PAY CLOSE ATTENTION: Poisonous Left Wing Podcaster Jennifer Welch Reveals What Democrats Will Do When Back in Power (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Left wing podcaster Jennifer Welch recently spoke with former CNN hack Jim Acosta and provided a preview of what Democrats will do if and when they retake power.

Welch has not given up on the far left dream of prosecuting and jailing President Trump. She thinks the same should happen to Elon Musk and various other people in their orbit.

She is predicting a vicious future, in which Democrats get Trump and others to ‘admit their crimes’ and pay a price for them so that the country can ‘reconcile.’

She’s completely insane, but so is a large portion of the Democrat party, so pay close attention to what she is suggesting here.

BizPacReview has more details:

Ex-CNN host Jim Acosta and influential Democrat podcaster Jennifer Welch agree that the left needs to take revenge on President Donald Trump.

Lacking the awareness to realize targeted lawfare of political opponents is what got Trump elected in the first place, Acosta agreed when Welch suggested that Democrats need to pull everyone surrounding Trump before Congress for “accountability.” The entire clip exposes exactly how far some leftists are willing to go to punish Republicans.

“The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, ‘Big Balls’ and a bunch of other people’s ass in front and say ‘What crimes did you commit?’” Welch said. “And it’s gonna get really serious. And the same with Trump because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him, and Elon Musk and all of the bottom-feeding clinger-on-ers surrounding him, I think they commit crimes every day. And I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hard-core, not integrity Democrats, ‘F**k you’ Democrats, f**k you for f**king over our country, we’re serious about this, we’re prosecuting, we’re going to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did, we will be relentless about it. That’s the mindset they’ve got to have because I think the electorate is going from we’ve got to get him out, but also we want accountability.”

Be sure to watch the full video to hear Jim Acosta laughably claim that he is not a Democrat. Also, just a heads up, there’s plenty of cursing in this:

These people are zealots, but the Democrats listen to them. Do not be surprised if you start to hear elected Dems echoing the insane things Welch is saying in that video.

Texas Reports Over $1 Billion in Hospital Costs Related to Illegal Aliens for 2025 Fiscal Year

Texas Reports Over $1 Billion in Hospital Costs Related to Illegal Aliens for 2025 Fiscal Year
January 17, 2026

Illegal aliens have cost states a lot of money.

It is evident from what the state of Texas has reported in regard to hospital-related costs.

Hospitals in Texas have accrued over $1 billion in healthcare costs for illegal aliens for fiscal year 2025. This was the first year that Texas tracked the statistics.

The information was gathered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Texas Scorecard had access to the data, which revealed that hospitals recorded over 300,000 visits that were related to illegal aliens. Total costs were about $1.05 billion at the end of fiscal year 2025.

Their state’s fiscal year goes from September 1st to August 31st. The hospitals started reporting later, in November, which means the costs are potentially higher.

Fox News Reported:

Texas hospitals accumulated more than $1 billion in healthcare costs for illegal immigrants during fiscal year 2025, the first year the state began tracking the figures.

The data, compiled by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and obtained by Texas Scorecard, shows hospitals logged 313,742 visits linked to individuals not legally present, with total costs reaching $1.05 billion by the end of the fiscal year.

Texas’ fiscal year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, but hospitals were only required to begin reporting in November. Based on the reported data, costs averaged about $105 million per month, meaning the true annual total could be significantly higher.

“To put the figures into perspective, the reported hospital costs approach about 1% of the state’s tax-funded resources.” Fox News Reported.

The information was obtained as a result of Governor Greg Abbott signing an executive order back in 2024, requiring the agency to track illegals who were accessing public hospitals in Texas.

During the open border under the Biden regime, Texas had a record number of illegal crossings. As a result, it put a strain on their healthcare system.

A flashback to 2023 as a reminder of just how bad it was.

Netanyahu Blasts Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan, Claims Composition of Gaza Executive Board “Runs Contrary” to Israeli Policy – Israel National Security Minister Calls for “Return to War with Enormous Force”

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House Feb. 5, 2025

Israel may be displeased with President Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surprisingly come out claiming that  the President’s Gaza Executive Board was “not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced that the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by himself, has been formed as the Trump Administration enters Phase Two of the  20-point Gaza Peace Plan announced last September.

JUST IN: President Trump Announces Board of Peace for Gaza is Officially Formed

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan, World Bank Group President Ajay Banga, and Trump adviser Robert Gabriel were announced as members of the "founding Executive Board" on Friday.

Additionally, the White House announced that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and senior Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi would serve on the Gaza Executive Board to support the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and "support effective governance and the delivery of best-in-class services that advance peace, stability, and prosperity for the people of Gaza," sparking rebuke from Netanyahu and warmongering Israeli officials.

Per the New York Post:

President Trump’s Gaza governance plan sparked backlash in Israel as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the makeup of the body, which includes Turkey and Qatar, contradicts Israeli policy — even as reports from said the lineup had, in fact, been approved.

Netanyahu’s office issued a statement on Saturday saying that the premier instructed his top diplomat to raise the government’s concerns with the Trump administration on the newly created “Board of Peace” set to run the Gaza Strip, according to Ynet.

