It is awfully convenient, by the way, that it's St. Patrick's Day, because I can remember it each year. I don't know about you, but this, like, you know, time passes, and unless there's some relevant marker on that day, you're like, oh, wait, that's. It's already been six years. I don't even remember when I started. You ever have one of those where you, like, have to fill out an application for something, or you have to summarize your employment history and you're like, how long was I working at that place? What month did I get there? Yeah. No, it's convenient. We've got a major day, St. Patrick's Day. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody. It was exactly one year ago today that we launched this podcast, Vince and the big national radio show, the Vince Show. That was as Dan Bongino was beginning his work at the FBI, and of course, the rest, as you know, is history. Dan Bongino back in the podcast space, absolutely crushing it. I was looking at the podcast charts yesterday. He's destroying them right now, and this show is doing better than anybody expected, including yours truly. We're just having an absolute blast. Thank you for being a part of it. For those of you who've been with me the whole time, for those of you who've joined me recently, God bless you for it. I really appreciate you. It's just been one of the joys of my life to be able to put this together. And as you can see, with each passing day, we're refining, we're tweaking, we're trying to make this a better and better product more useful for you as you go about your day and just get a perspective on what the heck's going on in the news. Why should I care about it? What does it really mean? That's what this show's all about, and that's what we spend all of our time trying to put together. So thank you. It's been a total blast. And look at this team. Rope One says it's my favorite podcast. You're fantastic. Thank you for that. And that crazy mom says, so grateful for Dan bringing you on. Vince. I love your show every day. Yeah, I, I, I can't emphasize enough what a great operation the Bonginos have built. You know, this, this silverlock that they've put together that Dan and Paula have created with, with the whole team, with, with Jasmine, all of our great producers, we've got Gi, we've got Justin, we have Josh, we have Andy, we've got producer Corey, who's been helping me out with the booking on this program. We just have a tremendous team. They're just amazing. All very cheerful, great to work with, relentless workers, constantly putting all of the elements together and producing three shows every day. And all of this sort of ancillary things that go into creating content, you know, like all the stuff for social media and, you know, we've got Jason Howerton helps us with that. There's just actually too many people to even list here. But I just want to express my gratitude to all of them because what they've created is exactly what we all look for in our working lives, which is a healthy working environment somewhere where everybody's kind of all rowing in the same direction. You don't have to agree on everything. You just have to have a good, healthy team spirit about creating something awesome. And that's what's happened here. And as a result, here we've got these three shows, Dan's show, Mine, and Haley Caronia, and all of them are heading in this upward trajectory. And it's all just because we've got a good, healthy work environment where it's like, you know, the stress of like dealing with, dealing with a toxic co worker, it doesn't exist. You just constantly pursuing something better. So anyway, I've talked enough about what's going on here other than to say, I just want to emphasize, love these guys, super happy to be working with them. That's, that's the truth. And I hope it comes out in all the products we create. All right, let's talk about today. Let's talk about our great country. The Save America act arrives at the United States Senate today. And I'm not going to talk too extensively about it today. We've, we've had a lot of discussions in the weeks and months behind us. Now we get to the playing field of the United States Senate. Again, nothing guaranteed here. I'm seeing some of the betting markets right now think that there's like a 14% chance of the Save America act actually getting passed. Well, that's 14% more than anybody in the United States Senate ever expected. They did not, including the guys who were on our side, did not expect it to get this far. And yet it has. Okay, we'll take it. This is the next step. The debate begins. Here's Mike Lee last night explaining what needs to happen. Now here's Senator Lee.
B
So, yeah, we're turning to the Save America act tomorrow. I want to be very clear about something. Once we turn to this, we cannot, we must not stop debating it until it's passed. This is one of these moments where we're crossing the Rubicon. We've got to stay at this thing until it is done. Make filibustering senators speak, do not allow them an easy out. And look, in my view, we need to stay here in session. No breaks for the weekend, no recesses until this thing is done. We need to go full 1964 on that. And those of you who've been following this debate know what I mean by that. If you don't, reply in the comments and I'll explain it. Let's get this done. Spread the word.
