THE WHISTLEBLOWER MONEY | In the Litter Box w/ Jewels & Catturd – Ep. 1120 – 10/21/2026

Hello, hello, hello. Today is Wednesday, October 21st, 2026, episode number 1120. Please remember to like, share, follow, and hit the notification button so you know when we go live on this show. You are in the litter box with Jules and Catturd. Hey there, Cat. How are you? Hey, hey, hey. How goes it? Happy hump day. I’m telling you, if we’re getting over it, that’s a good thing. It really is. But wow. I mean, what’s so cool is that what President Trump is doing, truly, I mean, with everything else that’s going on, this man does not stop. The whistleblower money. That is a huge thing.

I mean, yesterday we told you about the fraud tip line that had cut its first check, $10,000 to one person who picked up the phone. Well, today that same program came back with more than 40 names on it. And it’s just growing. So, I mean, here you’ve got, they said, oh, nothing is going to happen. I mean, it was a $10,000 check and it was handed on camera by President Trump to Nick Shirley. A lot of people who watched that and they thought, fine, you know, nice. There was a press conference. Let’s see if anything ever comes of it. Well, something did come of it. This morning, the Justice Department put out a release. I have it in front of me.

The headline on their own document says the Fraud Division, the Department of Agriculture and the USDA Inspector General, they have uncovered nearly $42 million in food stamp fraud in a nationwide enforcement search. More than 40 defendants, about $45 million in total intended losses, and roughly $42 million of that is SNAP. 13 United States Attorney’s Offices plus the Attorney’s General Office in Utah. Seven weeks. That’s how long this took. The whole country is just one big, giant, palms-y scheme with our taxes. What’s so wonderful, though, is in seven weeks, President Trump has been able to find a way to get people involved in it.

I mean, when you think about the fact that before they were just taking it and getting away with it. Now there’s a light on it. You’ve got independent… It’s all Democrats, too. All of it. In the blue states, especially in the blue states. Well, we had one down here. Did you see that Jackie Espinosa or whatever her name is? I certainly did. They’re everywhere. Yeah, they arrested her driving her Porsche. Isn’t that fun? Yes, he was driving a Porsche. He got arrested for grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. That’s right. That’s a big city down here, by the way. That’s not a little crappy city. That’s a pretty big city. Oh my gosh. I mean, this is a really big deal.

There is fraud everywhere. And I know a lot of us always say, hey, why are we even paying taxes with something like that going on? I mean, it could pay for a whole bunch of things that we wouldn’t have to pay for because it’s coming out of our pockets. And it’s also enabling other people that shouldn’t even be on the program just to slide on by. The money sometimes isn’t even spent in our country. There’s all kinds of things that are going on here. The attorney general, he put a number on it, and so it’s one, he said $42 million in food stamp fraud was enough to feed 220,000 Americans for an entire month. Think about that. That’s the problem. They just take it.

I mean, that’s not an abstraction. They take it from people who need it. That is a month of groceries for a city. So, I mean, and they’re right. The Agriculture Secretary said the part that no one has really, that I’ve heard say it this way. And that is that every single instance of this has two victims. The family that actually needed the help and the taxpayer who paid for it. And that is true. It is true to form. But there are so many examples of fraud. The good news is we’re able to actually talk about them because we’re getting to the bottom of it because of the Trump administration. Before, you didn’t hear a word about it. Nothing. That Nick Shirley really did open up a can of worms.

Oh, he did a fantastic job. He was the one that got rid of Tampon Timmy. He’s the one that started all this crap. Yes, and he got rid of Tampon Tim because he was like, hey, I’m not going to run again to avoid prosecution. And even the president said something about that. He’s like, you know, it’s really a shame. The guy decides he’s not going to run. He thinks that that is going to be his get out of jail card free. you know and and that’s really what he thinks i mean he was right after it was discovered boom he’s gone But there’s a ton of cases. And here’s one, the biggest single one is actually out of Southern Ohio. There are two defendants, $29.7 million in intended loss. This is one case.

There is a crop insurance case in the middle of Florida, 3.2 million, and that one is an already guilty plea. There is an infant formula trafficking ring out of Oregon. $4.4 million. 17 people were indicted. 12 were already sentenced. Wait a minute. What did you just say? What? A baby food? An infant formula trafficking. Yes. Oh, my God. I mean, they will take the shoes off of your feet and sell them. Guy in a trench coat, hey man, you got any of them peaches? I’m not kidding. This is how it’s going. And you know what? I guess maybe I’m used to it living in L.A. I mean, when you hear that they will literally steal the shoes off your feet, they will.

I told you my example when I went to visit my friends in Florida. I would not dare leave my sandals that I loved on the beach. And they looked at me like I was crazy. They were like, you can leave your shoes there. And I’m like, no, no, no. I’ll feel better if I carry them. They’re like, no, no, no. It’s Florida. You can leave your shoes there. I’ve never had my flip flops stolen. I’m 62 years old. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. You can’t do that. On the beach here. Yeah. Because when you go down these little wood walkways and you reach the sand, when you’re kind of in the dunes and you look down, it would be 100, 200 pair of flip flops. Oh, my gosh.

