CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION dissects Trump’s 2026 "War on Fraud," freezing $259M in Minnesota Medicaid funds and targeting $300B+ in healthcare fraud via Vance’s DOJ task force, while tying systemic waste to Democratic states like California and New York. Simultaneously, it frames a fictional U.S.-led strike on Iran—killing its Supreme Leader, closing the Strait of Hormuz, and sparking regime-change chaos—as a 47-year reckoning against nuclear threats, contrasting Trump’s decisive action with Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal and Obama’s cash-for-hostages deals. Amid oil price spikes and State of the Union disruptions by anti-Trump activists, callers debate immigration policy impacts, from Florida’s safer streets to Massachusetts’ persistent crime, while the host links fraud crackdowns to divine intervention ("Jehovah Nissi") and past persecution under Clinton. The episode ends with a rallying cry for accountability, framing fraud as a bipartisan crisis demanding urgent action. [Automatically generated summary]
Grab yourself a nice hot cup of coffee, settle in cozy, because we are about to spill some serious tea on today's political rendezvous.
Today we're diving deep into something that's got me seriously fired up.
The absolute mess of fraud, corruption, and straight-up waste in our federal government program.
You know those entitlement beasts like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP that are supposed to help people in need but end up getting gamed by crooks, bureaucrats, and endless red tape, and gems?
Let me tell you, this isn't some fresh scandal.
It's been going on for decades with jaw-dropping schemes that will make your blood boil.
Hardworking taxpayers are getting squeezed to fund this nonsense while the system keeps the doors wide open for abuse.
We're kicking off our full crusade against corruption right here.
And first up, let's rewind and spill the tea on the history.
Focusing on the wildest, most outrageous scandals.
Buckle up because it's shocking and honestly infuriating.
Fast forward and the scandals just get bigger.
Okay, so picture this.
It's the 1960s.
Great society era under LBJ.
Medicaid launches in 65.
Health coverage for the poor.
Federal-state partnership.
Sounds compassionate on the surface, right?
But almost right away, the problems explode.
By the 70s and 80s, we're talking billions siphoned off through Medicaid mills, fake clinics running unnecessary tests to rake in cash.
Fast forward and the scandals just get bigger.
Remember the Columbia HCA case?
In the late 90s and early 2000s, this massive hospital chain got hit with the biggest healthcare fraud settlement ever at the time.
Over $840 million for inflating bills, exaggerating diagnosis to jack up Medicare imbursements, and straight-up kickbacks to doctors.
Executives pleading guilty.
Taxpayers robbed blind.
But hold on, it gets crazier.
Jump to recent years.
In 2025, the DOJ dropped the largest healthcare fraud takedown in U.S. history.
324 defendants charged.
Over $14.6 billion in alleged fraud.
We're talking transnational crime rings, stealing identities from over a million Americans to bill Medicare for fake urinary catheters and medical equipment.
$10.6 billion in phony claims alone in one scheme called Operation Gold Rush.
They laundered the money through crypto and shell companies overseas.
Another piece, a Pakistani national allegedly conspired to bill Arizona Medicaid $650 million for addiction treatment that never even happened.
Preying on vulnerable Native Americans and pocketing millions to buy a luxury home in Dubai.
South Florida, still a hotbed, with one owner convicted in a $1.3 billion scheme.
These aren't small-time crooks.
They're organized operations treating our programs like an all-you-can-steal buffet.
Medicare's no better.
Coverage for seniors turned into a fraud magnet.
Schemes with fake telemedicine companies billing for unnecessary braces or genetic tests.
Opioid pill mills, wound care scams, targeting the elderly.
One Texas doctor got sentenced for a $145 million fraud just recently.
And during COVID, improper payments exploded.
GAO says $2.8 trillion in improper payments since 2003, with Medicare and Medicaid gobbling up huge chunks, 34% of the mess.
That's money meant for real families.
Poof, gone to thieves.
Now snap.
Food stamps.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program?
Oh, gems.
This one's a true crime gold mine.
Back in the 70s, fraud rates hit 55% in some spots.
People selling stamps for cash or drugs.
Switched to EBT cards.
Criminals adapted fast.
Card skimming shady retailers swapping benefits for cash at a discount.
In 2025, a USDA employee got charged in a $66 million bribery ring, supplying unauthorized EBT terminals to smoke shops and ineligible stores, processing millions in fake transactions.
One New York case alone generated over $66 million in unauthorized SNAP redemptions.
Gangs draining accounts.
Insiders stealing benefits.
Overpayments around 10%.
Lately costing $10 billion a year.
States like Alaska, up to 57% overpayments.
Classic big government failure.
Weak verification, no accountability, just endless cash flowing out and breeding theft instead of help.
And Minnesota, Jims, it's ground zero right now.
The Feeding Our Future scandal, non-profit claiming to feed hungry kids during COVID, but fraudulently billing for 91 million fake meals and stealing 250 million in federal funds.
Dozens convicted, ringleaders using the cash for lavish lifestyles.
Burberry, Louis Vuitton, foreign transfers.
Prosecutors say half or more of $18 billion in Medicaid funds since 2018 might have been stolen through similar loopholes.
Republicans calling it out.
Taxpayer dollars vanishing while the needy get shortchanged.
Overall, GAO estimates the Fed lose $233 to $521 billion annually to fraud.
That's not compassion.
That's a rigged system bleeding us dry.
And that's the twisted backstory, Jims.
Decades of massive schemes, billion-dollar busts, and robbery dressed up as help.
But here's the exciting part.
Now we've got the war on fraud.
President Trump's 2026 game changer.
With VP JD Vance stepping up like the sheriff we need.
No more excuses, no more looking the other way.
It's time to investigate, prosecute, and finally putting American taxpayers first.
We deserve better than this endless cycle.
Okay, that was heavy and outrageous, but this crusade against corruption is just getting started.
Stick with me as we dig into the players, the plans, and how we actually fix this mess.
Fixing the Mess00:05:08
What do you think?
Are you ready to see some real accountability?
Drop your thoughts below and I'll catch you in the next segment.
Hello, gyms.
Our fun fact for today is notable because of the current tensions and what's been going on in the Middle East with Iran.
35 years ago, February 28th, 1991, the first Gulf War ended when U.S.-led coalition's forces, they went through Desert Storm, the Operation Desert Storm, liberated Kuwait from Iraq invasion, and President George H.W. Bush declared a ceasefire.
35 years later, the Middle East is still a hotspot.
Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
Iran sure did.
They should have taken the deal when they could.
In this case of FAFO, I guess they found out.
Well, it is 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.
I also encourage you to visit our website, Jules JonesLive, for updates.
Well, I normally say it's been a week, it's been a week, it's been a week, hasn't it?
Woo!
But today I'll say it's been a day because I don't think I got even an ounce of sleep last night with all that's going on with Iran.
We're going to cover that, a whole bunch of other things as well.
This whole week was wow, like we expected it to be, but my goodness, then it just escalated.
President Trump is running the board and he is doing a fantastic, fantastic job.
So much has happened in one week.
Just last Saturday, if you can believe it was a week ago, we were congratulating the women's U.S. hockey team for winning the gold medal.
I mean, how far away does that seem?
By defeating Canada.
And we were anticipating the men's gold medal game between the U.S. hockey team against Canada.
And well, you know how that ended.
Pretty well.
Just unbelievable.
Incredible heroes.
Just so proud of what they were able to accomplish.
It was quite a feat for them.
An honor, I am sure, of a lifetime.
President Trump, it was so well received, the State of the Union, everything that was going on over there.
Just incredible.
So they were congratulated by President Trump by phone.
Of course, they celebrated with Kash Patel in the locker room, and they just were the heroes and the winners they were.
They received the special honor of appearing at President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night during his State of the Union address.
President Trump announced that goaltender Connor Hellebuck would be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his outstanding performance.
What an honor.
Of particular significance to all of us is the fantastically patriotic reception that Olympic hero Jack Hughes has received since then.
As a National Hockey League, as they resumed regular play on Wednesday night, the home crowd in New Jersey roared with appreciation when Hughes was introduced almost as loudly as Democrat Governor Mikey Sherrill was booed.
And the same thing happened on Thursday night in Philadelphia.
These players are now national heroes, and these gold medal wins have reignited a feeling of national pride in America.
Crusade Against Corruption00:03:09
It is wonderful to see.
So now on to the focal point of today's show, which is the Crusade Against Corruption.
Ever since you had Elon Musk when he led the initial Department of Government Efficiency Doge, we have been infuriated by the amount of waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funding that has been uncovered.
It's enormous.
We knew it was there, but we never knew quite how much was there.
Recently, Somali fraud scandals in Minnesota further exposed how wasteful and criminal these fraud schemes are.
President Trump is determined to solve this problem.
So in early January, the Trump administration announced plans for a new official division within the DOJ focused on national fraud enforcement.
At the same time, a White House-led anti-fraud task force was planned to be led by VP JD Vance.
The purpose of this task force is to coordinate activities across the government agencies, including the DOJ, Federal Trade Commission, Treasury, and other departments.
So in other words, JD Vance, his task force, can go wherever they need to go to root out fraud, expose it, and prosecute it.
It is about time.
So in his wonderful State of the Union address, President Trump declared this to be the war on fraud.
And the next morning, JD Vance announced that $259 million in Medicaid funds would be withheld from Minnesota to pressure the state to get serious about fraud prevention.
Plans are in place to target fraud in California, New York, Illinois, and other states.
Vice President Vance, he has described his mission as rooting out taxpayer money which was stolen and cracking down aggressively.
This will include the identification of waste, fraud, and abuse in programs such as welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, and more.
The health care fraud alone could total more than $300 billion.
For far too long, politicians have shoveled billions of our tax dollars to cronies and crooks without limit.
This money in turn was given to illegal aliens and other ineligible recipients, including enormous numbers of dead people.
We can only imagine how much was kicked back to the politicians who allowed it to happen.
The federal government has provided virtually no oversight or verification exposing taxpayer wallets to unlimited fraud.
Starting now, that ends.
Thank goodness this enormous problem is finally being addressed, and I couldn't be happier that Vice President Vance will lead the crusade against corruption and will be the primary spokesman for the fraud crackdown.