A
The 1964 reference is the Civil Rights act of 1964 as Republicans were overcoming a Democrat led filibuster of the Civil Rights Act. Democrats definitely prefer racial prejudice and Republicans wanted to defeat it. So they passed the Civil Rights act of 1964 by a pretty wide majority among the Republicans. And you know, and that was, that was an example of how we can get a valuable piece of civil rights legislation all the way across the finish line. Well, here we are again with the single most valuable piece of civil rights legislation to appear before the Congress this century. It's the Save America Act. Pass it. It's common sense stuff. Pass it and mount your arguments. Create the political pressure on all of these people inside of the Congress and see if we can't get this thing passed. Nothing's guaranteed. It's going to take work, but let's see what kind of work we can get these guys to put in. Keep the phone calls coming, keep the emails coming. I'm getting notes every day from people who are hearing back from lawmakers about what they claim their position is and what, what they're going to do and what they claim their issues are. Perfect. Keep the pressure on. I'm so grateful to you for that. We've had, we just have. Honestly, this audience is about as energized, maybe more energized than any other audience on this issue. Let's say in this fight it's been, it's been really, really good. The Democrats are of course freaking out about this. Just to give you today's latest expression of the freak out. Oh, I didn't gavel into our meeting today, by the way. There we are. We're gaveled in now. Here is Chuck Schumer just whining again on X Overnight. He says not a single Democrat, not a single Democrat will Support the SAVE Act. Not this week, not next week, not ever. He's like Dr. Seuss, Dr. Schumer. There he is. We will not. Sorry. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes. Okay, you stick with that, Chuck. You stick with that, Chuck. You know, as J.D. vance said this past week, Democrats and their cartoonish opposition to the SAVE Act. It really is a tell, isn't it? Like, there's really no reason to be this upset about something that you say never happens. Oh, Eagles never vote in elections. That's never happening. Ok, then why would you have problems with this? Why are you becoming so hysterical? Why are you frothing out the mouth over Republicans, stopping some fantasy issue from taking place? And the answer, of course, is because they're actually cheating. They're lying to you. They're cheating and they don't like that. Fraud is being exposed and it's being exposed at rampant levels here. And the Save America act would go a long way towards addressing it. It's a great piece of legislation. It achieves a lot. There's a lot of myths you're gonna hear this week. The Democrats are gonna advance. And if Republicans have their act together, they will dunk on those myths pretty easily. Mike Lee should stay close to the Senate floor. And because he's very good at dunking on these myths and every other Republican senator, at least anybody who is on our side, should brush up on the specifics here so that we can dunk on all of the lies. Like this idea that American citizens are the ones are going to be blocked from voting. It's American citizens. It's just garbage. As Mike Lee explained earlier this week, actually, what's going on is any American citizen who doesn't have the documents required, there are alternate means to be able to present and prove they are who they say they are. You have to make a sworn attestation, meaning under penalty of law, the state would then have to verify that you actually are an American citizen to register you to vote using the paperwork they have on hand. And here's something that Mike Lee didn't mention in the viral clip here this weekend that explains all of this. If a government official mishandles an American citizen, just allow, like, allow someone to register to vote who's not an American citizen. That's what I mean to say. They can be held criminally accountable. That's a part of the Save America act as well. It creates criminal consequences for anybody who would defraud our system from a person who's pretending to be an American citizen to the government official who allowed that to happen, it it again. Is it going to be the perfect solution to all fraud everywhere? No, but it gets us a lot closer to fixing this election system and makes it way more credible. That's what we need. That's what we need. As the great Thomas Sowell says, there are no policy solutions. There are only trade offs. You're never going to have the perfect solution. But we can move towards something much better than we have right now because we've got a mess on our hands. In fact, speaking of the mess we have on our hands and that, that'll do it. On the Save America act today, other than just please keep hounding your Senator, we have a big announcement from the President yesterday. You know that the President cares a lot about rooting out fraud across the country. Yesterday he assembled a meeting alongside the Vice President of the United States as well as the head of the ftc, the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson. They are launching a nationwide effort to root out all of the fraud across the country. Here's the President yesterday as he's officially signing that executive order cut to watch
C
fraud in federally funded programs in states like Minnesota and California. This executive order in front of you will establish a new task force aimed at rooting out that fraud, returning potentially billions or tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars to the American taxpayer. This task force will be chaired by the Vice President. The Vice Chairman will be the head of the ftc, Andrew Ferguson, who is with us here as well today. But this is going to launch a whole of government approach to rooting out the very serious problem of fraud in federally funded programs around the country.
D
As an example, you know, you've been seeing it and seeing it pretty big in Minnesota, $19 billion. But that's only for one little aspect of the fraud. It's $19 billion. And California, as they say, is 10 times worse than other states are 10. And this is not a Republican, Democrat thing. This is wherever it's taking place. It seems that it's usually in blue states. If it's in a red state, we're going there too. But it seems that it's heavily, heavily, heavily Democrat.
A
It's heavily, heavily, heavily Democrat. And by the way, is this a guy who sounds like he's just out to defend one party and allow a party to break the law wantonly? No, he straight up said if it's happening in Republican state, we're going after you too. I want to remind you of something, Harmee Dhillon, who's the head of the Civil Rights division over at the Justice Department. She's been asking for voting rolls from all of the states in order to sure that they're clean and that they have integrity. And she's had Republican states who resisted her. So she's fighting them in court to get their voter rolls. This is not an administration that is enforcing the law in a political way. That's what the left does. This is an administration that's enforcing the laws that are on the books. And it turns out, it just turns out that these Democrat run states have a lot more law breaking. So they're going after him. Now. Minnesota is the case study. You heard the President say California is 10 times worse. True, we'll get to that in a moment. But Minnesota is the case study. Here's the President yesterday talking about all that fraud that's been going on in Minnesota that he's really, that he really wants these guys to tackle watch.