And like I said, and you’ll know the locals because you turn them upside down. Because if not, that heat will put your foot in your back. You have blisters on the bottom of your feet. Oh, gosh. Well, I mean, I wouldn’t dare do it because of what I’m used to. If I were to leave anything outside, it is considered, you know, whoever wants it come gets it. But you wouldn’t even do it in Florida? Well, because I’m conditioned. This is what I’m saying. Being from Southern California is just not something that you would do. And so it had been a long time since I had been to visit any of my friends in Florida. I had been living in California.

And it’s just one of those things that’s ingrained in your head. If you put it down, it is no longer yours. It is somebody else’s and they’re going to grab it. So I was hesitant when I was… I was like, I don’t know. You guys are just going to leave your shoes here? And they’re like, yeah, just drop them. No biggie. But I’m so conditioned from where I live that if you take off your shoes, I mean, that’s going to be the last time you see them. That’s the difference. But I did take off my shoes. I said, okay, I’ll take them. I’ll go ahead and take your advice. Go with the tribe that I’m with. You can’t even put your shoes. Leave them in your shoes. I know. Those are really…

Those are, I still have them. I love those sandals. And it’s very hard for me. But anyway, so I left them. And then we went on our walk and we came back and they’re like, see, shoes are still there. I’m like, guaranteed. It wouldn’t be there if we were in SoCal. I’m so 100% positive. But anyway, that’s just kind of how it goes. And but yeah, I mean, they’ll sell everything. When we talk about infant formula or anything else, well, they’ve been trafficking that out of Oregon. I mean, that’s a $4.4 million case. There were 17 people indicted, 12 already sentenced.

And then there is a case in Eastern Pennsylvania because, and I’m going to have to be careful with this one, because the charging documents describe exploitation of intellectually disabled women. So that one is charged. It hasn’t been proven yet. And so I’m not going to put more on it than what the documents do. But the one that will stay with you is Atlanta. The federal grand jury, and it was Northern District of Georgia, they indicted on the 7th of this month. The defendant is named Mercedes New, who performs as Shadi Dredd, a rapper, an influencer. So here’s what the investigators say that they found.

Phone numbers that were tied to the defendant called into the food stamp benefit system and the automated phone line more than 9,000 times. you 9,000 times. Those calls, they reached more than 350 different people’s SNAP accounts, and more than 500 Georgia EBT cards are linked to the same scheme. The loss that they put on it is $4.4 million, and about $635,000 that ran straight through the store in Atlanta that the defendant owned, a store that was authorized to accept food stamps. So the benefits came out of 350 family accounts and then got spent at a store owned by the person accused of taking them. Yes, this is a social media influencer, Shati Dredd, our rapper and influencer.

So they have not been convicted yet, charged only. Nobody in the Atlanta case has been convicted of anything. So I want to make sure that that’s clear. But the thing about the tip line is that this fraud, a fraud this size, it’s never invisible. I mean, somebody always knows. Somebody rings up the register. Somebody actually files the paperwork. Somebody watches 500 EBT cards. come through one little store in Atlanta and says nothing for years about it, because saying something has never once been worth anything to them. So what changed, basically, is not that the fraud started. What has changed is that it finally pays to say so. So you say something and you’re going to get paid for it.

You say that something is going on. You see it. You witness it. All of a sudden you’re like, okay, I know that there’s fraud going on in here. They arrest you if you do whistleblow. That’s true. They have the Nick Shirley Act. right? They actually passed that. I saw that one dude while I’m thinking about it. I can’t remember that billionaire. He just bought a $120 million house in Miami and moved from California because he says the billionaire tax is going to pass. Oh yeah, it’s going to. They’re doing everything they can to pass it. Everything. You can see it. If you watch YouTube and if you watch videos and things, you see them. I mean, you see the ads for it. It’s everywhere. Yeah. Yep.

There’s not a lot of bazillionaires, but there are a lot of people that are going to vote against them. And so they know they see the writing on the wall and they’re like, OK, we’re going to hightail it, even though a lot of these billionaires employ a lot of these people. Nobody is going to win in this case. I’m just telling you they’re just not because those companies, those people are going to pack up and leave. Just like they have been. Yeah, just like they have been. Like I say, if you want to take, what do they want to get? They just want to take 10% of their wealth? Oh, yeah, they want to take at least 10%. But you know what? When you start that.

So if you’re worth $10 billion, you can either stay there and give them a billion dollars or you can just move. Right. And you’re like, well, I’ll just move, man. I’ll give you a billion more dollars after the billions I already pay in taxes. And they pay in taxes, too. They definitely do. And they employ a whole lot of people. But yeah. You’re seeing it. It’s very obvious the shift that is going on here in California. But this is crazy. I mean, we also have another scammer. This is a marriage fraud ring that was charged with selling 20 sham weddings a year for a decade. Okay, not kidding. She is charged with selling the marriages, $40,000 each, 20 a year for over a decade.

