00:01:36.640As America marks its 250th anniversary, we're looking back at two and a half centuries of rebellion and liberty through the eyes of the heroes who defended it.
00:01:45.360The whole thing about this country is freedom. If we're not careful, we could lose that.
00:01:50.720On Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage, we bring you the defining moments of valor that went above and beyond the call of duty.
00:01:58.840Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app,
00:02:01.740Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:02:07.180Today we have the largest economy on Earth.
00:02:10.540We have the strongest military on Earth.
00:02:13.840We have the most powerful technology on Earth.
00:02:17.220We have the greatest culture on Earth.
00:02:19.640And above all, we have the greatest people on Earth.
00:06:24.620Thanks to FBI Milwaukee, a Wisconsin man also pleaded guilty to defrauding nearly 190 investors out of more than $14 million.
00:06:32.320Then out of New Orleans, a Texas man was indicted for running a $4 million investment fraud scam that victimized more than 20 people, he said.
00:06:41.320Noting that a Texas couple had also been indicted for stealing more than $2.5 million from vulnerable victims through a year-long fraud scheme.
00:07:01.560Patel added the FBI Pittsburgh also announced charges against an Ohio woman accused of embezzling more than $460,000 from a law firm that she was working at as a paralegal.
00:07:12.940Seven other individuals, for example, in Las Vegas were arrested for exploiting coronavirus relief programs.
00:07:19.940programs. You can also go all the way up to Alaska, where an individual there was sentenced
00:07:25.280to prison for defrauding those programs as well. Now, the FBI also targeted violent criminals
00:07:31.120taking illegal weapons off the streets. In Birmingham, for example, they had a Operation
00:07:36.640Safer Communities resulted in 36 arrests and seizure of 11 firearms as part of Summer Heat 2.0.
00:07:44.100And after a separate seven-week enforcement effort, FBI Birmingham announced more than 170
00:07:49.640arrests and confiscated an additional 22 illegal firearms by the way democrats should be excited
00:07:56.120about this because they're the ones that hate guns the most so you would think they'd be like
00:07:59.180super pumped about this right no of course not they hate cash patel they hate donald trump
00:08:04.680they hate law and order and so that's exactly why they're against this now patel also revealed
00:08:10.300highlights from an fbi litterock sting resulting in the arrest of 39 people the seizure of 35
00:08:18.000firearms, large quantities of fentanyl that could kill many Americans, as well as a lot of other
00:08:23.240illegal drugs. You can go from Little Rock to Portland. The FBI saw a man sentenced to prison
00:08:28.460for assaulting a federal officer during a violent attack at an immigration and customs enforcement
00:08:33.920facility. That was, of course, you know, those protests that were paid for yet again by the
00:08:38.600radical left. Patel also reminded agents that their work is saving children and multiple child
00:08:45.240predators were sentenced convicted and charged as a result of investigations by the FBI in Tampa,
00:08:52.040then in Boston, Kansas City, and Baltimore. Quote, as of yesterday, for example, one member of 764
00:09:01.740was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He said, as always, we're going to keep getting after it and
00:09:07.720I'll see you next week. Now, you look at that weekly update and that's the reason why I wanted
00:09:13.340you to understand kind of how this works. This is not like a six month update. This isn't a year
00:09:19.540into the year, like update. This is the weekly update. Next week's update will be completely
00:09:25.640different with completely different information. I really, really, really, really, really want you
00:09:32.320to think about that. Okay. You have a FBI that is working right now, by the way, exactly how it's
00:09:39.980supposed to they're allowing the great men and women in uniform to do their jobs um it is something
00:09:47.600that i think should make all of us proud and it's no longer using the fbi for political purposes
00:09:53.840you may remember we found out the fbi was actually briefing and and you go back to politics here
00:10:00.500they were briefing and sending letters to big tech uh for example twitter under the prior
00:10:07.680administration on what they wanted to be censored and when you think about that they were out there
00:10:13.560spending their time sending emails and finding things that were posted online by people like
00:10:18.880mark and myself and saying hey we need you to censor this information there was question there
00:10:25.760were things for example put online like about ivermectin for example and then what was the
00:10:31.300government doing they were then connecting to facebook or meta to x and others and saying and
00:10:37.620instagram say yeah you guys need to take this down like think about that that was what law
00:10:42.480enforcement looked like under biden harris and under obama and then now look at it like we're
00:10:47.620actually going after and taking people down that have committed real serious heinous crimes that
00:10:55.540is something that should make all of us excited and it's again goes back to the promise that was
00:11:02.000made by the president united states america we're going to go after those that we're going to go
00:11:06.620after the bad guys like we're going to go after waste we're going after fraud we're going to have
00:11:10.060to go after abuse we are going to go after these things and and that is exactly why we should be
00:11:18.760so excited and proud of this. Next, story number two. Gavin Newsom investigation is something that
00:11:26.220is insanely underreported on. So let me go to the Sacramento Bee, all right? And I'm just going to
00:11:33.620read for you something that they had earlier today. The DOJ is investigating Gavin Newsom
00:11:38.220and his wife. Here's what's to know. Federal investigators are digging into the finances
00:11:43.140of California Governor Newsom and his wife, the first partner, Jennifer Newsom.
