Jack Smith Faces Federal Watchdog Investigation plus Migrant Arrests Surge Despite Low Apprehensions

🏛️ Texas House Democrats Walkout Over 50 Texas House Democrats left the state to deny quorum and block a GOP-led redistricting plan. They traveled to sanctuary states like Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts. Governor Greg Abbott responded with threats of civil arrest, court action, and fines. Democrats argue they are defending democratic norms; Republicans accuse them of abandoning responsibilities, including flood relief efforts. 🗺️ Redistricting and Gerrymandering The GOP redistricting plan could add up to five new Republican-leaning U.S. House seats. Abbott claims the new maps will include majority-Hispanic districts and restore historically significant seats. The commentary criticizes Democratic-led states for extreme gerrymandering while defending Texas's approach. 🏦 Executive Order on “Debanking” The White House is reportedly preparing an executive order to penalize banks for closing accounts based on political beliefs. The order would direct regulators to investigate potential violations of laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Conservative groups, gun rights advocates, and Christian organizations are cited as victims of politically motivated account closures. 💰 Trump’s Crypto Push Donald Trump signed a crypto bill into law, aiming to boost U.S. competitiveness with China. The bill is framed as a way to protect conservatives from being financially excluded. Trump emphasized the importance of crypto and AI in maintaining U.S. economic dominance. 🕵️ FBI “Burn Bags” and Russia Probe Allegations that classified documents related to the Trump-Russia investigation were found in “burn bags” at FBI headquarters. Claims that the Steele dossier was fabricated and used to unjustly target Trump. The narrative suggests a deep-state conspiracy against Trump, with calls for further declassification and public release of documents. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🕵️‍♂️ Whistleblower Claims A whistleblower from the Obama-era intelligence community alleges they were pressured and silenced when they tried to challenge the narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The whistleblower claims: Intelligence assessments were manipulated. Critical context was omitted from the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). There was pressure to align with a predetermined narrative favoring claims of Russian interference. Other foreign influences were ignored. Tulsi Gabbard is cited as having shared and supported the whistleblower’s claims on social media. The hosts argue this supports the idea that the “Russia hoax” was a politically motivated effort to undermine Donald Trump. 📚 Kamala Harris Critique The episode also critiques Kamala Harris’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her new book, 107 Days. The hosts mock: Her explanation for not running for governor of California. Her comments on democracy, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Education. Her perceived lack of leadership and clarity about who leads the Democratic Party. They argue that Harris and the Democratic Party are out of touch with voters and dismissive of democratic outcomes they disagree with. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
