RFK Jr. says HHS loses $100,000,000,000 a year to theft. He found some thieves would bribe poor people with flat screen TVs to get their patient numbers and enroll them in hospice. Then they would proceed to bill Medicaid "$6,000 a month FOREVER." RFK JR: "We shut down 800 hospices. You know what a hospice is? Where you're going to die. Typically, if you go to a hospice, you leave within 18 days because your dying is terminal." "We started looking at these hospices in Los Angeles, and the people never died. Two or three years later they were there, and we're paying $6,000 a month." "We found a hotel room with 29 hospices in it. I mean a hotel, every room was a hospice, and none of them had any patients. They were just addresses." "The guys who own them, they were Estonians and Armenians and people from Eastern Europe who were getting the patient numbers. They were stealing them from doctors' offices." "They were also going into poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles and they'd say to the people, 'We'll give you this $375 flat-screen TV. You give us your patient number and we're going to enroll you in this hospice. You don't ever have to go. We're just going to enroll you,' and then we'll charge Medicaid $6,000 a month forever. And the guy never dies, of course, because he was never sick." "We didn't get a single call from a congressman or from a business owner saying, 'Oh, you shut down my hospice and all these patients are on the street.' None of them, because they were all crooked and they knew they were crooked."

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost. "It's a huge, huge tragedy." "One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids." "We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot." "A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves." "So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative." "It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

Tom Brady reveals the brutally honest talk he had with a Michigan sports psychologist that turned him from a benchwarmer into the GOAT. Brady's transformation started with one change: the way he thought. "I sit on the bench my first year, and I really had—I would call it—a lot of self-defeating attitudes and behaviors. I always had an excuse. 'Coach doesn't want me in there.'" "I had a sports psychologist. His name was Greg Harden. I would go into his office every Tuesday, and he would say, 'Tom, I like you. You work hard, but you have a shitty attitude.'" "'How about you start worrying about what you can control and stop talking about the other quarterbacks, stop talking about the coaches not putting you in.'" "If they give you three reps, you do the best with the three you get. Quit bitching about you only getting three or you going in there with the backup receivers. No one cares.'" "'You treat practice like it's a game. If you throw a touchdown in the two-minute in practice, you celebrate like it's the game.'" Brady never approached it that way before. Then "sure enough" everything changed. "Mmy energy started getting way better. I was bringing juice; I had the right attitude." "Then all of a sudden, I'm bringing the juice, man. Every day, boom." "That [mindshift] really helped me get better." The road to 7 Super Bowl rings didn't start on the practice field; it started in that very office…

Billionaire investor Chamath cuts straight through CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin with a raw reality check he doesn't see coming on live TV. Sorkin was pressing the panel on the "empirical math," arguing the economy looks worse since Biden left office. Chamath told him straight up to "thank the lucky stars" that under Trump, we have the luxury to debate economic numbers at all, instead of the "19 pronouns" we used to state before our name. CHAMATH: "I think it's important to take a step back and realize you're making a very specific, numerically grounded comparison about what your opinion of President Trump is." SORKIN: [Defensive] "It's not my opinion." CHAMATH: "I'm just saying you can make a numerical comparison. Imagine if we were sitting here and we'd have to first declare 19 pronouns, and we'd have to talk about the DEI. I'm here because I'm a Sri Lankan immigrant that grew up on welfare. I have to tell you my whole sob story. Where we were going was not a place that was oriented around productivity. It was around THEATER!" SORKIN: "I'm not disagreeing with that." CHAMATH: "I'm saying you have some valid points about where GDP could be or could not be. You should thank the lucky stars that [numbers] are what we're debating right now." SORKIN: "And that's a fair argument on that side, too!"

JD Vance reveals what his family found after his devout, f-bomb loving grandmother died. VANCE: "She was a woman of very devout Christian faith. She loved the f-bomb. "When she died, we discovered 19 loaded handguns in her house. "Not just 19, but 19 spread randomly all over her house. "What the hell did she need with a loaded handgun in the silverware drawer? "She wanted to make sure that no matter where she was, if somebody walked into her house in Middletown, Ohio, she had a loaded handgun within arms reach because she couldn't move around that well." They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

Mike Rowe says he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.” All three have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high. ROWE: “I was in Plano, Texas… got a tour of a data center.” “I ran into three electricians, all under 30, all making north of 240 grand a year, all debt-free.” “Now here’s the craziest part. All three had been poached three times in the prior 18 months.” “The shortages are so acute that the companies don’t have time to train. They have to poach.” “Great news for an electrician. But it’s a little weird for the economy overall.”

