00:01:25.000Again, he had held that seat since 2012.
00:01:27.000He was very popular in his district, and that district happens to have gone for President Trump by 35 to 40 points in the last several election cycles.
00:01:35.000Massey lost that seat because he decided that he wanted to go to war with President Trump on policy and also personally.
00:02:10.000But I think that to understand the race, you actually have to understand what people in Kentucky's 4th district were watching.
00:02:16.000They were not all on X, they were not all online, they were not watching the same race.
00:02:21.000That many of us who are in the online world and podcastistan, as it's called, were watching.
00:02:26.000So, I want to show you the actual ads, the kinds of ads that were running in Kentucky's 4th District, because it tells you what this race was about.
00:02:34.000So, Massey's strategy in his TV ads was to hump President Trump's leg.
00:03:40.000In fact, if you go back and look at things I've said about Thomas Massey in the past, he's been staunchly small government in ways that I largely support.
00:03:48.000What actually happened is he decided that he was going to be a gadfly Republican congressperson who was totally useless to Trump, and then he was going to attack Trump directly.
00:03:58.000He refused to support all of Trump's major legislative initiatives.
00:04:04.000He was one of only two House Republicans to vote against it.
00:04:08.000He decided that he was going to hold up in 2020 the COVID stimulus package.
00:04:12.000Again, I'm not saying that he was wrong on all of this, but this is why Trump was pissed off.
00:04:16.000In 2025, he decided that he was going to join with Democrats to try to stop President Trump's airstrikes on Iran.
00:04:25.000And then, of course, his biggest move was that he was going to push Trump on the Epstein files.
00:04:31.000He was going to suggest there was some deep, dark conspiracy about Epstein.
00:04:33.000By the way, on the SAVE Act, he voted no on a procedural rule.
00:04:36.000That would have enabled the bill to come to the floor.
00:04:38.000It was really Epstein stuff that set Trump off.
00:04:40.000Because there are a lot of Congress people who have voted against Trump occasionally, and he's okay with that.
00:04:44.000The thing about Massey is, he decided that he was going to join with Democrats in pushing a bunch of online conspiratorial nonsense, including the idea that President Trump was actively covering up some sort of sex trafficking ring involving important people who are Trump's friends or Trump himself.
00:04:59.000And he joined with Ro Khanna, another conspiratorial Democrat, in order to do this.
00:05:14.000And in a couple of hours, we found six men whose names have been redacted who are implicated in the way that the files are presented.
00:05:24.000Now, again, you should remember that those six men that he was talking about there, they had to apologize after naming them on the floor of Congress because it turns out it was total crap.
00:05:31.000So Massey decided to go to war with President Trump.
00:05:34.000But then every ad that he ran in his district, all the ads, the ones that, you know, the normie people who are not online all the time were watching, It was Massey trying to grab Trump and hug him, to bear hug him.
00:05:44.000And meanwhile, Trump was deploying his entire administration to say, I want nothing to do with this schmuck.
00:06:15.000A true American patriot, which Massey knows full well.
00:06:17.000So the statement he put out is fraudulent, just like he is fraudulent.
00:06:19.000Withdraw your fake statement, Massey, right now, President Donald Trump.
00:06:24.000Hey, so again, if you were a normie in Kentucky's 4th congressional district, what you were watching was a congressman who President Trump did not like because that congressman voted against all of his priorities and was joining with Democrats in order to do that and had personally gone after Trump and basically accused him of covering up a child sex trafficking ring.
00:06:43.000And that guy, that same congressman, was trying to hump Trump's leg.
00:06:46.000Ed Gallerine's ads were all about how, wait for it, Thomas Massey did not support Trump properly.
00:07:32.000Harry Enton points out over at CNN that in 2020, 2022, and 2024, when Massey held similar positions but had decided not to go up against Trump on every major legislative priority and also steer directly into conspiracy land, he got 75% of the vote.
00:07:48.000This time, he ended up at 45% of the vote.
00:08:10.000Okay, so that's what actually happened in reality land.
00:08:12.000But that's not the story that you're hearing online today.
00:08:14.000You're hearing a very different story if you live in the online universe.
00:08:17.000That is because Thomas Massey decided in a bright red, pro Trump northern Kentucky district.
00:08:23.000Of 770,000 people, less than five of whom are Jewish, they are less than 0.1% of the population, Jews, in Kentucky, four, to run on a platform of Israel is evil and manipulates our elections, and Cenk Uyghur and online Nazis are pro America heroes.
