In this episode, Lisa welcomes Brian Blase, President of Paragon Health Institute, to break down the evolving state of Obamacare and what enhanced subsidies mean for the future of healthcare in the United States. The conversation explores the growing irony of the Affordable Care Act, the difficulty of reforming an increasingly complex system, and the rising concerns around fraud, abuse, and government-driven cost inflation. Blase examines why premiums remain high, how subsidies distort the market, and what real solutions could rein in spending while improving patient care. The Truth with Lisa Boothe is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A suspect has now been arrested in connection with the pipe bombs that were planted near the DNC building just ahead of the January 6 riot.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump rolling back Joe Biden's fuel-economy mandates on automakers, a stunning new report on widespread Obamacare fraud, and Gov. Gavin Newsom's push to tax former California residents to plug his state's massive budget deficit.First, they applaud President Trump for scrapping the Biden administration's burdensome fuel-economy standards. The move will likely lower costs and will almost certainly save lives. Jim and Greg unload on Democrats who want to limit our choices on the vehicles we drive and in other areas of life.Next, they groan as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the government accepted 100 percent of fraudulent Obamacare exchange applications that the GAO submitted as part of its investigation. In addition, the actual Obamacare fraud happening in the system is costing taxpayers billions of dollars and much of it happens when applicants use the Social Security numbers of dead people.Finally, they laugh as California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempts to fix his state's budget disaster by taxing people who have already moved away. Jim turns to a classic song to underscore how absurd the idea is, and he hopes someone sues the state if lawmakers actually pass the plan.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  For a limited time, try OneSkin for 15% off with code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co/3ML — please support our show and mention we sent you!New episodes every weekday. 

We've all heard the Democrat talking points ad nauseam—from the Epstein files to Obamacare, from Trump's health and MRI to inflation, affordability, and Biden-era policies.  But what's the strategy behind focusing so heavily on their GOP opponents instead of the bigger picture? Victor Davis Hanson says it's “just an excuse for the lack of a serious agenda”—and Democrat voters don't seem to mind. Hanson breaks down these Democrat narratives and what it means for 2026 and beyond on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Do they say, ‘Here's my alternate plan for immigration. I want one million, two million, three million illegal. I want to go back to the Biden [administration] , two million illegal aliens a year'? No, nothing. ‘Obamacare: Here's how we're going to solve it so we don't need subsidies. A, B, C.' Nothing.” (0:00) Introduction (0:24) The Epstein Files Controversy (0:07) Obamacare and Government Shutdowns (3:03) Trump's Health and Media Narratives (3:52) Affordability and Economic Policies (5:00) Lack of Democratic Initiatives (6:55) Conclusion

From shocking arrests to holiday celebrations, today's episode is packed with breaking news, fraud exposés, and festive fun!

From shocking arrests to explosive fraud revelations, this episode covers it all!

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin did it again! For a couple of hours today. The U.S. Institute of Peace has been renamed as the U.S. Institute of Irony. The Department of Defense is now Pete Hic! Hegseth's House of Murders.  Hungover from the fog of war, Hegseth immediately initiated a strategic inverted retrograde disengagement maneuver, tossing Admiral Alvin Holsey overboard. Admiral Frank "Mitch" Bradley is next in line and is scheduled to fall on his sword at approximately 14:00 today. Palantir is scheduled to make more money at that time. Republicans in Revolt! Gops brandishing torches, pitchforks and discharge petitions seek to topple Mike Johnson. Well, they really want Trump, but he scares them and no one is scared of Mike. Gop women feel the most rage, but don't want to come off sounding woke, or... feminist. No, Elise Stefanik will NOT lower her voice. Henry Cuellar shows that it's so easy to play Trump into a pardon, even a Democrat can do it. In the ACA debate, Gops propose Obamacare, but bad. Dems counterproposal is Obamacare, but longer. The pendulum is swinging back, right on time for the midterms. Except that no other president has been this disliked. The economy has rarely hit this many, especially against those constituents of the party in power. And that party in power has probably has never sucked this hard, nor have they promised to learn so little from their mistakes. Vladimir Putin continues to humiliate Donald K. Trump, but that's only because Trump demands to be humiliated. They finally arrested some guy for placing pipe bombs ahead of January 6, and the guy that they arrested is not Marge, sadly lowering the chance that she might go to prison, on that charge.

