Capitalism has taken center stage this week as there have been a lot of discussions surrounding the stock market. Private investors from a Reddit group made headlines as they attacked Wall Street hedge funds. Hedge funds lost billions and they did not like it.
They started complaining to the mainstream media and it prompted some trading platforms to halt trading. The biggest violator was Robinhood, which forced some users to sell their holdings and blocked nearly all trades. It's a direct attack on private investors by millionaires and billionaires. Capitalism should be allowed to work in this instance.
Sen. Ted Cruz and AOC both agreed. They both want investigations into the situation. Elon Musk also has a tweet that attacked the movement. What happened against these investors is wrong as the elites continue to try to keep private traders down.
Joe Biden experienced some criticism about his Executive Orders. No, it wasn't from the conservative outlets. That wouldn't be discussion worthy. It was from the NY Times. The NY Times argues that Biden should start working with Congress.
The White House commented back that the paper was not making sense. Jared explains the reasoning behind both approaches. This is not about agenda or Executive order, but about politics.
A major report came out of New York that said nursing home deaths were underreported by nearly 50%. This comes as Cuomo celebrated his leadership, but the evidence continues to show that he is not an effective leader. In fact, he is a failed leader.
Jared questions why the Left is not asking for Cuomo to be charged in the deaths of those in long-term care. They said Trump should be charged and convicted for everything about the virus. Cuomo is directly responsible for the negligence and deaths here. Should he face charges?

Joe Biden and his administration made headlines recently when they claimed that the Trump administration left them no plans for the coronavirus and the distribution of the vaccine. They claimed the Trump administration was simply getting by and that they must essentially start over. Except that was not entirely the truth.
Dr. Fauci even admitted that they were not starting over. He said that there was distribution taking place, but that they were tweaking it. By tweaking it he meant that they were abolishing Operation Warp Speed and the distribution of the vaccine entirely.
Trump officials cite dozens of meetings, pages of plans and documents, and the official handoff of all the work they had done regarding the pandemic and the vaccine. It appears that the one that is really without the plan is Joe Biden, as he simply follows what Trump did for him.
Mitch McConnell reportedly dropped his bid to save the filibuster as well. Some on the left celebrated this as a win, but McConnell is banking on his negotiations. He has two Democrats that have agreed not to vote to abolish the filibuster and has another trick up his sleeve. Jared explains the details and how he still does not trust the Democrats.
Twitter also released a new function this week called Birdwatch. The feature allows users to fact check each other as if the labels that Twitter placed on conservative material was not enough. The issue now is that there is no clear guidance on how the program will work. Will it build up against people with enough complaints and cause them to get booted from the platform? Either way, it's a dangerous move by Twitter that is sure to backfire.

On Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul appeared on the ABC Show This Week, with George Stephanopoulos. George tried to get Sen. Paul to admit that there was no election fraud and that we should simply move on as a country. Rand Paul wouldn't give in. Instead, Rand Paul gave some great responses.
Jared takes a look at several clips of the interview which show several key points. One is that George Stephanopoulos is anything but a journalist. He is a left-wing agenda-pushing host. Jared explains this is fine, but he should admit it openly. In the end, Stephanopoulos ends up admitting that election fraud actually did occur.
Then there seem to be a lot of moderates that are beginning to have some buyers remorse from Joe Biden. After killing thousands of jobs and billions in revenue, Biden is starting to alienate those key moderates already. Those who were frustrated with Trump and thought Biden would be a "moderate" change. Instead, they are seeing the progressive Joe Biden at work killing jobs and our economy.
Finally, Jared discusses the comedy career of Sen. Mitt Romney as he suggests three potential leaders for the GOP. One is fresh on Jared's mind as he recently said this person would be trying to run for office in 2024. The other two are laughable, as they are anything but conservative.

