Like and put some silver in your pocket, but you know, there's some situations there that might arise. It's called expensive, gold is not cheap these days. But how are you going to buy gold? Well, check this out. One thing you can control right now that doesn't cost you anything out of pocket is diversifying your retirement savings. So, Birch Gold will help you convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold, something that's a hedge against inflation. And check this out. Right now, Birch Gold is going to give you that special America 250 1-oz silver round that you see there on your screen for every $10,000 you purchase by July 10th. 10 years ago, an ounce of gold was about $1,200. Today, it's around $4,500. And the question is, where will it be 10 years from now? Just text Trump to that number you see on your screen there, 989898 to take advantage of free America 250 silver with qualifying purchase before July 10th. Again, text Trump to that number, 989898. All right, it's 1:42. Thanks again for joining us here on right side. Let's do this. Let's go to President Trump as he spoke with a number of reporters while it was raining there in Maryland, of course, prior to departing for Pennsylvania. So, let's go to some of that right now.
They've arrested, I think, six people in the reflecting pool. So, the reflecting pool looks fantastic. I just got pictures of it. It's beautiful, but somebody went in with a knife and cut it. They cut it up good. And then they cut a 200-350 ft slip in the form of lots of little slips. A real horrible stuff and they destroyed the grass. Put a brand new big load of grass out there, they destroyed it. So, it's all being fixed, but it's a shame. So, I understand five or six people are arrested. The Interior Department can refer to you on that. And I hear they have six people under investigation. You want to see trouble, let them have a nuclear weapon. We're doing very well with Iran, they've been decimated and we're making a deal with them and we'll see how that all goes. And right now, as you probably heard yesterday, we had 19 million barrels of oil come off and that's the biggest in the history of the strait, the Hormuz Strait. Our stock market is through the roof and oil prices are tumbling. We actually hit for a moment today, in fact, I think it's going to break at $70 a barrel. That's lower than we were when we started. And it's been amazing. And the big thing is Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
The Iranians are saying there's no scheduled visit for the IAEA inspectors. Is that part of your agreement?
They're wrong. They're wrong. They're wrong. They know they're wrong. They told us inside and we have it down 100% inspections. And if they were right, I'd cancel the meetings right now.
And Iran says there's no When will those From your view, Mr. President, when will those inspectors actually be on the ground in Iran?
At the appropriate time. There's no rush, but they'll be on the ground at the appropriate time.
The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, has told you many times he doesn't believe that they have the votes to pass it.
You know, he's a leader. John's a leader. That's what being a leader about. Look, we have to be able to get proof of citizenship when you vote. Otherwise, we don't have elections. We have to be able to get voter ID. So, John is a leader and hopefully he can get the votes.
All right, so President Trump on the tarmac there in Maryland at the Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base. And of course flying still in the older so-called older Air Force One over to Allentown, Pennsylvania. He'll be speaking just outside of Allentown in just about 15 minutes or so. We'll see as soon as we see that live feed, we'll take you there. So, let's go from one tarmac to another tarmac where we caught up with the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He spoke with reporters while traveling. Let's take a look at that.
If Iran makes a decision, if its leadership makes a decision that they want to be a country instead of a revolutionary movement that exports terror, they're going to have an opportunity to do incredible things in Iran. I'm not promising you that that's the choice they're going to make. I'm saying if that's the choice that they make, then there will be opportunities. And those opportunities could include investment as you've seen other countries in this region benefit from investment from foreign direct investment. It won't be our investment. It won't be our government's money. But I think that that is something that's going to have to depend on progress made on a host of other security issues that have to be confronted in the days to come.
All right, so we saw the president on the tarmac. He flew of course to Pennsylvania. I'm sure he's landed by now. It's a very quick flight of course from Maryland to PA. And then we saw the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. So, let's just stick to the aviation theme for one quick second. The new Air Force One was seen making a landing recently. I believe there are just a number of test flights or bringing the plane to wherever it needs to go. So, someone caught that on camera and then the House Republicans posted the video. So, let's take a look at clip three.