Cannot Wait for Corruption Crusade00:02:42
I can't wait for them to get started.
He is more than welcome to start with C, California, because we all know there's plenty here where I am.
Cannot wait until they bust that open.
But before we get into all of that, we will begin today's new, the whole new show.
It's like got a whole new outline just in case you're new here.
So I'm going to go over how the show runs.
Our top news story countdown, which takes a more tongue-in-cheek approach to this week's mostly wonderful news stories.
We will spill the tea with this week's show, Crusade Against Corruption, which will include our current breaking news and next news for today, our What is Wrong with These People segment, showing how the left has dumbed down our society.
We'll also review some of President Trump's victories for the week.
And then finally, we'll cover this week's question of the day, where you get to provide your answers in the show comments.
Now, you all know that I love having you here every Saturday at 3 o'clock sharp.
But if for some reason you can't be here or if you missed any of our live shows, you can always watch them later.
You can check them out on our YouTube channel or on our website, which is julesjoneslive.com.
As always, a special thank you for finding your way to new platforms to watch the show on, which can also be found on our website.
When you go there, all you have to do is click on one of the apps.
It'll take you right into the chat.
But I truly appreciate you.
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 begin as we always do with our top news stories for the week.
Coming in at number 10, we have an armed intruder that was shot dead after breaching President Trump's Mar-a-Lago security perimeter.
This is the third attempted assassination of President Trump that we know of.
Leftist inflammatory rhetoric is a catalyst for all of this, but they won't stop.
Number One Story: Snowball Fight Chaos00:04:44
Their evil hatred runs too deep.
Coming in at number nine, we have the top cartel member.
I know it's like the news the way it's been going lately.
It's hard to, you're going, okay, which are we in Iran?
Are we in Venezuela?
Where are we exactly?
This was El Mincho, the leader of the CJNG, the JALASCO New Generation cartel in Mexico, eliminated by joint U.S.-Mexico Special Forces operation.
This sent a strong message to the cartels that they are not invincible, and it's good to see Mexico and the U.S. working against the cartels.
Coming in at number eight, U.S. men and women's Olympic hockey teams each defeat Canada in overtime games to win the gold medals.
President Trump invited both gold medal winning teams to the State of the Union address.
Only the men accepted, but what a reception they got.
It was a well-deserved special moment.
Congratulations to both teams.
In at number seven, Trump administration sending strike team to California to root out states insurance program fraud.
I can't wait for this.
If Vice President Vance's strike team is focused, this may be the second California gold rush.
From elections to welfare to insurance, the level of fraud in California is incalculable.
In at number six, we have AOC.
She had a emotional breakdown, meltdown on camera, appears to hold back tears, blames Trump and critics for her foreign policy disasters.
This phony baloney completely flopped on the world stage, but did she learn that she's in way over her empty head?
No, she thinks you don't understand.
She can't help being stupid, but she seems to be completely unaware that she is stupid and that's dangerous.
Keep her talking, Democrats.
Please keep her talking.
In at five, we've got the House Republicans who call on Representative Tony Gonzalez to resign.
This is after messages allegedly showing that he repeated requests for nude photos from Staffer, who later died by lighting herself on fire.
This was such a sickening story.
Tony Gonzalez stubbornly has refused to resign despite of the disgusting nature of what he did.
In at four, Ma'am Danny.
From the videos that I've seen, it looks like a snowball fight.
Ma'am Danny under pressure as NYPD pelted in Greenwich.
Seriously, Zoron the moron, in addition to snow, ice, and rocks, rocks, and they were throwing rocks at police officers.
Two NYPD officers were injured.
If people had pelted the Muslims who assembled in Times Square, would that have just been a snowball fight?
Or would that have been a hate crime?
Better yet, if Ma'am Danny gets pelted with snowballs, ice chunks, and rocks at his next public appearance, would that be okay?
Would it just be another snowball fight?
No, it wouldn't.
This clown show is anti-cop and it's too despicable for words.
Trump goes off at number three on low IQ Ilan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for screaming at him during the State of the Union speech, calls for them to be deported.
They were completely out of control and have brought third world chaos into the House of Representatives.
They both shouted from their seats, trying to disrupt the president's address.
Omar, queen of Somali fraud, shouted, you killed Americans, while Tlaib was accused of chanting KKK when others were chanting USA, USA.
They disgraced their offices and should be censured and removed as soon as possible.
In it too, embarrassing.
New Jersey governor Mikey Sherrill and husband were booed loudly at the Devil's Game, honoring U.S. Olympic hockey hero Jack Hughes.
New Jersey politics is dominated by leftist-run large cities, while most of the remaining areas are actually red.
Apparently, all the hockey fans come from the red counties and towns, and they don't like Mikey.
President Trump's State of the Union 202600:15:51
And our number one biggest story for this week.
This was incredible.
President Trump's home run State of the Union 2026 showed exactly how crazy Democrats are.
It's true.
They're nuts.
They're insane.
Something is definitely wrong with those people.
This was the finest State of the Union address ever delivered.
Accomplishment after accomplishment was cited, and no matter how hard Democrats tried to disrupt President Trump, he was ready for them.
He put them right back in their spot.
It was glorious to watch.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Three more years of winning straight ahead.
And there you have it.
Our top news stories for the week.
And we're going to head right on in to X because this place is crazy over there.
There is so much that is going on, especially with Iran.
So we're going to head over there and see what's going on.
Plenty is the answer.
I mean, every second, this thing is heating up.
This is what I love about President Trump.
I mean, you don't know what he's going to do.
He keeps it, he has you looking over there and he's doing this over here.
And then boom, you're like, whoa.
When I saw the notification, I thought, okay, there he is, clever as ever.
He's got everybody looking in one direction and here he is doing something else in the other.
All right, so as you all know, we have a question of the day on this show.
And if you will, you can visit my site either on any platform, but I'm on the one right now on X.
And the question is, let me get it ready for you.
It's time for today's question of the day.
Have President Trump's immigration policies made your community safer?
Share your thoughts.
They could be featured live this Saturday, February 28th, during a political rendezvous at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
Pick your viewing platform at JulesJonesLive.com.
Yeah.
So if you could answer, that would be great because at the end of the show, we will go back and we will look at what you had to say on each one of the platforms.
I normally go to X, YouTube, Getter, and Truth.
So if you want to give it a go, I just pick a couple from each site because that was getting so big that I had to just start kind of, you know, scaling down because all of a sudden that was getting longer than any other segment that we had.
But I'm trying to pick people that I don't recognize or I haven't seen before.
So keep on with that.
It's fun.
But that is the question.
Have President Trump's immigration policies made your community safer?
And if you will, let me know where you're from because it is, it does matter.
Like in California, it matters.
And, you know, in our bigger cities versus somewhere out in the country or in Florida or somewhere else, let us know because that's really kind of interesting to see what happens, what people think in a big area like a metropolitan LA versus somewhere else.
So yeah, I have this conversation with my friends in Mississippi and they're like, I don't know how you do it there in LA.
But you know what?
I do believe that with this new task force, things are going to get a lot better.
I do believe it.
I want to give a special shout out to at Patriot underscore Linus for always getting the word out on the show.
And thank you so much.
This show has grown.
It really has.
And it's because you're bringing friends or you're telling people to join.
And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
Thank you for that.
It just, it helps our chat room.
We get to connect with like-minded patriots.
It's great.
So the war on fraud.
That is today's big highlight.
And I think it's wonderful.
I mean, one of the things is, I mean, let's talk about it for a sec.
You know, President Trump is a showman and he had the apprentice, right?
So he has everybody kind of eyeing what's going to happen in the next presidential election.
Now, a lot of people are saying, hey, shoe in JD Vance, 48 all the way.
I'm one of those people.
But, you know, you got to say, we've got a lot of talent, thank goodness.
With the administration that President Trump has picked, there are a lot of shiny stars up there.
And they may want to throw their hat in.
And so he wants everybody to show and give a little piece of the public of what they've got.
And in this case, 48 got this one.
So he's going to have his chance.
You know, Marco Rubio, the big joke is what can't he do?
Not what can, but what can't, because he can fill in any position.
He's very good with delegating.
He's very good with, you know, orchestrating how things need to go to make sure that departments are successful.
He is fantastic in the position that he's in, but he's been rumored to be the VP on the ticket with JD Vance.
But it's great to be able to highlight JD Vance because generally you don't know much about the vice president.
They disappear.
I mean, look at Kackling Kamala Harris.
I mean, it was like, who?
And then all of a sudden they're like, she's going to be your next president.
Not on our watch.
And not on our watch.
Are we going to allow them not to pass the Save America Act?
That's got to happen.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
This Thun character, if he doesn't do something immediately, he needs to go.
This guy is bad news.
Now, we have already seen what it looks like with shady characters and rhinos like him.
We had it in the first Trump administration when you had McConnell and then you had that lame brain up there, Paul Ryan.
Thank you very much, but no, pass.
We're not doing that again.
So if you would, I have memorized this number.
I call this number all the time.
If I stub my toe, if I trip on a, you know, on a rug, whatever.
I call Thune and I'm like, hey, what are you going to do your job?
I mean, here you've got majority of Americans who want this bill passed.
Do something.
And yet he is deflecting.
He is trying to act like he is, you know, he's got all of these other things ahead of it.
A talking filibuster is exactly what we need to get this thing done.
Who doesn't want a secure election, especially with what all we've learned?
So we've got JD Vance, spotlight.
And telephone number one more time, 202-224-2321 on that note, just again, 202-224-2321 so that you have it.
And Mauds, if you don't mind just dropping it into the chat throughout the show so that people will call, because I think that is really getting to them.
There's also been an ad run, which is great from the committee.
They were like, hey, we're going to put, we're going to double this pressure because you just can't do this to the American people, especially when you're saying, oh, you know, McConnell has to do this, and there's McConnell.
He doesn't even know what time it is.
Anyway, back to this.
JD Vance calls out Tim Waltz for putting zero effort into weed out the massive fraud in Minnesota.
Do you ever wonder why that is?
