Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything, like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. In today's video, President Trump just officially established a task force to root out fraud in our country. Secondly, John Cornyn and Greg Kasar sparred in front of Austin Airport over TSA agents,

and women athletes are still under attack in our country. Let's go to the vice president first. Here's what he had to say about fraud in our country and what he plans to do about it. Take a listen. Mr. Vice President, you announced a couple weeks ago in the EEOB that the administration would be halting Medicaid payments to Minnesota until the state decided to take pervasive steps to product fraud. Do you have an update to that specific situation?

Do you think that that could be a model? moving forward for the task force for states that won't cooperate. So I don't have an update there. Dr. Oz is looking to try to work with the authorities in Minnesota to try to figure that situation out. But yeah, I think there are two obvious tools that we have to stop the fraud that's happening against the American people. One is that when we see evidence of fraud, we stop the payments. Pretty simple, right? We know that the American people are being defrauded. Let's try to stop the payments and ensure that whoever's making these payments is actually complying with some basic due diligence and making sure the payments

are going to the right place. I think the same thing. I think the The second tool, of course, as we have, as the President mentioned, is we have law enforcement options. We know that some of this fraud is just bad. Some of it's criminal. And the President's talked about this a lot in the past. I don't need to repeat it, but it's worth noting that so many times when we find people engaged in really, really bad conduct, you know, the local judge or the local grand jury tries to stop it. One of the cool things about what we're doing is we're trying to take some innovative steps to ensure that when we find criminal fraud, we can actually prosecute it all the way to the way to the court. So it's official. The president has signed the executive order to establish this task force, which is being headed up by the fraud, czar, Vice President Jady Vance. Now, as the president said during this, you know, executive order signing that this ain't like Kamala Harris situation where she was appointed something. She didn't really do anything about it and then try to walk her back after the fact. So many things that this White House can do to cut down on fraud, but they will face resistance, particularly in blue states. There's no doubt.

about that. No doubt about it. And we know what those states happen to be. I want to quickly go to this clip from the vice president because although this isn't about fraud, this is about overall what's been happening, which is the conflict with Iran. The reporter point blank just asked him, hey, is there a difference of opinion between you and the president? Here's what the vice president had to say about that. Take a listen. Yeah, Jeff. Go ahead. First, Mr. Vice President, Democrats are already calling you the fraud czar. What's your reaction to that title? And then second. Good time.

Second, given your past skepticism of foreign adventurism, are you completely on board with the current war in Iran? So I like frauds are. It's certainly what we're going to do. And look, we have to do it. As the president said, this is a problem that is festered in this country for far too long, and far too few people have actually wanted to do anything about it. That's what makes this administration different,

is that we actually tackle the problems the American people have been confronting. So I'm very happy about it. And look, I think that. I know what you're trying to do, Phil. You're trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration between me and the president. What the president said consistently, going back to 2015, and I agreed with them, is that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. We have taken this military action under the president's leadership. I think all of us, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, should pray for a success and pray for the safety of our troops.

That's the approach that I've taken. Make it as successful as possible. So there's no hesitation given your past statements with the current operative? What do you mean there's no hesitation with my past statements? Given your skepticism of war on terrorism, you were a critic of the global war on terror previously. Well, I think one big difference, Phil, is that we have a smart president, whereas in the past we've had dumb presidents, and I trust President Trump to get the job done, to do a good job for the American people, and to make sure that the mistakes the past aren't repeated, absolutely.

People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, in-line skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked the Rachel.

I agree with him. I think at the end of the day, the results are going to tell a story. I think there are plenty of different opinions in that administration. I think that some of the lessons have been learned based on the approach that we're seeing currently, whether that was with Venezuela or this. But again, we'll let the results do the talking, of course. But I just want to show that to you because I thought that was interesting, obviously, because people think there is some problem between him and the president.

Doesn't seem to be one in my opinion. All right, one more clip about this fraud. This is Stephen Miller, exposing Democrats for funneling billions of dollars to illegal aliens. Watch. But what we found since President Trump came into office is that the Democrats have set up the system to funnel hundreds of billions and ultimately trillions of dollars to migrants that are in our country oftentimes from places like Somalia. So as an example, ICE recently asked a group of illegal immigrants that were in detention

whether or not they were receiving Medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and volunteered that they were on Medicaid. Just volunteered that. These aren't the ones who were hiding it. They also asked illegal aliens how they paid their medical bills, and they said that if they don't have Medicaid, they go to hospitals, they get free care there, and they bill it to the taxpayers. So they aren't paying for any of their own health care in this country.

