From Narco Boats To Redistricting: It’s Not The Civics Class You Remember
Terrorism abroad, chaos at home, and a Caribbean chessboard most media won’t map—this episode threads them together and asks a blunt question: what does meaningful deterrence look like when our rivals profit from our disorder? We open with Australia’s attack and widen the lens to a triad of tactics—drugs, criminal pipelines, and propaganda—flowing through Venezuela with cover from Russia and China. If addiction footage props up autocrats, then narco-boats aren’t just crime; they’re strategy. That’s why we dig into interdictions at sea, the argument for taking off the kid gloves, and the danger of letting Congress micromanage commanders while ducking its own basic work on healthcare and immigration.
The middle chapter turns to maps and muscle. Rand Paul warns that aggressive redistricting could spark violence; we look at decades of blue-state gerrymanders that erased GOP seats without riots and ask why Republicans should keep playing defense against a playbook that’s already cost them representation. We unpack packing and cracking, the limits of federal courts on partisan maps, and the reality that hardball—lawful, strategic, and unapologetic—wins terrain where hand-wringing loses it.
We close with kitchen-table economics that aren’t just about groceries. Newt Gingrich’s Reagan–Trump parallels set the stage for a shift: wages edging past inflation, energy markets stabilizing, and the pressing need to tackle healthcare, housing, and insurance costs that drain families long after checkout. Add a clear stance on immigration—welcoming legal pathways while shutting down illegal flows that depress wages—and the narrative sharpens into a plan: restore deterrence, restore supply-side momentum, and restore clarity on what actually moves paychecks and prices.

It's time! From Newport Beach, California, the sun is shining, the beaches are packed, and the waves are rolling in. Oh, while the Last Gay Conservative prepares to share more truth with America! He's America's binary brother, the holiest homo, and the gayest conservative of all time, working to restore common sense conservative politics in the American household. Welcome to the Last Gay Conservative Podcast. Here's your host, Chad Lov.
SPEAKER_02:Welcome to another episode of the Last Gay Conservative Podcast. I'm your host, Chad Law, America's binary brother, the holiest homo and the gayest conservative of all time, here to send truth through the airwaves on the only rainbow that matters: the red, white, and blue rainbow. Well, hello, America. We want to hear from you. Don't forget to call or text us at 866 LastGay. Again, that's 866 LastGay. When you call, you'll be prompted to leave a voicemail or you can send a text. And if you can't remember our phone number, wherever you're listening or watching now, in the description of the show, there's a link that says text the show. Click it, send me anything you want. I love reading your messages, folks. So please keep them coming as positive or as negative as you'd like them to be. First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by the horrific acts of terrorism in Australia over the weekend. It's devastating and shocking that a nation like Australia, which was essentially the last country with USA-style freedoms, has sunk so low for something like this to happen. Sadly, Australia, a country which was once a nation of rebel rousers, filled with civil disobedience and American-style freedom, has fallen into the European woke trap, disarmed its citizens, and allowed fear of racism and an incessant need for political correctness to create the perfect conditions for terrorism to happen. Sadly, this is the new norm, folks. And until Western nations acknowledge and accept that radical Islam is not compatible with Western parliamentary democracies and free markets, it will continue. Again, until these Western countries wake up, tighten their immigration systems to focus on the nation of destination of the immigrant over the nation of origin, the shootings, the fraud, the theft, the sending money back to terrorist states, and most importantly, the using of free speech in our free systems to spread hate, fear, and oppression against any differing views will never stop. We have a lot to cover today. And for the gaily news, we want to dive right into the Democrats' new Epstein files, Venezuelan drug boats. It's taken the DNC media by storm and unsurprisingly now inspired Congress, including many Republicans, to micromanage the Department of War. Funny how quick they can pass sweeping reforms and laws around things they know nothing about, but when it comes to everyday Americans, they can't get anything done. This must be why the congressional approval rating is sitting around 20% right now. But I want to talk about what Venezuela, Russia, and China are doing in the Caribbean in these Cold War-style tactics to spread discontent. There's nothing new. Getting us hooked on drugs, sending criminals into our streets to wreak havoc, and spreading misinformation are all acts of war, and we are well within our right to retaliate. Now, I want to dive deep into congressional war powers and how dangerous this micromanagement of our war department can be, as well as the ridiculousness of our Republicans folding so fast under media pressure for popularity instead of defending Secretary Heggseth in our military leadership that has done so great by us for so long. Bottom line is Congress thinks it knows better than its own military leadership when it pertains to war. However, they can't find their way out of a paper bag when it pertains to getting millions of Americans' healthcare, their actual job. On top of that, the redistricting conversation continues as obstructionist Rand Paul. By the way, folks, uh, are people in Kentucky really unlucky or really stupid? I mean, how does one state get stuck with vaginal dryness McConnell? Ron, I wish I was Rand, I wish I was my daddy Paul, and Sassy Massey as representative leaders. Either way, Rand Paul believes redistricting will cause political violence. I want to dive into his argument and how ridiculous it is, as well as talk about the importance of redistricting and why those who don't will regret it deeply. And I don't mean MAGA primaries. I mean like in Massachusetts and now California, where Democrats have completely eliminated Republican representation. And if you're in Indiana and think that won't happen to you, you've got another thing coming. Lastly, the greatest House speaker of all time, Newt Gingrich, talks about the Trump economy when we can all expect to feel some much needed relief from some of the policies already enacted by Trump and Scott Bissent. This is what I don't understand, folks. We have a great resource in Newt and people like Newt, who went through the Reagan boom and can tell us exactly how the turnaround happened and the parallels with Trump's economy. But instead, people listen and tune in to brain rock Gatarlson and wife beater Steve Crowder. And we've got to get back to understanding American history and