- 2:51Speaker 1: And Kev Ted says, where's Major? Maybe we can get
- 2:53Speaker 1: Major in at some point during the program later on
- 2:56Speaker 1: this morning. Major's doing great, though. Major's doing great. He
- 2:59Speaker 1: was doing tricks yesterday on the radio show, on one
- 3:01Speaker 1: of the commercial breaks. I was throwing treats to him,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and he was catching them. He went three for three.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It was good. He didn't even realize it was his
- 3:09Speaker 1: big moment. He has no idea there's a camera pointing
- 3:11Speaker 1: at him. He went three for three on catching treats
- 3:13Speaker 1: in midair. It was awesome. During that radio show yesterday,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I was alerting the audience to the fact that I
- 3:19Speaker 1: had begun to hear a genuine and, well, let's just
- 3:24Speaker 1: say a credible rumor that the attorney general of the
- 3:28Speaker 1: United States was about to be leaving her post, that
- 3:31Speaker 1: she'd be on the way out, Pam Bondi destined for
- 3:34Speaker 1: the exits. Yes, it's true. The media had begun... reporting
- 3:38Speaker 1: those claims, but yours truly doesn't just believe the legacy media.
- 3:42Speaker 1: And then I started hearing from reliable sources that that's
- 3:44Speaker 1: the case as well. And sure enough, within the hour,
- 3:48Speaker 1: Pam Bondi was out. We got the announcement from the
- 3:51Speaker 1: president of the United States via Truth Social that she
- 3:56Speaker 1: is out of that gig. He said that Pam Bondi
- 3:59Speaker 1: has done a great job, that she's a great American patriot,
- 4:02Speaker 1: a loyal friend who has faithfully served as my attorney
- 4:05Speaker 1: general over the past year. And he said she did
- 4:08Speaker 1: a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown on crime across
- 4:11Speaker 1: our country, with murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. Like,
- 4:15Speaker 1: you know, whatever else you're going to talk about when
- 4:17Speaker 1: it comes to Pam Bondi as we look back in
- 4:19Speaker 1: American history on the role that she played as Attorney General.
- 4:23Speaker 1: The truth is, the Attorney General, the Justice Department, they
- 4:26Speaker 1: are ultimately in charge of the FBI. And the FBI
- 4:29Speaker 1: deserves a tremendous amount of credit for the work that
- 4:32Speaker 1: they did in dropping the homicide rate all across the
- 4:36Speaker 1: country to on record lows, just record lows. So Pam
- 4:41Speaker 1: Bondi is going to get her share of the credit
- 4:42Speaker 1: for that. And the president gives that to her as
- 4:44Speaker 1: he says goodbye to her and the job. He says,
- 4:46Speaker 1: we love Pam. She will be transitioning to a much
- 4:49Speaker 1: needed and important new job in the private sector to
- 4:52Speaker 1: be announced at a date in the near future. And
- 4:54Speaker 1: our deputy attorney general and a very talented and respected
- 4:58Speaker 1: legal mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as
- 5:01Speaker 1: acting attorney general. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch. Remember, Todd
- 5:07Speaker 1: Blanch was the president's personal attorney, the guy who defended
- 5:10Speaker 1: him in court against all of the tyranny that we've
- 5:12Speaker 1: seen over and over and over again. There is somewhat
- 5:16Speaker 1: of a satisfaction that comes with the fact that now
- 5:18Speaker 1: he's the top prosecutor for the United States, at least
- 5:22Speaker 1: for now. He's the acting attorney general. We'll get to
- 5:24Speaker 1: that in a moment. But I want to start with
- 5:26Speaker 1: Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi, you know, it's not the most
- 5:30Speaker 1: typical thing in the world, but also not the most
- 5:32Speaker 1: unusual thing in the world that somebody in the position
- 5:34Speaker 1: of attorney general for President Trump would leave on a
- 5:37Speaker 1: relatively short timetable. Attorney General Bondi has been there now
- 5:40Speaker 1: just over a year. And, you know, you remember back
- 5:44Speaker 1: at the beginning of Trump's first administration, he had Jeff
- 5:47Speaker 1: Sessions for a short time. Jeff Sessions, who basically checked
- 5:50Speaker 1: out during some of the most critical elements of of
- 5:53Speaker 1: the president's time in office, decided to recuse himself from
- 5:56Speaker 1: anything related to Russia investigations, and that proved to be
- 6:01Speaker 1: a disaster, a complete disaster. Rod Rosenstein then substituted his judgment,
- 6:07Speaker 1: appoints a special counsel in the form of Bob Mueller,
- 6:09Speaker 1: and the rest is history. So the president has always
- 6:12Speaker 1: been sensitive to the shortcomings or the failures or the
- 6:16Speaker 1: lack of 100% effort on the part of his attorneys general.
- 6:22Speaker 1: He just needs excellence in that job. It's a super
- 6:25Speaker 1: important job, and he needs the absolute best. And there
- 6:29Speaker 1: were times in Pam Bondi's tenure where she didn't deliver
- 6:32Speaker 1: the absolute best. Let's just be honest. When Attorney General
- 6:36Speaker 1: Bondi began her tour through the Jeffrey Epstein files and
- 6:42Speaker 1: how she was going to handle them, she made a
- 6:45Speaker 1: series of mistakes that I think have haunted her ever since.
- 6:49Speaker 1: She stepped on rakes, in other words. Remember, early on,
- 6:52Speaker 1: it was February of last year, Pam Bondi goes on
- 6:55Speaker 1: national television as a part of a series of television
- 6:57Speaker 1: interviews where she starts promising that she's about to release
- 7:01Speaker 1: devastating Jeffrey Epstein information that was going to implicate all
- 7:05Speaker 1: sorts of people of criminal wrongdoing. Here she is in
- 7:08Speaker 1: February of last year. Take a look at her on
- 7:10Speaker 1: TV making such claims.
- 7:11Speaker 2: You said last week that you have the Epstein files
- 7:15Speaker 2: on your desk. When can we see them and what's
- 7:18Speaker 2: taking so long to release them?
- 7:20Speaker 3: I do.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Jesse, there are well over this. This will make you sick.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Two hundred victims. Two hundred. So we have well over
- 7:30Speaker 4: over two hundred and fifty actually. So we have to
- 7:33Speaker 4: make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information.
- 7:39Speaker 4: But other than that, I think tomorrow, you know, the
- 7:41Speaker 4: personal information of victims. Other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse,
- 7:46Speaker 4: breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein
- 7:49Speaker 4: information being released by my office.
- 7:52Speaker 1: What kind?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Are we going to see who was on the flights?
- 7:56Speaker 2: Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded?
- 7:59Speaker 2: Because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices.
- 8:03Speaker 4: What you're going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot
- 8:08Speaker 4: of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.
- 8:12Speaker 4: But it's pretty sick what that man did.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Along with his co-defendant.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Absolutely. And he had help. That's for sure.
- 8:20Speaker 2: He sure did.
- 8:22Speaker 1: OK, so then so you start getting these statements from
- 8:25Speaker 1: from Pam Bondi and then not much. In fact, one
- 8:30Speaker 1: of the big sequences last year was at one moment
- 8:32Speaker 1: there were a bunch of conservatives who were welcome to
- 8:35Speaker 1: the White House as Pam Bondi was handing them. binders
- 8:38Speaker 1: that supposedly contained a bunch of Epstein information. In the end,
- 8:43Speaker 1: nothing was actually in the binders, nothing of value anyway,
- 8:46Speaker 1: nothing revelatory. And as people were walking out of the
- 8:50Speaker 1: White House, they were photographed carrying these binders that said
- 8:52Speaker 1: that there was Epstein information within them. And then ever
- 8:56Speaker 1: since then, the people who were carrying the binders were
- 8:59Speaker 1: attacked for merely carrying the binders. That's not on them.
- 9:02Speaker 1: That's candidly on the attorney general, Pam Bondi. for subjecting
- 9:06Speaker 1: them to that sort of weird publicity stunt that wasn't
- 9:11Speaker 1: a value at all. And then on July 6th last year,
- 9:15Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice, an unsigned letter, claimed
- 9:19Speaker 1: that there was nothing else to release, that it was over,
- 9:22Speaker 1: that Epstein had no client list, that there was nothing
- 9:26Speaker 1: else to share with the public, and therefore this is
- 9:30Speaker 1: a settled matter. Well, That too was absurd. And the
- 9:34Speaker 1: public reacted by saying, what? I'm sorry, you were promising
- 9:37Speaker 1: all sorts of things and now you're telling us nothing?
