Is there really a trillion dollars a year in federal fraud? Why is Minnesota at the center of a $259 million Medicaid freeze? And could cracking down on fraud actually balance the federal budget? Today on AmperWave Daily — the administration says it's going after massive Medicaid fraud. Critics call it political retribution. The numbers being tossed around? Half a trillion… even a trillion dollars a year. Let's break it down.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach examines migration trends out of high-tax states and uses them to reflect on deeper questions about government, responsibility, and worldview. He contrasts cultural expectations of what government should provide with a biblical framework that assigns different roles to institutions like family, church, and state. The conversation ultimately points listeners toward placing their hope not in political systems, but in God's ability to change hearts and shape a flourishing society.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

On this week's episode of Mining the Media, we tackle the growing cultural and economic consequences of governance, policy, and worldview. We open with two major developments shaping the national conversation — the Kansas legislature overriding a gubernatorial veto to affirm biological reality in state law, and emerging investigative reporting from John Solomon suggesting potential international interference in the 2020 election. From there, we move into the central theme of the show: "Blue State Bleeding." Using the biblical principle of Galatians 6:7 — "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" — we examine what happens when policies, regulation, and cultural direction begin producing measurable economic outcomes. We break down: Boeing relocating defense leadership back to St. Louis The Chicago Bears pursuing a stadium move from Illinois to Indiana Population migration trends across the country The ripple effects of corporate and institutional relocation Are these isolated headlines — or signs of a broader harvest? We close with a reminder that institutions, like individuals, eventually live under the consequences of the seeds they plant.

With headlines declaring the end of climate extremism and federal withdrawals from global climate bodies making waves, many are celebrating what looks like a turning point. But is it really over?In this episode, David R. Legates argues that while the federal government may be stepping back, the climate agenda is far from defeated. From sweeping state-level “NetZero” mandates to massive electrification plans, offshore wind expansion, hydrogen schemes, and the redesign of entire communities, the push for decarbonization is accelerating closer to home.Drawing on personal experiences from the final days of the Soviet Union, Legates offers a sobering reminder: ideologies rarely disappear—they adapt. Climate alarmism, he contends, is no exception.Before we celebrate victory, we need to ask a harder question: Are we winning the battle, while losing the war?Visit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

We should be helping our elderly, number one and two. We should be helping our veterans.” Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: How Massachusetts is a testing ground for Democratic strategies Examining the rapid wealth accumulation by members of Congress Why the Democrats are political hypocrites regarding wealth and messaging Government leaders abusing insider information and ethical boundaries Bloated State budgets and fraudulent government spending Rising utility costs and resident migration to other states Boston City Council proposals ignoring the needs of the elderly, homeless and veterans Misuse of SNAP and other public welfare benefits Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

A suspect caught on a supposed "non-working" video camera was released in the Nancy Guthrie case, a detainment that led nowhere, and the local Tucson Sheriff Department is back at square one. Meanwhile, while the mainstream media obsesses over the Guthrie case, a mass shooting by a transgender in Canda got zero news and a mass shooting in which a 7-year-old child died in Mississippi also got zero attention. Why?

I break down how Trump's retreat on immigration enforcement — refusing to invoke the Insurrection Act, pulling ICE from hostile blue states, and parroting Democrat talking points about “non-criminal” illegal labor — has emboldened blue-state insurrection while completely neutralizing red states. Now blue states will impose this tyranny on us in red states when they take over at the federal level, but thanks to Trump's bad endorsements, we will not have the infrastructure to fight Democrat tyranny the way blue states are successfully thwarting Trump. I also show how Trump is championing federal supremacy on all the wrong issues like gun control, AI, and land use, but not on immigration.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans' favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event. Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation's defining national tragedy until the  9/11 terrorist attacks.Please visit our great sponsors:Try QUO for free, PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you visit https://Quo.com/3MLTake your personal data back with Incogni.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we start with a look at yesterday's census analysis that indicates Democratic strongholds New York and California are expected to lose a massive amount of DC voting power after 2030 as hundreds of thousands of residents flee high costs driven by decades of leftist policy-making. Also the greed and jealousy of the liberal left, the need for due process for ICE agents in Minnesota and remembering the great blizzard in Buffalo, NY of 1977.

Minnesota and Illinois are suing the Trump administration to slow down or reshape ICE operations—using the language of federalism and constitutional rights to challenge how immigration law is enforced. Todd Huff breaks down what these lawsuits are really arguing (administrative warrants, “sensitive locations,” and claims of political retaliation), and why the bigger story is a sudden left-wing “concern” for federalism only when enforcement shows up in blue jurisdictions. He also revisits Arizona v. United States and explains the difference between civil immigration removal and criminal conviction—plus why enforcement isn't “punishment,” it's the federal government doing its job.