00:08:41.000I will explain in a second why he was doing that.
00:08:43.000There are several theories, but that is what he decided to do.
00:08:46.000So he was receiving support from the young Turks, Cenk Uyghur and Anna Kasparian.
00:08:49.000Here is Anna Kasparian, who's become psychotically anti Israel, going off.
00:08:54.000And talking about how everybody needs to support Thomas Massey.
00:08:57.000Again, getting Anna Kasparian's endorsement in the Kentucky 4th is a bold strategy, Cotton.
00:09:07.000Understand that Thomas Massey, as a libertarian, is against funding a foreign country's wars.
00:09:14.000In fact, I would like for all of our members of Congress to be against funding a foreign country's wars, but unfortunately, we don't live in a country that has leaders like that.
00:09:22.000And Ed Galrine, Massey's opponent, not only Wants the United States to pay for Israel's wars to help it build its empire in the Middle East.
00:09:33.000He would like Americans to be forced, literally forced, into fighting Israel's wars.
00:09:39.000Now, older conservatives don't have to worry about a draft, right?
00:09:43.000Younger conservatives, though, they're definitely worried about a draft.
00:09:48.000So, again, this was Massey's strategy.
00:09:49.000I mean, the day before the election, he had a pizza party with alt right podcasters, influencers, and some Nazis.
00:11:01.000An actual supporter of American soldiers getting captured andor killed while wearing a sweatshirt that says American Reich.
00:11:07.000And if you think that somehow Massey didn't know who Ryan Matt was, he literally took a photo with him wearing that exact same sweatshirt and hugging him.
00:11:14.000Now, that's a bold move, and it's a weird move in Kentucky's fourth.
00:11:17.000So here is the question What the hell was Thomas Massey doing?
00:11:22.000All right, coming up, we'll get into what Thomas Massey was thinking, you know, in a deep red district in northern Kentucky, making the whole race about Israel and American Jews and all the rest.
00:11:32.000First, One of the stranger financial habits people have is spending hours comparison shopping for a plane ticket that saves them $12, but then continue paying $80 or $90 a month for wireless service without any question.
00:11:42.000At a certain point, you have to ask why, especially now that companies like PureTalk exist.
00:11:46.000PureTalk, which is veteran led and backed by 100% US based customer service, now offers unlimited high speed data for just $34.99 a month.
00:11:53.000That's a pretty major shift because unlimited high speed data at PureTalk used to start around $55 a month, but PureTalk has continued pushing to offer more value at lower prices.
00:12:01.000So if you looked at PureTalk before and you didn't switch, Probably worth taking another look right now.
00:12:05.000And one thing people always ask is whether the service actually holds up compared to those massively overpriced major carriers.
00:12:50.000Why in the world, in a district that has fewer than 500 Jews, would you decide?
00:12:55.000That it was really, really important to run on the Zionist organized government, the Jews control everything platform, doing podcasts with Cenk Uyghur, hanging out with people who wear American Reich sweatshirts.
00:13:17.000Reason number one he thought that the only way to fight back against Trump was by running on a sort of bank shot electoral strategy based on conspiracy.
00:13:25.000So, again, this is a common thing for members of the woke right.
00:13:28.000President Trump has attacked a lot of people.
00:13:30.000And people like Massey, he's trying to cling to Trump, right?
00:15:03.000I'm going to throw out conspiracy theories.
00:15:06.000I'm going to go full scale conspiratorial anti Israel.
00:15:10.000And so that was Massey's plan, he knew he was toast anyway, and he may as well make some money on the other side.
00:15:14.000And the best way to make money on the other side is to do that sort of thing, obviously.
00:15:18.000Now, there's some pretty good evidence for this.
00:15:20.000If you look at Massey's parting shot here, as Massey lost, he decides that he's going to call President Trump the emperor of a Roman empire.
00:15:27.000And then he's going to slide in some not particularly subtle anti Semitism.
00:15:33.000I got to watch Fox also for the first time in 18 months.
00:15:39.000The president is talking about, by the way, while gas is almost $5 and diesel is almost $6, they're talking about this big ballroom they're going to build, and it looks like the Roman Empire, architecture from the Roman Empire.
00:17:15.000Okay, because he doesn't like either party.
00:17:18.000So now he's going to lead the horseshoe theory right.