It’s 6 million buckaroos. So somebody in Massachusetts, they’ve been running this wedding business for more than 10 years, 20 weddings a year, about $40,000 a pop, $6 million. And the federal prosecutors say that not one of the marriages were real. So here’s what the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts announced today. That six people were charged, five of them from Fall River, one from Attleboro. Five were arrested this morning. The woman, they say, who ran it was Jennifer Gonzalez. She is a United States citizen.

And the allegation is that for more than a decade, she was selling these American marriages to people who needed an immigration status at $38,000 to $40,000 a piece at a rate of $18,000 to $20,000 a year. Were they just fake people, a fake husband or something? No, she was just, I guess, putting people together. I mean, yeah. That’s what I was asking. It’s not love. Totally fake? Yeah. I mean, she was just putting people together and getting these whole things together. I mean, this is $6 million in proceeds. Yeah. This is where it actually stops being a paperwork story because prosecutors are saying that the money did not stay here.

They say that it went into business interest and property in the Dominican Republic. And she is quoted as describing the Dominican Republic as her, this is her own words, my country. So, well, her name is Gonzales. You know, but she’s an American citizen. Who knows? But she’s about to be an American in jail citizen. Yeah, I mean, she is accused of selling access to American citizenship, and the proceeds, prosecutors say, were invested somewhere else, in the place that she called my country. But that’s not even the part that got me, actually. While all of this was allegedly going on, you have the prosecutors who say that she was collecting food stamps, about $124.

$1,500 in Massachusetts SNAP benefits. Now, this was between 2019 and 2026 while hiding the income. $6 million in alleged wedding money and $124,000 of your grocery money on top of it. And it gets better, if better is the word, right? The charging documents describe the other defendants telling the state of Massachusetts on a food stamp application that they had never been married at the same time they were filing federal immigration petitions for the spouses they had supposedly just married. So two federal and state agencies, two opposite answers, the same people, the same years, and then one more thing, and this is basically changes all of it.

Prosecutors say, that she stopped doing the weddings at the end of 2024. And the documents actually themselves put a reason on it. She stopped when President Trump was becoming president. That’s when she stopped. So 10 years, where was she having the wins? That I have no idea. Vegas. I mean, you know, she was just getting it done. You go to the judge justice of the peace. I mean, you can get all that stuff, but this is 10 years, 10 year scam, $6 million, 20 weddings a year. And the thing that ended it was not a raid. It wasn’t an audit. It was an election. The judge should have known. The judge of the peace in that town should have known after a while. I mean, come on.

Do you, Bob Smith, take Akai, Sloppy, and my Blue Blue for your lawful? I mean, this is crazy. It really is. And the prosecutors, they put it best in their own statement. And they basically put it together in one sentence. They said, the American dream is not for sale. So she ran it for 10 years. She quit the week. She’s making a fortune, man. Changed its mind. I mean, and it’s all because President Trump was coming into office. Isn’t that wild? She should have lived in Vegas, not Massachusetts. Something. They would probably be a lot more… Yeah, critical in Vegas. I mean, people do this all the time. Oh, yeah. It’s anything for a scam.

Remember, for a long time, you’d go to Ukraine and get a rental bribe. Remember when that was popular? Yes, it was. Just go over there. I didn’t know this guy, but it was a friend of a friend of mine that did that. And boy, that was a nightmare. They hate each other. Oh, that is. I had somebody. Well, it’s somebody that I knew through other people. I just knew the person’s name. I didn’t really know her. But apparently that’s what her husband. He was just a real jerk. Apparently he was very wealthy. But he used to threaten her with getting a Russian bride. And he would do that in front of people. One of my friends told me about it. And I’m like, oh. What a horrible human being. Truly.

Yeah, this was a long time ago, probably in the early 90s or mid-90s. But this guy, I didn’t know this guy until I was a friend of a friend. But he was just kind of at a party one time, and she was there. And he had a big million-dollar boat and was rich. And he told us, yeah, you just go over there and… They set you up, they fly you over there, you pay this amount of money, and then you just go into a room and they just kind of come around and start mingling and you just pick one. Oh, my gosh. And they’ll just come back with you for a price. It is just so weird. Wild, isn’t it? I know. I mean, it was funny when he was telling the story because I was like, holy crap, dude.

And she was beautiful, too. I mean, I ain’t going to lie. I just heard like two years later, man. I asked somebody about it, too, like two years later. It came up. Oh, man, they’re already divorced and they hate each other. Sure. Oh, my gosh. You mean knowing somebody for five minutes? Yeah. You think it wouldn’t work? And you just… So you married a dork for money, and you married just a good-looking girl because you’re a dork, and it didn’t work after five minutes? It didn’t. No. No. But I think that is just, I mean, I think it’s so awful that somebody would ever threaten their real spouse and say, well, I’m just going to get a Russian bride and would do it in front of people.

