Dr. Oz reveals the TRUTH about government shutdown and health care for illegal aliens



Dr. Oz is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator for President Trump, and he’s joining Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “Glenn TV” to debunk the left’s lies surrounding the current government shutdown.

“It is really reprehensible, what the Democrats are doing,” Oz tells Glenn. “This has been a process, this continuing resolution process, whether you like it or not, that’s gone on for a long time.”

“One of the things we addressed, I think, quite successfully, is the fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid. In fact, some of the points you make like money going towards illegal immigrants — again, it’s not that you’re paying for it in California; it’s that folks are being taxed in Mississippi and Texas and Florida, and that money is being shipped to California,” Oz explains.

“We stopped that. We’re not going to reverse that. And we’re certainly not going to reverse it for seven weeks of continuation so we can actually have more negotiations,” he says, noting that Medicaid and Medicare are only getting hurt by shutting down the government.


“These programs, we struggle to keep open when you have a shutdown of this nature. This is high-stakes poker, and it’s unfair, and frankly, the Democrats don’t have many chips anyway,” he adds.

Glenn notes that some Democrats are now asking whether or not illegal immigrants will be helped in the emergency room — even in life-or-death situations where the patient may have a gunshot wound.

But Oz says that question distorts the truth, explaining that there’s a law that will protect illegal immigrants.

“You will get the care you need, especially if it’s lifesaving care. You’re in trouble if you don’t provide that care. So this is not about that at all. This is about giving benefits to illegal immigrants,” Oz explains.

“Again, I’ll pick on California because it’s such an obvious case. … If you’re on Medicaid in California and you’re an illegal immigrant, you are getting free dental care. It’s just not fair to the American people,” he says.

“It’s not like the citizens of California are paying for that. We’re footing most of the bill at the federal government, which we tax every one of the other 49 states and then we pay California to make up for the fact that they’ve decided to fund illegal immigrant health care,” he adds.

This INSANE answer may have cost this Democrat her election



Katie Porter, a Democrat candidate for governor of California, was the most favored candidate to replace Gavin Newsom. However, her recent meltdown during a basic interview may have cost her everything.

“What do you say to the 40% of California voters who you’ll need in order to win who voted for Trump?” a reporter asked Porter.

“How would I need them in order to win, ma'am?” Porter asked, laughing.

“Well, unless you think you’re going to get 60% of the vote. You think you’ll get 60%? Everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you. That’s what you’re saying,” the reporter continued.

“In a general election, yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump,” Porter responded.


When the reporter asked what she would do if it was another Democrat that she was running against, Porter answered that she didn’t “intend that to be the case,” which confused the reporter even more.

“How do you not intend that to be the case? Are you going to ask them not to run?” the reporter asked.

As the interview went on, Porter continued to refuse to answer the initial question, which was “What do you say to the 40% of California voters” whom she’ll need to win, calling the reporter "unnecessarily argumentative.”

Porter then said, “I don’t want to keep doing this. I’m going to call it.”

“You’re not going to do the interview with us?” the reporter said, stunned.

“Nope. Not like this. I’m not. Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask,” Porter said.

“Every other candidate has answered —” the reporter responded, before Porter cut her off again, and then fought her on her attempts to keep the interview going, calling herself a “leader.”

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck and BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere are stunned by the interview.

“Didn’t go well,” Glenn says.

“She’s never had to deal with follow-up questions before. … We sometimes don’t appreciate what a great life it must be on the left. … You never have to deal with anything. No one ever asks you a follow-up. No one ever pushes you on anything,” Stu comments.

“She asks one minor follow-up question that isn’t adversarial at all, and she pulls the plug on the interview,” he continues, shocked.

“That’s not even a follow-up question. It’s like, ‘Do you want more voters?’ That’s the hard question she walked out of an interview for,” he adds.

Cut the mic: Rashida Tlaib’s heated ‘anti-fascist’ tirade



Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) went off in a heated rant during a committee hearing, accusing the Trump administration of a “fascist takeover” in Washington D.C. — but Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) wasn’t going to take it lying down.

“I think it’s really important. We need to stand up against this fascist takeover. That’s not a bad word; it’s a fact,” Tlaib began during the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing about crime and the federal crackdown in the nation’s capital.

“And here in D.C. and across the country, it is so incredibly important, Mr. Chair, that this committee does not allow rhetoric that defames or paints Washington, D.C., in a way that you all haven’t really truly seen,” she continued.