The fact that there are so many people handing out millions and billions of dollars of federal Medicaid money without even confirming that they've done the thing that they say that they're doing is a disgrace.
All we need, Waltz, and the administration of Minnesota to do is something quite simple, which is to show that before you give Medicaid funds to somebody, you're taking seriously whether they provided the services they say that they're providing.
Just do your job.
It's real simple.
Then you have another one here.
That one was from Nick Sortor, and here's a second one from Nick Sortor on X.
He says, JD Vance says the amount of health care fraud being committed in Democrat states by illegals and others could be well over 300 billion.
Politicians like Walt, who are complicit in this, need to start being arrested.
Taxpayers are being robbed blind.
It's true.
And it's not the first time in history.
That's why I put that video together for you so you can see.
This is not our first rodeo.
This has happened before.
They just think that they can get away with it.
Vance also announces the administration is withholding Medicaid funding to Minnesota amid the fraud investigation.
This is war peacock.
He's serious.
And he is going to withhold Medicaid funding until the fraud investigation is figured out, until we start getting the answers that we need.
Now, just so everybody knows who's involved in this administration, I want to give you a little backstory.
So this is his team.
The War on Fraud is a Trump administration initiative.
It was announced by President Trump during his February 2026 State of the Union address, with Vice President JD Vance officially tasked to lead it.
The effort focuses on rooting out alleged waste, improper payments, fraud, and abuse in federal programs, particularly entitlements like Medicaid, Medicare, welfare, and related areas, often targeting Democrat-led states and specific scandals, starting with withholding Medicaid funds from Minnesota over day cares and other alleged misuse.
There's a lot there, and they've uncovered a ton of it.
They know what they've got, and it is going to be parade wave when we're done.
So it appears to be a high-level whole-of-government coordination role for Vance rather than like a formal standalone team or agency with large named staff.
Public details on a dedicated team under Vance are limited.
As of February 2026, it's described more as a collaborative oversight involving existing federal entities and key appointees.
So here's what the key sources indicate about the involvement.
You're going to have JD Vance, the vice president.
He's going to be the primary leader in public face.
He has held a press conference with Dr. Oz on February 25th, 2026.
He announced actions like pausing Medicaid reimbursements to Minnesota and emphasizing investigations into fraudsters, including potential prosecutions.
Dr. Oz is also going to be working with him hand in hand, the administrator, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
This is his job.
He is closely collaborating with Vance on healthcare-related fraud, so Medicare, Medicaid, abuse.
Oz joined him with the announcement and has been highlighted for CMS's role in uncovering and addressing issues like improper billing and programs, which there is a huge, there's so much there.
Department of Justice is also involved in the investigations and potential prosecutions.
Vance has referenced DOJ throwing fraudsters in prison.
This ties into the new division of National Fraud Enforcement, or the National Fraud Enforcement Division, which Vance helped launch earlier in 2026.
Colin McDonald, he was nominated by Trump as the inaugural head assistant attorney general for this division following Vance's push for the role.
Now, there was initial discussion of the position reporting directly to the White House, Vance, but it appears aligned under Deputy A.G. Todd Blanche, like other divisions.
He also is going to be involving the Treasury Secretary.
Vance has explicitly mentioned working with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who I love, I think he's amazing, to review the income tax records and other financial data for fraud detection.
You have the broader whole of government approach, which consists of Vance describing it being involved with multiple agencies, so inspectors general for oversight, potential FTC elements, and earlier related anti-fraud task force concepts.
So from January to February, you had announcements targeting states like California.
Can't wait for them to get here.
No large dedicated staff list has been publicly released yet.
It's more about directing existing resources and appointees.
So earlier in 2026, this is before the State of the Union, there were reports of an anti-fraud task force led by Vance via an executive order, potentially with a vice chair like Andrew Ferguson, FTC related.
But the State of the Union framing, it shifted the emphasis to the broader war under Vance's leadership with immediate actions in the healthcare fraud.
As this is the very recent initiative, it was announced just a couple of days ago that a more formal team and details and appointees may emerge soon.
So that is something that you just need to know.
There are quite a few players, but the big ones are the ones that I just mentioned.
And I think they are going to do a heck of a job.
I just cannot wait to see what all they are able to pull off here because we certainly need them.
This fraud has gotten way out of control, as you all know, and it's been a long time coming.
So you know the players and it's going to be a great thing to get going because Nick Shirley, when he went there and he started exposing all of these clowns, there was a lot more that was discovered.
It just kept getting worse, kept getting worse.
The FBI was saying, hey, you know, we've been looking at this for a long time, but I'm glad that it was kind of a pile on.
And now we just need, just like everything else, we need some rest.
So waiting for that day.
But thank you, President Trump, for doing that because I don't know why I'm paying taxes, honestly.
I'm sure you wonder too.
All right.
Wow.
This whole week has been crazy.
But then last night, you have Iran who launched retaliatory missile strikes on Israel.
This is after joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Tehran.
It also targets the U.S. base in Beiran, Ron, with missile attack.
So Behrain, sorry.
This whole thing went down in the middle of the night.
And all of a sudden, everybody was going, whoa, he just did it.
We knew that when they were saying, hey, look, it's not safe to be here, when Ambassador Huckleby said, you know, you need to leave the area, that something was up.
We knew it was, you know, not if, but when, especially when the talks just fell to the floor when they were meeting.
USS Gerald R. Ford Hit?00:15:13
So FAFO, and they found out.
Laura Loomer is reporting that Iran fired the missile that struck the school.
ABC News looks like just an Iranian state media right now.
This is the thing.
You've seen them do this.
The propaganda news.
You will see how many people, she's saying, are agents for Iran.
Today we unmask the real paid agents.
And trust me, those people are getting paid a lot more.
So this was what they put out there.
The toll from a strike on a girls' elementary school in Iran has risen to 57 students dead and 60 others injured, according to Iran's semi-official news agency, which cited, this is TASNIM News, it cited the local governor.
So you can follow live updates, but I really wouldn't bother because they are already starting right out of the gates with these stories.
Oh, you know, this missile hit that.
All of these children and women were hurt.
There are going to be some casualties.
President Trump, he made the announcement last night.
He said, look, there are going to be casualties.
And we're hoping that there's not going to be, but there could be.
And so we're awaiting all of this.
Please pray for everybody, our men and women abroad.
This is a very scary situation, but it's also dangerous here.
We've talked about sleeper cells for a very long time.
And with the open borders, I'm not trying to scare anybody, but with the open borders, as you all know, we don't know who's here.
We have absolutely no idea.
Biden just let the floodgates open and said, come on in.
You had them opening up their prisons and mental institutions in Venezuela and other areas.
You had a flood of people coming into this country.
I mean, a lot of people from China, a lot of people from the Middle East, a lot of people from Russia.
I mean, all over the world, they weren't getting background checks.
When Biden pulled out of Afghanistan, you saw what kind of mess that was that the lamestream media just shoveled under the carpet.
That was a complete and total disaster.
They didn't know who was getting on those planes that they were bringing back here.
They left equipment there.
They left informants, people that worked with us.
I mean, it was one of the worst things that you can imagine.
And no one said a peep about it.
Well, sorry, excuse me, retraction.
First, they blamed Trump.
They said that was his plan, even though it happened with Biden at the helm.
That's the nuttiest thing anybody's ever heard.
I'm just kind of looking at each other going, what?
Who's in charge here?
This was Biden's call, and he made a bad one.
It was a mess.
And you remember, I mean, when you think of the withdrawal of Afghanistan, what do you think of?
I think of all of those people that were running after the plane and the plane that was just crowded with people.
They had no idea who anybody was that were on that plane.
I mean, it was a disaster.
So that's what I'm saying when I'm saying we have a lot of people here and we have since 9-11, even before that.
And Obama, he was no better.
I mean, Obama was sending pallets of cash to Iran.
Think about that.
Pallets of cash.
What does President Trump do?
He sends missiles.
Okay, there are two types of thinking here.
There are two types of presidents.
And there is a reason why Obama has always had the ear of Iran and John Kerry.
His daughter, she married a person that's real big in the government over there.
So, yeah, it's all connected.
So Secretary Christy Noam, she had a warning.
She said, I am in direct coordination with our federal intelligence and law enforcement partners as we continue to closely monitor and thwart any potential threats to the homeland.
Which means they're there.
So be very careful.
Make sure if you see something, say something.
I mean, this is a very serious time.
So I know we've gotten rid of a lot of people.
They were able to, but the threat is imminent.
So at Shane, aka 86, this is quite a post.
The USS Gerald Ford is not parked near Iran.
It is parked off Israel, and no one is asking the only question that matters.
Why?
So this is the ship that we're talking about here, the USS Gerald R. Ford.
And it's a 13.3 billion crown jewel of the U.S. Navy.
The largest warship ever constructed just positioned itself off Hafa, not the Arabian Sea, where the Lincoln sits, 850 kilometers from Iranian shores, loaded for offensive operations, not in the Gulf, where strike range is optical, but off of Israel, defending Israel.
This is interesting.
It's architecture is what he's saying here.
Two carriers, two missions, two entirely different strategic functions.
The Lincoln is the sword.
I need to put you guys up on the screen.
Did I forget to put you up on the screen?
I did.
I'm sorry.
Let me fix that.
It's been a day.
I'm telling you.
When you don't get any sleep around here, it's like, oh.
And I can't even blame the doggies.
I can only blame Trump.
I'm going to blame Trump for this.
Anyway, there you are.
Good to see you.
Okay, so the two carriers, two missions, two entirely different strategic functions.
The Lincoln is a sword.
It's positioned to strike the strike packages into the Iranian airspace within hours of an order.
The Ford is the shield.
So you've got that, which is missile defense systems that creates an umbrella over Israel population centers against the retaliations that follow from the first tomahawk.
America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously.
That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945.
But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics.
When Iran retaliates, and every war game says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel.
They will fly through the same airspace where a U.S. carrier strike group is now stationed.
Every Iranian missile ahead aimed at Tel Aviv or Hafe will traverse the Ford's defensive envelope.
Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group.
Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets.
The Ford's position makes that physically impossible.
The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor.