A 30 year-old man from Woodbridge, Virginia is arrested and charged in the FBI's investigation of pipe bombs placed outside the Republican and Democratic party headquarters on the eve of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol; A Navy admiral tells lawmakers Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not issue a "kill them all" order against a suspected drug-carrying boat in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela in September, but Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), Intelligence Committee ranking member, says the video he saw of a second strike against survivors is "deeply, deeply troubling"; President Donald Trump hosts a peace signing ceremony in Washington with the presidents of Rwanda and Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he also promotes mineral exploration in those countries; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says Democrats will put up for a vote next week a clean 3 year extension of expiring Obamacare health insurance enhanced premium subsidies; bipartisan group of House Members release their own health care reform plan; Senate votes to overturn the Biden Administration's limits on oil & gas drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge; Muhammad Ali's widow, Lonnie Ali, testifies at a Congressional hearing on reforming the sport of boxing; President Trump & First Lady Melania Trump attend the National Christmas Tree Lighting.

Your host Jonathan Viaud sits down for an exclusive interview with Dr. Gold, CEO of Goldcare.com, founder of the civil liberties organization America's Frontline Doctors, and an official endorser of Convention of States Action. Jon asks Dr. Gold about her fight for medical freedom, how Obamacare has changed healthcare for the worse in America, why Article V and Convention of States is the answer. Dr. Gold graduated from Chicago Medical School prior to earning a Juris Doctorate at Stanford University Law School, and served minority communities as an emergency room doctor for over 20 years, all without a single complaint of malpractice. Dr. Gold is familiar with the inner workings of government policy and procedure, as she has worked for the U.S. Surgeon General, as well as for the former chairman of the U.S. Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. She is also the author of the book 'Selective Persecution: The Legalization of American Fascism.'

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss the announcement that only one house has been rebuilt since wildfires devastated the Pacific Palisades in Southern California, as Los Angeles city officials continue to block reconstruction efforts. Also, which party will pay the political price if there is no compromise on continuing Obamacare subsidies before the end of the year? Then, Reagan Institute Policy Director Rachel Hoff joins Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon to discuss a new poll from the Institute on American attitudes toward foreign policy issues, including support for NATO and Ukraine and views on the role of artificial intelligence in the U.S. military. And then, Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Turning Point USA's public reaction to Candace Owens, who has spread conspiracy theories about the assassination of Charlie Cook, and Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff's invitation to Owens to appear on a special program dedicated to answering her accusations. Also, a new poll from the Media Research Center shows that only 24 percent of respondents correctly described Kirk's alleged assassin as holding left-wing views..

In this episode of Now I Get It, I take you into the subtle—but dangerous—world of paltry: the art of lying by telling nothing but the truth. Through stories pulled from literature, current events, and political reporting, I show how selective truth-telling can create powerful false impressions without ever crossing the line into an outright lie. It's a communication tactic hiding in plain sight, and once you see it, you start noticing it everywhere.I share examples from Pride and Prejudice, the Ghislaine Maxwell/Jeffrey Epstein media coverage, and recent reporting on healthcare legislation and government shutdowns. Together, we unpack how missing context can distort public understanding, why accountability in storytelling matters, and how we as consumers of information can learn to recognize when we're being told “the truth”—but not the whole truth.In this episode, you will learn:(00:30) How “paltry” allows someone to lie while saying only true things(01:05) How Wickham misleads Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice(02:30) How media reporting on Epstein and Maxwell omitted essential context(03:45) Why “repeal and replace Obamacare” was always a misleading claim(05:30) How government shutdown coverage distorted both parties' roles(07:20) How to spot selective truth-telling in everyday newsLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Dean Clancy, Senior Health Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, to break down the major health care wins inside the One Big Beautiful Bill passed this summer. Dean explains how the bill expands access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), allowing millions more Americans to save tax-free for health care. Even more exciting — HSA funds can now be used for Direct Primary Care (DPC) subscriptions and telehealth, giving families easier, more affordable access to their preferred doctors without insurance gatekeeping. Dean also highlights key reforms in Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies, what's still needed to deliver true hassle-free health care, and how AFP's Personal Option campaign continues to push for more freedom and affordability in the health system. If you want to understand how the new law impacts your wallet—and why it's a major victory for health care freedom—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Washington is full of both. Yesterday, Stigall was on Capitol Hill talking with the former. Members of the House's Republican Study Committee. Their objective was to message to you that first, they have an agenda they believe is working and two, they're not done. It's ultimately up to you if you like what you hear or not. We'll have bonus content coming later in the week featuring even more members who didn't make it today's show. Today, you'll hear Rep. Tom Emmer go OFF on his governor Tim Walz, Rep. Eric Burlison with a real idea to fix Obamacare, and Rep. August Pfluger of Texas explains what the RSC is all about. Plus, are Crisis Pregnancy Centers targets of New Jersey government? Sure seems that way and it seems like that what Justice Clarence Thomas thought. Hear his aggressive line of question directed at New Jersey's Attorney General's office, and Carrie Severino of the Judicial Network explains the case in full. Plus, the governor of West Virginia updates us on the health of the surviving Guardsman and the two grieving families in his state after they were ambushed by a terrorist on the streets of Washington D.C.