“You’re just reading it. No, you’re just reading it or something off of some —” she added, before being cut off.


“Will the gentlelady yield to a question?” she was asked by Donalds.

“I think it’s really important,” she trudged on. “I don’t yield. I don’t even have time.”

“Your time’s expired,” Chairman James Comer responded.

“It is expired, but Mr. Chair, but you all live here, and you’re not telling people the beautiful parts that you do see in our nation’s capital,” Tlaib said, as Comer reiterated that her time had expired. “And no, no, no, it’s just wrong how we’re doing this. It’s wrong.”

That’s when Donalds really stepped in.

“Chairman, I think it’s insane if the gentlelady won’t have an argument, but she’s going to refer to me and some of my colleagues like we were from the Third Reich,” Donalds said. “This is insane. It’s insane. It’s insane. It’s insane.”

“Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you, Ms. Tlaib?” he asked while she continued to yell — which only got worse.

“Jeez. Somebody cut off her microphone,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says, annoyed.

“Honestly, that’s who I feel the worst for in all of Capitol Hill, are the microphones here lately because they go through a lot every day,” executive producer Keith Malinak says.

“This is one of the first representatives from the Palestinian territories to be included in our government,” Gray says. “She should be happy about that. I mean, we’ve got a Palestinian representative in the U.S. government, and she’s still pissed off about it.”

Van Jones admits the woke era has gone too far



Van Jones is finally saying what conservatives have argued for years: The woke era has gone too far.

“This is not gonna make me popular, but I’m not mad, because it got ridiculous. I’m an employer, and at a certain point, your Slack channel just turns into Vietnam every other day because something happened that had nothing to do with the workplace,” Jones said on CNN.

“You got to bring in all kinds of counselors and, like, this is not camp, guys. We’re trying to make money. So I enjoyed the moment for a while where we were having our reckonings about everything. We done wrecked, okay? Reckoning direct. We can move on,” he added, laughing.

“I think he’s sort of admitting this because Van Jones is pretty perceptive, and so I think he’s recognizing that … they’ve overplayed their hands, the woke folks, right? Like it’s just people are sick of it, as evidenced by Donald Trump waltzing into the White House for a second time,” Dan Andros of the “Quick Start Podcast” tells BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere on “Stu Does America.”


“This guy they rebranded as Hitler for four years. And they’re like, ‘Well, how did Hitler get in there?’ It’s like, I don’t know. Maybe because like Van said, you turned your job that you have to show up to every day, for millions of people, into this place where now they’ve got to tiptoe around every microaggression imaginable and it’s a living nightmare, and they voted against it overwhelmingly,” Andros explains.

“And they seem to continue to be doing it,” Stu agrees.

“If you say, ‘Donald Trump is Hitler,’ right, and then Hitler gets elected, you have a path to go. Your two choices are, number one, I was wrong. He’s not Hitler, and I was overexaggerating what my belief was in this guy. He’s actually not that bad. I just have a disagreement with him,” he explains.

"Or two, he is Hitler, and I live in Nazi Germany because the people around me all want Hitler.”

“I think maybe to some extent, Van Jones is choosing this way to say, ‘Look, maybe this was overexaggerated,’ where I think a lot of the people on the left, certainly on the CNN panel every single night, are saying, ‘Look, we’re just in Nazi Germany,’” he continues.

“And that is going to send them down all sorts of really bad roads for their political futures,” he adds.

Disgusting: Even Tim Walz cheers false rumors of Trump’s death



Over the holiday weekend, rumors began circulating on the left that President Donald Trump had passed away after going several days without a public appearance — but he quickly shut them down.

“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Aug. 31st. “Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE! President DJT.”

“The left was really excited,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “There was, like, a gleam in their eye. You know, usually they have dead eyes. I think it’s 'cause they take too many SSRIs, but they usually have the dead eyes.”


On August 30, “Donald Trump” was the number-one trending topic on X after the left began excitedly repeating that the president was nowhere to be seen.

In the trending sidebar on X, it revealed that 49,000 posts claimed that “TRUMP IS DEAD,” 17,500 posts claimed that “TRUMP DIED,” and 110,000 posts said “It Happened.”

Even Tim Walz got in on the deranged and deluded excitement.

“You get up in the morning and you doomscroll through things — although I will say this. The last few days you woke up thinking there might be news,” Walz told an audience, to laughter. “Just saying, there will be news sometime.”

