Ep. 148 dissects Trump’s war on Venezuela’s narco-terrorist Cartel de las Soles, citing 23 destroyed boats, 87 deaths since September 2025, and 250,000 U.S. overdose deaths tied to Maduro’s cocaine trade. The November 24 FTO designation and $50M bounty on Maduro escalate pressure, while Hezbollah-linked raids and María Karina Machado’s extraction signal direct action. Critics call it war crimes; supporters argue 96% trafficking disruption justifies strikes. Meanwhile, DOJ materials expose Epstein-Clinton ties, Venezuela’s gold trafficking funds narco-wars, and Brown University’s mass shooting disrupts the narrative—leaving Trump’s "final solution" for Maduro’s regime as the defining clash of sovereignty vs. global cartels. [Automatically generated summary]
Four years ago, we watched drugs pour across an open border.
Today, 87 narco-terrorists are dead and 23 boats are on the ocean floor because one president decided to fight back.
Since September 2nd, 2025, President Trump's military has executed 22 precision strikes on narco-terrorist vessels on the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.
87 dead, 23 boats reduced to ash.
These aren't abstract tallies.
They're the body count of a socialist regime that weaponized cocaine and fentanyl precursors to kill our children.
Nicolas Maduro's Cartel de las Soles isn't just trafficking.
It's waging asymmetric war on the United States, funneling death through Trende Aragua death squads we rightly designated foreign terrorists in February.
Under Biden's weak need diplomacy, this poison flooded our borders unchecked.
Trump, he's enforcing the law of the hemisphere.
No mercy for those who bleed America dry.
96% of the drugs coming in by water, every one of those boats you see get shot down.
You just saved 25,000 American lives.
But we knocked out 96% of the drugs coming in by water, and now we're starting by land.
And by land, it's a lot easier.
And that's going to start happening.
And we're not going to have people destroying our youth, destroying our families.
That inferno marked the dawn.
The boat loaded with 1,000 kilograms of cocaine salvaged in the historic U.S.-Dominican joint op was Maduro's direct line to our streets.
By October, strikes hit ELN guerrilla-linked vessels, dismantling the network fueling 250,000 American overdose deaths from 2021 to 2024 per CDC data, with synthetics like fentanyl in 60% of the cases.
Venezuela's ports transit the cocaine vector.
Mexico and China supply the precursors.
But Maduro, the enabler, his $50 million bounty from August, underscoring the rot.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
La Don't worry.
Be happy.
La Death bits.
Not war.
Let's cut through the fog.
Maduro's regime isn't a failed state.
It's a criminal enterprise.
The Cartel de las Soles, his general's son insignia side hustle, routes 5 to 24 percent of global cocaine through Venezuelan military ports per the UNODC's 2025 World Drug Report.
Trende Aragua, not migrants fleeing tyranny.
Their Maduros exported hitmen, terrorizing our sanctuary cities with violence and smuggling.
Critics whine about civilian fishermen.
Tell that to the Dominican Navy that recovered those Coke bales post-strike.
If you can seize an oil tank without killing anyone, shouldn't that have been the way that these fishing boats will also seize?
Fishing boats?
What is a fishing boat?
The drug runners?
Those aren't fishing boats.
Those aren't fishing boats.
If you can see the charge, they're in turbocharged.
Okay.
Well, let's talk about Article II authority.
The president is the commander-in-chief has identified and designated terrorist organizations who are cartels who run drugs that kill 100,000 Americans a year.
So there's no legal question that he has the legal ability to blow those boats out of the water.
And they will continue.
This, however, these were economic sanctions by the president as delegated by Congress.
Those were enforced by civil authorities with the aid of the U.S. Navy.
So we're talking about two very different things.
But if you're asking me if I have sympathy for narco-terrorists killing Americans whose boats that are carrying the drugs that kill Americans, I don't.
I have sympathy for my neighbors in Missouri who've been poisoned, who die.
And we finally have a president who cares about them more than the Democrats care about going down to El Salvador to drink margaritas with terrorists.
That's how I feel about it.
Human rights groups demand public evidence.
The administration's Intel-led targeting speaks.
No apologies for defending American lives under Article II and the 2001 AUMF.
Treating these thugs as unlawful combatants in an armed conflict.
Trump notified Congress on October 1.
Leftist hand-wringers ignore the real war crime.
Maduro's fentanyl flood, a WMD killing our kids while he rigs elections with smart matic tech and cozies up to Iran and Hezbollah.
So our message to these foreign terrorist organizations is we will treat you like we have treated Al-Qaeda.
We will find you, we will map your networks, we will hunt you down, and we will kill you.
And you've seen that evidence in the maritime domain, whether it's in the Caribbean or in the Pacific with the last two strikes.
We know exactly who these people are.
We know what networks they work with, what foreign terrorist organizations they're a part of.
We know where they're going, where they originated from, what they're carrying.
And they know we know.
And that will soon start to change the calculus of these boats.
That's the steel curtain now, including USS Bainbridge, USS Mayhan, F-35 jets, and a Virginia-class nuclear sub has Venezuela in a vice.
The Secretary of War's vow, we will hunt them down day or night.
But here's the fresh escalation you won't hear from the swamp.
December 12, U.S. Special Ops Marines, repelling from Blackhawks, seize the largest sanctioned old tanker ever off Maduro's coast, loaded with crude tied to Hezbollah financing and Iranian electronic warfare gear.
Trump confirmed, we're keeping the old, starving the regime's 700 million in frozen assets.
Same day, opposition lioness Maria Karina Machado was exfiltrated past 10 checkpoints.
F-18s buzz the gulf.
More tankers in the crosshairs.
This isn't gunboat bluster.
It's surgical strangulation.
That you see get blown up.
We saved 25,000 on average lives, 25,000 lives.
And they've been sending enough of this horrible fentanyl and other things like cocaine and other things, but fentanyl right now is the leader of the pack to kill our entire nation.
Because a little speck on the head of a pin can kill somebody.
Forget the globalist pearl clutching.
Maduro's Republican arms is a narco-thiefdom begging for the Reagan treatment.
Grenada 2.0 minus the forever war trap.
The solution?
Ironclad and immediate.
1. Sustain the strikes.
Coast Guard seizures tripled to 231,000 kilograms of cocaine in fiscal year 2025, disrupting flows that leftist open borders invited.
2. Escalate sanctions on Cartel de las Soles.
FTO designated November 24, choking their Iranian proxies.
3. Back Machado's democratic surge.
Her extraction signals the regime's cracks, flood the airwaves with carvigils, leaks, intel exposing Chavez's criminal syndicate.
4. Secure the old.
Venezuela's world's largest reserves flow to Chevron, not Beijing, rebuilding our energy fortress.
5. Fortify the border.
Southcom's 15,000 warriors pair with Waltech to seal Mexico's fentanyl pipeline.
The real killer per DEA 2025.
No new wars, just reclaiming sovereignty.
Maduro falls voluntarily, or the boats and the tankers keep burning.
This is America first.
Lives saved, cartels crushed, hemisphere ours.
Hegzith nailed it.
Treat them like al-Qaeda.
No quarter for those smuggling death.
This isn't theater, it's enforcement.
With 87 threats neutralized and the tanker seized, Trump's squeezing the tyrant till he cracks, facts over fear, America's leading, borders hardening, kids safer, the narco-navy sinks, the republic rises.
God bless our warriors.
God bless the United States.
This is Jules Jones.
Grab a cup of tea and settle in as we begin a political rendezvous.
It's time for another political rendezvous.
Welcome to Tea Spilling Saturdays.
If you are new here, welcome to our tea room.
My name is Jules Jones, and on Saturdays, I go through the biggest political stories of the week.
If you are interested in news and politics, I recommend you follow our channel.
I throw a tea party every Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
You can also visit our website to catch up on past shows.
We load them all over there.
I hope you all have had a wonderful week.
It has definitely not been a dull one.
Hello, gems!
Happy Saturday!
Well, before we begin today, let's all wish a happy 389th birthday to the National Guard.
The National Guard was founded on December 13th, 1636 in Massachusetts Bay Colony, making the National Guard older than the country itself.
In light of the recent cowardly murder of a National Guardsman in Washington, D.C., it seems appropriate to recognize the birthday of the oldest component of our United States Armed Forces with thanks.
Decisions and Drug Flow00:04:59
The topic of today's show is sinking Maduro's narco-navy.
Let's start with a few high-level facts before we get into the thick of it.
Fentanyl overdose deaths, they rose dramatically over the last 10 years, leaving a tragic and absolutely heartbreaking trail of personal and family destruction for angel moms and angel dads across the country.
It is clear that the wide open border and absence of any meaningful drug trafficking enforcement exasperated the problem.
American children and young adults were dying by the thousands, and nothing was being done to stop it.
For four long years, the Biden administration did absolutely nothing to stop the flow of drugs into the country.
This changed abruptly when President Trump was inaugurated last January and immediately and effectively closed the border.
This left the cartels with a problem.
How to transport their poisonous product?
Well, the overseas route seemed like a reasonable alternative, at least until September.
Starting on September 2nd, the United States began destroying the boats used by the narco-terrorist drug cartels, which have been designated as terrorist organizations.
The boats are known to carry fentanyl and cocaine.
Thus far, 23 boats have been destroyed, including one confirmed narco-terrorist submarine destroyed on October 18th.
This has disrupted the flow of drugs into the United States, and the rate of fentanyl overdose deaths is dropping.
Simply put, as he promised he would, President Trump has taken swift, direct action to protect the people of the United States and stop the flow of deadly illegal drugs into the country.
Our children and grandchildren are safer now.
Not surprisingly, Democrats oppose these actions.
As Americans, they should be celebrating, but they are Democrats first and Americans second.
This is yet another example of the destructive side of the Trump derangement syndrome that they all possess.
They do not want President Trump to exercise any power ever, even when it is for the clear benefit of the people of the United States.
It's absurd, and it must be called out for the destructive sickness that it is.
But this is not the only example of this Democrat lunacy.
Another parallel example is in regard to the imposition of tariffs for the good of the country.
Democrats are nearly out of their minds about it.
Even though the tariffs are clearly benefiting the country and successfully working in many different ways, these tariffs effectively leverage the enormous economic power of the United States.
Laughably, in both examples, destruction of narco-terrorist boats and the imposition of tariffs because it's Trump, Democrats argue that such decisions should be made solely by Congress.
Except Congress is incapable of making decisions.
Just look at the mess they have made of the budget, national debt, healthcare, education, immigration, and countless other critical issues.
They even objected when President Trump destroyed Iraq's nuclear ambitions, making the entire world a safer place.
They make speeches, they argue, they vote, they stall, they dodge, they weave, they lie.
But they do not make decisions.
They bloviate.
That's all.
This is the reason why congressional approval ratings are consistently low.
The hyper-partisan behavior in Congress has left it in a perpetual state of gridlock.
And that's a very dangerous thing when actions need to be taken quickly for the good of the entire country.
Congress does not act quickly and mostly does not act at all.
They despise President Trump for properly using his executive authority to take action.
The argument is completely absurd.
Because of the decisive actions taken by President Trump, the United States is a much safer place.
The drug flow has been significantly slowed, and our economic might is being leveraged for good with countries around the globe.
As we go through the stories today of sinking Maduro's narco-navy, please keep in mind that absolutely none of the benefits would have been realized if Congress was responsible for making the tough decisions.
Some critically important things must be left in the hands of America First, Chief Executive, for the good of the country.
Top News Story Countdown00:07:25
But before we get into sinking Maduro's narco-navy, we'll begin today's show with our four starter segments, our top news story countdown, which takes a more tongue-in-cheek approach to this week's mostly wonderful news stories.
We'll review our current breaking news and ex-news for today, our What is Wrong with These People segment, showing how the left has dumbed down our society, and then our In Case You Missed It segment, which provides updates on stories from past shows.
Now look, I love having you all here at 3 p.m. Eastern every Saturday, but I get it, it's the holidays and you all are very, very busy.
