So Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound.
We'll all be inside.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
Just to be clear, Biden should not have run again.
And to be even more clear, he failed this country in the most important job that he had.
Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?
Casey, we're looking forward.
We are stuck with a madman with a corrupt president in the Oval Office, and we should have given our ourselves a better chance to win.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your centi.
Don't play our guitar and send you a conscious song.
Sean Hannity Show.
More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, So I started my radio career in 1987 and full-time in 1990, my first professional gig.
And so I've been on the air, what, 36, 7 years, whatever, whatever the number is.
It's it's up there.
29 years, thankfully, on Fox News, thanks to all of you.
I don't succeed unless you listen and watch, and I'm very grateful.
Uh we now are on nearly 770 stations around the country, and uh we're we're extraordinarily grateful.
Um, and in all the years that I have been covering politics, there is one well, there's actually two issues that that are constantly lied about and demagogued by the left, and it's a tactic that needs to end because they are often manipulating people that are in the most dire need of certain government services.
And for example, when New Gingrich was speaker, uh they worked on a deal to balance the budget.
It was the last time we ever balanced the budget.
They balanced it four straight years, and the deal came out to be an increase in Medicare spending, seven percent a year, every year for seven years, twice the rate of inflation at the time.
And it was called by Democrats and demagogued by Democrats as a cut.
It was not a cut.
It was a seven percent increase every single year.
That they do the same thing with Social Security, and they try to scare seniors.
Anyway, uh joining us now uh to talk about it.
He's in his new role as the 17th administrator of the centers for Medicare, Medicaid Services, and what he intends to do is remedy all of the broken, you know, bureaucracy that exist in in these branches of government and bring better medicine to every American in the country.
And we welcome back to the program, our friend Dr. Oz, sir.
How are you?
Sean God bless you.
Everything you said was a hundred percent right, and I'm particularly sensitive to the accusations made by the Democrats.
And just to reinforce what you said, in every single uh scenario that we have looked at, we are spending more money on Medicaid, not less, more money on Medicaid.
But the atrocious way that we have been throwing money at problems without getting benefits, and oftentimes just throwing it at fraudulent efforts, uh, it's stunning to me.
And but you should be aware, to the listeners as well, these sometimes are foreign government supported endeavors.
But when we've got people uh on Medicaid in multiple states and we're paying full t bills for these folks, it costs us a lot of money.
When people have dual insurance on Medicaid and in the exchanges, for example, and no one's telling the federal governments uh we're we're paying those bills, it's up to 14 billion dollars a year total, just in that little area.
And why is no one telling us?
Because, well, if you're not paying for something, you don't keep track of it.
And I should point out I've got the big guns with me.
Amy Gleason's joining me.
She's from the U.S. Doge service, because so much of this I want to applaud Doge for.
It's uh not just about cutting stuff, they've been building stuff, building alliances, making folks uh work like normal businesses do, so they're actually collaborating, not interfering with each other.
And that's one of the reasons I'm so optimistic of our ability to make a difference in the health care budget.
But the president said it, we're gonna do it.
He said we're gonna love and cherish these programs, is exactly what we're gonna do.
All right, I well look let's bring in your doge partner because uh by the way, I'm a big fan of Doge.
I'm a big fan of Elon's.
I know Elon, you know, is has had to get back into the many businesses he runs, but he did save astronauts.
He is working on a way to help the blind see and those with spinal cord injuries walk.
He created the best car ever invented and engineered, and I know because I own one, and uh I gave one away on this program as a contest.
Uh on top of that, he has found hundreds of billions of dollars in waste fraud abuse and corruption.
Uh, how is Doge involved in this?
Yeah, so as you know, US Dose Service is about a lot of different things, but one of the main things we're working on right now is also modernizing systems and bringing modern technology to the government.
So on this effort, we're partnering with CMS to create a modern digital ecosystem.
So in every other part of your life, banking, shopping, travel, we have these seamless personalized services, but in healthcare, patients are still faxing records and logging into it, dozens of portals, and in most cases it feels like nineteen ninety-nine instead of the current time.