It's just one example. And we've seen this over and over and over again. So under President Trump's leadership, and then, of course, with JD and the head of the FTC, Andrew Ferguson, we are going to see the first ever effort in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars that were stolen from taxpayers. All right, let's pause for a minute. So I could share this message with you guys from today's. sponsor upside. Now, who doesn't want to earn a little extra cash on your everyday purchases?

All right, let's go through my top three list on what is the root cause of fraud, waste, and abuse in our country. Number one is Congress. They're at the top of the list. They are the ones who are appropriating the money to begin with. Number two, illegal immigration. That entire situation in the Biden administration amplified the level of fraud in our country. And number three, whether it is the district attorneys or the actual judges, I'd say they are behind a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse because they refuse to hold people accountable who have been caught defrauding the federal government or our tax dollars as an example. All right, let's go to our next story.

John Cornyn and a Democrat got into a shouting match outside of Austin International Airport. Now, this comes as DHS is still shut down. Democrats refuse to fund TSA, FEMA, et cetera. And the pressure is just mounting at this point. I mean, I don't know how many more days they're going to continue to risk not only the safety, but the livelihood of these TSA agents. Now, let's go straight to the confrontation, and then we'll get to the letter from the CEOs, from these major airlines, and what they had to say to Congress.

Congress. Watch this. And Senator Cornyn and the Republicans blocked it. So I'm kind of confused about why Senator Cornyn would be here having a press conference at the airport about funding TSA when it's him who has blocked the funding. Congressman, you know that's not true. The Democrats have blocked it to begin with with the DHS ICE funding. That's what this is all about. I'm there. I'm there in the building. Yeah. Ice funding Democrats have voted against. Then the Democrats brought forward a bill to fund TSA and the Republicans blocked it. That's the truth. There's only one truth.

No matter what, Donald Trump. There's two truths to this. No, there's one truth. One truth. The bill to fund TSA was rejected by the Republicans. Rudy is making a point, as the senator does, that there was a bill to push ICE funding forward without reforms and TSA in it. And we said, no, no, we're not going to pass this ICE funding until we get reforms.

Let's just fund TSA. And Senator, according to the Republicans, said no. They could go tomorrow to Washington, D.C. right now, excuse me. You can go straight to Washington, D.C. And join with me to fully fund TSA. Senator Corning should put his money where his mouth is. Hey, Senator. All right.

All right, let's just pause it right there. We will get to this little confrontation. But first, Representative Greg Casar, all right? This guy is a complete joke. I mean, I'm telling you, this is their new strategy. Let's just fund TSA only. And that's it. Wait a minute.

What about FEMA and all these other agencies under DHS. Again, if you're going to fund TSA, just fund the whole thing. And we already know the strategy that they're using is unethical. One can argue it's immoral. One could argue it's actually toxic to the actual system here of our political landscape as far as how bills should be passed and appropriate, all this stuff. I mean, we can say that until we're blue in the face. But the bottom line is they made up their mind. They refused to do anything about DHS. But now they're willing to fund TSA all of a sudden because the backlash is real. Remember, it was just two weeks ago. They didn't want to hear anything about TSA. All right. Let's go to the confrontation. John Cornyn and Greg Kassar. Watch.

Why don't you tell your dental press to vote to pay these four-pays? Let's do it. Let's do it. No, you do it. No, no. I voted short time to time again. Let's go. Let's talk for a second. There's a bipartisan bill to funds just the TSA. Can we do that together? Not acceptable. You want a fun? You want a lot? terrorist attacks like we see in that on 6th Street. You want those to continue? These people are keeping us safe. Tell the Democrats to vote for funding the DHS.

Let's stop by each one. Would you fund the TSA with you? Sounds like instead of bringing people burgers, he should bring them their paychecks, which involves funding TSA. He's refused to fund TSA, so he's bringing them burgers. Yeah, and then, okay, so what happens from there, the representative Kassar goes on some rant about John Cornyn trying to do a photo up essentially, listen, the senator was bringing burgers to TSA agents. What were you doing there?

Didn't seem like you were doing anything for them. Okay, so that's number one. And number two, you guys shouldn't even be at the airport because the TSA agents should have been funded already. In fact, when it was a partial government shutdown, that should have been your initial proposal. Hey, listen, we will only fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, et cetera. Let's go ahead and knock that out now. If you had did that from day one, we might believe you, and you might have a little bit more credibility in regards to your guys' position. I'm talking about Democrats. All right. So anyways, this takes us to this letter from major airline CEOs.

They're calling it out. I mean, they're fed up as well. They know this is bad for business overall and safety. Here's what they had to say earlier this morning. Take a look. Frustration is boiling over. The CEOs of major airline companies are now criticizing members of Congress for us. They say, once again making air travel a political football in another government shutdown.

