Mentions broader statistics: foreign-born non-citizens make up 8.3% of U.S. workforce, with high representation in construction and agriculture.

Investigation of Senator Mark Kelly The Department of War is investigating Senator Mark Kelly for allegedly making a seditious video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders from President Donald Trump. The video featured Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers encouraging military and intelligence officials to uphold the Constitution and reject unlawful commands. Trump responded by calling the act sedition, demanding punishment. The Department of War reminded retirees they remain subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Possible outcomes: court martial proceedings, recall to active duty, or administrative measures. Kelly defended his actions, citing his military and NASA service record, and accused Trump of intimidation. Other Democrats publicly supported Kelly, with some using harsh language against the investigation. Dismissal of Indictment Against James Comey A Clinton-appointed judge dismissed the DOJ’s indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. Reason: The prosecutor presenting the case was unlawfully appointed, violating federal code and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The indictment accused Comey of making false statements and obstructing Congress. DOJ plans to appeal the ruling, arguing the dismissal was incorrect and justice will proceed. Commentary frames the judge as activist and warns against media narratives suggesting Comey is “off the hook.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Democratic Video Urging Military to Reject Illegal Orders The video features prominent Democrats (e.g., Senator Mark Kelly) advising troops to refuse unlawful commands and consult legal advisors. They emphasize loyalty to the Constitution over any individual president. Republican and Conservative Backlash Trump labeled the video as sedition and called for arrests. Critics argue that telling military members to defy the president undermines the chain of command and national security. Glenn Beck and Trump cite 18 U.S.C. §2387, which criminalizes attempts to cause insubordination or mutiny in the armed forces. Legal and Ethical Debate Democrats defend their stance by referencing historical precedents (e.g., Nuremberg Trials) and popular culture (e.g., A Few Good Men). They argue that troops should never follow illegal orders, though critics claim no evidence of Trump issuing such orders exists. Media and Public Reaction Outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, and commentators such as Bill Maher question the wisdom of the video. The discussion highlights the tension between lawful obedience and political rhetoric. Broader Political Commentary The author portrays Democrats as radical, labeling them “Marxist socialists” and accusing them of undermining U.S. law and governance. Mentions recent elections of self-identified socialists in major cities as evidence of ideological shifts. Foreign Policy Segment The latter part shifts to U.S.-Russia-Ukraine negotiations. Discusses Trump’s 28-point peace plan, European counterproposals, and corruption allegations in Ukraine. Notes concessions like capping Ukraine’s military size and reintegrating Russia into the G8.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation Greene announced she will resign from Congress in January. This is a significant moment for the Republican Party, emphasizing internal accountability and contrasting it with perceived Democratic inaction on radical elements. Greene’s shift from pro-Trump to anti-Israel and anti-capitalist positions is highlighted as a cautionary tale. Donald Trump’s withdrawal of support is portrayed as the decisive factor in her resignation. Minnesota Welfare Fraud Funding Al-Shabaab A report claims Minnesota taxpayers indirectly funded the terrorist group Al-Shabaab through massive welfare fraud. Fraud involved members of the Somali community in Minnesota, exploiting Medicaid programs like Housing Stabilization Services.

The commentary criticizes Democratic leadership and media for ignoring the issue, framing it as both a security threat and a failure of governance.

1. Michelle Obama and Presidential Politics The discussion begins with Michelle Obama’s comments about not running for President of the United States. She stated that America is “not ready for a woman president,” citing sexism and societal immaturity. Her stance is arrogant and condescending, and she argues that Democrats blame election losses on bigotry rather than policy failures. Historical comparisons are made to how Democrats shifted toward the center after losing multiple elections in the 1980s. 2. Sports Gambling and Corruption The conversation shifts to sports betting, particularly prop bets (bets on specific aspects of a game rather than the outcome). Allegations of corruption in Major League Baseball (MLB) and the NBA are discussed, including: Criminal indictments against players accused of manipulating game elements for profit. Example: Cleveland Guardians pitchers allegedly threw pitches to influence bets, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Broader concerns about integrity in sports and the potential need for congressional action are raised. Prop bets create incentives for individual players to cheat because they can control outcomes like pitch speed or fouls. 3. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria The final section addresses religious persecution, focusing on radical Islamic terrorism in Nigeria. Boko Haram is identified as a major perpetrator, responsible for killing over 50,000 Christians since 2009 and destroying thousands of churches and schools. The discussion highlights U.S. legislative efforts to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on complicit officials. Former President Trump’s tweet acknowledging the crisis and calling for action is quoted. The speakers criticize Tucker Carlson for allegedly downplaying or dismissing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, linking this stance to broader issues of antisemitism and extremism.

1. The Oval Office Meeting Event: Trump confirms a meeting with Mamdani, the mayor-elect of NYC. Tone: Highly adversarial; Mamdani is repeatedly labeled as “communist,” “lunatic,” and “nut job.” Purpose: Trump frames the meeting as an effort to “save New York,” while suggesting Mamdani seeks publicity and political leverage. Mamdani’s Agenda: Focus on affordability—rent freezes, free buses, city-owned grocery stores, expanded childcare—criticized as socialist handouts. Backdrop: Rising radical activism in NYC, including pro-Palestinian protests at a synagogue, described as antisemitic and dangerous. This is tied to fears of a “new Mamdani era.” 2.

Wages & Inflation: Wages up 3.8% year-over-year; real wages projected to rise $1,200 annually. Inflation claimed to be under control. Contrast with Biden Era: Biden blamed for 9% inflation and $3,000 wage loss for workers. Foreign Investment: Trump’s “America First” policies credited with attracting $9 trillion in investments from global players (UAE, Qatar, Japan, Apple, EU firms, Saudi Arabia, Nvidia, etc.). Framing: Positions Trump as reversing “Bidenflation” and restoring economic strength. 3. Democratic Party Turmoil Government Shutdown Fallout: Longest shutdown in history sparks internal revolt. Civil War Narrative: Progressive wing (AOC, Tlaib, etc.) vs. establishment (Schumer, Pelosi). Leadership Crisis: Calls for Schumer’s ouster; speculation about AOC running for Senate or higher office. Tone: Democrats are fractured, radicalized, and leaning toward socialism/Marxism. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
