What we don't talk about enough on this program is the lengths that President Trump is going to to make everyone out there prosperous, including our children. So I'm looking at the big beautiful bill and I don't know if you knew this, but inside the big beautiful bill there is a provision that every child born between January 20 20, January 1, 2025 of this year, all the way through 2028 will get a $1,000 deposit into a quote Trump account that will grow and will be invested by professional money manage for managers for every single child. And then today we get word that President Trump went and recruited some of his billionaire friends to donate money, more money to kids that didn't fall into that mix. The Dells, Michael and Susan Dell, are now set to donate $6.25 billion to give every child under 10 years born before January 1, 2025, $250 to start that Trump account. Hopefully to spur them on, their family members, their friends to start putting money inside those accounts. So later on down the road, through compounding interest, they'll have the money to buy an account. This is Michael Dell today. You know, when I was eight years old, I got a passbook savings account and I had, I think about $8 in it. And you go to the savings loan and you give them a quarter and they'd stamp your account. And I got to see the power of compound interest early in my life. And that has brought me here to this moment and hopefully will inspire that kind of opportunity for many more young people in this country. Folks are giving $6.25 billion away to the children of America, not through the government come snatching it from them. And the media wants you to think that President Trump is somehow evil, that he's the Antichrist, when in the end, everything this man does is to protect Americans and make sure that our future generations are set up. And President Trump is not done with all of this. And I think a lot of people are going to be contributing. A lot of people are watching us right now. They might not be six, six billion dollars plus, but there'll be a lot. There aren't too many people that are in the 6 billion range, but there'll be a lot. A lot of friends of mine have already told me they're going to contribute a lot of money. Thank you, Mr. President. You don't have to go do that. Go recruit donations. You see, it's not coming from the federal government. Sure, the thousand dollars is between 2025 and 2028, but all of this is new money. Now, it's not just the kids either. President Trump has gone out and recruited $21 trillion of investment into the United States of America. What do you think that does for our prosperity, for our economy, for the job market, when he says he wants to make this the AI capital of the world and all the tech companies flood into America? This is about unleashing prosperity for all of us. Okay, so my point to this is the wealthy doesn't need the government to steal their money through taxes. They're fully willing to give it up, sometimes because they'll prosper off of it, sometimes because they do it out of the goodness of their heart. That's charity. And this is the best that capitalism has to offer. Here's Susan Dell. I just like to say how excited we are to be a part of this. We believe that when children have a future that they can see is worth saving for, then that will help build hope and opportunity and prosperity for generations to come. You know, I don't say this lightly, but the dopey Democrats, they couldn't come up with an idea like this. And if they did, they'd find some way to cut Republican children out. That's a flat ass reality. Sorry to be blunt. This is for every kid, regardless of race, political affiliation of their parents. It doesn't Matter. And it's not just this. We have tariff money now flooding into this country. $200 billion this year alone. And guess what? President Trump says he's going to give some of that back to. Guess who? You. Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever. And we're going to be giving back refunds out of the tariffs because we've taken in literally trillions of dollars and we're going to be given a nice dividend to the people in addition to reducing debt that at some point in the not too distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay because the money we're taking in is so great, it's so enormous. Amen, Mr. President. No income tax. Could you imagine what that would do to get this country to take off? You keep your entire check. Wow. So, as you can see, President Trump's not power hungry. It's not about self interest. This is about national interest. At the most individual level, it's about your interest in more ways than one interest year and a bank account or through a stock market dividend. It's about American prosperity. It's about your prosperity. And speaking about unleashing prosperity, why don't we bring in the executive director of Unleash Prosperity. Tim no, sure is with us. Tim, welcome to the program. Nice. Nice move there. That was good. Thank you. You like that? Well, I like what I saw today on every level. I don't think a lot of people are talking about this, but this is literally putting money back in the hands of the people. Tim Grant, look, we can talk all day if you like government giving money to people, we can talk