D
And what they've done is so, so sad. When you look at the Minnesota scam, a lot of it has to do with Somalia. Nobody's calling out anybody, but a lot of it has to do. But it's Somalia and plenty of others. And I believe the governor is complicit, I believe Ilhan Omar is complicit. I believe that your attorney General is complicit. And if they are, you're going to hopefully find out about it and you're going to be, you're going to have to do what you have to do. If we found half of the fraud that's taking place in this country and I think you have a chance of doing that, we would have much more than a balanced budget. That's the kind of numbers you're talking about. The theft is incredible and I think JD Will make, and Andrew will make a charge later on that local states should handle nursing homes and all of these things that the federal government shouldn't be involved in. It's too big. The federal government should handle military and a couple of other things when it comes to nursing homes. You saw where a young gentleman was going around and knocking on doors and none of the nursing homes existed, none of the nurseries existed. The money that's being paid out and the federal government pays for it. When you see all these people coming in illegally into our country, many criminals, many drug dealers, murderers, 11,000 murders and you look at California and more and more come in and yet they never had money and yet they pay them. You know why they pay them? Because the federal government is charged with paying.
A
We're not paying. Yeah. So what he's describing is that basically the federal government for years, like, you know, just a bunch of suckers, has been sending all your money out. They don't care about your money. They send all your money out to the states. The states, mostly run by Democrats. Mismanage the distribution of the funds. Don't spend any time staring at whether or not they're being stolen. Don't spend any meaningful time auditing how that money's being spent or they're in on the action. As the President says, he goes, look at Minnesota. That's a state where the top Democrats are in that state, including the governor. I think they're complicit. These guys are looking into that. Which, by the way, echoes a reality that the FBI has been investigating all of the top officials in Minnesota. We know that they've admitted that, that they've received subpoenas because of their quite evident corruption. So, yeah, these guys are like a dog on a bone. They're sticking to this fraud issue big time in Minnesota, and rightfully so. And the President says, like the government, the federal government should not be sending all this money out anyway. Stop it. Save the American taxpayer a ton of cash. If a state wants to administer some unwieldy nursing home program or hospice program or autism, let them do it. Just let them do it. And then let their taxpayers, the people who are closest to them, hold them accountable to make sure the money's not being stolen. Instead, right now, you've got the whole nation being robbed blind in order to fund corruption in states like Minnesota and like California. So this is why the President saying, I'm launching this task force. It's not just to prosecute the bad guys. It's not just to deport the bad guys. It's also to end programs that don't make any sense whatsoever for federal taxpayers to be funding. That's a big deal. Also, the President says on Minnesota that he wants his team to look into Ilhan Omar. Look into Ilhan Omar because she married her brother. The paperwork on this is crystal clear. She did marry her brother. And it's long past time we get to the bottom of this. Here's the President on that subject.
D
That's crazy. And Ilhan Omar, I hope this is part of it, but she married her brother supposedly. I mean, there's a lot of documentation that means she's here illegally and she's a congresswoman. And I hope you're going to be looking at that or somebody is all right. Because she's one of the ringleaders here. She's a. She's bad news. Really bad news. She's so bad for our country.
A
Yeah. She married a brother. Okay. She married her brother. This is the piece. The Washington Free Beacon had it, this, this past year. Just. It was a. It was a. They resurfaced it. They always, every so often, we got to remind everybody. Yes, Ilhan Omar married her brother. And it's written by Scott Johnson. Scott Johnson has been on this story for years and talked about how she is Somali fraud, Exhibit A. And her district was the center of gravity in the massive Feeding Our Future fraud case that Scott wrote about for the Washington Free Beacon in March of last year. And she said, he said rather that I'm talking about her marriage to her brother, Ahmed Nur Saeed Elmi. He says that Trump previously has garbled the specifics and that, that she was the one who is coming into the country on the false marriage pretense. It was actually her bringing her brother in to the country through the marriage pretense. Like they get. They marry each other and then she brings the brother in. Apparently, they were doing that. The family was doing that to get him out of his gay lifestyle in London around 2002. And that's the context in which the congresswoman tied the knot with him. And it's not just conservative media that have been digging into this. You also had the Minneapolis Star Tribune begin to dig into this, and they were getting very squirrely answers from Ilhan Omar's office through the years. And so with that in mind, like it's, we got the marriage certificate. The documents are clear. The legacy media has not been able to defeat this story. They've not been able to knock it down. And Ilhan Omar, insofar as she's mounted a defense, she just accuses everybody of being racist for bringing it up. Joe, just shut up. You married your brother, and you definitely deserve a lot more than just an investigation. The president saying that his fraud team, they need to look into it. Good news. All right. More ahead on the program. I've got more from that big meeting, including about the scale of the money we're talking. You just heard the president say more than balance the budget. I think he's right about that. We'll get into the details here in a moment. I want to talk to you about the company. I start my day with blackout coffee. Blackout coffee. Love my blackout coffee.