All right, good stuff. You saw that 250 there, right? Well, coming up in just a little bit, we're going to go to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Keystone state. We're going to go to the state senator Doug Mastriano in just a bit. Obviously, a great patriot there, and of course, that's where everything was founded for our nation, right? Where freedom was birthed in Philadelphia, Independence Hall. If you've never been to Independence Hall, listen, I get it if you're not into going to a city, that's cool. I love the small towns. I love other things other than big cities anymore. That was more of a thing when I was in my 20s, you know what I mean? It's cool to go to a city. I'll still go to one. I'm getting on a rabbit trail here. But anyway, get to Independence Hall because you have to walk into that same room that our founding fathers were in. You literally can do that. That's pretty awesome. Did that with my wife as well. It's pretty cool. All right, anyway, let's go to a clip number one. The state senator Doug Mastriano actually posted a video all about our founding. So, let's just take a look at that.
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, the story of our nation leads back right to Pennsylvania. Because before there was an America, there was an idea. That idea was that our rights come not from man, a king, or a government, but from God. An idea that liberty is a gift from our creator. An idea that free people can govern themselves. And that idea took root right here in 1682 by William Penn, where he established his holy experiment, as he called it, built upon the principles of faith, liberty, and self-government. It happened right here in Pennsylvania. That seed was born forth in 1776 in Philadelphia, where our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of liberty. They boldly declared that our rights come not from a king, but from our creator. That is where the light of liberty was lit. But darkness was still on the scene. Slavery still was rampant in the south. And a decision was made during the Civil War when in 1863, on the fields of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, Americans shed their blood to preserve the Union and to ensure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people would not perish from the earth. Pennsylvania is the heart and soul of our nation, and we saw that again sadly repeated on September 11th, 2001 near Shanksville, where ordinary Americans displayed extraordinary courage with their battle cry from Todd Beamer, 'Let's roll.' Let's roll became America's answer to terror and a testament to the enduring character of the American people. These moments span centuries, yet they are connected by a common truth, that freedom is worth defending, that liberty requires sacrifice, and that our rights come not from the state, but from God. As a soldier, I stood watch along the Iron Curtain during the Cold War and saw firsthand the difference between freedom and tyranny. I saw that liberty does not sustain itself. Each generation must choose whether it is willing to preserve it. That is the lesson of Pennsylvania's history, and it is the challenge of America's future. As we celebrate this historic milestone of 250 years, let us remember the words of Psalm chapter 33, 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.' These words are a reminder that freedom cannot survive without virtue. That liberty cannot endure without faith. And that self-government requires discipline. And that a nation which forgets the source of its blessings loses risking them. For 250 years Americans have crossed oceans, settled frontiers, built communities, defended freedom, and answered history's call. They did not build a perfect nation, but they built an exceptional one. And they entrusted it to us. Now it is our turn, our turn to preserve it, to strengthen it. And it's our turn to ensure that when generations look back on our time, they will say that we were faithful stewards of the liberty we inherited. For generations Pennsylvanians have answered history's call. From Independence Hall to Gettysburg to Flight 93. We have stood in the arena when our nation needed us most. May it be said of us that when our moment came, we stood our post, we did our duty, and kept faith with almighty God. May God bless Pennsylvania. And may God continue to bless the United States of America and your families, too. Thank you guys and God bless you.
