Walz Grilled on the Hill and More Questions About Ukraine “Aid” LIVE Coverage | Triggered Ep.322
Triggered Ep.322 dissects Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s $9B Medicaid fraud scandal—ignoring 30 whistleblower warnings—while exposing Ukraine’s $100B unaccounted aid under Zelensky, despite his $7B budget gap. The episode contrasts decisive U.S. strikes on Iran’s navy with Biden-era inaction, celebrates a Supreme Court win blocking California’s secret gender-transition policies, and slams Wikipedia’s whitewashing of Ayatollah Khomeini. It ties election fraud risks to Democratic resistance to voter ID laws, framing primaries as the last line against radicalism. [Automatically generated summary]
Hey guys, and welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
I hope you're all having an awesome Thursday.
So much to get into.
Great to be with you guys live in studio.
Love doing that.
Probably take some questions later on, but Tim Waltz just got absolutely destroyed at a congressional hearing on the biggest fraud scandal in the history of Minnesota.
And speaking of fraud, we're also getting into Ukraine and the questions Zelensky needs to answer about where billions of your money, your taxpayer dollars, actually went.
And now Zelensky is saying American military action is taking away from what Ukraine needs to fight Russia.
Because, you know, obviously Ukraine's interests should take precedence over ours.
Plus, the Supreme Court just handed parents a massive win against California's secret gender transition policy.
So guys, buckle up.

U.S. Strikes on Iranian Ships00:05:22
And now with that, guys, let's get into all of the top headlines.
And we'll start with the latest developments in the Middle East.
CENTCOM has confirmed the U.S. military has struck and sunk over 20 Iranian ships, including a submarine.
Nearly 2,000 targets hit, and their naval capacity has been, quote, effectively neutralized.
The world's largest state sponsor of terrorism and a key ally of China, that's the part that everyone does seem to be missing, has been completely decimated.
Now, we also have to take a moment here because as good as those wins are, six American soldiers gave their lives in this operation.
In a drone attack on command center in Kuwait, the Pentagon has now identified all six of these heroes.
They are heroes.
These are people who volunteered to protect this country and we honor them.
And we pray for their families.
That's the cost, unfortunately, of keeping Americans safe at times.
And it's a cost that we can never take lightly.
And like I said on Monday, I understand not wanting to get dragged into an endless conflict.
I understand, unfortunately, the costs.
But we do have a commander-in-chief who has shown time and time again that the ability to make the right decision is what differentiates him from the rest, the tough decisions in the moments that matter the most.
Here's more about all of this and what's going on directly from the Department of War.
In the Indian Ocean, and we'll play it on screen there, an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.
Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.
Quiet death.
The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.
That one's pretty amazing.
I mean, an enemy ship hasn't been sunk by a torpedo since World War II, but I guess the conflicts that we've been in, people didn't really have navies for a long time.
So they're getting it done.
But the message from Secretary Hegseth was clear, confident, no apologies.
Compare that to what we had before under Lloyd Austin, who would literally just take days off without anyone knowing where he was.
He'd wear a mask and then the face shield while going to China.
Not exactly a way to intimidate our enemies.
Not the best imagery.
I mean, honestly, Pete Hexes is everything that we were told Jim Mattis would be.
And we're doing the same thing right here in our own hemisphere.
Today, down in Durrell, Florida, top Trump officials hosted the inaugural America's Counter-Cartel Conference.
And we are rallying our allies across Latin America to go on the offense against the drug cartels.
The cartels have to be stopped.
Enough is enough.
That's real American lives.
Every year, 100,000 of them.
And it's totally avoidable if we push back and we work together and we show the resolve my father has been showing.
This conference brought together defense and security leaders from over a dozen countries.
And it comes just days after U.S. and Ecuadorian forces launched joint operations against cartel networks in Ecuador.
Six tons of cocaine seized, 16 suspects arrested, dismantling the Los Lobos cartels' international trafficking pipeline.
Remember, on day one, my father designated these cartels as terrorist organizations, which is exactly what they are.
They are terrorist organizations.
He's treated them as they should be treated.
And now, a little over a year later, we've got a coalition of nations standing shoulder to shoulder to fight back.
Here's Stephen Miller with some very sharp words earlier today.
Cede an inch of territory in this hemisphere to our enemies or our adversaries.
Our national security, our homeland security, the safety and well-being of our people begins at home, begins in our neighborhood, begins in our home region.
And for too long, we have allowed foreign enemies, foreign adversaries, and enemy terrorist organizations to control territory and spaces in this hemisphere where they can project power, project threats, and directly threaten the lives of your citizens and our citizens.
And so under the leadership of President Trump, we are using hard power, military power, lethal force to protect and defend the American homeland.
Not a single one of your nations should tolerate the existence of a single square mile of territory that is under the control of any entity other than the sovereign governments of your country.
This is what American leadership looks like.
You don't just ask nicely.
You build a coalition.
You bring the firepower.
And you make it clear that the era of looking the other way while cartels poison our communities is over.
