So if you will, tell us about the piece that you wrote and what you have uncovered in your investigating as a journalist.
27:54
So at AMAC Newsline, which you can read us at amac.us, we covered six insane fraud schemes from the Trump administration as uncovered.
28:04
So a while ago, President Trump tasked Vice President J.D. Vance.
28:09
and then the Federal Trade Commission chair, Andrew Ferguson, with investigating fraud in the federal government, which should probably be like 10 full-time jobs or 100 full-time jobs, right? And so some of their recent investigations include they identified 750,000 people fraudulently enrolled in Obamacare, and that cost the federal government, really cost us, $2.2 billion.

The scary thing about this, and I know you're a financial expert, I'm sure you're aware of a lot of these scams, is that it's not that all these people themselves fraudulently enrolled.
28:52
There's these unscrupulous brokers and agents who get a commission for enrolling people, And so they find ways to sort of scheme people, to trick them into signing up for these Obamacare plans.

5:47
In some cases, these universities had a history of denying- The Turning Point chapters.
5:53
So to be fair, you can't say they only denied them because of what happened in September, um, but that they had a pattern of denying Turning Point USA clubs.
6:04
And so this just continued to happen.
6:06
And, and there was also at least 13 different attacks on Turning Point USA clubs, s- so various events.

levels.

And so, and founders as well, you know, there is a big part of being a founder that it's ego driven.
13:56
A lot of it is ego driven.
13:57
You know, these are risk takers.
13:58
They are incredibly dedicated individuals that are just completely driven.
14:03
And it's a level of drive that you never get as an employee.
14:08
And they want their work done.
