And one of the ways that we have really pursued that is our project, Keep the Republic. And it's something we started right after the stolen election in 2020, inspired by the words of Benjamin Fr Franklin, who was asked after the end of the Constitutional convention, what kind of government have you given us? He replied, madam, a republic if you can keep it. Now, what does it take to keep a republic? It takes real tangible action. Adopting the warrior ethos, placing the mission first, never accepting defeat, and folks were never quitting. Organizing groups across the country based on the days of the week, Morning prayers Monday, release the Kraken Tuesday, Sheepdog Wednesday, Tech Triumph Thursday, and Fraud Busters Friday. So you can get started small, two or more people and gather your group from friends, friends, family, neighbors, co workers or classmates.

And this time, it's the bastion of free speech, WGSO Radio. You can check us out@wgso.com I'm on during the week in the morning, seven to nine, in the evenings, six to seven. And folks, we got a brand new app you can download from your Google Play or Apple App Store at wgso. It's just a WGSO app. You can listen on your phone. Love to have you on board. A lot of our great viewers join us on the radio. Hey, folks, with the economy the way it is, you know, we're still recommending the people that diversify. President Trump is improving it big time. But I'm recommending to everyone Birch Gold. With things out of our control, out of our president's control, it's important to have that safe haven. And Birch Gold provides that. So they'll help you convert an IRA or a 401k into an IRA and physical gold. And the great news is it doesn't cost you a penny out of your pocket. So let's get started. Just text America to 989-898, get a free info kit and you can get started. So protect your savings today, folks, with Birch Gold. Text America to 989-898 and get your free info kit today. All right, let's discuss some of the Hot Topics that we're following. Of course, the biggest news of the Trump administration is the extraction of Nicolas Maduro, the dictator, the one who stole elections in Venezuela, the one who's providing gang members and violence and death and destruction to the U.S. the narco terrorist. He has now been removed. And as the president stated in his news conference, the US Will be operating in Venezuela to make sure that we don't just leave a mess. Remember, Noriega was taken in 89 for similar charges, drug trafficking. And this was done in this case to protect Americans. It does fit in with an America first policy. I think the president is right on target. We are now protecting Americans by taking out these drug boats, by making sure that we have a relationship with a legitimate regime in Venezuela. And it was another flawless military operation. So kudos to all involved. We'll discuss more a little bit later on in the program with some of our guests. But once again, I think it's a successful military operation under this president who has been doing them throughout his two terms. And enemies of the US Beware. That's the message. All right, so communism doesn't work in Venezuela, doesn't work in Russia, doesn't work in Cuba, doesn't work in North Korea. It's not going to work in New York City. Communist Mandami pledges to seize property. He's also pledging to govern like a democrat socialist. This guy is as crazy of a lunatic as you can possibly see in any kind of urban environment. The people in New York are going to now get what they voted for, which is going to be a disaster. And I feel for the people of New York. He says collectivism is a warm embrace and he condemned individualism. Former Communist leader in Russia and aide to Vladimir Putin texted him and said, hey, this is not the right answer. Russia knows from their years as a communist nation. So we'll see how it goes. I'm predicting horrible things for New York, and I'm sad to say it. You've got, of course, another country where you've got protests like you did in Venezuela, and that is Iran. President is warning the regime there not to kill innocent protesters. We'll be talking later in the program with a woman who was a political prisoner in Iran to find out what the chances are for freedom there. The biggest news story in this country over the past few weeks has been the uncovering of the fraud in Minnesota. And kudos to an independent journalist named Nick Shirley, who did what the watchdogs didn't do, the politicians didn't do, the media didn't do. And he uncovered a scam of epic proportions. And now Nick Shirley, young man doing the right thing for the country, for the state, for the people, is receiving death threats. And that is typical of what we see from the left. When they don't get their way, they resort to violence. And these are people that are here. They should not be here from Somalia. And many of them need to go back. In fact, most of them and every dollar needs to be accounted for. And Nick Shirley is to be given tremendous credit for his courage in going into these areas, for uncovering this and standing by his incredible investigation. So big congratulations to a young man who has done a tremendous job. And that is Nick Shirley. All right, we're the beginning of the