This is an AI-generated digital art poster. It shows a man resembling Donald Trump in a dark overcoat with a red tie, standing on a stone plaza that bears a circular presidential-seal-like emblem with an eagle and stars. Behind him rise two colossal humanoid robot/mech figures painted in dark metallic tones with American flag motifs (stars and stripes), gold eagle emblems, glowing red eyes, and epaulette-like wing details. Flanking the man on either side, at a smaller scale in the middle ground, are two pairs of identical gray-haired men in dark suits (four figures total, appearing as duplicated portraits). In the foreground on both sides are several smaller four-legged robotic dog/spider-like machines with glowing red eyes/lasers and star-spangled armor plating. Above the entire scene looms a large cracked/fractured moon or planet against a stormy, cloud-filled dark sky, with a faint lit dome resembling the U.S. Capitol building visible in the background between the small robots. A gold-bordered banner at the bottom contains large gold text, flanked by rows of five gold stars and a gold eagle emblem in the center.

All right, a couple more things. Back to January 20th of 2025, President Trump did this, right? He set the stage for this potential compensation fund, writing that executive order, issuing the pardons, great stuff. And I like to point out from time to time, as President Trump told me, every now and then, Greg, you gotta blow your own horn or else somebody will steal your horn. We helped, we helped, and we helped President Trump. Because sometimes, you know, you wanna make sure the president is getting all the information. No one has spoken as boldly and with as much truth as you about Ashley Babbitt. It was a bad shooting. My father, can you tell me that? Anybody. That's a terrible thing. I don't know if you know this, but the Department of Justice right now is still kind of fighting that case. The family of Ashley Babbitt is suing the government, wrongful death. The DOJ right now officially is still opposing that lawsuit, trying to justify it. Shouldn't that be something that can just be settled at this point? - Well, I'll look into that. I mean, you're just telling me that for the first time. I haven't heard that. I'm a big fan of Ashley Babbitt, okay? And Ashley Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan. And she was innocently standing there. They even say trying to sort of hold back the crowd. And a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her. And I think it's a disgrace. I'm gonna look into that, I did not know that. - He sure did look into it. And a matter of weeks later, a settlement was reached with the estate of Ashley Babbitt for nearly $5 million. Awesome. Now we also asked President Trump about maybe a compensation fund for all the other January Sixers, right? And now here we are, right? This is being actively discussed and considered. And we were part of the, I don't know, the conversation to make this happen. I'm kind of proud of that actually. Here we are. I do want to talk about something else though that kind of escaped my scan, all right? Have you heard of Matthew Perna? Here's Matthew Perna in Happier Times, right? Great guy, beloved by his family, community. Now he was there on January 6th. He didn't hurt anybody, all right? And they threw the book at him. They treated him like a terrorist. Ultimately, he committed suicide. And I have come to believe that he is a real victim in all of this. You know, they say the January 6th cops who committed suicide, I don't buy it. So his aunt put a tweet up today that got my attention. Oh wait, I thought Michael Fanon suffered these injuries on January 6th, according to his many appearances on CNN, a heart attack, a concussion, post-traumatic stress, burns, loss of consciousness, multiple Taser industries, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is just one component of the story that Jerry Perna, his aunt, reminded me about Michael Fanon. This guy is out there, still being treated as a hero. If we could see his picture, please, there he is. Yet he lied, and we have incontrovertible evidence that he did, and he's still walking around a free man. This guy needs to be arrested. And so do those other Capitol Hill cops, some who testified, even some who didn't. This was a conspiracy. This was a plot to destroy a political movement. And in the process, they destroyed a lot of lives.