It's positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of U.S. military response without a single additional political decision required.
This escalation insurance written in steel and seawater.
If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in seven to ten days, if allies hesitate, the Ford's position ensures that Iranian retaliation does a political work Washington cannot do.
It transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support.
You do not park a 13.3 billion carrier where the enemy's return fire will hit unless you want the enemy's return fire to hit it.
The Ford is not there to prevent escalation.
The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and Allied participation politically unavoidable.
So that is a little, you know, a little insight into what's happening here and why things are positioned where they are, which I thought was interesting and wanted to share with you.
Because goodness, I mean, this war games, totally, completely different deal.
So he just said, you know, what happened with this?
And when he started looking at it, it's like, it's not when a carrier like this goes dark, it's not hiding.
It is hunting.
So very interesting facts here.
The Ford has been deployed for 241 conservative days.
If this operation extends through April, it will become the longest carrier deployment since Vietnam.
The U.S. Navy does not break 50-year records for deterrence.
It breaks them for war.
And the Ford is not alone.
The USS Abraham Lincoln holds station, this is in the Arabian Sea, with a second full carrier air wing, escort cruisers and destroyers carrying enough Tomahawk cruise missiles to reshape the geography of Iran's coastline.
So Iran is in a lot of trouble here.
They should have known.
I mean, you know, they posture and they have done this.
They have played this game for quite some time and they just found out.
So here's a picture of it.
You can see what a beast this is.
I mean, this is serious.
Got all of these ships out there.
But yeah, things are happening and they're going to happen at lightning speed.
Really, really neat stuff.
I mean, when you start looking at the power of the U.S. military, what kind of fool is going to go up against that?
Well, those fools are no longer here.
So I guess we don't really have to worry about them anymore.
There is also another one, and it was the closure.
Iran just announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
You can see that 20 million barrels of oil, that's what passed through the strait, the Strait every single day.
15% of all liquefied natural gas on Earth transits that choke point.
One-fifth of global petroleum supply moves through a canal 21 miles wide at its narrowest between, you know, this is between Iran and Oman.
So the IRGC, the Navy broadcast via VHF radio on February 28th, 2026, that said that no vessels are allowed to cross.
Every tanker captain in the Persian Gulf, they heard that transmission.
Every old trading desk on the planet priced it within minutes.
Brent crude oil, it hit $120 a barrel.
That is the opening number.
If a single tanker is struck, seized, or mined, the models go to $200 at $200 oil.
The global economy does not slow down.
It seizes.
Every factory in China that runs on imported crude, every airline that hedged at $85, every European nation that still has not replaced Russian gas and now faces LNG shortages through a closed strait.
This is what's going on.
This is why China is most concerned about what's happening.
Every American who drives to work, this strait, it's not an oil route.
It is the cardiovascular system of the industrial civilization.
Iran just announced that it is clamping the artery.
Iran has threatened this before.
It happened in 2019.
It seized tankers.
In the 1980s, it mined the strait during the tanker war.
It has never declared full disclosure during an active military conflict with two of the most powerful militaries on earth simultaneously striking its territory.
It's not posturing from a position of strength.
This is the last economic weapon of a regime that has lost its air defenses, lost its generals, possibly, and I think it has now been confirmed that they have lost their supreme leader.
Watch the missiles.
They were intercepted over six countries and has exactly one card left to play.
This is a geographic accident that puts 21 miles of water between the world and its energy supply.
This is a very big deal.
The U.S. Fifth Fleet is headquartered in Bahrain.
The U.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group holds station in the Gulf, and American destroyers carry enough Tomahawk cruise missiles to sink every IRGC fastboat, submarine, coastal battery in the Persian Gulf in 48 hours.
Iran knows this.
The announcement is not a military strategy.
It is a suicide note dressed as a threat.
Because the moment Iran fires on a tanker, the United States does not negotiate.
It executes Operation Perang Mantis at 10 times the scale.
And the IRGC Navy ceases to exist as a functioning force.
Iran is not closing the strait.
Iran is daring America to open it by force.
And every old trader on earth knows how that ends, not with negotiation, with wreckage on the seafloor and crude flowing by morning.
Iran's Suicide Note00:05:00
Lots of things happening.
So this is an account you can check in on.
It's got a lot of really great information.
It's at Shane, aka 86, at S-H-A-N-A-K-A 86.
So you can look at some of this, but a lot of people are weighing in.
You have another one, and this one is from Frederick Colves.
And here it is, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan.
You had United Kingdom, Bahrain, Germany, France, Canada.
They are all preparing with NATO to attack Iran, forcing its nuclear surrender.
They are all giving Tehran a lesson right now.
This just puts it into perspective.
You can see how they're all positioned.
At some point, I'm going to have to turn down the music because I don't know if we can play it.
You know, I've got, I had to go to copyright school.
I'm trying to be a good girl over here.
So I don't want to go through that again.
So I'm going to play this for you until we start hearing music.
And so when I abruptly shut it off, you'll know why.
you'll still be able to see the visual.
You can see how they're all They've got them completely surrounded.
This is all, okay, this is where the music comes in and I have to go.
So here's the U.S. and here are all of our tankers.
You've got all of our ships positioned here.
You've got the UK, France, and they are completely surrounded.
This is what it looks like.
Just to give you an idea.
This is really, really something else.
President Trump wouldn't do this if it didn't just have to be done.
And he knew that they had become a big enough threat.
They offered an extended and olive branch several times, but this group would not budge.
They thought, oh, well, we've got China, we've got all of these others that, you know, whatever.
Well, Canada backs the U.S. military attack against Iran.
Although, I mean, really, I don't know, I think it's great that they decided to, but why wouldn't they?
I mean, that's kind of the thing.
You've got several people.
Saudi Arabia has joined the U.S. and Israel in the war against the Islamic region in Iran.
Iran.
I don't know why I say Iran.
For some reason, I do that.
And I'm very sorry about that.
I've got to get that out of my head.
It's Iran, but I always say Iran.
I don't know why.
Then you have Qatar and Jordan.
They just got off the phone.
Both countries are being hit by Iranian missiles tonight.
Both are U.S. allies.
Both are now formally condemning Iran for striking Arab nations.
The Arab world is uniting against Iran in real time.
So you can see what these suckers look like.
Huge.
Yeah, they're a threat.
All right.
Got the sirens.
They're sounding again in Tel Aviv.
The UKPM Starmer, he announced that the United Kingdom has entered the war against Iran.
Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today as part of a coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests, and our allies.
And then, of course, just so everybody knows, these trolls and these bots are real.
What Laura Loomer has been talking about about people and influencers being paid to advocate, she's absolutely right.
And it has been confirmed.
So Wall Street Apes is reporting this, and that is that the head of product at X announces that there was a massive attempt to overwhelm X with social media bots in support of Iran.
Now, this is an attempt by liberals in Iran to sway people against Donald Trump.
X blocked it.
Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok won't.
So don't fall for the bot propaganda.
There's going to be plenty of it.
And it says wave of Iranian bots being filtered.
And this is from Nikki Tabier, N-I-K-I-T-A-B-I-E-R.
So you can see exactly what we're talking about.
All of a sudden, let me take you off real quick so you can see this.
All of a sudden, you had this spike, drop, a spike again.
So this is the aggregated verification volume in comparison to the blocked ones.
So 99.1% have been blocked.
But this is how they try to spread their propaganda.
Fetterman's Major Massey Incident00:15:55
And who are their targets?
Of course, the lamestream media loves this stuff.
They're part of the whole deal.
But so are a lot of influencers.
So are a lot of the podcast bros.
So are a lot of people that really you'd be shocked because a lot of them wrote in on President Trump, his coattails.
Even they were selling his merchandise, not his, but they were making money off merchandise, pro-Trump merchandise.
And then all of a sudden, it's like, who are you?
It's almost like some of our members in Congress, right?
As soon as they get up there, all of their speeches and all of the things that they promised you when they were running, they were all ready to go.
Marjorie Trader Kirin comes to mind.
All of a sudden, flip and switch.
It's like, who are you?
What happened?
That kind of strategy.
Joni Erst is another.
I mean, she went from, you know, wearing plaid and everything else.
She was a country girl to a bob in pearls.
You just didn't even know it was the same person.
So you also have Saudi Arabia, and they jumped in with the USAID.
It was after the massive operation.
And this hits right after Iran's stupid attack on the U.S. base in Saudi Arabia.
And they poked the bear.
So they made even a bigger mistake by attacking there.
Then you have Eric L. Daw, who says Senator John Fetterman, he fires back at Representative Thomas Massey, who vehemently opposes President Trump's strikes on Iran.
That's bizarre.
I'd like to remind my colleague over at the House that Iran massacred 30,000 of their own people.
I love Fetterman.
They can have Massey.
I mean, I know Massey's a congressman.
Fetterman's a senator, but it's like, come on to the other side here, Fetterman.
You're talking with sense.
We've got so many rhinos up there, and they are the ones that are blocking our Save the America Act for no reason other than one where they personally benefit, whether it be financially or whether it be in position of power to keep their seats.
But it's got to end.
We have got to make sure that that passes.
Fetterman also called out those who oppose the strikes on Iran, saying that President Trump is a real peacemaker because he does it through action.
I mean, he says, I might be a Democrat, but the president is correct.
I support it fully.
I'm proud to stand with our military.
To actually create a real peace, you have to commit these kind of actions.
Sometimes peace is possible after these steps.
So here you have, this is the reason, of course, why you have the UAE that got involved too.
I mean, I don't think it would have taken much to get them on our side, but they breached UAE's air defenses, striking the Palm Hotel and Resort in Dubai.
The casualties are unknown.
This happened.
So you can check this video out.
And I don't have sound on, just so you know, so you'll just have to look at it on the screen.
But this is one of the attacks.
This is what got them involved as soon as this happened.
Don't know if anybody was out in that area, if anyone was hurt, but that's all it took.
So The one thing that the lamestream, lame-brained media did, of course, was right out of the gates, they went after President Trump and said, oh, he does not have that kind of power.
He is not supposed to do that.
Here he is playing king again.
Oh my gosh, we have a dictator, right?
The panic and the fear they were trying to instill in everybody.
