00:08:18.000But on Polymarket, you actually get real odds on what's likely to happen.
00:08:23.000Polymarket is a prediction market where people trade on real events back and forth, elections, debates, policy moves, just about everything.
00:08:33.000There's a polymarket for just about everything.
00:08:35.000And it doesn't stop at politics, guys.
00:08:37.000There are markets on the economy, tech, sports, pop culture, and much more.
00:08:53.000I dealt with this in politics where people are doing polling every day, you know, and they ask a question 97 times till they get the answer of whoever's paying them for the answer that they want, rather than actually trying to get to the truth.
00:09:11.000I think you'll be really impressed with the accuracy.
00:09:14.000And don't forget about our friends over at the Birch Gold Group.
00:09:17.000Now, there's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stocking for Christmas, but Birch Gold thinks you deserve silver.

00:09:55.000Again, text Don Jr., my initials, you know, D-O-N-J-R to the number 989898 today.
00:10:03.000And now, guys, let's get into all of the top headlines.
00:10:09.000I do want to start with the terror attack in Australia because the more we learn, the more absolutely sick and terrifying this story is getting.
00:10:21.000On the first night of Hanukkah, over a thousand Jewish families gathered at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where two gunmen opened fire from a footbridge overlooking the celebration.
00:10:48.000So we're in the pub just having a few drinks, waiting for one of our friends' daughters, actually.
00:10:55.000And I was outside on the phone at around 4, 6, 6.45 to around 6.51.
00:11:02.000And then all of a sudden, all the police cars were flying by.
00:11:05.000And usually when you're around Bondi and there's a bit of police around, I presumed it was a shark attack or something happening down on the beach.
00:11:13.000I didn't expect what I then found out a few minutes later when there was a security guard outside the pub basically telling us there was someone with a gun and people were being held hostage.
00:11:27.000Was what we were being told in the pub at that stage.
00:11:29.000So, we all got told to get inside the pub.
00:11:34.000Uh, more news could start to filter through that there had been an attack down on the beach.
00:11:40.000Um, you know, we didn't really understand what was going on at that stage.
00:11:44.000Then, more and more news started to transcend that it was um a terror attack.
00:11:49.000That was the news that was hitting everyone around where we were.
00:11:53.000Um, and then it wasn't much long after that they shut the doors and um they locked people, obviously, that were in the restaurant and the pub inside and told us all to stay.
00:12:03.000Um, and we didn't really know what was going on.
00:12:05.000Then, there was more news came that there was so much happening on social media that they said that there was more attacks going on around Sydney and around the city, which thankfully wasn't proven to be the case.
00:12:16.000But for a period, we didn't have a clue really what was going on, um, and we were just locked inside this restaurant.
00:12:24.000The terrorist attackers were a father and a son.
00:12:28.000The father was shot and killed by police.
00:12:31.000The son is in custody in critical condition.
00:12:34.000But in the midst of this horror, there was a hero, a really brave guy, who confronted the gunman head-on because a local fruit store owner saw the gunman, rushed him from behind, tackled him, and wrestled the gun out of his hands.
00:13:29.000They were already on the radar of Australian intelligence agencies, and the father was from Pakistan and should have never been in the country again to begin with.
00:13:40.000And I'll spotlighted a tweet yesterday about this: how Australia let this guy in.
00:13:44.000Okay, they let these guys in, but banned.
00:13:47.000Remember when they banned people like tennis superstar Novak Djokovic because he wouldn't get the vaccine?
00:13:53.000I mean, they banned Novak Djokovic from showing up to Australia, but they let these guys in.
00:14:02.000This is how far so many of these formerly great countries have fallen.
00:14:08.000And guys, not shockingly, it gets even worse because now some Australian officials want to find even more ways to inflict gun control on their citizens in a country that already has some of the most restrictive gun laws of anywhere in the world.
00:14:31.000Why would you want to make it that much harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves when we all know the bad guys are always going to find a way?
00:14:43.000And these sorts of threats aren't just thousands of miles away.
00:14:49.000This morning, the FBI announced that they foiled a terrorist plot in Los Angeles, arresting four alleged members of a radical pro-Palestinian extremist group who were planning coordinated New Year's Eve bombings across Los Angeles.
00:15:06.000Check out AG Pambandi talking about it.
00:15:09.000Breaking news, 10 minutes past the hour.
00:15:11.000This news happening out of Los Angeles.
00:15:13.000The FBI now reports that it's disrupted a planned New Year's Eve terror attack in Los Angeles.
00:15:22.000The FBI identified them as members of a pro-Palestine extremist group.
