Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to the Jawber Podcast. I'm glad you clicked in,
and wow, has it been a hugely consequential week with
the Supreme Court decision to end sixty years of unconstitutional gerrymandering,
having the second most influential member of OPEC, the UAE,
announcing they're leaving that powerful oil cartel. That's huge. We'll
talk about those today. I also want to spend a
few minutes highlighting some of the welfare fraud and social

(00:37):
services fraud that President Trump's team is finally going after
and trying to stop. It appears that a lot of
this fraud being discovered is actually part of another dark,
secretive scheme the Democrats have been running to redirect federal
funding for their own use and abuse. But I'm sitting
here reading about ozembic personality. Health experts are saying that
these drugs are meant to suppress people's hunger, but they're

(00:58):
also dulling some of the patients. Z ust for life.
The short version of this is, if you're taking a
chemical that turns off one pleasure receptor, it can turn
off others, like your desire for sex and socializing. So apparently,
if you've noticed a change in your desire to get
drunk and womanized, you should see your doctor. But the
warning is that if you don't stay active, you could
experience muscle loss, brain deterioration, and depression if you're on

(01:20):
a GLP one. I just wonder how they're going to
diagnose this condition in people who are already flabby, depressed morons. Hey,

(02:01):
not an endorsement of the firm. I want to start
with the huge win, the huge win that the Supreme
Court's decision on racial jerrymandering represents. You have to have
lived through the last fifty or sixty years of seeing
the Voter Rights Act increasingly abused for Democrat gains in
order to truly appreciate this. This Court all but outlawed
racial jerrymandering after five or six decades of having the

(02:22):
Democrats and the activist left abuse a piece of legislation
that was meant to bring fairness to the South after
decades of Southern Democrats racially abusing the ballot box for
their own gains there. And yes, this allows several states,
especially Southern states, to redraw their maps and add seats
in Congress to the Republican side of the aisle. And
we'll get to that. But it isn't wishful thinking to

(02:43):
believe that this Supreme Court decision could ultimately mean somewhere
between twelve and twenty new Republican districts created between now
and twenty thirty if the Republicans controlling those states all
decide to redraw their maps, and of course they'll be
under heavy pressure to do so by President Trump and
the Republican strategists. But let's start with the ruling itself,
because it's another landmark decision, and it's yet another decision

(03:04):
in which we finally, finally, after many decades, have a
Supreme Court whose members want to genuinely make constitutionally correct
decisions and get us back to a time in which
we honored both the letter of the law and the Constitution,
but also to a time in which the three branches
of government had limited and defined roles and stuck to them.
This is another great instance of this six' to three

(03:25):
conservative court finally finally being in the position and having
the numbers to correct a, wrong an abuse of the
law in the system that was never legal or. Constitutional
the era of racial gerrymandering in order to segregate black
And hispanic voters and put them into their own districts
so that The Democrat party could essentially create political plantations
to keep them on is essentially. Over The court has

(03:47):
finally ordered The Democrat party and the active is left
to stop being racist and treat Every american voter the.
Same and, wow is the left in a meltdown over, this.
FOLKS a good way to size the importance of any
win For republicans or how big it is is to
see how The democrats and the leftists are reacting to
it on social. Media And, WOW i, mean the bigger the,

(04:08):
explosion the bigger the win it is for. Conservatives this
was an explosion of angry nonsense ON x And facebook
yesterday of the sort THAT i haven't seen in a.
WHILE i don't look At Blue, sky BUT i can
only assume that it was just on fire with new
burning hatreds For trump and the conservatives on this court
over this. Ruling and by the, way AS i said ON,
X i think this, decision on top of The dobbs

(04:30):
decision that Ended roe. V, wade and on top of
a few others that are undoing the left regulatory, state
this ruling is likely to be the final blow In
Chuck schumer's. Mind AND i think he and The democrats
kill off the filibuster the next time they get total
control Of, WASHINGTON, dc so that they can add seats
to The Supreme court as a way to retake control of.
It it's called court, packing and it's a very good

(04:51):
bet that they're going to do it. Now add five
seven nine more, seats have their liberal president put those
nominations in, place and suddenly while they have control of
The court, AGAIN i think it's a very good bet
that this decision is the one that will cause them
to go absolutely ape shizzle and kill off the filibuster
and court pack and ram home the rest of their

(05:11):
big agenda the next time they have the. Opportunity because
what The Supreme court did here is further unravel a
sixty year racial grift that The democrats have been using
against this country in order to keep control and power for.
Themselves this is a very serious blow to their sixty
year racial. Scam this is a sixty year campaign to
abuse race in order to divide this, country separate racial,

(05:33):
groups divide the country using race, baiting and has been
built a serious and perhaps mortal blow. Here if The
democrats and the activists left want to salvage any parts
of this longtime racial, scam they're going to have to
do something. Drastic it's. Coming some of the biggest ways
That democrats maintain control of courses through creating division and
building racial, walls especially around electoral. Districts and now that

(05:56):
this is coming to an, end imagine how mortified and
furious they. Are, well you don't actually have to imagine,
it AS i, said just go on social media and
bask in the angry. Venom but as Sam alito said
in his majority, opinion The constitution almost never permits the
federal government or state to discriminate on the basis of.
Race this ruling finally took us back to first, principles