Today's Headlines: Republican Matt Van Epps narrowly won Tennessee's special election, which is… not exactly a flex for the GOP given the district. Meanwhile, Trump went on a full midnight Truth Social bender — 150 posts of pure nonsense — including a retweet of Kristi Noem calling for a “full travel ban” on basically whoever she feels like. He kept the chaos going at a two-hour Cabinet meeting where he bragged about his cognitive test, nodded off, and let Noem announce immigration crackdowns in Minnesota's Somali community. Pete Hegseth used his time to deny ordering the killing of survivors of U.S. boat strikes and promised more strikes off Venezuela, as a Signalgate review is set to be released. Kash Patel didn't fare much better in the news cycle, a leaked 115-page report from FBI veterans called the bureau under him a fear-soaked disaster run by a guy who once refused to leave a plane until someone found him a properly patched FBI jacket. In more anit-immigration adjacent news, Brooke Rollins is threatening to pause SNAP funds for states refusing to share immigrant data. Sabrina Carpenter, however, wants zero association with ICE after they used her music in a raid montage. And like we all knew would happen, Senate Republicans appear to have abandoned the plan to extend Obamacare subsidies before premiums spike in January (shocking). Finally, billionaire Michael Dell and his wife are tossing $6.25 billion into “Trump accounts” for kids, while Treasury kicks in $1,000 for children born during Trump's term, and Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff spent four hours in the Kremlin with Putin discussing their ever-mutating “peace plan.”  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: NBC News: Tennessee House Special Election 2025 Live Results: Matt Van Epps Wins, NBC News Projects The Independent: Trump goes on late-night social media rant demanding Democrats who spoke out on military justice be jailed NYT: Kristi Noem Recommends New Travel Ban After National Guard Shooting Axios: ICE coming for Minneapolis after Trump targets Somalis CNN: Fact check: Trump delivers long list of false claims at Cabinet meeting Axios: Scoop: Pentagon's internal "Signalgate" review sent to Congress Yahoo: Kash Patel Justifies Jacket Meltdown by Saying He Wanted a Kid's Size Axios: SNAP benefits at risk as states resist Trump immigration data demands AP News: Sabrina Carpenter and Franklin the Turtle publisher condemn Trump administration's use of their work AP News: Chances dwindling for renewal of health care subsidies, risking premium spikes for millions WaPo: Dell CEO pledges $6 billion to ‘Trump accounts' for American children Axios: Witkoff and Kushner met Putin for five hours on Ukraine plan Telegraph: Putin: We're ready for war with Europe Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

Congress faces an impending deadline as lawmakers confront the year-end expiration of Obamacare tax credits and renewed battles over healthcare reform. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) joins the Rundown to discuss the expiration of Obamacare tax credits and the debate around reform. Plus, his proposal to make individuals the consumers of healthcare rather than insurance companies, and the ongoing operations by the US military off the coast of Venezuela targeting suspected drug trafficking boats.The Trump administration is ready to roll out new limits on asylum seekers, refugee processing, and even green card reviews after a suspected radicalized Afghan national was charged in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. President Trump and Homeland Security officials say the move is part of an effort to tighten vetting and shift the burden of proof for those already in the U.S., including refugees admitted during the Biden years. Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) director and current Senior Fellow for Homeland Security, joins the Rundown to explain what these new rules mean for Afghan refugees and immigration policy heading into the new year.

Representative Jodey Arrington, Chairman of the House Budget Committee and Congressman for Texas' 19th District, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the affordability crisis gripping American families. Benson and Arrington detailed the ongoing debate between Democrats and Republicans over who's responsible for the economic mess we're facing. Arrington emphasized that Republicans are currently digging themselves out of a Democrat-caused hole, and why Trump's rhetoric on the issue is regarding the Democrats' hijacking of language around the issue that Americans are facing. Arrington also discussed the shocking massive fraud and the lack of oversight in Obamacare subsidies, as he says that more than 60,000 deceased individuals are still receiving benefits. Furthermore, Arrington stressed the need for real healthcare reform and why Republicans must be prepared to use reconciliation to deliver on Trump's agenda and make America more affordable before next year's midterms.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—   Number One— Health Savings accounts are gaining traction on Capital Hill—as Obamacare is floundering and providing less and less healthcare for more and more money—   Number Two— Meanwhile speaking of the economy—President Trump says he has another idea to super charge the money in peoples pockets—eliminate income taxes altogether—and I mean hallelujah—   Number Three— The war of words keeps heating up on the war on narco terrorist boats on the open ocean getting vaporized by the US military—