00:15:26.000They're suspected of planning coordinated IED attacks targeting five different locations in Los Angeles.
00:15:33.000But based on the reporting now, that plot has been foiled.
00:15:37.000We will wait for more out of LA or out of Washington, D.C. for what the FBI has to say about that developing story.
00:15:44.000And yeah, well, you know, one of the things that crossed my mind as all of these stories were developing is say a prayer for the first responders, right?
00:15:51.000The ones who are first on the scene, who have to see some of these horrific things that are hard to unsee, and they help protect people and comfort people by getting the information out there to them as quickly as possible.
00:16:01.000They're under a lot of pressure, too, when you hear stories like this.
00:16:04.000Now, the suspects identified are apparently members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front.
00:16:35.000They were also planning to target ICE agents and their vehicles.
00:16:39.000The FBI arrested them in Lucerne Valley, California, where they were believed to be testing their explosive devices before the planned attacks.
00:16:49.000Now, I want you to think about this for a second.
00:16:53.000Under the Biden administration, the FBI was too busy investigating the parents at school board meetings, right?
00:17:01.000People who charged MAGA swag at a Baz Pro shops on their credit card, a grandmother who was, you know, I don't know, within 500 miles of Washington, D.C. on January 6th.
00:17:11.000You know, they didn't bother with the pipe bomber, none of that stuff.
00:17:13.000They were too busy doing that and raiding the homes of pro-life activists than they were trying to stop these people.
00:17:21.000Under my father and Kash Patel, the FBI is actually doing its job, finding terrorists, actually going after the bad guys for a change, and playing for keeps, quite literally.
00:17:36.000Because last week, in a joint effort between the FBI, the DOJ, and the Department of War, the United States seized a massive oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
00:17:50.000Check out this footage of how it happened and what went down.
00:18:39.000When a reporter asked what would happen to the oil, my father said, we keep it, I guess.
00:18:45.000Which is, by the way, what he's been consistently saying about all the trillions we've spent in the Middle East and how maybe we pay ourselves back from these efforts to stop terrorist regimes from taking over these countries.
00:19:13.000They're bringing oil to places they're not supposed to.
00:19:15.000They're breaking international laws and maritime laws all day long.
00:19:18.000They used the oil revenue to poison Americans with drugs, violence, and crime.
00:19:26.000It was carrying approximately 2 million barrels of Venezuelan crude, roughly half of which was headed to Cuba.
00:19:36.000The tanker and many others have been sanctioned for years because of its involvement in illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations.
00:20:40.000Do you endorse this idea of more seizures and possibly even a blockade?
00:20:45.000Look, I absolutely support President Trump's strategy, and we, the Venezuelan people, are very grateful to him and to his administration, because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere.
00:21:01.000And that's why, and I say this from Oslo right now, I had dedicated this award to him, because I think that he finally has put Venezuela in where it should be in terms of a priority for the United States national security.
00:21:20.000This is what happens when you actually have a commander-in-chief who isn't afraid to act.
00:21:24.000My father promised to take on the cartels and the narco-terrorists, and he's delivering.
00:21:31.000It's also why we have a new defense strategy that prioritizes our own neighborhoods, our backyard, our regions, our hemisphere, instead of ignoring it.
00:21:41.000And while the neocons and the Democrats are outraged that we're taking out drug boats and illegal shadow vessels, I think the average American person understands how important that is.
00:21:53.000What happens in the Caribbean matters a lot more to the lives of common sense Americans than endless wars in the Middle East or the Ukraine.
00:22:03.000And I say that just as a matter of fact, even if it makes the regime media and the swamp meltdown, which of course it will, because honestly, there's probably a lot less money in sending a small missile to take out a drug boat or using the Coast Guard and the Department of War to capture a vessel and, I don't know, maybe pay us back for those returns, right?
00:22:24.000Get 2 million barrels of oil at 60 bucks a barrel, $120 million.
00:23:10.000He's in there with adults at events and photos that have literally been released publicly because one was actually, I think, a Hawaiian Tropic contest.
00:23:17.000These are adult women who said he was gentlemanly and nothing but nice, but it doesn't matter.
00:23:24.000If you block out their face, all of a sudden, oh, they must be minors.
00:24:59.000Other Democrats have sent letters saying they knew nothing about Epstein, which would hold in court.
00:25:05.000If something never comes out that they did know something, then they've committed perjury there.
00:25:10.000But the Clintons have never responded.
00:25:12.000They're the one group in this investigation that's never had to answer questions in front of a credible reporter, and they've never certainly answered questions from attorneys or members of Congress.