Operation Epic Fury Update00:05:40
But while American forces are out there eliminating a nuclear threat, while our military is performing at an incredible level against cartels, what are the Democrats doing, you may ask?
As usual, guys, they're having a meltdown.
Let's start with Pocahontas herself, Elizabeth Warren, you know, Foca Hannis, really, who came out of a classified briefing, a classified briefing, mind you, okay, and immediately ran to the cameras to say, it is so much worse than you thought.
Because of course it is.
Of course, that's what she would say.
And of course, the media will run with that, not actual facts and stats.
But remember, if it were up to Democrats, they'd still be sending over more pallets of cash to Iran.
And that's not an exaggeration.
That literally happened.
It happened under Obama and it happened under Biden.
Not a resolution, not negotiations, not strength.
They sent them cash.
And over on CNN, they're asking the really tough questions, such as: even if Iran had nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, does that qualify it as an imminent threat?
Really?
Really?
If Iran, death to America, death to Israel, death to everyone we don't like, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, if they had nuclear capabilities with ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, do you think a lunatic regime that's killed, I believe, 80,000 of their own people in the last little time, you think they wouldn't use them on America?
Watch this CNN panel for yourself.
This was not at all on our region and our allies in the region.
Okay, so it is not.
What about that is not industry?
What about that is new?
What do you mean, what about it?
It's not new other than to say that.
What about that is new?
Other than to say that the decision.
Yes, let me put it to put it another way.
What about that is imminent?
Are you all arguing that they are not prepared and are not currently firing missiles and drones?
No.
Actually, it's not that.
I mean, everybody understands the threat of Iran.
It's been there, to quote Tom Cotton, for 47 years.
The question is, what changed in the last 30 days?
What changed in the last 30 days?
Now, the Democrats had eight years under Obama and four years under Joe Biden to deal with Iran's nuclear program.
You know what they did?
They gave them $150 billion.
$150 billion.
Not million, which would be too much.
A thousand times that.
$150 billion.
They shipped pallets of cash, literal pallets of cash, just cash on crates On a plane in the middle of the night, they signed a deal that guaranteed Iran would eventually get nuclear weapons.
And now, now they want to lecture us about strategy.
Imagine sending $150 billion to the world's leading state sponsor of terror.
I think they said something about, well, no, no, no, it's earmarked for certain goods like food.
Well, guess what that means?
That means the money that was earmarked for food before can now be earmarked for weapons.
So even if it did go towards food, you freed up a whole bunch of money that was going to get spent on food to be free for weapons because money is fungible.
They don't understand this.
They've been talking about it for years because they're imbeciles.
That's their strategy.
Here's Caroline Levitt firing back at CNN during yesterday's briefing.
Of this administration, that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?
No, it's the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room.
If the Iranian regime had their choice, they would kill every single person in this room.
And so we can all be very grateful that we have an administration and that we have men and women in our armed forces who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the rest of us in this room and for every American across the country and for every troop that is based in the Middle East.
That's what these...
But Secretary Hexat was complaining that it was front page news about these six service members who were killed.
That's not what the secretary said, Caitlin, and that's not what the secretary meant.
And you know it.
You know you are being disingenuous.
There is not, we've never had a Secretary of Defense who cares more.
Tragic things happen.
It's front page news.
I get it.
The press only wants to make the president look bad.
As you know, we can press the deaths of U.S. service members under every president.
The press does only want to make the president look bad.
That's a fact.
Especially you.
Listen to me.
Especially you and especially CNN.
And the Secretary of Defense cares deeply about our warfighters and our men and women in uniform.
He travels all across this country to meet with them, to connect with them.
And your network has hardly ever probably reported on that.
You also had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chairman Kane, who's a brave patriot, standing alongside the Secretary at the Pentagon this morning, again expressing his condolences to these families.
And I just told you that the President of the United States will be attending their dignified transfer.
So please.
So please.
It's not making the president look bad.
So showcasing that.
We expect you to cover that as you should.
We expect you to cover that as you should, Caitlin.
But you and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad.
Fraudsters And Oversight Failures00:14:52
Crazy.
$150 billion.
EdN Can 16 says, and we wonder why we're $38 trillion in debt because that's Democrat policy.
That's what they do.
But Democrats aren't stopping their guys because they're finding a new criminal to cozy up with.
And his name, Nicholas Maduro.
Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman, who has amplified pretty much every single media hoax out there.
Well, he's now reportedly requesting access to a Brooklyn penitentiary to visit Maduro.
Maybe, I don't know, sip on some margaritas together.
Maybe to have some arpas.
Maybe to discuss their, you know, common ground in hating ICE and America, in being against deportations, in being pro-drug boat, in pro-narco-terror state, you know, I don't know, in hating all things Trump.
But we don't know because he won't exactly say why.
But again, remember, Goldman was the same person who called on the NYPD to arrest ICE agents for doing their jobs.
He actively takes the side of criminals on a daily basis.
