Fraud talk, Redistricting with Hakeem Jefferies, SRO's assaulted at High school, & the Lightning Round

During the commercial break, we were on, we were on YouTube and Rumble Live. And I was trying to, we were laughing about the, the Biden-Trump debate, which is just, it takes me back. It takes me back to a worse time. A simpler time, but a worse time. And Joan, Shang Gang, Shanga, Kawa. Yep. Do you remember that? How could you forget? So, all right, so here's the thing. I wanted to, I was trying to, I wasn't even trying to get lost. I wasn't trying to get lost in the Biden stuff, but it's hard not to. I got lost like he did when he gets on stage with one set of stairs and then he would get lost on his way off. But what I really wanted to do during the commercial break was I wanted to play one more fraud clip from the press conference yesterday. And I didn't get to it. And then Mason started giving me the windmill of doom, which is like, dude, you got to wrap it up because we got to get back on the radio. And I accidentally said Mason's giving me the finger. This is what I meant. He was giving me the windmill finger. And it gets like really frantic. I was like way too. You were pretty frantic. It was a little frantic. Oh, okay, before we get to the Hawaii thing, Ken, did you hear what Mason's going to do for the 4th of July? Allegedly. It's July froth. Allegedly. He's going to grow his fro out until the 4th of July for freedom, and then we're going to put half of it in Cornrose. Yeah, baby. Doesn't that sound sick? Yes, sir. We got to vote from Ken Weaver. Oh! It's going to be awesome. Yeah, there's a YouTube poll up right now, Ken, if you weren't aware, and people are 50-50 on it right now. It's surging. The walk-up vote is unbeatable. Dude, your hair is rocking. Wouldn't it be sick to have half of it in corn row? So we'll do it on the air. Wait, half of it? Just half, Ken. Chris only wants to do half of it, not even a full commitment. No, dude, I got to say leave the pro. Ken, it's all the way or no, man. Your ballot was already cast.

I'm putting my foot down. The ballot turned in his ballot. No, no, no, rewind the tape. We got a whoo. I mean, there's no, there's no in between with Brother Hand. It either is or it isn't. It's full send or no. He's taken over Nenka poops and now he's taken over this. Nope. And we're going to do it on the air. We've already confirmed that we're going to have somebody filling in for Mason because I don't want him having to mess up the cornrows trying to answer phones and do the camera switcher and all the board stuff. You never know. Well, that could get hectic. I mean, how patriotic are you going to look? So anyway, anyway, I wanted to play one more, one more fraud clip from the JD press conference yesterday. He talked about the betrayal that's happening in Hawaii, much like the betrayal you just saw with Ken Weaver trying to change his boat after he cast his ballot. I think, I mean, you decide which was worse. But this is JD on Hawaii Medicare fraud, Medicaid fraud. Let me highlight this with just a couple of separate statistics. So the Hawaii Medicaid fraud, excuse me, the Hawaii Medicaid program has received billions and billions of dollars from the federal taxpayers. And of course, Hawaii taxpayers have paid in a lot of money into this program over the last years as well. Guess how many convictions or indictments has Hawaii had over the last few years in its Medicaid fraud program? The answer is zero. Not a single indictment. not a single conviction because the administrators of the Hawaii program just don't take it seriously. They don't think that fraud is a big enough problem. They don't care about protecting resources. They don't care about protecting that Medicaid program. So what does that mean? That means that if you're committing fraud and Medicaid in Hawaii, at least up until now, hopefully now they're going to take it seriously, you have had effectively free reign from the government of Hawaii to commit as much fraud as you want. That is a complete disgrace. He's absolutely right. It is mind-numbing. It is stunning. But this is what we get. Luckily, we have the Anti-Fraud Task Force. They're looking into it, and we give them all the credit in the world for the work that they're doing. Again, all I want to see now is silver bracelets start getting handed out, and this will be full circle. And once we stop the fraud, these programs are going to be way more viable for many, many years. We're going to save a lot of money as a country. And when we're $39 trillion in debt, every dollar saved is a dollar earned. Everybody knows that. Elsewhere, redistricting war is still continuing. And you know that the Democrats are losing.