Amen to that. We're going to see Doug Mastriano, the state senator of Pennsylvania, live at about 2:00 Eastern time, so 8 minutes from now. Also at 2:05 Eastern, that's when the president is scheduled to deliver that speech in Pennsylvania outside of Allentown. If it's a little bit delayed, of course, we know what to do when that happens here at RSBN because we have a lot of experience and when there's a delay, we continue our live programming, of course, as you guys have grown accustomed to. All right, let's do this. Let's go to a couple of our great sponsors here on Right Side Broadcasting Network. All Family Pharmacy is one of them and you probably know All Family Pharmacy for things like Ivermectin or maintenance medications, Mebendazole, and all of the everyday prescriptions people need. But something a lot of people don't know is they also carry a lineup of the biohacking and wellness therapies. We're really talking about things like GLP-1 or NAD+. How about methylene blue, peptides, and other options that more and more people are looking into as part of their health and wellness routines. You know, it's interesting because a lot of Americans are becoming more proactive about their health. They're not just waiting until something goes wrong. They're looking for ways to support energy, recovery, healthy aging, and overall wellness before issues arise. That's one of the things we like about All Family Pharmacy. They offer both. Whether you need a common prescription medication or you're interested in exploring some of these newer wellness therapies, you can really find it all in one place. The process is simple. Fill out a short online medical form, then a licensed doctor reviews your request, and if approved, your medications are shipped directly to your door. So if you've been curious about things like NAD+, methylene blue, or the GLP-1, or any of the other wellness therapies people have been talking about, you can take a look at what they offer at allfamilypharmacy.com/biohacking, as you see right there. And use that RSBN10 promo code to get that 10% off at checkout. Always good to be prepared, especially if you're out there on a vacation and you need some medication or something, you might want to purchase one of their emergency medical kits. They have a whole ton of stuff there. allfamilypharmacy.com/biohacking. Also, let's go to another sponsor here. As you see Birch Gold Group, you can buy some gold and put some silver in your pocket. But if that's out of your price range right now, check this out. One thing you can control right now that doesn't cost anything out of pocket is diversifying your retirement savings. Now, Birch Gold Group will help you convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold, something that's really a hedge against inflation. And check this out. Right now, Birch Gold is going to give you a special America 250 1-oz silver round for every $10,000 you purchase by July 10th. 10 years ago, an ounce of gold, just an ounce of gold was $1,200. Today, it's around $4,500, and the question is where will it be 10 years from now? Text Trump to 989898 to take advantage of free America 250 silver with a qualifying purchase before July 10th. And of course, you'll get that free info kit from Birch Gold Group. Again, text Trump to the number 989898 today. All right. So, we're about 5 minutes out from the top of the hour. It is Tuesday, June 23rd. We are 11 days away from celebrating our 250th. Looking forward to it. A lot of winning to be had, of course. Before we actually go to a commercial break, let's do this. Let's go to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Joining us now is Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano. Sir, thank you again for joining us. Thank you for your patriotism. That video you made was awesome. We just watched it here on the network. Can you talk to us about why do a video like that?
Thank you for having me back on, Matthew. Great to see you, man. God is good. He's blessed this country with 250 years of freedom. And you know, we saw all the window into how nations normally go in 2019 and 2020 when governors stripped away under the dictatorial rules and random rules of Dr. Fauci, stripped away our freedom to worship as much as we could, even speech. We were censored for having alternate opinions on what was coming out. And I think the video was important to me because we need to remember that these rights were of course fought for and secured. Now, it's up to each generation to maintain those. And we what a great way to celebrate though and remember how remarkable and unique this country is. You know, we see upwards of 12,000 arrests every year in the United Kingdom, I'm told now, every year for violations of posting something mean online. That's the way it normally is. In America, we're not like that. Let's celebrate freedom and make our country even greater in the future.
Exactly. I mean, I would want to replay that soundbite you just said 9 million times in a row. I don't have to say another word until after the 9 millionth sound You see what I'm saying? Like because a lot of times people want to say so many things, but at the end of the day, the simple truth is we're looking for common sense. What will keep the freedom going, sir? What will keep the freedom going? The Save America Act passing is one of them, right?
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. You know, the idea is that the Democrats generally oppose that those elected office oppose to voter ID to ensure safe elections. You know, Matthew, how embarrassing is it when I can say with some degree of confidence that the elections I saw underneath international and ISAF supervision in Afghanistan are more secure than what happens some of these states around the nation here. That just breaks my heart. We cannot be so, you know, nearly woolly about voting. It's most sacred thing. And you know, every legal vote should count, and we should safeguard that.