- 9:39Speaker 1: I don't understand this at all. And that led President
- 9:42Speaker 1: Trump to get involved personally. President Trump, who's got more
- 9:45Speaker 1: than enough things to deal with as president of the
- 9:47Speaker 1: United States, gets involved and they pass a law in
- 9:51Speaker 1: Congress that President Trump signs into law mandating the release
- 9:55Speaker 1: of all of the available Epstein files, which the United
- 9:58Speaker 1: States Department of Justice has produced since. That was President
- 10:03Speaker 1: Trump's involvement. So just imagine being in his position. President Trump,
- 10:07Speaker 1: especially as it relates to the Epstein saga, is a
- 10:10Speaker 1: guy who has been really well acquitted in that saga,
- 10:12Speaker 1: the guy who was constantly helping authorities go after Jeffrey Epstein,
- 10:16Speaker 1: the guy who kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, the
- 10:18Speaker 1: guy who was in touch with the local sheriff about
- 10:22Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, who was talking to the defense attorney
- 10:25Speaker 1: on behalf of the victims. He was the most helpful
- 10:28Speaker 1: witness to the defense attorney. President Trump routinely has been
- 10:33Speaker 1: the guy who's come out as the good guy in
- 10:36Speaker 1: this entire saga, and yet he's being demonized by a
- 10:39Speaker 1: legacy media that is desperate to smear him in any
- 10:42Speaker 1: way they can. That's been the wrap-up smear technique that
- 10:44Speaker 1: they've constantly used against him. So just imagine his frustration
- 10:49Speaker 1: throughout all of this as Pam Bondi made a series
- 10:51Speaker 1: of unforced errors and the president had to come in
- 10:54Speaker 1: and clean up her mess. That's just that's just how
- 10:57Speaker 1: it went down. Does that mean Pam Bondi did nothing
- 10:59Speaker 1: of value as attorney general?
- 11:00Speaker 5: No.
- 11:01Speaker 1: As I mentioned at the outset, the fact that the
- 11:03Speaker 1: FBI working for the DOJ could help bring down the
- 11:06Speaker 1: murder rate to the lowest levels in American history is
- 11:09Speaker 1: the kind of thing that she can hang her hat on.
- 11:12Speaker 1: That's a meaningful, a big success. Fentanyl flows into the country.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The DOJ has a lot to do with prosecuting the
- 11:19Speaker 1: criminals that are involved with that. Fentanyl flows have dropped
- 11:22Speaker 1: by over 50% into the United States of America. She
- 11:26Speaker 1: has reason to be proud. of that. They've arrested a
- 11:31Speaker 1: lot of bad guys. I'm going to talk today more
- 11:32Speaker 1: about the fraudsters they've taken into custody. That matters a
- 11:36Speaker 1: great deal as well. And they have pursued so many
- 11:40Speaker 1: of the people who tyrannized the president and the people
- 11:43Speaker 1: around him. They have. They've gone after high value government officials,
- 11:48Speaker 1: well-known government officials. Certainly, you know, the case of John Bolton,
- 11:52Speaker 1: that's one. that we're looking at. They went after James Comey,
- 11:56Speaker 1: Letitia James. They're going after these people, one after the other,
- 11:59Speaker 1: after the other. Now, how much success have they had?
- 12:02Speaker 1: It's been a mixed bag. You've watched as cases have
- 12:05Speaker 1: collapsed in places like the Eastern District of Virginia, Because
- 12:09Speaker 1: it wasn't quite clear that the Justice Department had its
- 12:12Speaker 1: act together to be able to successfully stick the landing
- 12:15Speaker 1: on these cases. And you and I are waiting with
- 12:17Speaker 1: bated breath on what's going to happen in South Florida
- 12:20Speaker 1: right now with allegedly a grand conspiracy case that is
- 12:25Speaker 1: going after people like John Brennan, James Comey, and all
- 12:27Speaker 1: the other people who have been hurting our country so
- 12:30Speaker 1: badly since President Trump announced his run for president back
- 12:35Speaker 1: in 2015. We have very big cases to deal with,
- 12:39Speaker 1: and we need a very competent person at the top
- 12:41Speaker 1: of the United States Department of Justice to do it.
- 12:45Speaker 1: The other thing, Pam Bondi was not always a great communicator,
- 12:48Speaker 1: as I just laid out for you. There were times
- 12:50Speaker 1: she would go on national television. Perhaps there were times
- 12:53Speaker 1: she spent too much time on national television saying too little.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But what you do need is someone who can communicate
- 12:59Speaker 1: on a routine basis with the public coherently, competently, and
- 13:03Speaker 1: with a ruthless efficiency about all of the bad guys
- 13:06Speaker 1: we're pursuing and successfully prosecuting and locking up. We need
- 13:11Speaker 1: somebody who can do both. Someone who can lead a
- 13:13Speaker 1: justice department through prosecutions and can communicate routinely to the
- 13:17Speaker 1: public to restore faith in an institution that has lost
- 13:20Speaker 1: all faith. One of the other realities of this is
- 13:25Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice, as a cabinet agency,
- 13:29Speaker 1: has one of the lowest reputations in the entire federal
- 13:32Speaker 1: government because of what the left has done with that agency.
- 13:37Speaker 1: It's true. The DOJ and the FBI have some of
- 13:40Speaker 1: the crappiest reputations in the entire federal government. People instinctively
- 13:44Speaker 1: now think that these agencies are selling them out, lying
- 13:48Speaker 1: to them, pursuing injustice rather than justice. So as a result,
- 13:53Speaker 1: even Trump officials have become the inheritors of the crappy
- 13:57Speaker 1: reputation of those departments. This is what Kash Patel has
- 14:00Speaker 1: been fighting at the FBI, trying to fix that bureau
- 14:05Speaker 1: while simultaneously trying to dig it out of its reputational crisis.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Not a small task. This takes a colossal effort. And again,
- 14:14Speaker 1: You need somebody at the top of the United States
- 14:16Speaker 1: Department of Justice who can handle that competently, efficiently, and coherently.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And President Trump has determined that is not Pam Bondi.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He's asked her to leave. Now, allegedly, the conversation reportedly
- 14:30Speaker 1: that the president had with Pam Bondi occurred on Wednesday
- 14:34Speaker 1: as the two of them were headed to the United
- 14:35Speaker 1: States Supreme Court for that oral argument on birthright citizenship.
- 14:40Speaker 1: He apparently told her then in the car that he
- 14:43Speaker 1: was going to ask her to go. And sure enough,
- 14:46Speaker 1: he made the announcement yesterday, Thursday. And that brings us
- 14:50Speaker 1: to the next step. What do we have now? Well,
- 14:53Speaker 1: now we have Todd Blanch. Todd Blanch is the Deputy
- 14:56Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States. Now he's going to
- 14:57Speaker 1: be the Acting Attorney General of the United States. Todd
- 15:00Speaker 1: Blanch is President Trump's defense attorney. He stood next to
- 15:03Speaker 1: him in all of those court battles during 2024. He
- 15:06Speaker 1: helped prevent the election rigging by the American left during 2024.
- 15:10Speaker 1: He battled in courtrooms from New York to Georgia to Washington, D.C.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Todd Blanch was there with him. President Trump's got a
- 15:18Speaker 1: lot of faith in Todd Blanch, which is why he
- 15:19Speaker 1: asked him to become the deputy attorney general in the
- 15:22Speaker 1: first place. And now, for the moment, he's going to
- 15:24Speaker 1: lead the Justice Department. Now, it doesn't appear that he's
- 15:28Speaker 1: going to be the permanent guy, but he does acknowledge
- 15:32Speaker 1: that we do have some very big cases to deal with.
- 15:35Speaker 1: He can only say so much right now. Again, he's
- 15:37Speaker 1: the He's the top prosecutor now. But he was asked
- 15:41Speaker 1: last night by Jesse Waters about all of these very
- 15:45Speaker 1: high profile, tyrannical people who have gone after President Trump
- 15:49Speaker 1: and the people around him through the years. And what
- 15:51Speaker 1: kind of prosecutions can we expect for them? Here's that
- 15:54Speaker 1: exchange last night on Fox.
- 15:56Speaker 2: The president reportedly, probably obviously frustrated that the case is
- 16:01Speaker 2: against Tish and Schiff and Brennan and Comey, not really
- 16:05Speaker 2: going anywhere. Are you the guy that's going to be
- 16:08Speaker 2: able to get that done?