00:17:22.000The woke left and the horseshoe theory, they all come to woke right, woke left.
00:17:25.000They will come together under the auspices of a Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Rihanna Joy Gray party.
00:17:36.000I'm not even sure that I'm bipartisan.
00:17:41.000I might be trans partisan because I can't identify with either some days.
00:17:51.000Hey, so along with this new podcast possibility for.
00:17:55.000Thomas Massey, who again, very weird strategy to go in this direction.
00:17:59.000Okay, but one possible part of the theory is that he also gets strange new respect from the left.
00:18:06.000So again, the left is strangely respectful of Thomas Massey.
00:18:09.000The New York Times came out in support of Thomas Massey.
00:18:14.000Hassan Piker came out in support of Thomas Massey.
00:18:17.000Hassan Piker, the insane Mansion Marxist, Cartier Communist, America hater extraordinaire put out a tweet, quote, Massey's defeat proves the Republican Party is a pro Epstein, pro Israel cult led by their cult leader, Epstein affiliate, servant of Israel, Donald Trump.
00:20:17.000He'll be on Ezra Klein, the whole deal.
00:20:20.000I should point out here that for those who think that Thomas Massey will only get the strange new respect from the left because he is anti Trump, that is wrong.
00:20:28.000He's not going to get strange new respect because he was anti Trump.
00:20:31.000He's getting strange new respect because he's trafficking with all of the Nazi woke right types.
00:22:03.000Helix also has more than 20 different mattress models, so people can actually find something tailored to how they sleep instead of just buying that generic mattress and hoping for the best.
00:22:10.000According to Helix, a study they ran found 82% of participants saw an increase in deep sleep after switching to that Helix mattress.
00:22:16.000The mattress ships directly to your door.
00:22:39.000So he was just going to say that Trump was the puppet of the evil, nefarious dudes.
00:22:44.000Theory number two was that Massey knew that he'd lost already.
00:22:47.000And so he may as well just program directly into the algorithm and get some clicks and giggles.
00:22:52.000And theory number three is that Massey has brainworms.
00:22:55.000And he thought that he would win because of X. Because if you actually follow these things on X, you thought the entire election was about Israel.
00:23:03.000But as I pointed out up top, if you were a resident of his congressional district, every ad you saw on TV had nothing to do with Israel.
00:23:11.000Attacking Israel was just Massey's defense mechanism for failing as a congressperson.
00:23:16.000As per our usual arrangement, attacks will be levied at particular people over things that have nothing to do with Israel and trying to get a bunch of clicks and trying to.
00:23:27.000Rally the support of some of the worst people on the internet, you just start talking about Israel.
00:23:31.000So Massey may have thought he was going to win because he was watching X. That's the only way you explain why he is hanging out with Cenk Uyghur the day before an election in a district that has zero Cenk Uyghur supporters.
00:23:43.000But it turns out that reality still exists.
00:23:45.000Online is not real, as we have been saying.
00:23:49.000And it turns out that people in Kentucky did not care about the Israel issue.
00:23:54.000It's not that everybody in Kentucky's fourth district is wildly pro Israel or tools of the Jews or anything.
00:24:00.000It's the people in Kentucky's 4th District don't give a crap about that issue.
00:24:03.000That is how Thomas Massey ended up as a seven term congressperson in that particular race.
00:24:09.000It turns out Kentucky voters don't give a crap about the Epstein conspiracy theories or your nutty Tucker Carlson junk about how Israel is the worst country on the planet.
00:24:17.000And it turns out neither do most people.
00:24:19.000You can ask James Fishbeck, who's going to soon win about seven votes in Florida, or Casey Putsch, whose voting base looks like one of those Western ghost towns with the tumbleweeds, or Marjorie Taylor Greene, who took it harder in her Georgia election than she did from her personal trainer.
00:24:35.000So let's just be real reality still exists.
00:24:39.000And by the way, in the Republican Party, that reality is that if Trump endorses your opponent, you got some problems.
00:24:43.000This is how JD Vance ended up as vice president of the United States.
00:24:47.000He was losing his Ohio primary in the Senate.
00:24:54.000Okay, speaking of which, the other big Republican political news from yesterday is that the president of the United States endorsed Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, over John Cornyn, the sitting senator in Texas.
00:25:06.000Now, the reality is that Paxton was likely to beat Cornyn anyway.
