In this episode, we welcome Congressman Glenn Grothman from Wisconsin to discuss the latest developments in defense authorization and healthcare reforms. Congressman Grothman shares insights on the Pentagon's strategies to adapt to modern warfare, the significant reductions in non-uniform personnel within the Department of Defense, and the potential savings for taxpayers. We also explore the implications of upcoming healthcare reforms, including reduced prescription drug prices and enhanced taxpayer rights regarding the IRS.

Later, John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center and author of 'Gun Control Myths,' shares compelling statistics that reveal a drop in murders and mass shootings, challenging the narratives frequently presented in the media. We discuss the implications of gun control laws on minority communities and the importance of allowing individuals to protect themselves.

Finally, we tackle the pressing issue of welfare fraud with Chuck Flint, CEO of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former prosecutor. We discuss the alarming schemes involving fraudulent claims, particularly within the Somali immigrant community, and the apparent lack of accountability from government officials.