And now, I guess he wants to spend some time with one of the world's worst narco-trafficker criminals and fraudsters in all of history.
And speaking of fraudsters, yesterday in Congress, Tim Waltz, the governor of Minnesota, the guy that Kamala Harris picked to be her running mate, to possibly be the vice president of the United States, just got excoriated before the House Oversight Committee, and it was brutal.
Federal prosecutors now estimate that as much as $9 billion, $9 billion was stolen from just 14 Medicaid programs administered by the state of Minnesota.
$9 billion from 14 programs?
$9 billion?
$9 billion of your taxpayer dollars?
And again, to the comment earlier, maybe now we know why we're $38 trillion in debt.
Because, you know, it's like Oprah: $9 billion for you, $9 billion for you.
That's just in Minnesota from 14 centers.
Imagine how many of these kinds of programs there are all over the country.
At the center of it all, a fraud operation called Feeding Our Future, which was supposed to be a child nutrition program that ballooned from around, you know, $300,000 in 2018 to nearly $200 million in 2021.
That's some serious growth, guys.
That's some serious, serious growth.
That's like in the business world, almost impossible.
Think about that.
From 300 grand to $200 million in three years.
And nobody noticed?
Nobody raised a red flag?
Well, actually, people did.
People raised a lot of red flags.
The Oversight Committee has spoken with over 30 whistleblowers, many of them current state employees and many of them Democrats, who say they were ignored, they were retaliated against, and even surveilled for raising concerns.
Chairman Comer said Waltz, quote, presided over one of the most extensive breakdowns of oversight this committee has ever examined.
Watch for yourself.
State employees tried to stop this.
They were silenced and retaliated against for even daring to notice the fraud.
We have spoken with over 30 whistleblowers, many of them current employees and Democrats, who say they were ignored, retaliated against, and even surveilled for raising concerns.
Instead of protecting the whistleblowers, the Wallace administration protected the system that enabled the fraud.
We are taking oversight of fraud seriously.
And today, I hope the Democrats will do the same.
But their track record is not promising.
We followed up with the whistleblowers when state leaders ignored them.
Republican staff spent 36 hours and 46 minutes in nine transcribed interviews with current and former Minnesota state officials.
Democrats, however, only asked three hours and 14 minutes worth of questions.
That's inexcusable and frankly embarrassing.
Taxpayers deserve better.
And then, guys, Jim Jordan got his turn, and he absolutely dismantled Waltz on the Feeding Our Futures payments because Waltz has been hiding behind a claim that a judge ordered the state to resume payments to this fraudulent operation.
Jordan read directly from the judge's actual statement and showed that the judge never issued an order requiring the Minnesota Department of Education to resume payments.
Waltz was just making it up, probably partaking in it.
I'm sure these people were funding his campaigns.
Wasn't going to make fraudsters unhappy if they vote for him.
He was using a judge as a shield to cover for his own failure.
Check it out.
This is the court speaking.
First sentence, first seven words.
Due to inaccurate statements by the governor, Ramsey County District Court judge has issued and authorized that this following news released.
That's pretty straightforward.
So the court's lying?
I can't tell you, Congressman, but the interpretation.
Somebody's lying.
Somebody's lying because you can't say the court ordered you to restart the payments and then the court says we didn't order you to restart the payments.
So either you're lying or the court's lying.
And I'm just asking you, which one is it?
I just simply know what the attorneys at the agency believe that it was a misinterpretation.
And I would note that those things.
Do you mean you were trying to hide behind the court, Governor?
Could that maybe be the reason why you issued the statements you did and why the court had to do something you never see done before?
They issue a press statement saying you're wrong.
The governor is wrong.
His statement is, their words are not mine, false.
And then Byron Donalds, congressman from Florida, running for governor, who was literally just on the show, I think Monday, he asked the simple question that everyone at home was thinking: How does Feeding Our Future go from $377,000 to $199 million in three years?
How does nobody in the state government see that and say, hold on a second, that seems like incredibly unusual?
Check them out.
Again, there are accusations that she was intimidating whistleblowers.
There was a meeting on April 12th of 2024 where she went on stage and publicly denounced whistleblowers in the state of Minnesota, calling them losers in their mother's basements.
Is this the type of treatment that your administration allows for whistleblowers in Minnesota?
I'm not familiar.
Are you aware of any intimidation of whistleblowers in the state of Minnesota?
There are 30 whistleblowers who have given letters to this committee on the record saying that they have witnessed they have been subject to intimidation by your administration because they were trying to stop the fraud in Minnesota.
I encourage them to go to the OLA and the independent sources in Minnesota that are the OLA, you're the governor.
No, the OLA is the independent sources.
Sir, you're the governor.
Why don't you take responsibility for what's going on in your state?
We do take responsibility.
None of those people, I'm telling you, I have no idea.
But she lost billions of dollars of American taxpayer money.
You know what Waltz's other response and defense was?
Get this, guys.
He tried to blame the Trump administration's immigration crackdown for hampered fraud investigations.