about the efficacy of that. Is it better in this way or better that way? But let me tell you something. How cool is it that these babies from the very start are now going to be an owner in the greatness of America? Think about what the stock market has done for Americans since it started. It's a 7% return on investment compared to what are you going to get for Social Security grant? What, 1%? Nothing. I mean, it's virtually nothing. This is opening up the door to making people millionaires when they retire. Because this is the kind of thing that gets people normalized to say, let me log onto my account and let me see how my money is doing. Whereas with Social Security, what are you going to do? Just trust that it's going to be there when you retire. This is a culture shift in America. And the people who are pro Social Security better be scared crapless, because this is A real deal. This is, this is more than just charity. This is humanitarian. This is a human. The greatest humanitarian effort, I think, from Michael Dell and his wife that we've ever seen in this world. Yeah. And it has nothing to do with government other than that there will be professionals running these accounts. I'm told they'll be individual accounts. It's not going to be just thrown into one giant fund like Social Security that these kids and their parents can watch this money grow. I may put you on the spot here, Tim, but have you done any math of what, $1,000 if someone didn't even put one dime or one nickel into it later, what that comes out to be years down the road? Yeah, it all depends on what the stock market returns, because again, remember, this is going into an index fund. So if you average in 5% a year, you're looking at a few thousand dollars. But, but remember, that is not the barrier. That's not the thing that keeps people from. Gets people to invest. The thing that gets people to invest is opening the account. It's not even the thousand dollars. Don't think about the thousand dollars. Think about the fact that the account will be there, that parents can then go with their kids and say, let's put some allowance money into this market account. Let's put some of it in there instead of a savings account and let's see what that does. And of course, naysayers will say, hey, this is the stock market. It's unpredictable. Well, again, just take a look at the, just take a look at the Dow Jones since the very, very start. And it's a 7% return on investment, which is absolutely unheard of. And somebody who, with a modest salary could, could be a millionaire if they put, you know, 5, 10% away in a market account at the very beginning. This is the start of something great, you know, and the other thing to look at here is that part of this plan allows for companies to don the children of their employees account, this very account. And it would operate like an IRA, except here's the great part. When they're 18, there are some qualifying expenses like buying a house that would not be penalized. And if you took money out of an IRA for, for this, and if they want to keep it in, they can keep it growing tax free all the way till they retire. But all of this is well thought out. All of it gets private enterprise involved. Tim, I'll give you the last word. And that's another thing that we gotta focus on. We focus so much in this country. On sending our kids to an undergraduate education level. We're gonna pay $100,000 to go get a degree in underwater basket weaving. Well, what if somebody has a sense to say, I don't want to do that. I want to take money and I want to invest in a business when I'm 18. Well, this is a perfect vehicle to get someone there. Instead of paying into a 529, which is a great thing. Pay into that all you want. Absolutely. This just gives Americans more options to do more with their money and maximize the return that they will see on it and benefit them and generate prosperity. And again, this is great not just for the people. This is good for our companies. It's good for every part of America. Tim, I'm so glad you brought that up, because investing in a business is part or one of the qualified expenses. When I left mainstream television, I liquidated my 401k to buy a large auto care business. With the real estate, it's about a million and a half for the. For the whole project. And I liquidated my 401k. And you know what I found so offensive was I could take my 401k and I could go invest it in Exxon and have no problems investing it in another company. But if I wanted to invest in myself, guess what? I took a huge hit for taking that money out of my 401k. That's just wrong right there. I'd rather put money in me than I would go put it in another publicly traded company. And you weren't allowed to do it. This, at least in one aspect, will allow people to do that. I thank you for bringing that up, Tim, as always. Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Unleash prosperity. Find him there. Great organization. So many great people work for that outlet. Okay, folks, you know, besides your finances, you know, we talk about how these shows take on themes. The theme of this show is the things that President Trump is doing to keep Americans safe, prosperous, that the media won't give him credit for. You know, the place they're hammering him right now on is deportations. But when you think about what's happening with the deportations, America is becoming a safer place. No matter what they tell you, first and foremost, the worst of the worst is who they're going after. Is there collateral damage because someone's here illegally hanging out with a bad guy? Yes, there is. But don't forget, they broke the law, too. Either way, America is becoming much safer for it because many of these illegals that are here were killing American citizens. President Trump knows that. So we lost last year, more than 200,000 people dead. People ruined families beyond the 200,000. And those 200,000, that family will never be the same. But he also allowed drugs to come in at record numbers. And hundreds of thousands of people a year died. We're taking those son of a bitches out. Fentanyl deaths are down. Why? Because President Trump has stopped the flow of fentanyl into this country, as some getting through, yes, but not near at the levels where they were under Joe Biden. These illegal aliens, besides the criminality, they're draining our resources, sucking the lifeblood out of our economy by all of the entitlements that many of these blue states are giving them. And now you have inner cities that are overrun with gang bangers, thugs, drug traffickers. People in inner cities are grateful to President Trump. And yet the fat cat Washington types, Democrats are so out of touch with America, they just don't see it. And again, the fentanyl deaths were the worst. But those are 100% coming down. Here's President Trump again. We start that, we're going to drive those numbers down so low. And then you're going to have families be able to live without the fear of their son or daughter just having a pill to have a little fun and ending up dying within a period of 60 seconds, right? No, we're not going to let that happen. Joe Biden let it happen. The Democrats let it happen. They're letting it happen in blue states across the the country. But the media doesn't want to talk about that stuff. So we will, and we're grateful. And I give a huge thanks to President Trump. He's also ending wars. Talk about not putting Americans in harm's way. There's no wars to be in harm's way at. This is Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State. For the first time in probably four decades, the American foreign policy is driven by what is good for America and Americans, whether it makes a safer and stronger and more prosperous. If it is, he's for it. If it doesn't, he's against it. And that sort of clarity is transformational. You know how transformational it is. It makes our military stronger. One we're not stretched thin, too. When you have a commander in chief like President Trump, a guy who is in control, that inspires greatness in others. Okay. And I know the media will go crazy when I say that, but he does. Just being around this guy, you want to do great things. We have an explosion of Americans signing up to be in the United States military. And guess what? Our veterans that are still serving right now, our current active duty members of the military, are hanging around a lot longer than they ever did under Joe Biden, that's for sure. Here's the Secretary of War. It has been a historic year at the Department of War. Recruiting and retention over this year are at the the most historic levels our country has ever seen. When I had a chance to be on a aircraft carrier destroyer over Thanksgiving. The spirit in our ranks since the election under President Trump is unprecedented. I've never seen anything like it as a soldier myself in uniform. That cabinet meeting went on for three plus hours because this is the most transparent administration. Why? Because President Trump values you, the people of America. They deserve to know. They deserve to hear from their leaders and the people in his cabinet, and that's what he does. Totally different than any other leader of America, including every Republican I know. Now compare President Trump's leadership to Democrat leadership, to liberals, to radicals, to the lack of leadership we saw in Minnesota. Now you've got Tim Ding Dong Walls, the governor of Minnesota, Beta Mail, who oversaw one of the largest fraud operations now in American history. A billion dollars. He knew it was going on, but he didn't want to come off as racist to hammer away at the Somalis who were carrying it out, so he let it fester. So we spent $1 billion on luxury homes and fancy cars and oh yeah, Al Shabaab in Sevalia, the terror group, get some money too. And, and Tim Walsh wants to take zero accountability in it all. It's not a coincidence that they're targeting Minnesota. We certainly welcome those investigations. They've been done by all of you and they've been done here. We certainly want to know that. But it's also the Transportation Secretary who is threatening to withhold our federal dollars. Look, that's who they are. This is. This is who they are. We welcome anybody who wants to help us. We're fixing it. And I said, Minnesotans know us and our team. We let us through. Covid. We let us through. George Floyd. We. George Floyd. You guys the ones who started George Floyd, basically. So that's what you get from a leftist leader and oh, yeah, who's the Attorney General in