Descripción

Lots to discuss and I hope we get to all of it today, though I doubt it. Just too much, and I need to make bigger points. For months, the political spotlight has belonged to Marco Rubio. The Secretary of State has been sprinting across the global stage like a man extinguishing geopolitical dumpster fires with a fire cannon on loan from God. Foreign policy crises erupt every morning now with the reliability of Starbucks opening at 5 a.m., and Rubio has managed to stay in the center of nearly all of them. China flexes. Iran threatens. Europe panics. Somebody somewhere launches something at someone else, and there’s Rubio on television again, looking like a guy who hasn’t slept since the Bush administration. Meanwhile, JD Vance had largely faded into the political wallpaper. Not gone. Not irrelevant. Just…waiting. Washington is cruel to vice presidents. The office has historically carried all the prestige of being the backup drummer in a legendary rock band. If the president succeeds, the VP gets polite applause. If the administration stumbles, suddenly everybody remembers the vice president exists. It’s why men like Dan Quayle became cultural punchlines instead of political heavyweights. America remembers vice presidents the way people remember the side salad that came with the steak. And JD Vance knows this. He understands that in modern politics, invisibility is death wrapped in a necktie. So when President Donald Trump handed him oversight of major fraud investigations, Vance didn’t treat it like ceremonial busywork. He treated it like a launch sequence. Because this assignment is not small. This is not “chair a committee studying paperclips” territory. Trump effectively handed Vance a political flamethrower and pointed him toward some of the bluest states in America, where public money has allegedly vanished with the magical elegance of socks in a hotel dryer. And Vance appears eager to pull on every thread. The opening battlefield? Minnesota. Which honestly makes perfect sense. Minnesota has quietly become one of the most fascinating contradictions in modern American politics. It presents itself as the land of clean governance, sensible moderation, and aggressively cheerful public radio voices that sound like they apologize to furniture after bumping into it. Yet beneath that wholesome Scandinavian frosting sits a government apparatus repeatedly rocked by fraud scandals large enough to make casino accountants blush. Vance recently announced major indictments tied to fraud schemes in the state and posted this on X: Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you’re committing fraud, we will… pic.twitter.com/MNfkLlOY0R [https://t.co/MNfkLlOY0R] — JD Vance (@JDVance) May 22, 2026 [https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/2057628977934524450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

You Awake? - Weekend Recap 06-06-26

Elon Musk is hated, right? And he’s about to make his current wealth look like he’s been a derelict. $1.75T filing. He will easily crest the $T net worth. Are you listening to me when I give you stock tips? The Dow. Stocks in Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and others. My next play is energy stocks. Look, I’m no Pelosi, but if you sent me 10% of what you earned, I could buy a house cash. You worried about Iran? Not a lot of talk about it in the news. [SEGMENT 2-2] The Great Awakening 2 [X] SB – Woman asked how many genders [X] SB – Abby Phillip on ICE raids [X] SB – Talarico well-rehearsed Sure. Iran broke the ceasefire, and Trump is as cool as can be. Talk about disturbing to the Left. How can he be so cool as they try to propagandize the war? What does he know that they don’t? "In 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants.. In Switzerland, it’s 72%.. When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum-seekers who repaid kindness with crime, it's time to END the failed experiment of Open Borders."

Same Different News - Weekend Recap 06-06-26

Lots of news, but nothing really new. Then there's Al Sharpton. Ladies and gentlemen, if I gave you one guess regarding the topic Al Sharpton chose to discuss this week, how many of you would answer "slavery"? Congratulations. You've won. [X] SB – Al Sharpton on 250 celebration Picture of Andrew Jackson The amazing thing isn't that Sharpton talks about slavery. It's that he has managed to build an entire career from treating American history like a jukebox with one song. Every issue eventually gets remixed into the same conversation. At this point historians are beginning to suspect that Al Sharpton believes slavery caused inflation, traffic congestion, and the designated hitter rule. And now we're hearing that certain performers may be skipping President Trump's celebration of America's 250th birthday. Okay. And? I'm pretty sure the Republic survives. Let's be honest. America has endured British invasions, civil war, world wars, economic depressions, disco, and reality television. I think we'll survive Martina McBride declining an invitation. No offense. The funny thing about celebrity protests is that they always assume Americans are devastated. As if millions of citizens are sitting at home whispering, "The Constitution is nice, but will Bret Michaels be there?" The answer is simple. If somebody doesn't want to perform, somebody else will. America has never lacked musicians. Or opinions. Or people willing to stand in front of a microphone. Which brings me to Democrats. [SEGMENT 1-4] Same News Just Different 4 Because every day they seem to move one step closer toward a political cliff that they themselves built. Not Republicans. Not conservatives. Not MAGA. Themselves.