President Trump left the White House in what the mainstream media tried to say was a "lonely trip." Apparently, they forgot the over 70 million people that voted for Trump and many still support him. This leads to great interest in a statement that he made in his departing speech that he would be back in some way.
Some have indicated that Trump may run again in 2024, others have said he may start a news station. Jared takes a closer look at both of those scenarios, then explains what he truly believes President Trump is going to do.
This may be the first time in decades that a 3rd party has a chance to win an election in the US. Jared describes how this could come about and how it could be competitive. President Trump knows this and is financially secure enough to launch the bid. Who would potentially join the party?
Joe Biden's first few days show anything but unity as he described. He has destroyed American jobs, removed American freedom, and instilled new regulations and oversight. This is far from the unity that he claimed, but it isn't surprising. Especially as Biden has a bust of a well known socialist in his Oval Office that promoted discrimination against illegal immigrants. Biden is not the moderate he claimed and is moving us to a radical agenda.
Jared explains how this works perfectly to Trump's benefit if he were to start a third party. Everyone will learn that Biden is radical, it's just where do they run to be saved once they do.

The memory of President Trump is something that our country will be debating for quite some time. To the Left, he will always be the worst President ever. To many on the Right, he is their new hero and a true warrior for freedom. For others on the Right, they are simply ready to move on.
If you move beyond the partisan rhetoric, you can take a closer look at some of President Trump's accomplishments and failures of his four years in the White House.
Trump passed many key pieces of legislation that helped law enforcement, the military, veterans, national parks, and then his major tax bill. He delivered on promises to help America's businesses, promoting small businesses, women-owned businesses, and more. He stood up for American business against China, fighting for fair trade.
As much as he accomplished, he also left a lot on the table. He never passed the Obamacare replacement he promised in his campaign. He never fully built the wall that he promoted through the campaign and his term. While he did build some of it, it was not quite the wall he wanted. Jared explains more about Trump and his legacy.
Joe Biden has promised sweeping immigration legislation that will be sent to Congress on day one of his administration. The new law would provide citizenship and a path to citizenship for approximately 11 million illegal immigrants. Jared shares the concerns with this legislation and how it may change things looking forward.

The next few weeks will be filled with multiple news stories about Joe Biden and the progressive agenda that he will be pushing with legislation and executive orders. Before that begins, Jared decides to take a deeper look at recent statements by AOC.
In a recent Instagram rant, AOC took on southern red states and said that they need to be liberated. She said that some Senators should resign as they do not belong in Congress. She railed against Trump's Cabinet and said that all Trump supporters are either with the people or with the mob.
Jared shares that the rhetoric she is sharing is dangerous. It continues to promote a divisive message against conservatives. She said that conservatives were lying and spreading disinformation, as she also claimed that President Trump gave an order for people to storm the Capitol. Trump did not do such a thing, but there are no outlets fact-checking or labels on AOC's statements.
She went on to talk about law enforcement and how those Capitol police officers were brave, but then she calls many of them hypocrites and accuses them of aiding the mob. She has often claimed police are systemic racists and white supremacists. Yet, she had no complaints when they protected her as she said she feared for her life. Jared shares that the message she is sharing is elitist and an insult to law enforcement around the country.
Jared then talks about recent statements AOC made to control the media and 'deradicalize' conservatives. She said that the government should control misinformation, like the misinformation that AOC is spreading. She said that federal funds should be dedicated to the oversight of Trump supporters and an attempt to reprogram them for society. In other words, she wants to silence opposing viewpoints right after she has claimed to value them.
The agenda that AOC and the left are pushing for is dangerous and it's an agenda that they will continue to push Joe Biden to pursue. He has surrounded himself with these radicals and the country is left in the hands of moderates, like Joe Manchin, to save us from utter destruction.

Democrats impeached President Trump for the second time in just over one year on Wednesday. They issued one charge, which was inciting insurrection against the US Government. They completely ignore the statements of Trump, which many Democrats and others have used in the past.
The Left continues to push an agenda against Trump supporters, labeling them all as supporters of the KKK, White supremacists, and supporters of the Capitol violence. The violence at the Capitol was disgusting and is never the answer. Yet, the left is using it as a means to attack conservatives. It's all part of their blueprint for unity.
Except the blueprint for unity does nothing to unite Americans. It's as divisive as ever. What else would we expect from the Left who is on a mission to eliminate conservatives from society. Even Jack Dorsey was caught on tape explaining how they were targeting conservatives in a big operation at Twitter.
While Joe Biden releases his coronavirus relief plan, it continues to show that he is not concerned with unity. He is more concerned about sneaking in socialist plans, like $15 minimum wage.
In the end, it's not all doom and gloom. Jared shares how there is good out there, we just have to look for it in the right perspective.