Thank you to Blackout Coffee world class sponsor of our program. All right, so Ilhan Omar married her brother. We got that. Oh, and then here's J.D. vance. J.D. vance described how what we've got going on in Minnesota right now, again Minnesota, the reason we talk so much about it is first of all, immense amounts of fraud abroad. Immense. At least $20 billion, huge numbers and, and a template for the rest of the country. If it's happening in Minnesota, it's happening, you know, in all these Democrat run states especially here's JD Vance describing the autism scandal in Minnesota where kids with autism had resources stolen from them by Somali pirates.
E
Here's cut five very important whole of government approach to tackle the fraud problem. And let me just tell one story. One of the things that even before this executive executive order was signed that we were able to stop under the President's leadership is we saw evidence that in Minneapolis there were Somalis, primarily illegal immigrants, who were defrauding a Medicaid program that was meant to go to autistic children. So they were taking children who were supposed to get benefits, and they were claiming that their kids were actually autistic even though they weren't. And what did this mean? This meant two things. Number one, there are a lot of people getting raised rich off of the fraud while American citizens got poorer. And the second thing that it meant is that you had autistic kids in Minneapolis, in suburban Minneapolis who weren't getting benefits they needed because Somali fraudsters were literally stealing out of their pocket. It's got to stop. And unfortunately, that kind of fraud is one example of probably hundreds just within the state of Minneapolis. And then it's repeated and replayed all over the United States of Minnesota, America. When we first started talking about this problem, the President made it very clear he wanted us to take the fraud problem seriously because nobody had until he was president. We started to figure out one big hole that existed is that the agencies of the government weren't actually talking to each other. So treasury would have evidence of financial fraud, but wasn't talking to the Department of Justice about it. Health and Human Services had evidence of Medicaid fraud, but wasn't talking to the Department of Treasury about it. So what this is executive order does is force the entire apparatus of the federal government to do two things. Stop the fraud in the American taxpayer and make sure that the benefits that ought by right, go to American citizens. Go to American citizens and not to fraudsters.
A
You know, in the private world, we have fiduciary responsibilities. Like, if you're in the business of managing somebody else's money, you typically have an obligation to manage it well under criminal penalties. And here you have basically the government taking all of your money and then not giving a damn about how it's spent. Just not even, oh, we have evidence of fraud. Okay, send it to the Justice Department. They weren't doing that. They weren't doing it. And so it takes the Vice President of the United States getting involved and going, wait a second. CMS has all this evidence of fraud and nobody sent it to doj. What? We have to send it to the Justice Department. They're finally doing that. What a difference an administration makes. What an abomination that we've gone for so many years without anybody seriously tackling all of this. They just pay lip service to waste fraud and abuse and then do nothing about it. These guys are doing something, and it's at scales that nobody even realized. It's huge. Overnight, we just got some new additions to this speaking of Somali fraud, Nick Shirley, who you heard the president reference, he called, I think he called him a young man out there doing work in Minnesota. He did great work. He just went to California and he produced another documentary, 40 minutes long, exposing all sorts of apparent fraud going on all across the state of California. This is really ticking off Governor Greasy Gavin Newsom right now. Here's just a small sampling. This is Nick Shirley showing up at a another daycare facilities the middle of a neighborhood, and this woman slams the door in his face. They say it's 14 kids. Let me make this full screen. Hold up. They say it's 14 kids. Take a look here. Yeah, there's Nick Shirley. Take a look at this video. Watch this.
F
Here is Hayden, Sarah, Family child care. This is a daycare right here. Apparently they have 14 children enrolled. Tell us a little bit more about this daycare right here. We're in the middle of the hills here in San Diego.
A
So according to state records, when inspectors arrived here, there were 14 kids enrolled, but zero present. And then this place was also cited for having missing children's records and also not having a facility roster.
F
It's kind of weird that there's this daycare in the middle of a neighborhood.
A
Hello.
G
I. I was naked. Okay, I can sue you. I was like, I wasn't dressed up. I'm Muslim.
F
Either way, can we enroll a child into the daycare?
A
She's running a daycare and she's naked. What kind of daycare is this? Is it naked daycare? The. The lady's naked running the day. What? I'm pretty sure you're not running a daycare if you're running around naked.
G
I don't know what's going on.
F
Well, it says there's 14 children enrolled here on the state of California, right? It says there's 14 children enrolled here.
G
You don't care.
F
I do care. Then where are the children?
G
You don't care.
A
Where.
F
Where are the children at?
G
It's not enough. Minnesota, you come here.
F
Where are the children?
A
It's not enough. Minnesota, you come. A word got out in the Somali community. Be on guard for Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley is breaking up all the fraud.
F
Where are the children at? Ma'?
H
Am.
F
All right, so what she's doing, she's making a video right now. She's going to send it out all to the, like, all the other daycares, but at the end of the day, enrolled for 14 children. No children here. And this is from the state of California. We're not targeting Somalian population. We're just going after daycares. And just so happens to be that all the daycares, they are Somalian. So far.
A
She's yelling.
F
Where are the children at, ma'?
A
Am?