when they just keep going to the well to scream racism, racism, racism. And they did that again yesterday. Eric Daugherty on X is one of my favorite follows. He described this from Hakeem Jeffries as a schizophrenic meltdown because he was chasing ghosts, ghosts of the Confederacy. My Confederacy. This is how Hakeem Jeffries is dealing with the latest losses that they've been dealt. On redistricting in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia is going to be running a special session for redistricting, which we'll talk about in a second. But Hakeem Jeffries absolutely beside himself. So he had to bring up more racism. Because we know this unprecedented assault on black political representation, the likes of which we have not seen since the Jim Crow era, the ghosts of the Confederacy. has afflicted the United States Supreme Court majority and is invading and haunting the nation right now, and we take that seriously. Ah! Are the ghosts in the room with you right now? Ah! And we know it's going to continue, which is why Democrats are committed to launching a decisive and overwhelming response in advance of the 28 election. to ensure that it's the American people who are the ones who get to decide. who's in the majority in the House, who's in the majority in the Senate, and ultimately in 2028, who gets elected as the next president of the United States of America? Oh, so now the Democrats are going to do the exact same thing that they've been doing and that the Republicans did to fight back, because when they do it, it's democracy, when we do it, it's cheating. Let's set the record straight here just for a second, though, as he's talking about the ghosts of the Confederacy. Who freed the slaves? That's right. It was the Republicans. Republicans passed the 13th Amendment ending slavery. Republicans passed the 14th Amendment granting birthright citizenship for slaves. And Republicans passed the 15th Amendment, which allowed black men to vote in this nation. Weird. Also, I don't know if you know this, but the first 23 elected black men to Congress were. Republicans. Weird. Democrats were actually the party of the Confederacy. Democrats were the party of Jim Crow. Democrats were the party of the segregation and Democrats are the party of the KKK. And you can actually make the argument that the Democrats are still the party of the KKK because as we found out with the SPLC, just a few weeks back, they're funding the KKK. So. Scrolling with Haley, join Haley Caronea as she scrolls through the biggest headlines. If you haven't watched this show before, we do blind reactions. I have not seen these videos, so I am seeing them for the first time with all of you. We're going to implement the tinfoil hat time segments and all the stuff you know and love. And I'm going to finish the show and answer some of your questions. Someone asked me, what made you get into podcasting, and I was producing podcasts for other people. And I was like, I could do this for myself. And here I am. Scrolling with Haley, follow and listen on your favorite platform.

Are the ghosts of the Confederacy in the room with you right now, Hakeem. Is that what we're doing? You know, I was, so I'm doing my show prep last night. There was a big hearing yesterday on Sharia law, which was really good. We don't have enough time to get through all of it. But one thing stood out to me, and I think it applies here. Representative Wesley Hunt, I don't know if you know this, he's black. I found out for the first time yesterday. I was stunned. I was stunned. I said, what? How could a black man represent a white man? I thought that stuff was incompatible, and it feels like that when you listen to these Democrat talking points. But, you know, Steve Cohen, totally fine. But Wesley Hunt, pushed back on what he's calling reinvigorated talk of Jim Crow. And he was also defending the idea that America is a Christian nation. But I just, I think that this is important for everyone to hear and Democrats as well. Wesley Hunt was on an absolute rant of a lifetime. And you can tell, you can absolutely tell that this kind of talk from the Democrat Party about Jim Crow about racism. It is infuriating to him. And he lets everybody know exactly why. I'm seeing a lot of talk from my colleagues on the left, too, as we shift toward this reinvigorated talk about Jim Crow and the past of this country. And as someone who is a direct descendant of a slave, as someone whose great-great-grandfather was born on a plantation, I can assure you, slavery is over. Jim Crow is dead. When I go anywhere, I don't see any white-only signs. I don't, I promise you. I am a black man that represents a white majority district in Texas. The great, great grandson of a man born in the plantation stands before you today as a proud conservative Republican from Texas. as a believer and follower in Christ, and as a believer in what this country can be if we allow equality for not just Muslim Americans, not just Buddhist Americans, but also Christian Americans like yourself. God bless you, young man. You give me a lot of hope for the future of this country. Thank you for having the courage that you'll bet the remainder of my time. Wesley Hunt, man, absolute goosebumps. My great-grandfather was a slave? I'm in the United States Congress. And he's absolutely right. When's the last time you saw a whites only sign? When's the last time you saw a colored only sign? We don't have him anymore. And all this talk of Jim Crow and all of this talk of racism is just bovine scatology. And everybody knows it. Bravo to Wesley Hunt for stepping up. He is, Wesley Hunt is a future star in the Republican Party. Because he doesn't deal with the BS. Miss him with that. He's not going to listen to your emotional talking points, your radical left rhetoric, because he is proof that you can make it no matter what the color of your skin is. It's about ideas. It's about values. I mean, I think you can point at the other aisle and you can say there's proof over there too.