I want to talk to the maybe hundred or so people on Truth Social that when I post something that's patriotic, right? I might post a Freedom 250 flag or something very basic. It's very simple. It's just a love for the country. It's pride for the country. And about a hundred people will hit the like button on there. I want to talk to those hundred people, figuratively speaking, because you're like that person that is like me and like a lot of people across this nation that just they love God, family, country. They want to see freedom. They don't want to see what's going on in Europe here. We don't want Sharia law. We want the constitutional law. We want our freedom of religion and freedom of the press and all the things. And to be concerned that we could flirt with or possibly go to anything like Northern Ireland right now or maybe even the UK or even China or even California under Gavin Newsom if he ever would become president. It's concerning. So, how do you kind of overcome that massive concern? I mean, is it just prayerfully, lawfully, spiritually just fight for your freedom? I mean, is that what you're doing?
You know, being a voice. You know, in Christian circles a lot of time people nonchalantly just say, you're speaking about difficult times in politics or the world seeing it like, 'Oh, it's God's will.' No, it's not. And I think that's an American Christian cop out to me. You know, I'm not going to do anything about it. I'm going to, you know, leave it throw it at God and say that you whatever happens happens. He expects modern-day Esthers, you know, or Jonahs to rise up and to be a voice and to be something. Yeah, being in politics was not my first choice. You know, I wanted to be a soldier and I did it until the army said you're too old, time to retire, Colonel. And I had a sweet job post-army working for the federal government as so many retired officers do and I was challenged by a young man. I was retiring, I was still in uniform. He had me on to talk about Russia and foreign affairs which, you know, I had some degree of expertise in. And but our off-air is kind of, you know, Levi, I'm reflecting my 30 years of service and it just seemed like so much of the place is wasted because the country seems like it's falling apart and this young man looked over at me and said, 'Well, Colonel, do something about it.' And we talked and that hit me in the heart. I went home and talked to my wife like we can't ride off into the sunset with that sweet job and you know, God led us to running for Senate in the end and here we are.
You know, I that's what I really like about what you just said there is very key that I would love to highlight here with you and to those that are watching live and on replay. That's what I love about interviews, sometimes you just kind of get lost in just the conversation and that's I love doing that. But anyway, so you were saying how a lot of times people say, 'Well, God, if it's God's will, you know, we're just going to let it go and let it just happen.' But I've heard pray like it all depends on God, but work like it all depends on you. You know, if we didn't go out and vote in 2024, if we just said, 'Oh, God's going to take care of it.' And this is nothing against God. I'm Trust me, I have my connection to God. I believe a lot of you do too out there. So, I'm cool with saying this. But he wants us to do our part. If we didn't go and vote, sir, we would not have Donald Trump in office. It would be Kamala Harris. And we'd be like, 'Well, God, didn't you?' And he's probably like, 'Well, didn't you?' All right?
I agree with that. What a great analogy. You know, I agree 100%. And you know, the idea that we're going to use, you know, God's will as an excuse for inaction here, that's just wrong. That What is his will? His will is that none perish, but also come to salvation. That's his perfect will. His will is not for the United States decay and rot or England or Great Britain or Ireland or pick a country. You know, his will is that people will walk as free men and women. John 8:36, Jesus set you free, you are free. And you walk freely. William Penn, the founder of our Commonwealth, but also I could argue the founder of our nation because he set forth the ideas of the government. He went to jail six times for sharing his faith in Jesus Christ in Great Britain. And one time King Charles II, who was a friend of his father's, William Penn's father was a famous admiral during the Anglo-Dutch War, saved London. Big deal. And King Charles II got word to William Penn on his fifth or sixth imprisonment, 'Hey, if you just tone down the talk about Jesus and put away your Bible, we'll let you out of jail early.' And he said, 'I'd rather die in prison than compromise on my faith.' So, when he came to when he was given the Commonwealth grant under King Charles II, as a way to repay a debt to the family, the ideas of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, those are all ideas that William Penn wished existed in England when he was in prison. And he brought his experience of being in prison for believing the wrong things, you know, not obeying the king's perfect commands, and walking as a free man. He wanted to establish a commonwealth in which Pennsylvania became the place where a nation was born. And those ideas in our Bill of Rights arguably are largely from him. Some are clearly from revolution, but many are from him.