And so we really want to change that.
Imagine logging in with your fingerprint or your face like you do on your phone and having your full medical history at your fingertips with an AI assistant that can really help you in a personal way manage your chronic conditions like diabetes or arthritis.
I know for many years, I'll say this to both of you and you can both weigh in here.
I've I've been interviewing uh a guy that runs Atlas MD, and he created a system which is concierge care, fifty dollars a month.
It's out of Wichita, Kansas.
Uh, Dr. Josh Umber is his name, uh fifty dollars per adult, unlimited medical attention, twenty-four-seven, telemedicine's a part of it.
You can see a doctor every day of the week if you want to, ten bucks a month for kids.
He would negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies, you'd get them at ninety-five uh ninety-five percent discount and walk out with the medicines after your exam.
Uh, and telemedicine certainly I think is a big part of the future.
But it showed that everybody, if they would couple that Dr. Oz with catastrophic care, that they could have concierge medical care.
I have concierge medical care because I have friends like you that I can call any hour of the day or night and and you would pick up the phone and help me.
Well, do you you might ask why does everyone have that?
There are probably a hundred and fifty people who control most of medicine, and they run the big endeavors, and it is not in their best interest for this to exist.
And so it sort of falls to the wayside.
One thing I've learned at uh centers for Medicare and Medicaid is you know, we're moving close to two trillion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money in these different ways that we're trying to take care of folks.
Um, and it is uh unbelievable what a big target we have on our back for fraud stories, but it's also remarkably easy to to get programs into us that take advantage of systems, and the small guys have a difficult time penetrating.
It's a large incumbents tend to dominate.
So, you know, Amy, for example, which talks about this digital transformation, it makes it transparent.
The president has had numerous executive orders around this issue, around uh pricing of drugs, around making sure that's interoperability, which means the different hospitals have to share their records with each other around no surprises.
So we can actually go to the hospital, you know what's going to cost you.
So Amy, when you I'll just pass it to you because this stuff is hard to do, but when you got the best engineers in the in the world, the biggest companies, the top AI groups, they're all saying we're gonna be meet, we're gonna put our swords away, and we're gonna work together because we trust this administration.
Yeah, so we're uh Amy, go ahead.
I want to give you a background, by the way.
You're an American healthcare technology executive and government official currently serving as the acting administrator for the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency for Doge, uh, which is pretty impressive.
So what we're really talking about here is the work that Dr. Raz is doing coupled with his years of experience as a heart surgeon in the hospital system and modernizing the system and making it more efficient and saving money at the same time and making people healthier.
Yes, I think we have this amazing opportunity with Dr. Oz's leadership to fundamentally change the way the health care system works.
So this is also deeply personal for me.
My daughter has a rare disease and she sees 12 doctors across six health systems and four different states.
She takes twenty-one pills a day and has to handwrite those medications on a paper form every time she goes to see the doctor.
And so we really need to change this system to where, you know, she uses all these technical tools like everyone else.
Spotify can make a recommendation to her.
That's exactly what she wants to listen to in the moment, because it knows her patterns and what she's listened to.
And so we need to kind of have that same thing where there are modern tools in your day-to-day life that are personalized, have your medical history, and can then give you recommendations to stand up and take some extra steps when it's the appropriate time or to rest when it's others, and to help you figure out the best diet for you and when you should go to the doctor and do that.
So we're really trying to ask all parts of healthcare to join in this effort so that we can make real changes this year and then continue to build on that over time.
The modern technology exists, we just need to bring it to bear in health care.
Dr. Oz, let me go back to specifically what you're working on, and you're dealing with both Medicare and Medicaid, and we're talking about now we're we're dealing with states and the federal government and the involvement in health care.
Uh you can talk about the the work requirement.
Um, the amount of money that is being paid out, for example, Medicaid payment should never be more than what seniors get on Medicare, uh, the modernization of Medicare and Medicaid uh using information technology like Amy's talking about here.