Kaitlan Collins can’t hide her frustration on air as Republican congressman dismantles her narrative about ICE being responsible for the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. She came armed with emotions. He came armed with the one fact CNN hasn’t wanted to talk about: COLLINS: “On Alex Pretti and Renee Good… ICE shouldn’t have been in the situation, certainly with Alex Pretti, where he wasn’t touching his weapon. I mean, you can watch the video. He’s down on the ground, and they’re still firing.” MIKE LAWLER: “No, no, you’re missing the point.” COLLINS: “[Visibly annoyed] No, I’m not missing the point.” LAWLER: “And it’s the same point I made in my remarks, which is that everybody should be equally outraged. You should be equally outraged at the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and Sheridan Gorman and Laken Riley and everyone else who has been killed by an illegal immigrant.” “ALL OF IT WAS PREVENTABLE.” “And the bottom line is, by the way, if we didn’t have 11 plus million people illegally enter our country, you wouldn’t have needed a surge in ICE agents. You wouldn’t need to be going into sanctuary cities if they would actually cooperate. In New York, Kathy Hochul literally just signed a law banning every local law enforcement agency from cooperating.” [Collins tries to interrupt] “That is unacceptable, and that is why we’re dealing with these situations.” COLLINS: [Moves on] “My point was simply about what you had just said about—about their deaths. But can I also ask you…” LAWLER: “They were preventable.”

Billionaire Governor JB Pritzker boldly tells CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that President Trump is “continually suffering from dementia.” Collins gave him the “did you really say that?” stare after Pritzker made the armchair diagnosis. She gave him a chance to walk it back: “Do you really think the president has dementia?” Pritzker doubled down and said, “I do.” PRITZKER: “The man is continually suffering from dementia. I don’t think he really understands what he’s saying.” COLLINS: “Do you really think the president has dementia?” PRITZKER: “I do, I do. I think if you look at any of the videos from 2015 or 2016… then you fast-forward and look at him now, I really think that there’s something genuinely wrong with him.” “I’m not a doctor. I haven’t diagnosed anything. I’m just suggesting to you that just look at the way he puts words and sentences together…” This is the same man who said, “I’m all in for Joe Biden” in 2024.

Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people. “Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.” “Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.” “How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?” Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000 Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000 Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000 Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000

Rand Paul says he now has emails showing Fauci sent documents to Francis Collins with the instruction: "read it, then DESTROY it." "That is against the law. You're not allowed to do that in the executive branch." Paul says there is a good chance this could put Fauci behind bars because his pardon is too vague and too long to hold up in court: "I think there's a chance we'd win that... You can't give people some kind of pardon for everything." "His only argument is, 'Oh, it wasn't about government,' and it clearly was. I think a jury would [agree]."

In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic. Following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research. Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China. Those 300 scientists were right about Fauci… But the big question is, why are people like him so obsessed with creating dangerous pathogens in the first place? 🧵

Bill Maher and Ro Khanna clash over Zohran Mamdani. Khanna leaned on the Knicks to make his point. Maher leaned on October 7th. MAHER: “So you think Mamdani is a great one, huh?” KHANNA: “I do. I mean, did you see his Knicks speech?” MAHER: “Not the issue that most concerned me.” KHANNA: “It’s worth a watch. Because the speech was not just about the Knicks. First of all, he like recites every Knicks player.” MAHER: “Who gives a sh*t about the Knicks?! He’s the mayor of New York!” KHANNA: “Well, yeah, but he talks about how it’s actually bringing people together. Trump voters, Mamdani voters, how it’s overcoming the odds. And he took a speech that was just about celebrating the championship, and he made something bigger about it.” MAHER: “Well, it doesn’t make me forget that his wife loved the October 7th attack on Israel and that he pals around with terrorists.”

JONATHAN MARTIN: “Look, it’s a trade-off [living in California]. In exchange for getting great weather, great schools—” BILL MAHER: “Great schools?! The schools suck!” MARTIN: “Higher ed. Higher ed. Higher ed.” MAHER: “How do you know they’re so great?” MARTIN: “The UC system is uh…” MAHER: “I don’t know who’s coming out of it and what they’re learning. From what I see from the elite schools on the East Coast, they’re sh*t.” RO KHANNA: “The UC has produced a lot of Nobel laureates just this past year… The UC system genuinely is working.” BILL MAHER: “I see kids demonstrating for Hamas.”

Joe Rogan just revealed that presidents and former presidents personally pressured Spotify to have him removed for "vaccine misinformation." And not one of them apologized when his questions turned out to be right. He says he still can't talk about most of it. What he will say is that the campaign was coordinated, expensive, and came from the very top. ROGAN: "They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs involved." ROGAN: "I can't even talk about it. But there was presidents involved and former presidents involved that were contacting Spotify. Trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation." ROGAN: "And it turned out to be right. All of it." ROGAN: "Not a single apology from anybody. Not a single retraction, not a single mea culpa, not a single 'we were wrong.'" The pressure failed. Joe's audience grew. And the people who tried to silence him never had to answer for any of it...

Jensen Huang just called out every CEO using AI as an excuse to fire people. He says layoffs tied to AI “don’t make any sense” because “AI just arrived.” “The narrative that connects AI to job loss… it is just too lazy.” “AI has just arrived. How is it possible they’re already losing jobs?” “How is it possible that AI became productive and useful only 6 months ago, and they were somehow laying people off two years ago because of AI?” “It doesn’t make any sense. It was just a way for them to sound smart. And I REALLY HATE that.” A recent survey of nearly 6,000 executives found that 89% of companies have seen no measurable productivity gains from AI. Here we have the CEO of the most valuable AI company on earth, NVIDIA, telling you that the layoffs you’re seeing are not about AI. They’re about CEOs who found a convenient story and ran with it. And he hates it.

A reporter asks Tucker Carlson if Israel has a “right to exist.” Tucker flips the question right back and asks her to define what “right to exist” means. And then this happened.