leaning on the great living resources we have, like Newt Gingrich and Ed Meese and John Mersheimer. I mean, as Americans, have we stopped putting our trust in true experts and sucking from the sud pump of sensationalism, folks? Well, I have not. And I am so excited to break down the speaker's analysis of why it makes so much sense in parallel when Reagan took over after Carter single-handedly destroyed our country in the 1970s. All that, today's monologue, and the left's biggest lies of the week when we come back. I think most of you know I like to wear a suit every day. However, it can get overwhelming with the dry cleaning costs and overheating with all the extra layers that I have to wear in and out of meetings, especially living in Arizona where it gets really hot. Well, let me tell you, I have found the answer. Twillery.com. Twillery is a men's apparel company online that specializes in something called the Air Suit. The Twilery Air Suit looks like an Italian handmade, hand-tailored suit, but it's actually made out of a basketball jersey-like material, if you will, that's stretchable, breathable, and you can't tell the difference if you're wearing your suit or your Lulu's. Not to mention, it has all kinds of fun little tricks like elastic in the waistband to help tuck in your dress shirt. Everything's machine washable and dryable, so you don't have to worry about dry cleaning costs. And it looks great. Did I mention it's really not that expensive either? Do yourselves a favor, go to twillery.com, T W I L L O R Y dot com. Check out the air suit. They have it in your size, they have it in your favorite color. Get one today. You will look and feel your best, I promise. For today's monologue, it's time for Republicans to face an uncomfortable reality. The old rules of engagement in Washington are dead, and Democrats have been rewriting the playbook for years, much to their advantage and much to our dismay. While we've clung to tradition, hoping that civility, decorum, and bipartisanship would prevail, our opponents have moved the goalpost, bent the rules, and used every tool at their disposal to push their radical and wildly unpopular agenda. If we don't adapt, we risk being left behind and powerless to defend the values and principles that define our party and frankly, this nation. I want you to think back to 2013, when then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the so-called nuclear option, ending the filibuster for most presidential nominees. At the time, he justified it by saying, the American people believe the Senate is broken, and I believe the people are right. It's time to change the Senate before the institution becomes obsolete. Many could argue that it already has become obsolete, but at the time, Democrats paved the way for their own priorities by changing the rules when it suited them. Then, in 2021, there were renewed calls from Democrats to abolish the filibuster entirely, with President Biden himself calling it a relic of Jim Crow era. These are not idle threats or empty gestures. They're calculated moves to advance their vision, no matter the cost, to tradition, the Constitution, or the American people. Meanwhile, Republicans have often been hesitant to respond in kind, worrying about preserving the institution or maintaining moral high ground. But what has this restraint achieved? Nothing. Democrats passed sweeping legislation like Obamacare on party line votes, used executive orders to bypass Congress, and have not hesitated to use courts as weapons, suing states, blocking executive actions, and even attempting to pack the Supreme Court. Folks, we cannot sit idly by and expect fairness from those who do not play fair. Not just about the filibuster. Democrats have become masters of using the administrative state to advance their goals. President Obama famously said, I've got a pen and I've got a phone, signaling his willingness to use executive orders and agency rulemaking to enact policies when Congress wouldn't cooperate. I mean, from the EPA's aggressive regulations on energy to the Department of Education's guidance on everything from student loans to transgender policies in schools, Democrats have shown no hesitation in using bureaucracy to their advantage. But why aren't we doing the same? Why not use every tool available, John Thune, every executive order, every regulatory loophole to advance conservative principles, deregulate the economy, secure our borders, and protect individual liberties? Why? Because we're afraid of what's going to happen when the Democrats are back in power? Let's not forget the judiciary. Democrats have fought tooth and nail to keep conservatives off the judging bench while fast tracking their own nominees. When Republicans held the majority, we saw what could be achieved with the confirmation of Justices Gorchitz, Havanaugh, and Barrett. These victories were not the result of playing nice. They were the result of playing strategically, unapologetically, and for action for the American people. If we want to safeguard our achievements and build on them, we must continue to prioritize judicial appointments, even if it means ruffling feathers or breaking with tradition. As the late Supreme Court Justice Anson and Scalia once said, if you're going to be a good, faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, you're probably doing something wrong. As Republicans, we must appoint judges who understand their role and who are committed to upholding the Constitution as written, not as some living document to be molded to fit the latest political fads. The bottom line is this Republicans can no longer afford to be the party of half measures and polite opposition. If we truly believe our ideas work, if we believe in freedom, limited government, and the rule of law, and most importantly, a free market economy, then our leaders and we must be willing to fight just as hard and as smart and as relentlessly as our Democrat opponents. That means ending the filibuster when necessary, using every administrative and legal tool at our disposal and prioritizing the judiciary as a bulwark against liberal overreach. As President Reagan once said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. The time to defend it is now with every means at our disposal. Stop whining, making excuses, end the filibuster, and fight with some balls. So for those of you in Washington today who are worried about when Democrats retake power and the things that they can do and leverage against you and your career, stop. Conservatives have your back. End the filibuster. Use the legal system. The American people are smart enough to understand that it would when it comes to their well-being and wishes, the ends always, always, always justify the means. Get it done. Stop messing around. End the filibuster, and help the American people so we can continue our path of greatness and our conservative movement in preserving and enjoying this great nation we've all learned to love and prosper within. I'm Chad Law, and this was Monday's Monologue. I think most of you know I like to wear a suit every day.