Platner Please Stop! - Ep 26-222

Democrats constantly tell us they are the guardians of morality. The protectors of women. The defenders against racism. The watchdogs against anti-Semitism. The sentinels of decency. Fine. Then here comes a man accused of being racist, anti-Semitic, womanizing, predatory, and every other thing Democrats tell us should permanently disqualify someone from public life. This should have been easy. This should have taken three seconds. Question: "Do you condemn him?" Answer: "Yes." Done. Interview over. Go get coffee. But that's not what happened. Instead we got Olympic-level gymnastics. All they needed to do is denounce a racist, anti-Semite, womanizing, pedophile Nazi. AND THEY COULDN’T DO IT. [X] SB – Elizabeth Warren pressed on Graham Platner “Maine can evaluate Platner not for who he was, but for who he is today.” See if you recognize the common theme here… [X] SB – Schiff dodges Platner question (46s) “Ultimately it will be up to the citizens of Maine to decide how important those issues are” [X] SB – CO gubernatorial candidate asked about Platner He spoke with Kaitlan Collins on meeting the standard, and was asked about Platner. He refused to comment, and pivoted saying, “I’m busy running for the governor of CO”. Standard of public behavior. These are the same people who can identify a microaggression from orbit. The same people who can detect an offensive tweet from 2009 buried beneath seventeen deleted accounts and three hard drives. Yet somehow they can't form an opinion on this. It's remarkable. And this matters, because Platner isn't just a person. He's a test. A stress test.

Fed Up - Ep 26-221

Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show, where every day I wake up wondering if the Democrats can possibly generate more insanity than they did the day before, and every day they answer me with the enthusiasm of a game-show contestant who just discovered the show has UNLIMITED BONUS ROUNDS. I don't know whether to be impressed or concerned. You have to give these people credit. If chaos were an Olympic sport, the Left would have enough gold medals to sink a cargo ship. Just when you think we've reached peak absurdity, another scandal pops up. Another fraud scheme gets exposed. Another government program turns out to be less about helping Americans and more about helping somebody's cousin buy a third vacation home. We're learning more every day about waste, fraud, and abuse that somehow managed to hide in plain sight for years. Obamacare. USAID. Immigration programs. NGO funding streams. Federal grants. State grants. Local grants. Grants for grants. [X] SB – Dr Oz on Obamacare fraud 9M on Obamacare Now 20M. Took the guardrails off. 35% Is anybody keeping up with the numbers? I’m beginning to think the government could run on 25% of the tax revenue it collects. What government program DOESN’T have massive fraud? At some point government became that relative who keeps borrowing money because he's "between jobs," except he's been between jobs since the Reagan administration and somehow owns a boat. And notice the pattern. The scandal isn't even the scandal anymore. The cover-up becomes the scandal. Then the cover-up of the cover-up becomes the scandal. Then the media arrives to explain why you shouldn't be looking at any of it. It's almost beautiful in its predictability. Imagine robbing a bank and then holding a press conference demanding fact-checkers investigate the bank for noticing. That's modern politics.

Trust Broken - Ep 24-220

Before we get into the other races and some of the numbers from the election, let’s look at Fraud As for the broader political landscape, to paraphrase Scripture, there will be fraud and rumors of fraud. Every election cycle now follows the same pattern. Somebody raises concerns. Somebody else says those concerns are ridiculous. Then months later everyone discovers the concerns were at least worth discussing. The real issue isn't whether fraud exists. Of course it exists. The real issue is why we're so uncomfortable having honest conversations about preventing it. Banks don't apologize for security cameras. Casinos don't apologize for surveillance. Airports don't apologize for identity verification. Yet suggest election safeguards and suddenly people act as though you've proposed installing medieval drawbridges around polling places. Our trust has been broken so often, we trust very little. Trust isn't created by demanding trust. Trust is created through verification. That's true in business. It's true in relationships. And it's true in elections. Bombshell lawsuit exposes 873,000 'ghost' voters in California https://trib.al/esgpNbf [https://t.co/VLLu1WrCr4] [X] SB – CBS report… Paul Randall.