(06:16):
finally returns us to a constitutional. Correctness and the race
baters on the left are. Furious and by the, way
none of them actually read the. Decision you can, Tell
and of course they. Wouldn't they're, foolish emotionally Fragile. Democrats
but if they'd read the, ruling they'd know that The
Supreme court didn't actually ban rachel jerrymandering or race based districts.
Here but the decision does make it clear it's only

(06:37):
allowed in narrow situations in which the remedy to a
problem is really to be race specific in order to combat.
Discrimination and so despite all the hysteria and whining and
intentional misrepresentation of what this decision, DOES i, mean after,
all The democrats have to keep lying to their ignorant
base in order to keep them whipped up and motivated to.
Vote and SO i, mean of course they can't have

(06:57):
an honest and measured response to this. Ruling but despite
all the, hysteria the decision represents a major victory for
voting rights and for first. Principles the court did not
make it harder for racial minorities to. Vote it did
not take away their, Vote it did not take away
their right to be heard In. Congress, instead it took
a huge step toward finally ending the use of race

(07:17):
as a way to divide and carve up this. Country
it is a massive win for a colorblind society and individual.
Fairness you'd think that's something That democrats would be interested.
In they pretend to. Anyway but it also has the
added benefit of allowing several states to then make corrections
on their electoral maps Correct and that's what really has
These democrats. Po'ed they know that these racial rules have

(07:39):
led to at least Twelve democrat districts in The Southern
states that only exist due to court orders that say
they need to. Exist The democrats know that now that
several red states can course correct and eliminate the institutional
racism contained within their. Maps The republicans could gain a
dozen seats In congress in short. Order and, Look i'll

(08:00):
be honest with, you if other media members, won't it'd
be such a mad scramble to try to get new
maps drawn up and ram through legislatures and then shepherded
through the lawsuits that this decision is not likely to
affect this falls. Races it's just Not i'll be. Honest
don't Think trump And republicans are going to have a
chance at creating twelve to twenty EXTRA gop seats Before
august Or. September it's just not going to. Happen but

(08:21):
could they be in play for twenty twenty? Eight, absolutely
depending on how fast these red state governors and legislatures
are and how motivated they are to. Act could a
dozen new red seats make a huge difference as part
of the twenty thirty redistricting based on a new. Census,
Absolutely the implications here are significant for the twenty, thirties
they loom large for twenty twenty, eight and they aren't

(08:42):
likely to be all that significant this. Year that's just the.
Truth but you, know The democrats are mortified when one
of their own left wing activist groups has calculated that
as many as Nineteen democrat congressional seats could now be in.
Jeopardy which states could move quickly. Well the decision was
based on The louisiana, case and So builicgans In louisiana
can quickly move to implement a new, map which could

(09:03):
mean one more seat For. Republicans, again not sure if
it would be in place for, fall but. Maybe then There's,
tennessee WHOSE gop leaders seem to motivated to scrap a
map that gives them a seven to two advantage currently
and put one in place that gives them an eight
to one, Advantage so an additional seat could be created
there for twenty twenty eight and. Beyond republicans In alabama immediately, said,
hey we are free to move to add a seat

(09:24):
and make their map seven to one now that a
court ordered black district is no longer required, there so
there's another. Seat ditto For South. Carolina Another republican seat
could be created there with little. Trouble Georgia republicans have
started to make. Plans mississippi has, options and this is
all based on a ruling that says these state leaders
no longer need to be forced into having quote majority minority.

(09:46):
DISTRICTS i assume nearly all of these states are going
to engage in mad scrambles to get new maps in
place before, fall even if all of them are slowed
down in court and aren't ultimately available for. Fall i'd
expect The republican lawmakers in these states to swiftly move,
forward only to have their efforts stopped in. Court and of,
course since the wheels of justice turned so, SLOWLY i
don't see a major new advantage For republicans in fall

(10:09):
due to. This, still that doesn't mean they shouldn't move
as fast as they can and do their best to
change their. Maps the fact is many filing deadlines have already,
passed and primaries are just weeks or months. Away it's
Why i've been Saying virginia's new map isn't likely to
be in play by, fall even if it is ultimately
allowed to. Stand it's also Why Ron desantas's new map
In florida probably isn't going to be in play by

(10:30):
fall due to. Litigation but, hey props To DeSantis And
Florida republicans for getting their map done so, quickly, Right
but if you step back and get some perspective, here
this is a good illustration of how quickly political fortunes can.
Change it was about ten days ago that The Virginia
democrats were celebrating their new. Map National democrats were on
an emotional. High most of them were doing their little victory,

(10:52):
dances insisting that they'd Won trump's map, war. Etc, well
look where we are. Now The virginia map probably doesn't court.
Challenges Ron DeSantis's probably. Will texas's map has officially been
put in place By scotus and that should be four
or five New republican seats, there and the landscape has
dramatically flipped in favor of The republicans. Again al. Elujah

(11:15):
it's just a few days, later and The democrat's big
redistricting win looks a lot, different doesn't. IT i was
quick to suggest that this Big virginia victory probably wasn't
going to stand. Anyway the Bullying democrats there took a
map that was a pretty good representational map that had
Six democrat districts and Five republican, districts and they conducted
an extreme jurymander to virtually wipe out all of the

(11:36):
red districts then turned around and forced it onto the
voters Of virginia by selling it as. Fair, moreover they
did so in a procedurally clunky and unconstitutional. WAY i
didn't think it was going to stand or really ever
come into, play and it still. Might it still, might
BUT i. Doubted The State Supreme court immediately denied The
Virginia Attorney general's request to put that map into place

