Show 15-51 Summary: USAID? The Social Security gateway fraud? All that fraud, waste, and abuse DOGE uncovered? That was bad. But more extensive fraud will be uncovered at the state levels. This week we bring back Rep. Ed Diehl to discuss this success of the No Gas Tax referendum movement. And what that success means for ODOT, an agency that oozes overspending and waste. And what it means for the Democrats who pushed this bill on Oregonians. ODOT is a prime example of a government agency abusing the taxpayer. We are seeing fraud, waste, and abuse exposed at every level of government. We drill down into the Somali fraud in Minnesota because there are patterns now emerging in other states where additional fraud is being uncovered. And those are very similar patterns to fraud that Ed is exposing at Oregon’s Health Authority.

This Week – Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Did it occur to anyone the reason why Oregon democrats shoved through the Gas Tax Bill is because throwing more money at ODOT makes it easier to cover up fraud, waste, and abuse? With big spending has come expansive, and expensive fraud. And we’ve only just started to see this exposed.
We welcome back Rep Ed Diehl to talk about the phenomenal success of the No Gas Tax signature gathering to put the referendum on the November election. They needed over 78,000 qualified signatures but have already turned in 193,000. Talk about room for margin of error.

Somali Fraud Framework Here in Oregon?
We’ve said Oregon is the Wuhan Lab of Leftist policies. And that’s true. They try out policies here, do some gain of function (trial and error, improve processes, persuasion points, marketing, funding, etc.,), and then export it to other states. Fraud happens that same way.
Someone schemes up something, they figure a way to make it work, then others in other states replicate it. And that’s what has happened with the Somali fraud. Which is being uncovered in other states.
It requires an expansive and overly generous social benefit program. Like welfare, Medicaid, food stamps, rental assistance, etc. And, in places like Oregon, they throw a whole bunch more of it under the umbrella of “health care.”
By having such massive amounts of money fly out the door, fraud becomes harder to find, despite there being more of it. It’s one thing to to find a single needle in a haystack. But a haystack the size of a barn can hide a lot more needles. Even worse: use illegal immigrants so anyone who looks can be labelled a “racist” to stop potential investigations in their tracks.
Don’t think that works? It did. In Minnesota, merely suggesting racism was enough to stall investigations. And now at least $1 billion was stolen from Minnesota. And some are saying it’s as high at $9 billion .
We talk with Ed about a fraud scandal through Oregon’s Health Authority. Which is so eager to create a football-field sized haystack they include things like Climate Change as “healthcare.” Literally anything can now be called healthcare.
But what to do about? Those are our questions too.

We talk with Dr. Simone Gold, the President and Founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, who led the White Coat Summit on the steps of the Supreme Court. She and other doctors took a stand against the fear and lies. Covid revealed was the worst in people. But it also revealed what had been brewing in the medical system for decades and then boiled over. Medical Marxism.

This Week – Medical Marxism
It’s been said the pandemic didn’t create problems. It revealed them. The pandemic didn’t create the worst in people. It revealed who they really were.
While we saw a lot of the worst of far too many people, we also so the best. And that was the case with the White Coat Summit. Doctors who refused to bow to fear and instead stood up to break the spell.
Fear is how tyrants rule. They need you to be afraid. Which is why the fear peddlers lashed out and tried to destroy them for daring to challenge them by offering hope.
Dr. Simone Gold
Doctor Simone Gold is an emergency doctor., lawyer, and fierce defender of what healthcare ought to be. And she saw the rise of Medical Marxism up close and extremely personal. She was threatened for prescribing hydroxychloroquine in the early days of the pandemic. And then fired for standing up to give people hope.
She shares with us the lies we saw that made the pandemic possible. And her fight now is to restore our rights to make our own decisions about the kind of health care we want and need. Because unless things change, we will lose our health freedom altogether.