If for some reason you can't be here or if you've missed any of our live shows, you can always watch them later.
You can just visit our website.
It's JulesJonesLive.com.
I load them right after each show ends.
As always, a special thank you to all of our refugees for finding your way to new live stream platforms, which can also be found on the website.
I truly appreciate you.
Then we'll spill the tea with this week's show, Sinking Maduro's Narco Navy.
Following that, I'll dish up some rumors from online chatter that you will not want to miss in our Daily Dish segment.
And then finally, we'll cover this week's question of the day, where you get to provide your answers in the show comments.
But for now, settle in, get comfortable with your beverage of choice as we begin this week's political rendezvous.
Let's spill some tea, shall we?
And we kick it off, as we always do, for Saturday, 12-13, our top news stories for the week.
Coming in at number 10.
Watchdog discovers almost $100 million in Obamacare subsidies were paid for dead people.
Seems about right.
After all, every one of those dead people voted for Democrats.
They need to be rewarded.
Jims, someone is cashing those checks, and whoever they are must be brought to justice.
That's our money they're stealing.
It's crazy.
In at number nine, we've got the socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mam Dammy.
He appoints a convicted armed robber to lead his criminal justice team in New York City.
This also seems about right.
He has already appointed someone who is anti-automobile to head his traffic team, and he has pledged to stop the practice of clearing out homeless tent cities.
So, why not put an armed robber in charge of public safety?
The destruction of New York City has begun.
In at number eight, Biden FBI knew the identity of the DC pipe bomber in 2021.
Let me read that to you one more time.
Biden FBI knew the identity of the DC pipe bomber in 2021.
They knew, but they also knew that his identity as a Trump-hating black man would blow apart their entire insurrection narrative.
So they hid it.
Christopher Wray must answer for what he did.
Coming in at number seven, you've got the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25 basis points.
Too late.
Interest rates should have been at this level six months ago.
It's very obvious Powell is slow rolling these rate cuts to suppress growth in President Trump's economy.
As usual, too late Powell has reacted far too late and provided far too little.
In at number six, Tom Homan is looking at Ilhan Omar's immigration files over alleged fraudulent marriage to her brother.
Oh, I can't wait to see what Tom Homan finds.
The sheer lunacy of having a Somali loyalist as a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives must end.
Permanent deportation would be the quickest way to get this done.
Her husband brother can go too.
In at number five, Appeals Court scolds Biden judge, sides with Hegzith on transgender military ban.
Isn't it odd that when the appeals court overruled the activist leftist judges, it almost gets zero attention in the media?
Gee, I wonder why that is.
In at number four, Senate leader John Thune says GAO audit found Obamacare handed out subsidies to 90% of completely fake accounts.
Democrats must have put Oprah in charge of the subsidy disbursement process.
You get a subsidy and you get a subsidy and you and you and you get a subsidy.
No vetting or verification required.
Just shovel our tax dollars out the door.
In at number three, you have Schumer who erupts after the Senate blocks Democrat bill to extend expiring Obamacare subsidies.
Desperately blames Republicans for the disaster Democrats created.
It would be comical if it didn't involve so much of our money.
Obamacare is like a nuclear reactor without any safety features.
It's going to blow.
But after Democrats created Obamacare, shoved it through Congress without a single Republican vote and kept extending subsidies which threatened to bankrupt the country, Schumer is upset that the outrageous and corrupt subsidies are not extended.
He sounds really stupid and very desperate.
If he could, Schumer would blame Republicans for putting the cheese on the raw burgers on his grill.
He loves to blame Republicans for his failures.
In at number two, Democrat Representative Benny Thompson calls DC National Guard terror attack an unfortunate accident.
A terrorist walked up and shot a National Guardsman in the head, taking her life.
That was no accident.
That was a cowardly, intentional murder of a U.S. service member.
To categorize it as an accident is an insult to every American and especially to every service member and veteran.
Democrats are utterly despicable and Thompson should resign in disgrace immediately.
That comment is unforgivable.
Start Question of the Day00:05:29
And our number one biggest story for this week.
Minnesota Somali fraud may reach 8 billion, eight times larger than originally reported.
Somalis in Minnesota have done nothing but defraud this country.
And Tampon Tim Waltz let it happen.
When the arrests are made, this will be a massive sweep.
Wouldn't that be a great Christmas present, Minnesota?
Well, there you have it.
Our top news stories for the week.
And we're going to head on over to see what the top news stories for today are on our X segment.
I want to also just quickly let you all know how thankful I am for each and every one of you.
And thank you for reaching out to Rob Plegram Sr.
As you all know, he had a health scare this week and it was incredibly scary.
Now, obviously, Rob is doing very well and he had a lot of time in his hands or they wouldn't leave him alone because he was able to put together a fantastic monologue and top 10.
Nothing stops him.
But my goodness, it was scary.
And he told me that the outreach from all of you was just incredible.
Just absolutely amazing.
Jims, you are just the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful people, and it is so appreciated.
I just love you and I love our group here.
I just love being with you every Saturday.
You are truly unique.
You're wonderful.
So thank you so much.
Rob actually texted me and said, I can't believe it.
I've gotten so much love, so many prayers, so many things.
Another person, just to keep in your thoughts and prayers, is Hobbit.
Hobbit has been going through something with her husband and sister.
And as you all know, she's put together videos for this show before.
And she's just a wonderful, wonderful person.
And just wanted to give her a little shout out.
I know the holidays are really tough and she's just a beautiful soul.
So please keep her as well as Scott Adams, who I see is really having a real tough go of it lately, also in your prayers and everyone else.
I pray for everyone every single day.
And so just keep that going.
Prayers do definitely work.
We've seen it time and time again.
All right, so we're going to start with our question of the day so that you can go ahead and get started.
This is where I ask you a question.
And at the end of the show, after you've had time to answer, I'll give you a shout out.
I normally go over to the X page, which is at Jules Jones Live.
That's my X page where I publish it.
And then also on YouTube, just so I can look like I'm being fair because I can't for some reason.
I know it's user operator error, but can't retrieve them from truth.
I just have a very difficult time.
I don't know what that's about, but that's my dilemma.
So we're going to start out with the question of the day.
Here it is.
It's time for today's question of the day.
Should the federal government regulate AI?
Yes or no?
Share your thoughts.
They could be featured live this Saturday, December 13th, during a political rendezvous at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
Pick your viewing platform at julesjoneslive.com.
Okay, so you have homework.
There is your question.
It has been put out there for you to respond.
It's right there on my page.
And I want to give a special shout out to each and every single one of you, to the mods and everybody else that does incredible work on this show.
But Patriot Lioness at Patriot underscore Lioness always puts out a post, a promo post to let everybody know how to find us every single week, not only on this show, but also in the litter box with Cat Turd.
And so we just appreciate it because I know what a pain it is.
I do them too.
And it really gets old.
It gets a little repetitious trying to come up with something new to post and put out there, right?
I mean, same day, just another topic.
But yes, I appreciate that.
And then we got one from Jackie.
And Jackie is hilarious.
Now, Jackie at Jackie1321 underscore 67.
She puts together little videos.
So I hope this one plays for me.
You never know how it's going to work for me on X in this show.
Sometimes the broadcasting, I have a little bit of problems, but a few problems, but, or big problems.
It depends on the day.
But she put this one together and hopefully it'll play for you.
Check it out.
Hello, everyone.
It's me, your favorite president.
We are doing everything we can to make America safe again.
Join my great friend, Jules Jones, today for a political rendezvous at 3 p.m. Eastern.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hello, everyone.
Isn't that fabulous?
Oh my gosh, she's so clever.
She really is.
So anyway, I want to go ahead and get you all up on the show so I can see you.
Here we go.
Let's see what's happening.
Well, we've got one from the White House.
And they are copying the Democrats.
Tina Peters' Legal Troubles00:05:19
Hate, hate, hate, double hate, loathe entirely.
How the illegals stole health care.
Oh, that's a good one.
Then you have another one from DC underscore Draino who says, if we start seeing face-disfiguring acid attacks in America, you are going to see support for mass deportation skyrocket amongst women.
This barbaric practice destroys people's faces.
Church-going Georgia woman, who is 46 years young, suffered severe burns in a random toxic chemical attack while walking at Park.
Now, you hear about this happening in the Middle East.
You've seen some of the women that have been completely disfigured.
If that starts here, I would have to agree that people would all of a sudden start changing their tunes.
However, with the crime and all the things that have been happening in New York City, you would think by now they would not vote in a communist, but we also know why they did, because most of the people that were voting are not from this country.
We got to wrangle this stuff in.
I'm serious, or America is going to be forever lost.
An update on Tina Peters, and this is at RealTina Peters.
And you know that she's not posting.
This is probably somebody, a family member, or somebody that's keeping us all in the loop because she's been in solitary confinement and President Trump pardoned her this week, just so everyone knows.
But the state is going to give us a lot of problems getting her out.
But this is what her latest post is.
It says, what everyone needs to know, the state of Colorado broke federal law.
Why?
The evidence Tina Peters preserved was required by federal law.
Judge Matthew Barrett refused to let the jury hear Tina's defense during trial.
41 motions were denied, preventing the jury from hearing the truth.
Clerk Peters is the only clerk in Colorado to preserve proof of illegal deletion of election records from the 2020 presidential election by the SOS Secretary of State Jenna Griswold.
Free Tina Peters.
TinaPeters.us.
You can help her out there.
You can go visit her website.
What has happened to her is just barbaric.
It is unbelievable.
She is a political prisoner in this country, and she needs to be released as soon as possible.
Not to mention the fact that she is a patriot.
So they're terrified of what she will reveal, and they don't want any more Tina Peters popping up.
But we're all Tina Peters, are we not?
I mean, we have never accepted a stolen election.
Never, not this group, not no way, not know how, not doing it.
So again, if they can go after her, they can go after you, just like they did the January 6ers.
We have got to fix this country.
Robbie Starbuck is responding to a post by Ted Cruz.
And at Ted Cruz put this one out.
He says, if this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.
This is about Elon marrying her brother.
All right, now we have got the receipts now.
You've got the marriage license application and all of these things.
People are starting to see this one fly around.
President Trump even reposted it.
But here are the statutes.
Federal marriage fraud, 8 U.S.C., Section 1325C.
This federal law makes it a felony to knowingly enter into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws.
Penalties, a conviction can result up to five years in federal prison, a fine up to $250,000, or both.
The non-citizen involved would also be subject to deportation and permanently barred from receiving any future U.S. immigration benefits.
State incest laws.
All U.S. states prohibit marriage and sexual relations between close blood relatives, including a brother and a sister.
Minnesota law, as Ilhan Omar, said representative from Minnesota, and the alleged events are tied to the state.
The relevant law would be Minnesota statute, section 609.365.
This statute defines incest as having sexual intercourse with another person nearer of kin than a first cousin with knowledge of the relationship.
Penalties.
Incest is a felony in Minnesota and it is punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years.
Tax fraud.
26 U.S. Code, Section 7206.1.
If a couple filed joint federal tax returns while not legally married due to the marriage being void or still being married to another person, they could be charged with willfully making and subscribing to a false return.
Penalties.
This is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 or $500,000 for a corporation.
Imprisonment for up to three years or both.
All right, so this is really great, Ted.
Ellison's Defense of Travel00:05:20
We really appreciate you rallying behind it, if it's true.
However, Robbie makes a good point.
I'm sorry, but no one cares anymore because we all know this is from her first election and basically no one has done anything about it except fundraise off of it.
Wake me up when she's deported.
Until then, I'm sick of hearing about empty threats.
Hello.
I think we can all agree with that statement.
You've got Wright Angle News Network, who put this one out, amid the revelation that Minnesota AG Keith Ellison met and took money from Somali fraudsters.
It has now been revealed that his son has been collecting a $110,000 salary and a $57,000 living expense stipend from Minnesota City Council while attending Harvard.
