00:00:41.220I hope you guys are celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
00:00:44.240Let's talk about this gerrymandering to begin the show, why don't we?
00:00:49.020And the Supreme Court with yet another massive ruling.1.00
00:00:52.960And it turns out the justices are finally, finally having enough of Ketanji Brown-Jackson and her stupidity.1.00
00:01:02.140Justice Toledo, the latest to call out the hypocrisy and call out the stupidity of Ketanji Brown-Jackson.1.00
00:01:11.580Now, last week, the Supreme Court issued a decision on the landmark voting rights case in Louisiana.0.98
00:01:17.820Arguments were heard in Virginia's Supreme Court in Scott v. McDougal.
00:01:21.520in the case in louisiana the supreme court held that louisiana's congressional map
00:01:26.560was unconstitutional it was racially gerrymandered under the equal protections clause of the 14th
00:01:31.900amendment now yesterday supreme court ordered that the judgment be issued to the lower courts
00:01:37.420immediately rather than in 32 days which will now allow louisiana to redraw its congressional maps
00:01:44.220immediately in the mcduzel case the state held a referendum vote to temporarily amend the state's
00:01:50.060Constitution to allow a redistricting that would most likely yield a 10-to-1 favored map for the
00:01:57.120Democrats. Currently, the map is 6-to-5 favored of the Democrats in Virginia. President Trump
00:02:03.460received 48% of the vote in the 2024 election. However, to restore fairness, as was worded on
00:02:09.340the ballot, April 21st, Republicans would be limited to less than 10% representation.
00:02:14.820so if that's not gerrymandering then what is 48 of the vote to president trump
00:02:23.680but will now have if they're lucky one seat of representation in congress now i'm sure the
00:02:32.180democrats know this that's how you're represented on the federal level every so many people get a
00:02:40.240congressional seat, that congressman, congresswoman goes to Congress to represent you on the federal
00:02:44.940level. But in the case of Virginians, 48% now have about 1% of the say. So now the Virginia
00:02:56.480Supreme Court has not issued a decision yet on this Scott versus McDougal. However, an injunction
00:03:01.540to halt the referendum in a lower court was left in place, which may suggest a favorable ruling
00:03:05.980against the 10-to-1 gerrymandering favoring the Marxist Dems.
00:03:09.260So there is some possible smooth roads ahead for the Republicans.
00:03:16.320And me, personally speaking, I believe it's not going to be upheld in Virginia.
00:03:22.520And if the Virginia Supreme Court does uphold it, I think it heads right to,
00:03:26.940directly to, the U.S. Supreme Court, which we could already see,
00:03:30.980based on this ruling in Louisiana, it stands no chance.0.67
00:03:39.480So I think they're kind of screwed, if you ask me.
00:03:43.900Now, we're going to be in NOLA tomorrow doing some work on this case.0.65
00:03:50.000You'll have to stay tuned in Louisiana.
00:03:53.100Now, the best part about all of this and the quote-unquote gerrymandering,
00:03:57.360because anytime the Republicans do it, it's gerrymandering.
00:04:00.000so the democrats call it and when the democrats do it they call it redistricting
00:04:04.260funny right so the organizations that get involved in this nonsense the naacp the league
00:04:11.220of women all these organizations now after the u.s supreme court affirmed that racial
00:04:17.680gerrymandering in louisiana the naacp and the league of women voters the power coalition of
00:04:23.120equity and justice sought a temporary restraining order barring governor jeff landy from implementing
00:04:28.960a new map to replace the unconstitutional gerrymandered map that they had pushed before,
00:04:36.320for which absentee ballots were mailed out on April, and early voting began on May 2nd.
00:04:42.680Now, in their petition, plaintiffs stated that there was irreparable harm if their members
00:04:48.700and their votes were canceled because of the government's unlawful executive order
00:04:52.320purporting to cancel the May 16th elections. So in other words, what they wanted is just
00:04:57.240one last chance one last chance to cheat just one last chance kick the can down the road
00:05:04.640so they're tweaking out they said before the governor issued his executive order
00:05:10.860the Louisiana NAACP members had already cast their absentee ballots in the May 16,
00:05:16.2802026 congressional primary and that as a result the governor suspended the elections
00:05:20.360the Louisiana NAACP's efforts to educate voters on the timing of the May 16th election
00:05:25.680they were wasted now with the supreme court's expedited judgment it would be unconstitutional
00:05:32.640for louisiana to allow these elections to go forward given the high court's ultimate decision
00:05:37.120that the current map violates the 14th amendment equal protection clause
00:05:41.160so how could louisiana apply the u.s supreme court's ruling
00:05:48.400when the election as argued in mcdougall early voting has already begun
00:05:53.600Now, one of the central arguments in the McDougal case was that the General Assembly violated Virginia's Constitution by proposing the amendment days before the election for the next General Assembly.