00:25:10.000Trump had sat out the race for a very long time.
00:25:13.000And again, Paxton in the Kalshi odds, and again, Kalshi is one of our sponsors.
00:25:18.000But according to Kalshi, before Trump's endorsement, Paxton was already 62% likely to win that Texas Senate nomination.
00:25:25.000And then the minute that Trump endorsed Paxton, his chances jumped to 93%.
00:25:45.000That said, those same CalChie odds show that 53% of people are betting on the GOP.
00:25:51.00047% of people are backing James Tallarico, the Democrat.
00:25:55.000Now, it may turn out that this is actually kind of a boon for Republicans in the sense that Democrats are likely to sink an enormous amount of money into Texas.
00:26:03.000They are now going to be suckered into the Beto play, thinking they might win.
00:26:07.000Bottom line is Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, and that's basically all she wrote.
00:26:10.000That's the end of that Senate primary, which is slated to take place next week.
00:26:14.000Quote The highly respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, An America First patriot and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our amazing MAGA movement is running for the U.S. Senate to represent a place I love and won big three times with 6.4 million votes in 2024, the most votes in the history of the state by far.
00:26:31.000And then he talks about how he is a big supporter of Ken Paxton and he's going to help him in the Senate and all the rest.
00:26:38.000Now, Paxton, again, is sort of running Gal Ryan's campaign here.
00:26:42.000He says that Cornyn was dishonest with voters about his support for President Trump.
00:26:46.000Here is Paxton, again, using Trump as the litmus test.
00:26:51.000He has not been a friend of the president.
00:26:53.000In 2016, he said he was an albatross around our neck.
00:26:55.000And then in 2024, he said that his time had passed and he insinuated that he was guilty of crimes.
00:27:00.000This guy has been a friend of Donald Trump ever since I got into the race a year ago, but has not been a friend to him prior to that.
00:27:06.000And as soon as this race is over, he will not be a friend to Donald Trump.
00:27:12.000And he's been dishonest with the voters of Texas.
00:27:16.000Now, again, I think that the reality is that Cornyn has had basically a checkered history with President Trump, true for a lot of members of the Senate.
00:27:23.000But bottom line is that, you know, once Trump endorsed, I think that Trump just waited this one out, right?
00:27:29.000He waited a very, very long time to endorse Paxton.
00:27:31.000It's not like he endorsed him right out the gate.
00:27:33.000He wanted to see that Paxton could perform in the primary before getting behind him, something the president frequently does, as opposed to Galrin, where Trump called the shot.
00:27:42.000I mean, when it came to Massey and Galrin, Trump was the first guy up to say Massey needs to be primary.
00:27:47.000There was not going to be a serious primary challenge to Massey, and then Trump launched it.
00:29:26.000And Andy Barr just secured the GOP Senate primary in Mitch McConnell's seat after Trump endorsed him.
00:29:32.000So Trump is still the kingmaker inside the Republican Party.
00:29:34.000Now, one thing that's really fascinating that's been happening here is you may have noticed that many of the people who are the most anti Semitic in the Republican Party.
00:29:42.000The people who traffic in anti Israel conspiracy theories that shade over into anti Semitism pretty clearly, those people are being clocked by President Trump.
00:29:50.000Not because this is like a top issue for Trump, but because those same conspiracy theorists, I do not think it's coincidence.
00:29:56.000If you're a conspiracy theorist about Trump or Epstein or in general about the world, if you traffic in grievance politics, you're likely to end up in that category.
00:30:04.000And then Trump is likely to clock you.
00:30:06.000So as Thomas Massey is being ushered out of the GOP, same as Marjorie Taylor Greene, same as Joe Kent, and all the rest of this, Democrats are embracing every anti Semitic, anti Israel nut job they can find.
00:30:19.000So, Chris Rabb secured a Pennsylvania House primary in Philadelphia yesterday after campaigning with Hassan Piker, again, Thomas Massey endorser.
00:30:29.000Well, he's a Democratic Socialist of America candidate who said the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia was a false flag by quote unquote Zionists.
00:32:05.000It turns out that a woman who is very likely to win her House Democratic primary in Texas, a woman named Maureen Galindo, she has now announced that she would like to set up internment camps for quote unquote American Zionists, which means internment camps for Jews.
00:32:21.000Her latest set of inflammatory remarks comes as the Democratic hopeful for Texas's newly redrawn 35th congressional district continues to draw national attention.