This morning, Jeremiah Ellison was among the outgoing city council members to get an honorary resolution for their years of service.
So I give my gratitude to the North Side.
But one issue not mentioned, where he's been the final five months of his term.
Harvard University as a Loeb Fellow.
R.J. Coles first broke this story this summer, and it caught some off guard.
His Ward 5 constituents deserve a council member who shows up.
Ellison is splitting his time between here and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
He's still earning his $110,000 city salary on top of a $57,000 stipend from Harvard.
Now Five Investigates has obtained these internal emails showing Ellison's office one and more.
They requested the Ward 5 budget to cover travel expenses, specifically round-trip travel between Minneapolis and Boston, so Ellison could attend city council meetings every other week from August to the end of the year.
In response to Ellison's request, the city clerk acknowledged the prestigious program, but said it's a personal professional development opportunity.
And travel for this purpose is not allowed.
It's very disconcerting.
We sat down with two very engaged Ward 5 residents.
As a retired math teacher, I can't imagine asking my students to pay for me to commute to and from school.
We are his constituents.
I also am glad that the city rejected that request.
Ellison has long maintained he can do both, even from afar, but fellow council members kicked him off most committees.
Here's what he told our Eric Shalou in September.
You'll certainly see me at council meetings, barring some kind of emergency, but you'll certainly see me at full council.
But our review of council attendance records shows he's missed five of the 11 meetings ever since he's accepted that Harvard fellowship.
Now, I was at that city council this morning, that meeting, but was only able to talk to Ellison via text message where he called this story flimsy, a hit piece, and refused to do an interview unless I could prove that this was somehow in the public's interest.
By the way, he appeared to defend that request, saying the travel was related to his urban planning-related education and urban planning-related job.
His term ends in January.
Live at City Hall, Ryan Rais, 5 Eye Witness News.
Thank you.
Unreal.
Is it not?
I mean, it never surprises, does it?
Well, then you've got President Trump just in.
Devastating new poll for Indiana rhinos.
They find that a whopping 72% of state Republican voters support the 2026 redistricting, while only 17 oppose coefficient.
A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans voted against what a super majority of their base wants.
This is not only betrayal of MAGA, but a scandal.
They all must be kicked out of office.
So we've got a list of 21 people who voted no on the map.
This is thanks to Eric L. Daw.
And you've got Eric Bassler, Vanetta Becker.
You have Mike Bohack.
You have Roderick Bray, Brian Buchanan, James Buck, Ed Charbonnet, Mike Kreider, Spencer Deary, Dan Dernolk, Blake Doriot, Susan Glick, Greg Good, Travis Holdman, Gene Lising.
Then we have Ryan Mischler, Rich Niemeyer, Linda Roberts, Mark Spencer, Kyle Walker, Greg Walker.
Wonder if there's any relation.
Probably not, but it really doesn't matter because they're both going to be sacked, I hope.
I am willing to jump into that as well and support the primary candidates anyway that I can because we don't need people like that in any aspect of government.
I mean, I'm sure Indiana is going to have no problem taking care of it, especially with the help of President Trump, his administration, and everyone else that's going to chime in.
But let me tell you, they really showed America who they are and what they're about, and they have no business in office of any sort.
Musk's Security Concerns00:11:44
Political career over.
You have Matt Van Swall.
Let me get you back up on the screen.
I'm sorry, I had you off so I could play that video.
I have obtained voting records of Asheville, North Carolina's vice mayor, Antoinette Mosley.
And she appears to have cast ballots in both Georgia and North Carolina in 2008, 2012, and 2014.
Furthermore, it appears that she also claimed a homestead tax exemption in Georgia, which is legally only available to those with a permanent residence.
Another Democrat.
What would you expect?
You've got a huge shift, and this is from Charlie's Voice Rising at Charlie K underscore News.
It's a fan account.
And you have this announcement.
The U.S. government says foreign aid will now go straight to national governments, not rooted and routed through the NGOs anymore.
The logic is blunt.
If the goal is to help a country, fund the country, not the middleman, turning aid into their next business model.
So you've got, of course, everybody talking about all of the dollars that have been stolen, taxpayer dollars.
And Marco Rubio is letting everybody and explaining to everybody what that actually means.
The United States has spent billions of dollars over the years in helping with health strategies all across the world.
What we learned over time, and especially after coming here, is that oftentimes, and I'm oversimplifying it, but this is an accurate description.
What would happen is we would go to a country and say, we're going to help you with our health care needs.
Then we would drive over to Western Northern Virginia somewhere, find an NGO, one of these organizations, give them all the money, tell them go to this country and do their health care program for them.
That NGO would then take about some percentage of that money for their overhead and administrative costs.
And by the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence.
It was sort of imposed on them.
And only a percentage of the overall money ever actually reached the patients and the people on the ground that we were trying to help because of these costs.
This makes no sense.
So why are we hiring American and international NGOs to go into other countries and run health care systems that are parallel and sometimes in conflict with the health care systems of the host country?
If we're trying to help countries, help the country.
Don't help the NGO to go in and find a new line of business.
And so that's what the model that we're breaking.
We're not doing this anymore.
We are not going to spend billions of dollars funding the NGO industrial complex while close and important partners like Kenya either have no role to play or have very little influence over how health care money is being spent.
Bottom line is, if you want to help a country, work with that country.
Gosh, they have just been, they have been the biggest thieves ever, have they not?
I am so glad that we are getting to the bottom of it and that it's going to stop.
They have made an absolute fortune, these criminals, but they will find any rock and they will sniff out any bit of money where they can channel it in their direction, as you all know.
And they've been able to get away with it just fine, fat and sassy, up until this point.
Well, then you've got Secretary Doug Bergham, and he says, California, hello, Californians out there like me, has some of our largest oil reserves, yet chooses to import over 60% of their oil from foreign countries.
Their number one importer last year, Iraq.
Well, this is not only driving up cost, but it is also a security risk for the entire country.
And then he tags the California governor, New Scum, as you all know him.
It's time to drill, baby, drill.
Oh, he is going to hate this.
He is going to put up a fuss.
Can you imagine that?
Oh, no, we're not going to use American oil.
We would rather get it from Iraq.
I mean, even though it's a security risk, right?
I mean, even though, you know, they're not exactly a good friend to the United States.
Let's go ahead and get our oil from them.
Let's just continue to give them money.
I wonder why he would want to do something like that.
Probably the same reason why he had a parade for China and they cleaned up all of downtown San Francisco for China, but they won't even do that for their own people.
Yeah, exactly.
So Carolyn Levitt, she is saying, look, their dependence on foreign oil is a national security risk and argues that the restrictive blue state energy policies are undermining U.S. energy dominance.
And they're not wrong.
Comer is in the news, and this one is from J. Solomon Reports.
He reminds the Clintons to sit for depositions next week or face criminal contempt referrals.
They wanted Epstein?
Well, we're going to give them Epstein.
All they can take of it.
And I hope it will be televised, every single last bit of it.
Because that's the star of Epstein Island.
I mean, 26 trips that we know of.
I mean, this guy was a frequent flyer on Lolita Express.
So we will get here from the Clintons unless something goes awry, which it has in the past next week.
Gives us something to look forward to.
All right, you better get busy out there, Jims, because Elon Musk is sounding the alarm.
The collapse of population is accelerating.
I know he's been doing his part.
And I guess now he's calling on you to do yours.
Okay, so anyway, you've got Poland's fertility rate that dropped sharply, hitting about 1.1 children per woman, among the lowest in Europe.
And it is expected to fall further to around 1.05.
Civilization is disappearing.
So they're sounding the alarm on low birth rate.
And this is why they're trying to give incentives.
So yes, like I said, get busy.
James Wood.
I love James Woods.
First off, he's a Californian.
Secondly, he's a great actor.
And thirdly, because he has got a voice and he just cuts through the noise.
And it's not those three points that I made are not necessarily in that order.
He's just an all-around great person.
So he says, here it is.
You've got this guy.
And it was so appalling to hear Representative Benny Thompson get up there and say that it was an unfortunate accident, that a National Guardsman, that she was shot.
Okay, an unfortunate accident.
Are you kidding?
So Americans are now demanding the resignation of Representative Benny Thompson after he claimed the unvetted Afghan shooting.
our National Guardsman in the head was only an accident.
It's vile, but it's not shocking considering it's coming from a Democrat.
That's from Eric L. Daw.
Well, James Wood says, even coming from a Democrat, this is beyond appalling, and it is hard to be surprised by Democrat madness anymore.
This one is not only outrageous, it is disgusting.
This is AOC, Hank Johnson, Jasmine Grockett, level of stupidity, and it is utterly vile by any measure of decency.
And I would have to agree.
Resist the mainstream at Resist the MS. Breaking Elon Musk, he completely torched Gavin Newscomb's press office.
Press office said, we're sorry your daughter hates you, Elon.
Well, Elon Musk says, I assume you're referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children.
I love Xavier very much and hope he recovers.
My daughters are Azure, Exa, she goes by Y, and Arcadia, and they do indeed love me very much.
Another one from Eric L. Daw.
He says, massive FAFO is about to occur as the assistant AG, Harmik Dillon, who, as you all know, is on loan.
She's from my state.
I want her back.
Thank you very much.
Confirms civil rights investigation into Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for running a race-based housing program favoring black and Latino applicants.
Stay tuned.
It must be abolished.
So yes, imagine that, that there was favoritism.
Now, if a Republican did this, it wouldn't be considered favoritism.
It would be considered racism.
Why don't we use those words in describing the Democrats?
Because time and time again, we don't use the words that truly apply to them.
Most of them are the most racist people you will ever meet in your life.
You just have to sit down and listen to what they say and take away the part where they try to act like they're the bleeding hearts of the world because they are anything but.
This is racism.
It's not favoritism.
Racism.
Please get it right.
You've got the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach who says the final minted pennies were auctioned off today, shattering expectations.
So, today meaning it was yesterday, by bringing in an astounding $16.7 million, which far exceeded the anticipated $5 million.
These historic coins, a symbol of our nation's rich heritage, are a testament to the growing strength of our economy and the excellence of American craftsmanship.
The American golden age is in full force under President Trump.
So, there you go.
We've got pennies that are gone no longer.
Now, this was an interesting one.
The left will do anything and everything that they can to try to smear President Trump.
As you know, this photo went out yesterday and they were trying to act as if President Trump being surrounded by this group of young ladies that this somehow was connected to Epstein, that they had something up their sleeves.
Well, at Mr. Reagan USA, put it blunt.
He said, So, apparently, this is from Hawaiian Tropic Beauty Pageant event that was held at Mar-a-Lago in 1988.
This is exactly what I predicted on my live stream yesterday: Democrat politicians intentionally blocked out the faces of these girls so they couldn't be identified in order to create the illusion that the photo was sinister.
You can never trust Democrat politicians, they will do anything and say anything if they think it will have some benefit to them.
They have zero principles and they have zero morality.
Evil.
Evil doesn't even begin to describe the Democrats at this point.
Are you kidding?
I mean, when you talk about what they have done to President Trump, to his family, to his friends, to his allies, to his administration, to the American people, to January 6ers, to conservatives just for the sake of being conservative, to dismissing a guardsman who was shot in the head.
I mean, come on, really?
I mean, let's come up with a little stronger word than that.
These people are vile.
They are horrible.
They are the worst of the worst, and they prove it every single day.
It's in their being.
They can't even expel it.
I mean, I don't even know if an exorcist would do something with these people.
Why They Can't Be Expelled00:11:38
I'm serious.
They would say, oh, no, no, thank you.
Uh-uh.
We're going to let you go and do whatever it is.
Hopefully, an alien will save us.
But anywho, yeah, or by taking one of them.
But again, you could use that in any context.
If they like third world countries so much, then why don't they just go ahead and pack their bags and move on over there?
They can be completely controlled.
Their health care, their everything can be controlled by a regime.