I care about his character, his values, how based he is. And I don't know, down the road, 20 years, would you vote for Wesley Hunt for president? I sure as hell would. So Segal High School in Murphy'sboro. Yeah. Two kids started fighting SRO officers. So one of them started punching an SRO officer in the face and was taken, right? He was taken into custody. Is that how the story goes? And then another guy got wind of it. and then barged in and started punching him. Yeah, wild. Talk about an advertisement for homeschooling. For real. If there are kids at the high school that are willing to do that to an SRO officer, what are they willing to do to your child? I'm just saying when I was zoned for a certain school, I believe it was McGavoc, there was alleged stabbings that happened at the school. Allegedly. We moved away. Yeah, dude. Logical reasons. I mean, I just don't understand. I mean, well, I say I don't understand. I do understand to a certain extent. There's a lot of people out there that are just working hard and they, you know, there's no other real option. But choose your hard, man. Home schooling, especially high school kids, I think homeschooling is way easier. Because you just kind of like set it and forget it, man. You just tell them what they got to do and then they go do it. Then you just... gin them up be like you know you can get this done in four days and have a three day weekend true it's like oh all right cool i'm telling you man back in my day the schools i went to and i know i'm that old man saying back in my day those kids would have regretted that right there on the spot yeah Oh, with the SRO? Well, it wouldn't have been an SRO. Yeah. It would have been a coach or a teacher that would have flattened them right out. And they probably would have been no charges filed at the end of the day because they don't want to ruin these kids' lives for making a dumb choice. Yeah. Which is like, I mean, that's the other side of the thing that's tough for these kids. It's like, you made a huge mistake. Now it's going to be impacting you for the rest of your life. And then it would have been just better to just get laid out. and flattened and learn the hard way, and then that's that. Oh, it would have happened. Yeah. I guarantee in the East Texas and the Oklahoma schools I went to back in the 70s and 80s, that just did not happen. Now, it might have happened, you know, in the larger districts. I mean, I didn't grow up in large towns, but that culture just was not like it is today. No, not at all. These kids are... The ones that act out like this, they know they can get away with it. And they do. And they don't care. Yeah, it's crazy. I got a great review here. You ready? You ready for the review I got? 7751. Your show's going down fast. You've talked about cornrows, half of your show. Gross. Very little news talk. Gross. No talk about the homeless population in Murphysboro, ICE and Tennessee, deportation. In kindness, but the truth. And so tired of hearing about your family eating out of the trophy. No quality anymore. To be fair, we haven't eaten out of the trophy and well over a week. Rough days. I'm not allowed to joke. We're not allowed to have fun. I think we should have fun.