The heads of American, Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, United Airlines, among others, are calling for lawmakers to come together to find a solution. In an open letter, they write, Americans who live in your districts and home states are tired of long lines at airports, travel delays, and flight cancellations caused by shutdown after shutdown. Now it's up to you, Congress, to move forward on. bipartisan proposals that will get federal aviation workers, including TSA officers, U.S. Customs clearance officers at airports, and air traffic controllers paid during shutdowns. Yeah, see, there's three big groups that are negatively impacted by this.

Group number one would be the actual airlines themselves. Group number two would be the TSA agents, employees, and three would be travelers. Everybody gets the short end of the stick here. Okay. This is not good for anyone. But this is what Democrats love to do. It's on their record, 43-day government shutdown. So let's hear from travelers.

We often want to play these clips because I think their voices have meaning and value. Here is CNN asking a few of them. Take a listen. I feel for the people behind me, they have been upset. We've seen folks crying, frustrated about how they're going to get on their trips, how to get home to their kids. You can understand all those frustrations. And at the same time, there have been people who are bringing food to TSA workers

because they want to make sure they have some lunch to be able to eat. When I step out of the way here, you can see the line behind me. So far, 300 delayed flights, 127 cancel flights, and numerous people missing their flights. Some folks standing in line, you could actually see them waving their hands at some point because they realize they're not going to make it. On top of all the issues that we've talked about here, one of the things that's really frustrating passengers is there's a timer here that lets people know online how long the lines are going to be. That system seems to have malfunctioned.

And so when you walk up here, it says a six minute wait time. Well, I can visually see that it's not going to be six minutes to get you through this line. So some folks are being impacted because they think they have time to get here and they're getting here too late. Now, according to Fox News, they are reporting that over 26,000 flights have been canceled or delayed because of two disasters. Number one, the severe weather that's occurring on the eastern coast or the eastern side of the country. country combined with TSA staffing shortage, the shutdown, they're calling out, they're quitting, and a long line. So it's a big, big problem, and it's only going to get worse as the day goes on. Let's continue. Take a listen to a passenger that we talked to just a short time ago about this

pinch. So what was your reaction when you turned the corner? Oh my God, are these the lines for TSA? That's crazy. Insane. We had to wait like an hour to even check our bags and it was like a two-minute process. I could like punch through a while right now. It's ridiculously frustrating to know that, you know, and it's not their fault because they're not getting paid and they're going to come in here. I wouldn't do it either. But just ask the layers of your frustration.

I'll ask the layers of you're just trying to buy your time back, have a little piece of vacation from the Matrix and the Matrix still gets you. There's no doubt that it's a frustrating situation. You know, I'd wish the members of Congress would have that same level of frustration and fight and energy that you're seeing from TSA agents and travelers. But it doesn't seem like to me that that's the way they feel based on their rhetoric, of course. And again, nobody wins in this particular situation.

So let's go to transportation analysts here. She went on to CNN earlier today and told them exactly what they did not want to hear. Take a listen. Well, my message to Congress is if you don't remember why we have the TSA and why they have to be paid and why it's completely irresponsible to use them as a political football, call nine-on-one and check yourself into the hospital because you have total amnesia. This is absolutely absurd, and we do this time and time again. And unlike, you know, when the air traffic control was under the shutdown or they went to work,

but they didn't get paid. And the secretary was right. I mean, they make their higher paid federal employees. They have more of a safety net. The TSA agents are not. Of course, they're better paid, better trained, and have background checks, unlike before September 11, But that's precisely why we have them. And for Congress to just use them as a political football, especially now when it's all over the news that the sleeper cells have been activated, this is why we have the TSA paid.

Now, I'll be waiting for that poll coming out of CNN from Harry Enton that shows how this is a big loss for Democrats overall in Congress. As we talked about earlier today, the polling for the president is still higher than Republicans and definitely higher than Democrats. So I don't think there's much expectation that this is going to be a positive outcome for any political party. And so I don't understand why they must sabotage DHS because they think they're going to get a win here. It just isn't going to happen. Let's go to Carl Rove earlier. Fox News made this point about Democrats. Take a listen.

We got to do something about this. The American public is extremely frustrated with what is happening. Yeah, absolutely. Look, shutdowns are losers for anybody who is provoking a shutdown. down. This is a big loser, in my opinion, for Democrats. People don't like seeing those long lines. There's been no compelling case made by the Democrats as to why the reforms that they are suggesting are so essential. The public has focused on those pictures, and they're focused on the stories they're hearing from people who are going through that process. And they're

also concerned and will be increasingly concerned about what would happen to our country if at our borders or inside the United States, Homeland Security was not able to meet its responsibility. Message to the Democrats, find yourself an off-ramp, and events are about ready to give you a very good off-ramp that will allow you to get out of this hole and yet even turn this argument on your behalf into something that's durable and might have an impact on the election. But if they keep doing what they're doing, this is a problem. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that all works out for them, because if history tells us, they won't take his advice. They're going to continue to drag this out for as long as practically as they can until they start getting direct calls from their constituents who are supposed to be just as radical as they are because now they're realizing, oh, this is not actually tenable.