Show 15-05 Summary: There is no doubt that Trump hit the White House running — on a mission of erasing Biden. In fact reporting on him has become a challenge just to keep up. He’s covering so much ground so fast that new news becomes old news almost in the same hour that he’s signing another new executive order. While Trump is undoing America’s decline under Biden as fast as he can, it will take a long time to unwind all of them. Because there were so many of them. We talk with Washington Times commentator and editor Cheryl Chumley about the first two whirlwind weeks. And we discuss her new book about God-given rights and restoring faith to prominence in America.

This Week – Have Faith – The Good Guys Are Back in Charge
In just his first two weeks, President Trump is off to a fast start to undo the horrible last four years of America’s decline under Resident Joe Biden. And as fast as Trump is moving to erase Biden, for a lot of us, it’s not fast enough.
Did we see DEI at work with the helicopter-plane collision at Reagan Airport? We certainly know there is a shortage of FAA workers, including traffic control. But Biden prioritized not only skin color over competence, he filled thousands of DEI compliance jobs over FAA jobs.
Fortunately for America, Trump is already making changes to restore confidence and competence in America. Although America has been so burned over the last four years, with outright abuses of power, it will take a lot to restore trust in America’s government. But what about restoring America’s faith? In God?
Erasing Biden – Cheryl Chumley
Cheryl Chumley is a commentator, online opinion editor for The Washington Times, host of the “Bold and Blunt” podcast, and approaches the news from a Christian-conservative viewpoint. We talk about the blizzard of executive orders and some changes we are already seeing. Like illegal immigration and the border, with immediate actions being taken on this huge campaign promise. But what about those illegal-immigration co-conspirators? And those pardons?
Click for full size
Trump said on the campaign trail and in his inaugural address: he believes God saved him so he can save America. So far, the message has been clear. Don’t mess with a man on a mission from God. And that includes erasing the Biden error. But erasing Biden will take more than executive orders.
But we also talk about her new book, God-Given or Bust: Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truths. (Click here for its Amazon page.) Cna we ever Make America Great Again without returning to Biblical truths. And that our rights really do come from God?
We saw what happened during covid. We saw the government use its power to censor people and posts it didn’t like. Whether that was questions about coivd or questioning the results of the 2020 election. Think about that. The government has a sacred duty to defend our rights instead used the power of government to strip people of their constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Buckle up. Trump 2.0 is just getting started. And it’s going to be an incredible ride.

This Week – Why Christians Need to Vote
Why do some people not take action when, if they did, they could have a major impact? And this is especially true of Christians. Who, ironically, are called to be the salt and light of the Earth. That doesn’t mean just standing there. It means doing something. Taking action.
And yet, according to one study, up to 73 million American Christians, may not vote in the 2024 election. Even if just half of them voted it would ensure victory against a Kamala Harris administration that has proven to be hostile to Christians and to Christianity. So why sit out the election?
This week we talk about should Christians vote, why don’t Christians vote, and how do we get Christians to vote. It’s time to get out of the pew and into the voting booth.
Why Christians Need to Vote: Protestant/Evangelical Perspective
First up, we talk with Pastor Lew Wootan from The River Church in Salem, Oregon. Pastor Lew walks us through why Christians should definitely vote and be engaged. And some of the bad information that would encourage Christians not to vote. As Pastor Lew sees it, churches that are not engaged, and pastors that encourage Christians not to be engaged, have a wrong perception about the duty of Christians. Which is to be engaged and active rather than invisible.
Pastor Lew especially takes aim at the notion that we are to be “in the world but not of the world” and how that has been wrongly used to disengage Christians from society.
Tune in to hear from an evangelical perspective not just why Christians need to vote but why Christians absolutely need to vote.
Why Christians Need to Vote: Catholic Perspective
And then we talk with Tommy Valentine, the director of the Catholic Accountability Project at CatholicVote—the nation’s largest lay Catholic advocacy organization. Tommy helps lead CatholicVote’s efforts to keep a watchful eye on Catholic institutions and politicians—yes, we ask him about Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden—as well as defending Catholics in the public square.
See why CBS banned CatholicVote’s devastating ad against Kamala Harris (click to watch)
CatholicVote came to our attention after several news sources broke the story that CBS refused to air their devastating ad against Kamala Harris’s attack on children. Including mutilating transgender surgeries.
Let’s not forget. The Biden/Harris administration has been openly hostile to Christians of all faiths. Biden/Kamala sent the FBI to spy on Christian parents who went to school board meetings to protest woke, anti-Christian ideology being pushed on their children. Biden and Kamala have defended pornography in school libraries. And they have completely destroyed the protections for girls and women in favor of biological men when they rewrote Title IX. (See our previous show on Biden/Harris destroying Title IX.)
We get the Catholic perspective on why Christians need to vote in 2024. And some great ideas Catholic churches have to get Christians to vote — by bringing the voting booth into the church.
And don’t miss the discussion from both our guests about the spiritual war happening right now in America.