If that's what they want, so be it.
Well, a lot of those people, as you know, they went ahead and said, all right, I'm out of here.
And they packed their bags and they moved and now they're going, uh-oh.
I really should have thought this through.
You've seen the videos and now they're recommending don't do what they did.
And a lot of the Hollywood stars, oh, they're on their way back.
They can't wait to be back in the land of the free and the home of the brave again.
Hmm.
Hello, Hollywood.
Just because you have money does not mean it's going to bring you happiness.
And just because you leave the U.S. doesn't mean there's something better in one of these other countries, as they're soon finding out.
You've got a Don's mission who says, Deep dive, Texas homes being foreclosed midlife right now.
Pizza still on the table, boxes half packed, dead fish in tanks, owners gone overnight after ICE deportation notices.
A local loan officer says he's suddenly handling dozens of these ghost houses every month, all FHA loans, government-backed, taxpayer-insured.
What she wants to know is how in the world did people with no legal status and no social security number ever get federally insured FHA mortgages in the first place?
Well, honey, listen, they were able to fly on airplanes without showing ID.
They were able to get driver's license without showing ID, probably still do in California and in other deep blue states.
Nothing should surprise you at this point.
They had their own line to get on an airplane.
They would hide them behind these black cloth liners, right?
So that nobody knew what was going on.
And you had all these people that had no idea where they were going.
They were just putting them on a plane and sending them to areas so that they could then vote in elections.
I mean, this is the most absurd thing I have ever seen.
The Democrats, the Biden administration completely flooded our country to change the fabric from the inside.
They have done everything that they can.
Minnesota is a perfect example.
Dearborn, Michigan is another perfect example of what the Democrats have in store for us because they want people in this country that will not only vote for them, but also people that are very used to communism or socialism light because they will accept their ideas.
Whereas we would reject them, knowing what we know and loving our Constitution, these people they feel like they have a chance with.
Oh my gosh, frightening, but true.
Also, there are a lot of people that are abandoning their pets.
And I did get something on there.
Now I'm about to get another pet.
Okay, this is just a personal story.
I have a very dear friend of mine who is going to accept a job overseas.
And so she won't be until she gets settled.
She needed somebody to help with her puppies.
So my little boys are going to be introduced to another puppy.
He's not a puppy.
He's an old man, which is great because it'll be interesting to see the dynamics.
I have a very dear group of friends, as you all know.
I talk about them a lot on the show.
Cat Turt really talks about them.
He talks bad about them.
They're not as bad as he portrays.
But we have this pact that if one of us or any of us need help in one way or another, you got a group here of very strong gals that will definitely have your back and back you up.
And so when I saw that she needed somebody to take care of her puppies, I was like, okay, you know what?
Since nobody else could really do it, and I knew this, I said, I will do it.
So it looks like we're going to have that.
I'll keep you posted on how this whole thing goes.
But the really, really sad thing is that a lot of these people that are fleeing the country now, I mean, I just got something, somebody tagged me in it.
There are a lot of animals that are being left behind.
And so they are at the LA shelter.
And I'm just going to bring this one up so you can see what's going on here.
I don't think I could have four.
I would be kicked out of my apartment.
I'm just telling you, two was a lot.
Three, I'm just going to have to wing it.
But pets left behind due to LA's ICE raids are urgently in need of new homes.
So if you're in the LA area, you can definitely check all of this out.
It looks like it's happening at LA Taco.
So you've got a couple of different animals here that have just gotten into the shelter.
I know somebody will adopt.
People are really good about that around here, but they're just abandoning their animals, not taking them with them, and they're being left behind like in this with the pizza and whatever.
They're just not even thinking about it.
Then we've got Eric L. Daw, who says, Senate GOP, you need to listen to President Trump.
Every word.
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do.
And here he is.
I'm not going to speak on his behalf.
He can do a very fine job of it.
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, and that's terminate the filibuster.
It's the only way you can do it.
And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in bad shape.
We won't pass any legislation.
There'll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter.
We have three and a quarter years, so it's a long time.
But when they can't do an extension, and John, I think they've done an extension every single time they've ever been asked forever.
This is the first time they haven't done an extension.
Extensions are supposed to be easy, but if they won't do an extension, they won't do any bill, even a simple bill.
And we should do our own bills.
We should get out.
We should do our own bills.
We should open up.
We should start tonight with the country's open congratulations.
Then we should pass voter ID.
We should pass no mail-in voting.
We should pass all the things that we wanted to pass to make our election secure and safe because California is a disaster.
Many of the states are disasters.
But can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID?
All we want is voter ID.
You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID.
You go to a gas station, you give ID.
But for voting, they want no voter ID.
It's only for one reason, because they cheat.
We would pass that in 15 minutes.
If you don't get it, you'll never pass that.
You'll never talk about mail-in ballots.
Mail-in ballots make it automatically corrupt.
If you have mail-in ballots, automatically it's correct.
Even Jimmy Carter, they had the Carter Commission after he got out of office, and he had a group of very distinguished people, Democrats and Republicans, and they passed, they recommended things take place.
It was a long time ago.
And they said about mail-in ballots, if there is mail-in ballots, there will definitely be corruption because, you know, they pass through too many hands.
I mean, you go in to vote, and they want you cut.
Yep, and he is so right about that.
He is on a mission.
We all know exactly what happened in that last election, and he knows better than anybody else what kind of mess that he has to clean up.
And we're just starting to see the tip of the iceberg right now.
But it is incredibly dangerous what the Democrats did and what they were allowed to get away with.
And we have got to get it at the core.
We have got to stop this from continuing, or else, guess what?
We will end up with a Gavin Newscum or a Pete Butta judge or a Kamala cackling Kamala Harris.
I mean, look at California.
You really think it can't get any worse?
And then all of a sudden, you've got Eric Spifart, as Kat Turd refers to at Maz, who is throwing his hat into the race.
Can you imagine?
I mean, right when you think, that's why I always say, be careful what you wish for because you just may get it.
First, it started with New Scum.
Then they started hinting that it was going to be Kamala Harris.
But see, now she thinks that that office is beneath her.
Okay, for whatever.
And so then Eric Spifart, Fang Fang's lover, throws his hat into the race.
So when you think it can't get any worse, take a deep breath, step back, and know the next day happens or the next second in this case.
Well, heavily redacted warrant to seize a Venezuelan oil tanker has been unsealed.
And President Trump wants you to know everything.
That's why so much of this has been unclassified.
He wants you to know who these people are with all of these strikes that have been happening.
And so good for him for doing it.
God bless him.
I still am very concerned about his safety with all of the things that he is doing.
He is changing the world.
You also have Boesberg, who is back in the news.
An appeals court has halted Boesberg plan for contempt hearings in Alien Enemies Act deportations case.
So we've got the appeals court that is stepping in.
I cannot wait until Congress will impeach this clown.
Oh, wait a minute.
I'm talking about Congress.
I think I will be waiting for a very long time, if not indefinitely.
They are worthless, absolutely worthless.
But Jeb E. Bozberg, now we covered him extensively in one of our shows.
If you want to hear more about Jeb E. Bozberg, the crookedest judge that I know of so far, at least the one that I've covered.
My gosh, this guy is so bad.
Getting every single one of President Trump cases.
Yeah, that's not, it's all by design.
But anywho, this guy takes a while, but you've got this halting going on.
They're starting to realize who he is.
He served on many boards with SCOTUS and different judges.
I mean, this guy is crooked to the core.
You've got to read about him.
He's pretty bad.
But he, of course, refused to show up when he was asked to show up in the hearing.
He doesn't want to talk about corrupt judges or activist judges because guess what?
He's at the very top of them.
Then you've got the Trump Education Department that announces they've found more than a billion in student aid fraud.
Does that surprise you at this point with all the money that's turning up?
Seriously, we should not be paying taxes ever again in our lifetime.
At this point, there is so much money that they have wasted, stolen, and sent other places than to our country and where it's supposed to go that I don't think we need to pay another penny for anything.
Nothing.
All right, so we're going to head on into the meat of the show.
I know, it seems like a lot, doesn't it?
And we're going to move into our what is wrong with these people.
Plenty.
I'm going to go ahead and give you a heads up on that one because there's plenty wrong with them.
But here we go.
And it looks like Miss Penzi, with what is wrong with these people, has pulled this little number.
My Little Pony Fan?00:02:38
It's about the pipe bomb suspect that they hid from you because he's black and because he hates President Trump, right?
His whole family does, by the way.
This is why Ray needs to answer for it.
But you've got Brian Cole of Woodridge, Virginia, who was taken into custody last Thursday and he was charged with a use of explosive device and attempted malicious destruction of means of explosive materials.
Cole admitted to investigators that he planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5th, the night before the Capitol riot.
This was after nearly a decade.
The FBI appeared to crack the case less than one year into the Trump administration.
Cole's family said that he's autistic and that he's a recluse and a computer nerd who lived in the basement of his parents' Woodbridge, Virginia home.
Sounds like a Democrat, right?
I mean, making excuses for somebody that just, okay, saying he's autistic and he is, right, he never leaves his house only to plant bombs.
Okay, please.
I mean, what is wrong with these people?
I do not know.
So the man accused of attempting to blow up the Republican and Democrat National Committee in Washington, D.C. on January 5th, 2021 was a highly active My Little Pony fan.
Apparently, he was obsessed with the toys, marketed at young girls, creating art of plastic pony dolls.
You've seen those, you know, those pony, my pony dolls, right?
They've got the different colors of tails and all that stuff.
Remixes of songs about them and writing fan fiction dedicated to them.
It sounds like he was really into the whole thing.
His works are spread across various social media accounts linked to Cole's email address and phone number.
And it looks like he uploaded 87 pictures of My Pony fan art to one forum showing various pony and unicorn characters.
One is depicted with a bionic leg brace and he appears to favor pink or purple ponies with long multicolored manes.
In one post, a Star Wars-inspired pony says in a speech bubble, I'm not cute, I'm deadly, which Cole says is a line from a video game, Star Wars, The Old Republic.
A Tumblr account focused on My Pony art, which used one of Cole's usernames, commented on a drawing of a pony with an M60 machine gun, writing, eh, I'd give her, I'd give her an RPG.
What can I say?
Update on Custody00:08:47
Explosions are cool, referring to a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
So yes, he has got a secret life, and this is what he is into.
It's kind of like the furries.
It's kind of like some of these others that they've hidden.
The Biden, I should say, I should really be clear about which FBI we're talking about.
The Biden FBI wouldn't let us know about anything that happened, right?
It was like almost a for sure.
When they wouldn't tell you anymore, like who owns the cocaine in the White House?
Or who leaked the SCOTUS decision.
I mean, all of those stories died.
There's a reason why they die.
It's because they cannot cover them because they know exactly who it is, and it's generally a Democrat.
Or somebody that is of Democrat persuasion, at least politically speaking.
And this would have blown their narrative.
He's 30 years old and he's obsessed with My Pony.
Again, what is wrong with these people?
But here's the deal.
This is what Dirty DOJ prosecutor allegedly tried to frame President Trump.
Jocelyn is being looked at.
You can watch Lindell TV at the GPs and ask President Trump about the alleged pipe bomber and deep state prosecutor on the case.
Did the pipe bomber act alone?
President Trump responds to the explosive question from Lindell TV.
What's your gut instinct?
Did the alleged J-6 pipe bomber act alone?
And why the same DOJ prosecutor?
Huh?
Hello?
That's the key question.
Listen to this.
Hello, Entertained.
I'm Carol from Lindell TV.
Cara Cash Nova Not Fake News, just so you know.
And everybody's talking about the pipe bomber of the weekend, the suspect that was taken into custody.
I reported on Biden's kangaroo court for four years.
And this is an important question to me.
Everyone knows that J6 was a fed surreptitious to set you and your supporters up.
So my question is, what's your gut instinct about the new pipe bomber suspect taken into custody?