Well, Marco came out today and he says, look, he truly is.
He is the greatest Secretary of State I believe we have ever had or will ever have again.
It's kind of like President Trump, the greatest president we will ever have or ever have again.
It's just a high bar to get to, but they have both said it.
He called and notified the gang of eight ahead of time before President Trump strikes on Iran, including a call to Hakeem Jeffries.
The Trump administration notified Congress and did the right thing.
The narrative was completely blown out of the water after that.
So he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
So eliminated.
These are the people, at least before this show started, that we were able to figure out who was no longer here.
This is a general.
He is the commander of the IRGC.
I'm going to screw up his name.
This is General Mohammed Pakpur.
He's the commander.
He was eliminated.
He directed the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians in January.
You also have General Ali Shamkhani, Khamini's right man, who was eliminated.
So he's no longer there.
Basically, with the intel that they were able to get the last couple of weeks, they were able to figure out when all of these people were going to be together, sitting at a table after they sat down.
Boom.
That was it.
It was over.
It was incredible.
When you talk about the precision, and apparently something was leaked.
That's what I'm hearing anyway, that there were somebody that did leak it, and it was probably one of the gang of eight.
You know, it doesn't take long for them to try to, you know, get information out there to their allies.
I cannot wait until they, in the press, in the media.
I cannot wait until they reinstate the Smith-Munt Act.
Hopefully that's on the way soon because this whole buddy-buddy system isn't working.
The media has been just nothing but a glorified public relation firm for the Democrats all of these years, and they get paid quite a bit of money to do so.
John Fetterman, he comes out in full support, as you all know.
This was huge.
Even put out a post.
So here are the people.
The war will not truly end.
And this is from Eli Afriat ISR.
The war will not truly end until the mission is completed, and it will soon be completed, very soon.
So, here are the people that have been eliminated.
Breaking U.S. military strikes.
They've hit major sites in Iran, including Iranian parliament, National Supreme Council, Ministry of Intelligence, Iranian Atomic Energy Agency.
They have also been major cyber attacks on Iranian news agencies, and the strikes are still happening right now.
They are in a complete internet blackout with national connectivity at 4%.
This is Disclose TV that is reporting that.
And I'll show you.
I'll take you off for a second.
Just a second because I want you here.
Let me get you there.
Look at that.
Boom.
They just completely blocked it.
So at blocks.org is who is showing this.
Iran, there.
No connectivity.
So they are in dark, in the dark right now.
Reports claim that Iran's supreme leader and Iranian president are assassinated by Israeli airstrikes.
So they came out at first and they said, oh no, he's going to be doing a speech in an hour.
He's great.
He's doing great.
Yeah, he's going to address the people.
He's all ready to go.
Then they said that they couldn't find him.
And now all of a sudden, everybody's going, okay, where is this guy?
Where is he?
Oh, well, we can't find him right now.
We can't get to him right now.
And it's pretty much been determined that he is no longer here.
So Iran targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain and in Qatar.
Time to send in the full power of the United States military, protect our troops at all costs.
And that explains the positioning of the ships.
And that's why they're hanging out there.
Because if they are attacked, President Trump will have the power to do anything that he needs to do.
But definitely keep them in your prayers because, my gosh, whenever you're in a situation like that, it's very dangerous.
And so when President Trump talks about stuff, I mean, he said on Saturday that the United States had today, this morning, that we had launched a major attack on Iran.
This is after numerous discussions.
He said that the United States, you know, had begun major combat operations, President Trump to the Iranian people.
And here he was talking to everybody, getting them ready and prepared for what was to come.
And it came.
FAFO!
There is a reason.
You know, Maduro really got out of that one pretty well.
I mean, all things considered.
He's still walking around he and his wife compared to what happened in this situation.
But Iran was definitely a threat.
They wanted nuclear weapons, which was not going to happen.
No way.
Let me get you back up here.
There.
Look at this.
I'm sure it's happening.
I mean, it's making the military-industrial complex happy.
They love a good, you know, skirmish.
You have, dear compatriots, moments of destiny lie ahead.
The aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived.
This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its repressive apparatus, and its machinery of slaughter, not the country and the great nation of Iran.
But even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands.
It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle.
The time to return to the streets is near.
Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country's military, police, and security forces is clear.
You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian people, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders.
Your duty is to defend the people, not a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime.
Join the people and help bring about a stable and secure transition.
Otherwise, you will go down with Khamene's sinking ship and his regime.
And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this.
The noble people of Iran, despite the savage repression and massacres of this regime, stood firm with courage for nearly two months.
I now ask you to exercise the utmost caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots.
The people of Iran are your natural allies and those of the free world, and they will never forget your support in the most difficult period in contemporary Iranian history.
And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran, in these sensitive hours and days, more than ever, we must stay focused on our ultimate goal, reclaiming Iran.
I ask you to remain in your homes for now and preserve your safety and security.
Stay vigilant and ready so that an appropriate time, which I will announce to you precisely, you can return to the streets for the final action.
Follow my messages through social media and satellite media if there are disruptions to the internet and satellite.
I will stay in touch with you via radio waves.
We are very close to final victory.
I want to be by your side as soon as possible so that together we can take back and rebuild Iran.
Long live Iran.
And this is Reza Palevi who wrote this.
Wow.
UAE, they shut down airspace.
That was 12 hours ago.
Iran's defense minister was also eliminated.
He threatened to destroy Tel Aviv and Hafe.
So he's gone.
You've got all of the videos that are coming out.
The U.S. Tomahawk missiles are flying through Tehran, Iran.
The footage here is just unreal explosions and strikes hit multiple locations.
Downtown offices.
I mean, this is where they were thinking the supreme leader would be.
Other cities and other provinces.
This follows failed nuclear negotiations.
Iran has reportedly responded with at least one retaliatory missile strike on a U.S. air base in Qatar.
Minor damage, no casualties mentioned in initial reports.
Then you have this one who has been eliminated as well.
Ghollum Hussein Mossini Eljay.
He is the head of the judiciary in Iran.
He was eliminated.
He gave the death sentence to thousands of protesters.
And this is what the President of the United States had to say in case you did not hear it.
So it is eight minutes and six seconds, but I think it's important for you to hear it from him.
Exactly what happened.
Let me just get it queued up.
Let me get my volume back on here.
The United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.
Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.
For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.
Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.
Iranian Threats Escalate00:14:32
In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American military personnel.
In 2000, they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Cole.
Many died.
Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq.
The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years, as well as U.S. naval and commercial vessels in international shipping lands.
It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any longer.
From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained, and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts.
And it was Iran's proxy, Hamas, that launched the monstrous October 7th attacks on Israel, slaughtering more than 1,000 innocent people, including 46 Americans, while taking 12 of our citizens hostage.
It was brutal, something like the world has never seen before.
Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested.
It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon.
I'll say it again.
They can never have a nuclear weapon.
That is why in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we obliterated the regime's nuclear program at Fordeaux, Natance, and Isfahan.
After that attack, we warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons, and we sought repeatedly to make a deal.
We tried.
They wanted to do it.
They didn't want to do it.
Again, they wanted to do it.
They didn't want to do it.
They didn't know what was happening.
They just wanted to practice evil.
But Iran refused, just as it has for decades and decades.
They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore.
Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long-range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas, and could soon reach the American homeland.
Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message.
For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.
We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground.
It will be totally again obliterated.
We are going to annihilate their Navy.
We are going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs, as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans.
And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
It's a very simple message.
They will never have a nuclear weapon.
This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States armed forces.
I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration, and there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength, or sophistication.
My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to U.S. personnel in the region.
Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill.
The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties.
That often happens in war, but we're doing this not for now.
We're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission.
We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran.
We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that, with His help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail.
We have the greatest in the world, and they will prevail.
To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces, and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity, or in the alternative, face certain death.
So, lay down your arms.
You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death.
Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.
Stay sheltered.
Don't leave your home.
It's very dangerous outside.
Bombs will be dropping everywhere.
When we are finished, take over your government.
It will be yours to take.
This will be probably your only chance for generations.
For many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it.
No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.
Now you have a president who is giving you what you want.
So let's see how you respond.
America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.
Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.
This is the moment for action.
Do not let it pass.
May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces.
May God bless the United States of America.
May God bless you all.
Thank you.
What a wonderful president.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, really, we hit the jackpot.
Can you imagine Hillary Clinton or Kamal Harris?
We saw what Biden gave us, right?
I mean, we remember that, right?
Whoa.
I mean, gosh, did we ever dodge a bullet?
So lots of other posts going on here.
I'm going to try to keep you up to date as I learned things while I was listening to that.
You've got, this is an Iran missile strike on Tel Aviv.
Pretty big stuff.
You can see what's happening here.
It's just they are very strategic in where they're going.
But I pray for the civilians and everybody else that is involved in all of this.
Unreal.
We've got more over here.
I'm going to get you, switch you back.
We've got a lot of different scenes here.
In Tehran, the people are cheering.
They're celebrating amid reports of Khomeini's death.
Sky was such bad news.
They're all excited.
They are saying things like, I love President Trump, just like President Trump said.
This is your chance.
This is what we've been saying about the Save America Act.
This is our chance if we want to have and make sure that our elections are secure.
Now is the time, especially before midterms.
Lots of things, lots of things.
Iran is looking at freedom.
That was from President Trump.
You can see the situation room.
Looks a lot different in this case, doesn't it?
Than you remember the one with Benghazi and Hillary Clinton.
It was a horrible deal.
This is a residential building that was in central Tel Aviv.
It has been hit by Iranian missiles.
Then you've got downtown.
This is Rahim Qassam, who says, you know, that Persians descend on the White House to celebrate the ouster of the Iranian Islamic regime.
People are just thrilled.
This is the airport, Iranian attack on Dubai International Airport.
You can see what happened here.
Again, President Trump, he did everything that he could do to warn them that this was going to happen.
Iran's counter, Tehran, is already hitting U.S. allies and could still fund terror abroad.
That's what Christy Noam was warning everybody about.
This is what we've been warning everybody about, these sleeper cells.
