1. Investigation into Jack Smith
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has reportedly opened an investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Allegations center around potential violations of the Hatch Act, which restricts political activity by government employees.
Senator Tom Cotton requested the investigation, claiming Smith may have unlawfully influenced the 2024 election to harm Donald Trump.
Accusations include:

Rushing Trump’s trial before the Iowa caucuses.
Filing legal briefs close to the election.
Attempting to fast-track Supreme Court rulings.
The investigation is not criminal, but could result in fines or sanctions.

2. Border Security and Migrant Arrests
The document shifts to border security under the Trump administration.
Claims of record-low migrant apprehensions in Texas and nationwide.
Highlights include:

Arrests of Chinese and Uzbek nationals.
Use of canine units and mounted patrols.
Seizures of drugs and stolen vehicles.
Statistics suggest a dramatic drop in border crossings compared to the Biden administration.
Quotes from figures like Kristi Noem emphasize the effectiveness of Trump’s border policies.

3. Whistleblower Allegations on Russia Hoax
A whistleblower has come forward alleging manipulation of intelligence during the Obama administration.
Claims include:

Pressure to support the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) linking Trump to Russian interference.
Threats of retaliation and promises of promotion for compliance.
Use of discredited sources like the Steele dossier.
Tulsi Gabbard is cited as supporting the whistleblower and pushing for transparency.
The whistleblower’s account suggests a coordinated effort to undermine Trump using false intelligence.

Trump’s Numbers Defy the Doom Narrative as Liberal Media Screams Disaster

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/05820206-d9bf-46b1-abad-b3ac0064a951/transcript

1. Affordable Care Act (ACA) Subsidies and Alleged Fraud
Democrats intentionally designed ACA subsidies to expire, framing it as a political strategy to secure votes during elections.
The ACA was never truly affordable and alleges systemic fraud, waste, and abuse within the program, including:

Insurance companies benefiting from guaranteed government payments.
Fraudulent enrollments and improper subsidies (citing a Washington Post report and GAO findings).
The financial burden of extending enhanced subsidies, estimating costs up to $350 billion through 2035, and criticizes subsidies reaching households earning $160,000 annually.
the expiration of subsidies could lead to premium hikes (up to 114%) and increased uninsured rates, framing this as a political weapon for Democrats.
The ACA was a step toward socialized medicine and accuses Democrats of collusion with healthcare donors.

2. Renaming and Revitalization of the Kennedy Center
The second part is an interview with Rick Grenell about the transformation of the Kennedy Center under Donald Trump’s involvement.
Key points include:

Severe deferred maintenance before Trump’s intervention (leaking roofs, broken elevators, collapsing infrastructure).
Trump allegedly secured $250 million for renovations and initiated fundraising for programming.
The center was renamed the Trump Kennedy Center, sparking controversy and accusations of partisanship.
Discussion of programming strategy: moving away from “woke” or niche content toward mainstream, “common sense” performances to attract corporate sponsors and donors.
Criticism of Democrats for boycotting the center despite advocating for arts funding.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ce4e7c60-ec4c-4e75-a6e2-b3ac006294aa/transcript

1. Fentanyl Classified as Weapon of Mass Destruction
Action: President Trump signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a WMD, equating its impact to nuclear or chemical weapons.

Military Measures:
U.S. strikes on drug-smuggling boats since September, killing ~90 people.
Deployment of the world’s largest aircraft carrier and warships in the Caribbean.

Trump offered a $50 million reward for Maduro’s capture.

Internal FBI emails show doubts about probable cause for the 2022 raid.
Agents suggested alternative solutions and warned against optics; DOJ pushed forward regardless.
Allegations:
Evidence tampering and staged photos admitted in court by Jack Smith’s team.
Merrick Garland personally approved the warrant despite internal objections.
Narrative: Portrayed as political weaponization to prevent Trump’s return to office.

3. Trump’s Prime-Time Address
Tone: Optimistic, forward-looking, and celebratory.
Key Announcements:
Tax Relief: No tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security starting 2026; projected largest refund season ever.
Military Bonus: $1,776 “Warrior Dividend” for 1.45 million service members as a patriotic gesture.
Economic Agenda:
Aggressive housing reforms to improve affordability.
Lower interest rates via new Fed leadership.
Expanded energy production to cut costs.
