Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1,500 a month, and most have taken money from Novo Nordisk, the drug's manufacturer. There is a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as six for obesity, a condition claimed to be preventable. It is claimed that if 74% of Americans took Ozempic, the cost would be $3 trillion a year. Ozempic has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe, yet the Danish government recommends diet and exercise instead. It is claimed that for half the price of Ozempic, every American could receive regeneratively raised organic food and gym memberships. It is claimed that members of Congress are doing the bidding of Novo Nordisk instead of standing up for American farmers and children because Novo Nordisk is one of the largest funders of medical research.

The massive bloat in government spending allows politicians to hide their pet projects. For example, Stacey Abrams' climate group, with a revenue of only $100, is slated to receive $2 billion. There's outrage over Elon Musk's team accessing IRS data, yet the Biden administration allowed 53 unpaid researchers and students full access to the American people's data at the IRS. They're okay with waste, fraud, and abuse as long as their special interest groups are funded and their ideology is promoted, regardless of the will of the American people. Our country can't survive this. We are thankful that Donald Trump and his team are saying enough is enough and will begin the process of restoring a constitutional republic.

Our government funnels tax dollars overseas to countries and weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, who then lobby back with gifts for elected officials. Last year, the US spent $47.7 billion on Lockheed, 93% of their revenue. Nearly 80% of this money was borrowed. In total, $861 billion was spent on defense, with 80% going to other countries, surpassing spending on all other US programs combined. This is all publicly disclosed, showing where our money goes.

The government's involvement in the food system, particularly through agriculture subsidies, has contributed to widespread health issues. High fructose corn syrup emerged as a byproduct of corn overproduction, driven by powerful agricultural lobbies. The USDA, which promotes U.S. agriculture and advises on dietary guidelines, has historically prioritized carbohydrates over proteins and fats in its food pyramid. This misguidance led to the widespread use of high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, a decision now recognized as harmful to public health.

Over 100 members of Congress are backing a bill to fund Ozempic through Medicare at $1,500 monthly, many having received funds from Novo Nordisk, its European manufacturer. Once Medicare approves it, Medicaid follows. There's a push to prescribe Ozempic to kids as young as six for obesity, a largely preventable condition. With 74% of Americans obese, covering everyone's Ozempic would cost $3 trillion annually. Ozempic has made Novo Nordisk Europe's largest company, yet Denmark recommends diet and exercise instead. The company's value relies heavily on projected Ozempic sales in the US. For half the cost, we could provide organic food and gym memberships for every obese American. Why are politicians siding with a Danish company over American farmers and kids? Because Novo Nordisk heavily funds medical research, influencing media, politicians, and medical schools.

Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic through Medicare at $1,500 a month, despite many having received funding from its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. This drug, aimed at treating obesity—a largely preventable condition—could cost the U.S. $3 trillion annually if prescribed widely, as 74% of Americans are obese. While Novo Nordisk thrives, the Danish government promotes diet and exercise instead. For half the cost of Ozempic, we could provide organic food and gym memberships for every obese American. The influence of Novo Nordisk extends to medical research funding, leading to complicity from media, politicians, and medical schools.

How do programs like SNAP benefits impact food choices? Many SNAP benefits are spent on unhealthy foods. While I’m not familiar with how other countries manage similar programs, I know SNAP is a crucial USDA initiative. Many children in the U.S. rely on it because their families struggle to afford nutritious diets. There was significant debate about this issue previously, and I believe a key improvement would be for the U.S. government to leverage its purchasing power to buy healthier food options.

Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1,500 monthly, with most having received money from Novo Nordisk, its manufacturer. Approval for Medicare would extend to Medicaid, with potential recommendations for Americans as young as six for obesity, a condition claimed to be preventable and recently rare. With 74% of Americans obese, the total cost of Ozempic prescriptions could reach $3 trillion annually. Ozempic has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe, yet the Danish government recommends diet and exercise instead. The company's value relies on projected Ozempic sales in America. For half the cost of Ozempic, every American could receive regeneratively raised organic food and obese Americans could receive gym memberships. The speaker questions why Congress is supporting Novo Nordisk over American farmers and children, suggesting Novo Nordisk's funding of medical research influences media, politicians, and medical schools.

American medical groups, including the American Diabetes Association, accept money from processed food companies like Coke. Hospitals have soda machines and sponsorships from these companies. The ADA recommends small cans of Coke for diabetics despite rising diabetes rates. The medical system profits from sickness, not health.

Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic through Medicare at $1,500 a month, despite many having received funding from its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. Once approved for Medicare, the drug will likely extend to Medicaid, with recommendations for use in children as young as 6 for obesity, a largely preventable condition. With 74% of Americans classified as obese, the potential annual cost for Ozempic prescriptions could reach $3 trillion. While Novo Nordisk thrives on these projections, the Danish government advocates for dietary changes and exercise instead. For the cost of Ozempic, we could provide organic food and gym memberships for every obese American. The influence of Novo Nordisk in medical research funding raises concerns about Congress prioritizing corporate interests over American health and agriculture.

The US Treasury Department has been flagged for potential waste and abuse of taxpayer funds, with about 23% of entitlements, roughly $50 billion annually, going to recipients without known Social Security numbers or IDs. This equates to about a billion dollars a week in potential fraud. Adding to the concern, the Treasury Department hasn't been keeping itemized records of their payouts, making it impossible to track where the money is actually going. Fortunately, an agreement has been made where the Treasury Department will start itemizing all payments, detailing where the money is going and to whom. It's unbelievable that the Treasury hasn't had to provide accountability for where taxpayer money is being spent, especially when individual taxpayers are held to a much higher standard.

Speaker 0: In America, we don't have a tax problem. We've got a third world problem. This is not an exaggeration. The United States collects over $2,400,000,000,000 in income taxes every year and then burns $1,500,000,000,000 through fraud, waste, and third world robbery. If the elites actually did their jobs and cut out the waste, the government would only need about $900,000,000,000 to function. And here's the crazy part. That would mean anyone earning under $500,000 a year could pay zero income tax, and everything would still be fully funded. So if this money isn't funding our future, whose dream is it really building? Look at Minnesota. The Somali daycare scandal gave us the answer. Billions of dollars you worked for, money meant to feed hungry kids, was diverted through fake daycare centers, phantom meals, and paperwork designed to approve. Not question, no kids, no food, just checks. Your hard earned labor was turned into Lamborghinis, beachfront mansions, and luxury vacations most of us will never experience even after a lifetime of honest work. On top of that, your tax dollars were routed to foreign organizations The US Military is fighting. Let that sink in. We went from defending liberty to bankrolling the threat. That's not compassion. That's collapse. And when systems fail like this, they don't admit mistakes. They don't apologize for wasting your money. They dig deeper into your pockets to fund their failure.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle the $36 trillion national debt, we need to examine all areas. As part of the oversight subcommittee, we will investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads Democrat propaganda. We will also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, which do not benefit Americans. Furthermore, we need to question the Pentagon about their inability to account for billions of dollars annually and their repeated audit failures.

For over a decade, I’ve been exposing egregious Washington waste with my monthly SQUEAL awards. Some examples are too outrageous to believe. I’m talking about bureaucrats approving PPP loans for applicants who used pictures of dolls for IDs. Imagine giving Barbie or Ken a taxpayer funded loan. Not only that, but they also believe folks claiming to be over 115 years old were alive and well enough to be approved for 3,095 PPP and idle loans worth $333,000,000 including $36,000 to a 157 year old. That’s pure hogwash. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Instead of boosting Main Street, millions of your tax dollars were wasted through USAID to fund Iraqi Sesame Street. And this one is unacceptable. Improper payments or the government tossing cash into the wrong trough have become commonplace. In fiscal year twenty twenty four, federal agencies shoveled out $162,000,000,000 in improper payments. The most frustrating part is how simple it is to stop this waste. A report by the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee found that $79,000,000,000 in potential COVID fraud could have been prevented if four basic questions were asked. One, is the applicant's social security number valid? Two, if valid, does the name connected to that number match the name on the application? Three, does the birthday match? And lastly, is the individual alive? Seriously, folks, that could have saved $79,000,000,000 right there. The good news is that we can prevent nearly all improper payments in the future with my Doge in Spending Act that enacts common sense guardrails like those four simple questions.

Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1500 a month, and most have taken money from Novo Nordisk, the drug's manufacturer. Once approved for Medicare, it goes to Medicaid, and there's a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as 6 for obesity, a condition claimed to be preventable and recently rare. With 74% of Americans obese, the cost of Ozempic prescriptions for all of them would be $3 trillion a year. Novo Nordisk's value is based on projected Ozempic sales to Americans, yet the Danish government recommends diet and exercise instead. For half the price of Ozempic, every American could receive regeneratively raised organic food and gym memberships. Congress is allegedly doing the bidding of Novo Nordisk instead of supporting American farmers and children because Novo Nordisk heavily funds medical research, the media, politicians, and medical schools.