“Breaking: People die,” Gonzales comments, disgusted.

“Or is that his cowardly call to violence?” BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens chimes in. “Because that’s what they really want. What a sick, sick human being. I don’t recall ever in this network or anyone here ever talking about wanting Joe Biden to lose his life.”

“They say the quiet parts out loud, at least,” he continues. “So let them announce themselves.”

Trump vs. RFK: Where do they stand on the vaccine fight?



Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. is shaking up Washington by cutting vaccine funding, challenging Big Pharma, and pushing to yank the COVID shot off the U.S. market — while President Trump continues to champion Operation Warp Speed.

RFK’s latest moves were featured in an article in Newsweek, which appears to be what the president is responding to.

“Despite COVID, which was a very unfortunate situation for the whole world, we did a great job with it. Never got the credit for the job we did. Operation Warp Speed, people say, is one of the greatest achievements ever, in politics or in the military, because it was almost a military procedure,” President Trump said during a recent cabinet meeting.

“But everybody, including Putin, said that Operation Warp Speed, what you did with that, nobody can believe it. And we did a great job,” he added.


“It looks like HHS, they’re like, ‘Hey, you know what? We’ve gotten rid of some of the other vaccine stuff. You can’t give this to kids or pregnant women anymore.’ And, you know, sometimes you just want to leak some information out there,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage tells Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

“And Donald Trump heard that, and at his press conference, I mean, you just heard the reaction,” she adds.

“Yeah, that’s expected,” Bedford says. “That’s kind of an amateur move from HHS when you’re dealing with President Trump, who’s not like most other people.”

“The secretary of defense has found this out, for example, when he went ahead of the president on putting off arms shipments to Ukraine. This is something that was actually on the president’s agenda, but it wasn’t the right time with the president’s negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, and he was extremely irritated that there was a rollout beforehand,” he continues.

As for RFK’s moves, Bedford believes he’s taking it “a bridge too far.”

“He ought to take warning, and he ought to probably back off and figure out a different way, because if he does want to get this done, then leaking it to Newsweek, leaking it to liberal reporters and not going through the proper [channels] and convincing the president,” Bedford explains, “well, that’s not the way to do it.”

“That’s actually the way to lose your job,” he adds.

Liz Wheeler: You’re wrong about burning the American flag



On this episode of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” Liz reacts to President Trump’s executive order on burning the American flag. What does the order actually say? Plus, the Heartland Institute’s Justin T. Haskins joins the show to discuss a Washington state law that could destroy the seal of the confessional.

President Trump signed an executive order this week titled, Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag — and it wasn’t just the left who reacted in anger.

“The fiery response to President Trump’s executive order is coming from President Trump’s base, who are all ablaze about this,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show,” adding, “Now, you’re going to be surprised by what I think about this topic.”


“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. And we in the United States are not living in ordinary times. We are facing a deliberate concerted assault on everything from the very legitimacy of our country to our rule of law to our constitutionally protected rights and the other side, our political opposition, has been tragically very successful in waging these attacks against us,” she explains.

And Wheeler notes that other symbols are protected by law.

“In Washington, D.C., when those teenagers on their bikes made those burnouts on top of the trans flag that was painted on the roads, they faced a potential 10 years in prison for defacing the trans flag,” Wheeler says.

“Why should the left’s sacred symbols, the trans flag, be protected, but our sacred symbols, the American flag, not?” she asks. “That doesn’t seem like equality under the law, that seems like a double standard where their religious symbols are protected and ours aren’t.”

While others on the right who disagree will use the slippery slope argument, Wheeler notes that the left has already done the same thing to the right when they were in power.

“This is not some hypothetical possibility that might happen down the road that we have to protect against. The left has already called your speech violent in memos behind the scenes at the FBI. If you’re a parent that opposed critical race theory or trans ideology in a public school, if you’re a pro-lifer, if you’re a Catholic, they’ve labeled you a violent extremist, a domestic terrorist,” she explains.

"They’ve already taken our speech and told us that it’s violence. And prosecuted us for it,” she continues, adding, “So the slippery slope argument might sound good on paper. It may be convincing. You may feel sympathetic to it on paper, but in reality, that’s long past relevant.”

Media melts down as DC crime crackdown proves WILD success



For the first time in years, Washington, D.C., just went nine days without a single murder— and of course, the media is acting like it’s a bad thing.