This Week – Greater Idaho and Greater Censorship
We have a split show today — we’re talking about censorship in the second-half of our show, but first up we’ll be talking about the Greater Idaho Movement. Those two may sound like unrelated topics but at their heart, they’re quite similar — it’s about being free, and being free to speak one’s mind.
But do you really have free speech if the powers that be prevent anyone from being able to hear you?
Censorship is about only allowing one side of an issue to be discussed. The erasing… and silencing of other opinions. Only one side is heard, and any others? Well, we just don’t care. Only OUR voice matters.
Which is a bit like what happens in rural areas, where people who live there aren’t listened to. They have no voice. The only ones who do have a voice in rural areas are people who don’t even live there — people in big cities in other counties get to decide what’s best for rural areas.
Greater Idaho
First up we talk with Matt McCaw, the executive director of the Greater Idaho movement. This is an effort to expand Idaho’s border to the west and incorporate the more conservative rural counties of Eastern and Central Oregon. Counties that feel they have no voice in Salem. Because are outvoted by Oregon’s more populated far left counties. Which amounts to people who don’t live in rural areas telling people who do what they are allowed to do.
We’ve used this analogy before: letting people in cities make decisions about what people are “allowed” to do in rural areas is like letting people in rural areas decide things like how much internet people in cities are “allowed” to have. Or public transit. Or decide whether to build new roads or design traffic flows.
It’s an abusive relationship. And people in the rural counties are done with being battered and want out.
But if you think this divorce will never happen, take a listen. And it might just surprise how simple it is. And that it’s happened before. Right here in Oregon.
For more information on the Greater Idaho Movement, see their website: GreaterIdaho.org. Be sure to see their FAQs page.
The Censorship Movement
In the second half of the show, we talk “Greater Censorship” with Dan Schneider. Dan is the vice president of the Media Research Center, where he leads the Free Speech America program.
We witnessed censorship during covid. When differing opinions were blocked. Scientists and doctors were threatened if they did not comply. Threatened with losing their license if they disagreed with the mandates. And the vaccines. We saw censorship in the 2020 election. When the government conspired with social media to block posts unfavorable to Joe Biden. Especially the Hunter Laptop story. We saw Twitter remove Trump’s post on January 6, encouraging people to be peaceful and everyone needed to go home. But the media hid that. Why? To create the false narrative of an “insurrection.” And that Trump caused and encouraged it.
Simply put, it was a lie.
Remember: The truth never needs to be censored — unless you are in the business of telling lies.

Censorship — from Other Countries?
But the censorship movement hasn’t stopped. Elon Musk may have bought Twitter (now “X”) and exposed the censorship — because he knows there is nothing more fundamental to democracy and to freedom than free speech — but the censorship is still happening. And in many respects, it feels like it’s getting worse.
Is it? We talk with Dan about that. And we talk about the censorship we are seeing over in Europe and the U.K. with their protests against millions of immigrants. The EU’s threats against Elon for daring to talk to Trump—an American politician and presidential candidate. (“Foreign interference in our elections,” anyone…?) And it’s all happening live right now. Right in front of our faces.
But be sure to tune in to hear about a closed door meeting that MRC got a whistleblower inside. A secret meeting with Google telling leftist politicians how to get around Google’s own algorithm and restrictions on political speech. And, conveniently, not inviting right-leaning politicians.
And in case you’re wondering — yes, the censorship movement will get far worse under Kamala and Tim Walz. Both of whom are socialists. And that entails all of the censorship in any socialist country. You are not, and will not, be allowed to question the regime.