00:06:07.240In Virginia, the Constitution requires that the proposed amendment be agreed to first by the General Assembly, then an election for the House of Delegates must occur before the next General Assembly delegation votes on the proposed amendment for a second time.
00:06:20.800From there, its proposed approval is presented to the voters of Virginia as a referendum.
00:06:34.500Because the House of Delegates didn't pass the proposal the first time until October 31st of 2025, days before the election for the next House of Delegates.
00:06:43.760Petitioners argued that they already cast their ballots, thwarting intent of the framers to allow constituents accountability on how their delegates voted on a proposal.
00:06:53.640Millions of early voters weren't even aware that there was such proposal that was going to be made.
00:06:58.960The kids call it these days fleecing somebody.
00:07:02.160So they were fleeced, the people of Virginia.
00:07:09.400Had no idea that they were going to be lied to.
00:07:12.240But I guess any time you're dealing with a politician, you should expect that you're going to be lied to.
00:07:21.700Now, the hypocrisy is glaring, because in Louisiana, they can't redraw the unconstitutional maps because voting the election has already begun, is what they say.
00:07:29.440In Virginia, they can make an amendment to the Constitution, something that takes generations to do, take away representation from more than 40% of Republican constituencies.
00:09:02.280to make their own district for black people.
00:09:05.380And I think all of this put together, in conjunction with the 2024 election, Black voters have opened their eyes.
00:09:17.300Now, it's always been historically that Black people vote Democrat.
00:09:22.500But over President Trump's three, we'll call it three terms, three elections, the goalpost has moved, the votes have shifted and shifted and shifted further to the right.
00:09:33.020because of messaging, because of Republicans letting the black community know,
00:09:40.760listen, the Democrats don't care for you.0.99
00:09:46.060They use you as a trophy, and they'll do anything they can to.
00:09:51.620President Trump is the one who made sure funding was there for HBCUs,
00:09:59.080historically black colleges and universities.
00:10:01.780President Trump is the one who has continued to try to empower and create jobs for the black community.
00:10:14.500And the community, I believe, has seen that, which is why we see the shift in votes and the number of votes from 16 to 20 to 24.
00:10:23.820And I hope this is just the start of it to the black community, to the Hispanic community, to the Asian community, to realize the Democrats aren't on your side.0.70
00:15:02.660The court should follow the false rule, she insisted.0.99
00:15:09.180It's a wise choice of words from Ketanji Brown Jackson, and sort of hypocritical, that she wants to elude and make slavery references when she's in favor of gerrymandering black districts.
00:15:31.640I think it's just a tiny bit hypocritical for the idiot to be doing something like that.1.00
00:15:38.960Now, this sparked, I mean, flares and flames from the ears of Justice Alito,1.00
00:15:46.240who joined Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and the trio as part of the court's conservative wing,
00:15:51.980calling Jackson's dissent baseless and insulting.
00:15:54.200Quote, the dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered.
00:16:02.800The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional.
00:16:16.880And I think they wrote it like that very plainly and very nicely.
00:16:20.880and not too lawyerly for Ketanji Brown-Jackson
00:16:26.720to understand what they were saying.0.94
00:16:29.340Listen, Ketanji, the map is unconstitutional.
00:16:33.480How the heck do you want to hold elections
00:17:15.740And I think it's very nice of Alito to say things nicely for her because she's very lost.
00:17:29.020Let's turn to some news on Capitol Hill, folks.
00:17:31.080Senator Rand Paul, probably the biggest thorn in the side to MAGA on the Republican side, warning that the DOJ only has one week left to charge Fauci for lying to Congress about gain of function.