Minnesota. You're not going to get any action from him. That's Keith Ellison. A video from 2021 has surfaced. It was recorded in his office. He was with Somali American business leaders, many of whom were arrested in this giant fraud case. And on the video, the recording, Ellison could be heard basically offering assistance to these people who were carrying out the fraud. He mocked any government oversight of all of this, and he vowed to fight on behalf of the operators were carrying out the fraud. Now, whether he knew the fraud was going on or not, I don't know. But he loves money. Listen closely. Only way we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena, putting our votes where it needs to be, but most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place. But if you are secure in your donor base and if you are secure in your power base, you can act the way you want to act. Money is freedom sometimes. And hear him at the end. Money is freedom. It is if you get it the right way. It's not if you're bilking the taxpayers of Minnesota or anybody else. So the difference between Trump leadership and the radicals, then of course, you have to bring in the media, because the media doesn't want to cover all of this, because they know how bad the radicals look. They know that President Trump is turning around America. So what do they focus on? Oh, President Trump, he can't do the job. He's faltering. His mental capacity is down. He's unhealthy. He had an mri, for crying out loud. All of it is freaking bull corn, folks. Listen to the folks at msnbc. A White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, responded to questions about Trump's health, such as his MRI results and why he had one, saying, the team has been open and transparent about the President's excellent health. But at a certain point, does avoiding the topic stop working? Are we already there? We may already be there. I think the hypocrisy is just. It's running rampant hypocrisy. President Trump released the MRI results, by the way. He trolled the mainstream media. He knew it wasn't of his brain, and he let him go crazy about it. It turned out it was for a vascular situation in his body, not his brain, and he trolled him on all of that. I was at Mar A Lago all last week. I was blessed. I basically spent the week with the President. I got some alone time with him, albeit three to five minutes, but I got to witness him firsthand from just feet away all week. This man is not only sharp as attack, the man not only has the energy and strength of an oxygen, he also goes, goes, goes. He plays music loud until the late in the night, throwing a party, wanting everyone around him. There is no signs of this man having any kind of debilitating mental acuity or physical deterioration. None. And that you can take to the bank. Want to bring on now the associated editor of News Busters, Nicholas Fonda Caro is with us. Nicholas, welcome to the program. Hey, Grant, thanks for having me on. All right, Nicholas, what do you think the media's goal is here of focusing on President Trump's health? We know it's good, and they want to say it's not. It's absolutely a distraction. Yes, the American people have a right to know what the president's health is like. They have a right to know all that information because it's national security, national interest. But they also have the right to oppress. That is going to act in good faith. And the liberal media, the elitist media, is not acting in good faith on this. Cuz where was all of this during the Biden years? All of this stuff was on camera. Him tripping all over the place, falling down, jumbling his words, saying stuff like when he was in Ireland, saying we have to lick the world. No curiosity about what was going on with him. And now they're all over Trump taking pictures of the back of his hand, asking about makeup there. And when with Biden you had stuff being said like this is normal for his age. A lot of this stuff is normal for people of Trump's age. But now suddenly it's all this mystery and we need to know what it is, and the White House is trying to hide it from us. And meanwhile, they were with Biden. They were saying cheap fakes. Yeah, the cheap fake comment. Let me play a clip from you from CNN today. This is after the Cabinet meeting. That Cabinet meeting went three hours long. President Trump was directing it like he was directing a symphony orchestra. And yet CNN concocts this story. Those comments coming shortly before CNN's White House team today noticed several instances where the president appeared to doze off during that lengthy Cabinet meeting. You can see him here slouched in his chair. His eyes are closed. He sort of abruptly shifts, straightens up. He was not asleep. And everybody around him knows he was not asleep. He was looking down the end of the table, Nicholas. See, this is the thing that they're always trying to do with him. Meanwhile, there is actual footage of Biden dozing off in certain meetings in the Oval Office and in different things. And then we're told, don't believe our lying eyes. And like I was saying, they were saying all of the stuff was chief breaks with Biden. And now they're literally trying to make stuff up with Trump even though it's right on camera. It's all a distraction to try to