(11:57):
after a lower court judge blocked. It and it was
just a day or two After virginia's special election that
this district judge refused to certify the. ELECTION i, mean
the net effect is that it throws the democrats carefully
engineered power grab here into, chaos and it makes it
increasingly unlikely that this new map will be in place
for the fall election at the very. Least but based
on The Virginia Supreme court's, reaction it raises real questions

(12:20):
over whether the map will ever be approved for. USE
a lower court judge is refusing to certify the results
of that, election which means no redistricting for. Now for,
now nothing. Changes and that had The Democrat Attorney general Of,
virginia who's a legitimate Scumbag Jay jones appealing directly to
the State Supreme court to allow the map to at
least be put into place they want to use it this.

(12:41):
Fall not only did The Supreme court deny as, request
but its members did so with no. Explanation it was
a harsh curt, no and that suggests the members of
That Supreme court are not inclined to go along with
such a Blatant democrat party. Cheat and, again we can
only make assumptions at this, point but in, general when
A Supreme court denies a motion to let something, proceed

(13:02):
it's because the members of that court have real reservations
about whatever it is they have been asked to put in.
Place it means they're not likely to let that thing
stand once the case gets to. Them so having the
members of The Virginia Supreme court flatly deny any request
to allow state lawmakers to go ahead and use this
map is not a sign that these Cheating democrats are

(13:22):
going to get their. Way and according to various reports
about the quickie hearing in front of The Supreme court
related to, this things did not go well for The.
Democrats slippery attorneys quote under Questioning democrats' own lawyers conceded
the legislature had not followed its internal rules while pushing
the measure. Forward that's a remarkable admission before the state's highest.
Court The democrats' attorney tried to reframe the whole controversy

(13:46):
as an attack on the democratic, process but judges weren't buying. It,
No SO i mean hint number one here as to
how this might end For. Virginia the questions from the
bench did not bode well for The democrats trying to
get this cheat. Approved there's one piece put. It Virginia
democrats gambled that they could rewrite the rules of redistricting
and call anyone who objected an enemy of. Democracy now

(14:08):
the state's highest court is poised to blow up their master.
Plan it at least seems that way as of. Now,
yes and so The virginia cheat appears to be going.
Nowhere and i'd contrasted to the New texas map that
touched off these map wars in the first. PLACE i
hope you saw that THE Us Supreme court officially allowed
The texas jerry mander to go into effect this. Week
this is a genuine win for The, republicans As democrats

(14:31):
and their activists pretend that they've won something In virginia
or are winning these new map. Wars the reason That
texas's new map has survived is that the changes that
were made weren't nearly as extreme or indefensible as the
moves The Virginia democrats. Made that allowed the courts to
say in good conscience that the map could be put into.
Play the changes looked reasonable enough based on the results
of recent, elections and there was no constitutional or procedural

(14:54):
reason to Stop texas, lawmakers so, yeah it can be
put into. Effect The Supreme court temporarily allowed This texas
map to be put into place as of Last, november
but this week they issued the final. Ruling. Quote monday's
ruling ensured the new lines will be used for the
twenty twenty six mid. Terms as many as five More
republican seats to THE Us house could be, added but

(15:14):
that's not a, certainty they. Say some of the New
republican districts that were drawn were drawn based On latino
voters in their swing to their right in twenty twenty,
four but the new polling is suggesting that immigration policy
in the economy are driving some of Those latino voters
back toward the. Left so there really is more of
a question In texas over whether this new map is

(15:34):
going to result in five More republican. Districts it could well,
be based on That latino shift that only three of
those new districts go To republicans and two go To.
Democrats but in, Short Texas republicans didn't engage in the
sort of extreme cheat That virginia And California democrats. DID
i know that's upsetting to hear if you're A democrat
who's been drinking the kool. Aid but it's. True then

(15:56):
there's the move In. Florida it is impressive how Fast
DeSantis got this, done But i'll be shocked If DeSantis
And Florida republicans can really fight off all of the
legal challenges and get this into play before the ballots
are printed up for the primary and the general elections this,
fall it's a virtual impossibility at this. Point the new
Map DeSantis wants to put in place attempts to flip

(16:18):
four More democrat seats In florida to red for a
congressional representation of just Four democrats and twenty Four republicans
going To washington D. C to Represent florida in the.
Future to the average, person that's going to sound nearly
as offensive as The Virginia democrats cheat making their map
Ten democrats to One, republican and it nearly. Is but interesting,
Fact DeSantis's map still doesn't look as much like a

(16:41):
crime against The republic As virginia's. Does there are no
lobster districts or extreme boundaries of the sort that are
in The virginia And illinois maps in this New florida.
Map but bottom, LINE i wouldn't hold out hope that
any New florida, map or any new hastily drawn red
state map is actually going to be in play or
affect the race this. Fall if a few are, great

(17:01):
but we basically hit a point on the calendar in
which any arguments over new maps are going to be
pushed into arguments about twenty twenty, eight not twenty twenty.
Six this news isn't going to surprise anyone in this,
audience but it is a good illustration of just how
useless in hyperpartisan today's teachers' unions, are and it is
a good illustration of why anyone who calls themselves A,