- 16:10Speaker 6: Look, I think the president is frustrated. Everybody is frustrated
- 16:13Speaker 6: because what we saw happen for the past four years
- 16:17Speaker 6: is unforgivable and can never happen again. And so certainly
- 16:21Speaker 6: I don't mind the frustration. I appreciate the frustration because
- 16:24Speaker 6: we do have to make sure that what happened for
- 16:26Speaker 6: four years never happens again. And we don't talk about investigations,
- 16:30Speaker 6: but I can tell you that the Department of Justice
- 16:33Speaker 6: is working hard every day. It was working hard yesterday,
- 16:36Speaker 6: and we're going to keep on working hard tomorrow, and
- 16:39Speaker 6: I'm honored that President Trump has asked me to step
- 16:43Speaker 6: in as acting, and also much appreciative for what Pam
- 16:47Speaker 6: Bondi did for the past year.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I mean, you get the anger. I mean, what Biden
- 16:51Speaker 2: and Obama did to this president. You understand there's a
- 16:54Speaker 2: lot of anger about that, right?
- 16:57Speaker 6: Not only do I understand, I lived it, Jesse. Don't forget,
- 17:00Speaker 6: I was on your show the night two years ago,
- 17:02Speaker 6: the night that President Trump was found guilty in Manhattan
- 17:05Speaker 6: in the middle of the lawfare. So I do not
- 17:08Speaker 6: need any kind of firsthand accounting of what happened. And so, yes,
- 17:12Speaker 6: I understand it. The American people understand it. And I
- 17:14Speaker 6: know that the American people expect that it will never
- 17:17Speaker 6: happen again. And we take that seriously.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Yeah, we take that seriously. So what is Todd Blanche doing?
- 17:23Speaker 1: Todd Blanche is doing, well, his job. There's only so
- 17:26Speaker 1: much he can say. As he points out, I can't
- 17:27Speaker 1: talk about ongoing investigations. But clearly, based on John Brennan's
- 17:32Speaker 1: own accounting, there are hundreds of subpoenas that have gone
- 17:36Speaker 1: out in South Florida right now in this grand conspiracy case.
- 17:39Speaker 1: A very, very live situation going down in South Florida
- 17:43Speaker 1: right now. Todd Blanche is aware of all of it,
- 17:46Speaker 1: but again, can't talk about it. You know when he
- 17:49Speaker 1: can talk about it? When the indictments pop up. When
- 17:52Speaker 1: you actually get indictments out of that case. May those
- 17:55Speaker 1: come soon. We were hoping for them earlier this year.
- 17:58Speaker 1: We'll continue to hope for them as imminently as humanly possible.
- 18:01Speaker 1: But as soon as those indictments show up, then we'll
- 18:03Speaker 1: get more out of the now acting Attorney General of
- 18:05Speaker 1: the United States, Todd Blanch. So we'll keep our eyes
- 18:11Speaker 1: on that. Now, who could take the role? Who could
- 18:14Speaker 1: be the next Attorney General of the United States? Who
- 18:17Speaker 1: do you want to see? in that role. I think
- 18:21Speaker 1: as a matter of descriptors, what we really want is
- 18:24Speaker 1: a killer. We're looking for somebody who's got it all.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Somebody who can bring these prosecutions, knows which jurisdictions to
- 18:32Speaker 1: bring them in, is doing things based on the chances
- 18:35Speaker 1: of success, and is restoring justice to the United States
- 18:39Speaker 1: of America, not just for high profile people, but all
- 18:42Speaker 1: across the board. We need somebody who is a competent
- 18:45Speaker 1: prosecutor and a competent leader and a competent communicator. Who
- 18:49Speaker 1: could that person be? I'm going to talk about some
- 18:51Speaker 1: of the names that are being floated right now and
- 18:53Speaker 1: some of the challenges that might be in the way
- 18:56Speaker 1: of getting them in place to have them do the
- 18:58Speaker 1: job in the first place, namely the Senate. We'll talk
- 19:02Speaker 1: about it coming up here on this edition of Vence.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Great to have you with us as always. We've got
- 19:07Speaker 1: a lot of great sponsors on our program to include
- 19:09Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is just such a wonderful, wonderful operation.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Every day, Americans make so many choices that shape their
- 19:16Speaker 1: own country's future, right down to the cell phone provider
- 19:19Speaker 1: that they support. Here's what a lot of people don't
- 19:21Speaker 1: even realize. Patriot Mobile's not just a wireless provider. They're
- 19:25Speaker 1: a Christian conservative organization that sells top-tier cell phone service. Now,
- 19:30Speaker 1: they've been on the front lines helping to defend our
- 19:32Speaker 1: freedoms long before it was cool, standing in the gap
- 19:35Speaker 1: when others would not. And the best part is simple.
- 19:37Speaker 1: They deliver prioritized premium service on all three major U.S. networks,
- 19:42Speaker 1: giving you the same or even better coverage backed by
- 19:45Speaker 1: 100% U.S.-based customer support. You can get unlimited data plans.
- 19:50Speaker 1: mobile hotspots, international roaming, and so much more. And when
- 19:54Speaker 1: you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to be supporting
- 19:56Speaker 1: a company that helps fuel the Christian conservative cause and
- 20:00Speaker 1: advances Patriot Mobile's values of faith, family, and freedom. Switching?
- 20:05Speaker 1: It's easier than ever. You can activate in just minutes.

- 20:18Speaker 1: Do what so many of this program's viewers have already done.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Everybody in the chat, everybody's got Patriot Mobile. That's patriotmobile.com
- 20:26Speaker 1: slash Vince or call 972-PATRIOT and make the switch today.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. All right.
- 20:35Speaker 5: So.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this is the big problem. You know, Ibn
- 20:38Speaker 1: Mar 45 goes, you know, the Senate will not confirm anybody.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Could be. That could be. We could have big problems here.
- 20:45Speaker 1: So we're very much on guard for how this person
- 20:48Speaker 1: can make their way through the Senate. I mean, because
- 20:50Speaker 1: think about this. Your instincts are probably like mine. Well,
- 20:53Speaker 1: the kind of person who would be great at this
- 20:55Speaker 1: would also be the kind of person who couldn't get
- 20:58Speaker 1: confirmed by the Senate, who couldn't get confirmed by the Senate.
- 21:01Speaker 1: And there are going to be meaningful impediments here. For instance, Thumbelina.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Thomas Tillis, or whatever the hell his name is, is
- 21:09Speaker 1: still inside the United States Senate, still causing problems. He's
- 21:13Speaker 1: nominally a Republican, but already last night he was on
- 21:17Speaker 1: CNN whining about January 6th as his primary consideration for
- 21:24Speaker 1: who gets to be the next attorney general. Watch Thomas Tillis,
- 21:28Speaker 1: excuse me, I want to say it correctly, last night
- 21:30Speaker 1: on CNN.
- 21:31Speaker 7: Pieces.
- 21:31Speaker 8: One is the investigation of Jerome Powell. There will not
- 21:36Speaker 8: be another Fed chair confirmed until that's disposed of, or
- 21:39Speaker 8: until for the first time since the allegations were made public,
- 21:44Speaker 8: they could actually prove there's even a scintilla of criminal activity.
- 21:48Speaker 1: We have seven.
- 21:49Speaker 8: Republican members of the banking committee saying there wasn't. Now,
- 21:53Speaker 8: separate matter, For me, the threshold for somebody following Pam
- 21:58Speaker 8: Bondi ends the moment I hear they said one thing
- 22:01Speaker 8: that excused the events of January the 6th. I've been
- 22:03Speaker 8: very clear on that. So I hope whoever they have
- 22:06Speaker 8: in mind to follow General Bondi was very clear-eyed on
- 22:10Speaker 8: my position on January the 6th. That's why I didn't
- 22:13Speaker 8: support two other nominees who were coming through Judiciary Committee,
- 22:16Speaker 8: and I won't support any nominee who thought that any
- 22:18Speaker 8: element of January 6th was excused.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Uh-huh. So January 6th, he's going to go after anybody.
- 22:28Speaker 1: He did this horse crap with Ed Martin. Remember Ed Martin?
- 22:31Speaker 1: Great Ed Martin. He treated Ed like crap because Ed was,
- 22:35Speaker 1: what was it again? A defense attorney for January 6th defendants. Well,
- 22:39Speaker 1: I'm sorry, January 6th defendants are not entitled to a defense, Thomas?
- 22:43Speaker 1: That's who he is. That's who that guy is. He's
- 22:46Speaker 1: a bad man. He's a bad man. All right, I'm
- 22:48Speaker 1: going to wipe my nose. Hold up. He's got to
- 22:53Speaker 1: leave the Senate. We got to get rid of that guy. So, well,
- 22:57Speaker 1: we are getting rid of him, but it's just, it
- 22:58Speaker 1: can't come soon enough. So he says January 6th is
- 23:03Speaker 1: the threshold. And of course he like takes the wrong
- 23:05Speaker 1: side of that issue. What an idiot. And, but so
- 23:09Speaker 1: he'll try and get in the way, but chances are,
- 23:10Speaker 1: we might be able to get somebody through without him.