00:32:31.000She accused her runoff opponent, former Bexar County public information officer Johnny Garcia, of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire Zionists.
00:33:07.000And it's not just, you know, a few of the outlying Democrats.
00:33:10.000It has seeped into the brains of the Democrats that they must be radical.
00:33:15.000In one second, we'll get to more from these insane Democrats.
00:33:17.000Plus, the manifesto of the shooters at the Islamic Center in San Diego shows that brainworms have some pretty real consequences, particularly for those with pre existing mental illness.
00:33:26.000First, Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer shopping season.

00:34:37.000Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry says that the goal of remember those ice protests, the ones that held up ice for months?
00:34:46.000And led to the deaths of a couple of American citizens after they decided to obstruct ICE in their pursuit of their jobs.
00:34:53.000Well, now he says the goal was to influence national policy, Mayor Jacob Fry, also famous for kneeling before the casket of George Floyd.
00:35:02.000ICE is not just the federal police force that he's developed, it is his.
00:35:08.000And there's a historical analog here, which is the SS.
00:35:13.000The SS was unaccountable to the parliament, they answered only to Hitler.
00:35:18.000ICE, also, once they get the funding and have these massive increases to the extent that it's larger than the FBI, they largely don't need approvals from the congressional body.
00:35:57.000He says this ruling is a victory for New York's immigrant communities and the basic principle no one should fear detention for seeking justice or following the law.
00:36:05.000Well, what if you are not following the law, which is why you are here illegally?
00:36:10.000Representative Pramila Jayapal, head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, she says ICE and CBP are unconstitutional.
00:36:17.000She was saying this at a forum sponsored by the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
00:36:24.000And ICE and CBP have turned into completely unconstitutional.
00:36:30.000Unconstitutional agencies that have terrorized entire communities, killed U.S. citizens in our streets, and are jailing over 70,000 people every single night in immigrant incarceration facilities, regardless of immigration status, U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, people with valid visas, every single night, 70,000 people.
00:36:54.000Those mass detention policies have been ruled illegal by over 420 judges across the country, including.
00:37:01.000A majority of judges who were appointed by Donald Trump.
00:37:14.000She's the one who got forced into that terrible redistricting map that then got rejected.
00:37:18.000She campaigned as moderate, and she was supposed to be a moderate Democrat.
00:37:21.000Well, now she's announcing an executive order on how Virginia state employees can basically obstruct federal agents or fail to coordinate with federal agents on immigration.
00:37:33.000Tomorrow, I'll be issuing an executive order.
00:37:36.000So, surprise, sorry to my comms team on this one.
00:37:45.000Ensuring that we are putting out from the state level some guidance across public spaces, including polling places, of how Virginia state employees or people who are working in support of Virginia's state run elections can react.
00:38:03.000To, in this particular case, federal agents who might be appearing at a location and where the worry is that they're principally there to intimidate or scare people.
00:38:15.000Now, again, the goal for Democrats in the end, if they take back power, is to run the table on a bunch of far left policy.
00:38:22.000Hakeem Jeffries, who may be Speaker of the House after November, depending on how that election goes, which is a scary prospect, he says the goal is to break Republican spirit.
00:38:33.000I guess part of how we as House Democrats view this moment.
00:38:36.000Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country or we're going to break them.
00:38:46.000We have to beat them electorally and then we have to break their spirit because of the extremism that's being unleashed on the American people.
00:38:53.000That's completely and totally unacceptable.
00:38:57.000The Republicans are extreme for, you know, wanting to police the border or for wanting to stop the Iranian nuclear program.
00:39:15.000Folks, if you vote for Democrats, then that is what is coming next.
00:39:18.000Now, what we are watching, and it is a dangerous thing, we're watching this happen on both sides of the aisle, is the brain rot that sets in when everybody goes to online.
00:39:33.000Now, the kind of mainstream consequences of the brain rot, the mainstream consequences of the brain rot, are bad candidates.
00:39:40.000Candidates who Are focused in on issues that Americans don't care about, and very frequently they lose.
00:39:46.000But brain rot has, shall we say, more vulnerable targets.
00:39:52.000If people, young people, spend too much time online, the brain rot has serious, damaging impact.
00:39:57.000That's why you should keep your kids off social media, folks.
00:39:59.000Or if you're a young person, restrict your usage, because it is easy to get caught up in a bunch of absolute nonsense and dangerous nonsense.
