The 7 Things You Should Be Talking About Today - 5-22-26

Now time for the seven things you'll be talking about today. Number seven. It's happening. It's happening. It's happening! It's happening! Yes! It's happening! Ilhan Omar! Finally! Getting what she deserves. Yes, she is under investigation. Immigration fraud, family finances, all part of that broader issue in Minnesota, where there is Somali fraud out the wazoo. Holy cow. This is so great. Remember when Nick Shirley did all this and they were like, what a racist monster? Man, they are exactly right about what happened there. They have nailed these people to the wall and they need to get them all. Prove, prove it. Prove that this was not only something that happened, but something that Democrats in the media protected. You're criticizing this? You must be racist. Number six. United States Senator Katie Britt questioned the Department of Transportation. On the long-awaited $1.2 billion Birmingham Interstate Project and the critical Gulf Coast Bridge project that seemed to be lagging on. And they're trying to get that moving forward. And she's like, look, this is a big deal not only for Alabama, but for the Gulf Coast across the board. We need to get this thing moving forward. And the federal government has a role in it as it's an interstate highway. So choppy, choppy, guys, let's go. And it looks like there is something that is going to move forward with this. Sean Duffy, the DOT chairman said, or the secretary of the Department of Transportation said, we know that this is important, not just for Mobile, but it's also important for the entire Gulf Coast when you're looking at commerce being able to move across the nation. It's a critical component. That's true. It's true. It's all true. Number five. All right. We've got it going hot. Yes, the war is going hot between Secretary of State Wes Allen and former ALGOP chair John Wall. They're going at it. They're going to have a fight over loyalty to Donald Trump, not the fight. I'm... be interested in getting into or is compelling to me. But I think that we all pretty much know that this is going to be one of the battlegrounds here. We're going to see a lot of ads on this. And to me, I don't know. I look at this and I'm just like, okay, go ahead and fight over loyalty to Trump. That will do nothing for me. But.

Allen attacked Wall, Wall attacked Allen. They both basically said, I love Trump more than you do. And the other guy said, uh-uh, I do. Okay. Number four. Governor elect, national championship winning coach, United States Senator Tommy Tuberville. Defended President Donald Trump against the ridiculous insider stock trading accusations. by saying, look, I never look at my stocks. You give it to someone who knows what they're doing. Okay, which has been Tommy Tuberville's response for a while, which the immoral lying idiots at AL.com turned into, I do the same thing. So Tommy Tuberville says it's not insider trading. I turn my stocks over to someone else and I never look at it. That's the same thing Trump does. And A.L.com says, Tuberville says, I do the same thing. That is not what he said. It's a complete mischaracterization. It's a lie. It's immoral. And they don't care. Now, oh my God, A.L.com's lying? What? Is water wet? Yes, it is. Yes. Number three. A governor-elect national championship winning coach United States Senator Tommy Tuberville and United States Senator Katie Britt both pushed back on Donald Trump's $1.76 billion Department of Justice anti-weaponization fund as they supported efforts to protect Americans from federal overreach, but not like this. Okay, that's basically what it is. I don't have a problem with this anti-weaponization fund at all. At all. Do I have concerns about people fighting cops getting money from it? Yeah, I actually do, and I don't like that. But it's designed to compensate people who suffered weaponization and lawfare from the Biden DOJ. Okay? And Britt and Tuberville both said people who were convicted of violent crimes against law enforcement should not be eligible. That's correct. Let's make sure that's true. Number two. The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it clear there has been some slight progress in talks to end the conflict in Iran. as negotiations continue amid ongoing tension. So yes, that's happening. President Donald Trump continues to threaten further action and says we could start bombing them basically. Right now? Are we doing it now? Have we done it yet? Right now we can start bombing them. Trump has made it clear that this might be evident, but I think we've been talking about this for a very long time. So who knows what's actually happening here? The vote to rein him in with war powers acts and stuff like that. No. It didn't go anywhere. It's not going to go anywhere. That's not going to happen, guys. But you can keep going if you want.

Time for the number one thing you'll be talking about today. All right, this is a big deal because it's been going on forever. And the DNC chair, Ken Martin, actually, I think made a good point here. He's like, I've really made this a big cluster mess. I've made this a bigger issue than it should have been by being dumb and just not releasing this at the very beginning. When everyone knew it was there, not releasing this report. that led to people going, oh yeah, what are you hiding? Which is a completely reasonable thing. It's a completely reasonable thing to say. Oh, yeah, what are you hiding? Oh, yeah. What are you hiding? Oh, yeah. What are you hiding? So that goes on for months. And now they finally put it out. And what were they hiding? Nothing. We already knew all of this. Kamala Harris sucks, Joe Biden sucks, Democrat messaging sucks, regular Americans hate them, working class Americans who are also regular Americans hate them. They focus too much on the elites and hating Donald Trump. They care more about trans people than your pocketbook. And by the way, none of that has changed. Not a single thing I just said has changed. Are they still out of touch with the working class? Yes. Are they still out of touch with rural America? Yes. Do they focus too much on Trump still? Yes. Do they continue to pretend that trans issues are one of the most important things ever? Yes. Do they support illegal immigration still? Yes. Are their economic policies brain dead? Yes. Did I mention they hate Trump and that's all they care about? Yes. All those things are still happening, except the report also says, well, it doesn't say this, but the response to the report from some on the left is like, you guys didn't mention hating the Jews enough? How come that's not in the report that we should have hated Jews more? How come that's not in there? Huh? How come that's not in there? So, yeah, they think that's it. They've changed nothing. They've changed absolutely nothing. And they're going to continue to deal with this because their base is rabid. And they're like, how come we don't hate Jews enough? And I know you guys think, well, damn, why you focus so much on that? Because it's the most blatant thing they do that goes to show you that all the stuff they claim to believe about tolerance and kindness and all this other stuff is an absolute lie. Every aspect of what they claim to believe in their nice guy routine that they do, Republicans mean, we're nice. No, no, no, no, no, no. They don't care anything about bigotry or hatred or anything. It's all about power to them. And the Jewish thing, the Israel thing, the Gaza thing, which are all the same thing, is perfect example of that. They're just hateful monsters. They just are. And also, they cater too much to the online left. I mean, that's true. They should stop doing that as well. Let's take a quick time out. I will return. You will tell me I'm wrong, but you, of course, will be wrong.