Well, why don't you give the big overall vision for it?
We want the American people to understand this is a two-way street.
To be patriotic, a true patriot, you have to take care of yourself.
Because you even when I dive into these issues of Medicaid, which uh uh which were which was critical to the uh reconciliation bill getting passed this morning, you'll understand that the path to solvency in our health care system is to make people healthier.
There is no better way to reduce health care costs.
70% of the money that we spend is driven by chronic illnesses, the times that you and I talk about all the time off air, because it makes us feel better, because it's a pretty good deal to feel better while you're actually saving money for yourself and the rest of the country.
So let's get into nitty-gritty of this.
Essentially, what we're this report is sharing is that we have uh gotten, we've made it very hard to be healthy in America, especially for the kids who are the ki the canaries in the coal mine.
And we cannot afford this.
Uh morally, we can't afford it financially.
Our health economy is growing at around two to three percent faster than the general economy.
It's already twice as expensive to get health care in America than any other country in the world.
Every governor I visit says that what's strangling their state budget is the health care uh bill is going out so fast they can't keep up, so it's crowding on education and other services.
So what we went to Congress with, um, and they were great working with these ideas, uh, and I want to applaud their leadership, and the president was uh unwavering in this.
He says we're gonna protect Medicaid for uh and Medicare for the people it was designed for, the people who are vulnerable, the young, the old, the folks who are disabled.
Uh and if you're a working age, able-bodied person, then you should try to get a job.
Now, if you can't get a job, or if you don't if you can't get educated, uh, go to school, if you can't volunteer, if you can't take care of someone else in your family, then we're gonna ask you to step off the rolls because if someone was living in your basement and getting free health care and they didn't participate at all, at some point you'd say, guys, enough.
Come on, you gotta help yourself a little bit.
That's the bigger story here.
That's why the work requirement is so strongly favored by 80% of Americans.
And Sean, this is amazing to me.
Democratic voters support this, but the Democratic Party will not.
I'm stunned by this.
They continue to vilify what I think is a very noble effort by the president to make a seismic shift that's long overdue.
Uh and the reason you might say is why wasn't there work requirement?
Well, there was no need for one.
When Medicaid and Medicare were created in 1965, it never crossed anybody's mind that you wouldn't be encouraged or made to work before you would take the public handout.
No one would have thought of doing that.
But now, for a variety of reasons, that's become a bit of the norm, and it's extraordinarily expensive.
Which is your second point.
Medicare and Medicaid, if they're going to get paid differently, it shouldn't be very minimally.
That's not what's happening now.
Medicaid patients and people who have not contributed their whole life and paid into the system like Medicare patients have.
Medicaid recipients, which again, there it's it's an obligation we have as a great society to take care of our people.
All great societies do that.
That's fine.
But if you're on Medicaid, you should not be paying more than Medicare pays for a doctor's service or for a hospital for medication.
It doesn't make any sense to expect that.
Yet that has become the norm around the country.
We're gonna course correct a lot of these issues.
The first step was his reconciliation bill.
But the real money saving, the big we're gonna do all this, but one when we're done all that, the most important thing you'll hear about it a lot for the next year is what Amy is talking about, which is to digitally transform health care, so it resembles more what the rest of your life looks like.
Yeah.
All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back, we'll continue more with Dr. Oz, who is uh joining us.
He is now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and he's working with Amy Gleason, who is with Doge.
We'll get to your calls also coming up, and Brian Mast and Jimmy Phaelow and much more as we continue.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Mayfox.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco.
Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue now with Dr. Oz, who is now the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
How do we get a better bang for our buck?
And how do we get better health services for the American people?
Uh that's all part of a huge effort that is underway with this entire Maha effort.
Uh Amy Gleason also works with Doge and is well versed in how to offer better care at lower prices for the American people to save money.
We spend more per capita than any other industrialized country with the worst medical results, and we certainly have plenty of room for improvement.
We we've got to innovate.
I mean, we pay more for health care in this country, especially for people in their older years, uh older years rather, than any other industrialized country, Amy, and and we have some of the worst results.
