00:00:00.000Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:05.200It's great to have you with us on yet.
00:00:07.340I guess another beautiful day in America.
00:00:10.080Thanks so much for being with us tonight, live for The Great America Show.
00:00:12.780We're live tonight, so let us know, as always, where you're tuned in from.
00:00:16.620Let's get this show started, why don't we?
00:00:19.480John Thune again today, showing that he's incapable of being a leader.
00:00:25.660He's incapable of being the man responsible for leading the Senate under President Trump, showing he's incapable of being the man to push forth President Trump's agenda.
00:00:55.660He fears the rhinos, which he reports to, the Mitch McConnells, the Susan Collins, the Lisa Murkowskis, the Bill Cassidy's, all the losers.0.98
00:03:34.520I don't even understand why he hasn't resigned yet
00:03:37.440Every time we see him, his health is in worse decline than it was before.
00:03:43.820And David McCormick also missing the vote.
00:03:49.000Now McConnell's office said that Senator McConnell will not be voting all week after his latest hospitalization, which once again begs the question, why is he still there?
00:10:38.980So getting back to John Thune and his rhino betrayal of President Trump, his rhino betrayal of MAGA, his rhino betrayal of the Republican Party.
00:10:50.520He was asked today what he thought about butting heads with President Trump.
00:10:57.760Apparently, he's gone after President Trump quite a bit because he doesn't agree with him.
00:11:04.740Your frustrations with the president about how he handled FISA, about how he handled Jay Clayton, dealing with the fund for the rioters.
00:11:14.320Do you have to express to the president some of your frustration with him, the idea that he's been jerking the Senate around the past couple of weeks?
00:11:21.780Look, we have very candid conversations.
00:11:27.560I shoot straight with him and vice versa.
00:11:30.120And, you know, we at times have differences of opinion.
00:11:33.120But I think the important thing is the issues that really matter to the future of this country and to the American people we have been united on.
00:11:40.540And we continue, as we move forward, to look for those opportunities where this team can pull together House, Senate, and President and his team in the White House on issues that are going to make this country safer and stronger and more prosperous.
00:11:55.160And so the conversations that we have about those issues are regular.
00:11:59.760And, yes, and sometimes we have differences of opinion.
00:12:03.160But the one thing that we all agree on is we have an alignment of incentives.
00:12:08.140And as I said before, that's to keep the country safe, to put more money in the pockets of the American people, and to give them better opportunities to get ahead.
00:12:17.420Of course you have a difference of opinion.1.00
00:12:43.360He's mad about what President Trump did with Jay Clayton.
00:12:47.400Let's talk about what President Trump did with Jay Clayton.
00:12:52.040He told him and he pulled the nomination, not the nomination, he pulled the hearings, President Trump, because he knew that dude wasn't going to do the little blue slip process.
00:13:04.600He was going to abide by the same BS blue slips.
00:13:08.140And that we're going to have no U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
00:13:12.080And guess what? Some Marxist Dem would have been put in there to continue to run rogue and do whatever they want.0.52
00:13:19.520So President Trump said no dice, no thanks.
00:13:24.600He also coupled that in with working with the Marxist Dems to try to sneak in a little deal for FISA.
00:13:34.860and the deal was the Democrats vote for FISA
00:13:39.000as long as they don't allow Bill Pulte in there
00:13:43.400because they're terrified of Bill Pulte.
00:13:46.980For the life of me, I can't figure that out. Why?
00:17:56.660By the way, Cornyn also ran to be the majority leader in 2024.
00:18:01.020And the reason I like Rick Scott is because Rick Scott has called President Trump to Capitol Hill, and he didn't even request permission, a blessing, anything from the Senate GOP leadership.
00:18:18.320And he's teamed up with someone who I think has become such a great senator, Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who's advocating that the Senate should approve the Save America Act.
00:23:17.460Never cared if they brought them back again.
00:23:19.880This was the nature of the democratic beast.
00:23:23.680Now, we got this little war with Iran that's, you know, caused a little bit of a roadblock, a little bit of a speed bump, but I'm sure it's all going to be settled in a very, very timely manner.