“The announcement by the US administration regarding the composition of the Gaza Executive Board was not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy,” Netanyahu’s office said in the statement, adding that the prime minister had ordered Sa’ar to raise Israel’s objections directly with Rubio.

The dispute centers on the inclusion of senior reps from Turkey and Qatar — two countries Israel accuses of backing Hamas.

However, reports claim that Netanyahu was only posturing "for appearances" as Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir calls for a "return to war with enormous force," and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claims that the body is made up of "states that breathed life into Hamas."

“The Gaza Strip does not need any ‘executive board’ to oversee its ‘rehabilitation’ — it needs to be cleared of Hamas terrorists, who must be eliminated, alongside the encouragement of large-scale voluntary emigration — in accordance with President Trump’s original plan,” Ben Gvir said.

"Additional Executive Board and Gaza Executive Board members will be announced over the coming weeks," a statement from the White Hosue reads.

January 17, 2026

California Gubernatorial Candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell on Saturday intensified his attacks on ICE agents, calling them “assholes,” and vowing to have them arrested during a campaign stop in Los Angeles. 

During a summit hosted by the far-Left Empowerment Congress in Los Angeles, Swalwell told the crowd, “They’re going to lose their immunity. They’re not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver’s license.”

“Good luck walking to work, assholes,” he added before framing ICE as kidnappers and murderers.

“Also, I will direct law enforcement to use every power to prosecute them for battery, false imprisonment, and murder.”

Swalwell: They’re going to lose their immunity. They’re not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver’s license. Good luck walking to work, assholes. Also, I will direct law enforcement to use every power to prosecute them for battery, false imprisonment, and murder. You know me. I’m not shy. Over the last 10 years, I worked on the Russia investigation with Adam Schiff. I helped lead the second impeachment as a manager.

I’ve got the only lawsuit that has survived this new presidency. It’s me and the January 6 officers. I’m not naive about who he is. There’s only one side of the ball to be on on behalf of Californians when it comes to ICE, and its offense.

Swalwell also recently called ICE agents “masked thugs” and accused them of throwing people into vans and dragging them by their hair through the streets:

In another recent interview, Swalwell called ICE “terrorizing bandits that women are afraid of” while promoting his “reveal to wheel” policy.

Swalwell has repeatedly said he will illegally revoke driver’s licenses from ICE agents to impede federal law enforcement operations.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Swalwell threatened ICE in an interview earlier this month, stating, “If you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

He further threatened prosecution for brave law enforcement who are just doing their job and deporting illegal aliens, but facing physical violence from the crazed leftists whom Swalwell is encouraging to riot.

If the Department of Justice were serious, Swalwell's lawless policy proposals would land him in jail, but at the current rate, he may succeed if elected governor.

Still, Swalwell faces potential criminal charges for mortgage fraud and ineligibility for California Governor after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice for listing his Washington, DC, address as his primary residence

Newsmax Tom Basile With Matt Taibbi on ICE Deportations, Viewers Mistrust of Legacy Media – “A Lot of News Agencies are Really Reflexively Considered Anti-Trump” (VIDEO)
January 17, 2026

Two news anchors discussing current events, with a city skyline visible in the background and a well-decorated studio setting.

Newsmax America Right Now host Tom Basile spoke to Matt Taibbi of Racket News on Saturday about viewers’ distrust of the legacy media.

The main topic of discussion was about how the media handles stories surrounding ICE. Basile showed a 2016 clip of a CNN journalist going on a ride-along with ICE. At that time, ICE was not being persecuted like they are now. He compared it to how the media is handling ICE coverage now.

“We are joined by the editor-in-chief of Racket News, Matt Taibbi,” Basile said.

“Back in May of 2016, during the Obama administration, CNN got an exclusive ride-along with ICE,” Basile said.

A clip from that ride-along was shown with what would be considered positive and fair reporting on ICE at the time.

“The piece, Matt, was overwhelmingly positive. Ten years later, this is how the media feels about ICE,” Basile said.

A few recent clips were shown by a few media outlets, unfairly portraying ICE without any objective reporting.

“Matt, what’s changed?” Basile asked.

“This is very strange to me. I mean, I wrote a book, it significantly covered the immigration question back in the Obama years, and so many of the practices that are now I hear being described as unprecedented are things that we knew were common 10 or 15 years ago,” Taibbi explained.

“There were record numbers of people being deported at a time when it was popular, and now it isn’t. And I think, you know, the main difference is that Donald Trump is President,” Taibbi continued.

“Is it as simple as the press just wanting to support the open border policy of the far left? Or is it about at this point now, ten years later, you stoke division for ratings and for clicks and to placate the algorithm? What are your thoughts?” Basile asked.

Taibbi explained that much of the media’s reaction is opposition to President Trump, even if they supported a similar policy under a previous administration.

“It’s a combination of a lot of things. A lot of news agencies are really reflexively considered anti-Trump, and so any policy that he is going to undertake is going to get criticism, whether or not they previously supported that policy or not,” Taibbi explained.