Does your instinct tell you that he acted alone?
And also, Mr. President, how do you feel about the lead prosecutor on the pipe bomber case?
Jocelyn Ballantine is the same prosecutor that allegedly asked the J6er to lie to frame you for J6 when you did nothing wrong.
What are your thoughts?
Well, thank you.
I really appreciate that question.
It's sort of a statement, and I appreciate it very much.
Jesslyn is being looked at.
They all have to be looked at.
What they're doing is so bad.
This was a whole Democrat hoax.
The whole thing was a Democrat hoax, and it's all being looked at.
I appreciate that.
I have a theory that things are coming, and they're coming in a very fast way.
You just wait.
I do believe that all of the things we've been wishing for, even though I'm impatient, and I agree, I'm totally impatient.
But you know what?
We've been going through this for 10 years now.
So I expected everybody to be at the ready on day one.
Even if they hadn't actually gotten their position handed to them yet, we need to be ready.
And so, but I do believe that President Trump and his timing, you've got the midterms and everything else, but I do not want to distract from the midterms.
I want to make sure that everybody gets out there and votes.
We have got a lot of rhinos that are working against us, as you all know.
We have got to be incredibly involved in what's going on in our elections.
But I do believe that we're going to get everything and more besides.
The problem is you've got all of these areas that they have got these courts that are just completely, well, the area themselves, they have been packed with Democrats.
And so that's what's been happening with Letitia James, James Comey.
I mean, it's become a sport for them.
This is why you had people that were being flown all over the country and they just happened to land in this area or happened to land in that area.
Believe me, everything was by design.
So now we've got, in case you missed it, we're going to head on over there.
These are stories from past shows that we catch up on.
So we just give you a little update on what's going on.
Okay, Clinton-appointed judge blocks Trump's National Guard deployment to Los Angeles.
Does this surprise you?
A Clinton-appointed judge blocks Trump's National Guard deployment to Los Angeles.
Of course they did.
So this is U.S. Judge Charles Breyer, who declared the deployment illegal and ordered the troops returned to state control under California Governor Gavin Newscomb.
This guy's a real piece of work.
He wants to be president.
So while most of the troops were withdrawn, an extension kept approximately 300,000 California National Guard members under federal control until February, with about 100 remaining in the city and 200 redirected in Oregon.
The White House is fired back defending the president's actions.
President Trump exercised his lawful authority to deploy National Guard troops to support federal officers and assets following violent riots that local leaders like Newscomb refused to stop.
This is according to White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, and she said in her statement obtained by The Hill.
Notice that she also refers to him as Newscum.
It's great.
Then you got Tom Homan, who is looking at Ilhan Omar's immigration files over alleged fraudulent marriage to her brother.
Let's get something done, please, on this.
I mean, what's the deal?
This is not only gross, but I mean, they're just rubbing it in your faces at this point, in everyone's face.
You've got to get to the bottom of it.
And all of the fraud and all of the money and the whole thing over there in Minnesota is crooked to the core.
They've got to get on it.
So anywho, Omar appeared on CBS, Face the Nation, but she was not, of course, asked about an allegation of immigration fraud.
Conveniently, they would not go there with that one.
Laura Loomer, she went into Ilhan Omar married her brother and committed immigration fraud in our country.
Last night on Loomer Unleashed, she asked Border Czar and former ICE director Tom Homan if Omar is under investigation marrying her brother.
He said he wouldn't deny it, but of course he had a little smile to go along with it.
Of course she is.
I bet she's been under investigation, as have all of these names for quite some time, at least until President, as soon as President Trump took over and people were placed.
You got federal judge authorizes DOJ to release Ghelane Maxwell grand jury transcripts and exhibits investigative material.
Be careful what you ask for, Democrats.
You may just get it.
You're going to watch the Epstein story die in 3-2-1.
Watch another deluge of information about Ghillaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
It will be released by the DOJ.
They're going to try to give you everything that you could ever imagine, but a lot of the stuff has been destroyed.
Keep that in mind.
I mean, when the new FBI took over, they found all of these secret rooms.
They found all of these materials in burned bags and what have you.
So they're doing everything they can to get things to the public that you all want to see.
They're also having hearings, and the Clintons will be called next week.
That put a smile on my face.
I hope it did yours.
I'm looking forward to it.
So you've got Judge Paul Eaglemayer, who orders the disclosure of grand jury materials in Ghelane Maxwell criminal prosecution complying with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
So we're going to be able to hear about all of that.
And I bet he doesn't know it, but Cat Turd was mentioned.
I'll send him a little text.
But the Epstein files are going to be the biggest backfire on Democrats in history.
And of course, they will be.
We talk about it all the time.
I love when he gets highlighted.
It's so cool to see.
But Paul Sperry put this out.
Emails reveal Epstein not only pumped money into both Bill and Hillary's campaigns and flew Bill on his private jet, but also met with Clinton several times between 2006 and 2008 and had his accomplice, Ghillaine Maxwell, arrange free flights and luxury gifts for Clinton's body man, Doug Band.
Gosh, this thing.
And the Democrats really thought that they could pin it on Trump, which also lets me know that they destroyed a lot of what was there.
I mean, you've got these perps just walking around, perverts, just the worst.
And do you think they've stopped?
Maduro's Final Warning00:15:25
No, no.
They just found another island or they found another townhouse or they found another corner of the world.
Disgusting human beings.
I really wish they would be held accountable for what they did.
And I know that, you know, the victims, they have spoken about them, but go ahead.
I mean, release the names.
I wish that they would.
For some reason, we hear that they're going to, and then nothing.
So I guess we'll just have to bide our time, wait and see what happens.
All right, we're going to head into the meat of the show.
And this, of course, is Sinking Maduro's Narco Navy.
We're going to go ahead and start spilling the tea on it.
There's a lot to know about what President Trump has been doing and why.
Here we go.
Okie doke.
So.
Foreign terrorist organization.
That's exactly what we're dealing with here.
You've got the U.S. that declares Nicholas Maduro's cartel of the Sons as a foreign terrorist organization and elevates the Chavista regime to formal enemy of the state status, the last legal step before military action.
So George at Bahizi Tweets was speaking of this.
Breaking the State Department has designated the Cartel of the Suns.
This is a criminal group that is headed by Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro as a foreign terrorist organization.
This enables military strikes and boy have they started.
It is headed by the illegitimate Nicolas Maduro and it is corrupt to the core.
The United States has gotten this going.
You've got Secretary of the State Marco Rubio who announced it on Sunday evening.
This was November 17th, 2025.
And the FTO designation, by nature, it constitutes the last legal threshold before considering higher intensity actions.
Well, as you all know, President Trump came out and said, look, we're not just going to do it by sea.
We're going to go by land too.
So they're just getting warmed up.
This move also exposes the responsibility of the international left for years that has whitewashed, defended, or covered up the crimes of Chavista regime under the rhetoric of anti-imperialism.
While millions of Venezuelans suffered institutional devastation, repression, and economic collapse, much of the global progressive movement justified the disaster as a popular project.
So he is not even duly the president of Venezuela.
I mean, the person that should be there, we're going to speak a lot about today.
I mean, she's just fantastic.
And of course, she had to be smuggled out of the country because of all of the things that happened.
And just this, when you talk about Third World and Banana Republic, this is exactly what the left would embrace happening to us here in the United States.
Make no mistake.
If they could get these things done here, they would be perfectly happy.
Look at California, for example.
Look at New York.
So you've got the FTO designation.
It's going to be the last legal threshold before considering the higher intensity actions, which I expect.
And with the designation, the United States affirms its commitment to defending order, legitimate authority, national security, and traditional values against a regime that has fused political power with organized crime.
They have been trying to destroy the U.S. from within, and this is how they did it.
Maduro fears for his life as Venezuelan Cartel de las Soles is designated a foreign terrorist organization, and reports anticipate a new wave of operations against the country.
Oh, believe me, if President Trump is out there talking about it openly, it's done.
It's already been done.
So while the largest U.S. military deployment is massing out of the coast of Venezuela, you have Nicholas the dictator, Nicholas Maduro, who is keeping a brave façade, calling for peace, singing.
That was what that obnoxious, crazy thing was that you were watching on my video when we first opened the show.
Yeah, that's nerves.
And when somebody starts singing, don't worry, be happy the way he was, I mean, he's just waiting for the next something to happen.
So he has dancing to no war, yes to peace.
It's a remix, moving to the rhythm.
And this is amid President Trump's threats that he has been making.
And the Trump administration, of course, they designated them as terrorist group.
He did it right away.
He didn't even waste any time.
So Maduro is toast, just so you know.
I mean, if you were wondering, we could take bets.
I guess Polymarket is good for that.
But I can tell you his days are numbered and he knows it.
Trump leaves the door open to talking with Maduro.
He says, if we can save lives, we will.
So amid the growing tension in the Caribbean, where the United States has reinforced its military presence, and while Nicolas Maduro's regime deepens its cooperation with Iran, Russia, and armed groups, President Trump left open the possibility of speaking with the Venezuelan dictator, making it clear that any conversation would be conditioned on U.S. national interest and hemispheric security.
A reporter asked the president whether he planned to speak directly with Maduro, and he responded, I could talk to him.
We'll see.
We're discussing it with the different teams.
We could talk.
Whatever Venezuela is willing to do.
The press, of course, tried to push him further on it, questioning why the administration would consider negotiating with somebody the United States has designated as the leader of a foreign terrorist organization.
And President Trump's response was firm, sending a message both to Venezuela and to hostile actors operating in the region.
He said, if we can save lives, if we can do things the easy way, that's fine.
And if we have to do things the hard way, that's fine too.
And of course, this shouldn't surprise anybody.
President Trump is on board with making sure that he takes care of this country and he knows the damage that has been done.
Four years of the open border, all of the drugs that have been pouring through this country.
The cartels were running the border.
You even, and I hate to say it, but you even had Border Patrol that were working for the cartels, as you all know.
I mean, these things are being discovered.
They are being handled, but this isn't news.
I mean, you could literally walk across the border.
I mean, they're in San Diego, right?
Whenever I would go to Mexico, Tijuana, I mean, it's just right there.
And it was the easiest thing in the world.
You could just walk right in and people could just walk right over.
But it got a little bit more complicated.
There were so many pieces of the border wall that wasn't up that you could find a place.
I mean, hey, everybody knew where to go.
But you have the human trafficking.
You have all of the different things that happen with something like that.
So President Trump knew it was a problem.
And he knows that with this fentanyl, that it was killing people.
I mean, just the smallest little amount will kill a person.
And the amount that they were shipping into this country could completely destroy it.
That's how scary it is.
So Trump's remarks come as the U.S. warships have been patrolling the Caribbean as part of the anti-narcotics and regional security operations.
You have Maduro's regime.
They announce military exercises and troop mobilizations.
Iran sends shipments and advisors to Venezuela.
Russia maintains military personnel.
So you've got all of these different things, strength, not concessions.
President Trump has made it very clear that he is going to do everything that he can to eliminate this threat, and he's going to do it.
But he says, hey, you know what?
I'll leave the door open.
If he wants to chat, we'll chat.
Sar warns Maduro has turned Venezuela into a terror hub for Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran-backed militias.
No surprise there.
He's going to find company wherever he can.
Bad news travels together.
They are very cozy about it.
So you've got Marco Rubio, who says, here is why Trump cares about Venezuela.
Mass migration is destabilizing Colombia, a key anti-drug partner.
Maduro trafficking cocaine into the U.S. Maduro has asked Putin to put naval and airbase in our hemisphere.
Maduro provides operational space to Hezbollah and Iran.
So that's why they're cozy and comfortable.
So now you've got this Tarek El Asami, who has become the most powerful member of the Maduro regime.
Using his ties with Iran, he took out Cabello and Padrino.
Now he is aiming for Del C Rodriguez, and eventually he will move to remove Maduro.
So this is one to watch.