00:25:24.000So we expect the Clintons to come in, or I expect the Clintons to be met with the same faith that Bannon and Navarro were met with when the Democrats were in control.
00:26:04.000And now, House Overchief Chairman Comer announced he's launching contempt of Congress proceedings against the Clintons if they don't show up for depositions this week.
00:26:16.000It's been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed, and they have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the committee's efforts to schedule their testimony.
00:26:59.000I guess we should just never cooperate with these guys ever again when they're in power because we've seen what they're willing to do.
00:27:05.000And speaking of Democrats dodging accountability, Tim Walt and Minnesota Democrats are embroiled in a massive fraud scandal involving the state's Feed Our Future program and a massive syndicate of Somali scammers, many of whom are linked to terror group Al-Shabaab.
00:27:25.000We've covered it extensively, and there's nearly 100 different bad actors who have either been convicted or indicted in the years-long criminal operation.
00:28:55.000That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing civil war and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota and this country better.
00:29:33.000The scandal also implicates Congresswoman Elon Omar, obviously from Somalia, seems to be one of the great champions of Somalia and some of the other things that people around her, even in Somalia, have said, where, you know, she's not doing the bidding of America.
00:30:08.000And the web of corruption runs deep throughout the entire Democrat machine.
00:30:13.000Check this out to see how bad it actually is.
00:30:16.000Under the nose of Elon Omar, Tim Waltz, Attorney General Keith Ellison.
00:30:22.000We see a web of connections between them and those directly involved in the fraud.
00:30:28.000For example, Elon Omar, alleged enabling, introducing the 2020 Meals Act, which was ultimately subject to fraud, held a campaign victory party at the Safari Restaurant.
00:30:39.000That's where one of the men who run that restaurant has associations to the convicted individuals.
00:30:45.000And then there's Tim Waltz, House Oversight Investigation Role in his role as governor, or Keith Ellison, the attorney general.
00:30:51.000Job is to enforce the law in Minnesota, but instead, he's getting donations after meeting with the Feeding Our Future representatives, the Feeding Our Future, the biggest known yet part of this entire fraud, excuse me, theft ring.
00:31:06.000The executive director of Black Lives Matter, by the way, over in Oklahoma City has now been charged with wire fraud and money laundering.
00:31:13.000The organization raised more than $5 million in 2020, but she is accused of pocketing more than half of that instead of using it to bail out people for protesting in support of BLM.
00:31:23.000No, she pocketed allegedly most of that money.
00:31:42.000It's yet another reason why common sense and common sense immigration policy and common sense oversight matters more than ever before.
00:31:53.000And on the border, new numbers show the Trump administration is delivering bigly, hugely, huge with the capital Y. DHS just released the numbers for November showing record low border crossings.
00:32:08.000Now, back in December 2023, under Biden, 336 illegal aliens were pouring into America every hour, 336, every hour.
00:32:21.000Thousands a day, tens of thousands a week, hundreds of thousands a month.
00:33:45.000Donald Trump's like the biggest humanitarian in the world.
00:33:48.000He's sending people back home so they can be with their families over the holidays.
00:33:55.000And I think he should be commended for it.
00:33:57.000Before I wrap up, though, I do want to talk about something special on Saturday, where my father attended the 126th Army-Navy football game in Baltimore.
00:34:09.000Watch here to hear some of the sights and sounds from these great Patriots and people in attendance.
00:34:31.000And everyone in attendance, welcome to Baltimore for the Army-Navy football game.
00:34:39.000My name is Tim Rich, and it's our cruise honor to be working this game today with you all.
00:34:44.000Joining me for the coin toss, it is my honor and privilege to introduce the commander-in-chief, our president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
00:35:02.000Mr. President, thank you for your leadership and your continued support of our service members and our veterans.
00:39:20.000There were other people that were there that were just standing around looking.
00:39:23.000But, you know, if it wasn't for him, his family, I would definitely not be here today.
00:39:31.00025 years ago, Ronald Winchester played his final Army-Navy game for the midshipmen.
00:39:37.000Well, it's a thrill that your son is out there.
00:39:39.000And Highlight was playing against his best friend.
00:39:42.000And as soon as the game was over, was back to being brothers and going to conquer things together.
00:39:47.000But less than a year later, the world changed forever.
00:39:52.000In Iraq, an explosion took his life while he was guarding a convoy, serving with the quiet bravery that had defined him since the day he left Annapolis.
00:40:02.000My brother had his troops waiting over the bridge, but he told them, do not come.
