Summary

🎙️ AOC appears to be fundraising for her campaign under the guise of a turkey giveaway for the needy, which is beyond the pale. The fellas pointed out that while she has raised money for actual charities in the past, this latest move smells of a massive list-building operation with political transaction fees skimming off the top, leading to local critics calling it a "typical bait and switch." 🐻 Then, California has no good options for Governor. In the latest blow, Eric Swalwell filmed his California gubernatorial campaign launch video from his primary residence in Washington, D.C., a $1.2 million Victorian bungalow currently at the center of a mortgage fraud investigation. We’re having trouble figuring out if he even has a house in the state he wants to govern. Maybe a Chinese spy can help him out of this jam. 😘 Part two of the Olivia Nuzzi saga with her former fiancé Ryan Lizza dropping his follow-up article. More insanely, Lizza discovered a fake tabloid article Nuzzi had written about herself, fantasizing about her Mark Sanford affair becoming public. This is totally unhinged behavior, but typical of most Journos. 🧊 Then, ICE Director Todd Lyons discusses the crucial work his agency is doing under the Trump administration. Lyons shared his unexpected path to becoming the director and offered a stark compendium of how different administrations prioritized, or failed to prioritize, the agency's core mission. He highlighted the massive challenge of cleaning up the mess left by the previous administration's lax policies. 00:00 - AOC's Thanksgiving Day Scam 10:07 - Swalwell's DC Campaign Launch 19:50- Nuzzi and Lizza Part II 44:13 - Home Depot Protests 52:23 - ICE Director Todd Lyons 1:13:45 - The Horrifying Link Between Sanctuary Cities and Fentanyl Our Sponsors: ➢Beverage America believes in the promise that makes this nation great.