I mean, this is not a sustainable situation whatsoever. Next story. Thinking about something that is not sustainable, it's this ridiculous story about a pro-trans Arizona senator who gets exposed for not only lying but shaming other individuals who choose. not to compete against a biological male. And I'm talking about women athletes in that state. This story is blowing up. And I want to talk about it. Let's go here.

So much for the whole women supporting women thing from Utah State volleyball star Kaylee Ray was lobbying Arizona lawmakers to pass a bill simply to protect women's sports, sharing her experience having to forfeit a match in 2024 against San Jose State University because a biological male was on the opposing team. Well, that didn't matter much to Democrat State Senator Catherine Miranda, who told her to suck it up because she's played against guys before. I mean, you look pretty healthy. I've played against girls that look like you. You look very much in shape and strong.

So you grew up one way. I grew up a different way. I would have taken on a man in a heartbeat. I played in – I was the only girl sometimes in men's sports. but to have a man on my team, I would have welcomed it, but this is just my opinion. So it just depends on the sports mentality of that individual. And that's why this bill is bad because you're just putting a whole community of women's sports in one category. When women like me, we have a different opinion.

So how competitive do you think you really are? Oh, my gosh. I wonder why we didn't hear gas in the room when she said that. See, this story is tied to exactly what we've been hearing from Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Representative Brandon Gill, and the president that it's no longer the Save Act. It's the Save America Act, which is not just voter ID, but it's also no boys playing in girl sports. No men playing in women's sports. If it's a public university funded by federal tax dollars, that should be the policy.

And the fact that this state legislator decided to shame this athlete tells you how far our society truly is. The fact that that woman can argue that, yeah, I'm different. Yeah, you might be the exception, the one out of every million women, where you maybe got to compete against men. But that point that she made is the true backlash here in the story because people looked into her claims and found out she was lying. Take a listen.

As far as Senator Miranda's athletic history, Well, according to an article in the Hispanicengineer.com website, she played Little League against boys and then later high school basketball against girls. On Senator Miranda's Instagram page, there are at least 545 comments, mostly slamming the senator for what she said, including no biological men and women's sports. You pretty much admitted they were men with your statement. You're an embarrassment. Shame on you. And then another one reads, how about you get into the ring and box a male? tell us that or simply shut your mouth. Then there were some comments defending what the senator said, including these right-wingers

are obsessed with sex. Now, as far as the outcome of the Save Girls Sports Act, well, the Senate in Arizona did pass it narrowly four to three. It now moves forward in the Arizona Senate. Yeah, see, in 2026, I can't understand why a politician would decide to die on this particular hill of believing that boys can be girls. and that they could play in those sports. I mean, that is so outside of just regular discourse.

It's evil at best. And the problem here is you think they would have learned from the election already. Most Americans do not believe in that whatsoever. And that's why Pete Hex asked Secretary of War. Shout out to him. He got it right. It's one standard. And so if we're going to do this, there's going to be one standard.

Now, when you're talking about actual, athletics, women can get hurt, and we've seen it. But again, what Democrats were saying response is, you guys are obsessed with sex. No, you guys are obsessed with sex because you wanted to change the very definition of it. You wanted to create a lot of books and legislation around it. Well, I think most of all, we have just been dismissed and abandoned by people in positions of leadership, particularly female leadership. And that's what you see in this here example. It is so harmful and so dangerous to women everywhere. To have women in positions of leadership who are unable and unwilling to advocate for young women, for fairness, for safety,

our young girls deserve leadership that they can look up to. And we should be focusing on empowering young women to chase their dreams and achieve in the height of sport. And that's obviously I know what happened here. I mean, the Chiron says Democrats accuse female athlete of not being competitive for refusing to play against biological men. Think about that. So you're not competitive because you refuse to compete against the opposite gender. You just can't make it up. You just can't make it up.

All right. Why don't you guys give me your thoughts about this video in the comment section below, whether it's the vice president and the president, fraud ceremony, executive order task force is official. What do you think about that? Do you think the vice president will be successful in this? Secondly, what did you make of John Cornyn and Greg Casar sparring in front of Austin Airport over funding DHS, particular TSA? And then I guess Democrats are still obsessed with their woke ways.

Give me your thoughts and everything you got in the comment section below. All right. Next video involves the president issuing another brutal warning this time to NATO. He is demanded in the show up and secure the straight over moves. And if they failed to do so, well, they may pay some consequences. If you guys missed out on that video and more updates from earlier today, click on it because it's coming up right now.