You will look and feel your best, I promise. It seems Venezuelan drug boats are the new Democrats' Epstein Files scream. Since President Trump signed the Epstein Files law that they worked so hard to put into place to release all the guilty information, as they keep leaking and trying to frame President Trump with pictures of overage women with faces that are covered, or weird redacted documents. They're shifting their focus largely to war in Secretary Pete Heggseth and Venezuelan drug boats. According to the Democrats and the Democrat arm of the media, which is all corporate media, there were these nice little boats that happened to have some coke on them flying through the Caribbean at very, very rapid speeds, uh, that also apparently had families and um prisoners, innocent prisoners. And Secretary Haiggs says then Trump and their bloodlust to start war and go after Venezuelan oil hit the big red nuclear button and destroyed innocent people with bombs in the Caribbean. How dangerous. Congress should take back war powers and control, right? Wrong. Let's look at this from a much bigger standpoint. Okay, communist leaders have to sell themselves every single day. Some people call it selling themselves, some people call it propaganda. It's the same thing. However, if they don't sell what they're creating and what they're doing in the nations that they rule, revolution takes place. We see it today in China. The second the work slows down, after the CCP has essentially told everyone in China that they will make sure everyone has a job, everyone has food in their belly, everyone has a roof over their head. When the economy starts slowing down there, immediately revolution starts to boil. Okay. Russia, same thing with Putin. It is within their best interest to paint a picture of a failing United States as the prime example of democracy, freedom, and everything else that they have removed and have taken away from their citizens and leverage bad news and bad visuals and bad information. How do they do that? Well, one of the biggest tricks in the book that has been around since the beginning of time is to get populations hooked on drugs. We talk about fentanyl, we talk about opiates. I know Venezuela isn't exactly tied directly to the fentanyl trade, even though the cartels all work together. They are tied to the distribution of fentanyl and being a trade route for fentanyl and cocaine and marijuana. But regardless of Venezuela's direct tie to fentanyl, we have to look at history to understand that getting countries dependent on drugs has been a tactic of war since the 1800s. I mean, China at one time was a completely closed loop economy. They had no external or global trade. They were completely self-sufficient and they were not interested in global trade. Our friends in the UK, who seemingly are never blamed for their colonialism. It's always the United States, but I digress. Our friends in the UK decided, well, they need the Chinese tea, they need the Chinese silk. The Chinese don't want to play ball, so they introduce opium to the entire country in the 1800s, get a majority of Chinese residents hooked on opium, which created a dependency on a substance that they could provide for them in order to encourage them in the global trade so they could get their tea and their silk. Drugs have been used to decimate populations, democracies, and civilizations for hundreds of years, including opium. Okay. Drugs have destroyed populations for hundreds and hundreds of years. Drugs are a tool of war to help spread seeds of discontent throughout our democracy and to give communist leaders talking points about why they're so much better than we are. Their job is to make us look bad so they can look better to their people, to avoid revolution, to avoid revolt, to avoid violence, and most importantly, to remain in power. This is how communist leaders remain in power. They create discontent in democracies. Okay. So their news organizations show people all over the streets, hooked on fentanyl, the drug dealers and the drug trades, the crime related to drugs. And then they say, we don't have any drugs. We don't have that problem here. Look how great we've made it here. Venezuela is a client state of Russia. They've been a client state of Russia since 1958 when Hugo Chavez took over the nation of Venezuela when they tried to create a free market for their oil production. Revolt ensued. Chavez took over, and they've been under some form of socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, with zero private property, centralized strong government power, and absolute control of the means of production since 1958. Maduro is similar to Chavez except for Chavez pretended to not like the drug trade. Maduro is openly involved and he is a self-proclaimed cartel leader. He admits it. He doesn't hide it. He admits it, he's open about it, and he's never done anything to fix it. Chavez pretended to fix the drug problems and to go after the drug trafficking, even though he was involved behind the scenes. He wasn't a full-on narco-terrorist like Maduro is. Maduro's taking things to the next level. It is within Maduro, Putin, Z, and all the rest of the communists in the world to feed drugs into this country. Venezuela is simply there as a client state of Russia to stop the spread and to counterbalance the spread of democracy through South America and Central America. And now, taking advantage of open borders, it was used as a way to send criminals, to create crime and more discontent through the streets of America. Again, to better these communist leaders. The worse we look, the more power the communists get. So it makes sense that they would send criminals, that they would send drugs and they would spread misinformation all over our country in acts of war to create discontent, with the ultimate goal of Americans becoming unhappy, revolting, and calling for a communist revolution in this country. That's the ultimate goal. But in the meantime, they get to use all these great little clips and snippets of how our country is going down the tubes based on what they're introducing. And whenever we've had openings in immigration, openings or leniency in drug enforcement, crime enforcement, these sanctuary cities, these communist leaders know exactly how to use our weaknesses against us in order to spread seeds of discontent in our democracy in blatant acts of war. Reagan might have won the Cold War, but the tactics have never stopped, folks. And what Trump is doing is no different than Kennedy's embargo. Sure, we're using military strikes, drone strikes against boats that are bringing narcotics into the United States. The fact checkers and the liberals out there want you to think that because it's not fentanyl, it doesn't matter. Well, if it's not fentanyl, it's cocaine. Cocaine oftentimes leads to the usage of fentanyl. Cocaine is a fentanyl gateway. Any drug is a fentanyl gateway, as fentanyl is seemingly the peak high that people need to get to to completely obliterate themselves and obliterate their reality so they don't have to live in the hell that they've created. So cocaine leads to fentanyl usage, anyways. Ridiculously enough, everyone has known someone who's been negatively impacted by cocaine. It's a terrible drug and a terrible addiction. Just because it's not as lethal as fentanyl doesn't mean that it doesn't have the same detrimental effects on our economy, our democracy, on our criminal justice system, our prisons, and our schools. So by taking an offensive stance against the importation of drugs, what we're essentially saying is no more acts of war so communist leaders can remain in power by framing the United States