We honestly, even with President Trump at the helm, we still don't know how many people, how many terrorists, their backgrounds that are in this country, thanks to him.
Biden.
Oh, yeah, look, they have it.
Here's the situation room with President Trump and his team discussing what they're going to do.
And then this was Benghazi.
Little different look, isn't it?
My gosh, that just ended so badly.
So it has been confirmed, just so everybody knows, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini.
He is, he has been eliminated.
He is confirmed dead.
This is from Fox News.
Laura Loomer is saying, you know, the Minister of Culture, this Islamic Guidance Saheed Abbas Saleh, Khamini will not speak today as planned.
No, he won't.
He will be answering.
Let's see if there's anything else.
Here is someone when they hear the news.
Can't play it.
It's music.
Sorry about that.
I wish I could, but I'm just showing.
I'm trying to show.
This was a famous picture.
This was a few weeks back.
And I saw this and I thought it was so great.
When I, I don't know why, it was just like, wow, for this time.
And there she is.
So this is pretty significant today.
You'll probably see that picture floating around.
I don't know who she is.
But you can imagine.
I hear that they're taking off their face coverings and all the different hijabs, all of that.
They're dancing in the street.
This is really quite a moment.
But here's the deal: the Strait of Hormuz, it has never been fully closed in modern history.
Sees 20 million barrels of oil that flows per day, or 20% of global consumption.
It is only 21 miles wide at the narrowest point, allowing for easy control.
Closure would likely result in oil prices surging.
So this is just a cue for people in stocks on Monday at the ready.
Those prices are just going to go straight up.
The Strait of Hormuz situation.
Reuters is now reporting that Iran is notifying vessels that it is closing the Strait of Hormuz.
It officially closed 20 plus million barrels of oil per day.
It will be impacted, or 20% of the global supply.
And that's what's happening now.
The Strait of Hormuz between Oman and Iran connects to Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
This body of water controls 20% of the world's petroleum liquids consumption.
In other words, one-fifth of global oil consumption flows through here every single day.
So here's the Strait of Hormuz, and this is where it goes.
Look at that.
Wow.
After U.S. strikes on Iran last night, ships in the Strait of Hormuz are now receiving warnings.
As of 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. has recommended ships avoid the Strait of Hormuz.
In their 2025 analysis, JPMorgan described this as their worst case scenario in an Israel-Iran war.
In fact, according to JPMorgan, estimates of closure of the Strait of Hormuz could send oil prices to $120 to $130 a barrel.
This would imply a spike in U.S. CPI inflation to 5%.
The last time we saw U.S. inflation at 5% was in March 2023 when the Fed was aggressively hiking rates.
Why is this the case?
Because energy prices tie directly into CPI inflation.
According to a Fed study, every $10 rally in oil prices has the ability to increase inflation by 20 BPSs.
Oil prices are already up 15 from their recent lows, potentially adding this 30 BPS to the CPI.
Oil Passage Crisis00:02:22
Below is the breakdown of the origin, the destination of oil experts, exports through the Strait of Hormuz.
In 2024, exports of crude and they and condensate from Saudi Arabia, they accounted for 38 of total Hormuz crude that flows, 5.5 million.
Even the U.S. and EU receive oil from this passage.
So the next question is, why not take a different route?
Well, Hormuz is the only sea outlet for oil-producing countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and much of Saudi Arabia's production.
This means these countries have no other direct path other than pipelines, which are limited.
Estimates show that 6.5 to 7.5 million barrels per day of production could be rerouted through the pipelines, but this is still a 65% drop in production or a 13% of global supply.
The world is heavily reliant on seaborne crude oil transports, and Iran knows this is the case.
So that's what they're banking on.
And oil markets have already been partially pricing this in.
So the cost of shipping 2 million barrels of crude from the Middle East to China is up to $200,000 per day, the highest since the 2020 pandemic, or as we call it, the pandemic.
This marks a plus 584% increase since the first week of January.
This is why China is very concerned about this.
It is worth noting that the Strait of Hormuz, it was never fully closed in modern history.
However, as radar data shows below, oil and gas tankers are avoiding the passage now.
The U.S. has also warned vessels to stay 30 nautical miles from its military assets in the region.
So what will happen to oil prices on Sunday night when futures open?
As seen below, a large geopolitical risk.
Petroleum has already been priced into oil markets.
Geopolitical Risk Looms00:05:40
This makes the next 24 hours crucial.
Will Trump begin pushing for a new deal or continue the military pressure?
So this is what's going on.
You can see the candles here.
See what's happening.
There has arguably never been a market with more headlines than you can imagine.
I mean, this is what President Trump is doing.
He's got this going big time.
And you know, it's interesting with Venezuela and the fact that we were able to get in there and President Trump is also managing the old there.
Wow, the timing.
President Trump just doesn't just wake up one day and says, let's see, where is the wind blowing?
What am I going to do today?
There is a master plan for every single move that he makes.
This is really, really something else.
We are so fortunate to have him.
Again, the world is fortunate to have him.
Okay, well, we have been spilling non-stop.
This is going to be quite a day and more to come, I can assure you.
And my team is always so great about making sure if there are any other updates that I need to know.
They always send me a text and let me know.
So if we have breaking news, we will go back to it and I will let you know.
But this is quite a day today.
Khomeini has been killed by Israel's strike.
And so we are going to see what happens next with all of this.
It's going to be very interesting.
President Trump is keeping things very close.
But believe me, the man has got a plan.
And I just hope that we can do our part to make sure that he has the kind of control that he needs in the House, in the Senate.
We can't afford to lose.
We cannot afford to have our election stolen any longer.
You see what happened with Biden.
You saw what happened in all of these elections.
And it didn't just happen then.
It's been happening for quite some time on both sides of the aisle.
And so we've got to put a stop to it while we can, or this nation is lost.
100% lost.
We'll end up in worse shape than we started with.
You remember what they did to us the first time after we got President Trump elected, right?
We were all punished.
I mean, considered domestic terrorists, foreign agents, Russian spies, bots, you name it.
They called us every single name in the book.
And you saw how they treated January 6ers.
You saw how they treated President Trump and his administration.
They will come back tenfold.
I can guarantee you that.
We've all lived it.
We've all seen it.
It's time to start talking to your friends and neighbors, making sure that they're on board too.
This is a huge turning point in our history.
And the least that we can do, honestly, is make a phone call to Thune and really ramp up the pressure.
Like I said, I'm calling three times a day.
I'm not kidding.
Walking dogs, because I have to do two walks because I can't take three dogs.
I have to take the two little ones and then I have the other one that's a little bit bigger than I take separately, my friend's dog.
And I'm calling on both of those walks and then I'm calling first thing in the morning.
But that number again is 202-224-2321.
And just ask him to get the Save America Act passed to introduce the talking filibuster.
We need it in order to save our republic.
I mean, it's just plain and simple.
It is the number one thing that we have going for us right now.
With all the other distractions in the world, this is the biggest.
But even James Woods, he knows because he's also a Californian.
I want to just bring this up.
He put out this little number, and it's true.
And he says, when we lose the House in September, John Thune will be single-handedly responsible, but he'll still be richer than all of you.
So he just won't care.
Republicans are seriously more dangerous to America than the foul Democrats.
At least the Democrats show you how vile they are.
So please, I implore you to definitely give him a call.
All right, again, 202-224-2321.
That's my bid on that.
Personal.
Very, very personal, especially since I haven't been able to vote in an election since I've lived in California.
It truly feels that way.
And I look forward to my vote counting because all of the fraud here, they continue to count until they get their desired results.
And even if we overwhelm, it doesn't matter because of all the things that they do with the elections.
All of the people that are voting.
I mean, 1.9 were taken off the LA voter rolls.
That's just in LA and just in Los Angeles.
1.9 million.
And they've been replaced.
With an ID comes a vote.
And I can tell you from personal experience, when I have to go to the DMV for any reason, even with an appointment in Hollywood, there is a line wrapped around the building.
So I'll go to a different one.
Line wrapped around the building.
And while you're standing in line, check out the passports because they're not from here.
They're not even speaking the language.
So how they're passing the test, I have no idea.
Probably the same way as the commercial drivers.
Something Wrong With Them00:09:13
Same thing.
Standards have been dropped in order to accommodate.
Wouldn't it be nice if they cared about us this way?
They don't.
They're into importing new voters.
Okay, so we just spilled some tea and then we're going to head on into what's wrong with these people.
But I feel like we got a lot covered.
If there's anything else that happens, I'm going to pop in and let you know as well.
Okay, so we're going to move into what is wrong with these people.
Spoiler alert, plenty.
Here we go.
The wrong with these people because I'm telling you something, there's nothing that makes sense about them, but this in particular just absolutely stole the show during the State of the Union.
It was the wildest thing I have ever seen.
Okay, so if you didn't see it, lucky you, because it was bad.
It was really bad.
Total clown show.
So while Trump was delivering a masterclass at the State of the Union, Dims throw this bizarre animal house counterparty featuring literal frog costumes and screaming giraffe and a suitcase full of dildos.
Okay, what that was about is completely beyond me.
So, of course, President Trump delivered the speech of a lifetime.
It was the best speech I've ever heard.
Even some of the ones that were before my time, nothing was as good as his speech.
And I was lucky because I watch it on X.
And the cool thing about that was that I didn't hear the screaming meeting meanies in the audience because the audio and the mic was just on President Trump.
Now, I knew there was something going on, but I could, for the most part, I could only hear President Trump.
And he was so calm.
He was so focused.
He wasn't worried about them at all.
They did not accomplish anything by acting like the fools that they were acting like.
Nothing.
They really made fools out of themselves.
I mean, you've got people that are saying, even on the left, wow, that was so unnecessary.
This is still the president of the United States.
You need to be respectful.
And they were not.
So while he was delivering this incredible speech, there was another, another one going on.
All right.
And it was wild.
You had President Trump discussing policy, the state of the swamp, the counter event that was hosted by anti-Trump group called defiance.org.
They descended into a literal animal house scenario.
So the optics weren't just bad.
They were humiliating.
I looked at this and I was like, even a first grade play would be cute.
This was not only weird, cringe, but gross.