This is a thread, by the way, from Marco Rubio, just so everybody knows how serious it is.
And he also put it out in Spanish.
So these revelations, they expose the hypocrisy of the global left, which has systematically silence the abuses of the Chavismo while preaching human rights.
It's unbelievable that they have been able to do what they have been able to do.
I mean, they opened up their prisons and sent people here, their mental institutions and sent people here.
This is what the left did.
This is what they did.
And when you talk about Afghanistan, now the reason why you didn't hear anything more on that story is because, okay, we may have said it was botched.
And oh, yeah, you saw them prancing around and having a parade with our weapons.
But you don't even, and neither do I, know the scope of how bad it truly was and how many people are here as a result.
And don't think that wasn't planned to.
Pete Hegzith, Maduro is indicted for drug trafficking, and he stated that the U.S. now has options to confront the cartels.
He also put his in Spanish, making sure that he can reach as many people as possible.
Marco Rubio denounces Maduro's ties to terrorism and Iranian drones.
So the incoming Secretary of State for the Trump administration warns the Senate about Maduro's regime actions, including harboring Islamic terrorists, issuing passports to Hezbollah.
I mean, it's just as bad as you think it is, and that's why they're all involved.
I mean, you've got Maduro is what you would expect out of a dictator.
He's very, very dangerous.
So Trump is liberating the continent from China, Iran, Russia, and the drug dealers.
He gave Venezuela's Maduro an ultimatum, resign, leave, or face the consequences.
He's not even holding back.
He's told him how it's going to be.
He's like, look, you know, we're not even going to, we're not even going to prance around this.
Venezuela's dictatorship is now lashing out, denouncing colonialist aggression.
This is after President Trump closed their airspace and delivered an ultimatum straight to Nicolas Maduro.
Exit or else he has been given his final warning.
And the Trump administration said, look, this is it.
You've got to go ahead and get on out of there.
This is after a phone call between Trump and Maduro failed to reach an agreement.
The U.S. president announced that he was closing the airspace around the South American country as America's largest warship, the USS Gerald F. Ford, and Marin.
This was great.
The Marine Expeditionary Unit capable of amphibious invasion float offshore.
They're certainly getting their practice in over there.
The tense phone call between Trump and Maduro saw Trump and Maduro's teams discuss the details of a surrender from the tyrant and what it would look like.
President Trump informed Maduro during their chat that if he and his wife and son would be allowed to leave Venezuela safely, but they must do it immediately.
Well, I believe that time has come and gone.
First, Maduro asked for global amnesty for any crimes he and his group had committed, and that was rejected.
And so now he is just singing, don't worry, be happy.
Okay, I'd be very worried, and I wouldn't be that happy if I were you.
Tim Kaine calls Trump's anti-cartel strikes a war crime while Maduro lets 300-plus militias operate next to the U.S.
It shouldn't surprise you that Democrats would, of course, attack the president for making sure that we don't have terrorists and cartels in this country.
I mean, they're the ones that, you know, would do anything in the world for people that have committed very serious crimes.
So this Virginia senator, remember, this was Hillary Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, the clown.
He appeared on CBS Face the Nation, and the interview revealed exactly why Democrats would not be good at handling anything when it comes to our national security threats, especially coming from Venezuela.
The situation inside the Nicolas Maduro collapsing regime, it has been escalating by the hour.
My guess is that it's already over.
It's going to happen that quick.
So while Venezuela's borders destabilize, the U.S. intelligence continues to detect cartel-linked militias operating with Maduro's approval.
And Kaine, of course, dismissed the urgency.
He doesn't see any reason why we should be concerned about this.
With all the deaths that are happening, I mean, like President Trump said, okay, every single time you see one of those narco boats that we blow up, there are 25,000 lives that are saved.
And you can hear it.
I mean, he's had it in the roundtable discussions with the angel moms and fathers, right?
Operation Southern Spear00:16:32
Where they're, kid, they're not big drug addicts.
They're not what you expect.
Not like hanging around in LA, right?
In Skid Row, where people are literally asleep or not asleep.
They're just so high.
They're standing up hunched over just in this crazy state, zombified.
They're not like that.
They go to a party and they're like, hey, you know what?
I'm going to have a little bit of this or I'm going to dabble in a little bit of that and fentanyl, little tiny pieces in there, and it's over.
That's what we're dealing with.
And they have flooded.
They have flooded.
I mean, I know people that do drugs at parties or, you know, partake in this or that or what have you.
And recreationally speaking, they're terrified.
They're like, wow, I don't even go near anything anymore.
And apparently, the cartels are upset because now they can't sell their drugs because everybody is on high alert.
No one is buying their drugs.
So they're like, hey, maybe we should ease off on this because we're not making any money.
I mean, this is the state of it.
This is how bad it actually is.
Of course, I live in Hollywood, so I get to see a whole bunch of it.
But Cain also repeated unverified claims from anonymous attorneys in foreign government countries that benefit from a weak United States to cast doubt on Trump's strategy to shut down Venezuela's airspace, a move that U.S. officials say is necessary to prevent coordinated flights involving cartel leaders and foreign intelligence assets.
Of course, he's going to downplay it.
I mean, anything that President Trump does, they are going to downplay it.
But President Trump is doing exactly what he needs to do to keep us safe, and we know this.
So, bye, Tim Kaine.
Thank goodness we dodged that bullet.
Can you imagine if we would have had Hillary Clinton as president?
I mean, think about this for a second.
Put your head in that space and just think about what would have happened to this country.
Oh my gosh, what would have happened after that would have been even worse.
But thank you, God.
Please, thank you.
And continue to intervene because we got President Trump.
They never expected him to win.
A lot of people didn't expect him to win.
Not against her.
But you all showed up.
You roared.
And they have been furious with you ever since.
U.S. vaporizes the 22nd Venezuelan drug boat amid Democrat claims of unlawful orders.
Imagine being a Democrat.
This was a huge, hugely successful operation.
It was Operation Southern Spear.
It was executed against a vessel operated by the designated terrorist organization.
It killed four narco-terrorists, U.S. Southcom said.
The vessel was confirmed by U.S. intelligence to be carrying illicit narcotics.
So on December 4th, at the direction of Secretary War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a designated terrorist organization.
Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and trans transiting along transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the eastern Pacific.
Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.
This was Operation Southern Spear.
So, of course, they tried to do everything they could to go after Pete Hegseth.
There was a claim that Hegseth ordered troops to kill everybody.
This is according to Representative Seth Moulton, who described the operations as blatantly illegal, adding, Mark my words, it may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as war crime or outright murder.
Well, six Democrat lawmakers also recently made similar threats against members of the military, urging them to refuse the president's orders, which they basically described as illegal.
Trump has not given any illegal orders.
This was an attempt to sew down and interfere with military operations, which is what they have been trying to do.
So you have Democrat Senator Alyssa Slotkin, a former CIA agent in the seditious conspiracy, who later admitted that Trump has not given any illegal orders to members of the military.
Still, she threatened service members with thinly veiled warnings comparing Trump to Hitler and suggesting they may face Nuremberg-style military tribunals for following orders.
She further pointed to movies like A Few Good Men to intimidate military members into thinking twice before they follow President Trump.
So Hegseth, of course, responded to the firestorm of fabricated, inflammatory, or derogatory reporting on Friday, maintaining that the actions are lawful and align with the stated intention of the strikes to be lethal kinetic strikes.
Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers up and down the chain of command.
You better believe it.
They've got lawyers all over the place that are checking that out, making sure that they've got every single I dot and every T crossed.
We know how we have to do all of that with this administration because the Democrats are just itching for President Trump to step out of line or his administration to do something because he has got a phenomenal group of people that are working for him.
Just that's why they want to get rid of him.
I mean, it's kind of like an easy confirmation for me.
As soon as the left turns on them, like they have with Pete Hegseth, we've got the right guy.
Wouldn't you agree?
It's like you take all the guessing out of it.
If they are that opposed to somebody, then we got the right person in charge.
El Polo, you've got Carvajol accuses the Maduro regime of using drugs as a weapon of war against the United States, exporting criminal gangs.
This is huge.
It was an exclusive bombshell letter from Venezuela's ex-Intel chief, El Polo.
Carvajol to President Trump.
Maduro's regime is a full-on narco-terror cartel weaponizing cocaine, trend dearragua gangs, Hezbollah, and Cuban spies against America flooding our streets with killers.
Now, why would the left be against us trying to get that out of our country?
I mean, these are our kids, our grandkids.
Please.
And then you have a bombshell from inside a prison.
Former Venezuelan three-star general and intelligence chief.
I mean, he just says, look, these people have absolutely declared war on the United States, and this is how they're doing it.
The former intelligence chief, who for years was part of the core of the Chavista power, is now cooperating with U.S. justice after pleading guilty to charges of narcoterrorism.
His letter seeks to warn of a threat that goes beyond the judicial sphere and directly enters the field of national security as it involves a sustained attack on public health, social order, and the institutional stability of the United States.
So these revelations, they have reinforced the thesis that the Maduro regime is not only an internal dictatorship, but a transnational criminal actor that has used drugs, organized crime, and forced migration as geopolitical weapons.
The potential impact of this testimony could reactivate criminal proceedings, international sanctions, and new security measures in the region.
The political left in Spain, Hispanic America, and the United States is once again exposed by its complicit silence in the face of a regime accused of narco-terrorism.
The social damage is already irreparable.
Irreparable.
Came talk.
It's true.
I mean, this is a weapon of mass destruction.
I mean, this is no different than COVID, right?
I mean, they're using drugs to hurt the American people.
They know exactly what they're doing.
This is scary stuff.
I mean, in this letter, he reveals all of this, that the Rodriguez siblings lead the cartel of the sun and that Maduro exported the Trende Aragua to the United States.
They have been working against President Trump.
This is unreal.
All of this is out there.
Retired Major General Claver Antonio Elcala Cordones, a former Chavista commander convicted in the United States for drug trafficking in collaboration with the FARC, has sent a letter to President Trump.
It was dated December 8th, 2025.
The document uncovers the transnational criminal network where siblings Del C and Jorge Rodriguez emerge as true puppet masters of power in Venezuela, not Maduro or Diodasto Cabello.
Acala, who served 34 years in a Bolivian armed forces and voluntarily surrendered to U.S. authorities in 2020, describes Chavismo as a criminal apparatus that directly threatens the national security of the United States through drug trafficking, electoral frauds, and terrorist alliances.
So he's got a letter that has been published, and he's describing all of this.
He's serving 21 years in prison for supplying weapons to FARC under orders from Hugo Chavez.
Huge mistake he regrets for life.
He offers to testify before U.S. authorities.
His missive, delivered through his legal team, paints a panorama of systemic corruption that dates back to the Chavez era and consolidates under Maduro.
The core of the complaint points to the Cartel of the Sons.
It's recently designated by Washington as a terrorist organization.
Acala affirms that the structure integrated by high-ranking military and civilian officials is not led by Maduro, but by Del C. Rodriguez, vice president and key figure in economic policy, and Jorge Rodriguez, president of the National Assembly and electoral operator.
So there are a lot of people that are kind of waiting for that spot to open up so that they can move right on in.
So you've got the second Venezuelan whistleblower letter to President Trump, and it exposes smart Matic, drug cartels, and deep state collusion.
Remember how they meddled in their own elections, and they were talking about how they did it, and it was the smart Matic machines.
Imagine the fact, the way we got those, hmm?
Yeah, we had SmartMatic machines here in our elections.
Wonder why that is.
So they have been sending letters to the President of the United States.
They are talking about how the cartel operates as a diffuse network within Venezuelan army involved in smuggling gasoline, gold, cocaine, with direct shipments to the U.S.
A chilling chapter details the origin of Trendearagua, a mega gang that Washington also labeled as a terrorist in February 2025.
Alcala, he recounts that in 2011 as commander in Aruga, he led the military takeover of this particular prison.
It's called Ticoron, the gang's headquarters, despite pressures from Chavista government to abort it.