I wouldn’t have to deal with you. I will just go and order one up. Just like it was a common occurrence. Good luck with that. Made $6 million doing it. Wow. I mean, this person really got away with it. But they had different answers. So there must have been some people that really just didn’t even know that this was going on even. I mean, she was just putting them together and getting one person to pay for it. Maybe the other person didn’t always know what was going on at the time. Oh, here’s the Penguin Overlord says there was another case, Pakistan arrest man wanted by U.S. over 126 million postage fraud case. I mean, you could talk about the fraud all day long.

Thank you, the underscore penguin underscore overlord. Yeah. You just never know what they’re going to come up with. There’s all kinds of scams. But there’s a lot of scams, especially in the polling, as you all know. And apparently we’ve got the FCC that’s finally saying, all right, enough of this nonsense. These polls. They’re just crazy. As you all know. I saw David Jolly today posting a poll. They said, look, we’re over them one point. McDonald’s. For governor, man, this poll just came out. I said, and I tweeted over it, that’s the same poll that said Fishback was going to win the primary. He didn’t get 10% of the vote. Same polling company.

They’re just making this shit up, man, I’m telling you. Well, they actually came out with that, and it is the truth. The FCC chairman, he warned broadcasters about the fake polls today, and Nate Silver just admitted that he put a fake one in his own averages. So two things happened today that you need to know about. It happened in this order. Well, the first one was the chairman. of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, he put out a formal warning to broadcasters.

His words were, there has been a, quote, a significant surge in entirely fake polls and suppression polls designed to do nothing more than interfere with the regular functioning of the electoral process and alter the normal patterns of voter turnout. And then he went after the people carrying them. He said that the journalists have been, quote, amplifying or airing these polls without regard to basic journalistic ethics. Then there was the second one. Nate Silver, you all know who Nate Silver is. He was roommates with, what was his name? McCarthy, you remember that guy, right? Who runs the polling average that half the political press quotes, like it’s scripture, right?

Banned a polling firm from his aggregation today. And he basically got out there and straight out admitted out loud that he had already used that firm’s numbers in his Georgia and Mississippi Senate averages. And he said, And the name of the firm is called Wedgwood Polls. And on Tuesday night, Wedgwood admitted that it made the numbers up. Not shaded them, not weighted them badly. How many long have I been saying that? They’re just making these up. They’re not calling anybody. Invented them out of the air. Well, it’s just like President Trump and Hillary Clinton. You remember that charade, right? I don’t think anybody’s trusted a poll since that election as a result.

So their own statement, they came out and said it, that they invented them. It was designed as a wake-up call to demonstrate their words, the vulnerabilities, the lack of oversight, and the overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry. And then they said the part that should make every newsroom in the country sit down because they said getting major outlets to bite was, quote, far too easy. Put them in their place. Because it is. I mean, here’s how easy it was. The New York Times, they ran 15 Wedgwood polls between June and October. 15 of them. The Times has now gone back and they stuck an editor’s note on the page.

And it reads, this page previously included surveys from Wedgwood polls. That’s it. That’s all they put down is the correction. That’s it. All of it. Well, Newsweek, they carried them. The Decision Desk HQ carried them. Mediate carried them. MS Now carried them. And they were not caught by any of those outlets. They were caught by a polling industry site that is called 50 plus one that got suspicious about the firm’s credentials and then went through the data. And a statistics professor at Columbia walked through the forensics on his own blog on Monday. Speaking of fraud, Omar finally came out and started begging for money. She looks like she’s crying.

Oh, she looks like she’s been crying for a week. She looked like she was. That got the goods on her, I’m thinking. Oh, I know. You know that. When you start raiding people and grabbing your phones and grabbing their family’s phones and computers and laptops. I think they probably got her dead to rights. Oh, think. I think they got the goods. I know they do. And now they’re even talking about the fact that she’s going to be jailed. Like, she could go to jail here and then be deported back. I mean, we’ll see. The justice system will do what it does best, and that’s, you know, put her through it. But people are already counting on it. They got her.

You don’t do that to a Congresswoman’s house unless you know exactly what you’re A, looking for, and then they’ve got the DNA, they’ve got all of that evidence. No telling what they’re writing on. And she’s supposed to be campaigning right now and she’s hiding. It tells you everything that you need to know. But they’ve been lying this whole time about how popular the Democrats are and the Socialists of America and, you know, Mamdani and all of that mess. I mean, he’s got it. It’s been proven that he has bought farms that are right there at his mansion in New York, just posting away. That’s why he’s getting all of those clicks and all of that exposure.

Nobody cares about a mayor in New York, really. not in California, we really don’t think about it. But all of a sudden, he gets all of this press and this limelight. That was purely by design. Fabricated. Yeah, it’s by design. They completely created that out of thin air. The whole thing was rigged. They had that stupid guy, Republican, who’s a fraud, who’s now in the trans parade and up there doing vaccines with Mondawney. Oh my gosh. I can’t tell everybody what a fraud that guy was. Well, everybody knew. And the thing is, what he’s doing right now is he’s out there pushing as hard as he can for Syed in Michigan, who isn’t doing that hot right now.