I'm not even kidding.
The guy who presided over $9 billion in stolen taxpayer funds tried to blame Trump and border security?
Border security?
It was the lack of border security that allowed Somali fraudsters to come in here to begin with.
It's wild.
Blame Trump and border security?
Which, in a sense, I guess is sort of true again.
Since Democrats used open borders to create these fraud schemes, they opened the border.
They allowed the fraudsters in.
They were warned they had whistleblowers and they ignored it.
But just think about it, guys.
Waltz, the guy who was almost the vice president of the United States, this is the guy the Democrat Party trusted to be one heartbeat from the commander-in-chief, a man who sat while billions were stolen from programs meant to feed children.
Remember, these are programs meant to feed children.
If Republicans did this, children were starving because of this.
No, but the money got funneled to the Somali population who voted for the Democrats, who sent it to Somalia, al-Shabaab terror groups, who, you know, probably kicked some of it back to, you know, Democrats through NGOs and other things, pumped their election schemes, which is why they always seem to outrage everyone by five to one in every race, even in Republican states.
And then, when whistleblowers tried to sound the alarm, he had them surveilled and silenced.
A little different than when there was a whistleblower against Trump, even when it turns out to be total BS.
They were beyond reproach.
They could do no wrong.
And the media guys, they barely covered it.
Why?
Pretty simple.
Because it's a Democrat operation in a Democrat state with a powerful Democrat governor who was almost the Democrat vice president of the United States.
Therefore, we must go out of our way.
The American public should be willing to sacrifice $9 billion, and that's just one little program.
$9 billion to keep Democrats in power.
And by the way, speaking of where did the money go, let's shift gears for a second to something that I've been talking about for a long, long time.
And maybe it can finally get the attention it deserves.
Because Vladimir Zelensky is now warning that as the U.S. military deploys assets elsewhere, that leaves less aid available for Ukraine.
That's an incredible thing to say, folks.
Because, I mean, heaven forbid we do something that's in our interest that isn't completely centered around him and his country and his problem.
Now, Lord Zelensky told British media he wanted to make it clear that he wasn't complaining.
Doesn't sound like it, but we've seen this sort of thing before because it's just never enough.
It's never enough.
They want more.
They need more.
Doing a great job fighting.
If it wasn't for America, this thing would have been over a long time ago and probably a lot of lives would have been saved.
Minor details.
We saw it with our own eyes in the Oval Office with my father and JD Vance.
Ukraine and Zelensky have gotten literally hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. aid.
And it's not good enough.
They want more.
I've told you the stories.
We've heard about it.
We see the fraud.
The cabinet, his friends, his mom, this.
The stories I've heard, apparently, bomb's getting $150 million house in Monte Carlo.
I told you when I was in Monte Carlo this last summer, felt like every other supercar had Ukrainian plates on it.
Probably not earned.
I mean, well, it's not exactly a rich country until we started giving them hundreds of billions of dollars.
You know, they took a little bit of it.
Just again.
Just a couple billion, like probably half of it.
Like, you know, they took $125 billion of $250 that we spent.
You know, just a couple hundred billion.
What's a couple hundred billion between friends?
Now, look, beyond where you stand on the debate and strategy of helping Ukraine fight Russia, what I am here to ask is this.
Where did all the money go?
Because here's what we know.
Zelensky himself has said he only received $75 billion of the $175 billion the United States spent on Ukraine.
And that's a $100 billion gap, guys.
$100 billion.
Where is it?
Now, some say it was spent in the U.S. on weapons, on manufacturing, logistics, administration.
Okay, fine.
Like, I don't know that we need to spend $100 billion on logistics, but fine.
But has anyone actually audited that?
Has anyone put pen to paper?
Have they opened up their books?
I don't think so.
Is that actually a fact?
Or is it just speculation to try and make any investigations go away?
Because back in 2022, money was dished out non-stop without basically any oversight.
For example, Ukraine's new defense minister is pushing for a review of the defense ministry's finances following a $7 billion budget gap.
This is in Ukraine, their own guy.
In Washington, Senator Josh Hawley and others are pushing legislation requiring a full audit of every dollar, which, by the way, why aren't we doing anyway?
Why aren't we already doing that?
And now, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is claiming an alleged $110 million corruption scheme at the state-owned nuclear company.
And that, guys, I'm sure, is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even they, in a time of war, are calling it out.
That's how egregious it is.
I'm sure $110 billion is nothing compared to what's actually been stolen.
I would bet all of it on that.
And what about all the funds dished out under Biden and his USAID?
Where did that go?
Where was it supposed to go and where did it end up?
Was there fraud?
Were there kickbacks?
Zelensky needs to answer tough questions about where U.S. taxpayer money ended up.
Demanding Accountability00:03:50
These aren't conspiracy theory, guys.
These are basic accountability questions that any responsible government should ask when you're talking about this kind of money or really any kind of money.