The operation left 16 criminals dead, but revealed direct links between inmates and the regime.
Under Maduro, these structures strengthened prisons as weapon depots, control of electoral votes, transnational expansion.
He accuses Maduro of exporting the Trende Aragua to neighboring countries and the U.S. using Venezuelan immigrants as cover.
The gang born in Ticoron in 2014, it expanded with migratory crisis, committing murders such as that of Ronald Ajeda in Chile in 2024.
Then you've got the electoral fraud.
It has emerged as another pillar of the Chavista control.
Cala denounces that the majority of elections in Venezuela have been completely manipulated through parallel SmartMatic systems, altering results in areas without opposition observers.
He points to General Carlos Quintero, the vice president of the National Electoral Council, as the engineer of the technology, who also used it in the U.S. and other countries.
The Rodriguez siblings, he adds, supervised everything.
It coincides with historical complaints in 2017.
SmartMatic accused the regime of inflating participation in constituent elections, and in 2024, you had an Argentinian firm linked to Jorge Rodriguez that controlled electoral biometrics, facilitating the mega fraud of July 2028.
In foreign policy, Alcala exposes Maduro's ties with Iran and Hezbollah.
Forged from his role as Chavez's foreign minister 2006 to 2013, Maduro directly managed contacts with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah, and Cuban intelligence.
He continues to talk about how deep this deepening strategic alliance to evade sanctions, how he's merged with them.
The Atlantic Council documents how Venezuela serves as a platform for Iranian networks in Hispanic America with false passports and financing via drug trafficking.
Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State, he described Venezuela as the anchor of Iran and Hezbollah in the region, facilitating laundering and espionage.
He also alludes to, and this is Acala, he alludes to illegal mining of the Arinico mining arc where Maduro's son, Nicolas Nicolisoto, Maduro Goro, allegedly supervises extraditions of gold and diamonds to launder cartel profits.
This, he affirms, is a serious threat to the U.S. by financing operations that flood the market with dirty metals and empower gangs.
The Treasury Department has sanctioned Chavista figures for this, linking the flow to cocaine toward North America.
The letter which follows that of Hugo Carvajal, the former Chavista intelligence chief, it accelerates the internal collapse of the regime.
Akala, a repentant insider, he underscores that his cooperation seeks redemption and justice.
For the U.S., it's ammunition for operations like Southern Spear, which deploys ships in the Caribbean against narco-terrorism.
Chavizimo is not a government, but a cartel that exports chaos, drugs, and insecurity.
The freedom of Venezuela and the hemispheric security depend on dismantling it.
It is really an operation over there.
Gunboat Diplomacy On Full Display00:04:10
And the more that President Trump has figured out about what's been happening, this is why he is so, so insistent on making sure that we do everything that we can to eliminate it.
It's definitely a threat.
You've got gunboat diplomacy on full display.
Wow.
U.S. You've got the USFA-18F Super Hornet jets that fly over the Gulf of Venezuela in a show of force against Maduro.
Trump sent the fighter jets all the way up to Maduro's doorstep.
But he'll just keep singing, don't worry, be happy.
And it says right here, they asked him, hey, how far would you go to take him out of office?
Well, President Trump responds.
Down the border now.
Yeah, he sent a lot of these people.
He also sends in a lot of drugs.
So we'll see how it all works out.
I can't talk about it.
So how far would you go to take Maduro out of office?
I don't want to say that, but you want to see him out?
His days are numbered.
Can you rule out an American ground invasion?
I don't want to rule in or out.
I don't talk about it.
Why would I talk to you, an extremely unfriendly publication, if you want to call it Politico, that got $8 million from Obama to keep it afloat?
Why would I do that?
Why would I talk about that to Politico?
I mean, I'm doing this because you picked me as a man.
I'm asking for a lot of people.
I'm just for transparency for their American people because a lot of folks are I am the most transparent politician maybe in the world.
A lot of folks are wondering what our goals are.
Sure, but I don't want to talk to you about military strategy.
Well, may I ask then, what is your goal in Venezuela?
What do you want to see with the actions that you're taking?
Well, one goal is I want the people of Venezuela to be treated well.
I want the people of Venezuela, many of whom live in the United States, to be respected.
I mean, they were tremendous to me.
They voted for me 94% or something.
Yeah, he's not going to tell you.
No, of course not.
No, it's already done.
I can assure you of that.
But it goes on.
Trump confirms the U.S. forces' interception and seizure of sanctioned old tankers off the coast of Venezuela update.
You can see the footage of the U.S. troops that have seized this ship.
And you all watched that on the show a little bit earlier.
Trump administration, they released a video of them seizing the old tanker.
That was huge.
I saw a few of you say, okay, well, go ahead and give it back to them and then have them refill it and then take it again.
Exactly.
But should Venezuela be considered part of gunboat diplomacy?
Is history repeating itself?
There's a great article that goes into all of that.
But here's the deal: they are a threat.
They will always be a threat.
And by the way, President Trump has been answering the questions of the left, yes, they are not going to be here for long.
So they've got all kinds of things.
You've got offering loans that are tied to agreements.
China has been definitely Venezuela's largest creditor based on this old for loan scheme dating back to 2007 to 2017 period.
You also have got China who has adjusted repayment schedules in a relaxed term so that they maintain firm control over Venezuela's long-standing debt.
So this whole thing, President Trump knows what has been going on with Venezuela and with China and some of our biggest enemies abroad.
So that's why he's taking it as serious as he is.
It's not an attempt to undermine existing U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, but China has been intervening to fill the vacuum and they have been taking over Venezuelan economy.
So you're starting to understand and put the pieces together.
I mean, it's very clear why President Trump is concerned about this.
Mass Casualty Incident00:05:08
All right, so as for today, we have got all kinds of things that while all of this was going on, what President Trump has been doing, let's head on over to the Trump Victory Vault.
Okay, and here it is.
Federal Reserve, it cuts interest rates by 25 basis points.
Got that done this week.
DOJ scraps disparate impact rules after 50 years, restores equal protection, and ends race-based quotas in federal programs.
USDA launches a $700 million new regenerative pilot program aimed at slashing production costs and advancing the Maha agenda.
Make America Healthy Again.
The Appeals Court overturns Obama judge order blocking Trump's big beautiful bill provision barring funding for Planned Parenthood.
That is a huge deal.
And that is why you are not hearing about it in the lamestream media.
That's going to hurt them good.
So that is the Victory Vault.
It looks like we do have a little bit of breaking news here.
And so I'm going to use my breaking news button, which I never get to use.
All right, so this is bad.
All right, it looks like there was a mass casualty event that was declared at Brown University.
Now there are 20 victims that have been reported following an active shooter situation.
Several reports is that a mass suspect is now in custody, thankfully.
There are quite a few people that were involved in this.
Say a prayer for the victims.
The exact number of deceased versus wounded is not yet known.
So this happened.
Providence, Rhode Island.
Here we go.
Let me get this on for you.
Officially going to be a mass casualty incident.
I have Anchor 3 and Rescue 7, as well as Rescue 2 headed to Hope and Waterman.
If there's possibly 20 victims, we're going to need as much mutual aid as you can get.
Affirmative.
We're all Rajor City now.
I'm working with France.
Officially going to be a mass casualty incident.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, my gosh.
Again, I know that's what you're all saying.
Again, and we know where else we go.
And that's probably to the left.
You know, it's what it's been lately, anyway.
Oh, no.
So please say a prayer for the victims of that.
That is terrible.
I'll let you know if there's anything else that's coming out on it.
Apparently, they do have the shooter, so that's good.
But as far as any more information on that one, let me just look because this just happened.
And so they're coming out with it as quick as they can.
Brown University.
It looks like they have him before he was at large.
Mass casualty, up to 20 victims or injuries.
Oh no.
Law enforcement and emergency personnel are situated at Brown University after reports.
20 people injured in a mass shooting in Providence, Rhode Island.
Oh, wow.
They've got a huge presence there.
20 people.
We do not know anything about the shooter.
They have located him.
Let me see.
Wow.
Okay.
Oh, my gosh.
Please keep everybody there in your thoughts and prayers.
This is so, so awful.
But again, where does your head go?
It's all right.
Mine too.
I mean, somebody on the left and somebody with some kind of weird fetish.
I mean, the manifestos, when you start talking about the people that have been the active shooters lately, if you were to make a list, they all fit in a certain category.
We all know that.
All right, so we're going to head on over to the Daily Dish, see what's going on on the street where we dish this stuff out, what's been happening.
All right, so Alyssa Slotkin, she's starting to walk back everything that she was saying.
Campo Cincy Launder Money00:04:08
This edition 6, right?
They're now trying to blame the illegal orders because they were approached by concerned military members.
Oh, it was them.
They told us to do it.
So yeah, we weren't, you know, we shouldn't be in trouble because somebody told us to do something.
It's unbelievable.
This is after telling the members of the military that it was okay to refuse supposedly illegal orders from President Trump when they knew that they weren't illegal orders.
Then you've got the FBI that raided the home of a high-ranking DEA official under Obama, charges him with conspiring to launder millions of dollars for Mexican drug cartel.
So this is a big one because it's going to lead to more things.
This is Paul Campo, who worked for the DEA approximately 25 years, first as a special agent in New York and eventually rising to become a high-level DEA official, specifically the deputy chief of the Office of Financial Operations.
Campo retired from the DEA in or about January 2016.
In late 2024, Robert Since he began meeting with confidential sources working at the Direction of Law Enforcement, CS-1, who was posing as a member of CJNG,
Since he told CS1 that he had a friend who used to be in charge of the DEA's financial operations, who could assist CJNG by laundering narcotics proceedings and providing CS1 with sensitive DEA information about sources and investigations.
So, after these initial meetings, Campo and Since I together met with CS1 on several occasions during these conversations, Campo and Cincy agreed to launder money for CS1 by, among many other things, converting cash into cryptocurrency and making investments in real estate.
Campo and Cincy further advised CS1 about fentanyl production and explored procuring commercial drones and military-grade weapons and equipment for CJNG, including AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, M4 carbines, M16 rifles, grenade launchers, and rocket-propelled grenades.
As part of these discussions, Campo and Cincy often boasted about and relied heavily on Campo's prior federal law enforcement experience and expertise regarding financial investigations and drug cartels.
Regarding the drones, in one of the meetings, CS1 explained to Campo what we do with drones.
We put explosives and we just send them over there.
Boom.
In another conversation, CS1 asked Cincy how much C4 explosive and drones could carry, and which Cince responded in sum and substance, approximately six kilograms, which is enough to blow up the whole F don't want to say.
As part of the scheme, Campo and Cincy agreed to launder approximately 12 million of CJNG narcotics proceeds, laundered approximately $750,000 by converting cash into cryptocurrency and provided a payment or approximately 220 kilograms of cocaine on the understanding that the payment would trigger the distribution and sale of the narcotics worth approximately $5 million,
for which Campo and Cincy would 1. receive a portion of the narcotics proceeds as profit and 2. Receive a further commission upon laundering of the balance of the narcotics proceeds.
They are in big trouble.
So, by participating in this scheme, Campo betrayed the mission he was entrusted in pursuing for his 25-year career with the DEA.
CJNG is a violent and corrupt criminal enterprise that New Yorkers want broken.
And of course, you've got the DEA that is saying, Hey, look, we're thrilled that you were able to pursue this and figure out, you know, how bad this guy was, no matter who he was and who he worked for previously.
Regulating AI: The Lion by the Tail00:14:13
Big, big bust there.
Let's see what else.
All right, so we have got our question of the day where I'm going to find out what you all have to say with this one.
Let me go ahead and get you guys up here so we can go through your answer.
I am so, oh, what happened with the shooting is awful.
Hopefully, it's more, you know, there's not any more casualties than that.
Whenever they throw out a number, those numbers seem to grow, and I 20.
20.
All right, here is our question of the day.
It's time for today's question of the day.