Thank God for William Penn. You know, thank God for our founding fathers. Thank God for these people that did the right thing. And look, we all have received the benefit of these right choices. And you look around at the world, and I don't know why, thank God we were born here, but I'm glad we were, of course, but I don't want to take that for granted. I know you don't either. And then finally, sir, let's just we're before we actually talk about Freedom 250 in 11 days, I just want to touch on one more thing. You know, I remember hearing from a pastor back in the day, he said something about, you know, on your tombstone, it's the year you're born, it's the year you die, and he goes, 'Well, what's in the middle?' And we'd sit there quietly, and he'd say a dash. And that's kind of how quick it can be sometimes. That we're born, it's a dash, and then it's over. Now, Jesus may return in 10 years, and we'll be still around, and who knows, but the point is, what would be your word of advice and encouragement as someone that is former military, you have your state senate seat there, you have a lot of people that follow you on X and other places out there because they like you, you know, they like Doug Mastriano. What would you say to the people that are I don't know, dealing with something very difficult right now. How do they overcome that?
A lot of people go through dark times, and even as we have this great celebration coming up here shortly on this America 250, but push through it, you know, seek God's wisdom, seek his grace. You know, there's nothing that you've done that he can't forgive if you turn your life over to him. So, my hope is in Jesus Christ and that's where the hope of all of Americans and all of America really rests. As we've heard so much from the leadership of our country from President Trump to Marco Rubio to Pete Hegseth and Bodie speaking truth to power, which is amazing to me. But persevere, you know, don't take a permanent solution to a temporary problem. And some people in our society despair and think about self-harm. This is a temporary problem you're in and think about the people who are going to suffer with your loss. God has a unique specific plan for each of us here. He raised up Matthew Alvarez to be a voice, you know, on the airwaves for millions of people here. And perhaps out there you persevere through the dark times. He's got a perfect plan for you. So, ask him where you need to be. And if maybe it is a run for office. I don't know. And if it is, you got to follow his lead and you know, he does have a perfect plan. Ephesians 3:20 says his plans are greater than you can imagine or think. And that is a promise for every man and woman that is listening to this right now.
Exactly. And we love the great commandment. Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind and your neighbor as yourself. It's just Those aren't just words. If you can put that into action and I need to do a better job of that. I'm not going to come out here and be like, 'Hey, I'm perfect.' Who says that, right? Except for lunatics out there. But I guess the point is Freedom 250. I mean, 11 days from now. And thank you for the encouraging words there. I hope it encourages somebody. And it's what I like about conservative media. We don't have to do what the mainstream media does. Play TV. Don't talk about Jesus. Don't talk about freedom. And you know what I mean? I love that there's this new thing called conservative media. But anyway, final word, sir. Freedom 250. We've got the president tomorrow in DC at a America's Back Rally. July 4th going to be awesome. He's going to have the new Air Force One flying with the jets and all. I mean, what do you think about that? I mean, it's a pretty cool way to celebrate our nation's founding.
President Trump definitely knows how to celebrate America here. He's made America great again. Very proud and patriotic moment to have him as our president on the 250th is very befitting of the nation.
It is. All right, state Senator Doug Mastriano of Pennsylvania. Thanks again for the interview there. Great to speak with you and you know what? Let's play that video once again, director. The one from the state senator. Let's play that right now. Thank you, sir, again for joining us.
Thank you, Kathy.
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, the story of our nation leads back right to Pennsylvania. Because before there was an America, there was an idea. That idea was that our rights come not from man, a king, or a government, but from God. An idea that liberty is a gift from our creator. An idea that free people can govern themselves. And that idea took root right here in 1682 by William Penn, where he established his holy experiment, as he called it, built upon the principles of faith, liberty, and self-government.

May it be said of us that when our moment came, we stood our post, we did our duty, and kept faith with almighty God. May God bless Pennsylvania. And may God continue to bless the United States of America and your families, too. Thank you, guys, and God bless you.