And this is what I think the Maha movement is going to be most successful at.
Uh and I I think we've got to have a a top to bottom check on everything.
Uh so I'm pretty optimistic that between what you're doing and what Dr. Oz is doing and what uh Bobby Kennedy is doing, I I I feel confident we're gonna get there, and I hope people will embrace these changes.
Yes, I think we can show some real progress and and start to build momentum.
For example, we're building a national provider directory that can kind of serve like Google maps for healthcare right now, just even the simplest thing of finding the right doctor that meets the needs of your situation is very difficult, and that makes it hard for innovation in the private sector to also get unlocked.
It also makes it hard for people to even pick the right insurance plan for Medicare plan when they come into Medicare or even in your commercial plans.
And so by starting to do these kind of things, we can really start to move the needle of technology and health care.
Amy Gleason, we also will pray for your daughter and wish her all the best.
Uh, Dr. Oz, thank you as always.
Thanks for what you're doing.
We appreciate both of you.
We will continue to update this audience about all the progress that you're making, and uh, we appreciate your time today.
God bless you.
Thank you.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean.

Um, you got to admit this week was kind of like Senate beatdown week.
First it was Marco Rubio uh with uh Senator Van Holland, and when Van Howland's well, I I regret ever voting for you, and he goes, Oh, that's good.
That means I'm doing my job.
And then he went after him.
You know, not that the guy you're having Margaritas with, meaning talking about uh the this Brago Garcia guy.
And then we had uh Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just do a total total beat down.
What was it, Senator Patty Murphy?
Um we played that yesterday.
You know, what have you ever done in the in the 30 years you've been in this body to help improve people's health?
And the answer is nothing.
And then we had Lee Zeldon sparring with the congenital Liar Adam Schiff at the EPA hearing uh yesterday, and here's how that went down.
What is it about this grant that you and EPA believe is problematic enough to freeze this funding and put potentially 31,000 children at risk?
Senator Whitcha, who's the grant applicant?
This is to the city of Santa Anna.
And are you the biggest go through every single uh list of the grant?
Well by the way, with with that wind up, by the way, I I understand that you were an aspiring fiction writer.
I see why.
Oh, yeah.
Uh uh well I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water, their air.
That to me is a big fiction, uh, Mr. Zeldon.
It wasn't a good comeback.
It really wasn't.
He tried hard though.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh let us get to our busy phones.
Jackie in the United uh socialist utopia known as California.
Uh how are you, Jackie?
Glad you called.
Hi, Thorne.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm glad you called.
Yeah, I I'm so glad.
So I uh my blood started boiling yesterday.
I'm gonna run through it quickly so you have time for other callers too.
I'm a South African, sixth generation Africa.
My parents have still got their farms in South Africa.
Remember Posa sat in that White House yesterday and begged for money.
Did you not think that President Trump was going to ask him about the brutal farms attacks, the torture, the mutilation, and the rape, the victims that always include the elderly, the children and the farm workers.
It is so sad.
The level of brutality that that that cannot be political or morally be justified, the matter of the historical content.
There's no What they're well, what the president did yesterday with the with the with his counterpart, the president of South Africa was masterful because he had pictures and names and he kept saying, see this one?
Dead.
See this one?
Dead.
This farmer, dead.
And then he he showed images and a video of of the graves of of many people that were killed.
And what you have is a genocide that is taking place, and you're right.
And and they came there wanting money and not expecting to be challenged.
Uh, but they went to the they went to the wrong world leader uh if they thought they were going to get a free ride.
Yeah.
This man was caught with 80 million rand, South African Rand stashed in a house that he has.
His explanation was that he sold wildlife by flow.
And people don't talk about it.
How corrupt.
This is only brought to people's attention.
Nothing was done about it because somebody robbed him.
And that money they went into his house in South Africa and robbed him.
On a personal side, my family had and this is I d you know, there's so many stories I've been out of, I live in California, but there's so many stories that I listened to that my family called that they told me every single day.