to be a bunch of druggie criminals who use this freedom for bad instead of for good. So when I look at the naysayers and the media who want to make it sound like Trump and Heggseth are out just launching missiles at people who are snorkeling and enjoying the Caribbean, it makes me sick. It makes me even more sick that by taking an offensive stance on the drug problem in this country, we're getting pushback from Democrats and liberals and the media, making it seem like there's some greater, bigger uh conspiracy out there with Venezuela. There is not. Here's the deal, folks. Anyone who's dealt with addiction understands addiction is not like a product or a process where oftentimes you can change demand. You can change demand and dependency on something and move it to something else. For example, oil. Okay. Americans, you could say we are addicted to oil or fossil fuels. The environmentalists out there or or whomever you want to call them are actively working to decrease our demand on oil, decrease our dependency on oil, and increase our dependency and demand on other forms of energy, whether it be solar, nuclear, or whatever. That cannot happen with drugs. The only way to essentially effect change when it comes to the usage of drugs is to cut off the supply before you worry about the demand. With oil and electricity, with plastic, for example, or garbage or any of these other things that we're dependent on, that experts are slowly trying to limit our demand and our dependency on and increase in other more sustainable areas. That is the normal ebb and flow of supply and demand. That's how it works in our economy. That's how it works with our policy. We can use policy to affect demand. It doesn't work with drugs. The only way to stop the drug usage is to cut the supply first, which is why when people are on the streets and addicted to drugs, they go into detox. They can't be using drugs while they're being counseled. You have to be sober, you have to get off the drugs, you have to cut the supply. And that's what we're doing. Needs to happen in Mexico, which are the biggest traffickers of fentanyl. But Venezuela is the same. And Venezuela is the same, and even maybe more serious, because not only are they affecting our economy and spreading seeds of discontent through drugs, but they're also sending criminals. And many experts will say, well, Chad, how do we know they're sending criminals? Well, I'll tell you how we know. Before Biden became into the presidency, uh, Venezuelans at our southern border were pretty minimal. According to U.S. customs and immigration numbers, in years 2020, 2021, we had it somewhere around 3,000 Venezuelan nationals arrive at our southern border. Biden in 2021 granted parole status for every Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Cuban, and Haitian national that wanted to come into our country up to 25,000 people in total. Guess how many Venezuelans then started meeting us at our southern border? 67% increase. So we went from roughly 3,000 in two years, 1,500 a year, to over 10,000 at the southern border. That doesn't include people that we didn't keep track of, but 10,000 parolees from Venezuela. And when we use the word parolee, this is the nomenclature the Democrats changed in order to get parolees, which were also known as asylum seekers, free health care, and free education, free driver's licenses, and all the other things that you're seeing today. That's because the parole nomenclature was included in all the benefits that regular American citizens get. So these parolees from Venezuela were absolutely criminals. And they absolutely were smart enough to know that that parolee designation was going to allow Maduro to release thousands of his criminals and push them into giant caravans that come up through Central America and cross at our southern border. Why would he do that? One, why does he want the criminals? If you look at the Venezuelan national papers right now, everyone is talking about how low their crime rates are. That's because all their criminals are gone. All of their criminals are gone. They're here. Second of all, we know they're criminals because there's Venezuelan gangs. Trendy, away, awayo, whatever it is. These guys don't come over. They don't come over and organize these gangs right away. These are smart, strategic criminal enterprises that are created for the purpose of causing crime, discontent, and craziness in the streets. The videos of Venezuelans taking over apartment buildings in Colorado, the Chanda Agua gang, for example. Those are videos that people like Maduro and Putin and G use to justify communist parties to showcase how distraught democracy is. This is how they stay in power. This is how they sell themselves, folks. We got to get with the program. Drugs, criminals, and misinformation are all acts of war coming in from Venezuela, inspired and pushed by Russia and China to create essentially all the messes that we're seeing today on the streets. The crime, the discontent, the riots, the violence. And then the immigration coming and reinforcing immigration law that's been on the books for 50 plus years, rounding up the criminals that came in, taking them back, get met with liberal and Democrat opposition to spread more discontent, to create more riots and more violence against law enforcement, and give everything these socialist, communist, fascist leaders want. And folks, I want to tell you there's a reason why I'm not sticking with just socialist or communist or fascist, because liberals in this country have done so much to twist and redefine what those terms mean that socialism is seemingly a good thing. Communism is seemingly a bad thing, even though one is born and bred right out of the other. So I just call it all anti-American, anti-free market. Anything that does not have private property, does not have a market economy, and doesn't have some sort of parliamentary democracy is not something that we should ever be willing to even discuss in this country, whether it be socialism, communism, fashion, fascism, or whatever semantics the Democrats have pushed you to become hung up on. Either way, these leaders are thriving because of the drugs, criminals, and misinformation that's being brought into this country from elsewhere. And if we don't stop that supply of all of those things using war tactics the same way these are tactics of war, then this country will collapse. Period. History has thousands of examples of civilizations that are no longer around because of the ill effects of mass immigration, crime, drug dependency, and misinformation. So let's hear from Secretary Heggseth himself.
SPEAKER_06:We've only just begun striking narco boats and putting narco-terrorists uh at the bottom of the ocean because they've been poisoning the American people. And Joe Biden tried to approach it with kid gloves and allowed them to come across the border, a cartels take over community, 20 million people, hundreds of thousands of Americans poisoned. And President Trump said, no, we're taking the gloves off, we're taking the fight to these designated terror organizations, and it's exactly what we're doing. So we're stopping the drugs, we're striking the boats, uh, we're defeating narco-terrorists, and we're seeing.
SPEAKER_07:And I don't know who the 9% is. I'm not sure either, sir, because down 91% by seeing.
SPEAKER_06:We've had a bit of a pause because it's hard to find votes to strike right now. Which is the entire point, right? Deterrence has to matter, not arrest and hand over and then do it again. The rinse and repeat approach of previous administrations. This is meant to get after that approach. And I will just end by saying.
