Unmasking the Insiders: Fraud and the Accountability Crisis

Transcript

(Opener)

We talk a lot about fraud on this show. There is the fraud of global warming that has stolen hundreds of billions  of dollars from taxpayers. A  few trillion,  actually, depending on when you start counting. And all of that fraud went to prop up Democrats.

We talk about voter fraud and election integrity. And of course there’s what most people think when they hear the word fraud. Financial fraud. And lately it’s been defrauding the government — Money stolen from taxpayers, from programs. And what that really means is it’s been stolen not just from the people who paid it but stolen from the people it was intended for it the people who deserve it.

Estimates are there is at least $600 billion of fraud committed against the federal government every year. 600 billion is enough to pay for the entire Department of Defense — the total compensation for the entire military — salaries, benefits, retirement and pensions, and even all the veterans programs. Exactly 600 billion in the president’s 2025 budget request]

But there’s a worse kind of fraud. Fraud in the justice system itself. It is so bad the very word “justice” feels fraudulent.

When people whose job it is to enforce the law but instead use government and its unlimited checkbook as a weapon to target a duly elected president, target his supporters, create false charges, try to jail people they KNOW are innocent, lie under oath. And use the “justice system” against anyone who gets in their way — from the president all the way down to everyday voters, who were trying to stand up for rights and to defend America. When that happens, there is fraud of the highest order.

Today’s show is about both kinds. The first half of the show we will be talking about fraud in the Dept of Justice and we’ll do that with Peter Ticktin. Then Jeff Eager to discuss fraud of the financial — stolen from taxpayers right here in Oregon — and what happened when he asked the state about it. Same disease, two different symptoms: no accountability.

his week, we are peeling back the layers on government corruption and the high-stakes battle for accountability in America.

First, we’re joined by Peter Ticktin, attorney and long-time friend of President Trump, who recently announced his bid for U.S. Attorney General. Ticktin argues that the DOJ isn’t just poorly-run—it is in a state of war. He’ll break down the “total-overhaul” required to fix a Department of Justice he claims has been used as a weapon by insiders. From the fallout of the Russia-Hoax to the urgent need for a leader who understands Trump’s legal hurdles, Ticktin discusses how to make the DOJ work again. Can there be real-world consequences for those who used fake reports to attack a presidency? Ticktin shares his bold-vision for justice.

Next, we dive into the world of citizen-journalism with attorney Jeff Eager. Eager’s investigation into Oregon Medicaid-fraud has caught the attention of Congress. He’ll walk us through his discovery of Uplifting Journey LLC—a company claiming to provide drug-treatment that reportedly housed Tren de Aragua gang-members. When fraud intersects with taxpayer-funded programs, why is the government staying silent? As a former-official and lawyer, Eager explores the mechanisms of institutional-failure. And don’t miss Eager’s take on exactly where he feels a lot of Oregon’s Medicaid-fraud is actually coming from.
