Nancy Mace exposing taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlements in Congress, and McDonald’s decision to move soda machines behind the counter. First, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire ’s Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details. Next, after the Left repeatedly blamed last year's devastating LA wildfires on climate change, we later learned it was an arsonist. And now that arsonist reportedly told prosecutors he was inspired to do it by Luigi Mangione murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024 and wanted to send a warning to the wealthy. Jim and Greg also discuss the latest in the LA mayor's race. Then, they give credit to South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace for revealing that six members of Congress used taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims between 2007 and 2017. Jim and Greg revisit the scandal and provide context on some of the lawmakers involved. Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.