make it seem like, oh, now we care about a president's health and we sort of learned our lesson after hiding it with Biden. Then you had like Jake Tapper making his book about how the media didn't see this. And so we're so sorry now and they're trying to backtrack. But this is all an effort to just put a unnecessary spotlight on Trump. I'm old enough to remember in his first term they were saying his mental acuity was going back then. Yeah, it's not. I'll play one more for you and then get a quick response of all the things going on. We've got an entourage now trying to solve the Ukraine, Russia conflict, conflict. We've got kids who are going to get $1,000 and 250 bucks from the Dells. Yet the media can't focus on that. This is them asking Caroline Levitt about the MRI on the mri because President Trump yesterday said that he would release the results of his mri. Is that happening right now? It is happening right now. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and well profused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits. Nicholas. I swear I think Trump knew it was of his cardiovascular system and his organs and he let them think it was the brain and then he released it and lo and behold, it's not the brain. I think he trolled him. I'll give you the last word, Nicholas. I think there's a very good possibility of that because he likes to string them along as he knows they're going to take the bait. And I saw other members of the media claiming that preliminary or precautionary MRIs are not done. I have driven a family member personally to get one of these MRIs done. So they're just trying to distract from all of his wins. Yeah. Nicholas Fonda, Caro, it's great having you on the program. Great work over at MRC and News Busters, one of my favorite outlets. Thank you for coming on today, my friend. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. All right, folks, we'll continue to follow that and all of Trump's successes and we'll be calling out the media, no doubt about that.

The Seditious, Seditious Six. Politically motive, motivated. You better believe it. Listen to press secretary of the Dow, Kingsley Wilson today. This despicable video that Mark Kelly participated in with the Seditious Six was a politically motivated influence operation that was an attempt to undermine the chain of command to sow distrust and division in our armed forces. That is absolutely ridiculous and it puts our war fighters at risk. All right, she's with the Department of War. She says it was politically motivated and influence operation. Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona, who I think was an integral part in all of this, basically telling members of our military to ignore President Trump. He responded to what motivated him. I don't really believe him. So we were looking forward to try to head something off at the pass that could have been really, really bad. So it wasn't about this specific thing. Oh, so you mean President Trump hasn't given any illegal orders? Is that your admission? Again, that was today from Mark Kelly. So what's really at play here? Because they've backtracked off the idea that President Trump has given illegal orders. They acknowledge that he has not. And there was no indication that President Trump ever was going to. They were trying to subvert President Trump's command over members of our military. That, to me, is treasonous behavior. And who orchestrated this? They're too dumb, Kelly and the others to think of this on their own. What about John Brennan? He was former director of the CIA. He orchestrated the Hunter laptop cover up. I probably think he orchestrated this. Here's General Flynn. I know that he's been doing okay. John Brennan has been colluding with members of. With people inside of our government. Okay. What I just said is very damaging and very damning. So inside of our government, he's been colluding with people outside of the government that. That recently served in our government to undermine not only President Donald J. Trump, but to undermine the United States of America. John Brennan amounts to a handler. And These are the CIA's operatives, sitting united States senators I want to bring in now. Former Green Beret and constitutional attorney, Lt. Col. Retired Ivan Rakeland is with us. Our Secretary of Retribution is back. Welcome back, Mr. Secretary. Good to be back, sir. All right. What do you make of the idea that General Flynn says that Brennan is running these senators? Yeah, I mean, I think we have to go back to when he was the CIA director, essentially going back 11 years. The reason why the auto pen went back to 2014. You got to basically take a look at Brennan and his whole arc of treason that he's conducted over this decade. Plus, because from the time that he was the director of the cii, he went to Ukraine to essentially broker the deal with Victoria Nuland, to go ahead and conduct a coup in Ukraine so that Hunter Biden could then be placed as a director of the board of Burisma, so that the Biden crime family could go ahead and make money hand over fist through the 10% for the big Guy scheme. I mean, I'm not gonna rehash that. But the reason why he is able to continue to operate is because this administration has failed to take him off the streets. I