(17:22):
republican a conservative and independent or even a lover Of
america should have no interest in supporting or being a
member of a teachers. Union you might have heard this.
NEWS a new watchdog study determined That america's teachers unions
have spent over a billion, dollars over one billion dollars
on political activism and leftist causes over the last. Decade

(17:43):
we know that none of these teachers unions give To
republicans or conservative. Causes and so if in decades past
the leaders of these unions could have, said, well but
we give to both, sides they can't say that. Anymore
the teachers, unions both at the local and national, levels
have given almost exclusively To democrats and left wing efforts
over the. Decade and we have the, documentation so we
can safely say this is one billion dollars of political

(18:06):
spending by teachers unions on left wing causes and, candidates
making it clear that if you're a member of a teachers,
union this is what your dos are going, to this
is what your hard earned money is. Supporting this report
is detailed and it finds that the two national teachers,
unions which are The National Education association and The American
federation Of teachers have given six hundred and sixty nine
million dollars to the left over the last, decade and

(18:28):
the teachers unions at the local level gave another three
hundred and thirty nine. Million that's a total of over
one billion dollars that the teachers unions have dedicated to
left wing activism over the last. Decade and they aren't
just donating To democrat. Candidates some of the biggest spending
went to fund some of the most radical and powerful
groups on the, left groups that have been pushing for
socialism and other Anti american. Causes for, example the study

(18:50):
found that of the six hundred and sixty nine million
spent on lefty politics at the national, level those two
national teachers unions gave forty four million to a group
called Four Our, future which is a socialist political group
that focuses on social equity and climate. Justice they gave
more than fifty million to The house And Senate majority
packs on the, left nineteen million to The Strategic Victory,

(19:12):
fund and that's a pack that was created in twenty
twenty to specifically Defeat Donald. Trump they're also giving money
To bill And hillary And Chelsea clinton's, foundation The Human
Rights Campaign, foundation planned parenthood, votes The Trevor. Project that's
a radical transgender group that encourages early gender reassignment surgeries
and encourages children to hide their gender transition from their

(19:35):
parents their gender. Confusion and as one pundit put, it
gone are the days of unions just advocating for higher,
wages better working, conditions and good health. Insurance they're a
political machine focused on fomenting a political. Revolution, yeah and
they point to The chicago AND La Teachers unions as
being two examples of local unions that are particularly radical
in heinous in their. Giving Nicole healy is the president

(19:58):
of a group Called Defending. Education she says it's time
to dispense with the myth that unions care whatsoever about
teacher's best. Interests educators are victims of a bait and.
Switch instead of their dues going to advocate for increased
pay or improved working, environments they're being spent advancing a
hard left political, agenda underwriting causes such as climate, change gender,
activism and abortion at all. Levels and for the, record

(20:21):
the scummy leaders atop THE neea and THE aft chose
to run in hide when the study was released this
week rather than talk to. Reporters they knew they couldn't
defend any of this abuse of their own, members and
so they hid from, reporters proving today's top left wing
leaders are scumbags who can't even defend their own. Actions
speaking of left wing, scumbags is there a bigger one

(20:42):
Than Tim, walls this idiot governor Of. Minnesota this is
a clown who has so ruined his own state and
is so unpopular in his own state and his own.
Party he's not even running for, reelection nor is he
really doing his job in running the state. Government. Apparently,
Instead Tim walls is traversing the, globe spouting nonsense and
acting as if he's preparing himself for a twenty twenty
Eight White house. Run AND i don't know if he'll

(21:03):
actually ultimately do, it but if he's enough of a
disgrace In minnesota that he can't run for, reelection you'd
think he'd have the decency to just shut up and
go away start to quietly ride out the rest of his. Term,
Instead Tim wallas is acting Like Pete. Budhajig he's running
around doing all sorts of, events traveling internationally to crap
on this Country Tim wallas is acting like he's got
twenty twenty eight. Ambitions and given how many notorious and

(21:26):
inveterate liars are atop The Democrat, party, now the next
Thing i'm going to say is. SHOCKING i, mean you've
Got Chuck, Schumer Adam, Schiff Jamie, Raskin Haakim. Jeffries they're
the absolute hall Of fame of inveterate. Liars so it
means something WHEN i Say Tim walls is one of
the scummiest and perpetual liars on today's. Left this is
a man, who Like Adam schiff Or Chuck, schumer simply

(21:48):
never tells the. Truth he embodies as much as anyone
that old cliche that if his lips are, moving he's.
LYING i laughed at the ridiculous Pivot Tim walls tried
to make this week On minnesota's insane amount of wealth fair.
Fraud for nine, months ever since the level of fraud
within The somali community In minnesota was, Revealed Tim walls
has been insisting there is no. Fraud he has been

(22:09):
insisting that this is all just malarkey invented by evil
right wing racists and white. Supremacists he insists that white
supremacists are attacking and maligning the Wonderful somali community in
The Twin, cities and there is no. Fraud Tim walls
posted there is no fraud on social media and has
come out of his own mouth over and over again

(22:29):
for nine. Months there is no, fraud and we now
know he's been saying that because, he as A democrat
lawmaker and now governor of that, state was complicit in the.
Fraud he and The Democrat party In minnesota were enriching
their campaigns and securing Those somali votes by rerouting billions
in federal taxpayer money to scummy members of The somali.