year, folks, and the Obamacare subsidies are expired. So that means prices are skyrocketing. We'll be talking later on in the program with a woman who's an expert in health care. This is something I've been calling for the Republicans to do, come up with an alternative to Obamacare. Obamacare, ladies and gentlemen, is a disaster. It has been from day one. It's a reason we started the Tea Party organization way back when. It's the reason that so many of us got out there and protested because Obamacare we knew was going to be a disaster. It turned out to be a disaster. It's lived up to every worst expectation that we had. And now it's incumbent upon the Republicans to come up with an alternative. And our expert later will be telling us what can be done to save us from more of this Obamacare nightmare. President Trump wishing the Clooneys a goodbye as George Clooney and his wife exit to France. You know, so while these celebrities are moving out, and I say continue to move, we don't want you here. These are people that are anti American. These are people that are toxic. We'd love to see him out of the US Let another country deal with the disaster. And he is now saying goodbye. And millions of Americans are as well. George Clooney, another one of these leftist Democrats who gave us people like Barack Obama and Joe Biden. We're certainly not going to be sorry to see him go. And I used to like these Hollywood stars but can't watch their movies now. Their politics is too toxic. And yes, let them leave. Let them go to socialist nations like France. And I think that would be better for all. And finally, the president, giving the results of his cognitive test, aced the test once again. He is now demanding that all candidates for president submit to the same kind of testing. Yeah, we need to make sure that our candidates for a president are not mentally deficient like Joe Biden. Remember, Joe Biden would never take a cognitive test, never release a cognitive test. His doctor was in on the fraud. American people were shortchanged by a cognitively impaired president. And we want to make sure that that doesn't happen again. So once again, this president is being transparent. This president is doing what needs to be done as far as his health. He's taking the test, he's releasing it to the public and he's challenging all future candidates to do the same. And I think that is the least that we can expect from our candidates to make sure that they're not cognitively deficient like Joe Biden. We can never go through that again. Look at what Joe Biden did. He created the messes here in this country, abroad with our military, Afghanistan, Ukraine, all these other disasters would have never happened if we had President Trump in place in 2020. Unfortunately, election was stolen and the results were catastrophic. That can never happen again. All right, a lot more to get to as we roll on right here on Ringside Politics. Thanks for joining us on Real America's Voice. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, folks. Our first guest is a gentleman who I've had on the program talking about election integrity. And I'm going to ask him a quick question about that before we get into our topic of these data centers, the website that he has, I'd love to recommend to everyone, it's the sustainable computing initiative.com all one word. Jay Valentine is with us, the founder of Omega for America. Hey, Jay, how are.
- [12:59]
Jay Valentine
You? It's good to speak with you again. How are you.
- [13:02]
Jeff Cruer
Today? Good, good. You know, Jay, we've had you on the program talking about election integrity for a number of times. And you know, many people say that a lot of the election corruption happened in Venezuela with the machines and, you know, rigging going on down there. Now that the US Is going to be running Venezuela and Maduro is out and there will be new leadership there, is that going to impact, you think the election problems that we've been having in this.
- [13:32]
Jay Valentine
Country? Well, about 95% of the election problems in the United States did not come from Venezuela. They come from ballots that are sent to ineligible locations where they're not delivered. They're collected by the postal service and by non governmental organizations called NGOs. Those NGOs vote them for the leftist candidates. The Venezuela thing is very good for the people in Venezuela. But for the people in America, if we don't get control of the mail in ballots, the problem won't.
- [14:12]
Jeff Cruer
Continue. Mail in ballots, that's the word of the day, right? The phrase of the day. That's what needs to be eliminated, correct.
- [14:21]
Jay Valentine
Jay? It is. It's mail in ballots all the time. I mean, what we're able to demonstrate is we will take the property tax rolls and we will take the voter rolls and we'll compare them and we'll see there are 12 voters at 1500 Elmont Street. Well, the property tax roll, when we look at that says 1500 Elmont street is a Walmart or it's a bank. It's some location where you can't get a ballot. Well, those ballots are going to be collected by somebody. It's not going to be the voter. And that's the problem. And that's happening across America. It's 20% of every voter roll in every state has these kinds of.
