So how much power, and we're talking about influence here, do they have on the GOP, especially over the long run? - Yeah, over the long run. That's what I think is so important here. And it's not just about Donald Trump. It's about the Make America movement. Again, that's what we're talking about. Make America Great Again movement. And it is as powerful as it has ever been because I want you to take a look here. GOP who view MAGA favorably. Two years ago when Donald Trump was running for term number two, it was 74%. Today, look at this, it's 78% of Republicans who view the Make America Great Again movement favorably. So we're talking about something that, in my opinion, will very much be able to outlast Donald Trump. Trump is in term number two. He can't run for a term number three, but the bottom line is this. What he brought into the GOP looks like it's going to last long beyond him. - It's a very populous movement. I am curious because J.D. Vance would then be the next standard bearer of this movement. Where is the GOP on how they feel about him? - Yeah, okay, so obviously J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States, at this point looks like a favorite for the Republican nomination come 2028. And one of the reasons why he looks like a favorite is because the Republican base loves J.D. Vance. What are we talking about here? Someone who really represents the Make America Great Again movement. This is somebody, a year ago, his favorable rating among Republicans, 81%. Latest market university law school poll, look at this. 84%, 84%, so if anything his favorable rating is somewhat up from where it was a year ago, after a year of Trump, and of course that matches what we see when it comes to MAGA, right? It matches what we see coming to MAGA, whereby it was 74, and now it's 78%. If anything, MAGA's grip on the GOP, and it seems like the next in line to be the next standard bearer of MAGA, both of them, their favorable ratings are actually up after a year of Donald Trump's second term.

So just got word that the FBI is in Atlanta, Georgia conducting a search warrant and the Fulton County election office and I have spoken to a number of individuals over the last couple of weeks have not spoken about this publicly, but who have been called in by the FBI questioning and was aware that the FBI was here do not have any information with the search warrant is related to other than Fox News is reporting is related to the 2020 election. And I'd like to remind you that the reason that we, some of us specifically Bert Jones, Brandon beach, William Ligon and myself, the first four that stood up and called for a special session because of the legislature could do this back in 2020. I'm glad that we finally will be getting to the bottom of whatever it was that happened in 2020 thanks to the federal government wish that we could have done it much, much earlier. We'll keep you posted on what we know, but the FBI is here and hopefully we'll get the truth soon.

Today we are announcing federal and state charges, all of which were charged or unsealed at some point over the past two weeks, the past 14 days, coordinated nationwide action. Since June 8th, we've charged 455 defendants across 56, like I said a minute ago, US attorney's offices, and 45 US states and territories. As alleged in the various indictments, these individuals participated in healthcare frauds, claims involving over $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs. The team around me will get into more specifics, but here are a few points that stand out. In one indictment, we're bringing charges against a corporate executive in Arizona in connection to over a $1 billion fraud involving unnecessary wound grass. This alleged scheme costs Medicare over $1 million per patient. In total, our indictment charges 11 defendants for over $2 billion in fraudulent claims in connection to alleged wound care schemes. The indictment also alleges that these individuals then used the taxpayer money to bankroll multimillion dollar homes, luxury vehicles like $135,000 Maserati, jewelry like an $865,000 We're taking back the money, the luxury cars, the jewelry, and these alleged fraudsters will face justice. Coordinated actions of the past two weeks have resulted in over $182 million in cash and other assets seized. Making clear our healthcare fraud enforcement efforts generate a significant return on investment for our taxpayers.

This is a bar chart / infographic comparing the length of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. to the heights of three famous American skyscrapers. A tall blue bar shaped like the reflecting pool (topped with an illustration of the Lincoln Memorial) is shown at 2,030 ft, dwarfing illustrated bars/silhouettes of the Willis (Sears) Tower at 1,451 ft, the Empire State Building at 1,454 ft, and One World Trade Center at 1,776 ft. A y-axis on the left is marked in 500 ft increments from 0 to 2,000 ft.

We have just sent a letter to Governor Walz alerting him to something he probably fears and should have taken action in a timely manner to avoid. We are auditing all of the Medicaid bills, in particular for the 14 programs that he and his own administration have admitted were problems, and we're going to claw that money back from the Medicaid monies that they'll be getting. Now, this is a major problem for the state because they've got to own the fact that they have been bilking the federal taxpayer for their sloppy behavior for years. What we have learned so far in Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg, perhaps the largest Medicaid scam ever taking place throughout the state in many different fashions. But just alone with the things that we're concerned about, we're talking about $500 million or more of money that could be in places that we're not even sure how it was billed, where it went, people having trouble tracking it. We challenged the Walz administration to give us a corrective action plan. By the end of the year, they sent us something after hours on New Year's Eve. It was completely insufficient. This is an appropriate response from the federal government. President Trump is very clear on this. He doesn't want 6 million people or less living in Minnesota to have all the fraud that happened in that state paid for by all the other taxpayers in the country. And for the 6 million people in Minnesota, Governor Walz let you down. His administration, despite all the blustering now, did not do their job. They did not take these very credible allegations over the last several years seriously. Just in the time that I've been an administrator, they've been telling us that they have this handled. They did not. And so the corrective action plans that they have submitted, since they are inadequate, we're going to demand that they fix those problems and we're going to claw back money to protect the federal taxpayers.

that we saw back in 2020 when states took longer to vote it looked like Republicans were doing better at the beginning they tend to vote earlier the votes tend to be counted just culturally not even sure why tend to be counted first and then once the votes that are already there legally are counted it looks different