Because how can you trust people who have abused their positions—or the next person to hold that office—until there has been accountability? We talk with speaker and author Gianna Miceli about the lies of Doctor Fauci and the recent 9th Circuit ruling that said the covid vaccines were not vaccines and therefore cannot be mandated. And we talk to Dennis Linthicum, about his run for Secretary of State. An office that is sorely in need of accountability. Especially since it is supposed to hold other agencies accountable. And we look at one of the key powers Oregon’s Secretary of State has: the power of the audit. Just where did all those millions of dollars K-12 schools suddenly disappear to?

This Week – Accountability in Government
Accountability in government. It sounds great. It’s needed. So why does it seem to never happen?
This week, it’s about getting back some integrity back in government and holding people accountable who have abused their positions of power. And there is no greater example of that than Dr. Fauci. Who is walking away from his long-time government job with millions in his pocket from the companies he should have been holding accountable.
We talk with speaker and author Gianna Miceli about the many lies of Doctor Fauci. As a researcher in common law, are there ways to get some accountability in government the current system doesn’t allow? And we talk about the recent ruling by the 9th Circuit that said the covid vaccines were not vaccines and therefore cannot be mandated. Is this going to open up the floodgates to more lawsuits? (How could it not?)
And then we talk with former senator, Dennis Linthicum, about his run for Secretary of State. An office that is sorely in need of accountability especially since it is supposed to hold other agencies accountable. We focus especially on one of the powers the Secretary of State’s office has the power of the audit. What has happened to all of those millions of dollars the school’s got? and why are they all suddenly short and their budgets by millions of dollars? The Newberg School District is just one example. Three months ago, the superintendent said they were some $8 million to the good. But by a May 28 budget meeting, he announced they were $4 million in the hole. And he suddenly went on a medical leave so he can’t be fired. That’s not suspicious at all.
If everyone wants accountability in government, why does it never happen?