00:40:08.000We now have the manifesto of the mosque shooters from the other day, the Islamic Center of San Diego.
00:40:14.000Three people were shot, and then the two shooters shot themselves.
00:40:18.000And the manifesto is an ode to all of the brain rot politics that you see from the woke right.
00:40:25.000And woke left combined from that grievance party, new left.
00:40:31.000It is, if you just read this without knowing who exactly was promoting it, it could be on many of the woke right shows.
00:40:39.000It would be on Breonna Joy Gray or Tucker Carlson, many of the points that are in these sorts of things.
00:40:44.000And again, that doesn't mean that they are to blame for the violence, they're to blame for raising the temperature and for issuing brain rot that obviously has impact on people who have mental vulnerabilities.
00:41:12.000And it's fascinating only in that it is a reflection.
00:41:15.000If you spend time on the sewage tank that is social media, particularly Reddit or X or 4chan or any of that, it's basically a reflection of all of that stuff.
00:41:27.000Admits, yes, I had some mental issues, which I'm sure will come out eventually, so I won't waste any time talking about it here.
00:41:34.000I'm certainly not left wing, nor am I right wing, especially not with MAGL or Trump.
00:41:38.000Politically, I'd call myself a third positionist, specifically aligning most with nationalist socialism and eco fascism through any third positionism, especially those that prioritize its people, nationalism, racial homogeneity, nature, traditionalist ideals, etc.
00:41:54.000And then he quotes William Luther Pierce, who is the author of a book called The Turner Diaries.
00:42:00.000Which was a sort of white supremacist novel manifesto.
00:42:05.000Whether you swung to the right or whether you swung to the left, we'll simply swing you by the neck.
00:42:08.000Quote The modern left is retarded and the modern right is foolish.
00:42:11.000The left advocates for progression at all costs, not realizing how damaging that truly is.
00:42:15.000And the right tries to conserve traditional values, yet they support technological, economic, and cultural growth.
00:42:22.000And here's some more of what the manifesto says.
00:42:24.000And again, if this sounds like it echoes a lot of the messages you hear on very popular shows online, that's because it does.
00:42:32.000The left says we need to bring in as many immigrants as possible, not realizing or caring that all that does is make our society a third world bleephole while replacing white people.
00:42:40.000The right believes immigration is okay as long as it's legal.
00:42:42.000This, in practice, merely causes the decay and replacement to come slower instead of stopping it.
00:42:48.000I would much rather have a worse economy run only by white people than a better one run by N words.
00:43:58.000Quote Everyone has their own idea of who is to blame for all wrong in the world.
00:44:02.000They will say it's the government, the elite, the rich, the politicians, the 1%, the left, the right, the capitalists, the communists, the Illuminati, the F word for gay people, and trannies, the immigrants, and many more.
00:44:15.000All of them can be traced back to be or be caused by one group, the Jews.
00:45:00.000I believe that accelerating toward the destruction of our current political system and towards an all out race war for the purpose of a societal collapse is the only real way forward.
00:45:08.000Now, again, why do I bother reading all of this?
00:45:09.000Because these messages are effervescent in social media.
00:45:13.000They are there everywhere, everywhere.
00:45:15.000So if you're a parent and you're letting your kids untrammeled just travel the wilds of social media, Hang out in Podcastistan where half these messages are promoted, much more than half these, then you just know this is the kind of crap that people are listening to.
00:45:29.000And at the outer edge, at the fringe, it has some pretty deadly consequences.
00:45:34.000More specifically, on a broad level, obviously, it perverts our politics.
00:45:38.000Meanwhile, in better news, Vivek Ramaswamy, who again was opposed by many of these same sorts, he is now the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Ohio.
00:45:50.000He is promising to fight Medicaid fraud in Ohio.
00:45:53.000He was joined by some of our reporters at Daily Wire who have uncovered so much of it.
00:45:59.000And so, to everyone in this state who rightly feels that the quality of your health care may be going down even as your costs are going up, that you're working hard to make ends meet, to put food on the dinner table and provide health care for your family and it feels too expensive, a copay that's a little higher than it should be, health insurance premiums that have risen without quality outcomes to go along with it, the easiest solution that we can deliver for you as leaders, the easiest solution that I will be able to deliver to you.
00:46:28.000In the first six months of my leadership of this state, will be to crush Medicaid fraud by the billions and to put that money back in your pocket where it belongs.