- 23:12Speaker 1: We could get somebody through without him. Now, let me
- 23:15Speaker 1: run down the list here of who we're hearing. Mary
- 23:20Speaker 1: Margaret Olihan, the great Mary Margaret Olihan over at the
- 23:22Speaker 1: Daily Wire. She's got a list she published overnight. of
- 23:27Speaker 1: some of the people that she's hearing from her White
- 23:30Speaker 1: House sources or people close to the White House. And
- 23:33Speaker 1: here's what they're saying right now. People close to the
- 23:35Speaker 1: White House are throwing around a lot of names for
- 23:37Speaker 1: attorney general, she says. Here's a few of the names
- 23:41Speaker 1: that she's had mentioned to her today. Mike Lee. I'm
- 23:45Speaker 1: going to go, I'm going to, I'll get to these.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I'll get to these all. Mike Lee, Harmeet Dhillon, Ashley Moody,
- 23:53Speaker 1: Lee Zeldin, Eric Schmidt, And Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis also included,
- 23:59Speaker 1: she included it as a second tweet here. Also Ron DeSantis.
- 24:02Speaker 1: All right, let's just assume for a moment that this
- 24:06Speaker 1: is an authentic list, which I think is safe to
- 24:08Speaker 1: assume given Mary Margaret's a fantastic reporter. Let me start
- 24:12Speaker 1: with the Mike Lee and Eric Schmidt thing, and Ashley
- 24:16Speaker 1: Moody for that matter. No more senators. Stop it. I mean, look,
- 24:25Speaker 1: it's going to be up to the president what he
- 24:26Speaker 1: wants to do. But can I just can I just
- 24:28Speaker 1: throw the flag on senators? We don't need senators to go.
- 24:35Speaker 1: We don't need senators. We need people who are on
- 24:38Speaker 1: our side to stay right now. The last thing we
- 24:42Speaker 1: need to do is empty the Senate out anymore. We've
- 24:45Speaker 1: already gone through a number of senators who've joined the
- 24:48Speaker 1: Trump administration, starting, of course, with Vice President J.D. Vance
- 24:51Speaker 1: to begin with. And then you just had Mark Wayne
- 24:54Speaker 1: Mullen lead the Senate now to become the head of
- 24:56Speaker 1: Homeland Security. We are playing with very thin margins. I
- 25:01Speaker 1: don't want to see any of this. One, I don't
- 25:04Speaker 1: want to see any more senators disappear. Two, a guy
- 25:09Speaker 1: like Mike Lee, Mike Lee's chief of staff was already
- 25:13Speaker 1: on X yesterday saying, first of all, Mike Lee is
- 25:18Speaker 1: not even trying for this. He's not interested in the
- 25:20Speaker 1: job right now. And he was making it pretty clear.
- 25:23Speaker 1: He goes, the people who are advocating this or have
- 25:25Speaker 1: been pushing Mike Lee are people in the Senate who
- 25:28Speaker 1: don't like Mike Lee, right? So I understand. Why is
- 25:32Speaker 1: Mike Lee in the news right now, Chad? Why is
- 25:34Speaker 1: Mike Lee one of the biggest possible names in America
- 25:38Speaker 1: right now, outside of this conversation about Attorney General? Why
- 25:41Speaker 1: does everybody know about Mike Lee at this moment and
- 25:44Speaker 1: his work in the United States Senate? what piece of
- 25:47Speaker 1: legislation is possibly attached to Mike Lee that has everybody
- 25:51Speaker 1: talking about him right now? Yes, the Save America Act.
- 25:58Speaker 1: The Save America Act. Mike Lee has been undertaking a
- 26:03Speaker 1: Herculean effort to try and get the Save America Act passed.
- 26:07Speaker 1: So as a result, what is happening right now is
- 26:11Speaker 1: is senators and people around the senators who don't like
- 26:15Speaker 1: that Mike Lee has thrown off their status quo lifestyle,
- 26:22Speaker 1: who's thrown off their big plans, who's forced them to
- 26:26Speaker 1: talk about, think about, and pursue election integrity. The fact
- 26:29Speaker 1: that Mike Lee has upset the apple cart so much
- 26:32Speaker 1: has led people within the Senate to pretend like, oh yeah,
- 26:37Speaker 1: That'd be really great. He really deserves it. They just
- 26:39Speaker 1: want him out of the Senate. Imagine thinking that the
- 26:42Speaker 1: position of attorney general is the kind of place where
- 26:45Speaker 1: you send somebody when you don't want to deal with them.
- 26:48Speaker 1: That's how conceited and self-interested some of these senators are.
- 26:52Speaker 1: They're so full of crap. They're not pursuing election integrity
- 26:56Speaker 1: and they want to get rid of the guy who is.
- 26:58Speaker 1: So how about this? How about you keep Mike Lee?
- 27:00Speaker 1: Mike Lee's already said, by the way, in the last
- 27:02Speaker 1: 24 hours, he's not interested in going anywhere. He said,
- 27:03Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. He's going to stay right there
- 27:06Speaker 1: in position. He's going to stay right there in position. Now,
- 27:09Speaker 1: another person like Eric Schmidt, Senator Eric Schmidt. Eric Schmidt's great.
- 27:13Speaker 1: I really like Eric Schmidt, but he should stay in
- 27:15Speaker 1: the Senate for the reasons that I just enumerated, which
- 27:17Speaker 1: is we need senators. We don't have the margins to
- 27:19Speaker 1: play with here. Let's keep the good senators in place,
- 27:22Speaker 1: the people we can rely on in place because we
- 27:26Speaker 1: got enough squishes that are going to be left behind
- 27:28Speaker 1: if the good ones leave. Let's not do that. Let's
- 27:31Speaker 1: not do that. Now, Eric Schmidt has the benefit of
- 27:33Speaker 1: having been a state attorney general. That's really neat to see.
- 27:37Speaker 1: In that conversation, I want you to remember there are
- 27:39Speaker 1: a lot of state Republican attorneys general who fought so
- 27:43Speaker 1: hard for us during the Biden years when when there
- 27:47Speaker 1: was nobody else to turn to. There were Republican attorneys
- 27:49Speaker 1: general all across the country who were suing the Biden
- 27:52Speaker 1: administration like crazy. All of those people, many of those
- 27:56Speaker 1: people should probably be considered for the role, like the
- 27:59Speaker 1: kind of whether or not they're the kind of good
- 28:01Speaker 1: fight or in this. You did have a state attorney
- 28:06Speaker 1: general who left to join the Trump administration by the
- 28:11Speaker 1: name of Andrew Bailey. Andrew Bailey, remember, was the Missouri
- 28:15Speaker 1: attorney general. And he joined the Trump administration as the
- 28:20Speaker 1: deputy director at the FBI. I remember when Dan was there,
- 28:24Speaker 1: when Dan Bongino was there as the deputy director, Andrew
- 28:26Speaker 1: Bailey came in as the co-deputy director working alongside Dan
- 28:31Speaker 1: in that role for a while. Now he's the deputy
- 28:33Speaker 1: director at the FBI. And there has been some reporting
- 28:36Speaker 1: to suggest that Andrew Bailey was brought in originally to
- 28:40Speaker 1: the FBI to potentially be groomed to become an attorney
- 28:44Speaker 1: general replacement for Pam Bondi. Now, is that going to
- 28:48Speaker 1: be the arrangement? We'll see. But I just want to
- 28:51Speaker 1: plant that seed in your mind, just in case it occurs,
- 28:54Speaker 1: that that was at least what some of the reporting
- 28:56Speaker 1: has suggested in the past, that he might be the
- 28:59Speaker 1: kind of guy who could fill a role like this.
- 29:02Speaker 1: But back to that list that I was just referencing
- 29:04Speaker 1: with you when we talk about what Mary Margaret's sharing.
- 29:07Speaker 1: So we have the various senators that I don't think
- 29:10Speaker 1: should go anywhere. They should stay in the United States Senate.
- 29:14Speaker 1: You've got Ron DeSantis, the beloved governor of Florida. You
- 29:17Speaker 1: talk to people in Florida, they love Ron DeSantis, and
- 29:20Speaker 1: chances are they don't want to see him go anywhere
- 29:22Speaker 1: down in Florida, the free state of Florida. He's done
- 29:26Speaker 1: a good job At times, he's had some, he's bumped heads,
- 29:31Speaker 1: of course, with President Trump. They had a very rough
- 29:34Speaker 1: primary phase. They seem to have mostly gotten over it.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I don't see the warmest embrace. between the two of
- 29:41Speaker 1: them all the time. But Ron DeSantis is a pretty
- 29:44Speaker 1: competent attorney, competent governor. And again, I think the people
- 29:47Speaker 1: of Florida would be glad to keep him there. Let
- 29:50Speaker 1: me highlight two people, though, who are getting a tremendous
- 29:53Speaker 1: amount of attention who probably should be getting that attention.