- [15:04]
Jeff Cruer
Anomalies. Now, Jay, last question on this and then we're going to get into the data centers. But how many states have mail in balloting in great numbers? Because I know there are different scenarios in different states.
- [15:17]
Jay Valentine
Right? Well, some states, Nevada, Colorado, a couple others are 100% mail in ballot. That's the only way they do it. But most of the states have mail in ballots for just about any reason at all. 20 years ago you had to go through a pretty rigorous process to do that. But right now we don't track every state. We track the swing states. And in all seven swing states they have mail in ballots essentially for any reason at all. And so it's a problem in all the swing states. It's a problem in Texas, it's a problem in California, and I would assume it's a problem in Louisiana as.
- [15:55]
Jeff Cruer
Well. Well, I appreciate your work on this and follow your work very closely and you're one of the real individuals trying to clean this up. And you've been sounding the alarm for years and I think more and more people are getting clued in, but it's been slow and I know it's been frustrating to you. But one thing that I think you're, you're really hitting a nerve on are these data centers and you've been sending the alarm on the fact that we don't need these massive data centers for AI. And in here in our state of Louisiana, they're building these massive data centers all over the state that are not popular in the areas because people are worried about resources. They're worried about environmental issues. They're worried about farmland being destroyed. There are all kinds of complaints that they have with it. And they don't think it's going to lead to a great number of jobs. And they just think it's helping big billionaires become richer. So what's the truth on this.
- [16:49]
Jay Valentine
Jay? Well, the truth is you don't need these data centers. So that's the first thing. The question is, why don't you need these data centers? And who are we to say that? Understand who we are. Guys, we're the team that built the backbone technology for much of the United States intelligence community. And when they wanted our team members to build their backbone technology for several of the big, big agencies, they said, we don't want a data center. Now, this was 20 years ago. Well, why wouldn't they want a data center? They don't want a data center because they were afraid that a nuclear weapon could take it out and they would be blind in a conflict. So we developed technologies, and these are technologies that a lot of people know about. There's something really secret about them called low IO, input output, low IO technologies. And they have the ability to run with no data center. And for years, people use these. Now the question is, why is the entire AI world running toward data centers? Well, the reason for that, Jeff, is because these software companies, like Oracle, Palantir, these various software companies, what they have been doing is they have been lazy. They have not taken advantage of what has been going on. Over $1 trillion of advancements in chip. So they are using the same software they used 20 years ago. And that software needs data centers. But the kind of software we're talking about is software that's optimized and you don't need a data center. And we prove it. Every day we take applications that require a massive data center and we build those applications in less than 60 or 90 days into a fractal application. And it runs on a 6 inch by 6 inch computer without a data center. But guess what else, Jeff? It runs 1,000 times faster. Data centers are actually slowing down artificial intelligence. These software companies are forcing people like the people in your beautiful state. They're forcing them to build these horrible data centers because they have built really bad.
- [19:11]
Jeff Cruer
Software. So we have all this rush toward data centers that we don't need. People know that the technology is there so that they can actually run faster AI without the data centers, and these communities won't be destroyed. The jobs are just fictitious. They don't really exist. As you and I have talked about on air. These big data centers just have a few employees after the construction is done. So why do they continue to push it? Is it a money grab? Well, take a.
- [19:43]
Jay Valentine
Look. I can tell you right now, I can tell you how to answer that question in your state. If you want to answer that question in Louisiana, you take a look at the donations to your political class and you're going to. You're going to see donations in the tens of millions of dollars from construction companies and from power companies, the type of power companies who are laying out electrical lines. Why is that? Because the electrical lines they're laying out are not DC direct current electrical lines. They're ac. They're alternating current direct lines. That's what you use in data centers. Guess what? As you drive those power lines through beautiful parts of your state, you are causing all kinds of problems. You are disrupting the environment. People who live near them are going to end up with a significantly greater chance of getting leukemia. There's horrible things that happen when you build a data center. All the area around the data center is essentially lost land. The land values are going to collapse because nobody wants to live near a data center. Nobody wants their farm animals near a data center. Are there jobs in a data center? There are not. People think a data center is full of programmers. A data center is an empty building with a bunch of computers and maybe 10 employees in an entire campus. So it is a terrible situation and you don't need.