Fun is the only part of Worth Living. That's true. Plus, I did a lot of news today, actually. It's so much news. I did Tulsi Gabbard being rated by the CIA, her office, taking MK Ultra documents and JFK assassination documents. I did redistricting with Hakeem Jeffries, brought that amazing audio from Wesley Hunt. I did JD Vance and the fraud prosecutions and the anti-fraud task force. I did Donald Trump in China. What do you mean? I didn't do any news. I'll tell you what. Tell you what. We'll double down right now. And we'll get to a bunch of news, a ton of news, rapid fire news. I guess you could say it's going to be lightning fast. Because we've got the lightning rounds. It's the... Chris Hand. We do it every day at this time. All the stories that we couldn't fill a whole segment with, stories that we didn't have a chance to get to. We like to call it the Lightning Round. And we do it every day at this time. I'm excited. I've got some really good stories here in the Lightning Round. Let's start with this one. A lot of times when it comes to... police, right? The stories only make the news when it's bad, right? It's like, oh my gosh, that guy was overdosing from fentanyl, but a cop put his knee in his back. You know, it's stuff like that. What? That's usually the only time we hear about it. But every doubt again, we do get some amazing stories. And this one is out of Chattanooga. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe not. A little bit to the south of us here. A Chattanooga police officer was an absolute hero. Make no mistake about it. His name is Officer Eli Rogers. And if you're watching us on Super Talk TV, I'm going to have the video of everything that went down. This guy saved a mom and two children just because he could because it was the right thing to do. The house was completely engulfed in flames. Officer Eli Rogers arrives on the scene, finds the front door locked and just beats that door down, runs inside. gets the mom and the two girls out. It all happened in less than a minute from the time he pulled up on the scene to get into the front door to getting those kids and that mom out. Officer Eli Rogers. If you know him, let him know that we salute him for the work that he's doing. If you're watching us on Super Talk TV, you'll see the flames engulfing the porch. They're absolutely coming out over the house. And it's all captured on the ring camera. But if you're listening on the radio, you'll hear everything that went down as well. This is Officer Eli Rogers, not wasting any time, not thinking about it, just acting. And we salute him for this.

Ticket at the door. You get to the door. He burst through the door. He burst through the door. He's in the house. He's in the house. He's in the house. He comes out with one kid. He's in the house. He comes out with one kid. He runs into safety. And here comes mom with the other child. Unbelievable. Forty-six seconds. 46 seconds, arriving on the scene, bursting in through the front door and saving everybody. I mean, now, if you're not watching on Super Talk TV, you're not getting the full effect of it. Because the porch is completely on fire. As he's beating down the door, I mean, he's getting hit with hot embers falling from the roof that's on fire above him. And he doesn't stop. He just keeps going until he gets through that door and gets the mom and the two kids out. Absolute hero. 100%. Again, Officer Eli Rogers. Chattanooga. Shout out. I mean, huge shout out. It's actually going viral everywhere. This was making the rounds on the internet last night. And believe it or not, Matt Murphy leaves CNN on it here. I saw CNN cover it. Oh, heck yeah. And so, you know what? Props to CNN as well for sharing a story in a positive light about a police officer. These guys, you never know. I mean, listen, 99.9% of the interactions are totally peaceful, totally great. Everybody's happy. But these guys never know when they may or may not be going home. They go out there. They do the job anyway. This guy, he doesn't know if the roof is going to cave in on him the minute he runs through there. You know, he's not a trained firefighter. He's not assessing the structural integrity of the building before he enter. He just goes. And we salute him for that. Again, absolutely amazing. This is Officer Eli Rogers. This happened on May 1st, but it's just been going viral recently. Got another story for you here in the lightning round. Another one. You think that they're getting voter regret in New York City yet? You think they have a bit of regret for voting for Mayor Zohran Mamdani? Possibly. So remember all the free stuff he promised? Alleged. It was alleged free stuff. Very alleged. I haven't seen any of those promises follow through yet. Have you? No, but you know what we do have. The United States Soccer Federation presents the U.S. Soccer Podcast. I'm your host, Megan Klingerberg. One thing I promised you is an all-access pass that you wouldn't get on any other show. And we found out that whoever comes on scores a goal. Burholfe, Freeman, trustee. U.S. soccer podcast magic is real people. We still got plenty of coverage all throughout this World Cup. Okay, let's get into it. The U.S. Soccer podcast. Presented by Henkel. Follow and listen on your favorite.

