really considering a switch to the gop? Look, the fake news spits out a lot of nonsense, and this is one of those times you say, hold on a second, they're saying something that I kind of want to hear, but they're buzzing a lot about this. One GOP leader eyes potential party switch from Democratic senator as 2028 race looms. That was one headline. Pennsylvania Republicans are watching and waiting. Another one Fetterman faces knives out from his own party. These are all headlines. Heck, even the Pennsylvania GOP chairman said they're still trying to wrestle with what happens if Fetterman switches parties and becomes a Republican. Is this real? Could this actually happen? Well, look, from where I sit, I think that anything that goes in this direction can create the sweetest kind of chaos. Something that really makes things more complicated for Democrats, especially in an election where they're going to want to be playing the oh, we're moderates. Oh, we do everything we can to help the middle class and bring down costs. No, they don't. They're a party of socialist whack jobs who only pretend to be moderate when it's time to fool people into giving them just enough votes. Votes that they have power and can win. So look, Fetterman isn't running around with a MAGA hat on and quoting the Federalist Papers. That much we know. He still is calling himself a Democrat. And his voting record, a lot of people point this out. Proves it. 91% party line with the Democrats overall, but you know, about the other 9% or so. That's, that's the part that drives the, the left, radical left of his party completely insane. I mean, let's take a look at this record for a second here. Fetterman has broken with Schumer and Jeffries again and again on things that actually can matter to everyday Americans. He's voted with Republicans multiple times. For example, to reopen government. Chuck Schumer was playing shut down chicken. Schumer was so upset about this. Fetterman has been, as we know, rock solid on Israel while the squad is doing their campus cosplay. Oh, we love Hamas nonsense. He's called out the border catastrophe in very plain language that sounds a lot more Republican than it does. Certainly aoc. Like he's even defended fracking in Pennsylvania because he represents working people instead of coastal trust fund activist types. And he's been willing to work with Trump on cabinet picks and even take some meetings in order to get those Trump cabinet picks through. That a lot of Democrats get all upset about and clutch their pearls and they cry, oh, Fetterman is selling us out. So this isn't just some spin from the media. It's not like the media is coming up with this and they are the ones manufacturing this out of whole cloth. This is a guy who has looked at the Democrat Party's overall brand being open borders, defund the police, transgender mania, all this stuff, all the anti Semitism, by the way, because the Democrat Party has a place now for anti Semites. Like there's, they've carved out a space. You have to be non white and then you're allowed to be a Democrat anti Semite. So if you're, you know, Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar or go down the list, you're allowed to be an anti Semite. And they just, they are okay with this. But you look at some other. And so Fetterman breaks with them on that. You look at some things like issues where Fetterman doesn't align with them. He doesn't align with them, as we said on the border. And he's gotten so, so much heat from his own side that Pennsylvania House Democrats aren't even going to endorse him for reelection. So why does this matter for the upcoming 2026 Midterms and Control of the Senate? Because right now Republicans hold a 53 to 47 edge. Right? So it's, we have an edge, but not a huge one. Republicans are in the majority. We are passing the agenda. And every single Democrat defection, even if it's partial defection, every fracture, every bit of public strife is helpful to our side. It's harder for them to convince swing state voters that there's some well oiled machine ready to govern and take over when people from their own party are ready to bounce. So let's just imagine for a second if Fetterman actually pulls the trigger, I'm not talking about a full switch right now. Let's just say he starts caucusing with Republicans, runs as an independent, maybe in 28 with Republican backing, suddenly that Pennsylvania seat, which Democrats thought they had locked down becomes part of a firewall of GOP Senate control, which could go on for years, perhaps the better part of a decade. Pennsylvania, as we know, is an ultimate swing State, one of the most important ones. So if Fetterman keeps moving to the right, it shows that you can't win Pennsylvania by being a left wing loon, which means you can't be a true blue Democrat. And this is because the Democrat party has moved so far left that their nose ringed, tattooed necked, hoodie wearing, populist lunatics are unable, are unable to win a majority. That's the truth. Especially in a state like Pennsylvania that still has some working class, old school, union Democrat kind of credentials. So that's where I think you're going to see this. And the more infighting among Democrats, the better. Look, I'm not popping the champagne on this thing yet. Let's just be very clear. I don't think that this is a done deal. And Fetterman, like I said, He's 90% voting with the Democrats. I am seeing this with open eyes. He's not going to switch to the Republican Party. Those headlines are just clickbait, I think, mostly. But an independent showing that he's up for it, certainly better for his own brand, I think in the state of Pennsylvania showing that his vote is up for grabs on some things. This is, this is real. I think this could be meaningful. And it's something that we're certainly looking at going into the Senate because we know that the key Senate races are going to be, I mean, Georgia with Ossoff, that is going to be an absolute throwdown. Michigan is going to be an absolute throwdown. Maine is going to be a total melee, a donnybrook. So we know what some of the big fights are going to be. But anything that makes it harder for Democrats to consolidate is certainly a good thing. Our sponsor here is Birch Gold Group. You know, when there are supply constraints on commodities, prices surge. You saw with fuel prices when the Strait of Hormuz was blockaded. Oil is a commodity limited by our ability to produce it. And you know what else is a limited commodity? Gold. It's mined out of the ground and deposits are rare. When it's gone, it's gone. So governments can't just print more of it. And that's why everyone from central banks to savvy savers are diversifying with gold. If you've been thinking about it for years, but have still never moved some of your savings into physical gold, Birch Gold Group, that's who I trust to help you. Now, through May 29, Birch Gold Group is giving first time gold buyers a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. For details and a free Information kit on diversifying into gold. Text my name buck to the number 9898 98. That's 9898 98. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401K into a tax sheltered IRA and physical gold. Text buck b u c k to 9898 98. See if you qualify for a first time gold buyer rebate of up to $10,000. Now my friends, speaking of where things are heading politically here, I was just talking about Pennsylvania. This story out of Ohio is truly astonishing. We had him on radio. Luke Rosiak, but the scam, the scale of the scams going on right now for people who are tapping into the Medicaid. You ever said Medicaid is just a giant welfare slush fund now? Now it's just money taken from taxpayers, distributed by Democrats overwhelmingly. Republicans obviously have a hand in this too. But it's mostly Democrats and their and their bureaucracies who are taking their cut. As in people getting paid to do jobs that don't really need to be done to administer the funds, if you will. This is just a giant welfare program now. Covers health and a whole lot of other things, or rather covers medical care. But the reason they like it is because if you oppose any aspect of it, they say you don't want poor people to have medical care. I mean, we're getting to the point now where we find out that people are scamming Medicaid to buy Ferraris. And if you say, hey, we need to look into this, you'll have Democrats protesting. He doesn't want people to have heart surgery. No, I want, I don't want anyone to die of a preventable heart attack because they don't have the money for a surgery. I'm okay with that. Obviously I'm not okay with people buying Ferraris on the taxpayer dime through Medicaid. And that kind of nonsense is actually happening now. Let me give you this, this Luke Rosiak tweet. This guy's the Daily Wire. And this comes after the fraud that we saw in Minneapolis, the Somali fraud occurring there with the daycare centers. This home health care aid stuff is really mind blowing. He said he showed all these different home health care companies. AAU Home Health Care LLC build $12 million. Louisiana Home Health Care Inc. Billed $8 million. Midwest Home Health Care billed $8 million. All these different companies are building all this money. What are they doing? Because he shows video where all these healthcare companies are located. He shows video where there's no one there. What Kind of company is billing millions of dollars to Medicaid that has no real office and no employees doing anything. This is the question you should ask, isn't it? He points out that quote. This is. I'm reading from Luke Rosiak's Twitter. Almost all are run by. All these companies are run by Africans who I am certain the government is not properly monitoring because our system isn't set up to track people who all share combinations of just a few names and don't have birth dates, end quote. Let me tell you, this is. This was a real problem back when I was working in counterterrorism. The number of people that would be Muhammad Ali Muhammad would blow your mind. And they would spell the name in government papers different ways. So you never knew. If you've got 5,000 people in the New York metro area named Muhammad Ali Muhammad and they all have different spellings of the name, how do you know who you're actually dealing with? How do you know who the person is listed under the llc? Now, in the case of counterterrorism, how do you know who maybe was giving money to Al Qaeda or acting on their behalf? It's one of thousands of Muhammad Ali Muhammads. This is. I'm telling you, this is a real thing. It's a real problem. It's not new what Luke is pointing out, but it's part of the scams. When I was in New York, there was a. There was a scam that Yemenis people from Yemen were particularly running where they would. They would have names that were similar. Ish. And they would come in on tourist visas and operate these halal meat carts, all cash. And they would not have any, you know, the health department, nothing. No, no real regulation on this whatsoever. And they would pay no taxes of any kind. And then they would take the cash on their person back home to Yemen, and then one of their cousins would come and take over the halal cart and they would say, hey, you know, what are you. What about, we saw so and so, and he's supposed to pay the following tax. They said, I'm not that guy. I just have this card. I don't know. They were running this scam for years, years. And you might think, oh, how much money? Some of those cards would make like $5,000 a day, three, four or five grand a day. So you can start to do the math on that one. And this came up on the radar of the counterterrorism division because some of these guys were allegedly funneling money back to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which was trying to commit terrorist attacks in the U.S. so this, this stuff is not new. But the scale of the Medicaid fraud stuff, that's the part of this that I think really is new and is people are seeing it for the first time and it's outrageous. It's really bothersome. It should be really bothersome to everybody who is seeing this because we are being scammed. You know, you have to abide by all these rules. Meanwhile, we are being scammed big time as Americans who actually do what we're supposed to do. Our sponsor here Super Sure Here's a question. How many brokers does it take to insure your business?

When I was diagnosed, all I wanted to do was get back to work. I wanted to get back to that trajectory that I was on prior to the cancer. I always felt like I had value. I had a place on the team to just be treated with dignity. It means everything.