- [21:10]
Jeff Cruer
Them. So it's a scam. As you and I have talked about on air. These are going to Turn into the JCPenney shopping malls of the future and become obsolete. How can our viewers out there see. How can our viewers out there stop this? We've got about 30 seconds left, Jay. In states across the.
- [21:27]
Jay Valentine
Country. Well, all you do is get on our website, the Sustainable Computing Initiative. We are going from state to state and we actually will bring with us a 6 inch by 6 inch computer that runs the equivalent of a data center. And we are being brought in as expert witnesses in litigation, in PUC conversations and in citizen groups, proving in the room that you can run an entire data center plugged into a wall and you don't need these big data centers. And once we prove that, everything falls apart for these.
- [22:04]
Jeff Cruer
Guys. All right, we'll be visiting soon. Jay Valentine, thank you for your work on so many important issues. And visit that website, folks. Again, it's the sustainable computing initiative.com Jay Valentine, thank you. All right, we have breaking news right now after the Operation Maduro timing Operation Venezuela to remove a dictator, Maduro, that I think is beneficial to our country. And this guy was fraudulently installed in office. He lost an election, wouldn't leave. So he's not a legitimate leader. He's been indicted along with his wife, been removed now by the United States on his way to face justice, to face these charges that he has legitimately been charged with because he's an Arco terrorist. You have people outside the White House right now protesting, protesting the action of our military, protesting the actions of President Trump, claiming that this is, quote, a war machine. And, of course, you're going to see a lot of this from the left, a lot of this from Democrats who don't like to see this president succeed, don't like to see this president lead, which is what has happened here. So, listen, I've been critical in the past of military operations that have taken 20 years and never ending, but certainly been supportive of ones that have a direct influence on our country, like in our own neighborhood. Remember, the Monroe Doctrine was issued for a reason, folks. Now we're actually living up to it here under President Trump. And this is a illegitimate leader who has been removed. And as the President said, we're going to be making sure that is a smooth transition there in Venezuela so the country doesn't fall into chaos, which I think is wise. But protests outside the White House, and I'm sure you're going to be seeing more of that over the weekend. All right, Jeff Crewer here. More ringside politics coming your way. Quick timeouts. We'll be right back. All right, we're going to be getting to other guests, but we have a special guest right now, and he is someone who does great work for Real America's Voice. He is our border correspondent. And of course, I'm talking about Oscar Blue Ramirez, who is joining us. He was just at the Venezuelan border last week. Oscar, welcome.
- [24:54]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Sir. Thank you for the invitation. It's always an honor to be with.
- [24:58]
Jeff Cruer
You. Yes. All right, we're showing our viewers some footage that you took. Explain this to everyone.
- [25:04]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Oscar. Well, this is the bridge that I was at last week. This is the bridge where the Venezuelan authorities, as I was recording at this particular place, they were threatening that I should leave this bridge. Now, there's another video that I sent where there is now that same bridge. We were located at that particular location, also reporting that there were high tensions and there was a huge deployment of the National Guard of Venezuela to that particular other bridge also. And there's military tanks on that other video that I Sent, they're present right there. They have been deployed as you see right there. That is exactly the bridge that is entering through the part of Colombia into Venezuelan territory. So you can actually see now that the Venezuelan authorities have now sent these so called military tanks into the side of Venezuela. Now there has been a lot of informative reports from our contacts inside of Venezuela. They are restricting the, the, the timing for people to go outside and get food. That's exactly what happened with COVID Now they are enforcing that. They're also threatening the population that if they celebrate this, of this extraction of Nicolas Maduro, they will be charged with terrorism and traitors to their country. That, that will let up to 30 years in prison. This is the reason why they are cutting off the Internet. They're cutting off a lot of the signals for people to get information from outside and for actually people to get the statements that they were recently put out by Donald Trump at this press.