Video transcript
You know, President Trump takes a lot of heat. They claim he's doing these horrendous things. Horrendous things to government, to the culture, horrendous things to the Constitution. All lies. I tell you this from a historical and legal perspective. In fact, it is they, his opposition, the abuse of power, the Department of Justice, the prosecutors, the indictments, the different jurisdictions, the abuse of the 14th Amendment to keep them off the ballot and over and over and on and on. Two unconstitutional impeachments, already plotting another impeachment, already plotting to destroy the independence of the Supreme Court and the judiciary, to stack the Senate, to stack the House of Representatives, and God knows what else they have in store for us. How dare they point a finger at him or any of us, what it is they who are tyrannical and have a totalitarian mindset. And look what they're doing in New York City, destroying it, absolutely destroying it. And in fact, the blue states are depopulating. People are trying to get out of there if they can get new jobs. Many people, they feel they can't leave. They have a generational attachment. But the only states that are actually growing, and I don't mean with illegal aliens, I mean with American citizens and naturalized citizens, are red states. Are red states. And there's a reason for that. There's a reason why the Democrats want to take over the whole country. So there's no escape. No matter what state you go to, the iron fist of centralized big government will be thrown at you. President Trump has a very small, small majority in the House and the Senate, and he's trying to get things done as fast as he can because he knows that there's a midterm election. We pray that we win, but we don't know. And he knows he has less than three years left in his presidency, and he's a doer, and he wants to get things done, and he's reaching into the culture, not just politics, to try and reform and protect and defend this nation. And people say, "Look at this. He knocked off a senator from Louisiana. He knocked off a senator from Texas. He knocked off this crazy congressman from Kentucky. Who does that?" A little bit of history. FDR tried to do that. The great FDR, according to the Democrats, greater than George Washington, greater than Abraham Lincoln combined. Nobody liked FDR. Why? Because he was a big socialist. That's why. But that for another day. Our friends at TeachingAmericanHistory.org, frustrated by the setbacks that his administration encountered in its second term, President Franklin Roosevelt took the bold step of intervening in the 1938 Democratic primaries. His targets were conservative Democrats, mostly Southerners, who had joined Republicans in opposing New Deal measures. In races across the country, he stumped from liberal candidates and denounced conservative incumbents as traitors to the cause of his reform. He explained his efforts in a speech, a fireside speech, that he gave on June 24, 1938. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but let me give you a taste of it. He said, "After the election of 1936, I was told, and Congress was told by an increasing number of politically and worldly-wise people, that I should coast along and join easy presidency for four years and not take the Democratic platform too seriously. They told me that the people were getting weary of reform through political effort and would no longer oppose that small minority which, in spite of its own disastrous leadership in 1929, is always eager to resume its control over the government of the United States. Never in our lifetime has such a concerted campaign of defeatism been thrown at the heads of the President and the Senators and Congressmen as in the case of this 75th Congress." He had gotten a lot of his new deal through, once he threatened the Supreme Court and many of the senior members started retiring, replaced with his appointees, but he was now being blocked by several of the more moderate Senators, Democrats in Congress, who said, "We understand why you're trying to address the Depression, but we're not all in for this socialist stuff." He says, "Never before have so many copperheads." That's a copperhead. During the Civil War, these were Northern Democrats who sided with, not the South, but with bringing the Civil War to a quick conclusion. They opposed war. They were anti-war. They opposed the warmongers who were trying to win the Civil War, and they turned on Lincoln, and they wanted to negotiate peace with the confederacy. See, we've been through a lot of these things before, whether it's World War II, the Civil War, and now the war with Iran. We've had the so-called anti-war types who don't want victory, and so you don't get victory. He complains about them. He says, "This Congress has ended on the side of the people. My faith in the American people and their faith in themselves have been justified, and I congratulate the Congress and the leadership thereof, and I congratulate the American people on their own staying power." So he slaps them around and then pats them on the head. He does this in a lot of his speeches. He goes on, "Following out this line of thought, I want to say a few words about the coming political primaries." Here we get to the gist of it. "Fifty years ago, party nominations were generally made in conventions, a system typified in the public imagination by a little group in smoke-filled room who made out the party states. The direct primary was invented to make the nominating process a more democratic one, to give the party voters themselves a chance to pick their party candidates." He goes on, "An election cannot give the country a firm sense of direction if it has two or more national parties which merely have different names but are as alike in their principles and names as peas in the same pod." In other words, the UNI party. The radicals always talk about the UNI party, whether they're the Woke Right, REICH, the Islamists or the Marxists, or Jess Kooks. "In the coming primaries, all parties, there will be many clashes between two schools of thought, generally classified as liberal and conservative. Roughly speaking, the liberal school of thought recognizes the new conditions throughout the world and they call for new remedies." And of course, the conservatives, Jess, the old school, you know, big business, big government, all the Bernie Sanders claptrap. But he says later, "With the head of the Democrat party charged with the responsibility of carrying out the definitely liberal declaration of principles set forth in the 1936 Democratic platform, I feel that I have every right to speak in those few instances where there may be a clear-cut issue between candidates for a democratic nomination involving these principles or involving a clear misuse of my own name." So he goes out and he campaigns to actually help pick candidates to take on these more conservative candidates. He's wildly popular, FDR won a landslide, but in every case where he tried to knock off a more conservative or moderate Democrat, his candidate lost except one in New York. Every other case, FDR's candidate lost. And it set back his administration. The party was angry. If he had won, they wouldn't be so angry, but he lost. Every one but won. He lost Walter George, a senator in Georgia, George won. Miller Tidings in Maryland won. FDR lost. Ellison Smith in South Carolina won. FDR lost. But he won this chairman of the House Rules Committee in New York, John O'Connor. He defeated him, but that's it. He didn't defeat anybody else. I want you to compare that to Donald Trump. Again, you got a couple vote majority in the House and you got guys like Massey who represent one small congressional district who are trying to undermine the president's landslide victory. One congressman, maybe two or three, because the majority is so tight. So they're trying to take his mandate and destroy it. And the president knows, President Trump, I got to get my agenda through. And I have a few of these senators who do the same thing. I got one senator who actually voted a removal from office in the second impeachment when I already was a private citizen. And he expects me to be supporting him in a Republican primary. What Donald Trump has done is what FDR tried to do, but failed. Not only that in Donald Trump's case, it's not only Louisiana, it's not only state senators in Indiana. It's not only Massey in Kentucky. It's not only the Senate race in Georgia with this Raffensperger. It's not only Cornyn in Texas, but before that, the president got involved in all these primaries in his first term. I don't think he's lost one. Maybe it's one or two, but whatever it is, it's inconsequential. So for those people who say, you know, Donald Trump's lost a step. You know, MAGA's divided. You know, MAGA's tiny, tiny thing that just represents Mark Levin. These are fools and buffoons. MAGA is as strong as ever. In fact, the Republican Party is MAGA. And MAGA is Donald Trump's movement. And we've got the general election. Everything will be put to the test come November. But those are the facts.