The drop in crime comes after more than 2,200 Guard troops were deployed in Washington, who were instructed not to use their weapons unless facing bodily harm themselves.

“The calming words from the people in charge saying, ‘We’re not really going to use these unless there’s a real emergency,’ that didn’t calm down the media, and they framed it a certain way, right?” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments on “Stu Does America.”

“Like it’s this evil sort of crackdown on the city. It’s always kind of tilted that way,” he continues, noting that many recent articles do exactly that.


“Some National Guard units in Washington are now carrying firearms in escalation of Trump deployment,” the AP headline reads. “Some National Guard troops in D.C. now armed as Trump takeover continues,” another headline from Fox 5 reads.

“Now, the other headline you should probably know about all of this, is this one,” Burguiere says. “‘Incredible results’: Trump thanks National Guard, police for patrolling D.C.”

JD Vance has also been quite vocal about how well the deployment has been working, despite the liberal media refusing to report on it.

“To echo something the president said about crime in Washington, D.C., this is the national capital of the greatest nation in the world, and we had murder rates just a few weeks ago that rivaled some of the worst third world cities anywhere, even in very, very poor regions of the world,” Vance said on August 22.

“Why did we accept that? Why do we allow it to happen? We allowed it to happen because we had broken leadership in Washington, D.C., and unfortunately, sitting behind the Resolute desk, what we have shown in just under two weeks of taking law enforcement seriously is that the American people can have their street back if their leadership is willing to put in the time and the resources,” he continued.

“Mr. President, you’ve shown in Washington, D.C., that we can have safe streets again," he added, praising Trump. "We’ve just got to have the political willpower to focus on the bad guys and to give the American people back their communities."

Trump admin’s NASA: Duffy aims for lunar nuclear base by 2030



The race to the moon has kicked off again, as the Trump administration is accelerating plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon in order to power a base for humans.

According to a directive by acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy, the reactor would launch to the moon by 2030. China and Russia are also aiming to use nuclear power on the moon by the end of the decade, which according to Duffy is necessary to sustain life there.

“There’s a certain part of the moon that everyone knows is the best. We have ice there. We have sunlight there. We wanna get there first and claim that for America,” Duffy said.


“The plan involves us to return astronauts to the moon and be a leader in space exploration, because right now, on this whole going back to the moon thing, we’re behind Russia and China because they’re really serious about it, and they’ve been serious about it,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

However, the news that NASA will be developing reactors for the moon is coming at a challenging time for the agency, as at least 20% of NASA’s workforce has opted to leave the agency through the Trump administration’s deferred resignation program.

The current administration has also proposed decreasing NASA’s budget.

“How much faith do we have in our government doing all this considering they don’t even have the technology to get us back to the moon to begin with?” producer Keith Malinak asks.

“I’ve got almost none,” Gray says. “Especially by 2030.”

Trump’s DC crime crackdown sparks Democrats’ denial



The crime crisis in Washington, D.C., has sparked a historic federal takeover of the police by President Donald Trump — which has been answered with misinformation by frantic Democrats.

Democrats deny there’s a problem with crime in our nation’s capital, claiming that crime is down from its 2023 highs.

“Wow, what an accomplishment,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere mocks. “You took the worst year on record, and you are slightly down from that. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Democrat lawmakers and legacy media outlets responded to Trump’s complaint about violent crime by reporting that it decreased by 35% in 2024, citing local police data. However, the D.C. police only includes homicide, sex abuse crimes, assault with a dangerous weapon, and robbery in its overall violent crime statistics.


Aggravated assault and felony assault without the use of weapons are left out, despite the fact that according to D.C. law, they are “violent offenses causing bodily injury," and according to the FBI, aggravated assaults are increasing.

And FBI data does not show violent offenses decreasing by 35% in 2024, but only by 10%.

FBI data also shows that homicides remain higher than pre-pandemic levels in the years since 2020, with the exception of 2021 — a year where apparently D.C. submitted incomplete data.

“So, basically these numbers mean nothing,” Stu says.

Not only are the stats telling a different story than the Democrat’s headlines, but a D.C. police commander is also on leave for allegedly falsifying that specific data. The Metropolitan Police Department suspended Michael Pulliam for allegedly manipulating crime numbers in his report.

“That’s not great,” Stu says. “I doubt he was trying to make them higher.”