The fact that the previous administration shipped hundreds of billions overseas with virtually no real-time oversight and the media called anyone who questioned it, me definitely being one of them, a Russian asset tells you everything about how the DC swamp operates.
They don't want accountability.
They want blank checks, your money.
That's not acceptable, and we should get to the bottom of it.
Now, speaking of fake news narratives, I want to talk about something that should concern every single one of you, because this is about how the information you consume is being manipulated right under your nose.
Because an investigative journalist just published a piece in the free press about Wikipedia's entry on Ali Khomeini.
And what he found is a masterclass, an absolute masterclass in false narrative framing.
And just to give you a quick refresher on who Khomeini was, he shut down and persecuted critical media outlets.
He killed press freedom.
He killed journalists.
He purged universities of anyone who disagreed with the regime, jailed artists, intellectuals, anyone who criticized him, arrested and kidnapped foreigners, cut off the internet wherever protests erupted, exported terror across the world, and literally, literally gunned down protesters in the streets.
And it is all horrifying.
And Wikipedia, this site, that literally billions of people go to for information, frame this guy like he's some kind of quirky, misunderstood statesman.
Just like the Washington Post and the New York Times, remember, austere religious scholar for terrorists.
And Khomeini is a nice guy with a big sandal egg beard, basically.
Just to clear it up, from the Wikipedia entry, and I quote, Khomeini was a mainstream figure in the Iranian Revolution and upon its success held many posts in the newly established Islamic Republic.
In the aftermath of the revolution, he was the target of an attempted assassination that paralyzed his right arm.
It goes on to say, and I quote, Khomeini was supportive of scientific progress in Iran.
You know, obviously nuclear weapons, but minor details.
I can assure you he wasn't ahead of the curve on transgender rights, but maybe I don't even entirely disagree with that.
But I don't know whether scientific progress is as much as it was chasing a nuclear weapon to be used against his enemies.
Continue the quote because that was a little bit of an ad lib.
Was amongst the first Islamic clerics to allow stem cell research and therapeutic cloning.
Huh.
It goes on to say, in recent years, the growth of Iran's scientific output is reported to be the fastest in the world.
I mean, this guy's a hero for science.
Khomeini has offered, often encouraged young scientists and top academic talent to push the boundaries of science and technology.
Yeah, again, in nuclear weapons.
I'm not making this up, guys.
The regime's leader is dead, taken out in the strikes, but his propaganda machine at Wikipedia and elsewhere, the New York Times and the Washington Post, is still working overtime.
And the narrative is being shaped to sanitize his legacy.
If they can do it with Khomeini, they're doing it with everyone and everything else.
Sanitizing Legacy00:07:35
Every political topic, every story that matters.
This is why MXM News exists.
That's why I did this.
I was like, man, you got to see it.
We'll take both sides, but at least you get a perspective, not a radicalized marketing campaign like he wrote it himself, and why real, actual, independent news needs to exist.
This is exactly why you need to vet the story, vet the sources, vet the citations, because we need to cover the stories that matter most and do so accurately and honestly.
And Wikipedia is clearly, clearly captured by anti-American radicals with an agenda.
And speaking of big stories, where we need to tell the truth, we have a massive win for parents across the country.
The Supreme Court, on a six to three vote, of course, granted an emergency appeal and blocked California from enforcing its insane policy that prevents schools from telling parents when their own children were trying to transition genders at school.
Minors, young kids were trying to transition, and California was fighting to make sure that parents were not in the loop on this decision.
A young, impressionable kid, perhaps influenced by a lunatic in California, some crazy rainbow-haired teacher, they want to keep parents out of it until there's nothing they can do about it, until it's too late, until we've destroyed them, mutilated their genitals.
Let me say that again, just so it really sinks in.
California had a law, a law that said schools could not tell parents if their child was socially transitioning, using a different name, using different pronouns, unless the kid gave their permission.
This is the California that Gavin Newsom wants to be the rest of the country.
The child had to consent to their own parents being informed.
Okay, that's what it should be.
And school staffers were required to use a student's preferred name and pronouns regardless of what the parents wanted.
Just disregard parental input entirely.
Parents who believe they have a God-given right to raise their own children-I don't know, I don't think that's something that's ever been disputed in the history of time.
Well, they sued.
And the court said in very clear terms that these parents are likely to succeed on the merits of their free exercise claim to the First Amendment.
The majority wrote that these parents have sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs.
This is huge because this isn't just about California.
This is going to reshape parental rights and those fights nationwide.
This could be the precedent that kills these secret, insane gender policies and ideologies in schools across the country.
And that is a huge win for families.
That is a win for common sense, which, as we've seen, is not all that common.
And that is a much-needed loss for the radical gender ideologues who think the government knows better than mom and dad.
And this message is getting through more than ever.
And we saw it in real time this week on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Joe Rogan had Steve O on the show, and the topic of trans bathroom access came out.
Steve O tried to defend the idea that biological men should be allowed in women's bathrooms because it's about inclusion.
And Rogan just demolished him.
Because this isn't about tolerance or inclusion.