SPEAKER_02:I love what he says. The rinse and repeat of international relations is no longer working. Arrest, return, repeat. We're seeing that with immigration as well. We've arrested, returned these asylum seekers. And guess what happens? They come back, they light people on fire on subways. It's the same thing. And the other point that I want to drive home that Secretary Heggseth made there is that we have to use deterrence that matters. We have to use deterrence that matters. So if some couple innocent people die, which I'm sure they were not innocent, but if a couple of innocent people die in an effort to use deterrence that matters, that gets results, like a 91 reduction in drugs coming by sea, then I believe that their sacrifice was worth it. They'd have never been on a drug boat in the first place. As many of you know, John Mersheimer is someone that I've followed and respected for many years when it comes to international relations. And I wanted to listen to a little bit about what he has to say about the situation in Venezuela.
SPEAKER_03:Venezuela is a huge piece of real estate, and they have substantial military forces. Uh, and if you're going to invade that country for purposes of doing regime change, you'd need a really large force. And I think that, you know, you can talk about maybe uh sending in special forces teams that can decapitate the regime or using air power or naval power to coerce Venezuela. But when you look carefully at these options, they don't spell success either. When you go into countries like Vietnam or Venezuela, you're engaging in social engineering. And social engineering is incredibly difficult to do. And militaries are not good at social engineering, uh, especially in places like Venezuela where the politics are incredibly complicated. So I don't see how military force of any sort can solve this problem. I mean, I think Trump likes to talk tough, uh, and he'll use military force, but actually in a very selective way.
SPEAKER_02:I love when he talks about how social engineering doesn't work, especially from a military standpoint. It didn't work with USAID. It doesn't work, period. One thing that I do disagree with John Mersheimer on, or not necessarily disagree, but I think he's missing the point, which is Trump has shown no interest in ground troops in Venezuela, actual ground troops in Venezuela. Secretary Heggseth has shown no interest or advances in ground troops in Venezuela. Yes, we have upped our military presence presence around the nation of Venezuela and within the Caribbean, but again, we're talking about meaningful deterrence. So has Trump done anything wrong? No. And just like John Mersheimer says, he believes that Trump understands that this is a losing battle. And it is a losing battle. What we want to do is put so much pressure on Maduro from its people, from the people of Venezuela who do not want to be under communist rule anymore. We want them to understand that they have the support of the American people, much like what we did when we took out Iran's nuclear capabilities. We didn't go after them to kill or do a regime change. We took out their power. What we're gonna do with Venezuela is the same thing. We're gonna place embargoes on their oil. We're gonna take away their shadow tankers, we're gonna kill their drug trade. Everything that keeps Maduro in power is going to be fair game when it comes to the U.S. military. But no one's looking to social engineer or put ground troops in Caracas and start another Iraq 2.0. Trump knows that. He learned from the worst, George W. Bush, who we're still paying for his uh active role in social engineering the Iraqi government from Saddam Hussein by using weapons of mass destruction as an excuse for bridging war. Trump's not using drugs as an excuse to bridge a war in Venezuela or ground troops in Venezuela. What Trump is doing is he's putting immense amounts of pressure on a narco-terrorist regime to collapse from the support of the US to the people of Venezuela and by taking the food off their plate and making sure that they cannot continually be fed with oil and drugs as a client state of Russia and then spread seeds of discontent and try to interfere with our democracy. We'll talk about redistricting and crazy obstructionist Rand Paul when we come back after these words. I think most of you know I like to wear a suit every day. However, it can get overwhelming with the dry cleaning costs and overheating with all the extra layers that I have to wear in and out of meetings, especially living in Arizona where it gets really hot. Well, let me tell you, I have found the answer. Twillery.com. Twillery is a men's apparel company online that specializes in something called the Air Suit. The Twilery Airsuit looks like an Italian handmade, hand-tailored suit, but it's actually made out of a basketball jersey-like material, if you will, that's stretchable, breathable, and you can't tell the difference if you're wearing your suit or your Lulus.

You will look and feel your best, I promise. And we're back, America, to talk a little bit about redistricting. Now, something that we haven't seen is Republicans going against other Republicans in this redistricting conversation. Unfortunately, Rand Paul, master obstructionist, whiner, and wishes he was his daddy, has decided to come out and criticize both parties in typical politician fashion instead of admitting what's really going on. Let's have a listen.
SPEAKER_05:You know, it's it's this escalation on both sides. You know, both sides are doing it. So is one side going to sit quietly and not do it. You can argue who started it. But I do think this, and this is on the negative aspect of both parties doing this, I think that is going to lead to more civil tension and possibly more violence in our country. Because think about it, if if 35% of Texas is Democrat, solidly Democrat, and they have zero representation, or like in my state, we're a very Republican state, but we have one Democrat area in Louisville and we have a Democrat congressman, we could carve up Louisville and get rid of that one congressman, but how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel like they're not represented. And so I don't know. I think it's bad, but it's really not one part or the other doing it. It's both parties have been doing it since the beginning of time. But in general, when it becomes so extreme, like if California has no d no Republican representatives after this is done or has one left, I think that makes people so dissatisfied they think, well, the electoral process isn't working anymore. Maybe we have to resort to other means. And I don't want that. And I think both parties it could happen to. But uh I think we need to be aware of and think about that before we do all this.
SPEAKER_00:Senator, I have to follow up with you because what you're saying is very significant. You're saying that you are concerned redistricting could lead to more political violence.
SPEAKER_05:I'm concerned if there are no representatives, like no Republican representatives in California or no Democrats in Texas, that it will be so thoroughly one-sided that people will feel like their vote isn't counting. And so I think it's a mistake. But I'm not saying it's a mistake of the Republicans. I'm saying it's a mistake of both parties, and I don't know exactly how we de-escalate this.