mean, why wouldn't he continue to treason to protect himself? And so my role here is essentially to motivate not only the White House, but maybe the Secretary of War now, as well as the press secretary who you had on earlier today. She did an absolutely fantastic job today with the new media. Her name's Kingsley Wilson. And I think the way we retake the narrative to essentially put these seditious six Democrats and call them out on whether or not this is a TDS play or this is a legitimate play saying that, oh, we're just calling on making sure that military folks don't follow illegal orders. Well, why don't you remind them of the unlawful order that was actually promulgated in September of 2021 under the Biden criminal syndicate under Lloyd Austin's Department of Defense, if you can even call him a legitimate president or a legitimate Secretary of Defense at the time when they mandated the unlawful vaccine mandate and the implementation thereof. That's who needs to be addressed. And I would hope that this Secretary of War and his Undersecretary Defense for Personnel and Readiness will actually hold the individuals behind that unlawful vaccine mandate to task and then maybe work with these seditious six, if you will, if they would also support going after folks that actually issued unlawful orders, meaning Terry Adiram, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. All right, let's get back to Brennan here because as you mentioned, he's allowed and it is, and he's operating. This is exactly what he's doing. He's undermining President Trump. He continues to do this. Do you think, inside the intelligence community. He has friends, cohorts, people working under him. And I worry inside the Department of Justice, there are those that may be beholden to John Brennan that are holding up Pam Bondi and, and you know, Tulsi Gabbard, God bless her, but she's got her hands full. Your thoughts on that? Yeah, absolutely. This is great question. So remember, he was part of the 51 spies who lied. One of the other 51 spies who lied was the guy that was tasked to run the January 6th fed direction cover up committee, David Buckley, John Brennan's old inspector General. From there you have, I mean, the networks involved in the 51 spies who lied letter, those were the individuals also that wrote up the COVID Origins intel community assessment that was manipulated and skewed and doctored. As we're starting to learn more and more about that. The delay in John Radcliffe's release of foreign influence in the 2020 election only came out. His assessment came out when he was the Director of National Intelligence at the time, on January 7th. That was slow walked by John Brennan's network over at the CIA. So he's still, in my opinion, John Brennan, through his surrogates, lackeys and proteges, still run the CIA. And not to mention his two other proteges, Ms. Slotkin, who was one of the seditious six. And also I think a cameo appearance was done by the incoming governor of Virginia, Abigail Spamberger, who is probably going to work on weaponizing against this administration starting on January 17th when she takes office and is sworn in. So I, I don't see a way that this administration survives unless they actually hold John Brennan to account. Not only Jim Comey, but also John Brennan. He is the head of the snake. And once you start to go after the head of the snake, others are going to have to start to figure out what the, you know, put them on defense, essentially. Real quick, Colonel, is. And real quick, if you can, is Brennan, should he be the number one target to take down criminally now? Is he the number one target on your, on your, your book? He's the most dangerous deep state actor because he's been in the system for so long. He's already proven that he's willing to murder American citizens. And he did that with Barry Hussein Obama when they ordered a drone strike on an American citizen. And that's only one instance of it. We remember that Senator Rand Paul did a 20 plus hour filibuster on a snowy day on a Wednesday in D.C. essentially calling that out. He has yet to be held to account for that. And that's just only one instance. I mean, there's massive amounts of treason that he's conducted.

The Chicago public school System spends about $39,000 per pupil. It's a lot of money and yet they rank nearly last at everything. You got kids that can't even read at grade level, not even close. Where's the money going? Turns out it's going to travel. Once Covid hit, Chicago public schools spent $8 million on travel expenses and not just anywhere. They were sending people to Vegas, they wanted to send people to Egypt. They were sending them all over the place. This is the Illinois controller on Fox talking about this. Chicago Teachers Union is continuously, you know, asking Springfield and asking taxpayers to pay more. Yet when we find out that 7.7 almost $8 million were spent on travel that wasn't at all related to actually improving the education of our kids, but instead went to things like safaris and hot air balloon rides, it should infuriate any parent out there. It should. And it's a lesson to learn of what happens when you don't keep an eye on people in charge at any level. But it's particularly bad with Democrats and blue cities and blue