- [26:30]
Jeff Cruer
Conference. So Oscar, let me ask you about this. He is not a popular dictator, right. He has the support of a small percentage of the people in Venezuela, the people that benefit from his corrupt regime. The most of the people are against Maduro and are probably very happy that he's been removed.
- [26:48]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Right? Yes. A lot of the population, you've got more than 12 million migrants outside of the world of Venezuela. But the United States authorities and the United States government needs to understand that the removal of Nicolas Maduro is just a part the ones that they created the fraction of the Cartel de los Ores, the narco terrorist organizations. And also not only that trend, it's also Diosdado Cabello and Padrino Lopez, they're the heads of the Justice Department. And ultimately they already released videos of them outside on the streets saying we are here safeguarding the population of Venezuela. And, and they're showing that they have no fear to the American authorities. That's what they're trying to show to the Venezuelan people. But ultimately at the end of the day, there's also people that they're agitators and they were in charge of the regime with Nicolas.
- [27:35]
Jeff Cruer
Maduro. So obviously it wasn't just Maduro was a network of thugs that were running that corrupt regime. There's a vice president now that I guess has been installed as president. Someone who was obviously an associate of Maduro's. The president mentioned at his news conference that she was in touch with Secretary of State Rubio and had been talking very favorably. But the president said we're going to maintain a presence there in this transition to New leadership in Venezuela. How do you think that's going to work.
- [28:05]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Oscar? It's going to take a lot of work. And that's what I said. You know, there's two other individuals who have been running and they're part of and you know, the American authorities and the intelligence authorities of the Department of Treasury of the United States. They know about these two people. They know about Cabello. They know about Padrino Lopez. These two people are the ones that they created the Cartel de los Olles. That is a fraction, you know, of the enormous trafficking of synthetic drugs into the north. And also Padrino Lopez, that has been the one that has, you know, giving the authority to these cartels to be operating. So is going to take a lot of work, a lot of negotiations and a lot of reinforcements on these particular parts. I don't know how the United States authorities are going to handle the intervention inside of Venezuela, but apparently right now these two individuals are showing that they're not willing to collaborate with the United.
- [28:56]
Jeff Cruer
States. So this is not going to be a short transition. In your view, Oscar, this is going to take a lot of time until a legitimate leadership can be running Venezuela, Is that what you're.
- [29:07]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Saying? Yes, absolutely. And not only that, also they have fractions of a huge community of Iran inside of Venezuela. There has been speculations of the presence of the fraction of Hezbollah, also speculations of fraction of military stations of Russia inside of Venezuela. So it's not going to be easy. It is going to be difficult for the United States authorities. They already extracted the head of a snake. But it is a lot of work that they're going to try to do to create stability and to bring it back to the Venezuelan.
- [29:38]
Jeff Cruer
People. Oscar, we appreciate your reporting. Thank you so much for joining us this morning on the.
- [29:43]
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Program. Thank you so much for the.
- [29:46]
Jeff Cruer
Invitation. Oscar Blue Ramirez, our border correspondent, incredibly important information, and he mentioned Iran, which is a good segue into our next guest, former Iranian political prisoner, human rights advocate, entrepreneur. Shirin Nehraman is with us. And Shirin certainly knows about the brutal regime in Iran and they have been closely associated with Venezuela. Now that the Venezuelan dictator has been removed, could Iran be next? Shirin, welcome to the program. How are.
- [30:17]
Shirin Nehraman
You? Good. Thank you for having me at your.
- [30:20]
Jeff Cruer
Program. Thank you for joining us. Tell us about the leadership there in Iran. Totally corrupt, Sharin. I mean, obviously their protests now that have been gaining strength, are they worried about their regime.
