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 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 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 a GLP one. I just wonder how they're going to
diagnose this condition in people who are already flabby, depressed morons. Hey, maybe you're depressed over your finances. If that's the case, have you heard about Creative Planning.

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 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 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 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 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 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,
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
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
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
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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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
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, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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.
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
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
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 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.
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 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, 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 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 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 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
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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
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
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
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, 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 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
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, 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
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 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
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