SPEAKER_02:Like I said, in typical politician form, Rand Paul, master obstructionist, who gave us a glimmer of hope when he decided to go after Anthony Fauci, but has since returned to his obstructionist style, is blaming both parties for escalating redistricting conversations. He also used Kentucky, his own state, as an example. The craziest part about Rand's assertion, however, is that he believes that by redistricting, and remember, the people who are doing most of the redistricting right now are Republicans because Democrats historically have already gerrymandered the hell out of all of their states and have no more timeouts left in the fourth quarter. So they're mad that we're getting an opportunity to do this, even though they've already done it over and over and over again for generations. I mean, the term gerrymandering comes from a man named Eldridge Jerry in 1812, and the Massachusetts Gazette wrote an article about how he was changing up voting districts in 1812 to benefit his party. This is part of the American political landscape. None of us have to like it, but we have to understand it. So when states redistrict, there's two ways they can do it. They can stack or they can crack, or some people call it packing and cracking. Either way, they take one district and split it to favor one side to the other, or they take smaller districts and put them together in one big supermajority district in order to make sure that those seats remain guaranteed for that party. Okay, so they either pack districts or crack districts. It was surprising that California was actually able to squeeze five more Democratic seats out of the map. But if you look at major Democrat states, you look at Connecticut, 42% of people in Connecticut voted for Donald Trump. However, there are zero Republican seats in Congress. Same with Massachusetts. A little over 33% of the people of Massachusetts voted for Donald Trump, zero Republican representation. Oregon, one Republican, although 41% of the state voted for Donald Trump. Illinois, 43% of the state voted for Donald Trump. They have 17 total seats with only three Republicans. Now, in order to appease many people, multiple states went into what they call a committee redistricting, which means that they use a nonpartisan committee to draw the lines to ensure maximum fairness. However, in most blue states, those committees are appointed by either a supermajority of state legislators or their Democrat governor. For example, in California, they had a committee, but the committee was appointed by Newsom and Jerry Brown and all the rest of the supermajority Democrats that have screwed up California for the last 25 years. Point is that redistricting has occurred and Republican voices and representation has been etched out of every major blue state in the United States today without any political violence. So when California slowly redrew maps, redrew maps, and redrew maps, there were no riots. No one was shooting anyone, there were no one burning down the Capitol. No, none of that was going on. However, according to Rand Paul, again, highlighting the problem with Republicans, always based in fear, always worried about retribution, constantly negotiating from a place of weakness. So here's Rand Paul saying, well, if we were to take Louisville, which has a small blue dot and a big red state and split that up to get rid of Democrat representation, there would be violence. Well, you're probably right. Just like we'll see violence in Texas and violence in, well, what we would have seen in Indiana if it wasn't for the Penns Mafia, never Trumpers there. The point is, is that when did it become such a problem for us to use the administrative state and bureaucracy the same way the Democrats have used in their supermajorities for many, many, many years? How come it's such a problem now? And how come we're the ones now that are inspiring violence in the streets because of redistricting? This is the problem with our party. Spineless people like Rand Paul show up and they make comments like that and they try to level Republicans with Democrats. Well, guess what? We've been redistrict for over 25 years. Every single 10 years, Democrats gerrymander their maps. Okay, they're frustrated that we're not following the tradition of every 10 years, every census. There's nothing in the Constitution that says that you have to redistrict every 10 years. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't redistrict based on political party. And there's also nothing in the Constitution that says that redistricting has some decorum or nonpartisan uh element to it that everyone should accept for maximizing fairness. That is not how our system works. It's not how our system works. It's never worked that way and it never will work that way, because representation should be based on registration numbers, et cetera. Unfortunately, we use the census based on population, based on voters who may or may not be citizens, because there's no ID requirement or citizen requirement within the census population numbers. So when you break all of that down, you understand that the game's been used against Republicans for 20 years, yet Republicans are now saying that their fear is violence by escalating the redistricting, and their fear is not being fair. Whereas we have been screwed in the ass without lube, bureaucratically, administratively, by the Democrats, by the left, by the progressives, who will continue to do this. All you have to do is look at maps like Illinois, look at maps like Connecticut, Oregon. It looks like six-year-olds drew these lines in order to pack and crack districts to make it work for Democrats. Now we're doing the same thing, which by the way, the Supreme Court has already said is 100% acceptable. And federal courts will no longer weigh in to congressional district maps, because it's ridiculous, unless they can prove something like race, which is what they're using now in Texas. They're saying that minorities are being uh unjustly affected by the redistricting, which is just plain not true. Whenever Republicans do anything that Democrats do, even if we follow the exact same steps, we'll always be racist, we'll always be inciting violence, and we'll be always be on the wrong side of history, according to Democrats and their media arm. We have to stop getting pushed around by this. And the attitudes like what we're seeing of Rand Paul is hey now, we don't want to be violent. We don't want violence. This is the same attitude that is why the Somalis were able to steal billions and billions of dollars. Oh, we don't want to be racist. Cut the fear. Why are we still negotiating from a place of fear? Why are we still talking about how there's going to be political violence when it comes to redistricting, even though Republicans have been inched out in the redistricting conversation for dozens of years? Why? Why? Why do Republicans do this? Why is Rand Paul suddenly blaming his Republican colleagues for something that Democrats have done for years with no violence? Go figure. No violence. Because we're the party of taking it up the ass without lube, and they're the party of rewriting the rules to suit them. And then we complain about fairness and say, oh, pump the brakes. There might be violence. No, the only time there's violence is when Democrats don't get what they want and their manipulative and radical behavior doesn't yield the results that