(22:49):
Community waltz has been up to his eyeballs in these corrupt,
schemes so of course he denied they were occurring at.
All BUT i think you saw what he did On.
Tuesday as THE fbi and the DEPART i would Have
justice rated at least twenty Two somali businesses and scam,
Operations walt's pivoted and tried to take credit for the
crackdown on the. Fraud. UNBELIEVABLE i, mean anyone with a

(23:11):
conscience finds it hard to imagine how someone Like Tim
walls can even sleep at. Night it's got to be
tough to lay your head on your pillow every night
knowing what a criminal scumbag you. Are but somehow he does,
it probably because he's a. Sociopath but, Yeah Tim wall's
pivoted to By, god we will clean up this. Fraud
fraud that he's insisted for nine months isn't real as

(23:33):
THE fbi raids, occurred Was walt's posted on his social.
Media if you commit fraud In, minnesota you're going to get.
Caught and that's exactly what we saw. Today we catch
criminals when state and federal agencies share, information joined investigations,
work and securing justice depends on. It he, said today's
raids by state and federal law enforcement happened because our
state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported. It that's how

(23:54):
the system is supposed to, work and our agencies will
keep it as long as there are fraudsters around to
put behind. Bars good. Grief first of, all this is
a guy who hates law enforcement and consistently bashes police
and ice, agents so the attempt to support law and
order has to be jarring to his lefty. Minions at
least but this was such a ridiculous claim THAT Fbi

(24:15):
Director Cash ptel felt the need to. Respond he, posted
come again THIS fbi and dj drafted and executed every
search warrant. Today but go ahead and take credit for
our work while we smoke out the fraud Plaguing minnesota
under your. Governorship that is a solid retort From. Patel
what an ass, Hat Tim wall. Says Mark Wayne mullen

(24:36):
is a senator who you'll, remember who was just appointed
As President trump's New Homeland Security. Secretary he responded To
walls by, saying you have zero credibility on this. Issue
Governor Tim, walls you willingly ignored and downplayed the rampant
fraud and abuse In. Minnesota this crackdown on fraud has
come thanks to the leadership Of President. Trump we will
hold those who steal From americans. Accountable. Yeah allowing this

(24:59):
level of massive fraud is one of the reasons That
Tim walts isn't running for a third term as. Governor
it's shameful behavior and he's been caught in. It he
and his team in The governor's office allowed massive levels
of fraud to, occur largely within The somali community and
they've even been caught contributing to. It Congresswoman Elon omar
vouched for and went to bat for several of these fraudulent.

(25:20):
Operations Even minnesota Scummy Attorney General Keith ellison has been
caught on paper colluding with some of these somalis to
engineer the fraud and keep it. Going the most quoted
estimate is that we're talking about nineteen billion dollars in
social services fraud In, minnesota And, Walts, ellison And omar
knew about it and not only did nothing to stop,
it instead actually encouraged. It in, fact these raids are

(25:44):
only coming nine months after the latest fraud was. Uncovered
Because Tim wallson his administration refused to release state records
on these. Programs Tim walsh ordered his regime to stand
in the way of discovering the truth for as long
as he. Could now he pivots to pretend he's a
tough guy who's going to root out any. Fraud what
an ass. Hat, now consider that this isn't a unique

(26:06):
instance up in The Twin. Cities democrats at the state
level in these deep blue states have been engaging in
these various types of federal welfare fraud for many years,
now and it's. Intentional The, Walts omar And ellison campaigns
reveal how it. Works it's pretty, straightforward. Really the state
lawmakers in charge help redirect federal funding to fraudulent organizations
and their scummy, friends and then they get a chunk

(26:28):
of its funneled back to them and their campaigns in.
Return it's stealing from the federal taxpayers flat, out and
blue state leaders have clearly been doing this for. Decades
These democrats have only ever pretended to care about the
poor and the needy who these federal funds are actually
supposed to be, helping and so of course they do.
It you also have to consider how this is genuinely
stealing From america's poor and most. Desperate, again how can

(26:51):
these democrats live with. Themselves Jack brewer is a Former Minnesota,
viking and he says he saw some of The somali
fraud up. Close he just Told Fox Moves american celebrate.
Today finally we have AN fbi that is actually sticking
up for the poor in this country and stopping the
corruption that's happening In minneapolis and the surrounding areas where
they're robbing literally robbing the, orphan the, widow and those in.

(27:13):
Poverty he went on to say of The, DEMOCRATS i
believe they get into these networks and pass it amongst
each other how to steal from THE us government and
how to exploit the very people these programs were created to.
Help these people are. Gross they're robbing the people who
need help the most and turning suffering into their own
personal business. Model, yeah and it's not just happening In.
Minnesota it is very likely happening in every blue and

(27:35):
purple state in The. Union there is certainly at least
this level of fraud going on In michigan And, california
very Likely New. York i'd check any state in which
The democrats have held firm control for the last forty.
Years i'm sure we would find at least some level
of social services fraud here In wisconsin if anyone cared
to look. CLOSELY i believe it's the main reason That
Governor evers refuses to turn over the data On wisconsin's

(27:57):
foodstamp program to The trump. ADMINISTRATION i Think tony and
his minions know that an audit Of wisconsin's social services
would also find all sorts of fraud and that we'd
find all sorts Of democrat fingerprints on. It evers is
one quote blue state governor who refuses to turn over
the data that the state collects on what is a
federally funded, program the food stamp. Program this goes back

(28:19):
to The trump administration and HIS Ag Secretary Brooke rollins
announcing a nationwide audit of the food stamp program months.
Ago you, remember she And trump have every right to do,
this given that this is a federal program that's simply
administered by the. States but When rollins called on the
states to turn over their, data only the governors in
red states did. So virtually Every democrat run state has.