So the optics were horrible.
The event was hosted by this anti-Trump group.
You had Robert De Niro, the actor who seems unable to speak without veering into a scripted rage, called the president a lunatic and claimed that the country is imploding.
The media gaslighters, Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, Don Lamon, no, he's a lemon, and Mady Hayson, they were all in attendance, presumably to console each other over their plummeting relevance.
Cannot talk today.
It's from being up all night.
I know that's it.
You had the Law Fair Brigade, George Conway.
Ugh, remember Kellyanne Conway's husband?
Quite a deal.
And Glenn Kirshner, who showed up to continue their endless failed predictions of the president's imminent demise.
According to The Guardian, the seating area was filled with green frog-themed swag, which is so bizarre.
The display was a tribute to the so-called Portland Frog Brigade.
This is a group that wore inflatable frog costumes during last year's demonstrations against federal immigration agents.
So you can see them.
They were dancing at, they were liberal activists that were dressed up as these frogs, the state of the swamp protest.
Okay, now what do we have next?
Oh, gosh.
Some waiting music.
Let's get the cues going.
Let's get all the people into the streams.
Okay, I'm going to.
Here are the frogs.
This is what they had going on.
It's embarrassing.
What is this all about?
I mean, how did they think that this was going to translate?
And look at the hats.
These frog hats in the audience.
So this is what was going on.
Off the press is who had the video clip of it.
This was the comp to President Trump and his State of the Union.
Police.
Like I said, Democrats, keep destroying yourselves.
I mean, really.
So then you had the Oregon Representative Maureen Dexter, who actually took the stage with the dancing frogs behind her.
She says, I'm a mother.
I'm a physician, and I have a flag.
I am a proud representative for Oregon's third congressional district, and tonight I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.
Yeah.
Well, the entertainment didn't stop with the frogs.
The left reached into the bottom of the barrel to bring out Louis Robert Potillo, I guess.
And this is a performance artist known as Robbie Roadsteamer.
Now, he has built a career out of being detained by ICE during an unhinged protest in Portland and in Minnesota.
He took to the stage in a giraffe costume while bragging about his arrest.
It was the wildest thing.
Even the political commentator, Jojo from Jurz, said additional commentary from inside the venue recounting an interaction backstage.
She says, Hi, guys.
I walked into the area back there and I was on the phone with my 16-year-old son, and there was a suitcase full of dildos.
And I was like, What kind of party is this exactly?
This is the thing.
I mean, if the Republicans would let them, the Democrats would completely destroy themselves.
They really, really would.
It is the wildest thing.
And I played that giraffe clip for you all because it was so bizarre on, I think it was Thursday.
But, or no, it had to have been Wednesday.
So, yeah, whatever.
These people are completely unhinged.
So, when we say that there's something wrong with them, there's something really, really wrong with them.
It was the most bizarre thing that I have ever witnessed.
But anyway, this is the left.
The party of love.
No, there's nothing lovey about them.
I can promise you that.
There's nothing that I would want to be a party to, in fact.
So, if you want to see, okay, I'm looking for it for you.
You want to see the giraffe?
Just so I can prove a point on how horrible it actually is.
Let me see.
Well, I just had it.
Let me see.
Where is this thing?
I'll find it for you.
One sec.
Let me see here.
Here it is.
Okay, this is wild.
All right.
Here's the giraffe clip.
All right, let me grab it.
Okay.
Here it is.
All right.
This is this bizarre rant this giraffe did.
Fox News literally spent all their prime time last night on this giraffe at the counter state of the union.
Check out this clip.
Fresh out of an ice prison in Minneapolis.
I've been arrested three times by ICE over absurdity.
Over us being ourselves.
Over me singing songs like, Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, get rid of brown people for me.
I'm Arian White.
There ain't no place I'm going to.
Is that a that's just the craziest, freakiest thing I've ever seen.
State Of The Swamp00:15:05
This was President Trump's competition.
Okay.
Weird.
They're definitely not okay.
And this guy, this crazy giraffe, whoever this person was, I mean, he had on a thong on top of his giraffe uniform.
This is this clown, the state of the swamp.
And yet they are right there in the swampland with all of these people.
I mean, look at what has happened with the left.
Look at what you've learned over the last couple of years.
Look at what you've lived through.
It's insane.
But this is what they have now.
So good on them.
This is their representatives.
All right, so we're going to head on in to the Trump victories.
This is our victory vault and all the different things that President Trump accomplished this week, which was plenty, even with all this other stuff going on.
let's get started with that.
President Trump wins gold.
Yes, he did.
It's incredible.
Here was what you had on the front page of the New York Post.
Trump wins gold.
His winning economic message in the State of the Union, honors team, USA hockey and raft of heroes, shames dims for their crazy policy stances.
He was perfect.
He's absolutely perfect in that.
He did not let them bother him.
He stole the show.
He did not have any distractions that anybody cared to watch or to listen to.
The only reason why I knew about them is because I could barely hear them.
But the clips the next day where people had a better look at them, just acting like idiots.
But that was the only reason I focused the whole time on what he was saying.
And I thought he was so good.
There was not a dull moment.
I didn't feel like, oh, State of the Union, I've got to turn this thing off, Snooze Fest.
It was very entertaining.
It was packed with information, great stories of heroes and great stories of people that have been hurt and the reason why he's doing what he's doing.
So anybody that was able to watch that speech, if you weren't, make sure that you do.
You'll really enjoy it.
And so we have President Trump.
Trump points to Democrats in the chamber and calls them out.
He says, these people are crazy.
It's the perfect response because they are.
And he actually gained support during the State of the Union speech in these reports.
6436.
Right direction.
This is what, this is a CNN poll, which is fantastic.
The right direction, 64%.
Wrong direction, 36%.
So it moved to the right, and that's good.
And here he is.
CNN had to report that 64% said that we're headed right, which is great, especially right here before midterms.
I mean, these are the kind of things that you want to see.
So we've got this here that the White House put out.
64% of speech watchers say President Trump policies will move the country in the right direction.
CNN.
This is just lovely.
I mean, this is our Super Bowl, so to speak, because we've been waiting for this.
They're the first to always say, oh, President Trump is losing support.
Nope, only getting bigger.
January inflation report, year over year, his economic wins.
You have overall inflation at 2.4%.
And this is fuel, oil prices, 4.2%.
Gas prices, 7.5%.
Wages are up 1.25%.
So down on fuel prices.
Now, this is before what happened last night.
We'll see what happens with all of that.
Gas prices are down 7.5%.
Wages are up 1.2.
Overall inflation is at 2.4.
And then you have the jobs report, another lovely here, because President Trump is just winning on, that's one of his biggest things.
He wants the state of the union to be strong.
You heard that echoed throughout the night.
And on the job report, here it is.
130,000 jobs were added.
Unemployment is down 4.3%.
So this is great news, especially heading into midterms.
He knows all of this matters.
And it does.
I'll tell you, it really does because these Democrats are, historically, it's supposed to go to the other party.
Isn't that interesting that anybody would even say that?
Historically, it's supposed to, you know, it's a trade-off.
Why?
Because you plan for it to be.
I can't imagine ever voting for a Democrat based on what their policies are.
All right, so we are going to head in to our question of the day.
I want to go ahead and remind you what that was.
Hopefully you all were able to drop your answers in here.
I've got a couple in here.
So here it is.
The question is, have President Trump's immigration policies made your community safer?
And that is a good one to ask because it certainly has in LA, as much as they try for it not to.
But that's the question.
And here are some of your responses.
I want to just get our music back up here.
It's always more fun to have you on the screen and to have music on.
Let me get both of those things.
Here we are.
Okay.
We have Deborah Milan 6, and she's got a dancing cat, which I will take.
Oh, yes, it says.
We have at Zeta underscore Alicia, who says, absolutely, 100%, we voted for this mass deportation and deport them all.
At Unbounded Life 1 says, yes, keep out and deport the dangerous gang members from our areas.
At G Susie63, I'm not sure.
I did hear ICE was near me a few weeks ago, but I didn't read anything on X, like a lot of arrests.
At Lucco Teresa, she says, I would say yes at Proudly Deplorable.
Well, he's not at Proudly Deplorable here, he's at Proudly Deplorable Untruth.
I get him mixed up.
But at Rob Plegram Sr., you know him.
He's the one that handles and does our top 10 and our monologue.
Just incredible writer.
He says, Absolutely, yes.
During the horrible Biden years, criminal illegal aliens were terrorizing Americans with bold arrogance.
That has changed.
Keep going, President Trump.
At my big block, FE1 says, Can't tell, but my governor sent a plane load to Martha's Vineyard.
I bet the check, I bet they check every flight log now.
Saying he bets that they do because you remember what happened when they sent illegals to Martha's Vineyard.
Oh my gosh, not only did they give them, they fed them generic cereal, so generic cocoa puffs and generic rice krispies, but they made sure that they kept them in a holding area and then got them out of there as soon as possible.
I mean, I don't even think they were there eight hours, probably three.
It wasn't going to happen there.
At CASC, hey, CASC, I see you in chat.
1776 says, Yes, my community is safer, but here in Southern California, housing, rents, and fuel are still extremely high.
Tell me about it.
I didn't know you were Southern California, Cask.
I had no idea.
If rents, fuel, and food prices would lower, I could stay here.
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be moving within the next four months.
I know.
A lot of people feel like you.
It's so sad because you've built a life here and a lot of people don't feel like they have a choice.
Fleet Admiral says yes, and that's at Mighty Mouse 200.
At JJ RSVL says, My community and the conservative enclave of Placer County doesn't have the issues of the big cities in NorCal.
This is my personal experience, but it is evident that other cities are seeing improvement.
At Arkin John 68 says, no, illegals are still everywhere because the government won't do what is necessary to fix the problem.
Heck, it's like they really don't care sometimes.
At Kristen Kiefer, it says, I'm about an hour away from San Diego.
So, yes, I'm feeling much safer just due to the closed border.
Yay!
There are a lot of Californians in my feed.
This is great.
Hey, neighbors, love that.
Tammy North, and that is Tammy North239.
I live in Fort Myers, Florida.
It's a very red area.