A $100,000 donation intended to buy food for poor kids in Africa doesn't fully reach them because the NGO subcontracts the work, creating multiple middlemen. Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, estimates that 88¢ of every dollar goes to middlemen. Only 12¢ of each dollar spent on humanitarian assistance reaches the people who need it. There is a lot of waste.

We're allocating half a billion dollars annually, totaling $14.5 billion over time, to organizations like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, NPR, and NPS, essentially funding opinion journalism with taxpayer money. NPR, for instance, recently acquired a $200 million office space and pays its hosts and chief diversity officer exorbitant salaries using taxpayer funds. Despite this financial support, their viewership is declining. Therefore, I've introduced legislation to defund these entities. With a staggering $36 trillion national debt, it's unacceptable for taxpayers to fund what I consider to be biased journalism, regardless of its political leaning. These entities have the right to exist, but not with taxpayer money.

Over a hundred members of Congress are backing a bill to fund Ozempic through Medicare at $1,500 monthly, many having received funds from Novo Nordisk, its manufacturer. Once Medicare approves, Medicaid follows. There's a push to prescribe Ozempic for obesity in Americans as young as six, a condition largely preventable. With 74% of Americans obese, covering Ozempic prescriptions would cost $3 trillion annually. Novo Nordisk's value relies heavily on projected Ozempic sales in the US, yet Denmark, their home country, favors diet and exercise over the drug. For half the cost of Ozempic, we could provide regeneratively raised organic food to every American, three times a day, and gym memberships for every obese American. Why is Congress prioritizing this company over American well-being? I've dedicated my life to solving the childhood chronic disease crisis, and I see an opportunity for bipartisan change to improve American health, our economy, and our nation's spirit.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

Do you think the government spends too much money? Absolutely, it's a given. Recently, they spent $750,000 to study whether it was one small step for a man or one small step for mankind during the moon landing. How is that justified? It's ridiculous. Then there's a million dollars spent to see if cocaine makes Japanese quail more sexually promiscuous. Who cares about quail? And $100,000 to determine if tequila or gin makes sunfish more aggressive? That's absurd. These expenditures are not a good use of taxpayer dollars, especially when you consider how much is spent on military funding.

I've identified wasteful spending in Medicare, specifically with generic Cialis, or Tadalafil. In 2022, Medicare spent $237 million on this drug, averaging $481 per prescription across 492,000 prescriptions. However, at my pharmacy, the same prescription costs only $14 without insurance. That means it would only cost $7 million to cover the entire country at my pharmacy's pricing. The overcharge of $230 million for just this one drug is due to pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). PBMs manage all pharmacy-related aspects for Medicare, deciding coverage, copays, government costs, and pharmacy payments. They've essentially decided on a 3000% markup. It's time to fire the PBMs and bring prices back to reality. To check the markups on your prescriptions, visit forestparkpharmacy.com and use our price checker.

The speaker argues that much of the backlash against SNAP benefits stems from people selling their food stamps. They claim that in New York and other states, individuals go to corner stores or delis to sell their food stamps for cash. The speaker states that some people receive around $7,000 in food stamps and sell them for cash, while others get about $4,000 in food stamps and take roughly $1,000 in cash. They emphasize that this selling is happening “everywhere.” The speaker also notes that people who sell food stamps will never admit to doing so, but asserts that it is happening.

Manufacturers must supply the FDA with evidence that their chemicals are safe before being added to foods. The speaker claims the burden of proof falls on the manufacturer seeking profit, not the FDA. The FDA relies on user fees and budget appropriations for funding. Manufacturers pay fees based on the weight of each batch, which supports the FDA's color certification program. The speaker suggests this system is essentially bribery, using a hypothetical example of a cartel making cocaine baby food and paying for a study to prove its safety. In fiscal year 2022, user fees accounted for $2.9 billion of the FDA's $6.2 billion budget. The speaker concludes that nearly half of the FDA's budget comes from big food and big pharma, which they believe is a conflict of interest.

Big food, big pharma, big chemicals get super wealthy. Right? What is the product of health care? It's a healthy body. If we take The US population and compare it to the world, we're at the very bottom when it comes to health, yet we spend the most for health care. Over $4,100,000,000,000 every single year.

The Doge report reveals that US healthcare corporations spent 95% of their income on shareholder payouts, totaling $2,600,000,000,000 over the last 20 years. US taxpayers reportedly pay about 70% of these fees. Additionally, $2,700,000,000,000 in taxpayer money has been improperly paid out in Medicare and Medicaid to people outside of the United States.