And they’re getting real nervous over that one. Because honestly, I mean, they are talking and they are ringing the alarms about, hey, there are a lot of Democrats that have crossed over for the first time that are voting Republican. And if the early voting has anything to say about it, You’re seeing it in other states, how people are really genuine psyched to vote in the midterms. And most of them are from the red column. You’re not seeing the same enthusiasm from the blue because what have they got? Who are they voting for? Who is it that they’re trying to get behind here? I like it when they say gas prices are high. Do you know what Biden did on the first day?

He stopped all domestic drilling, fracking. Yeah. I mean, if that’s really what they’re going to hang that number on, okay, so be it. Here you’ve got President Trump that’s going to open up a refinery and everything else in the United States. These things take time, but he is going at a record pace. And not only that, after the midterms, you know exactly what’s going to happen, and I do too. That Middle Eastern war is going to come to a screeching halt one way or another. It’s going to be it. And you’re going to see a complete change in the gas prices and everything else. President Trump even said it. He said after the midterms, you watch what happens.

He’s already able to get Russia and Ukraine to the table. That’s pretty incredible. But not only was he able to do that, he was able to free an American without a swap. He didn’t have to promise him anything. We didn’t have to swap out an American for the first time, and I can’t even say how long. He freed an American teacher who was 74 years old, freed from a Russian prison and flown home. And there wasn’t us, you know, we weren’t sitting there dealing with somebody that tried to, you know, some kind of criminal or somebody that tried to blow us up or something else. I mean, this is the work of this president. I mean, they’re coming home today. That is the thing. His name is Stephen Hubbard.

He’s 74. He’s a retired school teacher from Michigan. He was taken in occupied Ukraine in 2022. Russia convicted him on mercenary charges. The State Department formally designated him wrongfully detained, which is the United States government saying on paper that this man should never have been held at all. Four years. And then what happened today was nothing short than President Trump and his backing. So you have special invoice, Steve Witkoff. He was in St. Petersburg meeting with Putin. He was there to put an updated proposal on the table to end the war in Ukraine. And in that meeting, Putin announced that Hubbard was being released.

By the time it was announced, he had already been driven to the airport. And the Kremlin, they responded. Their own spokesperson said that Putin released him at President Trump’s request and in light of the man’s health. And the president said it himself publicly, said that Putin agreed to the release at his request. And then he added four words that everybody should pay attention to. No swap necessary. I mean, four years and this… Franny basketball player. Oh, my gosh. I mean, look at the butcher. All kinds of people. We were like, okay, you’re free to go. Yes. I mean, hardened criminals. It was bad. And yeah, I mean, he gave in to these countries and gave them everything.

Well, this is the first time there was no swap necessary at all. Nothing happened. So, I mean, for years you have an American that comes home and somebody goes back the other way. I mean, whether they’re like a convicted arms dealer, hit man, you know, somebody we had locked up for a reason. And. That was actually the price of it every time. And we paid for it. And we pretended that it was a win, right? People would pretend, oh, yay, we just sent back the biggest arms dealer ever back to their home country so they can go back doing whatever it was that they were doing. They would act like that was a win. Well, it wasn’t.

But today, you’ve got a 74-year-old man who got on a plane and went the other direction with just a phone call from a president who asked. But the other thing is the president also said something else, and he said, because it’s in his claim, and it’s a political one, he said that Hubbard would not have been freed if the White House had not have stopped a new round of Russia sanctions from taking effect last week. And that is the president’s characterization. He’s trying to negotiate a deal and end that war over there. It’s all he’s doing, and everybody’s like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re beating about it. Isn’t that the crazy thing? What do you want to do?

Just keep Bob and his plinth of money going over there? Millions more people dying and it never, ever, ever ends? He’s the only one trying for peace, man, and they’re all over him. But the sanctions. Remember, you had the lamestream media that was all upset, up in arms about the sanctions. Oh, he cannot do that. Oh, he cannot. He’s playing with sanctions, all of that. Well, that is really what worked. That’s why this worked. I mean, we have somebody that really knows how to play this game better than anybody. And he’s getting things that he needs to get. And he’s getting Americans back on U.S. soil. Unreal. I mean, we just don’t know how fortunate we truly are.

We really I will treasure this time with President Trump forever. I’ll never forget it. We’re not going to have this next time around. We need to enjoy it and appreciate it because it’s not going to be nearly as exciting or creative. It’ll be boring politics. Guy, you got it. So there’s nothing boring about water. I don’t take a lot of things at face value anymore. And I’ll be honest, tap water was one of the last things on my radar until I actually looked into it. And that’s why I now purify my water with Cove Pure. So over 176 million Americans, they are drinking tap water with PFAS in it. They are man-made chemicals used in food packaging, nonstick cookware, firefighting foam.

Scientists call them forever chemicals because once they are in your body, they stay there. They don’t break down. And they’re linked to hormone disruption, immune damage, and increased cancer risk. But here’s the part that stopped me cold in my tracks. Well, the EPA, they did set legal limits for PFAS. That was for the drinking water, and it was back in 2024. But water systems have until 2031 to comply, but That is five legal limits right now. I mean, this is five years. We’re talking about legal limits that are off the chart. So you would have to wait five years. So until that deadline arrives, a utility can be operating above the legal limit right now, and it’s not required to notify you.