- 29:56Speaker 1: That's Lee Zeldin and Harmeet Dhillon. Lee Zeldin and Harmeet Dhillon.
- 30:02Speaker 1: And here's why. Lee Zeldin is the head of the
- 30:06Speaker 1: Environmental Protection Agency. He has a fantastic track record. He's
- 30:11Speaker 1: run the EPA really well. And the staff that's around
- 30:16Speaker 1: him reportedly is saying that he's very much in play
- 30:21Speaker 1: right now to become the next attorney general. That apparently
- 30:25Speaker 1: is the conversation with the White House. Clearly, Mary Margaret
- 30:29Speaker 1: is saying that that's the case. Lee Zeldin, I think,
- 30:32Speaker 1: could be a pretty impressive attorney general. But insofar as
- 30:39Speaker 1: I can say whatever I want on this subject, I
- 30:43Speaker 1: just want to really emphasize the latter person here, which
- 30:46Speaker 1: is Harmeet Dhillon. Harmeet Dhillon is a conservative attorney with
- 30:53Speaker 1: an incredible track record fighting on behalf of certainly conservatives,
- 30:59Speaker 1: but civil rights everywhere. And I don't mean civil rights
- 31:02Speaker 1: the way the left talks about it. Civil rights, when
- 31:04Speaker 1: the left talks about it, they're talking about it in
- 31:06Speaker 1: a way that how do we advance Democrat Party power?
- 31:08Speaker 1: How do we base people? How do we judge people
- 31:10Speaker 1: based on their skin color? How do we pit people
- 31:12Speaker 1: against each other based on their immutable characteristics? Harmony Dillon
- 31:16Speaker 1: is the answer to all of that. Harmony Dillon right
- 31:20Speaker 1: now is the assistant attorney general for the civil rights
- 31:23Speaker 1: division at the Justice Department. She's already been Senate confirmed.
- 31:28Speaker 1: She's already gone through the Senate process. In April of
- 31:31Speaker 1: last year, she got a vote of 52 yeas to
- 31:37Speaker 1: 45 nays, 52 yeas to 45 nays in the United
- 31:41Speaker 1: States Senate, April of last year to confirm her. And
- 31:44Speaker 1: I just checked, there's Thom Tillis. Look at Thom Tillis
- 31:47Speaker 1: was a yay for her last year. So that's the
- 31:50Speaker 1: kind of thing you could put directly in Thom Tillis' face.
- 31:53Speaker 1: You're like, hey, you were a yay for her in
- 31:54Speaker 1: the past. Why not be a yay for her now?
- 31:57Speaker 1: In the job at the Civil Rights Division, her division
- 32:01Speaker 1: has been a standout in that department. Whatever your concerns
- 32:04Speaker 1: are about Pam Bondi, they should not apply in any
- 32:07Speaker 1: way to Harmeet Dhillon. Harmeet Dhillon has been outright aggressive.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Remember the raiding of that church in Minneapolis. You remember
- 32:15Speaker 1: what happened when all of those insane people poured into
- 32:19Speaker 1: that Christian church in Minneapolis were menacing the faithful? in there.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And then there was, of course, that natural concern that
- 32:26Speaker 1: you and I both had, which is, well, how long
- 32:28Speaker 1: is it going to take to take these people into custody?
- 32:30Speaker 1: Are they going to be arrested? Is there going to
- 32:32Speaker 1: be consequences for violating the First Amendment rights of those Christians?
- 32:37Speaker 1: And there were. And you know why there were? It
- 32:40Speaker 1: was Harmeet. Harmeet, who runs that civil rights division, ran
- 32:45Speaker 1: it with aggression. And as a result, they secured those results.
- 32:50Speaker 1: And that's not the only thing. She's been going after
- 32:52Speaker 1: civil rights violations on college campuses, civil rights violations all
- 32:56Speaker 1: across our country, genuine civil rights violations. And if she's
- 33:00Speaker 1: given the ability to run the entire United States Department
- 33:03Speaker 1: of Justice, then she will be able to bring her
- 33:06Speaker 1: long history of aggression on behalf of our country to
- 33:11Speaker 1: bear on behalf of the president of the United States.
- 33:14Speaker 1: I think Armie Dillon's name I'm glad to see it here.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I think it should very much be under consideration right
- 33:20Speaker 1: now for this big role. And to be crystal clear,
- 33:23Speaker 1: I don't know if people assume this, but I guess
- 33:25Speaker 1: I always assume this when I see anybody anywhere in
- 33:27Speaker 1: media say anything like, oh, I think that person would
- 33:29Speaker 1: be great. And then you question their motives. You're like,
- 33:31Speaker 1: Are you being paid to say that? Is somebody telling
- 33:33Speaker 1: you to say that? Is there some sort of operation?
- 33:36Speaker 1: I've seen others say Harmeet Dhillon, too. I'm going to
- 33:38Speaker 1: sell you straight up. I just like her. This just
- 33:41Speaker 1: came from me. I was talking to producer Jim yesterday
- 33:44Speaker 1: about it. We've been talking about it for a while,
- 33:45Speaker 1: even before the Pam Bondi thing came down. I said,
- 33:47Speaker 1: if Pam Bondi is ever replaced, I've said it on
- 33:50Speaker 1: this program. I said it on the radio show. If
- 33:52Speaker 1: Pam Bondi ever needs to be replaced, I think Harmeet
- 33:54Speaker 1: Dhillon would be wonderful. And I still think that. Nobody's
- 33:57Speaker 1: telling me to say that. I'm just concluding it based
- 34:00Speaker 1: on facts and evidence. I think she'd be great. I
- 34:02Speaker 1: think she'd be great. And I'm eager to see what
- 34:06Speaker 1: the president does here. It's a massive, massive decision. And
- 34:09Speaker 1: it could set the course of his entire presidency. In fact,
- 34:12Speaker 1: it probably will. Whoever he picks for this job will
- 34:15Speaker 1: set the course for the rest of his presidency. So
- 34:17Speaker 1: he needs to choose wisely, whoever that is.
- 34:20Speaker 5: All right.
- 34:21Speaker 1: So much more ahead on The Vince Show. Well, I'm sorry.
- 34:23Speaker 1: This is Vince. The name of the show is Vince,
- 34:25Speaker 1: the podcast. The Vince Show is the radio show. It
- 34:27Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. But great to have you here. Let's
- 34:31Speaker 1: get to one of our great sponsors that keep this show,
- 34:34Speaker 1: whatever it's called, going. Everybody's talking about weight loss injections
- 34:37Speaker 1: because the results are very dramatic.
- 34:39Speaker 5: It's true.
- 34:39Speaker 1: They are dramatic. Those weight loss injections, they work by
- 34:43Speaker 1: lowering blood sugar, reducing appetite. But what if you want
- 34:46Speaker 1: to lose the weight and you don't want the painful
- 34:48Speaker 1: weekly injections, especially when you hear about the side effects?
- 34:52Speaker 1: That's exactly why doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created Lean.
- 34:55Speaker 5: Lean.
- 34:56Speaker 1: And the results are totally remarkable. It's an amazing weight
- 34:59Speaker 1: loss supplement. The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown
- 35:02Speaker 1: to help lower your blood sugar, help you burn fat
- 35:04Speaker 1: by converting it into energy, and help you curb your
- 35:06Speaker 1: appetite and your cravings so you're less hungry. But look,

- 37:10Speaker 1: Dhillon for Attorney General. I'm just kidding. No, she's not
- 37:12Speaker 1: the sponsor. That would be funny though. Just after I said,
- 37:15Speaker 1: I'm not getting paid for that.
- 37:19Speaker 9: All right.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Let's see. Let us see. What else do we have
- 37:23Speaker 1: to get to? You know, the Justice Department is arresting
- 37:25Speaker 1: a lot of people. That is happening, including under Pampani.
- 37:29Speaker 1: We just got some wonderful news yesterday morning, actually. The
- 37:34Speaker 1: early hours of the morning. Every good FBI raid happens
- 37:38Speaker 1: before sunup. And in California yesterday, it was happening. The
- 37:43Speaker 1: the the feds just busted a bunch of health care
- 37:47Speaker 1: fraudsters yesterday. Remember, J.D. Vance has is running fraud force
- 37:54Speaker 1: at the White House. And just a just a few
- 37:57Speaker 1: days ago, he swore in the brand new assistant attorney
- 38:01Speaker 1: general for fraud nationwide to go after fraud nationwide, Colin McDonald.