They personally were attacked.
Everybody that I speak to.
And so like I said, I'm personally got eight dogs.
These dogs that they have on the farm was freezing before a brutal attack.
That's what they just trying to say, and could they tried to compare this to eminent domain?
And that's not what it is.
They're just confiscating people's property, and if people don't cooperate, even if they do cooperate, they're murdering them.
And it's institutionalized and it's gotta stop.
Uh in terms of the actual number, I I I've seen different numbers, but it's it is happening on a on a pretty widespread basis.
Right.
There's no infrastructure left.
There is no electricity for weeks, there's no water for weeks.
My mother's 94 years old.
She calls me the whole time and tell me there's no plan and there's no knowledge to revolt South Africa.
And people are corrupt.
No matter what you gifted to South African government, it will always be stolen.
If you drive around in Victoria and the Capitol, the mansions belong to the politicians.
These people dying on the ground.
They don't have food to eat, but they have costs, they've got mansions, and they've got no knowledge how to run the country.
It's sad you're describing way too many countries on the face of this earth, and that's why I hope this memorial day, people stop and pause and realize and appreciate that we live in the greatest country God gave man, and we were on the verge of becoming a a European disaster.
Uh if if we didn't if we did not vote in the last election the way we did.
I'm very sorry, Jackie.
I hope that maybe the president is got this guy's attention enough that this comes to an end.
Racism in any form is evil and repugnant.
End of sentence.
It doesn't matter.
Racism is racism.
Anyway, I believe we're all God's children.
Appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Randy is in Missouri next on the Sean Hannity show.
How are you, Randy?
Glad you called.
Doing fine, Sean, and it's it's a pleasure to speak with you today.
You know, with all the world's troubles, and then we hear Claire McCaskill talk about the intelligence of the American people.
Yeah.
That really brought up a lot of ghost and a lot of old thoughts because you know she's been on the government crawl most of her life.
You know, she was the prosecutor in Jackson County, Missouri.
She was the state auditor, you know, a green fraud.
All the good things that I makes me wonder, Claire, you worked for the government your whole life, and you and your husband are worth 60 or 70 million.
So, you know, I got to thinking about that and looking back about where you know, again, she was a prosecutor, she was an auditor, and he was just an insignificant partner um low income housing where they were getting um government money.
Well, as soon as she took term office in in two terms, that company, and he was a minor minor person there, but we're awarded a hundred and thirty-one million dollars in federal funds.
I mean, Claire, come on.
Maybe we're dumb, but we're not that dumb.
Listen, every name we've been called has not benefited the Democrats politically.
I mean, we've been called irredeemable deplorables, we've been called, you know, bitter Americans that cling to our God, guns, bibles, and religion.
Uh, we've been called garbage, uh, we have been called racist, we've been called sexist, fascist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic.
Uh, we've been portrayed as people that don't care about the elderly, that we want dirty air and we want dirty water, and that's our plan for the country.
Uh, and and we've been called stupid.
So there's nothing that they can say that matters anymore.
And you know, now that it's kind of really come to the forefront, the the the level of cover-up on so many different issues, not the least of which is Joe's cognitive decline.
The good news is is that legacy state run media and the Democratic Party, you know, as of now are dead.
The legacy media, I think, has lost credibility forever.
Democrats will they try to will will will they try some transformation and try to act as though they're people that they're not, probably at some point when they keep losing elections.
But if they're if their most prominent voices are AOC and Jasmine Crockett and the squad and Grandpa Bernie, uh, I think we're in good pretty good political shape for now.
But you know what?
We've always got to be vigilant.
Remember Reagan's admonition.
You know, freedom is just one generation away from extinction.
Don't ever forget it.
Anyway, good call, my friend.
Don't worry about Claire McCaskill.
Who cares about her?
Uh anyway, back to our busy phones.
Uh, let us say hi to Lynn in Michigan.
Hey, Lynn, how are you?
Glad you called.
Great.
How are you, Sean?
I'm good.
Thank you.
What's on your mind today?
