00:00Hello, welcome to another episode of Perstitutionalist Podcast.
00:06I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard.
00:09That's L-E-N-A-R-D.
00:12It looks French.
00:13It's not.
00:14It's Leonard without an O.
00:17Thank you for tuning in, as Graham Norton used to say, on his show.
00:24Let's get on with the show!
00:27Hello, everyone!
00:30Welcome to Perstitutionalist Podcast's first-ever video exclusives week.
00:40What do I mean by that?
00:42Well, these that are airing, and I'm looking down at my calendar,
00:49Monday, May the 18th through Friday, May the 22nd,
00:56and probably another one as a Saturday monologue show previously run video exclusive on May the 23rd will be just
01:08that.
01:09Previously run strictly to my video channels, felt that you all across the 40-ish audio platforms and potentially reading
01:21via transcript,
01:23need to hear these.
01:25So, when a date pops up, you don't pay a whole lot of attention to it because, you know,
01:33it could have been from a month, it could have been a week ago, it could have been a month
01:37ago,
01:38it could have been a quarter, three months ago, even two quarters, six months ago,
01:44that it originally aired as a video exclusive.
01:48At any rate, follow-up to Books Slash Authors Week, May 2026,
01:57the third time I ran a Books Slash...
02:01Well, second time I did a Books Slash Authors Week,
02:06second time already this year, back in October 2025.
02:10I ran three weeks in a row of that.
02:13So, if you haven't checked that out yet,
02:16on Monday, there was Chris Chote.
02:20On Tuesday, what day was that?
02:23Tuesday, that would have been the 12th.
02:25We had Michael Clawson talking about high-bred publishing.
02:33Again, you're recording the doggone mouth and brain, don't want to cooperate.
02:38Wednesday, I had on Angel Giacomo, if I'm saying that right,
02:44I always get it wrong, the Jackson-McKenzie Chronicles series discussion.
02:50Thursday, we had Grace after relapse.
02:56And on Friday, what day was that?
03:00I'm actually recording this brief intro on Thursday, May the 14th.
03:07So, tomorrow, this will have passed, of course, by the time you hear it.
03:13May the 15th, Friday, we'll be north of Broken and Forever Home
03:20with Holly B. Gutwillinger.
03:25Story about a dog.
03:26Great story.
03:28Great talk.
03:28This week, video exclusives.
03:31I don't have handy the various topics.
03:36So, without further ado, let's just get one on, shall we?
03:41Hello, everyone.
03:43This will be video exclusive temporarily because I do.
03:49I know in advance.
03:50This is going to be too good.
03:53It will come out later across my audio platforms, but later.
03:59So, today, Monday, March 30th, 2026, being recorded,
04:05will drop Tuesday, the 31st, as a video exclusive across my video channels.
04:12So, yes, those listening on audio only are reading the transcript.
04:18Yes, weeks, couple months potentially, after March 31st, it drops on video exclusive.
04:28So, it'll come across the audio only platforms.
04:34Tentatively, loosely, I'm using air quotes there for those on video they can see on audio.
04:40You can't see it, obviously.
04:42Duh.
04:43Right?
04:43Loosely in air quotes, titled Medicare fraud.
04:48Touch on a little other thing.
04:50But, so first, not Medicare fraud.
04:54We all know the taxpayer debased fraud of the left money laundering programs of the daycare centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota
05:09area,
05:10as well as exposed now also in California, and exposed to a lot more other blue enclaves, too.
05:22What a shock, what a surprise.
05:24And yet, Doge is going nowhere.
05:28It was a game.
05:29It was a gimmick.
05:31Although, J.D. Vance was put, Doge, putting that in air quotes again,
05:37and Department of Government Efficiency Fraud Task Force, J.D. Vance, put in charge,
05:44held the first thing, I think, today, Monday, March 30th.
05:49So, there are finally some looking into it.
05:54Why does it take the vice president?
05:56Why isn't Congressional Oversight Committees doing this?
06:00What happened to Doge in Congress?
06:03And at the White House, where did it go?
06:07We've known forever, waste, fraud, abuse, tons of fraud.
06:13Year after year after year, this group, that group, some other group, exposes it,
06:19and nobody goes to jail.
06:23Kristi Noem shouldn't have been fired.
06:25Ham Bondi should be fired.
06:29People need to be charged, prosecuted, and put behind bars.
06:38Blondie, as I call her.
06:40Pam Blondie, right?
06:42Glamming for the cameras.
06:44Now, Kristi Noem glammed for the camera in that ad.
06:48That became controversial.
06:50To me, that's not controversial.
06:52I've talked about it before, but let me briefly...
06:57So, she spent $200, what?
06:59Million or billion?
07:03$200 billion, let's say, on an ad trying to get illegals to use the self-deport app.
07:11Now, I don't have a problem with that, because I understand math and economics and basic accounting, debits and credits.
07:22Spend $200 billion to save $750 billion if you had to then send out ICE teams to round them up.
07:35Those who self-deported because of her ad.
07:38We may be...
07:40Again, I've not seen the numbers, so I'm using arbitrary numbers here, but...
07:45Spend $250 billion, save $500 billion.
07:49That's a good deal, morons.
07:54Kristi Noem shouldn't have been fired.
07:56Pam, glam for the cameras.
07:59Blondie Bondie needs to be fired.
08:02The Kristi Noem commercial?
08:05Good thing.
08:08Proper use of our money to save other monies.
08:13But no one in Washington has common sense.
08:18Except Kristi Noem, it appears.
08:20Who got...
08:21Well, not fired.
08:23I talked about this in a bit, right?
08:25She's now bumped over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
08:29So, it's not really a firing.
08:32It's not really a demotion.
08:33It's a lateral move to head up S.H.I.E.L.D.
08:38rather than be head of DHS to...
08:42But the way I see it is appease the left-carriage crying, which you're never going to appease them.
08:48They're going to ask for every cabinet member to be fired.
08:52And they're going to continue to ask for Trump to be impeached.
08:56And then Vance as president to be impeached.
09:00So, why appease them?
09:04Republican base?
09:06Yes.
09:07It would be about time a Republican president answered to the Republican base.
09:15Fire Pam Bondie.
09:17Also, demand Speaker Thune be ousted.
09:22The RINOs got to go.
09:26Okay.
09:27Back to the Medicare fraud.
09:29We touched on those issues.
09:31We touched on the fraud with the daycare centers.
09:37Medicare fraud been an issue forever as long as Medicare has been around.
09:44I've directly seen it in our family.
09:50We didn't catch it.
09:51We didn't know it right away.
09:53When my dad was ailing after a stroke, we got outside care at a farm.
10:02But we didn't know.
10:04They came in taking care of dad.
10:07Helping with dad.
10:10Also, mom was aged, needed help too, was helping with mom.
10:16We didn't know that the Medicare, the way it's set up, there are lapses.
10:26You can get coverage and the help for a while, but then it lapses.
10:31Then it picks back up again.
10:33Then they reapplied it.
10:35So what this firm was doing, technically speaking, fraud,