We do have illegals here.
We moved here in 2016 from Michigan and were shocked at the number of hit and runs, serious ones causing death.
Illegals.
Exactly.
They don't know how to drive.
They can't read the signs.
This is what's been happening.
And the problem is they'll get a license in California or someplace like that.
And then they'll drive into another state.
So everybody's at risk.
I mean, really.
You have at RStack29 who says, I believe so.
The last administration let anyone and everyone in.
We have no idea who they are.
And illegal aliens must be removed.
At Terry Vander STE2 says, I live in southern Illinois in a very red area.
So we don't have any illegals in my area.
I hope President Trump can do something about our out-of-control governor, though.
I know.
I have an out-of-control governor, and hopefully, I will be able to not have another one.
Or at least we won't have, as Katrick calls him, spy fart.
That would be, you know what?
That would be good.
Let's not do that, okay?
Can you imagine Eric Swalwell?
You remember Fang Fang and the fact that he was sleeping with a Chinese spy, which is a thing here in California, apparently.
I mean, you had Diane Feinstein, her driver, was a Chinese spy for over 20 years.
Do you think she knew?
I would think she probably had some kind of arrangement.
You know about Mitch McConnell and his wife.
Yeah, but you can see the presence of China very much in California now.
It's a very sad situation.
They are buying homes, they're buying properties, they're buying businesses even.
So you have an overwhelming.
Sorry, I'm moving on over to YouTube.
And it always does that.
It always just plays an ad.
I'm sorry.
Okay, so same question.
I've got Gene Turner, 5130, who says, you betcha.
I want more, please.
And thank you.
At Brian, Colarusso says, absolutely, 100%.
At David Nugent, 6815, yes.
At Booth Rue 22, who says, yes, we have had a large dogfighting ring, which is now gone.
Plus, lots of traffic accidents, which have also gone down.
Jobs are opening up, especially in construction and landscaping for our young citizens.
See, positives.
I know.
Traffic in LA has gone down too.
I will say that.
I have noticed that.
At Lisa, Lisa's Sin.
All right, so L-I-S-A, S-R-S-E-N, 5609.
She says, yes, the best ever.
At Jenny Kirshner, 4887 says, I believe so.
Every community would be safer.
Tony H101 says yes.
Evil War Woman says, not yet, Wisconsin.
Denise Greco, 3551, yes, especially since I live in Florida where our law enforcement agencies cooperate with ICE.
At Skinny Biker, says, I believe so.
I haven't seen as many overloaded, stuffed with people in vehicles driving around town.
Some neighbors were subrenting their garage to many families.
Not anymore.
And then Nancy, 9954, I'm in Tampa area, Florida, and I believe it to be a yes.
God bless America and God bless President Trump.
At SG-CM1KB, too soon to tell.
ICE just showed up a few weeks ago in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
I know I messed that up.
Allegheny County.
And so she said, we will see.
Carolyn Food Forest 355 says, I'm in a small community here in North Florida.
I never saw illegal aliens here and have never, and still haven't seen them.
So no, this is a rural community of small farms and homesteads.
We rarely get new people here.
Interesting.
Yeah, depending on, that's why I asked to please tell me where you are because it does make a difference.
I mean, LA, you can tell, but in other places, you probably won't notice it if you didn't have a problem to begin with.
All right, here it is.
We're on Truth Now.
And again, the question is, has President Trump immigration policies made your community safer?
And we have said 76, Alaska.
I live in Alaska.
ICE has been around the bigger towns.
I'm in a small town and feel very safe.
Thanks, Jules.
Love your Saturday shows.
Thank you.
I'm so glad you watch them.
That's awesome.
We have Gypsy I-N-Y, who says, not in my state.
It's super blue, and I can't wait to get out of here.
I know the feeling.
A lot of people are feeling that way.
We see these like Freedom Florida and you're like, oh, here we are.
At Sable07, no, that's not her handle.
I'm sorry.
Her handle is at K Cara A N T O N I S.
She says, not here in Massachusetts, a true blue state.
See, that's the problem.
That is the problem.
Because if you're in a blue state, you don't see it as much.
You kind of have to look for it.
I mean, our crime is so bad.
I've told you this since the beginning, that I have a little text list where I text my girlfriends and I'm like, hey, do anybody want to go to the store?
It's getting a little dark outside.
You know, we're losing light.
I don't want to walk by myself.
Huge Thank Out00:04:44
And somebody always volunteers to go, even if they don't pick up something.
They're like, yeah.
But you have to do that here in the city.
You don't have any other choice.
Let me see if there's any other comments.
Let's see.
I don't want to miss anybody, especially because there weren't a lot with all this stuff going on.
I didn't think so.
All right.
So we do.
We have one over in Getter.
So I'm going to read it.
This is Tootbug47 and at T-O-O-T-E-B-U-G 47.
Securing our border is an absolute must.
Everyone can see with their own eyes what happened during the O-Biden regime.
President Trump is doing everything he humanely can, humanly can, to deport all of the illegals that came through and support our border.
Our border is now safe.
However, if we will not have the safety we once had until they are all deported, President Trump has a friend that is helping him.
It is only with that friend's help will he be able to accomplish everything that's necessary.
Trump's friend is always victorious.
Nothing can stand in his way.
His name is Jehovah Nissi.
He is the great.
I am.
So between that and, of course, you know, our savior, looking over President Trump, I truly believe there was our good Lord and Savior and an intervention there, three attempts on his life that we know of.
Think about that.
I mean, I'm sorry.
This is something way bigger than us.
That's what I truly believe.
But wow.
Well, I want to thank you all for being here today.
We've had a great time.
There's so much news.
I mean, of course, we have all of this that happens last night.
But I just wanted to say that I could not do this without my incredible, amazing, wonderful team that helped me every single week.
And they don't just help me just on this show, they help me in the litter box as well.
And I cannot thank them enough for all of their support.
Truly, it takes a team to get this stuff done.
So a massive shout out to all of those that do it.
I mean, an endless appreciation to the brilliant Patriot Pinzi for all of her insightful articles and meticulous research.
A huge thank you to the storytelling maestro at Rob Pleighram Sr.
That's who he is on X for delivering captivating monologues and curating the week's top news stories with unmatched precision.
And a special thanks to Fleet Admiral James for enriching every aspect of our work with his incredible contributions.
By the way, he is doing so well.
He is back on the kidney transplant list and he is recovering from his surgery.
And so we keep him in the very top of your prayers.
Fleet Admiral is amazing and truly deserves the very best that life has to offer.
He is truly one of my dearest friends.
We have gone through so much.
And we met when we were attacked by Hillary Clinton.
There's the irony because we were on that list that, you know, of attack these Trump supporters.
I mean, gosh, you didn't have to say anything other than he's a better candidate.
And then boom, you're on a list.
Okay, whatever.
A huge thank you to MegaVolts007 for the game-changing ideas and relentless efforts that keep us moving forward.
And of course, a standing ovation to our incredible moderators who keep and create a self-welcoming space, a safe welcoming space for us to connect, share, and spill the tea.
We are beyond grateful for everything that you all do, truly.
I mean, we have got so many trolls that will come crashing, and you guys are awesome.
And thanks for getting the word out and all the articles out.
Speaking of that, just so you know, Fleet always drops the articles on my truth page.
And so if ever there's an article that I refer to, if you want to check it out, that's where he pops some of it over there for me so that you all have a copy of the show and the outline.
He does it right before the show.
So you can always cheat if you want to to see what we're going to talk about.
That's just for you to have and to know.
I also want to give a big shout out to Nick Twit and Link London for generously sharing beautiful music that you've heard.
A lot of the different segments have the beautiful music from, of course, Link London's mom and dad and Bobby Troop and Julie London.
And I just appreciate it more than you can imagine.
Thank You for Writing Along00:03:32
Hopefully we'll be able to get Lemon Twist back.
I'm still working on that.
I know when I do it, it's going to be huge, huge, as President Trump say.
Okay, wow.
Friends, take a deep breath for a second.
We just walked through decades of jaw-dropping scandals, billions vanishing into fake Medicaid claims and ghost patients, kickback rings, card skimming, gangstraining snap accounts, fake meal programs that never fed a single child, and insider after insider treating taxpayer dollars like their personal ATM.
From the Columbia HCA $1.7 billion fraud bomb in the 90s to the 14.6 billion health care takedown, charges just last a year to the Minnesota mess where billions in autism and housing funds may have been siphoned while vulnerable kids waited in line.
It's not a few bad apples.
It's a whole rotten orchard that's been growing unchecked for way too long.
Every dollar stolen isn't just a number on a spreadsheet.
It's a hospital bed that stays empty, a family that goes without groceries, a senior who can't get the medicine they need, a child who misses out on real help, all because someone decided the system was theirs to plunder.
But here's the part that gives me hope and honestly gives me chills in the best way.
For the first time in a long time, we have a president and a vice president who aren't just talking tough.
They declared war.
President Trump called it out in the State of the Union, handed the reins to JD Vance and said, enough is enough.
We're not playing defense anymore.
We're going on offense, pausing questionable payments, launching dedicated fraud divisions, a DOJ, digging into the data with Treasury, teaming up with CMS to slam the door on the worst abusers and promising real prosecutions that actually put people behind bars.
This isn't about politics as usual.
It's about finally choosing taxpayers over grifters.
It's about making sure every cent meant for hardworking families, for the elderly, for kids in need actually reaches them instead of disappearing into someone's offshore account.
So yeah, the history is ugly.
The numbers are staggering, but the future, the future looks like accountability.
It looks like consequences.
It looks like Americans finally getting their money's worth.
That's what this crusade against corruption is all about.
We're not stopping here.
We're just getting started.
So thank you for writing along with me today on a political rendezvous.
If this fires you up the way it fired me up, hit that like button, share it with someone who needs to hear it, drop a comment, let me know what scandal shocked you the most, or what you want us to tackle next.
I read every single one.
So until next Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time, stay vigilant, stay loud, and remember your money, your voice, your country.
We're taking it back one fraudster at a time.
This is Jules Jones signing off.
Love you.
In the meantime, be safe, be kind to one another, and we'll see you later.