F
14 children. Would you like to make a statement as to where the children are?
G
You don't care? Where is my children?
F
Ma', am, we would not be here if we weren't asking you.
G
You don't care.
F
What do you mean we don't care? This is why we're here.
G
And don't record me. You don't care.
F
This is why we're here to ask about these daycares.
G
Who you are. Who you are.
F
My name is Nick Shirley.
A
You already know that.
G
I know, but you a troubled man.
F
How are we making trouble? You're causing trouble.
G
Let me call 91 1.
F
We just want to know where the children are.
G
No, I'm calling 91 1.
A
For what you.
E
For what?
G
You got my house.
F
We haven't done anything. The problem with these daycares is that they receive money through a program called CalWORKS. But as you see, there are no children actually there. These fraudsters are simply enrolling children on paper to receive government subsidies. Even after the state visits these daycares. And confirms are no children actually there. The government and the state continue to give these daycares money.
A
I mean, what an amazing. So, by the way, I haven't watched the whole document documentary yet. I just, just. It just came out overnight, but it's about 40 minutes long. I encourage you to once again watch Nick Shirley's great work and. But I did see some more clips. He's like. He goes to this place where there's supposed to be all these hospices. There's no hospices. There's like, it's, it's all fake hospices apparently. And he goes to the little parking lot that's in the middle of this complex and there's these beautiful cars. He's. He's talking to people who are driving out in bed. BMW M8s. You know what a BMW M8 costs? It's like $140,000 for the car. The guy's like driving out. The engine noise is like just absolutely blasting as he's trying to drive away from Nick Shirley with a microphone. And there was a guy driving out like a brand new Tesla Cyber truck wrapped. It looked beautiful. Driving out of the parking lot and he's talking to these guys. Where are you getting the money for all this? Is. Is the hospice business that good? Where, you know, which hospice do you work at? Everybody's yelling at him. They're all upset. They're all jumping in their cars. They're all driving off. Yeah, yeah. And there he is. That clip's amazing because he's just, you know, he. He stops by the nudist leering center and he finds out that there's no kids. There's no kids, by the way, thanks to whoever in chat said that. The nudist leering center. She's like, I'm naked. I'm naked. Why are you naked? It's. I thought this was a daycare. What the hell's going on? Sounds like. Sounds like a big problem. Either there's no kids and you're committing fraud, or you're naked with the kids and you deserve to be arrested for a different reason. So which one is it? Which one? You're a troublemaker. You're. You're a trouble man. Yeah, he's a trouble man, all right. I hope the trouble man keeps knocking on doors. He's doing a great job. And the left is freaking out about this new Nick Shirley thing. Greasy Gavin Newsom is very upset about it. I've got more details on that in just a moment. And the risks that Greasy Gavin Newsom is creating to Nick Shirley's life, We've got to talk about that, too. It's all ahead.

That speaks to my, my dad joke heart. I appreciate you for that. Okay, fraud. What do we got going on we got a lot of it. So Nick Shirley's exposing it, which is great. Love. Love Nick for that, love Nick for that. And the left hates Nick for that. And so what's happening right now is you've got greasy Gavin Newsom attacking Nick Shirley and he posted an image, they posted an AI image on their stupid X account. Here, let me see. Here, let me pull this up for you. Here it is. It's Nick Shirley right now. Says Governor Newsom press office overnight. And it got, it has this, this creepy sort of corpse of a dude. It's an AI photo. It says, hey, can I see your kids? And he's got cameras all over him. And of course, what Nick is doing is not being a predator. He's exposing fraudsters is what he's doing. So if you were the governor of a state where massive amounts of fraud was happening at the expense of your taxpayers and federal taxpayers nationwide, wouldn't you celebrate somebody who's exposing all of that fraud? Give them the, you know, used to give people like the key to the city for being a good citizen. Right? You'd celebrate him. You'd welcome him to the state capitol, you'd treat him like a hero. Look at this guy, doing so much to help Californians. But instead the thanks that Nick Shirley gets is to be demonized and castigated by the Governor of California who is perfectly comfortable with fraud stealing all of his citizens money and federal taxpayer money. And Nick Shirley saw this last night and he rightly assessed that this is disgusting what Gavin Newsom is doing. And not only is it disgusting, it is kind of the early stages of conditioning a very radical left wing base to hurt Nick Shirley. Now the Nick has obviously become more and more well known. We saw it just in the video I played for you as the Somali lady with the fake daycare was screaming at him about what he did in Minnesota and now he's doing it in California. Clearly people know who this kid is. And here's how Nick reacted to what greasy Gavin Newsom did overnight. He says this is a disgusting act by them to do this. The more I think about it, really, it's just vile and disgusting. A small percentage of their base will see this and think I'm evil and eventually want to kill me because of propaganda created from the governor of California's office. It's sad to say this, but he's right. Nick is totally right. The left, as you know, has an assassination culture. They killed Charlie for talking. What would they do to Nick? Now Nick has been. I know that at times, he's done some fundraising for security to assist him as he walks around and just tries to expose this fraud. Nick's talent is to place on video a lot of the pieces that others have begun to gather. He's really good at surfacing these stories and getting them the attention they deserve and by extension, attracting more focus from the authorities that actually care about resolving all of this. Nick's an asset to this country. Nick's a citizen journalist, using the First Amendment precisely the way the founders intended. He's speaking