Summary

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation
- Greene announced she will resign from Congress in January.
- This is a significant moment for the Republican Party, emphasizing internal accountability and contrasting it with perceived Democratic inaction on radical elements.
- Greene’s shift from pro-Trump to anti-Israel and anti-capitalist positions is highlighted as a cautionary tale.
- Donald Trump’s withdrawal of support is portrayed as the decisive factor in her resignation.
Minnesota Welfare Fraud Funding Al-Shabaab
- A report claims Minnesota taxpayers indirectly funded the terrorist group Al-Shabaab through massive welfare fraud.
- Fraud involved members of the Somali community in Minnesota, exploiting Medicaid programs like Housing Stabilization Services.
- Billions of dollars were stolen, with millions allegedly routed to Somalia and ultimately to Al-Shabaab via informal money networks.
- The commentary criticizes Democratic leadership and media for ignoring the issue, framing it as both a security threat and a failure of governance.
Texas Redistricting Battle
- Texas redrew its congressional map to add five Republican seats.
- A federal district court struck down the map, but Justice Alito issued a stay, keeping the new map in place for now.
- This decision could determine control of the House and contrasts Republican and Democratic gerrymandering practices.

0:05.4	Welcome, it is Vertical Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
0:08.7	It's nice to have you with us as Thanksgiving week, and we've got a lot to cover on the show
0:13.1	today that you're not going to want to miss, including a moment of clarity, I think, for the
0:17.9	Republican Party that deals with someone deciding, I'm going to resign
0:22.3	from Congress. Senator, your reaction to Marjorie Taylor Green saying, I'm out. Well, Marjorie Taylor Green