- [30:37]
Shirin Nehraman
Falling? Of course. And that's why we are seeing the severe suppression we are seeing killing innocent young men and women in the streets and also arresting them. But we are seeing that regardless of what we, you know, what the regime does. But Iranian people are fearless and frankly tired of everything in, sorry, everything that is happening to them right now. So that's why people are fighting back regardless of what is happening to them. They're fed up with this session, they're done with this regime. But remember, it's more than 40 years that they are fighting against this regime. I was arrested years ago and I was in prison. So the fight has been going.
- [31:28]
Jeff Cruer
On. Why were you arrested, Shirin? What did they charge you.
- [31:33]
Shirin Nehraman
With? Well, I was a simple supporter of at the time I was just a teenager. I was in my last year of high school, senior year and I was a supporter of Mujahedeen, which is people Mujahideen of Organization of Iran. And I was suddenly arrested at our house for no reason. Unfortun I had to learn how to survive at a very young age. And I had to witness so many brutality of this regime. Nightly executions in Iran and also being going through torture myself. But those are, you know, what happens to yourself is not a big deal. And you forget, I think, but what remains with you is what happened to your friends, your cellmates, your family, your relative. Every afternoon they would be calling people, calling list for execution. So that was the hard.
- [32:38]
Jeff Cruer
Part. I give you so much credit for having the courage to speak out after what you've been through. And that's inspiring to see people like you standing up against this brutal regime. It's inspiring to see the protests now in Iran. President Trump says that we're going to intervene there if these protesters are killed. You saw what just happened in Venezuela last night. What do you recommend that President Trump do as far as Iran?
- [33:03]
Shirin Nehraman
Sharon? Well, I think the political support has always been mattered and what we have seen is a great support of political support. Iranian people have been fighting for past 40 years and they are able to change this regime. This regime will end by the Iranian people in Iran. But recognizing the rights of Iranian people for regime change and for defending themselves is very important. And I think the whole world should also acknowledge the rights of Iranian people for self defense and fight back and allow them to do their regime change on their.
- [33:48]
Jeff Cruer
Own. All right, Shirin, thank you for joining us. Best of luck to you. Prayers for you and the Iranian people as they deal with another brutal regime. They can't be feeling too comfortable today after what's happened in Venezuela. Before we go to our next guest, let's go back to some of this coverage of these protests that are occurring right now outside the White House. And these are folks that are upset that a dictator has been removed. They're upset that the US Military has taken action. This guy Maduro was given chance after chance after chance. He turned down all of these chances, spoke to President Trump, and this was an action that was taken as sort of a last resort. I mean, this guy should have gotten the message from day one. The narco terrorist boats were being blown away. Conversations were, you know, developing with the administration, with the president himself, yet he refused to leave. And now he's in US custody facing charges that he obviously deserves because this is a guy who has been corrupt for decades. He's stolen elections, he's fraudulently was fraudulently in power. Now he's not. But as we just heard from Oscar, this is not going to be an easy transition to real legitimate leadership there in Venezuela because Maduro had plenty of people that were working with his regime to suppress the will of the Venezuelan people. As he mentioned, there are connections with Iran and Russia and China and other regimes in Venezuela. So removing all of that is going to take time. But the first step, the important step was taken removing Maduro and his wife. That happened last night in a flawless operation. Another military operation which occurred recently was the US bombed ISIS in Nigeria. And in Nigeria we had Christian that had been slaughtered by by Muslims and nothing was done for years. This president focused on it, took action. And we have a gentleman who's made this his mission to bring truth to Nigeria. He's got the founder of truthnigeria.com Judd Saul is joining us here on the Ringside Politics program. Judd, welcome. How are you.

Jay Valentine
Sir?
- [36:14]
Judd Saul
Great. Thanks for having me.
- [36:15]
Jeff Cruer
On. So a few weeks ago, the president started focusing on what was going on in Nigeria, started bringing attention to the Christians being slaughtered there. And then on Christmas Day, strikes were made against ISIS in Nigeria. Judd, tell us how important that was and what do you recommend that the US do.