This Week – Oregon’s Election Disinformation Monitoring System
We had a last-minute guest cancellation and were all set to air a best-of this weekend. But then, out of the blue, we found out late Thursday that Oregon’s Secretary of State had put out a RFP for vendors, looking for a surveillance system to spy on its citizens. Oregon wanted someone with a surveillance system that had the capabilities to monitor, track, flag, and report back to bureaucrats whatever the State deems to be election “misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation.”
That’s right. Welcome to Oregon’s War on Free Speech.
Want to read Oregon’s censorship RFP for yourself? Scroll down to the Research, Links Mentioned & Additional Info section
This tracking system has massive tracking capabilities. Oregon’s RFP stated it wanted a provider to monitor all social media, websites, blogs, videos, podcasts — even radio broadcasts. All to hunt down whatever it determines to be “election disinformation.” Even whatever it deems to be misinformation or malinformation.
The stated goal is to give the State a free speech early warning system. To identify trends. And allow election officials to dispute, respond, and even censor any information that the state doesn’t like.
Oregon’s War on Free Speech
We welcome back Marc Thielman who is the lead plaintiff in an election integrity lawsuit,which is currently before the 9th Circuit. Marc and others wanted to help the state prove there was no election fraud. But the State sued to stop them, thank you very much. Now why would the State stop someone from helping them prove the elections can be trusted?
Censoring “election disinformation”? Tucker nails it. (Click for full image)
Because the State tells you not to ask questions. You’re not allowed to ask questions. Do not question your betters. The State telling you, “Trust us” should be enough when it comes to questions about election integrity.
Nothing says “trust” like suing people who want to trust you.
But now, the State has gone off the deep end. It wants to proactively hunt down what it, in its sole discretion, deems to be election disinformation. No questioning the elections.
Marc and Mark go through this chilling and blatant attack on free speech. With this RFP, Oregon’s Secretary of State has effectively announced the State will now monitor everything people say online or over the air about elections so they can be alerted to it. And yes. They will undoubtedly seek to censor differing opinions. And even report “evildoers” spreading “election disinformation” to the FBI. And we know where that will head.
But where is this headed? What lies further down the censorship slippery slope? If the goal is to censor election disinformation, what’s next? We know the Oregon and the Biden administration worked with Big Tech to censor important information about covid and the vaccines. Information that could have saved lives. And even before that, the Biden campaign and his Deep State allies blocked and censored information about the 2020 election that would have cost Biden the election. The Hunter laptop and Joe’s corruption schemes.
Fighting Back Against Oregon’s Surveillance
If Oregon is allowed to monitor, profile, track and spy on you, with the goal of censoring or even reporting you — for your opinion — they will not stop here. You know they won’t. So, Marc Thielman has announced he will once again sue the State to stop them. And they absolutely need to stop.
Fighting back isn’t cheap. It costs $5,000 just for the filing fee. Head to Marc’s Battleground Oregon website to donate and to help him fight this attack on your right to free speech. It’s your right. Your opinion. Your right to say whatever you want to say. And the State should not be allowed to prevent you.
That’s the point of free speech.
And a reminder for Big Brother Oregon: it is the government’s job to protect free speech. Not censor or it.
What You Can DO About Oregon’s Election Censorship
We know from last week’s show about fighting offshore wind farms that public outcry is a huge part of stopping government’s plans and overreach. That’s why it is critical that you speak up. You cannot be silent on this. Or before long, you won’t have any choice but to be silent.
How? By contacting election officials and — politely but firmly —tell them you are opposed to this monitoring of free speech. Here are Marc’s suggestions for an effective email: keep it simple. Tell them you just found out about this election disinformation monitoring system, ask if they know about it (some county clerks may not have been told yet), and tell them it should not be implemented and needs to stop immediately.

This Week – Former Communist Activist Exposes the Left
We are pleased to welcome back a former communist activist. Farehlee Nilsson joined us a couple months ago to give us an introductory glimpse behind the communist curtain. And to talk about what conservative Oregonians needs to do to win, based on her years of experience and training as an activist.
Farehlee started out as a member of the ecoterrorist group, Earth First, which led to careers at the Norwegian Development Fund, Amnesty International, and World Wildlife Fund before ending up as a lobbyist for Greenpeace. But she had a spiritual awakening and now she’s a conservative Christian working to unite the right. And to use the tactics she learned to help defeat the Left. We take a deeper look behind the curtain, including asking her about something we all hear on social media: have organizations on the right been infiltrated? Or is it just overblown hyperbole?
Vaccine Injuries, Justice for Victims of Covid Mandates
One of the most successful things socialists and Marxists do is sue. They sue the government to force new regulations or enforce old ones. They sue companies. As a former communist activist, Farehlee knows it’s time to use that same tactic against big government. And to hold it accountable.
Politicare is what inevitably happens when you give the government control over health care: Woman denied cancer treatments at OHSU because she doesn’t bow to their woke transgender politics
There is no doubt our healthcare system was misused by our government under covid. She is now seeking justice for those harmed by our government’s mandates. People who suffered vaccine injuries. Those who lost jobs for refusing to take the covid vaccines. People who lost loved ones when they were hospitalized and killed after being forced on remdesivir.
If you or someone you know were injured by the vaccines, or lost a job because of mandates, or lost someone due to medical malfeasance or remdesivir, then you need to contact Farehlee.
We will be having Farehlee Nilsson back on later this summer. If you have questions you’d like to ask a former communist—drop us a line! See our contact page.