they're looking for. We know that because we've seen it from the assassination of Charlie Kirk all the way through to these No Kings protests that often have turned violent into exploding Tesla dealerships and throwing bombs into government buildings. Look at the ICE protesters. There is only one side of this country that is violent, and it is the left. Redistricting doesn't cause political violence. Political violence is caused by coddling and creating conditions where that can be allowed to happen, like in lawless states. So to the Pence Mafia and the never Trumpers in Indiana who have decided to put the kibosh on redistricting, guess what? It's only a matter of time until Republicans are inched out and Democrats rule in administrative lawfare because they are better at doing these things. You've had an opportunity to redistrict, you've failed. Not only are you going to get primaried by MAGA for not supporting the movement and the party, but if you think that you're untouchable from Democrats because of the supermajority that you have on the right, think again. This has happened time and time again in states that were more balanced, like California, like Connecticut, like Oregon. And it's happened time and time again as these states have pushed leftist agendas, they've pushed more left representation, and Republicans have taken a back seat, regardless of the voting, regardless of the actual registration numbers, and regardless of the actual population of American voters. Doesn't matter. They've been able to achieve this through years and years of administrative warfare. And to think that you're immune from that is ridiculous. Why are we not using every tool in the book? Why would these Indiana Republicans go against what's best for our movement? Do they want to see more people like Mandami and AOC and now running for Senate, Jasmine Crockett? Is this what they want in Indiana? Is this what they want to see? And then they're going to rest on their laurels and blame the potential of political violence on redistricting, even though Democrats have redistricted and gerrymandered for years and Republicans have never been violent in response. Come on, Rand. Come on, Rhinos. Get it together. Put your best foot forward and use every tool that we have. And for those never Trump Pence Mafia people, just like the McCain mafia in Arizona that are never Trumpers or some of the uh loyal Bush politicians that are still left in parts of Texas. Get the hell out of our movement. Get out of our way. We will not stop for you. Ladies and gentlemen, mark my words. The only time political violence will happen with redistricting is when it happens to Democrats and they will be encouraged by their Democrat leaderships the same way they're being encouraged to be violent against ICE, the same way they're encouraged to be refusing orders from the US military. The chaos will not stop. And the more we try to level ourselves with Democrats and bring ourselves to that level and try to play it cool like Rand Paul is in this clip, is the more we will lose every single time. Rand, say the truth. Republicans have been screwed and lost the redistricting gerrymandering game for the last 30, 40, 50 years, even beyond. We've lost, but we've never been violent. So to look and say that redistricting, the redistricting efforts that are largely Republican right now could cause political violence is not only irresponsible, but it's damn right dishonest. And you're making your own party and your own people look bad in an effort to try to play your political game and be safe. Doesn't work for me. Doesn't work for the last gay conservative. I'll tell you that, folks. When we get back, we'll talk about the left's biggest lies of the week. And it wouldn't be a show without the Last Gay Syphilis Center for Disease Control. We'll talk a little bit about our latest residents to our Last Gay Syphilis Center, who are Tucker Katarlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Milo Yanninopoulos, and the rest of them that are obviously suffering from some severe brain rot, and we're hoping that we can nurse them back to health in the last gay syphilis center. More when we come back after these work. Don't forget to tune in, like, subscribe, and watch the show on YouTube or anywhere you listen to podcasts. Just keep in mind the audio might be slightly different now that it's being repurposed for audio from video as we continue to expand our presence online. Again, thank you. You are the best, most beautiful, most well-informed, and smart audience in conservative politics today. And I'd be nothing without each and every one of you. Don't forget to go to YouTube, check out the last gay conservative, like, subscribe, and share. Want to talk about Newt Gingrich's take on the Trump economy. We've pulled some clips of him discussing what he thinks are some of the parallels between Trump's economy and Reagan's economy when he took over for Carter, some of the supply-side economic factors that are very important to consider, as well as some of the talking points that Republicans need to drive home in order to be successful in the midterms. Let's take a listen to what Newt has to say.
SPEAKER_04:Reagan in 1983, at one point, was behind in the polls to both Walter Mondale and to John Glenn. A year later, he carried 49 states because the economy recovered. So I think that's the key.
SPEAKER_02:We know Trump inherited a terrible economy. And it wasn't just Biden's economy. It was Obama's economy, or I could say Obama's economy. The massive amount of regulation, the massive amount of meddling within our petroleum markets, our export markets, our food and agriculture markets, all the environmental restrictions and EPA nonsense that's been placed on private business, all of those things, along with since the 1990s selling off of Reagan's supply-side economy to the highest bidder by the globalist Democrats and Republicans of the Uniparty of the 90s and early 2000s. Our economy has been being chipped away at little by little since then. And then it got pushed on overdrive when Biden canceled all kinds of petroleum leases, but doubled down on EPA regulations and regulated the hell out of our market. From banking institutions to insurance companies to healthcare, nothing was untouched by the Obama-Biden regime, which has created the affordability crisis and the mess that we're in today. And we're not even really in an affordability crisis. I mean, inflation is down below 3% when it was close to 10% at its highest under the Biden-Harris regime. Until we feel the full effects of the Trump rebound, everyone is going to be under immense scrutiny and pressure at home to pay bills and to feel fulfilled. And until that happens, people's votes are not going to be secure into Trump's ballot box. So what he did in Pennsylvania with the recent rally where he discussed this Democrat affordability scam was very, very important. Let's see what else Newt has to say.
SPEAKER_04:The biggest issues in the economy aren't uh, you know, groceries. Uh, the biggest issues are health care, uh, housing, uh the cost of insurance in general. Uh, these are areas where the Republicans have got to get their act together. Uh, we need transparency, for example, in healthcare, which would almost overnight uh bring down the cost of healthcare by allowing people to compare price and quality in a way which you do everywhere else in the marketplace.