(28:40):
Refused it might be every single. One i'd have to,
look but they did because they know tons of fraud
will be uncovered and they know that they will be
found complicit in that. Fraud evers and the Slippery democrats
want to claim this is an attack on the people
on food stamps And trump wants to take away their
grocery money and cause them to, starve so we're not
going to help. That but that's not what this, is

(29:02):
and that's not what these lefty governors Like evers And
gavin newsom are really worried. About they're worried about all
of the institutional and decades long fraud that would be,
discovered and they're worried about all the evidence that would
come to light proving that they and their party have
been complicit in, it complicit in defrauding the federal government
to serve their own selfish purposes and redirect money into their. Campaigns,

(29:23):
meanwhile the fraud and virtually all of these social services
programs is so rampant that it's high time to rain
it all. In Since Brooke rollins can't Get blue state
leaders to turn over any of their food stamp, data
she and her team have been doing the audits on
the red state. Data she's looking at the data that
the red states willingly turned over because you, know you'd
think any honest governor or group of state lawmakers would

(29:45):
want to know if their welfare programs were being. Abused
and so the conservative governors and states, said, yeah take a,
look find the fraud in our. State and of, course
even in the red, states a significant amount of foodstamp
fraud is being. Found some of you might have seen
this late the latest this, Week rollins pointed to a
red state that she didn't specifically, name but she said
her auditors have found over fourteen thousand food stamp recipients

(30:08):
in that state who are registered as owning and driving luxury.
Cars that might just be an indication that they didn't
need food stamps and are defrauding the system. Right rollins's
team said that they connected fourteen thousand luxury vehicles to
food stamp enrollees in this. State the review found over
thirty six hundred food stamp recipients are Driving lexus, cars

(30:30):
about two thousand are Driving, tesla's about two thousand more
are driving, BMWs but eleven hundred are Driving, cadillacs eleven Drive,
lamborghinis three Drive, bentley's and three Drive. Ferraris so you
have A bentley Or ferrari or A lamborghini and you're
on food. Stamps rollins, said this is just in one.
State we need to defend our nutrition programs for those

(30:50):
most in, need not for scammers gaming the. System these
individuals are taking advantage of The american, taxpayer and of
course each instance would need to be reviewed individually to
if there's some explanation as to why someone would have
such a ritzy. Vehicle and still need food. Stamps BUT
i think any person with an AVERAGE iq would know
virtually all of these instances are going to be traced
back to. Fraud and so, Far Brooke rollins, says just

(31:14):
over the last year or, so The trump administration has
removed about four point three million people from our food stamp.
Rules these are people who either never should have qualified
but The biden administration was looking the other way and let,
them or were committing. Fraud and this is a solid.
Number you, know The biden team USED covid as an
excuse to balloon every possible social service and welfare program

(31:35):
that we, have which left us with a whopping forty
three Million americans on food stamps by the Time biden
led off left. Office rollin says That trump's team has
knocked that down to about thirty eight million as Of.
January that's solid. Progress and chalk this up as more
of the sort of never ending in ramp and fraud
that our elected officials have allowed to go on and

(31:55):
even encouraged for, decades and That trump and Only trump
and his team are actually moving to. Stop only time
will tell whether they're ultimately successful or how successful they are,
Here but there are all sorts of efforts underway in
this administration to root out fraud and wasteful, spending and
let's hope this effort actually pays off in some significant
ways Before trump leaves. Office he and his team have

(32:16):
three more years to review and, reform after, all And
god blessed them for doing, it because no other administration
in my lifetime has had a genuine interest in doing.
So my, friends The United Arab emirates LEAVING opek is,
huge And i'll try to make this interesting for, you
BECAUSE i just sent some eyes glazing. Over this is,
big and YET i haven't seen much reporting that really

(32:38):
frames this in a way that really explains this to
The american. People So i'm going to. Try most people
know that THE Opec nations are a group of oil producing,
countries most of them are in The Persian, gulf and
these countries literally formed a cartel decades ago to control
global oil. PRICES Opec nations literally set quotas and hold
themselves to production limits so they can sell their oil

(32:59):
at the highest price possible and control in the price
and flow of. Oil they're manipulating the. Market there are
currently thirteen countries IN, opec and it Includes Saudi, Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya,
nigeria Even, venezuela and Until may, first The United Arab.
Emirates and it's safe to say it would be a
blow to their cartel monopoly if any of these members.

