty twenty six, unprecedented success politically got
Bob who wants to weigh in on this? On the
Somali daycare scandal in Minnesota? Bob, right here in West
Palm Beach, can't be too far away. Welcome to the show, yep, sir,
How are you doing today? All good, Bob? How about you?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm doing pretty good? Since when are daycare is federally funded?
I've got two twin girls that are registered in daycare
and we're paying eight hundred dollars per chihlo per month,
and there's probably about seventy to seventy five other parents
paying the same and that's what funds the daycare. So
(19:11):
why are federal funds even being involved, legitimate or not
in the day cares?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well, you just need to get yourself on a federal
government programs. That's where the issue comes down.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I hear what you're saying, Bob, and thank you for
the call. So it's through DCF when we start talking
about the government. The federal funding of these types of things.
You have what is known as the Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families program, and that is the lion's share of
where this money comes in. And to give you an idea,
(19:46):
the most recent year, huge money, huge money. The federal
government spent over twenty five billion dollars in these types
of programs over the past year. It's one of the reasons.
You take a look at Minnesota and you're like, hold on,
this is not a particularly big state, and the estimates
run as high as eight billion dollars in fraud, Like,
(20:08):
how could that be possible? And one not terribly big
state that goes back to twenty eighteen, and we'll see
where the ball lands might not be that high. But
how could there be up to eight billion dollars in
fraud in one state over the previous seven years. Well,
it's because if you take a look at the annualized
spending just on these childcare in early childhood education programs
(20:31):
that are funded through the federal government coming in at
over twenty five billion dollars a year, and that is
how and you take a look at the accountability, you
take a look at the fraud I mean, look, there
are so many reasons why it makes sense to cut
(20:51):
the federal government, to have limited federal government, but this
is one of the biggest right here, because what happens
when you have all these unaccountable agencies. You know, there
are four hundred and thirty federal government agencies, four hundred
and thirty. And what I've always said is I would
love to get every single member of Congress together, put
them in a room, take away their cell phones. Okay,
(21:14):
so no internet access, give them a full day, so
you get five hundred and thirty five folks together, or
however many are not retired or dead or what have you,
at any given time, get them all together, the five
hundred plus that would be there, and let them even
converse amongst themselves. I'm fine with that, But no Internet.
(21:37):
And if even one member, one member of Congress, votes
or can even name the government agency, then it stays.
If even one person could just name the government agency,
it would say, how many of the four hundred and
(21:59):
thirty federal government ad agencies do you think would be gonza?
And that's kind of part of the bigger point, you know.
One of the things, as we recently went through the
longest partial government shut down in American history. I mean,
had it not been for the issues we ended up
having with air traffic control, for the most part, nobody
noticed anything. And even then I was doing analysis on that,
(22:21):
you know, longest partial government shut down in American history.
You know what percentage of Americans even felt it at
any point, any aspect of it. It only got up
to about twenty seven percent, and a lot of that
was on the travel side, along with the federal government
employees themselves. And so even with the longest partial government
shutdown in history, he still didn't even get to a
point where seventy percent of Americans seven and ten had
(22:43):
any idea was happening if it hadn't been in the news.
It gives you an idea about how bloated and ridiculous
the federal government is. And my biggest lament about partial
government shutdowns is that we haven't done more to try
to make them permanent. But yeah, this is the biggest thing.
We administering all of this money that is funneled by
the federal govern two states, then states that could be
corrupt or unaccountable, like Minnesota, and then down to whoever
(23:07):
is supposed to be responsible for these programs that then
administer it to the individual daycare facilities. That's how all
that nonsense ends up going down. And of course that's
true in so many other programs, which is why we
have so much fraud, and especially when we had all
that COVID money that is involved. All Right, So talking
(23:27):
about the roadmap here for this midterm election year to
be different than your typical midterm election, which means that
the president's party gets waxed typically in those midterm elections,
and specifically about how to not repeat the history we
had in twenty eighteen when President Trump was setting us
(23:51):
up for all kinds of success that eventually we're like,
oh yeah, this is pretty darn good right before the
pandemic hit. We're set up for even more success as
it will be felt progressively throughout the course of this
year and then again next year. How not to take
that for granted? Walking through a lot of the voter
registration information in addition to the polling information that's out there,
(24:14):
and everything's been pointing in the same direction, despite how
a lot of the special elections went last year, which
Democrats had really strong performances relatively speaking. The problem is
ultimately that people that voted for Trump didn't get out
there and vote. And that's what this really gets down to,
is not taking this stuff for granted. So the last
(24:35):
thing I left you with was that if you take
a look at the on a percentage basis in states
where we have voter registration information available, the changes that
we saw last year. So this is after the results
of the twenty twenty four election cycle, Democrats lost one
point four percent of the registered voters last year. Republicans,
(24:59):
add did about three tenths of one percent to the ranks.
So that you net that out and you have a
near two point advantage in registered voters for Republicans over
where we were this time a year ago. President trump
Is approval rating is the is three points higher than
(25:21):
it was at the same point back in twenty eighteen.
Very importantly, the generic ballot Republicans performing nine points better
than Democrats at the same stage in twenty eighteen. Then
you started taking a look at some of the individual states,
so you know, mentioned that really good information only available
in you know, select states. Take a look at places
(25:44):
like Arizona, for example, big swing state right Republicans net
of Democrats about one hundred thousand voters better off than
they were a year ago. This time. Even in California, Republicans,
who over one hundred thousand voters bet are off than
they were this time a year ago. Colorado, you see
(26:06):
a decent sized move for the advantage of the GOP.
My home state of Florida, Republicans are over three hundred
thousand voters that are off here than a year ago.