This is about common sense and the safety of women and girls.
Period.
Full stop.
Watch.
People that are in trouble for going into women's bathrooms dressed as a woman with a fucking beard and a heart on are just that.
They're creeps.
They're crazy men.
And these crazy men, their entire life, they would get beaten up for that.
Now, all of a sudden, they have to be accepted.
So you've got two things going on at the same time.
For sure.
You've got people with gender dysphoria that genuinely wish they were a woman or genuinely wish they're a man.
And by the way, it's men that are the problem.
No one gives a fuck about trans men going into the men's bathroom.
Come on in.
Who cares?
Right.
Who cares?
Oh, a girl's going to shit next to you?
Or what is she going to do?
She's going to pee out of a funnel?
What is she going to do?
Like, no one's going to get hurt.
No one's going to get hurt.
This is the problem.
When you allow perverts to have this hall pass to go into women's locker rooms and bathrooms, so you can't say you're not allowed to use the bathroom where you work.
That's not true.
You're just not allowed to use the women's room where other women are in there because you're not a woman.
And I know you wish you were a woman or whatever's going on.
Okay.
But you're not.
You make a very, very good point.
If you're a woman, talk to most women about this.
And it's unless they're insanely captured by this woke ideology where they can't see reality and the fact that perverts are still a real fucking thing.
Yeah.
And this loophole.
You've given loopholes.
Like there's men in prison.
I think it's like 47 biological males in California are housed in women's prisons.
Some of them are sex offenders.
Some of them in camp.
And Rogan also pointed out that the number of people identifying as non-binary and trans dropped off right after Elon Musk purchased Twitter.
Why is that?
Huh?
Because suddenly people could actually talk about it.
They could criticize it.
They could push back without being banned.
I got crap in this when I started talking about this in like 1617, about men winning in women's sports.
And even then, before I'd get banned for it, even then, the radicals of what was then Twitter 1.0 would say, you know what, I hate Don Jr. with a passion, but you know, he's right about this one.
Yeah, I agree.
It was never real.
It was never a thing.
It only became a thing when the people talking against it were either banned or there was no pushback to the insanity that the radicals who actually believed it had this incredible voice and there was no opposition because while it existed, they couldn't get a platform.
And that tells you everything.
When free speech exists, when people can actually debate and discuss, the social contagion element becomes obvious.
It wasn't that millions of people suddenly discover their true identity in 2020 or that they changed.
It was a trend.
It was social media.
It was peer pressure.
And the pressure to conform went away.
The numbers dropped.
So the Supreme Court backs parents.
Rogan speaks common sense to the biggest audience in podcasting.
The numbers are going in our direction.
The radical gender agenda is losing and they know it.
Part of that interview, by the way, with Steve-O, Steve-O is like, well, I know people who are trans and they're being sent to internment camps.
Joe Rogan called him out on it.
Free Speech Matters00:06:48
When are they getting sent?
Where?
It's not happening.
But that's the narrative.
Oh my God, we're getting sent to an internment camp.
Show me one.
Show me a single internment camp for the trans.
He didn't even know it.
This is a guy that's on TV all the time.
He speaks to a lot of people.
He literally believed that because someone said that, and the mainstream media probably ran with the story as though it was real, it doesn't exist.
It's also why we need courage in Congress to codify some of these things into law.
And that starts with making sure that we have secure elections so we can actually make sure this stuff lasts.
And your favorite president isn't holding back, telling Republicans to stand firm on the Save America Act.
The Save America Act recently passed the House.
It requires, very simply, proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and to actually be able to show an ID to vote.
And again, how is this not already the law?
Some of the far more liberal Marxist states of Europe and South America and everywhere else in the world literally requires just that.
Remember, 10 days ago, they needed two forms of ID to shovel snow in New York, but to register to vote, don't have to show anything.
I just, ah, sure, sure, I'm from here.
Sure, oh yeah, no, no, I'm a driver's license.
I'm totally legal.
Democrats want them to vote.
That's the whole thing.
You have to prove you're an American citizen to vote in American elections.
The fact that this is even controversial tells you everything about where the Democrat Party is and how spineless Senate rhinos actually are.
Americans support it across basically every demographic group.
It's a 90-10 issue.
Democrats only hope is that rhinos in the Senate bail them out.
If you can't secure the vote, nothing else matters.
Not border security, not tax cuts, not foreign policy, because if the wrong people are voting, if they're sent here specifically to vote and to sway elections, if you bring in the lowest common denominator, the least capable people, allow them in haphazardly and illegally, and let them vote, they're going to vote for who gives them free shit your money.
Okay?
Again, if the wrong people are voting or the system isn't at all secure, all of those wins can be wiped away in one election.
That's why my father is pressing so hard.
That's why every Republican needs to get on board.
No excuses, no nonsense.
Here, Senator Mike Lee again, who was on the show with us 10 days ago, two weeks ago, here's Senator Mike Lee with more.