- [36:38]
Judd Saul
Next? Well, it sent a very clear message to the country of Nigeria and to the terrorist regimes that are running the entire northern part of Nigeria. Nigeria. And the good thing is, is we targeted one of the three main terrorist groups that are running rampant Nigeria killing Christians. And that was the ISIS affiliated group, which is the Lakura tribe. But we need to go after the Fulani ethnic militia as well as Boko Haram. And these are three Muslim factions that are vying for the control of Nigeria. They fight each other occasionally, but they all have one thing in common that they need to take out the Christians first. And so I am very glad that President Trump sent a clear message to Nigeria, but it's going to take a lot of follow through and we are going to need to deal with the Fulani ethnic militia and Boko.
- [37:30]
Jeff Cruer
Haram. So what happened in Venezuela last night and the removal of a dictator there, do you think a message has been delivered to the leadership in.
- [37:39]
Judd Saul
Nigeria? I think Nigeria is taking President Trump very seriously at this point. And it's, it's a, it's a relief because they think the Nigerians thought that they could wait it out until the next administration comes in. I don't think they quite realize what kind of president they're dealing with. And Trump just sent a clear message to the rest of the world, including.
- [38:02]
Jeff Cruer
Nigeria. Is the leadership in Nigeria corrupt? Are they supporting the slaughter of.
- [38:07]
Judd Saul
Christians? Jack, the current Nigerian government infrastructure is riddled with radical Islamists that have been laying covered for the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. And what I mean, laying cover. I mean, they have been telling the military and police to stand down, knowing well in advance when Christians were going to be attacked. And if we're going to deal with the problem of persecution in Nigeria, we do have to deal with the Nigerian government and the Fulani radical Islamists that are in control of a lot of its.
- [38:40]
Jeff Cruer
Apparatus. How many Christians have been slaughtered in Nigeria in recent years? Judd do we have any verifiable.
- [38:49]
Judd Saul
Numbers? Yes, just within the last five years alone, we estimate about 50,000 Christians have been killed. This year alone, 8,000 Christians have been killed since January 1st. It accounts for 90% of all Christian persecution deaths worldwide in the last five.
- [39:07]
Jeff Cruer
Years. And as far as this strike on Christmas Day, is that going to save Christian lives? Will that that deter some of this Christian persecution and genocide that we've.
- [39:20]
Judd Saul
Seen? It is deterring a little bit, but like I said, this was one terrorist faction out of three that's been dealt with. The Fulani just killed 12 people in Joss, Nigeria three days ago. So they haven't been relenting on their attacks. They're still attacking Christians. And we got one group that's been dealt with, but we have to deal with the other.

Jeff Cruer
Two. Chet Saul, thank you for your work and thank you so much for joining us right here on the Ringside Politics program. We're going to take a brief time out. A lot more coming your way as we're covering these protests outside the White House. And of course, the big news, the removal of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro coming to the US with his wife going to be facing the charges against him. And the US Going to be involved in the transition to new leadership there in Venezuela after this dictator has been removed. A lot more to get to right here on Ringside Politics. Jeff Crier with you. We'll be right back. We report the news to you up front. Ringside politics politics with the flight.
- [40:31]
Twyla Bra
Ringside Politics now the CIS may crisp.
- [40:34]
Jeff Cruer
Crystal clear with your host, Jeff Crew Air. Welcome back, folks. We'll get back to the Venezuelan issue and talk about the protest. But we have a guest right now who is joining us been on our radio program. Glad to have her on our TV show. Twyla Bra is with us. President and co founder of Citizens Council for Health Freedom. This is occurring at an opportune time for this discussion because people are looking at their premiums. Many of them are skyrocketing, very upset. Health care costs are surging. And Twyla, thanks for joining us. This shows you Obamacare wasn't a very good idea from the beginning, was.
- [41:21]
Twyla Bra
It? Well, it's not like the rest of us didn't know it wasn't a very good idea. But you know, it was hard to get past the president's lies about you won't lose your doctor, you won't lose your health plan. It'll be affordable. And always when the government gets involved, it's not affordable. It's never affordable when the government gets involved. And of course, there's all the government controls and the new taxes as a result of government.