00:11:49.540The governor calls it a, quote, political attack tied to his expected 2028 presidential run.
00:11:54.940The Trump administration's Justice Department is probing the Newsom ties to nonprofits.
00:11:59.740OK, this is what we're talking about a moment ago.
00:12:02.180Taxes and business dealings going back years.
00:12:04.480His wife has occupied a higher profile position compared to the spouse of other state leaders.
00:12:09.980The filmmaker and gender equity advocate has helped shape her husband's policies on issues like reproductive health, the male loneliness and mental health crisis, school nutrition and regulating children's access to social media.
00:12:26.620Now, again, this is coming from the Sacramento Bee.
00:12:28.380And again, this is one of the most underreported stories that if it was a Republican that was in this much trouble as a governor, it would be wall to wall coverage 24 seven.
00:12:37.080The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the First Lady of California's taxes and nonprofits connected to her and the governor
00:12:45.660with several probes ongoing for about a year that originated from whistleblower complaints.
00:12:56.200This isn't some political, you know, OK, we're coming after you because you came after us or we want to retaliate against you type of scenario,
00:13:02.760which is what Gavin Newsom, of course, said.
00:13:04.620no no this is people in and around you internally whistleblowers that complained uh to the u.s
00:13:11.420attorney's office in sacramento all right that's why i'm giving you this from the sacramento b
00:13:16.280then number two on their list says the irs and fbi agents have approached staff friends and
00:13:22.260associates of the newsoms in recent weeks and obtained their bank records that's significant
00:13:27.300the governor's office said the probe intensified after todd blanch became acting head of the doj
00:13:33.100One of the investigations is connected to Dana Williamson.
00:13:36.660Now, this is the screaming, like, this is the fireworks going off moment, so you understand.
00:13:44.680This is the oh-you-know-what moment if you are Gavin Newsom internally, okay?
00:13:50.380One of the investigations is connected to Dana Williamson.
00:13:53.780That is Newsom's former very close friend and former chief of staff.
00:14:17.720This is whistleblowers within the government whistleblowing and then seeing major problems
00:14:22.320and then a Newsom's former chief of staff pleading guilty to federal charges on fraud and lying to the FBI
00:14:29.500and is facing up to 38 years in prison.
00:14:32.600That is what you refer to as someone rolling.
00:14:35.080So this is someone who's trying to spend the rest of their life in jail.
00:14:39.160They know a lot, obviously, about Gavin Newsom, his wife.
00:14:41.620This former chief of staff and clearly is singing like a canary,
00:14:45.220I think is a fair way of putting it.1.00
00:14:47.060Now, the first lady of California, Newsom, earned about $2.3 million1.00
00:14:51.320from the Representation Project nonprofit between 2011 and 2018.0.98
00:14:56.980That's a hell of a lot of money from a nonprofit, $2.3 million.
00:14:59.500A 2021 Sacramento Bee investigation found more than 800,000 donations to the non-profit
00:15:05.360from companies that directly lobbied the governor, meaning her husband.
00:15:09.960You understand where we're going with this, all right?
00:15:12.400So you've got companies that are directly lobbying the governor,
00:15:16.060and all of a sudden, at the same time, you got more than 800,000 dollars in donations
00:15:20.420to the non-profit from companies that needed to do business with
00:15:25.660and were lobbying the governor, who happened to be her husband, all right?
00:15:29.500That included PG&E, AT&T, and Kayser as well.
00:15:36.500Now, just days before the DOJ probe became public, the state's Fair Political Practices Commission actually fined Gavin Newsom.
00:15:45.300Now, this is probably the first time you're even hearing about this, okay?
00:15:48.140So, you know, when there's, like, smoke, there's fire, that's saying, well, now we have fire, not just smoke, all right?
00:15:54.080So just days before the DOJ probe became public, the state's Fair Political Practice Commission fined Gavin Newsom more than $31,000 for failing to report, you ready, $5.6 million in charitable donations on time, with most going to California Fire Foundation during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
00:16:18.420Newsom was late filing reports on so-called behested payments,
00:16:24.300not once, not twice, not 10 times, not 25 times, but 34 times alone in 2025.
00:16:32.240And the governor has previously been fined for failing to disclose $14 million in donations made between 2009 and 2024.
00:16:39.340Now, in a video post on social media, Newsom called Trump the most, quote,
00:16:43.320corrupt president in American history, blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:16:45.460and said the White House is abusing the grand jury process to target him
00:16:48.840because he's considering a 2028 presidential run.
00:17:15.080And when you have whistleblowers in California that are who then get to a point with data that's actually putting the chief of staff of Gavin Newsom in prison and then him and then that person taking a deal.
00:17:29.080And then, of course, the pushback is, well, you just need to understand.
00:17:33.180Right. You just you need to understand that this is all witch hunt.
00:17:37.620That's what Gavin Newsom said his press conference.0.97
00:18:33.600I plan to be flying in an F-5 fighter jet painted in Freedom 250 colors along with four other fighter jets flying over the nation's capital.