SPEAKER_02:You know, one of Newt's main points there, again, is part of this affordability scam that the Democrats are trying to perpetuate is these groceries. If you go on X right now and find any typical Democrat politician, they're gonna have some weird little blog or some third-party news article about how the cost of eggs is back up and how beef is too high, blaming the Trump tariffs. When in reality, people aren't feeling the credit crunch at the grocery store. They're feeling the credit crunch with their insurance companies, with healthcare, all things that have been totally metaled and disrupted during Obama plus Biden's little four year stem.
SPEAKER_04:I'm not at this point very worried. This is about where I thought we'd be. It's why I thought getting the big beautiful bill through by July 4th mattered. And I have the hunch that all next spring, uh, much like you saw at the stock market today, all next spring, the American economy is going to recover, things are going to get better, people are going to feel better. Uh, and by July 4th, I believe, uh, people are going to feel that there's a Trump boom uh versus the Democrats' gloom. And I think that choice will be pretty decisive. For example, this last quarter, as you know, uh wages went up faster than inflation.
SPEAKER_08:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Uh now that's that's when you begin to get the right kind of momentum, as Reagan did.
SPEAKER_02:It's so interesting. He talks about the Trump boom over the Democrat gloom. It's so true. The Democrat gloom is so depressing. I mean, how do you listen to any of these people? They're so depressing and sad. Everything's the end of the world, everything's a problem. They go around pointing out every problem, everything, and then offer zero substance on how to fix it. What a depressing existence, the Democrat gloom versus the Trump boom. I love that. I don't know if Newt wrote that, but I love that phrase. Another big thing that he's talking about here is that Republicans need to get their act together and focus on the things that matter and stop playing defense on these crazy Democrat assertions about the economy when most Americans know the Democrats have zero clue when it comes to the economy. They never have and they never will. They've never cared about affordability. Where was affordability in the Green New Deal? Where's affordability in the blue states with the highest gas prices, like in California at 449, when in red states they're selling gas for under$2 a gallon today? There's no affordability crisis. The crisis is that the areas of industry that have been completely disrupted and meddled by Democrats in the past, the chickens have come home to roost and they've made it so completely unattainable, unaffordable, and stressful for people that they have to shift the blame somehow. And Newt calls that out right then and there. The other thing I think is so huge that he talks about is that for the first time, wages beat inflation. I've talked about this for months now as it pertains to illegal immigration, is that I believe that wages will begin to rebound once we eliminate that anchor of illegal immigrants that are keeping Americans below the poverty line by accepting wages from 20 years ago that no American should have to make now. Period. But because companies have this alternative slave labor, of course, they exploit it, they use it, and everything's relative to that as to how everyone else is getting paid. So we finally are now seeing relief in the wages market, and we're seeing incomes go up faster than inflation moving up or down. Incomes are going up, inflation is settling. That is exactly where Reagan was right before the boom and the takeoff took place. We need to have some patience. But more importantly, keep reiterating the facts to the American people. Why aren't we advertising the fact that the fuel industry is finally back on track? Wages finally back on track. There are several key performance indicators that are seemingly more important to Americans than the trillions and trillions in foreign investments that Trump has been out getting. I personally believe that everything is an equal piece of the pie that needs an equal amount of focus. And for him to take the low-hanging fruit and get the income and the trade deals done that are a lot easier to do than some of the domestic problems because we constantly have to fight the socialist democrats. I think that was a very smart play. But now it's being used against him, and he needs to turn on a dime like he always does and tell the American people what's coming and what they can expect. The very last thing that Newt says that has to be a part of our midterms is that we have got to combat the terrible optics of ICE and our immigration enforcement efforts that we've been forced to handle because no other administration would handle it before. In order to counterbalance some of those really negative optics that we see on the DNC corporate media channels every day, we have to push and promote legal migration, legal immigration, which is great for the country. Great for the country. Always has been, always will be. These are people that are coming in through our systems that we can assure, assimilate, and truly want to be here. However, illegal immigration has to be stopped because it's detrimental to our education system, our healthcare system, our economy, and our labor market. But if we can make that messaging clear, there's no reason why we can't have a massive red wave during the midterms in 2026. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of infighting and you know, these syphilitic misfucts like Tucker Carlson that we have to deal with. But the economy is low-hanging fruit. The American people just need to understand what's happening. Remember, people who remember Reagan's transition and his switch from a globalist demand economy to a supply-side economy, focusing on American manufacturing, essentially doing everything that Trump is doing now. That is low-hanging fruit that we need to tell the American people what's going to happen who don't remember or who weren't around when Reagan took over. Because the people who are around when Reagan took over are already more financially secure than where the credit crunch today is happening, which is millennials and Gen Zers. Those people weren't around during Reagan's transition. They need to understand we need to do a better job in making that message clear. And we also need to do a better job of saying, hey, we're not anti-immigrant, we're anti-illegal immigration. And this horrible, horrible thing that has to happen when we're doing these deportations, nobody likes it. No one wants to do it. But it has to be done in order to maintain the country that we so love and in order to maintain the opportunity to prosper within this great nation. It can't happen without borders and without floods of mass immigration and no systems of checks or balances to make sure that it doesn't get out of control. So now we're fixing it, we're bringing everything back, but we need to be clear that legal immigration is our friend. It is illegal immigration that's been so detrimental to our society. I think that's a huge, very, very important talking point from Newt to the Republicans who need to hammer that message home. Because again, illegal immigration and this affordability crisis are directly tied as illegal immigration has been the anchor to keep American wages down below where they should be for the last 40 years. All right, folks, that is all I can squeeze in for today. Be sure to turn in tomorrow to Wacky Wednesday. We'll talk about the left's biggest lies of the week, the last gay syphilis center for disease control, and more when we're back tomorrow. I'm Chad Law, reminding you of what Reagan once said. There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect. From the State of the Union address, February 6, 1985. God bless you, President Reagan, and may God save America.