The great and powerful President Donald J. Trump engaged with the press in a lengthy “gaggle” with reporters on his Air Force One flight from Mar-a-Lago back to the White House yesterday, and covered a wide breadth of topics—Greenland, Cuba, Columbia, Somalians, Chicago crime, Gavin Newsom, and more!--with deep implications for the nation and the world.

As we roll into the midterms, the Democrats are already rolling out "Affordability" as a key battle cry. Well, the facts show that the average blue state pays an estimated 37% more for electricity than the average red state.This podcast went out on the Energy Impacts Podcast with David Blackmon and the Energy News Beat Podcast with Stu Turley. Tom Pyle, the CEO of the Institute for Energy Research, lays out the article linked below, and it is very clear. Energy Policies account for the greatest increases in energy costs.The main topics discussed in this podcast are:1. Electricity and energy prices in the United States, particularly the higher costs in "blue" (Democratic-leaning) states compared to "red" (Republican-leaning) states. The transcript discusses a report by the Institute for Energy Research called "Blue States High Rates" that analyzes this trend.2. The impact of renewable energy policies and mandates, such as renewable portfolio standards, on electricity prices. The transcript argues that these policies, combined with the forced closure of traditional baseload power sources like coal and nuclear, have driven up costs in certain states.3. The challenges faced by states like California and New York in maintaining reliable and affordable energy supplies due to their aggressive climate and renewable energy policies. The transcript discusses issues like the closure of refineries, reliance on imported energy, and the difficulties in building new natural gas pipelines.4. The role of the federal government, particularly the Trump administration, in energy policy decisions and their impact on electricity prices. This includes topics like the EPA's endangerment finding and the potential benefits of rescinding it.5. The broader political and ideological divide between "red" and "blue" states on energy and climate policy, and how this translates into differences in electricity affordability for consumers.Check out the Substack article https://blackmon.substack.com/01:25 Intro to the main topic of Blue State and High Rates02:23 Tom Pyle, breaks down the report07:16 Wind and solar in Texas08:43 Graphic on costs in blue vs. red states14:25 transmission lines and costs17:24 California and its Energy Crisis21:02 Energy Policy defines electricity rates26:54 Jones Act and LNG Tankers37:33 Carbon Taxes and Net Zero#energynewsbeat #netzero #democrats Connect with Tom on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasjpyle/Check out the IER Institute for Energy Research https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/the-grid/blue-states-high-rates/

Fraud in Blue States isn't random. It follows the same money pipeline every time.

Which state is the fraud capital of America? California or Minnesota? That’s the question today as two deep-blue states race to the bottom in a competition no one should want to win. We start in California, where the state auditor just dropped a devastating report, flagging eight major state agencies as “high risk” for waste, fraud, abuse, and outright mismanagement. Billions of taxpayer dollars, little accountability, and a system that seems engineered to fail while politicians pat themselves on the back and ask for more money. Then we turn to Minnesota, where investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposes another blue-state disaster—fraud schemes so blatant they look almost cartoonish. From taxpayer-funded programs turned into personal piggy banks to officials asleep at the wheel, Minnesota is making a serious run at stealing California’s crown. Two states. Same ideology. Same results.Exploding budgets. Vanishing money. No consequences. Today we break down how California and Minnesota are competing for the title of worst-run, most fraud-ridden state in America, and why this isn’t bad luck—it’s the predictable outcome of one-party rule and zero accountability.

In breaking news, a 6-3 Supreme Court, including 3 of the MAGA right wing, have ruled AGAINST Trump and his method to federalize and take over Blue State national guard troops, and have found, in essence, that unless he uses the Insurrection Act, and then uses the US armed forces first to quell violence, he won't be able to breach state sovereignty and take over state militias and put them to his own use. Michael Popok also takes a close look at Justice Kavanaugh's “concurrence” that not only reads like a dissent, but also trolls the American people with a rewrite of the history of the Jan6 attack on the Capitol to suit his pro-president/Trump jurisprudence.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The Education Department outlined examples of what is considered a “substantial illegal purpose”: violating federal anti-discrimination laws, aiding or abetting illegal immigration, supporting terrorism, trafficking children, or participating in violence during protests, as well as chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children...

The Trump DOJ tells a federal judge to “F-off” again, this time in sworn declarations in a criminal contempt proceeding. NY AG Tish James is on the verge of getting a second US Attorney handpicked by Trump fired by a federal judge, as a grand jury stands up to the Trump DOJ. Ghislaine Maxwell may have just lost her lawyer, as a federal judge in Florida orders more Epstein files released. The Supreme Court may have opened the door to new congressional maps again, but given a clear path for Blue States to outmaneuver MAGA at its own game, and create more Dem new seats than MAGA. The Supreme Court can't help itself but to wade into another core Constitutional Right, this time about birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