(33:20):
Left but THE uae is the third largest oil producer
among these, countries and very, importantly THE uae is The
Middle eastern country that has the second largest amount of
oil that it could be recovering but. Isn't part of
this cartel collusion effort is obviously to keep a bunch
of oil in the ground in order to keep prices.
Higher in this, arrangement you need to consider which countries

(33:41):
are agreeing to not pump. More which countries are sitting
on all sorts of oil that they love to get
out of the ground but can't because the cartel limits
what they can. Do they're limiting their overall production for
the good of the cartel instead of going whole hog
and amping up production to benefit their own people in
their own. Economy get. It aside from being the third
BIGGEST opec, producer THE uae is the country that's sitting

(34:04):
on the second biggest pool of oil that isn't being
extracted out of the. Ground so if THE uae leaders
are agreeing it's time to LEAVE opek so they don't
have to live under its restrictions on, drilling oh, boy
you can see what sort of effect is going to
have on the global oil. Markets, apparently THESE uae leaders
have been looking to Leave opek for some. Time they
believe that it's been in their national interest to drill

(34:25):
more and boost their own country's, fortunes. Etc and they're
seeing now is the right time to. Leave The iranian
war has The strait Of hormuz closed To iranian. Oil
there are shortages in those countries Like china that Buy iranian.
Oil THE uae could step up and fill those shortages
if the OTHER opec members weren't restraining, them. Etc you
can see why now is a particularly good time for

(34:45):
the leaders OF uae to make this, move especially because
they are the country that just bore the brunt of
the attacks From. Iran Remember iran turned around and shot
a bunch of missiles at their. NEIGHBORS a lot of
them were aimed at THE, uae but Only Saudi Arabian
iraq are. BIGGER opec oil producers than THE, Uae what

(35:06):
happens to them and what new calculations do their leaders
need to make if the third largest and probably the
second most POWERFUL opec member leaves and starts undermining the
cartel's price fixing. Effort the reason that THE uae is
LEAVING opec is that it no longer wants to be.
Restrained its leaders are itching to produce more, oil which is.
Fantastic so the reason this is a big deal short

(35:27):
term is that it will WEAKEN opec and should over
time lead to lower global gas, prices as the REMAINING
opec members are only able to control a smaller percentage
of overall oil. Production right, NOW opec nations control about
thirty eight percent of all global oil. Production if THE
uae leaves as a major, producer that, percentage of course
slides lower and probably lowers the overall oil prices in

(35:50):
the short. Term but this could also be a huge
deal long term Because america and The western nations have
been trying to break UP opec for. Generations america's leaders
in particular have had a long time in in breaking
opec stranglehold on production and. Pricing it's Why trump's efforts
to drill here and make THE us the global producer
of oil has been such a mission for this. President
he Wants america to play a bigger role in these,

(36:12):
markets and he's making it. Happen. Folks THE uae is
the most influential member OF opek aside From Saudi. Arabia
The saudis, are of course the eight hundred pound, gorilla
the top oil producing country in that, cartel but THE
uae has been the second most, powerful and so having
them pull out OF opec is basically knocking one leg
from under THE opec. Stool it MAKES opec structurally weaker

(36:33):
and further limits their ability to manipulate oil. Prices this
is a huge. Deal it isn't likely to affect oil
and gas prices, immediately especially if the global market is
cut off from Any iranian, oil but the industry experts
think that we could see the effects of this on
lower pricing about a year from, now or after the straight.
Reopens the other important thing to point, out and The
left is going to really hate, this but the other

(36:56):
important fact we need to mention here is that this
is at least partially due To trump's efforts to BOOST
us fracking in The american oil. Industry it is just
clear that the emergence of The United states as a
major global producer of fossil fuels has changed the opek.
Equation as The Wall Street journal editors put it this,
week this is another foreign policy victory For american fossil fuel.

(37:16):
Energy and it hasn't been The democrats or The obama
And biden administrations who've been backing fracking and the expansion
of THE us fossil fuel industries has. It The Wall
Street journal editors don't specifically Credit Donald trump in that,
sentence but they. Should who should get the. Credit america's
shale boom and the additional glut of oil and natural
gas that it's created isn't because of Anything obama or

(37:38):
The biden administrations. Did in, fact it's despite the best
efforts of The obama And biden administrations they wanted to
kill Off american fossil fuel. Production we arrive here in
this place playing a dominant global energy role because Of.
Trump who gets the credit for this foreign policy win
that the editors of The Wall Street journal, site if

(37:58):
Not Donald. Trump america is producing over thirteen million barrels
of oil per day in twenty twenty, six which is
more than double the rate that we were producing back
in The obama. Years in twenty, Ten america was only
pumping about five million barrels of oil a. Day how
did we get from five million barrels a day to
over thirteen? Million trump and his. Policies how did it

(38:19):
become a global leader when it came to liquid natural gas?
Production trump and his. Policies this success is despite the
best efforts of The, democrats their, administrations and their ECOSL
at activists to kill off fossil fuel production In, america
and it makes this news particularly delicious to. Me another
massive failure for the left and another international win For

(38:39):
trump and common sense in The american. People. Fantastic in,
fact according to the industry, Experts america's oil producers have
been forced to become so lean and mean and efficient
they can now make a profit so long as oil
remains above about fifty bucks a. Barrel, meanwhile THESE opec
nations need to keep the price per barrel up around
eighty to one hundred. Bucks that gives you a hint

(39:00):
as to how Much america's energy boom is harming and
frustrating THESE opec nations then recognize that even as that,
happens even As President trump And america are cutting INTO
opec profits and annoying them in that, Way consider That Saudi,
arabia THE, uae and the leaders of most of THESE
opec countries are siding With america in the war Against
iran oil. Prices, aside the leaders of most of these

(39:21):
nations would love to see regime change In, iran including THE.
Uae they know the entire region is safer because of
What trump And Benjamin, netanya who have already done To.
Iran Most, americans of, course misunderstand The Middle. East they
think that that's all Quote arabs over, there and they
all support and back each. Other that's. Wrong these are different,
countries different. Ethnicities there are all sorts of different tribal