Back in August, during an interview on Plain Talk, North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread said that Congress needed to renew subsidies for Obamacare marketplace policies to avoid a "death spiral" in the insurance market brought on by younger, healthier shoppers reacting to price spikes by giving up their policies. Well, it's December now. The year is almost over, and Congress hasn't acted. Not only have subsidies not been renewed, majority Republicans haven't even unveiled a plan to address that specific problem, or the larger challenge of spiraling health care and health insurance rates. On this episode of Plain Talk, Shelly Ten Napel, CEO of the Community HealthCare Association of the Dakotas, said many of the tens of thousands of families in our region that get their insurance through the federal marketplace could end up paying twice as much. "So, without the enhanced premium tax credits, your percent goes up to 9.16 for that family of four, which is $672 a month," she said. So, it's more than double 363 to um 672. And your annual for the year would be over $8,000." Ten Napel echoed Godfread's point about the "death spiral," pointiing out that younger and healthier insurance customers would probably react rationally to these sort of massive price hikes by leaving the market. "What we would expect is that probably healthy people will be the first people to drop coverage. So, those younger individuals, those people without current chronic conditions," she said. This would mean that "our risk pool's going to get sicker and so the costs are going to go up for everybody." Ten Napel said that, even as Congress wallows in dysfunction on this issue and others, there are things states like North Dakota can do to address health care, and thus health insurance, costs. More investment in preventative care, for instance, the neglect of which is akin to "refusing to pay for regular oil changes to save money." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the controversy over bonuses in the Retirement and Investment Office, the need for greater transparency when it comes to the economic incentives our state and local governments offer, and the perenially unsuccessful Rick Becker running for elected office, again, in the 2026 cycle.

Congress faces an impending deadline as lawmakers confront the year-end expiration of Obamacare tax credits and renewed battles over healthcare reform. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) joins the Rundown to discuss the expiration of Obamacare tax credits and the debate around reform. Plus, his proposal to make individuals the consumers of healthcare rather than insurance companies, and the ongoing operations by the US military off the coast of Venezuela targeting suspected drug trafficking boats.The Trump administration is ready to roll out new limits on asylum seekers, refugee processing, and even green card reviews after a suspected radicalized Afghan national was charged in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. President Trump and Homeland Security officials say the move is part of an effort to tighten vetting and shift the burden of proof for those already in the U.S., including refugees admitted during the Biden years. Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) director and current Senior Fellow for Homeland Security, joins the Rundown to explain what these new rules mean for Afghan refugees and immigration policy heading into the new year.

With Pres. Trump sending mixed signals on extending ACA subsidies, and Republicans split over the issue, Jonathan Cohn, writer at The Bulwark and the author of The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal Coverage (St. Martin's Press, 2021), talks about the negotiations and where the conflicts lie.

Mary welcomes Kelsey Pritchard to the podcast to talk about her work at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA). Previously, she served in the office of the governor of South Dakota, spending seven years as the administration's communications strategist and press secretary, but now serves as the pro-life organization's first-ever director of state public affairs. Today we look at the year in review from a pro-life vantage point. Starting with Wisconsin’s election of pro abortion activist Susan Crawford, we can look back on a busy year in the war for the heartbeat of tiny Americans. Wisconsin also ruled that their 176 year old life law does not prohibit abortion. What’s next in this swing state for life is yet another Supreme Court election with an abortion ally in 2026. Then we look at the generic Kill Pill that was pushed through by the FDA at the end of September. The battle there is, who is watching out for not just the baby but the mother, with side effects trending upward. Rolling back Biden-era removal of safeguards should be high on the list for HHS secretary RFK, Jr. Finally we look at what that government shutdown was really all about – funding for abortion through Obamacare.

In this episode, we uncover shocking levels of fraud in U.S. healthcare and federal programs, exposing how billions are misdirected and who benefits.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in. Joe Biden continues to kill people even after he left office. The Biden administration allowed many unvetted illegal immigrants into our country, including the ones that have been committing crimes, rapes, murders and more. The loss of one of our D.C. National Guard soldiers and the critical state of another is the result of the failure of the Biden Administration to keep us and our troops safe. Another example was the withdraw from Afghanistan which was wrong and killed many of our heroes, and should have never happened. In addition, the Kremlin is out there saying Putin wants peace talks as meetings kick off in Saudi Arabia—but he keeps talking about “reality on the ground,” which is code for “we're not giving back what we took.” Nevertheless, we must trust in President Trump because he will make sure that this peace deal goes smoothly and that we make sure that there is peace once and for all. Lastly, Republicans in Congress are wrestling with what to do about these Obamacare subsidies that are about to expire. The final decision is going to come down to Trump. The Democrats—what do they do? They take this record-breaking government shutdown and turn it into a political stunt. They're demanding we keep these subsidies going, the same ones Biden pumped up during the pandemic. They're set to vanish by the end of the year. Here's the reality: Republicans know healthcare premiums are shooting through the roof therefore something has to be done.  They don't want to just rubber-stamp Biden's plan and keep these subsidies exactly as they are. That's not reform—that's surrender. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