You’re just drinking it. The EPO knows that these chemicals are harmful enough to regulate. They’re just not making anyone act on it yet, which means… It’s on you to take matters into your own hands. So Cove Pure, it was engineered exactly for this. Unlike the normal pitcher filters that you get at the store, their ClearWave reverse osmosis technology is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants.

So my, my, my. What else is happening besides all the fraud all over the country? Well, that’s why we named the show The Whistleblower Money, because it pretty much sums it up.

Because people are going to be paid for this, you are going to see an enormous amount of fraud that we probably would not have been able to find, and you’re seeing it now, which is fantastic. But this kind of was, I mean, this is kind of a negative one because, you know, the Supreme Court, they left the taxpayer-funded inmate hormone treatment in place, which is infuriating. There were only two that dissented, and you could imagine who the two were. But yeah, I mean, here you’ve got a number that, you know. 600. These are federal inmates who were on taxpayer-funded hormone treatment. The Supreme Court just left it that way, and only two justices said why they disagreed.

So 600, and it’s not ours. It’s the Bureau of Prisons. It’s out of their own court filing. About 6,000 inmates in federal custody identify as transgender. About 600 of them were receiving hormone therapy as of last year. And you all are paying for it. So this administration, they tried to stop it. The Bureau of Prisons, they wrote a new policy this year restricting hormone treatment, restricting surgeries, and restricting what the policy calls social accommodations for transgender inmates in federal prison. A federal district judge in Washington, by the name of Royce Lamberth, he’s the one that blocked it. There were three inmates that brought the case.

So in August, it was widened into a nationwide case so that the block now covers the whole federal system. And the judge’s reasoning in part was that the administration had not shown that providing those treatments had caused security problems before. So the administration basically went to the Supreme Court. They asked for an emergency order letting the policy take effect while the case is fought out. And today the Supreme Court said no. Or in mercy. Isn’t that something? I mean, it’s really OK. We’re just going to continue to pay for this. The trance situation. All righty then. Thank you. Such is insanity. But it is. It really is. And you have one federal judge that does all of this.

But that’s all it takes. I mean, so the government, they asked the highest court in the country whether it has to keep paying for it. And the answer came back as a simple page with no. And there was no reasoning on it. But the thing about this ruling, where it actually stands, because there’ll be people that don’t understand what it means, the court didn’t actually rule that any of this is a constitutional right. They did not rule that. The court did not decide the case either. This was an emergency application about what happens while the lawsuit actually runs. And the court declined to disturb what the lower court had already done. So that’s all it is. But the practical effort is the thing.

And that’s what makes it actually simple. The Bureau of Prisons, they keep doing it, and we keep funding it until a case that has already taken most of a year takes however much longer that it takes. They’re going to continue to take the money. They’re going to continue to do what they need to do. I mean, until actually you have a ruling. Yeah. So the Trump administration, they did everything they could to say, hey, put an end to this stuff. And they said no. I mean, and that’s basically the whole thread of the hour. It’s showing up again in a different costume. You have 40 people that were charged this morning over food stamp money.

You had a woman in Fall River that was accused of taking $124,000 in benefit that she was not entitled to. And then this, I mean, where nobody is accused of doing anything at all, but the money goes out the door anyway, lawfully, by court order. while you have two justices object and seven that say nothing. 600 people. One page, no explanation given. I mean, that just doesn’t sit right with me at all. Not at all. I know. But again, we wouldn’t be able to talk about any of this if President Trump wasn’t trying to do what he needs to do. To get this stuff done. I mean, it’s really remarkable what he has been able to accomplish. With everybody against him, too.

The Republicans and the Democrats constantly. And the press. Everybody. All the time. That’s all they’re doing now. They’re trying to full court press to get Elon and Trump somehow. And just a bunch of bullshit. Oh, yeah. Because they’re very powerful. And they’re really giving people hope. Elon says, I’m taking notes, buddies. Live by the sword, die by the sword. It’s a good thing. It’s a really good thing. I mean, they are trying to save humanity, truly. That is the goal. And you can see it and really improve our way of life.

I’m tired of being having all this fraud being charged the way we’re charged here in Southern California, never seeing it amount to anything bullet trains, homeless encampments, the whole deal. not being able to put people in office that we’re voting for, try to vote our way out of it. And this is the issue. And then you have, of course, the illegals, right? So Homeland Security, they arrested five people today for taking food stamps that they were not eligible for. And they said it was just the first wave, right? So same warning, different agency, different operation.

So while the Justice Department was putting out that $42 million number and the Department of Homeland Security put out its own release, the title tells you everything they want you to know, illegal aliens were caught stealing SNAP benefits, defrauding the American taxpayer. And this is just the first wave of a large-scale anti-fraud crackdown. That was their words that they used, first wave. And they named five people. You have Elizabeth Povey Rodriguez, who is from Cuba. And DHS, they said that she has a conviction for disorderly conduct and prior arrest for battery and domestic violence. Rube Stoney Jr. Theodore, he’s from Haiti.