- [41:44]
Jeff Cruer
Involvement. So here we are. You know, people are seeing their premium surge. Congress is now coming back into session. What needs to be.
- [41:53]
Twyla Bra
Done? Twila, you know, what needs to be done is actually pretty simple. If they would just do it it. And we sent a letter to President Trump about three or four weeks ago. And we told him, we asked him one thing and then we told him several other things. But we said, we told him do not extend the Obamacare subsidies because this is just a huge multi billion dollar boost to the health plans. It doesn't actually go into the hands of the people. But more importantly, what he needs to do is pressure Congress to repeal the prohibition on real insurance. So today in this country, we do not have real insurance. We have something that's called prepaid health care. And it's a health plan. And essentially it's the corporate version of socialized medicine because in any socialized country, they pay their taxes and then they get health care and then they hope that they can get what they need, but they don't know if they will that's exactly what's happening in the health care health plan system of today. That's what the Affordable Care act said is you can only have health plans, you can only have prepaid health care. But before Obamacare, we had real health insurance, affordable major medical indemnity policies that were only there for catastrophic and insurable events. That's all he has to do, pressure Congress to bring us back real health.
- [43:21]
Jeff Cruer
Insurance. So just go back, reset the clock to before.
- [43:25]
Twyla Bra
Obamacare. Yes, but we, I mean, we could set it even further back and we would be better, but if we could at least set it back to when we actually had access to real health insurance, which we don't have.
- [43:37]
Jeff Cruer
Today. Twyla, are there any bills in Congress that will accomplish that? Are there any people that you're working with among the Republican delegation? Because I'm sure we're not going to see any common sense from the.
- [43:48]
Twyla Bra
Democrats. Well, we do have a bill, we call it Mahira. Make health insurance real again. Mahira. And it would do the very same thing. And we did have an author, but the author has different future plans than being in Congress. So we're going to be working with another one. What it would really say is the portion of the Affordable Care act that says that catastrophic coverage cannot be sold to anyone over the age of 29. That provision, it essentially would say notwithstanding that provision, we are making real health insurance available, major medical indemnity policies available in the United States of America. That's essentially what that bill would do. And right now we are on the hunt for new authors of that.
- [44:41]
Jeff Cruer
Bill. All right, where can our listeners get more information and how can they help you with this incredibly important.
- [44:47]
Twyla Bra
Cause? TWILIGHT yes, well, certainly go to CCH freedom.org, cCH freedom.org and, and even look for our letter for President Trump there. But you can certainly contact us, you can donate to our efforts. You can call your legislators or your members of Congress and tell them I want that bill that will bring back catastrophic major medical insurance, real health insurance. Just tell them you want real health insurance, you don't want health plans anymore. And that we have a bill to do that and we would happy to work with any member of Congress. Of course you can support us out there and you can read the letter to Trump, which not only has that recommendation, but also has what we call the 3C solution for this country in health care. It's cash, catastrophic coverage and charity. That's what health care used to be. That's when the patient doctor were back together. That's when it was.
- [45:40]
Jeff Cruer
Affordable. We need to get back to real health insurance, as you say, in real health care, and get away from this incredibly disastrous Obamacare nightmare that we've been living under for 15 years now. All right, Twyla, thank you for your work. Thank you for joining us. All right, let's go to some of these protests that are still occurring outside of the White House. You have now your typical liberal groups that are out there. They are upset, and here's just one way to look at this, folks. They are upset that a dictator has been removed from office. They're upset that a narco terrorist has been taken as coming back to face justice. There should be celebrations everywhere from all over the country. And I'm sure there are some people out there celebrating what happened as well as protesting people that are happy with what happened there in Venezuela. If you talk to a lot of the Venezuelans that are here in this country, I'm sure most of them are, are very happy with what happened to this dictator, Maduro. All right, we have a video clip of the week to share. And this is from our viewer, David Kaiser of Pennsylvania. He's got a new initiative he's doing for the 250th anniversary. Let's check it out.