states. With me now is the youngest nationally syndicated columnist with his work appearing in places like the Gateway, Pundit and beyond, including Reason magazine, where I saw a piece on this very topic. Gregory Lakoff is with us. Gregory, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me on. All right, it's good to see you again. You wrote a great piece and reason about this. What struck you the most? I mean, look, Chicago public schools wasted $23 million of taxpayer funded money to buy tickets for teachers to places like Hawaii, Las Vegas, Egypt, as you mentioned. This is ridiculous. I mean, we have so many failing students in Chicago, Particularly, more than half of all high school students are facing chronic absenteeism, which means that they're not even attending school most of the time. So if we have students facing chronic absenteeism, not even attending school, then where does the money come from to fund trips to, you know, these luxury vacation resorts for teachers? It's completely crazy. Well, the money's clearly flowing. Let me show you this graph for the guys behind the glass. Cut three, please. This shows in 2021. All right, this is Covid is just starting to kind of end. $300,000 spent on travel. Okay, you got to send people to conferences. I get it. But in 2022, it goes to 3.4 million, then 6.9 million, then 7.7 million. In your article, Gregory, I read about a gentleman. Call him a gentleman. A principal who goes to Vegas. He rents a suite for his wife. He gets there days before the conference and then leaves before the conference is even over. I mean, what a waste. I mean, that's just the start of it. The same exact vendor that actually hosted the conference in these locations, like Las Vegas, like Hawaii, hosted the same exact conference in Chicago where not even one of these teachers who went through these conferences in Las Vegas even showed up? Hold on. So that means that. Hold on, hold on. You mean the same conference was held in Chicago, but Chicago decides to fly people who aren't even spending the whole time at the conference to Vegas to attend instead? Exactly what happened. And it's not only an issue in Chicago. It happens all over the map. I mean, New York City in particular just spent this year over $8 million in teacher diversity initiatives when New York City has a teacher population that is 42% black. I mean, it is. It is crazy. And the same guy who actually advocated for that $8 million being spent on teacher diversity initiatives is Zoramdani, who was previously assembly members. So it's completely crazy. I mean, the amount of waste in this public school system in the United States is ridiculous. While students are failing at levels we have never seen before. Gregory, one of the things that you raised was the issue of charter schools. And the kids are performing so much better, they're spending less per pupil. I personally look at it, $39,000 a kid in Chicago thinks money has nothing to do with whether or not these kids are going to be successful. Exactly. You're 100% right. I mean, school choice is the civil rights fight of my generation right now. And it is the civil rights fight and the most important fight of the entire country. I mean, Linda McMahon, the Department of Education secretary, was in a board meeting, I believe it was either yesterday or today, where she mentioned how important the fight is to educate our students. Because at the end of the day, if we do not educate our students right now, then in 25 years we're not going to have a country because the students or the people in 25 years who are going to run the country are not going to be educated. It is by far the most important thing. And you bring up a very important point about charter schools, which has proven time and time again to significantly impact positively students. I mean, in New York City, particularly Success Academy, the biggest charter school network is having students with 98% on average passing rates for the state exams compared to their public school counterparts which has passing rates of less than 49%. So it is a clear difference. They spend less money, they perform significantly better, and they also pay teachers at a fair price. I will also say this. When a kid goes to a charter school, his parents are involved in that decision, so they're taking some ownership in the kids education as well. It really also goes back to the household. You need parents that are involved in the kids education and helping move them along a little bit. And it's. As long as we have this, this burgeoning underclass where you have parents who can't read and write, no effort, especially from the immigrant community to learn English, these kids are going to fail left and right. And it's really a sad situation. I appreciate you calling this out in Chicago. Reason we highlight it because as you said, Gregory, I'm sure this is going on in every major city across the country. Where could people find you on social media? Why don't you give us your, your address? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So you could just search me up. Gregory Lykov, you can search me up on X. I'm, I'm on there. But really this is the most important fight, education for my entire generation. So this is what I've stressed on. This is really what I'm passionate about. So there's more back here anytime. I like fighters, especially young ones. That are willing to go to the mat on stuff like this. Gregory Lykov, thank you as always, buddy. Thank you. All right. All right, folks. Democrats are planning to do exactly what Trump predicted they would do in 2028. Wait, you see this? They say it out loud, folks. Welcome back, everyone. You know, on this program, when President Trump said that we should do away with the filibuster, it was right there here that I said, I need a couple of days to figure this out. Now, I don't often take days to figure something out, but this was such a big idea, a bold move to throw the filibuster out. This idea that you need 60 votes in the United States Senate in order to move a piece of legislation to a vote for passage. Okay, well, I came to the conclusion that we need to throw the filibuster out. And I came to that conclusion because I am convinced that Chuck Schumer will not be running the United States Senate. If God forbid, the Democrats take that body back, you'll have some ding dong like aoc, some radical senator like Elizabeth Warren will take over and they'll throw out the filibuster quicker than you can count to three. How do I know this now? Well, it's been confirmed to me by Eric Holder, of all people, one of Obama's former henchmen, the former Attorney General of the United States of America under Barack Obama. Listen to what he says about the Supreme Court and a whole bunch of other things. Yeah. Again, talking about the acquisition and the use of power if there is a democratic trifecta in 2028, and I think the possibility of that is pretty good. Supreme Court reform is something that has to be considered. Term limits, I think at a minimum, potentially expanding the court is something I think that also, also should be, should be considered. So he wants to expand the Supreme Court. Now, how do you think that would go over with Republicans? Not good. Which means the only way you get that passed, if they have the quote, trifecta, the White House, Congress and the United States Senate, is by throwing away the filibuster. Now, he talked about term limits. That's great, too. But he didn't tell you that you need a constitutional amendment for that. Wouldn't it be great to get term limits in? I'll back them on that one. But I can't stand the idea that the Democrats are going to come in, throw out the filibuster and have their way with America when we could have done it now. But we don't because Republicans don't have the Stones to do it. This is the problem with Republicans now. President Trump has the stones to do it. He's calling for it to happen. And when he calls for it to happen, you get. Democrats say that President Trump is somehow a criminal. Listen, one thing that should be clear to all of these Republican extremists and sycophants and the people who are either actively involved in corruption, violating the law, engaged in extrajudicial activity, is that the statute of limitations for any crimes being committed now five years. It will extend well beyond the end of the Trump administration. What are you threatening now to come after Trump administration members? Please point to the crime that was committed first, jerk face. Because the reality is they can't. They'll just tell you crimes are being committed, but they can't point to any crimes. But this gets their base all ginned up. And I know what they're doing. And they're trying to get everybody riled up because right now they're. They're losing and they're losing at a frantic pace. And I love the fact that they are losing. And so with that, we keep fighting. God bless all of you. Stitchfield's Army. That's what it's all about. All right, coming up next, tolerant leftists cannot grasp why minorities join ice. Or intolerant leftists, I don't know. Leftists can't figure it out. Talk about it. You know, I've got more proof. The Democrats, specifically liberal Democrats in the media, are just plain dumb. This woman used to work for msnbc. Her name is Crystal Ball. Yes, that's her name, Crystal Ball. I mean, if her dad's a Democrat, he named her Crystal Ball. Roll it. They're Hernandez or something. It's like, what is. What is wrong with you? Not only do you not have morality, apparently you don't have self preservation. I mean, this is. These people hate you. They hate you. They hate your family, they hate your kids, they hate your future grandkids. They don't think you belong here. You're not a quote unquote heritage American. You're never gonna belong. Minorities not to join ice. By the way, I always comment on people's looks. She's the first liberal that actually is pretty. I usually don't wear makeup. She's put together well. So Crystal Ball telling minorities not to join ice. It's a dopey. It's a dopey assessment, really, because the members of ICE are trying to keep everyone safe, regardless of what race or color they are. And by the way, I checked this really quickly. It is a real name. Her dad was a physicist. Assist. Gave a dissertation on crystals. So Dr. Ball named his daughter Crystal Ball. Go figure. That's going to do it for us. I'm Grant Stinchfield. Stitchfield's army roles. We will see you back here tomorrow. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