truth to power in the interest of the people. And there are forces on the left that don't want to see him do this. And greasy Gavin Newsom is being not merely deeply irresponsible, he's being deeply dangerous in the way that he lies about what Nick is up to. And Nick is right to be concerned about threats to his life. And I assure you that he's received many of them already. And yet he stays on the street, knocking on doors, holding a camera, and trying to get to the bottom of what's happening in our country. Protect Nick Shirley. Celebrate Nick Shirley. Don't demonize Nick Shirley. This is disgusting what Gavin Newsom is doing. Assassination culture. They shot President Trump. President Trump got shot in the head and survived it. Charlie didn't. Charlie was assassinated. Now, six months. So that's the latest with Nick Shirley. Thank you to Nick. I'm going to have to check out that whole video. We also have Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller at the White House. He's great. He was over at the. The Oval Office yesterday, and he was talking about the scale of this. You heard from the president, said, I think we could balance the whole budget. Stephen Miller confirmed this yesterday. He said, yeah, definitely. This will be. This will be an epic effort. It's going to be. In fact, let me start with this. Cut six. This is the first effort of its size to actually reclaim trillions of dollars stolen from taxpayers. Watch.
H
What we found since President Trump came into office is that the Democrats have set up a 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 the Medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and volunteered that they were on Medicaid, just volunteered that these aren't the ones who are hiding it. Right. 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.
A
Trillions. Trillions of dollars stolen from taxpayers. This is the first ever effort. First ever effort. This goes back to what I said before. This bizarro world where you have government agencies that detect fraud and they're too lazy to tell the Justice Department about it. Well, that changes with Donald Trump. That changes with you, who've elect this guy over and over and over again. And here he is addressing this massive problem to our country. And if you notice how interconnected it all is, illegal aliens pouring into our country, ridiculously permissive immigration, legal immigration systems that welcome people in but don't expect them to assimilate. And then we're getting robbed blind. And you've got government officials who either on the take or too lazy to do anything about it. And that's how our country collapses. So what this administration has successfully done is identified all of the biggest problem areas, or as Kamala might call it, the root causes, and they're actually tearing them out. That's a huge change. And here's Stephen Miller talking about how the national budget would be affected by this. Cut seven. Watch that.
H
When this theft is exposed, we will see that if all of it were stopped, it will be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt. And this is the first ever effort to shut that down. Thank you, Mr. President.
D
First ever. And everyone knows they've been cheating for years.
A
It's the first ever effort to shut it down again. We need to stop him now. I see people in the chat, as always, they're like me. If I was in chat, I'd be saying the same thing. Like, when are people going to prison? Amen. Luckily, that's what these guys are up to. This is the reason the Vice President has yanked the reins on this. This is the reason President Trump has put the VP in charge of it. This is why Andrew Ferguson, the head of the ftc, is involved. And this is why they have a new assistant Attorney general arriving who's dedicated to prosecuting all of the bad guys who, who made this happen. We need more arrests on top of what we already have. The media don't tell you this, but you know, among Somalis in Minnesota, we've already arrested and convicted nearly 100 of them. Those numbers continue. Absolutely. So where are the arrests? They're here. And more are on the way. Thanks to President Trump. Thank you for that, guys. Appreciate you for that. Okay, so that's, that's a massive amount of fraud. Good to see these guys are tackling that. And a couple other quick things for you on illegal immigrants and legal immigrants for that matter. We got some breaking news overnight that President Trump has booted. Now he's booting off of the commercial driver's licenses across the country. 20000 foreign truck drivers, 200,000 of them. Now some of these guys, a lot of these guys are here legally. But the reality is the President's going, wait a second. We need American truck drivers driving American freight and a lot of these immigrant truck drivers, whether they came here illegally or otherwise. And they should, if you're illegally, you shouldn't be here to begin with. We've got to deport you. It's, they can't even speak English. And if you can't speak or read English and you take an illegal U turns and you're killing American citizens, maybe get the hell off the roads and let Americans have these jobs and let them get paid well to do it. You know, I talk to truck drivers. I've had truck drivers call into the big national radio show and they'll tell me, vince, it's crazy. You know, in terms of some of these CDL certifications, what's happening is like, it is, it's just like a lazy process people are going through. And I can see why some of these illegals are able to successfully get through without even speaking English. It's nuts. We need a efficient and clear and American centric process for truck drivers in the United States of America. Washington Post. Overnight, Trump's cancellation of licenses for immigrant truckers takes effect. Around 200,000 people will start losing commercial licenses under a federal rule that takes effect on Monday, a move that could mean higher prices for consumers. This is, it's, this is always the game, isn't it? This is how illegal aliens get into the country in the first place. Because you have lawmakers looking the other way on illegals pouring across our border because they have industry donors who are giving them tremendous amounts, amounts of money to look the other way and say, don't Enforce the law. Don't enforce the law. Well, that's how