A ton of fees on all sorts of things. He is surging fees on ambulance rides and EMS on scene, tree pickup, park concessions, taxi permits. I'm sorry, I was under the impression that socialism had never been done the right way before and that he was going to be the guy to get them over the hump. Apparently not. It doesn't look good for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Zohran Mamdani is touting his proposed budget that wipes away the city's $12 billion deficit over the next two fiscal years. The mayor says it's a victory for Democratic socialism because he did it without burdening working people. Critics point out New York state taxpayers and Governor Kathy Hochul did most of the heavy lifting, covering $8 billion of the city's $12 billion budget hole. The other money comes from general improvements to the city's financial... management, $500 million from taxing wealthy vacation homes and $1.6 billion from pension restructuring. Spoiler alert, pension restructuring means that you're going to get less in your pension. Watchdogs say kicks the costs down the road to future taxpayers. Now, according to the New York Post, Zohran Mamdani's budget proposal also includes hidden fees and fines, like increases to ambulance transportation fees, charging people for EMS arriving at the scene, hiking tree replacement fees, and boosting profits from concessions in parks and taxi permits. The budget does not include Zohran Mamdani's main campaign promises to increase in... income taxes on the rich and corporations. Governor Kathy Hochul says that's a no-go. The mayor still says tax hikes are coming despite President Trump's warning. Oh, okay. Yeah, you know, the governor says it's a no-go because she sees the writing on the wall. If you tax the rich more, the rich are going to say, you know what I can do? I can pack up and leave. And I can go to a place like Florida or Tennessee where they're not going to tax me. And then I can create or bring my business with me and create more jobs there than I would create New York City. You're absolutely shooting yourself in the foot if you do that. I know it doesn't sound fun for a lot of people, but a lot of people want the rich to be taxed more. But these guys are paying a lot of taxes as it is. But the budget plan includes actually just more fees. Don't worry. It's not going to hurt everyday working New Yorkers. Unless you need an ambulance ride, unless you want to get a snack from the park, unless you need your trees cleaned up. Other than that, everything's fine. Also, no free stuff. No. Cool. Got another story here in the lightning round?

I just wondering how you felt about that lightning strike. It felt a little delayed. I don't know what you're talking about. I thought it was on time for what I planned. Maybe it was just me. Spencer Pratt is surging in the polls in Los Angeles. Speaking of mayors, mayors with common sense, making a comeback. And he is now shrunk the lead that Karen Bass has on him to just single digits. This is a massive win. You're witnessing. In real time, a political movement happening in Los Angeles because of Spencer Pratt. New polling showing political outsider, former reality TV star Spencer Pratt taking, making huge strides in this race for L.A. Mayor, the independent candidate gaining 12 points since March. Now trailing Democrat incumbent Karen Bass by single digits, Pratt's campaign in next month's primary, gaining traction with voters. He highlights LA's homelessness crisis and failed leadership. He does it very art. with a ton of social media and some pretty powerful ads, I think, have really helped this race for him quite a bit. Uphill Battle in LA to be sure. Let's bring in Jerry Baker. So Karen Bass now leads the polling at 30%. Spencer Pratt at 22%. Nithya Raman, the one who Spencer Pratt invited to come with me underneath the freeway. And let's find some people that want to get off drugs. You'll get stabbed in the neck. She's down at 19%. So he's leapfrogged her. But he is gaining ground and gaining ground fast. And the hit squads are already out for Spencer Pratt. I mean, they're calling in all sorts of favors. The iconic ad that he has. where he's walking in front of Karen Bass's house, Mayor, or excuse me, the Thea Rahman's house, Gavin Newsom's house. He's like, look at this is where they live. This is where I live. And he's at his burned down house with the trailer. They're actually trying to run a smearpiece on him on TMZ, claiming that he's not living in that trailer. He's actually living at a hotel. And it's like, okay, cool. But Spencer Pratt actually took the argument straight to TMZ and Harvey Levin. And it got pretty heated on TMZ. Campaign ad certainly made it seem that you were living in that trailer. It was a high point of the commercial, but you're at the Hotel Bel Air. So... kind of undo that for us. No, to be clear, that is where, excuse me, that is where I live. That's where Karen Bass, Karen Bass, burn down my house. That is where I will live until I have a new house. The air stream is a temporary facility. A hotel is a temporary facility. Where my kids are in Santa Barbara right now is a temporary housing. This is where I live as, this is where they burn my house down. So this, this semantics or the nuance of,