Video transcript
I spoke in the fall about the iceberg I saw ahead. Something's fraud that's much larger than what's been visible to the public. When I said that it wasn't hyperbole or rhetoric, it was a warning. And today I wanna talk and I wanna show here a sense of what that iceberg looks like. 'Cause I think people deserve to know what that is and how big this problem is. Because we can't solve the problem until we grapple with the size of it. So the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services pulled the claims data for these 14 programs, dating back to 2018. And those 14 programs in Minnesota have cost $18 billion since 2018. And more than $3.5 billion in 2024 alone. So that's a sense of the magnitude of the problem. These are the 14 Medicaid programs, which is just a part of Medicaid. These wavered services that have been flagged as having issues with program integrity and fraud. Now I'm sure everyone is wondering how much of this $18 billion was fraud. That's not the million dollar question, that's the $18 billion question. The answer is far too much. And the task ahead of all of us is not only figuring out how much of that money was fraud, because we know a significant amount was, but figuring out how to put an end to the fraud in our state and get control of it. So let me end with this before I take questions. The magnitude of the fraud in Minnesota cannot be overstated. It's staggering amounts of money that have been lost. But it's not just about the money that's been stolen and wasted. This is a problem that's caused all of us to question what kind of state we live in. I think it's eroded our sense of collective statewide self-esteem and confidence. It's caused a state, as I've said before, that has long taken pride in having a strong economy, good schools, beautiful lakes, mini parks, and a sense of community spirit and civic mindedness. This fraud really calls into question all of that. And I think, I know that it's gone on, it's been allowed to go on far too long, and we need to do whatever we can to stop it in its tracks.