Well, you know, first of all, I just want to say, after listening yesterday, to you go back and forth with Linda about the way she pronounced sauce.
Hey, Linda, I just want to let you know.
Silver palette pasta source.
Yes.
Go ahead.
How do I say it?
Continue.
Sous.
And by not you, Lynn.
By saying I got your six, just in case Jim Coley's listening, that means I've got her back.
I hope he's listening.
That's great.
I mean, but you know that it's not sauce.
Not like Prago and Ray.
New York.
I mean, there are certain dead giveaway words, and she doesn't even try.
Well, I mean, I I can play old tapes of of my show when I started on radio and I had a news for you, brother.
You said afterwards yesterday, and you said it just like that.
That's right.
I'm I'm not sure.
That's definitely a Sean.
My accent will kick in occasionally when I'm very tired.
If you want to know if I'm like, I got wiped out last week because I got no sleep while I was in the Middle East.
None.
And when I get tired, uh I can slip back into a little bit of my New York accent.
But remember, I was gone out of New York for 16 years.
And then I went back for Fox, but I'm so glad to be out of there in the free state of Florida.
Well, I'm just having you spelled burner because I I want one of them.
And you know, if you wouldn't have spelled it, boy, I would have been having trouble finding that one.
But now I'm gonna take some entertainment out of it and go into my local gun shop because I know they listen to you, and I'm saving up to get one of those, and when I get enough money, I'm gonna say that I'm there because Sean Hannity sent me for a burner.
Sean Hannity sent you for a burner.
All right, I'll tell you what, Lynn, stay on the line.
I'm gonna send you a burner C L. Uh this way you don't you can save up for something else that's more important, okay?
Although there really is nothing more important than protecting yourself and your family.
And the great thing about the C L is you can easily conceal carry it in in your purse.
It's not a big deal.
Thank you.
All right, stay on the line.
Don't hang up.
Uh Linda will work.
What's the point?
I don't know.
She may have something else to say.
I mean, we got distracted with the sauce talk.
What else did you want to say, Lynn?
Well, you know, I just wanted to get to this whole Biden cancer cover up.
And the more I think about it, it really I'm really angry about this.
And the fact that the Dems now are saying that all investigations into the autopen should be stopped, and any investigation into all that.
You know, no, a cancer diagnosis does not erase criminal activity.
And you know, you have to The cognitive thing is far worse.
As far as I'm concerned, there's elder abuse that needs to be investigated, but more importantly, national security issues are at hand here.
And who is running the show?
And who knew what and and who what did they know?
When did they know it?
I want answers to those questions.
Because that put the country at risk.
And was he really the guy that was using the auto pen, or did somebody else decide that they would assur his power as a duly elected president and decide for him uh what their agenda was.
We need to know we need an answer to that.
And then you I mean, you throw in like Hunter Biden's laptop.
That was an indictment served up on a silver platter.
And that's what I want to know is what criminal activity or what act of corruption must happen before we see arrests and accountability.
Well, uh, they got away with a lot.
I mean, the Russia collusion hoax went on for three years.
And I went through a list last night of all the things we got right.
We got that right.
It took us three years, a very small ensemble cast.
We got it right on radio and TV.
Uh, we got Pfizer right on radio and TV.
We got the double standard with top secret classified information right, and everyone else in the media got it wrong.
We got Joe's cognitive state right, they got it wrong.
Uh, we got the charges that Alvin Bragg uh brought up against Trump.
We were right.
The statute of limitations had run out.
It wasn't a federal crime.
We were right about that.
We were right about the valuation of Mar-a-Lago.
And then I have my list from the past.
I was right about Richard Jewell, we were right about Ferguson, Missouri, we were right about Duke LaCrosse, we were right about UVA.
You know, at some point it's not an accident that we end up getting everything right and they get everything wrong because they have been corrupt and abusively biased.
But the good news is is nobody paid attention to them in this past election.
They have lost the trust forever of the American people.
And Jake Tapper capitalizing it makes me nauseous.
Stay on the line, Lynn.