you get Americans killed and that's how you get Americans underpaid to do jobs that they deserve fair pay for. Some 200,000 immigrant truck drivers will begin to lose their commercial driver's licenses as they expire under a new Trump administration rule that takes effect Monday. Yesterday, the Transportation Department's rule, led by Sean Duffy, the great transportation Secretary, will weigh on the beleaguered trucking industry, which is critical to transporting goods across America at a time when energy costs are surging due to the war in Iran. The Washington Post going crazy. The rule bars immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or daca. These are. This is daca. DACA is an illegally unconstitutionally invented amnesty by Barack Obama from obtaining commercial driver's licenses. It's part of the Trump administration's widening campaign against immigrant truck drivers following several high profile accidents last summer. Yeah. Where Americans are getting killed. It's still happening. There's still Americans being savaged by immigrant truck drivers. Illegal alien truck drivers. Just last week. This is just last week DHS had this event. This, this is on their website. Dhs. ICE arrests illegal alien truck driver who critically injured American man in semi truck crash. Sukhdev Singh was just arrested. A guy who had a CDL from the state of New York. He's accused of causing a crash while driving a semi truck that left a US citizen hospitalized and in critical condition. Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bees says this. It is common sense. Illegal aliens should not be operating 18 wheelers on American highways. We're praying this individual makes a full recovery. It's incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens who often don't know our traffic laws or even English to be operating 18 wheelers on America's roads. Sanctuary governors like Kathy Hochul have to stop giving illegal alien drivers licenses before even more Americans get injured or killed. He hit a Pedestrian. Indianapolis Indiana. 25 years old. Police. Indiana State Police contacted ICE. Thank you to the Indiana State Police for doing the common sense thing. There he is. Illegal alien. Sup Dev Singh. And hard to see his. Let me see here. Let me see if I can open this up in a new tab. Let's zoom in on this bad boy, shall we? If we can do that. Here we go. Look at this. Can we see this thing? Yeah, there we go. Look at that. Oh. New York State commercial driver's license Souk Dev Singh Non domiciled cdl. He's. He's an illegal alien. He's been administered a commercial driver's license by the state of New York. You. We've got problems, ladies and gentlemen. We've got problems. And the Trump administration is doing everything they can to tackle it as we speak. And that's just the latest in a long litany of, of those types of outrageous and deadly incidents involving illegal aliens driving trucks in the United States of America. That's, that's really big. So they're, they're doing everything they can to fix that. So more on that problem, more on fraud, as we get developments on that. Thank God JD Vance is the vice President of the United States, and he's all over it as we speak. Speaking of JD Vance, there is a media effort to drive a wedge, and that's his words yesterday. He's right about this. To drive a wedge between him and President Trump on Iran. Now, think about what it must be to be the President of the United States. You have something called executive privilege around the president. And historically, unless the left tries to get rid of it and throw you in prison for talking to President Trump, historically, what it's allowed is the president to get all sorts of guidance and advice from the people who are closest to him as top officials without fear that all of this will leak and all of this will be made public. And it just allows them to kick around ideas. Now, if you have a real administration, not everybody's going to agree on every approach. People are going to offer different ideas. People are going to disagree. But when the president makes a final decision, everybody gets on board and they all move in the same direction. The media are trying to create division right now between President Trump and J.D. vance to suggest that, that, well, maybe they had different ideas about the approach in Iran and how to prosecute the war. And as a result, that there's something like very like, irreconcilable going on between them. And Jenny Vance is like, this is all nonsense. I completely agree with the President that we can't have a nuclear Iran. And the president has been saying this forever. Listen to J.D. vance as he was asked about this yesterday. Watch.
D
Second, I like it.
A
Past skepticism of foreign adventurism. Are you completely on board with the current war in Iran?
E
So I like fraud czar. 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 him, 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 its success and pray for the safety of our troops. That's the approach that I've taken. Make it as successful as possible.
A
So there's no hesitation, given your past statements, with the current operation.
E
What do you mean, there's no hesitation with my past statements?
A
Given your skepticism of foreign adventurism. You were a critic of the global war on terror for the previously.
E
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 of the past aren't repeated. Absolutely.
A
You know, there was reporting suggesting that JD Vance was offering some. Some different guidance about how to begin this and under what circumstances we. I don't know what's true here, but allegedly the reporting is that once a decision was made to strike Iran, J.D. vance's position was, okay, if you're gonna do it, hit him hard. We have to make sure we win. Hit them very hard. And sure enough, they're hitting hard. J.D. vance. They're going, no, no, no. I'm with the President and I support this president. Good for him. Despite the fact that the media is trying to create all sorts of nonsense divisions. The President also indicated yesterday that it's gonna be over soon. He was asked yesterday by Peter Doocy, the deuce was loose in the Oval Office yesterday. And he said, you know, what, are we gonna be done with this? And the President said, yes, actually, very soon. Cut 10. Watch this. Totally obliterated.
