Hey everyone, I'm back with another update.
In this episode, I'll cover tariffs and investments, the
federalization of DC, endorsements and nominations,
and Shifty Adam Schiff. Of course.
I'll end with a noteworthy tidbits.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum authorized the
extradition of 26 high-ranking cartel members to the United
States as part of a deal with the Trump administration.
(00:31):
Sheinbaum also declared to all Americans that without Mexicans,
the United States would not be what it is today.
I'm not sure what part of legal immigration she's not grasping.
The illegal alien population hasbeen reduced by 1.6 million
since President Trump took office in January, and ISIS now
received over 100,000 job applications on to tariffs and
(00:52):
investments. President Trump encouraged China
to purchase soybeans from the United States to not only
address their shortage but also to reduce their trade deficit.
Trump signed an executive order to extend the tariff suspension
on China for another 90 days, with all other elements of the
agreement remaining the same. Trump announced gold will not be
tariffed and the United States gained a couple new investments.
(01:14):
John Deere will be investing $20billion in the United States for
manufacturing, and AB V announced a $195 million
pharmaceutical manufacturing plant will be coming to
Illinois. Let's switch to redistricting.
California Governor Gavin Newsomhurled threats at President
Trump over the redistricting of red states, saying if you will
not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to
(01:37):
redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.
If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we
will do the same. Newsom threatened to gerrymander
5 Democrat House seats, but Governor Greg Abbott said Texas
has the ability to eliminate 10 Democrats in his state.
Speaking of Texas, Democrat senators walked out of the
chamber as it took up the new congressional map that adds GOP
(02:00):
seats. But it was not enough to break
quorum and the Texas Senate passed the map, which would add
five Republican seats. Now they need to pass it through
the House. But the House has no quorum.
And if they can't get a quorum by Friday, Abbott will call
another special session. It sounds like the Texas House
Democrats will return for Abbott's second special session.
So the map will pass, and the Democrats will have to face the
(02:22):
consequences of the refusal to obey a call of the House.
Last, for this topic, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is
holding Beta O'Rourke in contempt for violating a court
order by continuing to fundraisefor the runaway Democrats
shifting to the federalization of Washington, DC.
On Monday, President Trump declared Liberation Day in DC
and federalized our nation's capital to rid it of crime and
(02:45):
make the area a safer and more pleasant place to be.
Despite DC Mayor Muriel Bowser'sefforts to prevent the
federalization of DC, Trump was able to do this legally and
constitutionally by invoking Section 740 of the DC Home Rule
Act National Guard troops have been deployed, and multiple
areas of DC are under direct federal control.
(03:06):
Trump revealed that the murder rate in DC is higher than that
of Bogota, Colombia, The number of car thefts has doubled in the
past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than
tripled. Multiple neighborhoods in DC are
under curfew, and Attorney General Pam Bondi has assumed
full and total control of the DCMetropolitan Police Department.
Trump announced that DC will immediately begin massive
(03:27):
enforcement operations targetingknown gangs, drug dealers and
criminal networks, and FBI Director Cash Patel explained,
We stood up a task force in Northern Virginia, we said let's
let good cops be cops. And in one month we arrested 545
violent felons. And that simplicity in law
enforcement is what's coming to Washington, DC Janine Piro, the
(03:48):
US Attorney for the District of Columbia, made a good point in
saying we need to recognize thatthe people who matter are the
law abiding citizens. And the chairman of the DC
police union came out in full support of Trump's decision to
federalize DC. Let's move on to endorsements
and nominations. President Trump endorsed
Lieutenant Governor Bert Jones for Governor of Georgia in 2026,
(04:08):
and he nominated Dr. EJ Antony as the next commissioner of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trump announced a few other
nominations, including James Maxwell to serve as a judge on
the United States District Courtfor the Northern District of
Mississippi, Robert Chamberlain to serve as a judge on the same
court, Edmund Lacour as a judge for the Northern District of
Alabama, Harold Hal Moody to serve as a judge on the same
(04:31):
court, and Bill Lewis to serve as a judge on the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.
Switching to Shifty Adam Schiff,it has been revealed that
Senator Adam Schiff signed off on leaking classified
information to hurt President Trump over the Russia hoax, and
FBI Director Patel said it's nowtime for this to be
investigated. Patel explained.
We found it, we declassified it.Now Congress can see how
(04:54):
classified info was leaked to shape political narratives and
decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American
people. Judge Janine Piro is now
investigating Shift regarding this and he's still under
investigation by Special Attorney Ed Martin for mortgage
fraud. Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna
called for the Senate to kick Schiff off his committee, saying
they have the authority to do that.
(05:15):
Stop being so low energy. This guy is a crook.
Now he's being investigated for fraud.
It looks like the rest of the year is going to be unpleasant
for Schiff. Now it's time for the noteworthy
tidbits which are brought to youtoday by Old Glory.

US inflation on consumer prices came in lower than expected
again. President Trump announced a new
push to outlaw cashless bail nationwide, expressing his
wishes for Congress to get this done.