00:17:45.740ran paul in a post on twitter writing quote the doj has one week left to charge anthony fauci
00:17:50.960for the worst cover-up in modern medical history lied to congress about funding gain of function
00:17:56.100research in wuhan millions died trillions were spent and fauci walked away with book deals
00:18:00.960and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs i read my criminal referral to the doj because
00:18:06.680the evidence is overwhelming justice has been delayed for far too long now in 2021 fauci
00:18:12.840class for Rand Paul. During Senate hearings, Fauci looked the American people in the eye and
00:18:16.880denied that the NIH had gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. Months later, the NIH was forced
00:18:24.640to admit that they did indeed very well fund research. Fauci swore up and down under oath
00:18:30.500that it never happened. Back in July of 2023, Rand Paul formally criminally referred Fauci to the
00:18:36.720DOJ. Then in 2025 of July, Paul announced he would reissue the criminal referral, this time to the
00:18:42.600trump doj after it was revealed that fauci had only received a shady auto pen pardon from biden
00:18:49.820that wasn't even really properly approved now the new york times reviewed some of the emails from
00:18:56.380national archives that were handed over to the trump doj as part of their investigation into
00:19:00.880the auto pen scandal and confirmed fauci's pardon was not approved by biden but rather by chief of
00:19:06.540staff of the White House, Jeff Zeitz. So why is the DOJ not challenging it? And it would be nice
00:19:14.280if Rand Paul spent a little bit more time working on this as he spent going after Mark Wayne Mullen
00:19:22.880or the rest of the Republicans or President Trump with his little butt boy, Thomas Massey.
00:19:29.900It would be nice. Maybe we'd get some indictments. But Rand Paul has clouded the water so much0.74
00:19:34.940because of his Trump derangement syndrome, that he's been unable to do so.
00:19:40.140Folks, let's take one more quick break here on The Great America Show.
00:21:12.060And yet, I bet you there's a lot of people, because you said the Times attacked you and tried to get me to throw you under the bus.
00:21:19.100For them, you're just some sort of right winger.
00:21:23.560Because you won't go, the same thing they say with me, and I'm not.0.98
00:21:27.120Because I'm saying that girls shouldn't be cutting off their breath.0.94
00:21:29.080Right. Just because I won't go along with the nonsense. I won't go along with the crazy. I am somehow in your view. You want to put me in this other category. And I've said this before, like they've driven a lot of people like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, people who are not conservative people, who are actually liberal heroes for a long time.0.99
00:21:51.620they've driven them into the conservative side because they were so like unacceptably not super0.95
00:22:01.220woke just because they wouldn't go along with the bullshit yeah and they're not going to do it to me0.97
00:22:07.060i don't think they're going to do it to you you know you're not going to get me onto your side0.99
00:22:11.260but you know what you're not going to stop me from calling you out when you're crazy because0.95
00:22:16.240There is a lot of crazy. Ask Donald Trump. It got him elected.0.99
00:22:20.840But also what I find interesting about like extreme Bill Maher thinks he understands it.
00:22:26.360Something tells me his ratings must have taken a little bit of a tank.
00:22:34.040Perhaps the reason why voters are flocking to the Republican Party is for some of the reasons that President Trump laid out yesterday on what he's doing for the American people.
00:22:42.980Last summer, I proudly signed the great, big, beautiful bill, the largest tax cuts in the history of our country and boosting millions of small businesses.
00:23:00.820Boosting millions of small businesses, we passed no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security for our seniors.
00:23:11.440And we add that to the package that we approved in my first term.
00:23:15.380We had the best financial years in the history of our country in my first term.
00:23:20.080And I think we're going to blow them away this term.
00:23:22.820You know, in this term, we have $18 trillion being invested in our country.
00:23:27.320And if you look at the last administration, they had less than $1 trillion for four years.
00:23:32.860We have $18 trillion during an 11-month.
00:23:35.400The 12-month hasn't come in yet in terms of the numbers.
00:23:40.000But in 11 months, $18 trillion investments.
00:23:43.240We have auto plants being built all over the country, AI plants.
00:23:47.000We're doing, and we're leading China in AI.
00:23:49.940And I'm going to go see President Xi in two weeks.
00:23:52.160I look forward to that, but I'll say I'm leading.
00:23:56.540We have friendly, we have very friendly competition.
00:24:00.580But actually, it'll be a very important trip.
00:24:04.020We provided 100% expensing and bonus appreciation, which is tremendous.
00:24:10.000One of the biggest things that you have. I mean, it's people have no idea how big that is.
00:24:14.880The businesses do so that businesses can deduct 100 percent of the cost of new facilities, equipment and capital investment in the first year.
00:24:23.440It used to take 38 years of deduction. Now you get it done in one.
00:24:27.020You can take one so you can expand. I think that's what made us so successful in the first term.
00:24:32.760And now we have it for a 10 year period. So you have it for a while.
00:24:36.160I really was going to make it for a one year period. That would mean you spend all your money immediately.
00:24:40.000And now, unfortunately, I gave you too much time.