And of course, Pennsylvania is the site of today's speech for President Trump, and that is scheduled for 2:05 Eastern. It's 2:10. Of course, President flew from Joint Base Andrews some time ago, and we'll be seeing the President here within this hour, of course, as he will be delivering a speech just outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I'll have some live interviews here at the studio in the meantime, but definitely looking forward to the coverage tomorrow. Also, on the 25th, June 25th through July 10th, that is the Great American State Fair brought to you by Freedom 250. So, I'm looking forward to all that. I have the Freedom 250 flag here, too. Wearing that pin today. And that's all nice and dandy, as they say, but really, outside of all of the pomp and circumstance, really, it's about the United States of America, our lovely country, our free country, and we want that to continue for another 250 years, as we are 11 days away from celebrating our country's independence for the 250th time. All right, we have one more live interview coming up. We'll see if that happens though, because we know that the president is scheduled to speak in Pennsylvania outside of Allentown there. So, as soon as we see the president, we'll go there. And that next live interview is about 6 minutes from now, but we have something to share with you here, of course, as well. As RFK Jr. spoke about healthcare fraud today at the DOJ. So, let's go with that. Let's go to that from the HHS Secretary.
President Trump directed this administration to confront healthcare fraud aggressively, and we are doing that. The 2026 National Healthcare Fraud Takedown uncovered $6.5 billion in alleged fraud, the second largest amount ever charged in a single healthcare fraud operation. The Department of Justice charged a record number of Medicaid fraud defendants, more than 440 defendants now face charges. This effort brought together federal agencies, state partners, and US territories across the United States. 18 of the participating states, as Attorney General Planch pointed, were blue states with Democratic governors. Fraud does not recognize party lines and neither does accountability. Today's cases include the largest Medicaid fraud enforcement action in Department history. 165 defendants charged with allegedly submitting more than $200 million in false claims to Medicaid. These schemes did not target government programs. They targeted the American taxpayer. They stole money from workers who paid taxes, from families who depend on Medicare and Medicaid, and from patients who trusted their health care professionals to be serving their health interests when it turns out they were just chasing money from our agencies. The allegations in these cases are particularly disturbing. Some defendants allegedly ordered medically unnecessary tests. Others prescribed products that patients did not need. And allegedly fueled opioid addiction to increase their own revenue. In certain cases, patients allegedly died while believing they were receiving legitimate medical care from providers who only viewed them as billing opportunities. These defendants did not simply break the law. They violated the trust that patients place in medical professionals. One of today's indictments charged a hospital owner in Los Angeles area and two marketers in a $27.7 million Medicare fraud scheme. According to the indictment, the owner paid illegal kickbacks to obtain personal information of deceased Medicare beneficiaries. One of the ways that Colin and Dr. Oz have been chasing down hospitals while we've just closed now 800 in LA. And one of the ways that we've been able to detect that fraud is that in many of them the patients never die. They live forever. It's not supposed to happen in hospices. And this particular owner was actually going out and purchasing names from coroners of dead patients and then billing us for those. Make it appear that some of these patients were actually finally dying. And while taxpayers funded these false claims, the owner purchased a Rolls-Royce Phantom. That case illustrates exactly what is at stake. Every fraudulent dollar diverted to a criminal scheme is a dollar unavailable for patient care, for medical innovation, or for services for vulnerable Americans. During the Biden administration, my predecessor implemented two reforms at HHS. One of those was a so-called pay and chase system. We know on billing, when invoices come into my
We can tell that some of them are fraudulent or probably fraudulent, and the new system said we're not going to stop those payments. We want everybody paid and then we'll claw them back at the end. It was called pay and chase. And when I asked people, the careers at HHS, how could you do this? This is crazy. Because of course we never claw back anything. They said that they were told to focus on enrollment and not fraud. The other thing that they did is to liquidate our program integrity office. So when my predecessor came into office, there were 80 people in program integrity, which is not enough. It's 50 states and five territories. And when I got in, there was only six left. So all of those people were transferred or let go, and we were literally doing no program integrity. And that opened up the floodgates for all of this fraud, $100 billion in fraud a year that are being stolen now from an agency. The federal government paid claims first and chased fraud after the money was out the door. And that approach, of course, failed taxpayers. We are ending it. HHS is replacing the old pay and chase system with a detect and prevent strategy that identifies suspicious claims before the taxpayer dollars ever leave the Treasury. We are deploying advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics to identify fraudulent billing patterns in real time, stop improper payments before they occur, and strengthen oversight across federal health programs. Our objective is straightforward: to stop the fraud before it happens. The people charged today should understand that we will continue expanding these capabilities, strengthening enforcement, and pursuing every credible allegation of fraud. If you exploit patients for profit, if you steal Medicaid or Medicare dollars, if you treat taxpayer dollars as your personal bank account, we will investigate you, we will build a case, and we will bring you to justice. We will find fraud, we will stop it, we will recover taxpayer dollars whenever the law permits, and we will restore integrity to the programs that millions of Americans rely on for their care.
