Supreme Court rules Texas can use its newly redrawn congressional map, the Dems in Minnesota have been caught in a massive welfare fraud scheme, and the Democratic National Committee is finally getting caught by the FBI. Plus, the latest on the D.C. pipe bomb plot, and more!
00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, December 5th.
00:00:04.400A big week for the Supreme Court, folks. Wrapping it up. Big, big, big week.
00:00:09.640The Supreme Court this week in a 6-3 ruling allowing Texas to use its newly redrawn congressional maps.
00:00:16.020A panel of federal judges last month blocked the new Texas congressional map and ordered the state to use the 2021 map.
00:00:21.920You know, the one that favored the Marxist Dems.
00:00:23.760The judges claim the newly redrawn map is unconstitutional because it appears to be based on race.
00:00:30.580Well, that's what the Marxist Dems do.
00:00:32.560However, the U.S. Supreme Court this week restored Texas' newly redrawn map.
00:00:36.620Quote, based on our preliminary evaluation of this case, Texas satisfies the traditional criteria for interim relief, according to the Supreme Court.
00:00:45.440Literal Justice Elena Kagan fumed in dissent with whom Sotomayor and Jackson joined.
00:00:50.780Quote, over the course of three months, a three-judge district court panel in Texas undertook to resolve the factual dispute at issue in this application.
00:01:01.660In an acting electoral map slanted towards Republicans, did Texas predominantly use race to draw its newly redistricted lines?
00:01:09.260Hmm, something tells me those Marxist Dems Supreme Court justices wouldn't be saying the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot, would they?
00:01:16.420In late August, the Texas House voted on that new congressional map after the Democrats stonewalled them for more than two weeks.
00:01:23.260The map, passed 19-2 along party lines, was designed to create up to five new Republican-drawn U.S. House seats in anticipation for the 2026 midterms.
00:01:33.900The Democrats in California passed their new congressional map that eliminates five GOP seats in response to Texas' new map.
00:01:40.680The numbers adding up seemingly sort of interesting.
00:01:45.140I'm sure the Democrats didn't mean to do any harm over in California.
00:01:48.520They've done enough of that already, right?
00:01:50.600Speaking of the Supreme Court teeing up a blockbuster ruling, the Supreme Court today agreed to decide the lawfulness of President Trump's plan to roll back the automatic birthright citizenship for nearly anyone born in the United States.
00:02:05.460The case comes out of New Hampshire, expected by the end of June, likely determined conclusively whether President Trump can get rid of birthright citizenship or if it has to stay.
00:02:16.820I think we all know what's constitutional and it should be gone.
00:02:22.840And the problems for Minnesota just keep on getting worse.
00:02:26.380We're now being told, Fox News is reporting, that that $1 billion in stolen Somalian fraud can now be upwards of $8 billion.
00:02:37.440Now, along with that news, several high-profile Minnesota Democrats have been linked to the campaign donations totaling over $53,000 from individuals involved in those Somalian scams, which are calling one of the largest welfare frauds in American history.
00:02:52.760The Minnesota-Somalian community scheme centered around the nonprofit Feeding Our Future siphoned off approximately $250 million in federal taxpayer funds intended to feed children during COVID-19, but were instead used for luxury purchases like mansions and high-end shopping spree.
00:03:09.320The total fraud we were originally told may reach $1 billion.
00:03:12.720We're now being told it can reach $8 billion.
00:03:15.500There's currently a federal investigation, 75 people already indicted, with more than half bleeding guilty to charges, including wire fraud and bribery.
00:03:25.280According to the New York Post, Minnesota's top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Keith Ellison, received $10,000 from businessmen linked to the scandal.
00:03:34.300This includes three $2,500 donations on the same day following a 2021 meeting with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants.
00:03:43.500Folks, I think this is just the start of what we're going to figure out, Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar and the rest of their gang we're up to.
00:03:57.520Speaking of getting caught, the D.C. pipe bomber, Brian Cole, apparently admitted to planting those explosive devices outside the RNC and the DNC.
00:04:05.500Fox News is reporting that, saying he's expressed his doubts about the 2020 election outcome.
00:04:16.340But I think this is the media's way and the mainstream and the left-stream media's way of trying to portray this fella as some sort of MAGA man, because that'll fit their narrative.
00:04:26.860A federal judge this afternoon unsealing Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
00:04:33.440U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith, the Trump appointee, said the law passed by Congress and signed by President Trump overrides any grand jury secrecy.
00:04:42.300The act applies to unclassified records, documents, communications, investigation materials that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:04:49.400Consequently, the later enacted and specific language of the act's Trump rule 6 prohibits on disclosures.