He has prior arrest for larceny, obstruction of officers for trespassing. And then there’s three others from Haiti. There’s Wilbert Jean Baptiste and Louis Jean Jensey Charles. So yeah, of those five, we have one that has a conviction that is listed, and that’s Povea Rodriguez, and that’s for disorderly conduct. Everything else in that list is an arrest. So just a reminder, an arrest is not a conviction. We’re not going to read their arrest record and call it a rap sheet either. But the thing is, what they were actually accused of today is taking food stamp benefits that they had no right to. And that’s enough. I mean, that’s the whole case. It doesn’t even need to be dressed up at all.

So Mark Wayne Mullet, he put it in one sentence. He put this out today, and it was a good one. Illegal aliens have no right to be here in the first place. They are the last people who should be using SNAP benefits. This is a quote from him. So, yeah, I mean, SNAP is not… an unlimited pot just where you can just go in there and draw it. There’s generations of people in this country who’ve lived on welfare and food stamps and I mean for generations. Well, a lot of people that don’t and shouldn’t be on there. I’m not saying that people shouldn’t have SNAP benefits if they’re needed and if they’re American citizens. But this is anybody and everybody, right, that is coming into this country.

They thought that this was just something that they could just sign up for, whether they were legal or not. I mean, it’s a line in the budget, and every dollar in it was taken out of somebody’s paycheck. Your paycheck, my paycheck, the litter mate’s paycheck. So when the attorney general said $42 million is a month of groceries for 220,000 Americans, he was describing the same pot of money. I mean, so think about it. There’s a grandmother somewhere in this country who got told the numbers that she qualifies for is a little lower than she hoped. And nobody is going to talk about her. Nobody’s going to put a press release out on her. Nobody’s going to name her.

The people who need it don’t get it. That’s right. The people who scam them, they get all of it. That’s exactly the point. I mean, she gets less. And that is who the first wave is actually for. So I’m just wondering if it’s a promise when they call it a first wave, if it’s a promise or a warning. What sucks is it’s not like these old-time Americans even getting the money. It’s these new communities and Haitians and Somalis that come over here. They do nothing to help our country, and they’re stealing us blind. Right. With all these programs, and the Democrats are letting them because they’ll vote for them. That’s it. It’s a nod nod. It’s just repulsive.

It’s so sickening because when you really put it in context with the people that need the help and how they’re getting less, and you’ll never, again, you’ll never hear their names. They’ll never talk about them. They’re the real victims of all of this. Just disgusting. It really is. But I mean, hey, you know, I mean, this has been a wild day just so far. We’re in midterms, but here was a funny one. I thought you’d enjoy this one. You’ve got two candidates with the same name on the same Alaska ballot. And they’re both named Dan Sullivan. And the state Supreme Court said that both names stay. So imagine yourself, you’re all prepared to vote.

And you’re like, okay, all I have to do is remember this person’s name. And I’ve got a little list here that I’m going to take with me. But these people have the same name. So you walk into a voting booth in Alaska in 13 days. You look down at the United States Senate race. And there are two men on that ballot named Dan Sullivan. I mean, it. It is real. I promise you it’s real. One of them is named Dan S. Sullivan. He is the sitting United States Senator from Alaska. He’s a Republican. He has had that seat since 2015. The other one is Dan J. Sullivan, and he is a retired teacher and a former Forest Service worker out of Petersburg. He decided to run for the same seat.

Same first name, same last name, same ballot, different middle initial. And then there is another Democrat that is in the race too. Her name is Mary Peltola. And that is the part that is actually making people a little nervous. Because here you’ve got now three and you could have the third one that’s a spoiler. So the state actually tried to stop this. The director of the Division of Elections disqualified the challenger back in June and kept him off the primary ballot. But a superior court judge overturned that and then the Alaska Supreme Court affirmed it. So both Dan Sullivan stay on. So that’s settled. Alaska is voting on this in 13 days with the same name printed twice.

And on the senator’s side, the Republican Party in Alaska, they have said out loud that they think the challenger was recruited to run by Democrats, specifically to split the Republican vote and help Peltola. So that’s their allegation. They’re honestly saying that this is what they think happened. And that’s what I’m labeling in an allegation because that’s what it is. But the Alaska Democrat Party, they said they had nothing to do with it. They said Peltola campaign said the same thing. And they are reporting on the challenger’s fundraising so far. And they say it doesn’t show major partisan money behind him. Usually were they…

Of course, in California, as you see the story, thousands of California voters get duplicate vote-by-mail ballots. Welcome to my world. Yep. Yeah, and Los Angeles Times, hear what happens. We know what happens. We don’t have to read your article. It’s just y’all cheating again. Well, this is how we started the whole hour. That’s what we started on, is the fact that I can’t vote my way out of this mess. That’s how bad it is. They have 20,000 people that they already know, basically. They said, let’s set these aside. We’re not going to burn them. We’re not going to destroy them. But let’s set them aside while we confirm that they are actually able to vote. And California… refused to do it.