00:46:41.000He was joined by our Daily Wire reporter, Luke Rosiak, who's uncovered all this Medicaid fraud in Ohio.
00:46:47.000Luke also, by the way, was testifying at the State House and he was accused of racism for the fraud investigation.
00:47:06.000We are, when you look at the numbers of people that are in Ohio, the white population versus people of color, you're implying that most of the fraud is happening in communities of color.
00:47:24.000Okay, so again, the notion that somehow it's racist to uncover fraud is, of course, ridiculous.
00:47:31.000Speaking of fraud, JD Vance, who's been tasked by the administration with tracking down fraud on the federal level, is previewing a fraud investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, who's come up in some discussions of the stuff that's going on in Minnesota.
00:47:45.000I don't want to prejudge an investigation.
00:47:47.000I mean, you read the things about Ilhan Omar and about who she married and whether she didn't marry this person or that person.
00:47:54.000It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody's entitled to equal justice under the laws.
00:47:59.000So we're going to investigate it, we're going to take a look at it.
00:48:02.000If we think that there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime.
00:48:05.000And that's something the Department of Justice is looking at right now.
00:48:09.000So while Republicans are looking into fraud, Democrats have decided that they are going to target President Trump and the administration over fraud.
00:48:16.000Gavin Newsom, of course, would love to run this campaign.
00:48:18.000Now, I have been warning since literally January of 2025 that the amount of sort of familial wealth being taken in by members of the Trump family on things like crypto was going to be a problem for President Trump.
00:48:37.000And when you have people who are very close to an administration, who are going around picking up giant stacks of cash in places, that will be a problem for the administration eventually.
00:48:45.000It would be political malpractice for Democrats not to target it, frankly.
00:48:48.000Here was Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, trying to launch that weapon.
00:48:54.000Trump administration is a corruption story.
00:48:57.000And it's taking shape on a daily basis in every way, shape, or form.
00:49:00.000You didn't even mention the $230 million that the DOJ is also trying to extract, not just that $10 billion, now $1.8 billion settlement.
00:49:08.000We've talked a lot about the $400 million plan, which is not $400 million.
00:49:12.000It was over $900 million in the Pentagon budget to retrofit the plan.
00:49:15.000We talk about the eight large scale projects he has in the Gulf and around the rest of the globe.
00:49:21.000Uh, the fact that he quite literally used the tariff regime in order to get those deals done, particularly the one in Vietnam.
00:49:27.000We're talking about the kind of corruption at scale we've never seen in our lifetime.
00:49:33.000Now again, Democrats, they would be politically foolish to ignore At least the implications there.
00:49:40.000And now they are focusing in specifically on a move by the DOJ to set up what's called a weaponization of government fund.
00:49:46.000So the DOJ announced the other day that as part of a settlement agreement with President Trump, President Trump was suing the IRS for having leaked his files and targeting him.
00:49:54.000The Attorney General established the Anti Weaponization Fund to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.
00:50:02.000So again, the plaintiffs, that would be President Trump, Don Jr., Eric Trump, the Trump Organization, they filed suit against Treasury and the IRS in the Southern District of Florida.
00:50:12.000Following the leak of their tax returns, they have agreed, in exchange for the creation of the fund, to drop their pending lawsuit with prejudice and also withdraw a couple of administrative claims, including for damages resulting from the raid on Mar a Lago and the Russia collusion hoax.
00:50:35.000There are no partisan requirements to file a claim.
00:50:37.000Any money left when the fund ceases operations will revert back to the federal government.
00:50:40.000The fund will receive $1.776 billion, right, $1776.
00:50:44.000And it will come from the Judgment Fund, which is a perpetual appropriation allowing DOJ to settle and pay cases.
00:50:50.000On a quarterly basis, the fund sends a report to the AG.
00:50:54.000And they point out there is a legal precedent for this.
00:50:57.000The Obama administration created a fund called the Keeps Eagle Fund, which was a $760 million fund to redress various claims alleging racism against the federal government over a period of decades.
00:51:06.000So let me be clear I don't like any of these slush funds.
00:51:08.000I think all of these slush funds end up being abused.
00:51:10.000Giant bags of money end up being targeted by people who ought not receive that money.
00:51:15.000With that said, the accusation that Trump is setting up the fund to pay off his family is really, really silly.
00:51:20.000So JD Vance was asked about that by the media.