(39:44):
alliances and animosities that go back thousands of. Years in
addition to, That iran's leaders thought it was smart to
lob missiles and attack some of these countries As israel
in THE us was attacking. Them remember, remember in the
earliest days of the, War iran's leaders chose to lob
missiles At Saudi, arabia THE, Uae, Kuwait, Cutter the leaders
of these countries would like to see the Evil mullas

(40:05):
And iran out of. Power and so even As trump's
strategy and global energy is cutting into their profits and
for the first time is actually chipping away at, opek
the leaders of these nations are still Supporting america in
that region when it comes to The iran. War in
a lot of, instances you can scoff at this notion
Of Donald trump playing THREE d or FOUR d chess
when his fawning fans want to make that claim no

(40:27):
matter what he. Does but when it comes to How
trump and his teams are handling the global energy policy
and how they're working it in concert with foreign, policy
it is. Brilliant and you know it's brilliant based on
how crazy all of this is making The democrats and
the activist. Left their mouthpieces keep sounding more and more
ridiculous as The trump administration keeps racking up these foreign policy. Wins,

(40:48):
yeah gas prices are too, high and, yes that's going
to make it more difficult For republicans to win elections
this fall and try to keep their majorities In. Congress
but the president should get credit for deciding to do
what's difficult necessary when it comes To iran and world,
affairs even though he knew it was going to negatively
affect his, economy our gas, prices and the overall view
of The american. People when it comes to the question

(41:11):
are things getting? Better how Is trump doing Our trump
and The republicans keeping their. Promises trump And biebe's necessary
war harms this president's approval rating in poll. Numbers But
trump claims he told his economic, people, look you're going
to hate, me but we can't allow iron to get nuclear.
Weapons he was, saying my need to start a military
action Against iran is going to disrupt our careful plans

(41:32):
for the. Economy it's going to skyrocket oil prices and
could cause economic. Harm but we have to do. It
we must do what's in the best interests of The
american people in The western. WORLD i don't know about,
you but that's the type of PRESIDENT i. WANT i
want someone leading this country who sees the board clearly
and who is serious about dealing with the threats to this.
NATION i don't want a president Like Barack obama Or Joe, biden,

(41:55):
who along with their pathetic team of, advisors chooses to
look the other way on THE loeus threats because doing
something about them might temporarily upset The american people or
harm their approval. Ratings it's now clear that If republicans
lose more congressional seats than expected in, fall it'll be
because Most americans still don't see the economy bouncing. Back
but it is what it. Is Most americans still don't

(42:17):
see their paychecks going. Further they still see the price
of gas up At biden And obama era. Levels BUT
i agree That trump had to act Against iran and
finally take care of that forty year terror threat against
The western. World he had to be the, serious sober
adult who finally took on head on this, problem and
he continues to do. So this week's news that The

(42:37):
president has told his advisers to prepare for an extended
blockade Of iran and has okayed more target sanctions toward
individuals and countries Helping iran financially right now proves that
this president is dealing with This iranian threat in a
serious way and wants to take care of the problem long.
Term the easy political move For trump now would be
to basically cut and. Run it's what virtually every other

(42:58):
presidential administration would have. Done drop some, bombs declare, victory
and run instead of trying to manage your way through
a longer slog that might harm you politically or get.
Messy you, know it's the right way to handle the.
Problem poll numbers be. Damned trump's combination of bombings and
blockades now has irun right where he should want. Them
if these Evil malas aren't going to give up, power

(43:20):
we want them isolated from the, world desperate and, neutered
and that's right Where trump has. THEM i hope you've
seen the reports that Indicate iran's leaders might be forced
to shut down the oil production. Entirely they're sitting on
a bunch of oil already that they can't get to,
market to the point that they're using every storage facility
they have just to try to handle the stockpile that's backed.
Up they can't get their main export to. Market iran's

(43:43):
economy is very quickly going to be dead in the,
water and everyone involved knows, it including The. Malas so
why Would trump let them off the mat now just
to salvage's poll numbers In. April it's far, smarter if
you really care about this country to stay the, course
and If President trump would his maneuvers can also bring
about the downfall OF, opek that'd be. Huge it'd be

(44:04):
another significant win for humanity and for The western. World
and WHAT i mean IS opek crumbling would lead to
freer markets and lower energy prices. Globally long. Term it
would also be a boost to developing nations who have
oil and natural gas reserves but are basically frozen out
of any effort to extract it and profit from it
due to OPEC's decades long stranglehold on global. PRICES opec

(44:28):
nations have basically been engaging in monopolistic behavior and economic
warfare against the rest of the world for, decades and
due To trump's, moves they might finally be losing their.
Stranglehold but don't expect today's, leftists democrats And america haters
to give them any credit for. It as, always we
just need to hope that the historians will get it.
Right and my, Friends i'm more convinced than ever that

(44:49):
we are living through an historic presidency and an important
era IN us. History our grandchildren's grandchildren will be studying
The trump era in history class and on college, campuses
and they'll be Studying Donald trump as a unique and
Colorful american, president at the very least just as likely
they'll be studying him as one Of america's great. Presidents
there's no doubt that this man and his teams have

(45:11):
made indelible marks on this country, already and they might
go down in history as writing The american ship, course
correcting An american society right when it needed, it and
keeping another wave Of america haters at.