Republicans seem to have a struggle learning lessons. For four years, President Trump has taught them how the party can change its identity and move forward. Rather than learning, they put up a resistance.
Some have suggested the only way forward is through a new party or through a new leader. The way forward is through Republicans learning a lesson. That lesson is that establishment Republicans are not the desire of Americans anymore. They also need to realize that their practice of silencing young people will simply not work.
President Trump grabbed onto these movements, including them and allowing them to have a voice. Republicans have rejected it, calling them extremists. These are not the extremists that rioted at the Capitol. These are the young Americans that are conservative and are fighting for conservative values and freedom. There is a big difference.
Instead, establishment Republicans like McConnell and McCarthy are stuck focusing on themselves. They are more focused on maintaining the status quo of the party, rather than transforming it into something that can be sustainable for the future. If they do not change their ways, the Republican party may be lost.
Mike Pompeo also shared some interesting remarks at a recent event in DC. He shared that the Iran nuclear deal, signed by President Obama, allowed Al Qaeda to move its operations base from Afghanistan into Iran. The terrorist organization found refuge in the main state sponsor of terrorism, and that's a problem.
Obama gave them billions of dollars to establish their terrorist network. Now, Joe Biden wants to re-enter that same agreement. There is little the US can do in monitoring them, we are simply waiting for their next act. It's a major issue that we can only thank Barack Obama for.

Twitter and Facebook took the unprecedented move to ban the President of the United States from their platforms over the past few days. While we knew it was probably coming, many did not expect it until he left office. The President now has no platform to talk to his followers which has created some other issues.
Many of them flocked to the social media app Parler. Google and Apple both took the step of banning the platform over the weekend. The Parler CEO says Google did not provide them any advanced warning of the action. Apple requested a moderation plan, but the plan that Parler provided was not accepted and the app was banned.
Many were still using the site through web access until Amazon took the step on Saturday to say that they would remove the website from its Amazon Web Services platform. Now, the company is looking into legal action against these Big Tech platforms.
While Jared says that he clearly supports Section 230 and is against violence, the actions by these big tech companies is creating a bigger issue. They are fueling a backlash against Trump supporters, many of who never attended the events at the Capitol, or if they did, did not participate in the violence. Just as Black Lives Matter and Antifa were allowed to say their viewpoints, so should these conservatives.
Then Jared talks about the new move to impeach President Trump. The House is expected to have articles of impeachment introduced on Monday and voted on by Tuesday or Wednesday. The measure is expected to pass the House with a few Republicans supporting the measure. The key comes down to conviction in the Senate.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says that the Senate could not take up the trial until after Biden was in office. Jared shares that does not deter the Democrat's agenda. The goal was not to remove him from office. The Constitution allows for two punishments, one is to remove from office while the other is to prevent from ever holding office again. That's the goal of the Democrats.
Several Republicans look vulnerable to supporting the measure. Many are familiar names, but some are new. Jared talks about those that may choose to support impeachment this time around and how it could impact 2024. Can the Democrats get enough support to convict Trump? The answer is not as clear as it may seem.

The events over the last few days are really interesting. We all knew Wednesday would be historic, but not for the reasons that it will go down in history. Jared shares that Mike Pence did exactly what he expected him to do. Mike Pence does not view this as a slam against President Trump. He views this as saving his name and his reputation.
People entering the Capitol like this is a rare occurrence, but it has happened many times. The media blames President Trump, but he did several things to help on the day. Now, Democrats are calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. They are calling for another possible impeachment. Cabinet members are resigning as well. All of them placing the blame on President Trump. The media again fails to tell the full story about what is happening.
Nothing stands in the way of Joe Biden now, he will be President on January 20th, and there are a lot of accusations of what he is expected to do. Jared shares an interesting perspective, however. Expect Democrats to target wins that will help them appear moderate and unifying. They are not simply desiring to move us to socialism, although that is the ultimate goal. They are playing a long-game and working towards full control.
How do we all move forward? It's clear Republicans cannot move forward without Trump supporters. Third parties have been largely unsuccessful in recent times. Is there a mending of the relationship between Republicans and Trump supporters? The Republicans are the ones that have sewn the division.
