The Supreme Court Fight That Could Change America Forever

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the Trump administration’s escalating crackdown on Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the dangerous Democratic push to expand the U.S. Supreme Court,and the predictable results of Callifornia providing taxpayer-funded iPads to prisoners.

First, Charlie and Greg applaud Vice President JD Vance and CMS Director Mehmet Oz for taking a tougher stance against Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The administration announced it is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicare reimbursements to California over concerns the state is failing to combat fraud effectively. Vance warns other states could face similar consequences, while Oz explains the huge benefits we could see from greatly reducing fraud.

Next, Charlie goes deeper into his condemnation of Democrats openly plotting to expand the U.S. Supreme Court by enough seats to give the left a likely majority. Charlie explains why he believes that would be the most damaging event to our constitutional order since the Civil War.

Then, they sigh as California spends $189 million on taxpayer-funded iPads so prisoners, or "justice impacted individuals" as many on the left call them, can contact their families and pursue educational opportunities. Do you think that's what the devices are being used for? No. No, it is not. Charlie rips the waste of money and the Orwellian way the left looks at criminals.

Finally, the New York Times proves Charlie right by promoting the dubious Nicholas Kristoff column on it's main X page, but addressing concerns about evidence and fact-checking to a public relations account with a tiny fraction of the followers that the main page has.