- 38:06Speaker 1: And that's which is great, which means they'll have nationwide
- 38:08Speaker 1: jurisdiction to pursue all these fraudsters. And instantly, instantly, they're
- 38:14Speaker 1: going after the bad guys. Here is some video. This
- 38:18Speaker 1: is a CBS reporter who, by the way, I want
- 38:21Speaker 1: to credit. I forget the name of this guy, but
- 38:23Speaker 1: we've featured some of his video already. This is a
- 38:26Speaker 1: CBS reporter who's kind of been following the Nick Shirley thing.
- 38:30Speaker 7: Beat.
- 38:30Speaker 1: He's been following kind of on the heels of Nick
- 38:32Speaker 1: Shirley's coverage. And here he is. He was, I guess
- 38:36Speaker 1: somebody tipped him off. Maybe the feds did. They tipped
- 38:38Speaker 1: him off. He was on the scene as the FBI
- 38:41Speaker 1: arrested a bunch of fraudsters yesterday. Watch. All right.
- 38:56Speaker 9: So I'm on the scene of a FBI led raid
- 39:00Speaker 9: of a home owned by a husband and wife, psychologist,
- 39:04Speaker 9: and a nurse who the FBI says ran a fraudulent
- 39:07Speaker 9: hospice for years, racking up over $ 7 million in fraudulent payments.
- 39:13Speaker 3: I don't know if you can get a sense, but
- 39:16Speaker 3: we are in a very, very nice part of town.
- 39:21Speaker 3: We're in the city of San Dimas in a very
- 39:23Speaker 3: early area. Homes are.
- 39:28Speaker 5: All behind gates and essentially hidden behind all of the
- 39:33Speaker 5: screenery here. This is a very private, exclusive area. You
- 39:38Speaker 5: wonder where the money from hospice fraud goes. Some of
- 39:42Speaker 5: it goes to funding a certain lifestyle. I see one
- 39:47Speaker 5: arrest at the avenue. has one person, a man in custody.
- 39:54Speaker 5: This is the alleged, this is the owner of an
- 39:59Speaker 5: alleged fraudulent hospice. This would probably be, I guess, a psychologist.
- 40:06Speaker 5: I see further back a woman being escorted as well.
- 40:11Speaker 1: I see two people. I see a few people being escorted, actually.
- 40:16Speaker 1: That's great. I think I've seen maybe four. There we go. Okay,
- 40:19Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, so that's CBS's Adam Yamaguchi. Adam Yamaguchi
- 40:24Speaker 1: there for CBS, present as they're making this arrest of
- 40:29Speaker 1: a couple that is accused of stealing $ 7 million from
- 40:35Speaker 1: American taxpayers in a hospice fraud scheme. And I was
- 40:40Speaker 1: looking at some of the New York Post coverage of
- 40:42Speaker 1: this yesterday, and I was stunned by some of the
- 40:45Speaker 1: data that that the FBI has here. Take a look
- 40:49Speaker 1: at this. Here's what the New York Post has to
- 40:51Speaker 1: say on the subject. They said the raid was one
- 40:54Speaker 1: of several that took place yesterday all across the country
- 40:57Speaker 1: as a part of a massive federal effort to tackle
- 41:02Speaker 1: widespread fraud in California. It's a part of Vice President J.D.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Vance's Fraud Task Force. Oh, and the California Post was
- 41:10Speaker 1: there as well, meaning the New York Post's California affiliate
- 41:13Speaker 1: was there. Okay, so this is smart. This is the
- 41:17Speaker 1: walk of shame. The Trump administration calling the media and saying,
- 41:20Speaker 1: get out here. You got to see these fraudsters we're
- 41:22Speaker 1: taking into custody. In dramatic fashion, the couple Amalu Gill
- 41:26Speaker 1: and Gladwin Gill, who operate St. Francis Palliative Care in Anaheim,
- 41:32Speaker 1: were arrested at their home by an FBI SWAT team
- 41:34Speaker 1: as authorities sawed through the metal front gates of their
- 41:38Speaker 1: property and called with loudspeakers for them to come out. Dr.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Mehmet Oz, who is the administrator for CMS, we just
- 41:46Speaker 1: had him on the podcast, remember, ladies and gentlemen? He
- 41:49Speaker 1: was on the scene as well, and he said the
- 41:50Speaker 1: couple created a hospice in their daughter's name and bilked
- 41:54Speaker 1: millions of dollars from taxpayers. Since 2022, there have been allegations,
- 41:58Speaker 1: but for four years, what seems to be typical in California,
- 42:02Speaker 1: nothing was done, he said. The hospice had a mortality rate,
- 42:07Speaker 1: you ready? Of 2.3%. over the last five years, according
- 42:14Speaker 1: to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. 2.3%. Chat,
- 42:24Speaker 1: what do you use a hospice for? What's a hospice for?
- 42:29Speaker 1: Let's just say it's a, well, let's use one word,
- 42:33Speaker 1: present progressive. It starts with a D, ends in I-ing.
- 42:37Speaker 1: What is a hospice for?
- 42:38Speaker 5: Yes. Yes.
- 42:41Speaker 1: As RW goes, die. It's for dying. It's for the
- 42:46Speaker 1: end of your life.
- 42:48Speaker 10: So nobody who goes to the hospice dies. Everybody survives.
- 42:55Speaker 10: It's an Easter miracle. Everybody who goes.
- 42:58Speaker 1: To the hospice, we should not be prosecuting these people.
- 43:01Speaker 1: We should be studying them. What miracle did they have
- 43:05Speaker 1: going on at their operation that only 2.3%.
- 43:07Speaker 10: Of people are kicking it? Everybody else is surviving.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Does that make any sense in any context other than fraud?
- 43:20Speaker 5: No.
- 43:22Speaker 8: No.
- 43:22Speaker 1: This is precisely what Dr. Oz has warned us about,
- 43:27Speaker 1: which is you've got these ghouls. You've got these people
- 43:30Speaker 1: who will go to old people. They'll take their Medicare numbers.
- 43:34Speaker 1: They'll pretend like they're helping them with some sort of
- 43:37Speaker 1: urgent medical need or some sort of casual medical need.
- 43:41Speaker 1: And then they'll use their numbers and then they'll register
- 43:44Speaker 1: them as being in hospice. That's what they'll do. And
- 43:48Speaker 1: we've seen reports like healthy women and people just like
- 43:51Speaker 1: out there playing tennis and things. CBS, that guy, Adam Yamaguchi.
- 43:54Speaker 1: What's his name again? Adam, Josh, remind me. Yamaguchi, is
- 43:58Speaker 1: that his name? I don't want to screw it up.
- 44:01Speaker 1: But CBS is Adam Yamaguchi.
- 44:03Speaker 5: Okay.
- 44:03Speaker 1: So he did this report where he talked to this woman.
- 44:05Speaker 1: She was playing tennis. They were playing tennis together. And
- 44:07Speaker 1: he featured her and he goes, she tried to get
- 44:10Speaker 1: Medicare coverage. She was denied because they told her she
- 44:12Speaker 1: was in the hospice. She's like, I'm not in hospice.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I'm doing great. What are they talking about? Her number
- 44:17Speaker 1: was stolen. Her number was stolen by these unscrupulous thieves,
- 44:21Speaker 1: by these fraudsters who steal the money and then pretend
- 44:25Speaker 1: like they've got people in hospice when they don't. Nobody's dying.
- 44:28Speaker 1: A 2.3% mortality rate, 2.3% mortality rate. What a complete
- 44:36Speaker 1: and utter scam. And that takedown was one of a
- 44:39Speaker 1: bunch that happened yesterday. It wasn't just that couple. The
- 44:43Speaker 1: United States Department of Justice revealing eight people were arrested
- 44:46Speaker 1: in a health care fraud takedown, including the owners of
- 44:48Speaker 1: hospices that billed taxpayers millions of dollars to serve the
- 44:52Speaker 1: alleged dying victims. Bill Asaley is the U.S. attorney in
- 44:56Speaker 1: the area. We're enforcing a zero tolerance policy for criminals
- 44:59Speaker 1: who defraud American taxpayers. The defendants arrested this morning who
- 45:03Speaker 1: are charged with stealing millions of dollars of health care
- 45:05Speaker 1: benefits got caught and they now face years in federal prison.