A screenshot of a Townhall.com article. The Townhall logo appears top-left in red. The headline reads "'My Gift to the United States:' President Trump Offers an Update on the White House Ballroom." Below is a photo of Donald Trump outdoors on a sunny day, wearing a dark suit and light blue striped tie, looking upward and to the side with his mouth open as if speaking, with a tree and blue sky with clouds behind him. The photo is credited "AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson." Below the photo is article text describing Trump stopping by the White House ballroom construction site to check progress and speak with press, stating the ballroom is part of the "East Wing Modernization Project" (a hyperlinked phrase) meant to provide a secure, large-capacity event space for state functions. The text states critics have "falsely" claimed Trump is "destroying" the White House and wasting money, asserts that's "just not true," and says he is creating an event space for future presidents. The final visible line states Trump "had a message for those critics today," cutting off before revealing the message. A page number "1" appears in the bottom right corner.

A screenshot of a page (page 4) from a text document or press release, containing quoted remarks attributed to President Trump about a construction project, followed by a factual paragraph describing the project's size and timeline.
Text in image: "When this is finished, my term ends shortly after that," President Trump said. "This is really for other presidents. This is not for me. This is my gift to the United States of America. I'm going to be able to use it very little because, when it's finished, we're talking about six or seven months." "But it will be used for, hopefully, hundreds of years for other presidents. And there will never be anything like this built again. There will never be anything like this built again," the President added. "As an example, if we have the White House Correspondents' Dinner here, we'd have no problem." The ballroom, which will be about 90,000 square feet in size, will be able to accommodate up to 1,000 people and is scheduled to finish construction by September, 2028. 4

-President Trump is not a racist. I've been with the president recently quite a bit, and when he signed the legislation making the historic site, Martin Luther King's site, in Atlanta, Georgia, a national park, it was introduced by Congressman John Lewis. And believe it or not, that's one thing the two of them did together. It took two to do it. And I'm so glad the president has done it. But what is so outrageous to call a man a racist who continues to acknowledge the significant work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., my uncle in a positive way, and he puts his money where his mouth is. He puts his energy behind it.

From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior: “After eight years since its last repairs, the George Mason Memorial fountain was recently repaired and beautified. The fountain’s nozzles and controllers were all replaced, and the plaza surrounding the fountain was also rehabilitated, including cleaning of the George Mason statue and masonry work, as well as repairing and painting of the pergola. The first photo below shows the fountain, which is located on the north end of East Potomac Park. In the second photo below, the Washington Monument is in the background, and in the third photo below, the statue of George Mason is in the background.”

This is the first time I've said this, when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips. Hello, everybody. At the center of our plan for economic relief, our massive tax cuts for workers, it's called no tax on tips. If you're a waiter, a waitress, a bartender, a bellhop, a caddy, a valet, a hotel worker, a taxi driver in Las Vegas or anywhere else, anywhere, you pay zero taxes on your tip to income. Sandra's a waitress, and Brad is a police officer, and together they saved thousands of dollars thanks to no tax on tips and no tax on overtime. I have your DoorDash order for you. The tax bill was so big. I saved over $11,000. It has helped my family out immensely. I know as a bartender that no tax on tips is amazing, especially how much they're crying. I was expecting them all. After four long years of brutal inflation and then dividing, you deserve every single penny that you're getting now.