00:23:35.940now speaking of president trump president trump announced this afternoon that federal authorities
00:23:42.160have now made six arrests in connection with the vandalism and damage at the lincoln memorial in
00:23:47.080the reflecting pool filling new details about the deliberate act of destructing and targeting one
00:23:53.620of the nation's most iconic landmarks out of the america 250 anniversary celebration according to
00:24:00.800president trump investigators determined that a massive 350 foot gash was discovered in the
00:24:05.740reflecting pool and it was not an accident or construction defect rather result of intentional
00:24:10.560vandalism carried out the sharp blade the thing about this is trump derangement syndrome0.95
00:24:16.940to the highest level that's sick that is so sick0.81
00:24:25.880and these people i think who are doing this stuff these people with tds0.98
00:25:00.600Grown adults that have Trump derangement syndrome.
00:25:06.580Now, Rand Paul, who's not a fan of his by any stretch of the imagination, reportedly subpoenaed Anthony Fauci to appear before Senate for grilling on the coronavirus pandemic next month.
00:25:22.500Now, this all comes after the Tulsi Gabbard dump and what we we learn there.
00:25:30.480But it depends where you get your news from, though.
00:25:32.060I got to be honest, folks, because if you tune into CNN or you read anything from CNN,
00:25:38.320they'll tell you it was just a big nothing burger.
00:25:42.320We didn't truly learn anything from the Gabbard dump of documents.
00:28:41.360Turning now to the Department of Justice.
00:28:43.360The Department of Justice this afternoon announcing a massive indictment.
00:28:48.160455 defendants have been charged with stealing over six billion dollars in health care fraud schemes across 45 states.
00:28:57.100This is all part of a fraud task force.
00:28:59.840Today, we are here to announce the results of the 2026 national health care fraud takedown.
00:29:06.960This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history.
00:29:15.340Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and the Vice President and all those folks standing behind me and next to me, we are more united than ever before.
00:29:27.000This team is working tirelessly to take down fraudsters who steal from taxpayer-funded programs and prey on vulnerable Americans.
00:29:36.660When we talk about the team that's working on these cases, I want to give some context around that.
00:29:43.840There are nine health care fraud strike forces that have been part of this effort, 57 U.S. attorney's offices, 41 state attorney general's offices, not red states, not blue states, but both working together with the federal government.
00:30:06.260Multiple law enforcement agencies, including inspector generals, some of the agencies that are that are here with me on this stage.
00:30:14.800That's what we talk about when we say this is an all government approach to combating fraud.
00:30:20.080It's not just the Department of Justice. It's not just HHS.
00:30:24.200It's all government, including with working with our state and local partners.
00:30:29.180Now, this is all part of a fraud task force that was implemented by President Trump in conjunction with Dr. Oz and RFK Jr.
00:30:39.700Today, 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.
00:30:52.600Since June 8th, we've charged 455 defendants across 56, like I said a minute ago, U.S.
00:30:59.820attorney's offices and 45 U.S. states and territories.
00:31:03.980As alleged in the various indictments, these individuals participated in health care fraud
00:31:09.500schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and
00:31:19.820The team around me will get into more specifics, but here are a few points that stand out.
00:31:26.760In one indictment, we're bringing charges against a corporate executive in Arizona in connection to over a $1 billion fraud involving unnecessary wound grafts.
00:31:38.800This alleged scheme costs Medicare over $1 million per patient.
00:31:44.880In total, our indictment charges 11 defendants for over $2 billion in fraudulent claims in connection to alleged wound care schemes.
00:31:55.420The indictment also alleges that these individuals then used the taxpayer money to bankroll multimillion-dollar homes,
00:32:03.060luxury vehicles like a $135,000 Maserati, jewelry like an $865,000 Bligari necklace,
00:32:10.760and, to top it all off, to fund the construction of a $4.6 million hotel at a beach resort in the Philippines.
00:32:20.960We're taking back the money, the luxury cars, the jewelry, and these alleged fraudsters will face justice.
00:32:28.780The coordinated actions of the past two weeks have resulted in over $182 million in cash and other assets seized,
00:32:36.940making clear our health care fraud enforcement efforts
00:32:39.660generate a significant return on investment for our taxpayers.