Stunningly easy for someone in almost any state of the union to walk into a DMV, fill out a form to apply for a driver's license, which you can do as a non-citizen in almost any state.
And by merely checking a box and signing your name, you can register to vote, including to vote in a federal election.
Even though existing law prohibits anyone who is not a citizen from voting in a U.S. federal election, it's phenomenally easy to do so if they follow this stunning formula.
That's why I've proposed the Save America Act, which would make sure that we have the tools necessary to protect your vote.
Because anytime someone casts a vote in a federal election who is not an American citizen, it's taking away your vote.
It's taking something that doesn't belong to them and that belongs to you uniquely as an American citizen.
100%.
Lala Bush82 says, our big problem, so many seek free handouts.
That's what the Democrats do.
They promise everyone everything for free.
Well, the money has to come from somewhere.
Remember Margaret Thatcher's great quote about socialism, right?
The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.
So connect all of these different dots.
My father's administration is taking on the world's most dangerous nuclear threat, and the Democrats are running to microphones to cry about it.
They had their chance with Iran.
They chose appeasement.
They chose worse than that, frankly.
They chose pallets of cash.
They chose a deal that guaranteed a nuclear Iran.
And now they're mad that somebody is actually solving the problem.
Meanwhile, Tim Waltz is getting exposed for presiding over one of the biggest fraud scandals in American history, while Wikipedia is whitewashing a dead terrorist dictator, proving that the information war is not just on the battlefield.
It is everywhere.
It's why I ask you guys to like, to share, to subscribe, to make sure that this message gets out there, to make sure that everyone sees it.
Because if they go to the places that are the trusted sources, they're getting fed a load of crap.
Zelensky in Ukraine, hundreds of billions of dollars with more questions than answers.
And the swamp establishment doesn't want you asking those questions.
But we're going to keep asking them.
We're going to demand answers.
We're not going to let this go.
But there is a lot of good news, guys, even if it doesn't always feel like it, okay?
The Supreme Court is backing parents.
Joe Rogan is speaking the truth to the biggest audience in media.
And my father is pressing to secure our elections once and for all.
That's the theme of tonight.
Truth versus the machine.
Truth in war, truth in spending, truth in information.
Truth about who we are as a nation.
The left doesn't want truth.
They want narratives.
They want power.
They want control.
And we are taking that control back.
One headline at a time, one podcast at a time, one story at a time.
Here, one episode at a time.
So maybe with that, a little bit early, not quite seven o'clock.
Maybe we'll take a couple of questions.
So let's see what you guys got.
Questions?
You know, dog ball, Save America, act now more than ever.
100%, guys.
I mean, think of the comments.
Imagine how you can say with a straight face.
I mean, when you had liberal white reporters questioning, you know, black people and basically saying, hey, you're not capable of getting an ID.
Voting Rights Insults00:09:25
And the black person is absolutely insulted.
I mean, think about what that is.
By the way, in all fairness, like just as a marker, do you think someone should be voting if they're incapable of getting an ID at this point in America?
Like, I don't know.
I don't think they should be making any decisions for themselves.
You can't get an ID.
You probably can't make an informed decision if you can't get an ID.
I don't know what you're capable of doing, but if you can't get an ID, it's probably not capable of much.
It can't be much.
Comfort of joy, Junior, did you see all the people calling your dad Uncle Trump and Iran?
I did not, but I know there's a lot of happy people there that are sick of what's going on down there.
Junior, if we don't secure elections, we're screwed.
Jules 75337, I agree.
When will Omar be arrested and deported?
Well, it seems like, again, she lied about a lot of things, clearly lied about her immigration status.
They should deport her, but that in and of itself should be disqualifying and a deportable offense.
And yet, nothing is actually going to happen.
By the way, Khomeini, Khomeini was a leader in trans rights because he outlawed being gay and promoted transitions.
So is that actually true?
My team just put that up in here.
I was like, okay, well, maybe now we know why the left is going nuts.
I mean, Khomeini, you know, well, you're not gay.
You're a dude with a penis who likes other dudes.
You're just a woman.
Checks out, I guess.
I don't know, but maybe that explains why the media is so pro-Khomeini.
He's just the leader of the trans movement.
And if you're in the trans movement, you are beyond reproach.
Let's see.
Will Tim be brought to justice for fraud in the state?
I sure hope so.
I mean, it seems like, man, there's enough witnesses there.
And it's not like it's by, you know, it's not like it's unilateral.
You know, that's what the Republicans are saying.
Thus, the whistleblowers were a lot of Democrats.
Doesn't seem to matter again.
So we'll see.
Let's see.
With the issue of Wikipedia in the past, it could not be used when writing thesis or dissertation papers because they were looked upon as fake citations from May Woman.
I agree with that.
I mean, Wikipedia.
Don't go there because I wouldn't want to give them the clicks and the income that is generated from this nonsense.
But in the past, I have gone and read my Wikipedia page and Hunter Biden's.
And man, there's a major role reversal in there.