- 45:11Speaker 1: And they go through the list here. There's a bunch
- 45:12Speaker 1: of cases. There's USA versus Minard, which involves someone called
- 45:17Speaker 1: Lolita Minard, a.k.a. Lolita Barania Rice of Anaheim. A licensed
- 45:22Speaker 1: vocational nurse was arrested yesterday on a federal criminal complaint
- 45:26Speaker 1: charging her with health care fraud. According to the documents,
- 45:29Speaker 1: Minard owned and operated a hospice, allegedly, from July 2020
- 45:34Speaker 1: to April 2025. She used the company to submit more
- 45:37Speaker 1: than $ 9 million, $ 9 million in fraudulent hospice claims, which
- 45:44Speaker 1: paid to Medicare, which paid more than $ 8. 5 million to
- 45:48Speaker 1: on those claims. Notice, by the way, that's the Biden
- 45:50Speaker 1: administration that gave her a crap ton of your money.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Through Topanga, that's the hospice that she has, through that
- 46:01Speaker 1: hospice facility, Minard billed Medicare for hospice services for beneficiaries
- 46:06Speaker 1: who were not terminally ill. Numerous beneficiaries had common addresses
- 46:10Speaker 1: and lived far from the facility, which is consistent with
- 46:13Speaker 1: being recruited by marketers. The investigation further revealed that Minard
- 46:18Speaker 1: paid kickbacks to beneficiaries who and marketers for the referral
- 46:22Speaker 1: of purported hospice patients to a company. We saw the
- 46:25Speaker 1: same thing in Minneapolis. Remember this? In Minneapolis with the
- 46:30Speaker 1: autism scam, the Feeding Our Future scam, what was happening
- 46:35Speaker 1: was Somali immigrants were stealing billions of dollars from the
- 46:40Speaker 1: American taxpayer, and then they would give kickbacks to families
- 46:43Speaker 1: who would pretend to have an autistic child in order
- 46:46Speaker 1: to make sure that they could keep the money flowing
- 46:49Speaker 1: and nobody would rat them out. That's the way they
- 46:52Speaker 1: were operating. One beneficiary couple was approached at a market
- 46:55Speaker 1: about signing up. They were then visited at home by
- 46:57Speaker 1: Minard and three other of her employees who promised them
- 47:01Speaker 1: if they signed up, everything would be free and they
- 47:03Speaker 1: would each receive $ 300 per month. The money was delivered
- 47:08Speaker 1: in an envelope in cash, $ 600 per month for six months.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Neither beneficiary stated that they even had a terminal illness,
- 47:15Speaker 1: which their physician confirmed. The hospice facility, this one, had
- 47:21Speaker 1: a non-death discharge rate of approximately 85%. Let me put
- 47:25Speaker 1: that differently. In other words, they had a mortality rate
- 47:27Speaker 1: of 15%. But the non-death discharge rate from the hospice
- 47:32Speaker 1: was 85%. That's nearly five times the national average of 17.2%.
- 47:37Speaker 6: 17.2%.
- 47:37Speaker 1: Again, put differently. If someone goes in the hospice They
- 47:47Speaker 1: only have a 17.2% chance on average of actually being
- 47:52Speaker 1: discharged from the hospice alive. Most people pass away at
- 47:56Speaker 1: an end of life facility. That's standard. That's normal. But
- 48:00Speaker 1: every so often somebody bounces back and they don't need,
- 48:03Speaker 1: they're not at the end of their life yet. They're
- 48:05Speaker 1: discharged from the hospice facility. They had a non-death discharge
- 48:09Speaker 1: rate of 85%. Again, either it's a miracle or it's
- 48:13Speaker 1: fraud or it's fraud. Then we, of course, had the
- 48:16Speaker 1: case yesterday of USA versus Gill. We just saw that.
- 48:19Speaker 1: We have another one, USA v. Palma, USA v. Tindy Mobuna,
- 48:24Speaker 1: and then USA v. Lauritsen, USA v. Olava Moala, USA v. Sriracha,
- 48:30Speaker 1: USA v. Cartmel, USA v. Griffin, USA v. Coe. Guys,
- 48:36Speaker 1: the Trump administration is moving with aggression against these fraudsters. Now, obviously,
- 48:42Speaker 1: there's always going to be a series of follow-up questions
- 48:44Speaker 1: with something like this. You know, are we going to
- 48:47Speaker 1: take down the Democrats who enabled this from happening? When
- 48:49Speaker 1: do we see Gavin Newsom and the people around him
- 48:51Speaker 1: in handcuffs? When do we see Tampon Tim Walz and
- 48:53Speaker 1: Jacob Fry and Keith Ellison in handcuffs? When do we
- 48:56Speaker 1: get the money back? Can we get the money back?
- 48:59Speaker 1: Those are all perfectly reasonable, good and thoughtful questions. And
- 49:04Speaker 1: the answers, of course, all of them are going to
- 49:05Speaker 1: be complicated. It's like, you know, can we demonstrate that
- 49:08Speaker 1: those guys, those leaders committed crimes? If we can, good,
- 49:12Speaker 1: lock them up. It's within the statute of limitations. Good,
- 49:15Speaker 1: lock them up. Let's get those guys. The other piece
- 49:17Speaker 1: is the money, which is a great question. We've talked
- 49:20Speaker 1: about this before. The feds have disclosed over and over
- 49:22Speaker 1: and over again that it is very hard to get
- 49:25Speaker 1: money back once it is fraudulently stolen. It's very difficult.
- 49:29Speaker 1: And the reason for that is invariably the money's not
- 49:31Speaker 1: often sitting in some random account that they can go
- 49:34Speaker 1: and they can seize. Usually it's been spent. It's been
- 49:38Speaker 1: spent on all sorts of absurd things. Nick Shirley saw this.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Nick Shirley's standing in the middle of a fake hospice
- 49:44Speaker 1: facility with a whole bunch of different places pretending to
- 49:47Speaker 1: be hospices. And in the middle of the parking lot,
- 49:51Speaker 1: You've got Maybachs and BMW M8s and Cybertrucks. You have
- 49:56Speaker 1: all these ridiculously expensive vehicles. And that's because the money's
- 50:01Speaker 1: gone out the door already. It's been spent on luxury goods.
- 50:04Speaker 1: You have beautiful homes that people have purchased. You've got,
- 50:08Speaker 1: which that's an asset you can see. You can see
- 50:10Speaker 1: it's an asset like that. But they also have money
- 50:12Speaker 1: that's been sent to Somalia. It's been sent overseas. It's
- 50:16Speaker 1: very difficult to get that money back once it's been stolen.
- 50:19Speaker 1: which is why this needs to happen in two parts. One,
- 50:22Speaker 1: you prosecute the criminals who have violated our laws and
- 50:25Speaker 1: you lock them up, serving as a massive deterrent from
- 50:28Speaker 1: other fraudsters, other would-be fraudsters stealing our money. And then two,
- 50:32Speaker 1: you prevent it from happening in the first place. You
- 50:35Speaker 1: become better at auditing the way U.S. taxpayer dollars go
- 50:39Speaker 1: out the door. This is what President Trump's been talking about.
- 50:42Speaker 1: President Trump's being attacked this week for saying that we
- 50:45Speaker 1: shouldn't be spending money on these programs where there's no oversight.
- 50:50Speaker 1: He's always being attacked. So that's like saying that it's
- 50:53Speaker 1: a day that ends in Y. But my point is simple,
- 50:57Speaker 1: that this should be localized. The federal taxpayers shouldn't be
- 51:00Speaker 1: on the hook for these programs that have no oversight
- 51:03Speaker 1: and tremendous amounts of money going out the door. How
- 51:05Speaker 1: about no? How about no more of that? If a
- 51:08Speaker 1: state wants to run some sort of local support program,
- 51:11Speaker 1: let them. That should be on local taxpayers in that state.
- 51:14Speaker 1: It shouldn't be on all American taxpayers. Get it as
- 51:16Speaker 1: close to the people as possible, those kinds of public
- 51:19Speaker 1: assistance programs. And that way they can hold their people
- 51:23Speaker 1: accountable inside of their states. That's the way this should work.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Because the way the current system is working is not
- 51:29Speaker 1: a disaster, which is why J.D. Vance, the Vice President
- 51:32Speaker 1: of the United States, has to get involved. This is
- 51:35Speaker 1: why he has to run it personally. And this is
- 51:38Speaker 1: not a small thing. I mean, you think about what
- 51:40Speaker 1: it means for his future. He's one of the guys
- 51:43Speaker 1: that President Trump clearly favors as the kind of guy
- 51:46Speaker 1: who can carry on his legacy in 2028. Both he
- 51:49Speaker 1: and Marco Rubio, obviously, are at the center of that conversation.
- 51:53Speaker 1: And according to them, you know, they're best of friends.
- 51:55Speaker 1: There's reports that the two of them will probably actually
- 51:58Speaker 1: run together, which could be wonderful for the country. I
- 52:00Speaker 1: think that the two of them run together. But this
- 52:03Speaker 1: is a very high stakes thing for both of them.
- 52:06Speaker 1: But neither of them are doing easy jobs. They're not
- 52:09Speaker 1: doing mail it in jobs, not doing like like meaningless things.