Should the federal government regulate AI?
Yes or no?
Share your thoughts.
They could be featured live this Saturday, December 13th, during a political rendezvous at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
Pick your viewing platform at julesjoneslive.com.
Okay, I thought we would start with YouTube today first and see what they had to say going on over there.
All right, let me grab this.
All right, so for starters, and let's get some music going for you guys.
It's always fun to do this with a song, is it not?
All right, so we have got you all here.
Okay, we've got PJ 7557 who says, Yes, regulate it.
Phil John 763, who says, Yes.
Carolyn Food Forest 355 says, Yes, absolutely.
I feel that AI should be shut down completely around the world before it gets control, get control and out of control.
Isn't that the truth?
Gosh, really something AI is going to is already out of control as we speak.
Says, I don't know.
This is sleeper 9381.
I don't know if the government should do it.
It needs some kind of regulation.
Lisa, our SRSEN 5609 says, I worry about the government's control.
No, it should be marked AI though.
Ewnit 7525, that's E-W-E-K-N-I-T 7525.
I have mixed feelings about more government regulation.
I would like to know more about how they would regulate AI before I would want to be on board.
I'm concerned with the impact that social media has on our children, and I have yet to see a foolproof way to protect them.
Predators know where to look for prey.
King Bob 8608 says, as much as I feel we need less government, I think AI creators need to be kept in check.
So my guess, I guess my answer is yes, I don't trust AI at all.
At Big Daddy underscore MRI says the government is too poisoned with the desire to control the populace, forgetting that they are civil servants.
No, keep the government out of AI.
Goes on to say, but there should be a mechanism to alert the government of misuse or of AI going rogue.
AI will be another virus that the government wants to use to bend the social standards and should be tightly monitored so that there are no, so there should be government prepared to act if reported.
I know this means no yes, but if only corporations own AI, then the corruption may go deep state before anyone sees it.
Every AI developed should have a terminate switch that is fail-safe.
You have Nancy 9954, and she spells her name N-A-N-S-E-A.
She says, my trust in government is questionable.
I guess so.
I know, you're not alone there either.
And our government?
Really?
What we've learned?
Nah, not feeling too warm and cozy about them.
All right, so we have got your answers over there on X. At American Dawn 16 says, I'd like the government to stop using AI against the citizens.
At Fleet Admiral James, that's at Mighty Mouse200, who says, yes, I believe AI without smart controls would put the human race at risk long term.
All I can say is thank God for President Trump's leadership and his team knowledge.
Then you've got, should the government know, and this is from at Horty, sir.
Horty, sir, says no.
At CAS 1776 says yes, it's not free speech.
It is programmed by many who have evil intent for its use.
Very true, CASC.
It's so good to see you, by the way.
At Rob Pligram Sr. says yes, in general, I'm opposed to regulation, but there are safety issues involved and the very real possibility that all 50 states will try to regulate AI individually.
That would hamstring progress and add unnecessary additional cost.
Other countries will not impose such restrictions on their state-run AI development.
Federal regulation would ensure one standard is met while keeping America in the lead.
At Foxy, 41028 says yes.
At Deborah Milam6 says yes.
At Molly McFrawley says yes.
Ditto to what at Mighty Mouse200 Fleet Admiral James said yes.
At Hippie D 87544 says yes, AI should be regulated as in following copyright laws and not using images of people without their knowledge or consent.
At Kimber Tucson says yes, AI must be monitored closely.
Fleet Admiral James comes back and says, this is at Mighty Mouse200.
P.S. If I had to name AI, I would call it AI Data.
At Big Daddy, let's see, this is, wait, Big Daddy underscore MRI.
Hi, Jules.
Looking forward to this one.
I hope you're here.
We have Cyborg001 who says, not really certain it can.
The government might try and have no real change in what's going to happen, similar to the various social media platforms.
Martha Johnson.
Hey, Martha Johnson.
It's been a while since I've seen you.
This is Martha J 74276781.
She says yes.
At F106 Lady, she says yes.
Oh, and by the way, I know that you are trying the beautiful Kaylee Beauty Creams.
And I wanted to say I'm so glad.
Just because we take a break with a sponsor doesn't mean that we don't like them anymore.
I love their products.
I just wanted to tell you that.
Anyway, so we've had that conversation.
Thank you for supporting the show.
But I do love Kaylee Naturals.
They're a great company.
And sometimes you'll find that with advertisers, we will rotate them in and out on both shows.
But it doesn't mean, oh, all of a sudden we broke up or something and we don't like them.
No, it doesn't work that way.
Then we got Ron Vlasco at Ron Vlasco says, yes, there are too many unknowns in the future.
At Fort Myers, Guy64 says yes.
At Crocheting Farms, yes.
And some way mark so AI can be identified.
I know I get swooped into that thing every single time, especially with animal videos, because I want them so badly to be true.
And then somebody will say, oh, you know, that's AI that you posted.
Like, oh, thanks.
Thanks for that.
Because I was just loving that and had a great message to go with it.
And then boom.
But it doesn't change the message.
And, you know, it's just like anything else.
I don't know.
But it gets me every time.
At Krabby21 says, yes, yes, yes.
Hello, Jules team and gems.
It has been a unified effort, but accepting of ideas from the states.
We have at Slack me, yes.
We have at Granny underscore Annie1, who was complaining that she only got like 20 minutes of the show on X and then it was booted.
It happens on X sometimes.
I don't know why.
I hope you found another platform.
That's why we tell everybody, make sure that you go to the website and you can find other platforms where that doesn't happen as much.
But yes, Granny underscore Annie1.
It does happen on X more than most.
Then you have at Double.
Oh, she says the government should regulate AI.
This is a new frontier that has to be entered into with some guardrails.
Then double N 97182470 says yes.
At Arkin John 1968, hello there, sir.
It's so good to see you.
No, he says the federal government cannot even tie its shoes.
Yes, there should be regulations on AI, but not by federal government.
They should not be allowed to make it one giant system.
It has to be many independent systems regulated by individual state.
I think we are putting too much dependence on AI and it will only lead to digital ID, social credit scores, and cashless society.
AI is a tool to implement the mark of the beast.
Why do you think they are building all the data centers?
Surveillance.
At NES underscore Dennis, how many things does the federal government get right?
So he answered my question with a question, and that's a great question.
Not doing too well, are they?
At Pete Trombly, he says yes.
At GSUSY63 says yes.
It sounds like the states are wanting to do different things, so this seems good to be federally regulated.
At WJEEP 218846, yes, they regulate alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
AI is far more dangerous than those.
At JK Ratfink69, no, I don't think so.
At King Bob, he is speaking both in YouTube and also X. At King Bob001 says absolutely a universal federal law.
Imagine if it is state-to-state LOL.
Now think Camie California, New York, Minnesota, Magadishu, Oregon, Oregon, Washington State, etc.
It would be a nightmare.
I have more to say, but thank you for your attention to this matter.
King Bob.
At DKA Mazed, no, the federal government has proven they can't be trusted with anything.
At RStack 29 says yes, AI needs smart control.
But unfortunately, I firmly believe our government is not smart and will mess this innovation up like they messed up our health system with the likes of the ACA.
At BJ Cole M77570727, yes and at the federal level, grave mistake to leave AI regulation to the several states.
Communist China has no such structures, regulating it at the central government level.
Our government needs to be competitive.
At Zeta underscore Alicia says hell no to the federal regulation of AI X. AI is the future of innovation, free speech, and American dominance.
The last thing we need is another bloated government agency strangling it with red tape censorship and control.
Let the private sector geniuses like Elon and XAI lead the way.
Keep bureaucrats' hands off my vote.
No, what's yours?
There she is.
At Pritchett, 1776, no, we the people should control AI.
At my big block, Effie, one, who says very hesitant, yes.
AI is like having a lion by the tail.
You don't like it, but you don't dare let go of it.
AI is lazy.
Never take anything at face value before checking multiple sources.
The potential for fraud and abuse is staggering.
Very true.
At Little Good, John says no, they'll only weaponize it against us.
A conservative DA says yes, because we have all seen the Terminator.
At Roberto, Blanche says, not now, but later on, because if the federal government do now, the regulation will kill it.
The other countries that do not regulate, they'll advance and dominate the field.
At Monica, COYNE 58 says absolutely.
At Teresa, Brawley says no.
At Mark Bonds 2 says not possible to regulate.
At B. Jorni818 says yes, and Elon agrees 100%.
That's why he immediately distanced himself from his partner, Sam Altman, when he realized that their AI project, OpenAI, was going to be unchecked for programming itself into the wrong direction.
Watch Elon's three-hour interview with Jordan Peterson.
At A Forever MA 87544 says this is a slippery slope.
But AI will have to be regulated at some point due to the fake news that mainstream media likes to release as truth.
For example, putting Vance's head onto another man's in order to lie about him arguing with his wife at a restaurant equals slander.
I remember that story that happened this week.
Yes, that was pretty bad.
It was a bad job too.
I mean, the AI, even I could figure that one out.
And normally I just take things at face value, but no, I could tell.
I mean, he would not wear a t-shirt to a restaurant.
First off, but a t-shirt that didn't have a sleeve?
That's kind of going a little far.
So at Elon SilencedMe underscore, only in such that you cannot create images of people committing lewd acts without their consent, so as to prevent things like AI videos of politicians, groping kids to drop as an October surprise or nude or anything like that.
Remember That Story00:03:22
Memes must still be allowed.
So there you go.
All right.
Well, this has been fun as usual.
You guys are great.
Thank you so much for coming today.
You know, we are going to take a long vacation for Christmas.
I should go ahead and let you know that now.
I'm sure we'll get a lot of grief for it.
But it's good to do because we work six days a week on these shows.
And so just to have a little time with friends and family is a good thing to do.
But we will be here next weekend, just so you know.
I'm going to go ahead and have all the shows.
But then for Christmas, we're going to be gone for quite a bit of time just because of the way it falls this year.
So I hope you all are going to spend your holidays with people that are special in your life and things.
You've got things going on.
This is, it's never a dull moment on social media, that's for sure.
And especially with the President Trump administration, he's just knocking it out of the park.
That's what's fun about doing these shows is that every day, every week, it's something new.
There is never a dull moment.
But I could not do any of it without my awesome team.
They are truly amazing.
They are just such great patriots.
Just so you all know who I'm talking about, Rob Plegram.
And thank you again.
I just wanted to thank everybody for the prayers for him.
But he is out of the hospital, thank goodness, and doing much better.
The monologue and the top news stories were written by Rob Plegram Sr.
Special shout out to Patriot Penzy for the research and the layout, Fleet Admiral James and proudly deplorable, aka Rob Plegram Sr. for supporting articles and oversight.
These three do an amazing job each and every week for this show.
I could not do it without them, as you all know.
We also have Megavolts.
He's got game-changing ideas, relentless efforts that keep us moving forward.
And of course, our standing ovation to our wonderful, incredible mods who create a safe, welcoming space for us to connect, share, and spill the tea.
We are beyond grateful for everything that you do.
A sincere thank you to Nick Twit and Link London for generously sharing these beautiful music and these melodies for this show.
Of course, I had to take the lemon twist.
I had to give it a break until I find out what's going on with that, but hopefully they'll be back.
Can't wait.
But this song was so good that, of course, somebody purchased it, and I just have to make sure that it's okay that we use it.
Anyway, well, we started this episode in the dark waters of the Caribbean, and we end it with American Steel on patrol and a tyrant on the ropes.
This is what leadership looks like.
This is what winning feels like.
Thank you for spending your Saturday with me.
If this fired you up even half as much as it did me, do me a favor, hit that subscribe button, ring the bell, or share this episode with one friend who needs to hear the truth.
We're just getting started, but until next time, stay vigilant, stay proud, and keep fighting for this country.
This is Jules Jones, and thank you for joining me for a political rendezvous.
In the meantime, you all be safe, be kind to one another, and we will see you later.
