The cuts to Medicaid have Democrats scrambling for ways to fight back and keep draining the American people of their tax dollars, but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t letting them get away with it.
“I don’t know if you understand this, or whether you’re just mouthing the Democratic talking points. The cuts to Medicaid are for fraud, waste, and abuse. And I'll tell you what that means,” RFK Jr. said to Representative Josh Harder (D-Calif.) in a congressional hearing.
“Because of DOGE, we were able to determine that there are a million people who are claiming Medicaid from multiple states. That’s illegal. It’s a theft. You’re not allowed to do that,” he continued, “these are the only cuts that are being made to Medicaid.”
“And guess what Gavin Newsom did? This morning, he said we’re going to take all the illegal aliens off the California Medicaid rolls because the feds aren’t spying for them anymore,” he added.
“This is RFK arguing with Democrats about Medicaid, fraud, abuse, and he’s saying ‘We’re just taking people off that are illegally using Medicaid,’” BlazeTV host Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“Who is against this, honestly?” Glenn asks. “Now, Gavin Newsom is putting everybody on California aid. Excuse me, California, how are you going to afford that? Every taxpayer left, right, and center, every taxpayer in California should be raising holy hell.”
“How are you going to pay for that?” he continues, adding, “Your state is going to collapse economically.”
However, Glenn is convinced this isn’t a mistake.
“That’s part of the plan,” Glenn says. “Overwhelm and collapse the system, and they’ve already done it. They did it in New York City back in the '70s, and New York City collapsed. Now, they’re doing it to states, and it’s going to happen the same way. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to send my taxpayer dollars to California.”
“You come to the United States of America, and you ask us to bail you out, and anybody in Congress that is from my state, I will make it my mission to put you out on the street, I will make it my mission if you vote to bail out California,” he warns.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has taken it upon himself to shut down the National Environmental Museum and Education Center — a multimillion dollar Biden administration project built to showcase EPA achievements.
The museum, which also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual maintenance costs, featured “historical and scientific artifacts, along with interactive displays that highlight environmental history events and EPA milestones.”
“I think we all knew this was going to be a catastrophe when it started,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments. “Basically, it is a super cheap-looking museum. It's kind of colorful, I guess, but it’s got a bunch of pictures of water and trees on the walls.”
“Then you have this next area, which is like a little seating area around three tiny monitors, where you can sit down and watch videos that likely repeat over and over again,” he continues, adding, “My understanding, too, is that they’re using energy here, which, of course, is killing the planet.”
Zeldin decided to shut down the museum after realizing it was “scarcely visited” and “cost a whopping $4 million taxpayer dollars to build in accordance with Smithsonian standards and more than $600,000 annually to operate.”
“Do your tax dollars really need to be going to museums?” Stu asks. “I kind of argue no, frankly, on that one. Maybe take some donations.”
“$600,000 is not a lot of money in government standards, but a lot of money coming from everyday people to go to a museum,” he continues, noting that the size of the museum was atrociously small for that kind of cost to the taxpayers.
“The museum itself is about the size of an apartment, barely 1,600 square feet, tucked inside the ground floor of EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. It had less than 2,000 external visitors between May 2024 and February 2025. That’s like nine months, 2,000 visitors,” he explains.
“To put that in perspective, even the lowest visited Smithsonian Museum has eight times the visitors in one year,” he adds, “So we’re spending $600,000 a year. We spent $4 million to build a one-room apartment.”

President Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th president 50 plus days ago, and while everyone has their own opinion on how he’s done so far, Mark Meadows, former Trump White House chief of staff, gives him an A+.
“Listen, it’s breathtaking. I give him an A+, and I’m a hard grader,” Meadows tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “But an A+, really, for the speed of which they’ve been able to address so many things.”
“Most of his Cabinet, not only the highest secretaries, but also the people underneath have already moved through the Senate, which is unheard of at this kind of speed,” he explains, noting that Trump’s executive orders have also been impressive.
“When you start to look at the executive orders, the amount of effort that they’re spending on not only looking at the waste, fraud, and abuse, but the billions of dollars that have been uncovered, much to the Democrats' chagrin,” he says.
“I just came from the Capitol an hour or two ago, and I can tell you, many of the Democrat members of Congress are hoping that Elon Musk and President Trump stop their efforts because of what’s getting exposed,” he adds.
However, while Trump has wasted no time setting his plans in motion, that doesn’t mean he won’t face some challenges on the way.
“There’s two types of people that love to spend money in Washington, D.C.: Democrats and Republicans. And you know, the swamp is already fighting back,” he explains. “We’re seeing some reports of some friction within the Cabinet.”
“The House is going to vote on a continuing resolution, which most conservatives in the past have not supported,” he continues. “I’m afraid of what they may run into in the Senate. The Senate, they take more naps than they do votes, and so it’s critically important that we make sure that momentum that Russ Vought was talking about and that both of you have covered, very well continues.”
“The honeymoon phase is not over, but it has the potential of being over if the American people don’t continue to applaud,” he says, adding, “Because you can never imagine the resistance that’s here in Washington, D.C.”

As nearly half the states battle the federal government to maintain discriminatory equity and inclusion practices in public institutions, billions of taxpayer dollars are at stake.
The Trump administration is investigating whether California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), a program that pays state money to noncitizens who are not eligible for Social Security benefits because of their immigration status, is paying “ineligible illegal aliens.” Noncitizens who are over 65, blind or disabled, and are ineligible for Social Security benefits — […]
The Department of Education cut $1 billion worth of “mental health” grants that were being used to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology instead of mental health programs. The department confirmed the cuts to The Federalist, some of which were made to grants that advanced “diversity goals” that explicitly sought “non-white” counselors. The department […]
The AMA's lobbying for politically charged issues like 'gender-affirming care' is all funded by American taxpayer dollars.
'Taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund facilities that profit off abortion and distribute dangerous gender-transition drugs to minors,' Bursch said.
Planned Parenthood has used the massive government funding it receives to promote abortion while financially starving its “clinics."