E
Got the missiles, got the first two rounds of leadership.
B
Air Force gone, Navy gone.
E
Can we wrap this war up this week?
F
Yeah, sure.
D
I don't think so, but it'll be soon. Won't be long, and we're going to have a much safer world when it's wrapped up. It'll be wrapped up soon. We're going to have a much safer world. I had an obligation to do this. I didn't want to. I called it an Excursion. I didn't want to make this journey. We had the highest stock market in history. We had low gas prices. Everything was good. And I know exactly, I know you're going to do it and people are going to raise the price of oil. But I know that. But that's a very small thing compared to allowing them to have. You want to see a stock market go down? Start letting them hit you with nukes, okay?
A
Start letting them hit you with nukes. This will be over soon, says the President of the United States. There's a piece today that's getting some attention in publication of all places. Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera, if you can believe it. It's written by an expert in Doha. And let me see if I can show you this. It says the US Israeli strategy against Iran is working. Here's why. And this is kind of fascinating, like a look. Yeah, there we go. So they say in the piece, it's written by a guy called Mohamed Saloom. And he says, when you look at what has actually happened to Iran's principal instruments of power, its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defenses, its navy, its proxy command architecture, the picture is not one of US Failure. It's one of systematic phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for decades. What this guy's getting at is this is working right now. In fact, he runs down some of the numbers. He goes. Iranian ballistic missile launches have fallen. Remember this indicator? This is the thing I was talking about with you early on in this. They've fallen by more than 90%, from 350 on February 28 to roughly 25 by March 14, according to publicly available data. Like they don't have missiles to fire anymore. Drone launches are telling the same story. They went from 800 on day one to about 75 on day 15. The figures drawn from US and Iranian military statements differ in detail, but converge on the trajectory. Hundreds of Iranian missile launchers have been rendered inoperable. According to some reports, 80% of Iran's capacity to strike Israel has been eliminated. Iran's naval assets, fast attack craft, midget submarines, mine laying capabilities, they're all being liquidated. Its air defenses have been suppressed to the point at which the US is now flying non stealth B1 bombers over Iranian airspace, a decision that signals near total confidence in air dominance. This guy says that this thing has been run through two phases. The first was to get rid of Iran's air defenses, decapitate its command and control, degrade its missile and drone launch infrastructure, and by March 2, they had air superiority over Iran and Tehran. The second phase now underway targets Iran's defense industrial base. They're going after missile production facilities, dual use research centers and the underground complexes where remaining stockpiles are stored. This is not aimless bombing. It's a method. It's a methodical campaign to ensure that what has been destroyed cannot be rebuilt. And now Iran's got a problem, a big one. If they fire their remaining missiles, it shows where their launchers are and then we destroy them. And if it conserves their missiles, they forfeit the ability to impose costs of the war. Missile and drone launch data suggest Iran is now rationing its remaining capacity for politically timed salvos rather than sustaining operational tempo. And, and look what, what you have here is kind of a fascinating piece, is basically this guy going, this guy, he's out of Doha, Qatar. He says the media are lying. The media, all these, like, drama merchants in the United States. Oh, it's a disaster. It's a complete wreck. It's all going to go south. It's like Iran is being totally and completely devastated. One more thing in this piece that you should know about that's not getting a lot of US Coverage, but should get some coverage here. Qatar and Bahrain. Let me, let me pull up this section of the piece you have right now. The Gulf states that are around Iran that are reacting in a way that the United States, that President Trump is grateful for. Qatar and Bahrain are arresting IRGC operatives. Iranian Guard Corps, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are intercepting Iranian drones over their own territory. The regional environment that sustained Iran's proxy architecture, including the grudging tolerance by Gulf states fearful of Iranian retaliation, is being replaced by active hostility. In other words, the Gulf states around Iran are done with this shit. They're done with it. They're shooting Iranian drones out of the air and they're arresting IRGC operatives. President Trump is reshaping the Middle east by debilitating Iran's capabilities to inflict terror in the region and against Americans. When we're there, it's amazing. It's amazing what's happening. It's good to keep your eyes open, keep your head on a swivel, and good to see the President fighting on all these fronts, including, especially today, at home here with all this fraud nonsense. Good to see that huge announcement yesterday as they're tackling all of this today, the Save America act before the United States Senate. Please keep the pressure up on these guys. It is, it's going the distance. I mean, so we got them to the floor of the Senate. Let's get this across the finish line. If we can do it, if anybody can do it, you guys can. I know that. Just keep the pressure up. Thank you for that. If you're in Virginia and you haven't voted yet, please go to the polls and vote no. Vote no on the attempt by Democrats to rig the entire United States House of Representatives. I can't emphasize that enough. That's a big deal. We've got a lot of fights going on.

Stephen Miller:
“…the first ever effort in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars that were stolen from taxpayers.” (40:14)