All right, so that was from RFK Jr., of course, at the DOJ talking about health insurance fraud and other types of fraud out there. You could always check out some of those clips on X, Truth Social, RFK's page, as well. Always good to just bring a lot of the content that we're seeing out there here to you, but also within that 24/7 news cycle. I mean, if there's a huge tornado, storm, hurricane, we'll still talk about those kind of things too. But obviously, our primary focus is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as you can see behind me.

We are getting ready for a huge day tomorrow in D.C., the America is Back rally. We'll have our correspondents on the ground there, interviewing We the People. Quite the patriotic time here at Right Side Broadcasting Network. Before we get to the president, let's go to our last interview of the broadcast. Let's go to Jack Tomczak with Americans for Citizen Voting. Jack, thanks so much for joining us here on Right Side.
Definitely. Let's talk about this group here, Americans for Citizen Voting. I assume that you're the founder. Can you talk to us about it?
I am not the founder. I'm just a lowly employee. We do what the name suggests. For the last five years, we've been working with state legislators to amend state constitutions to make it so only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote, which is how most people assume it is anyway, and how most people assume their constitution is written. But if your state constitution says all citizens over the age of 18 are allowed to vote, or every citizen over the age of 18, or any — that's not good enough. It has to be only. Because if it's any of those other versions, your municipalities will be able to legalize non-citizen voting, as we're seeing in Los Angeles. Right now, there are 24 cities across four states plus the District of Columbia that have legal non-citizen voting in their municipal elections. In Washington, D.C., you could work for the Chinese government, but as long as you lived in D.C. for 30 days, you can vote in their municipal elections. So that is primarily what we've done. Last year, we started to look at the U.S. Constitution and found that that needs to be amended as well. In Article 1, Section 2 and the 17th Amendment, where it says who can vote for the House and the Senate, it says that whoever a state allows to vote for their state legislature, those same people can vote in elections for members of Congress. So let's take California, where Los Angeles is. If California were to let non-citizens vote for their state legislature, those same people would instantly be eligible to vote in the elections for Congress. And there's no state statute or federal statute that can break that connection because it's in the Constitution. So we're trying to amend the U.S. Constitution with HJR 152, a bill by Congresswoman Laurel Lee out of Florida. And it's in Jim Jordan's Judiciary Committee, and we are awaiting a hearing. So if you know Jim, give him a call and ask him for a hearing for HJR 152.
All about Americans for Citizen Voting. I absolutely love what's going on with your group because we've been talking about the Save America Act at a nauseating pace here because we want to see some momentum from the federal level on Capitol Hill. But outside of that, I said if the federal government will not pass the Save America Act, specifically Congress, then maybe the state and local governments could do something about it too, right? So we had some people on in Ohio the other day talking about voter ID within Ohio, but you guys are looking at it as a whole approach here. Every state, right? That's pretty awesome stuff to be involved in. How did you get involved in all that?
I was working for the Republican Party of Minnesota, and my boss called me and said, 'Hey, what are you doing?' And I said, 'Well, I'm tired of working in the Republican Party in a blue state of Minnesota.' So he picked me up. But what's interesting about the Save Act and the Save America Act with the citizenship verification part of that — if that were to pass and become federal law, all a state would have to do to avoid that would be to legalize non-citizen voting in their state. Then there's no reason to verify citizenship, because non-citizens will be able to vote in state and federal elections.