You see the same being true with Democrats losing voters
and Republicans gaining voters. In Nevada, even New York, New
York State Republicans added fourteen thousand voters there the past year.
(26:29):
Democrats lost of the eight thousand. You're continuing to see
these trends in North Carolina, huge swing state, Republicans, big swing,
about a one hundred thousand voters swing in their favor.
Pennsylvania massive close to two hundred thousand to the GOP advantage.
We see similar changes in New Jersey, in Oregon, and
(26:51):
so you really have an opportunity here if people follow
through and actually vote and actually vote. So when you
have these trends in the blue states and the swing
states wherever and lines up with pulling information, that's available,
and then you see all of the things that have
(27:13):
been accomplished, many of which haven't been realized fully in
the economy, that are going to come through. We're set
up for unprecedented success. We're set up for a really
good year. But about that turnout, And this is what
just drives me bad crap crazy at times. So if
you take a look at turnout by election type for
those that are eligible, you got about sixty four percent
(27:37):
of Americans that will turn out to vote for a
presidential election. I mean, still remarkable to me that you
don't even have a full two thirds that are that
care enough to get out there and vote for a
presidential election. But that's what it is, about sixty four
percent of those who are eligible. But here is the problem,
and this was the problem back in twenty eighteen. It'll
(27:58):
be the problem this year if Republicans don't get their
heads out of their butts. Forty eight percent is the
turnout for midterm elections. Okay, so sixty four percent for
presidential elections, just forty eight percent. And for the life
of me, I can't imagine why somebody go, Yeah, presidential
election is really important, but then midterm elections congressional elections,
(28:21):
the folks that are there that ultimately are to work
for or against the incumb and press why you have
so many people, You've got sixteen percent? They're like, yeah,
but not this end very important, So I'm not or
maybe I don't like the Republican of my district on
this particular issue, and I'm a single issued voter. Therefore
(28:43):
I'm gonna let a communist win this district. Let's do that.
Very smart, No, it's very dumb, very dumb. I would
say that giving Trump even a rhino would be better
than giving them a mom Donnie, just saying, and then
this is for you at home too, because this factors
in in ways that transcend. It ultimately becomes the bench
(29:04):
for parties. Local elections. You know, one of the things
I've I've long said is that it's often the elections
that happen closest to you that have the biggest impact
on daily life. Not always, but often. And anybody who lives,
for example, in an overact of HA knows this. Like
(29:25):
if you've got you know, really awful hoa situation, boy,
the people running that really matters right every single day,
you feel that impact. Well, the same is true if
you live in a city doesn't enforce you know, the law,
if you have illegal immigrants everywhere, sanctuary policies, you name it.
Turnout for local elections is only twenty percent on average
(29:46):
in this country. So you start to think about the
level of commitment everything we've been given, the greatest country
on earth. We've got a president who's getting the job done.
And you have sixty four percent that bother to turn
out for a presidential election, forty eight percent for midterm elections,
and then only twenty percent for local elections. You go
way too many people, including a majority at a certain
(30:09):
level of people on the right, because when you are
at twenty percent turnout, you don't have people on the
right that are turning out for local elections either just
do not appreciate what they have enough, that don't care enough.
And so one, if this is you, get your head
out of the butt. More importantly, if you know people
who are like this, educate them, get them informed and engaged.
(30:31):
Be prepared now. Don't wait until we get into an
election cycle and go, oh no, it looks like you know.
Early voting numbers are not good for Republicans in this district.
It's too late. Now do it now. Local elections. It
matters not only to your community, but again that's also
often the bench for parties at the federal level as well.
(30:52):
Get involved, get engaged. Who knows, maybe you should become
a candidate. These are the things that need to be
done differently, the things that were not done in twenty eighteen.
That conditions are right for things to be a heck
of a lot better, but they're not going to be
any better if we do the same dumb thing like
not care enough to turn out and vote, like not
care enough to get out and get engaged. Control what
(31:13):
you can control, and this could be a year of
unprecedented success. I'm Brian mudd in for Claim Buck.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Not only is this a massive abuse of taxpayer dollars,
but it also with incentivized because of the negligence and
the inability of the Biden administration to put in proper
financial control.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, that is a Secretary Scott Turner talking about the
Somali mineset daycare fraud and the complicit nature the Biden
administration to allow so much of this to happen. And
one of the big pieces of the investigation, as you
already have close to one hundred arrests that have been
made at this point, how much did they not at
(32:17):
this state level, how much did Timpon know? How much
did Ellison, the ag in Minnesota know? Was there more
to the story than perhaps may initially meet the eye.
But there are so many different things that kind of
come back to one deal, and that is ultimately you
(32:38):
have abuse at so many different levels, when you have
a government that is not being managed well, when you
have people minding the store that have no business minding
the store, and ultimately who is it that loses well
to you? And so you don't want to be that way.
We have the opportunity to have unprecedented success. President Trump
(33:03):
has laid the groundwork for all of that. The one big,
potentially aesthetically pleasing bill delivered on those promises, and this
can be a great year. But yeah, it turn out
you got to do your part to make sure that
every election you're there to vote, that the people around
you are too, and that we don't have a repeat
(33:23):
of what we ended up seeing in twenty eighteen. We
can do better. The math is there, you're there. Just
get this done. This timing, this the fourth year that
the president's party adds in a midterm election cycle, should
be a great run and a great year again, aside
from maybe New York City and then California and a
(33:44):
few other situations out there. Hey, the guys are going
to be back with you on Monday, so Clay and
Buck will be ready to roll on Monday. Thank you
so much for taking the time with me today. It
is truly an honor and a pleasure being with you.