So it's just, it's disgusting, but it's also where a lot of people get their information, right?
That's just like an old encyclopedia.
We're going to look it up and, oh, this must be true, right?
I mean, I read it on Wikipedia.
It must be, nope.
It's also where a lot of artificial intelligence highly weights the information on there when making and giving you an answer because despite not having any credibility, it still has some.
So, you know, it's got to be over.
What do I think about Tellerico?
That's the Democrat that won the Senate Democrat nomination for the Senate seat in Texas.
That's the guy that beat Jasmine Crockett.
And honestly, I didn't know much about him before that.
I know Jasmine Crockett is literally insane, but I'm seeing the commentary.
I mean, yesterday, my whole Twitter feed was full of the commentary of this guy and the statements that he made.
And it is wild.
Like, I literally was like, who do I?
I think I sent it to, man, who was it?
Well, governor or something.
It was someone big in Texas.
And I was like, wow, who would have thought that there is a world in which Jasmine Crockett, like, you know who I'm talking about, right?
Like, Jasmine Crockett is actually like the voice of reason was actually the reasonable, you know, member of the squad, absolutely batshit crazy.
Like, you know, don't get me wrong, but like Jasmine Crockett was less radical than Tellarico.
And this guy won in a pretty significant landslide.
Jasmine Crockett then said, in, you know, in places that are literally Democrat-controlled in a Democrat primary where Republicans can't even vote, that Republicans rigged it.
You can't make it up.
You can't.
But literally, we are at the point where Jasmine Crockett, in my view, was actually the voice of reason.
And Texas Democrats voted for someone that made her seem reasonable.
That's scary, guys.
Fix that.
I was like, oh, well, you know, she's insane.
So, man, this guy might be harder to beat.
But nope, you start reading what he actually said and the posts that he's made over the years and all this.
I'm like, he is far left of Jasmine Crockett, far more radical, pro-trans, all the crap that like that could be a senator from Texas.
MG second, must everyone must get everyone out to vote in November.
How?
You know, everything's the state stuff, check your polling locations.
Start talking to your friends now.
Get involved in the primary so we can get good candidates.
And, you know, do that now.
But start having these conversations.
Do not sit these elections out.
Apathy is what's going to kill us.
Apathy, where we just, it's fine.
You know, no, Trump's going to be president, so it doesn't really matter.
No, these guys are running an agenda where they're going to try to impeach Trump.
They're going to try to stop him from doing anything.
You could have a four-year presidency turned into a two-year presidency where he's just sitting in the seat, not able to get anything done.
And that is their plan.
They run people that pretend to be not radical, and then they become radical once they get elected.
Do not sit it out.
Get involved as though Trump was on the top of the ticket, as though literally your country, your family, your livelihood is on the ticket because it is.
Everything is at stake.
So you got to check it out.
You know, I'm sure each state has their own thing where you can figure it out, where you can figure out your polling locations, but start doing that now.
Get registered.
Make sure you're in the timeframes.
Make sure you qualify.
Make sure your friends are doing the same.
If everyone gets 10, 20, 30, 100 of their friends to do this, we can win in a landslide.
But it's not how it historically works.
Historically, the party that's not in power, you know, they're all disgruntled.
So they have hate and loathing, and that's their motivation.
Our guys are like, yeah, we got what we want.
It's great.
Maybe not everything, but it's fine.
We sit it out.
That's why out of like, I think literally 31 of like 33 of the last elections, like the candidate in power, the president in power, that party, the other side wins.
Do not let it happen.
Let's see.
Yep.
Be out there and vote in the primary 100%.
Does Trump plan to use the Insurrection Act anytime soon?
You know what?
I don't know.
I'm sort of, I stay on the outside.
I talk about what I see and what I, you know, what I hear.
I'm not sure, you know, where things are.
I think it's probably called for in a lot of places, but I think there's plenty of, you know, you've seen some of the stuff when they arrest the people, the judges say, oh, you can't do that.
You know, we're just not playing on a level playing field.
So we got to make sure we get whatever wins we possibly can because it's not fair and it's not always just.
So God bless President Trump and God bless America.
Stacey Hobbs, thank you.
Let's see.
How can we eradicate the activist judges?
We've got to win elections because those people are put in there by places.
You know, in the places where you elect judges, get out there, make sure you understand where they are.
Stop voting for Democrats.
The Democrat judges that are put up are radicals.
They don't follow the law.
They don't follow the Constitution.
They follow the agenda and the narrative.
Our guys don't do that.
They follow the Constitution.
Even when it's marginal, even when it's close or even when it's pretty clearly our way, sometimes they still get swayed because the pressure campaigns against them.
It's a really big deal.
Get involved, but also make sure, remember, a lot of these federal judges and stuff like that, they're appointed by the president.
You get a radical in charge.
They get to put hundreds of these people in there over time.
Keep voting.
Vote Republican.
Get your friends to do the same and get out there.
So with that, guys, I got to go ahead and do a dinner.
Really appreciate you tuning in.