- 52:13Speaker 1: They're doing the biggest things our country could possibly need
- 52:16Speaker 1: from them. And they're having success. J.D. Vance. yesterday posting
- 52:22Speaker 1: to X, our task force isn't wasting any time cracking
- 52:24Speaker 1: down on fraud. This morning in the LA area, federal
- 52:27Speaker 1: law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole over $ 50
- 52:30Speaker 1: million from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Thank you to Dr. Oz and thank you to U.S.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Attorney Asseli for their work, says the vice president. But he's, again,
- 52:41Speaker 1: running this operation directly from the White House, as Bill Asseli,
- 52:45Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice, were emphasizing yesterday. So
- 52:49Speaker 1: that's That's great to see. That's really great to see.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Finally today, I want to share some good news with
- 52:55Speaker 1: you for America's troops. Pete Hegstaff is the Secretary of War.
- 53:02Speaker 1: And one of the realities of the time in which
- 53:05Speaker 1: we're living in is that the left thinks that law-abiding
- 53:10Speaker 1: citizens who own guns is a bad thing. They don't
- 53:14Speaker 1: want you to own guns. The only people the left
- 53:16Speaker 1: is interested in owning guns are the government and criminals.
- 53:20Speaker 1: But law abiding citizens, they're trying to deprive you of
- 53:22Speaker 1: that in a big way. And one of the ways
- 53:26Speaker 1: the left has led a full on assault on your
- 53:28Speaker 1: rights through the years is by attacking one of the
- 53:32Speaker 1: great and traditional institutions in our country on a routine basis.
- 53:35Speaker 1: And that's the American military. The left has always had
- 53:38Speaker 1: a special animosity for the military. They don't like that
- 53:41Speaker 1: it's a merit based system. They don't like much about
- 53:44Speaker 1: the fact that we have men and women who who
- 53:49Speaker 1: volunteer to serve their country, who carry weapons on behalf
- 53:53Speaker 1: of this country, who represent an honorable culture and who,
- 53:59Speaker 1: you know, who have instilled in them a sense of
- 54:02Speaker 1: great pride and patriotism in their country. The military has
- 54:04Speaker 1: always been a source of of real annoyance to the
- 54:10Speaker 1: American left, which is why they're constantly leading assaults on it.
- 54:12Speaker 1: And they're constantly trying to infuse their own destructive ideology
- 54:16Speaker 1: into it. It's why wokeism has made appearances in the military.
- 54:20Speaker 1: It's why they've tried to diminish the value of, say,
- 54:23Speaker 1: Christian chaplains in the military or injected atheism into it.
- 54:29Speaker 1: The left has had a long stream of attacks on
- 54:32Speaker 1: the military. And Pete Hegseth has been working to fight
- 54:35Speaker 1: back against all of them. And overnight, we just got
- 54:39Speaker 1: an update from Pete Hegseth that he is restoring gun
- 54:42Speaker 1: rights to troops on American military bases. That's right. The
- 54:48Speaker 1: troops can now keep their personal weapons with them. Here's
- 54:53Speaker 1: the Secretary of War explaining his decision. Watch.
- 54:57Speaker 7: Our great republic was founded on a simple yet bold idea.
- 55:02Speaker 7: Our rights as citizens are not granted to us by government.
- 55:07Speaker 7: but instead by God. 250 years ago, the Revolutionary War
- 55:12Speaker 7: was fought to secure our God-given rights. The Second Amendment
- 55:18Speaker 7: to our Constitution enshrines the right of all citizens to
- 55:22Speaker 7: carry weapons to protect themselves, their families, and their fellow countrymen.
- 55:28Speaker 7: The War Department's uniformed service members are trained at the
- 55:31Speaker 7: highest and unwavering standards. These warfighters, entrusted with the safety
- 55:36Speaker 7: of our nation, are no less entitled to exercise their
- 55:40Speaker 7: God-given right to keep and bear arms than any other American.
- 55:45Speaker 7: Our warfighters defend the right of others to carry. They
- 55:49Speaker 7: should be able to carry themselves. Recent events like what
- 55:52Speaker 7: happened at Fort Stewart, Holloman Air Force Base, or Pensacola
- 55:56Speaker 7: Naval Air Station have made clear that some threats are
- 55:59Speaker 7: closer to home than we would like. In these instances,
- 56:03Speaker 7: minutes are a lifetime, and our service members have the
- 56:06Speaker 7: courage and training to make those precious short minutes count.
- 56:11Speaker 7: Before today, it was virtually impossible, most people probably don't
- 56:15Speaker 7: know this, it was virtually impossible for War Department personnel
- 56:19Speaker 7: to get permission to carry and store their own personal
- 56:22Speaker 7: weapons aligned with the state laws where we operate our installations.
- 56:26Speaker 7: I mean, effectively, Our bases across the country were gun-free zones.
- 56:32Speaker 7: Unless you're training or unless you are a military policeman,
- 56:36Speaker 7: you couldn't carry, you couldn't bring your own firearm for
- 56:38Speaker 7: your own personal protection on to post. Well, that's no longer.
- 56:43Speaker 7: The memo I'm signing today directs installation commanders to allow
- 56:47Speaker 7: requests for personal protection to carry a privately owned firearm
- 56:52Speaker 7: with the presumption that it is necessary for personal protection.
- 56:57Speaker 7: If a request is for some reason denied, the reason
- 57:00Speaker 7: for that denial will be in writing and will explain
- 57:02Speaker 7: in detail the basis for that direction. Again, the presumption
- 57:05Speaker 7: is service members will be able to have their Second
- 57:09Speaker 7: Amendment right on post. Not all enemies are foreign, nor
- 57:13Speaker 7: are they all outside our borders.
- 57:15Speaker 1: Some are domestic.
- 57:16Speaker 7: Confirming your God-given right to self-protection is what I'm signing
- 57:20Speaker 7: into action today, and I'm proud to do so.
- 57:25Speaker 1: Love that. Look at him. He's signing right now on
- 57:27Speaker 1: the video. With a Trump-style Sharpie that I can hear
- 57:35Speaker 1: in the background. That's very cool. There's Pete Hegseth restoring
- 57:38Speaker 1: gun rights to the people who are well-trained on using
- 57:42Speaker 1: those guns and now can protect themselves. And as he
- 57:46Speaker 1: pointed out, you know, minutes can be a lifetime in
- 57:49Speaker 1: a chaotic moment. You need to be able to protect
- 57:51Speaker 1: yourself and the people around you, you know, when seconds count.
- 57:55Speaker 1: The police are minutes away. Americans have a right to
- 57:59Speaker 1: defend themselves. And Pete Hexeth restores it to members of
- 58:03Speaker 1: the military now. Wonderful to see. It's wonderful to see you.
- 58:07Speaker 1: I'm so happy. Thank you for everything you've helped make
- 58:10Speaker 1: this show become. It's a success beyond my wildest dreams.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I'm very thankful for you this Holy Week. It is
- 58:16Speaker 1: Good Friday today. For those who observe it, I just
- 58:20Speaker 1: want to wish you a blessed Good Friday. It's just
- 58:22Speaker 1: such a wonderful, wonderful time of year. I am going
- 58:25Speaker 1: to be back with you next week. We've got a
- 58:28Speaker 1: big week ahead. So much to get to. I've got
- 58:31Speaker 1: the Virginia governor, the former Virginia governor, George Allen, is
- 58:34Speaker 1: going to join me on Monday. We're going to talk
- 58:37Speaker 1: about this big Virginia special election that's going on, this referendum.
- 58:41Speaker 1: The left is trying to rig Virginia's congressional seats right now.
- 58:45Speaker 1: And if Virginians can stop it, and there's a lot
- 58:47Speaker 1: of energy right now to stop it, thank you. Thank
- 58:49Speaker 1: you to every one of you who voted no so far.
- 58:52Speaker 1: You have until April 21st to do it. George Allen,
- 58:55Speaker 1: the former governor, is going to join me on Monday.
- 58:56Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this because he wants to
- 58:58Speaker 1: debate with Abigail Spanberger about this. Now, I don't think
- 59:01Speaker 1: he's going to get it, but he wants it because
- 59:04Speaker 1: he wants to prove how disgraceful this election rigging operation is.
- 59:08Speaker 1: We'll talk to the former governor about this. on Monday
- 59:11Speaker 1: as we keep pushing to save America. And we've got
- 59:14Speaker 1: a lot more to get to. As always, I hope
- 59:16Speaker 1: you have a fantastic weekend. Thanks for being here with me.
- 59:20Speaker 1: The best audience anywhere. Have a wonderful Easter. Have an
- 59:23Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful Easter. I'll talk to you Monday.