00:51:22.000Was Trump setting up this fund just to pay himself off?
00:51:41.000As you know, the President of the United States has pardoned a number of Democrats who he felt were actually subject to this lawfare.
00:51:48.000I mean, if Hunter Biden wants to apply for this particular fund, he is welcome to.
00:51:52.000It's going to go through a normal process where we vet everything, where we try to identify whether people's claims are actually legitimate.
00:51:58.000But here's the question you say, why should taxpayers fund this?
00:52:03.000Whenever the United States government incurs legal expenses, it pays out those legal expenses.
00:52:08.000When it's settling a lawsuit, it pays out money to settle that lawsuit.
00:52:13.000And the question is Is a dollar of this money going to the Trump administration?
00:52:26.000Now, Todd Blanch, who's the interim AG, he says Democrats have been lying about the nature of the slush fund.
00:52:32.000Here's what he had to say in congressional testimony.
00:52:35.000There's also an individual who, after being pardoned by the president, went on to molest two children.
00:52:45.000And that person actually tried to buy the silence of these children by saying that he would pay them some of the funds that he was hoping to get from your slush fund.
00:52:56.000Can you commit to making the rules so that that person is not eligible for a payout under this fund?
00:53:03.000Well, you're obviously lying in your question because there's no way that this person committed to that.
00:53:09.000The slush fund, as you call it, which it's not, didn't exist.
00:53:40.000The United States releases, waives, acquits, and forever discharges each of the plaintiffs from and is hereby forever banned and precluded from prosecuting or pursuing any and all claims, counterclaims, causes of actions, appeals, or requests for relief, including injunctive money, monetary relief, damages, examinations,
00:53:55.000or similar or related reviews, appeals, debt relief, costs, attorney's fees, etc., etc., whether presently known or unknown, that as of the effective date of the settlement agreement have been or could have been asserted by defendants against any of the plaintiffs or related or affiliated individuals or parties, including trusts, parents, sisters, or related companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries.
00:54:15.000So there's been some time that's passed since the initiation of this lawsuit.
00:54:20.000In that time, there's been an awful lot of activity that has been performed by members of the Trump family.
00:54:25.000And so what the settlement does, it basically says from today, meaning like May 20th, from today back, nothing could be investigated or prosecuted.
00:54:34.000Now, again, I see why the Trump administration would want that.
00:54:36.000I can see why members of the Trump family would want that because obviously, you know, they've been targeted unfairly before.
00:54:44.000At the same time, I get the critique, the critique, which is, well, you know, when you initiated this lawsuit two years ago, you had not done any of these things.
00:54:52.000And Trump's been back in office since then, and some stuff has happened that we want to investigate.
00:54:56.000That is not the most insane critique that I've ever heard.
00:54:59.000Again, I'm generally against slush funds, to be clear.
00:56:15.000I have a buddy who I've been trying to convince to smoke cigars for like 11 years.
00:56:22.000And since you're the persuasion debate champ, I was just wondering what arguments would you make to him to convince him that he should do that, especially on a celebratory occasion like his birthday?
00:57:08.000Again, my understanding is that you won't, but I want some more facts to back that up.
00:57:11.000Second of all, I need to understand the enjoyment of it because the one time that I smoked a cigar, I vomited into a trash can because I swallowed the smoke.
00:57:20.000So I need to be assured that actually it is a pleasant experience and I need someone to actually show me how to properly smoke a cigar, which I do not know how to do.
00:57:28.000And then third, honestly, my throat dries out so much that it's just a problem for me.
00:57:33.000Even when there's cigar smoke in the room, like when we were doing backstage, oh man, I hated it so much, I was basically dried out the entire next day.
00:57:39.000So the answer is no, I'm not going to do that.
00:57:46.000So, everyone talks about the economy, climate change.
00:57:50.000I'm just wondering, why aren't people more worried about population decline?
00:57:55.000Well, I think the reason is because we have all been indoctrinated in the idea that people are the problem.
00:57:59.000Environmentalists have spent an awful lot of time making the case that the actual problem on planet Earth is the people, which is not true.
00:58:20.000Well, when they become richer, they will stop overpopulating because that is what has happened in every single population group in the world on planet Earth.
00:58:28.000Where we do have underpopulation, specifically because of our social welfare systems and also because of our inability to form families or unwillingness to do so, it's going to be a major problem.