This is the consequences of their failed leadership. And again, I don't live at the Hotel Beller. I don't live in the airstream. I don't live in the Santa Barbara. I don't have a house. They burned it down. That is why I got into this race because of these people that will burn your house down and act like it's no problem. It's amazing, though, that this is what they're doing. This is how scared that they are. They have to nitpick a political ad on Spencer Pratt to try and ding him because they haven't been able to find anything else and make no mistake about it. All the Democrats in their race, all the opposition research groups, they have tried to find everything that they can possibly find on this guy. And the best that they can do is try and say, well, he doesn't really live in that airstream trailer. That's a lie. He's not taking it sitting down. So this idea that anyone's like, oh, he's at a hotel. I'm at a hotel because these psychopaths are messaging me every day. They're going to kill me because Nithya Raman is calling me a fascist because I don't want people to have their kids next to drug addicts at the park or stepping in human poop when you get your macha. I have common sense. That's not fascism. So these psychos here. I'm a fascist. And then they literally, like, if you like to see the death threats, I can send them all offline where people are like, I'm going to hire people to kill you. So yes, unfortunately, now I have a security team. And they will not, even if I wanted to stay in the airstream, would let me because there's 360 unobstructed view since there's no houses. So you can literally snite me out from any part from 300 yards away. easily. Spencer. What's that? What's that? Not to mention the air stream. It took over a month for LADWB to connect a wire for electricity to it, which was three days ago. It took weeks to get the water hooked up, which was yesterday. So for these people that want to focus on where I sleep at night, first off, I don't even sleep. I get four hours of sleep because I'm fighting these corrupt... freaking politicians all day long. You want to see my phone hours? I'll screenshot it. It probably says 19 hours. I mean, I love that he's fighting back. I love that he's pushing back. This is what happens when the Democrats are scared. He has a political movement happening in Los Angeles. And it is unbelievable to watch. Like, it truly, truly is. Never thought in my life I'd see this happening. Spencer Pratt, the reality TV star, is scaring the Democrats so much that they're calling up TMZ to do hit pieces on him. Are you kidding? It's unbelievable. Now, here's how you know it's getting even worse. Karen Bass is melting down on live TV because Spencer Pratt posted an ad, an AI ad where he's a superhero. She's the Joker and somebody throws a tomato at her. And Karen Bass, as you just heard, Spencer Pratt is getting legitimate death threats. His security team won't let him near that property because of how easily it would be to shoot him. Karen Bass is saying, oh my gosh, you know.

This is starting to take a violent turn. And this really makes me nervous that these ads that he's posting are so scary and so violent. But what's worrying me now is that his social media is now taking on a violent turn. And that worries me. Because when you do that and when your messages are so hateful or when you demonize people, then you do provoke people who are unstable. and you can jeopardize people's safety. You mean like the throwing of the tomatoes? Well, the throwing of the tomatoes, which look like blood, or drowning me and the governor in a reservoir. But there's also other violent scenes. And so I've noticed that it's taking on a violent trend. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's a violent fascist. This is what happens when you can't argue the points, when you can't argue the issues. You have to turn to Democrat talking points, and that's all they have left in Los Angeles. Jim Rome takes on sports. I will always have a complicated relationship with this game. But people evolve.