They said, No, we’re not going to at 20,000. Now, that’s just of what we know of. You’ve got Harmeet Dhillon, who’s doing a fantastic job trying to rein all of this stuff in. You’ve got a lot of other people. people that are working as hard as they can. Thank goodness Harmeet is from here, honestly, because she knows what happens in our elections. She’s very aware. And so the fact that she’s in the position she’s in, I’m hoping that something will happen. But this is going to be a hard state to fix because of that. You remember the last time around, you had how you were going to vote that you could see through the envelope.

How bad does it got to get before these people in California wake up and say, man, this is sucking. Our gas is double. Our bills are double. Everything sucks here. They have. And they’ve left. And that’s a big chunk of the voting block that left us, too. We’re hurt. We are hurt in a lot of different ways. Not only do you have the cheating, not only do you have that going on, the fact that they can continue to cheat for as long as they want to, but a lot of people, that center, those people, the middle class have said, we’re going to pick up and move. We’re going to go somewhere else. Those used to be our voters. And now, whether they’re here or not.

If they do that billionaire tax, that’s the final nail in the coffin right there. Oh, it’s really, it’s going to come down to just what they want. Because there won’t be any more big businesses. And then the small mom and pops can’t afford to do any business in California. They’re regulated out. That’s the whole, that’s the sad part about all of this is that we’re losing just incredible businesses. Like earlier, we were talking about just some of the different Cantor’s Deli, for example, and how they have nickel and dimed and brushed up, put up these charges to where the electricity is so high. I mean, $36,000 a month now went from 26 to 36. Nothing has changed except for the surcharges. is.

You’ve got, meanwhile, the homeless that are getting massages, right? I mean, they’ve got money for all the food and the, you know, all these different programs and different things. That money evaporates. It disappears. You’ve got Malibu that’s on fire. You’ve got other areas of California that cannot rebuild because of all of the red tape. They are turning it into exactly what they want it to be. It’s a socialist utopia. They’re just going to be really rich people and really poor people. That’s what you have right now. Nobody can afford to buy a house here. Are you kidding? No. I know. You cannot possibly. I would never build on a house up there. I mean, this is the thing.

So we’ve lost a lot, a lot. And we’re going to continue, unfortunately, to lose until we can get a whole different way. That turned ranch to be $2 million up there. Oh, easily. more than that i mean when i was i teased you a little while ago when you were talking about doing something and then i was like you know you were saying well you know this would get you this and i’m like it would get me a parking space literally a parking space that amount of money that we were discussing would get me a parking space You told me you ran on your apartment and I about passed out. Yeah, it’s very, very expensive, but it’s secure. I mean, what is the cost on your freedom and your security?

You can’t put one on there, especially if you live alone. So what are you going to do? I don’t think you can buy a gun there, can you? No. Does it mean people don’t have them? I would never ever not. I mean, I just don’t understand how people can sleep at night without having a gun in the house. And feel safe. What are you going to do if somebody breaks in? You’re done. I know. I got one in every corner and two by my bed. That’s the thing. I got an AR in every room. Gosh. Well, I mean. 10s and 15s. And we still have shootings here. Imagine that. Not supposed to, right? It’s supposed to give you this. Well, all criminals have guns. This false sense of security. Criminals don’t.

They don’t do their background checks. Well, let’s face it. Nobody, if you’re in or around Compton, if you have a flat tire, you get real nervous real quick because there’s not a lot of even police officers that are going to go out there. So if you think about it, and I know this kind of sounded like a Debbie Downer show, but it shouldn’t be because we’re getting to the bottom of it. Well, they’re getting arrested. That’s right. This is actually a good show. This is a positive show. So when you think about what actually happened today, you had a tip line that has been open for a few weeks, and it’s produced more than 40 names. You have a U.S.

attorney in Massachusetts who put a decade of sham weddings. into a charging document with a dollar figure on every single line. You have a polling company that got its numbers into the New York slimes 15 times, and they had to rewrite its own name on a confession. You had two justices who put their names on a dissent and let the rest of us wonder why the other seven didn’t explain themselves. And a 74-year-old retired school teacher from Michigan who has been sitting in a Russian prison since 2022 is now on a plane right now because the President of the United States asked for him by name. This is not a bad show. It’s not a bad show at all. So here’s the thing.

I mean, if you look at all of the different things that happened, I mean, watch what happens tomorrow. It’s going to be a whole nother set. But this is what President Trump is doing at lightning speed. And. It wouldn’t be happening under Kamala Harris. She’s somewhere laying down with a bottle of vodka right now. Oh, gosh, who knows? Well, that’s it for us today. Is there anything else you’d like to add there, Catturd? Nope. We good? All right. Keep it resting, them idiots. That’s it. Keep up the pressure. That’s all we need. And if you know something, if you see something, say something. You may get paid for it. All right, well, that’s it for us today.

We’ll see you tomorrow here at 3 o’clock p.m. Eastern Time. In the meantime, you all be safe, be kind to one another, and we will see you later. Bye. Thank you.
