00:00It took 30 extra minutes of game time, but Spain are world champs for the second time,
00:04beating Lionel Messi and Argentina 1-0. That's zero for you soccer newbies out there.
00:09President Trump became the first sitting president to attend a World Cup final. He even got to hang
00:14out with that incredible trophy in his luxury box during the game. Now, he was joined by Mexican
00:18President Claudia Scheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Remember, Mexico and Canada
00:23were co-hosts of the tournament. All three leaders were together, both in that luxe box and on the
00:28stage at the end of the game where President Trump presented the trophy to Spain. The president
00:32spoke to Fox Sports ahead of the game. That was the climax of a wildly successful tournament. And he
00:38said this. Based on the numbers, we will be requesting it again immediately. But I said to
00:45take out the shock, you could announce us and maybe then for the next one, another and even another.
00:51But we have to do this again. And we have to do it while I'm around. The U.S. launched
00:56another wave
00:57of airstrikes in Iran over the weekend after multiple American service members were killed
01:01following Iranian missile and drone attacks. Iran claims one of the targets hit by the U.S. was a
01:06nuclear power plant that had been under construction, though as of Sunday evening, the U.S. hadn't
01:11confirmed that detail. Central Command says the strikes targeted Iranian coastal surveillance site,
01:16air defenses, missile storage facilities, drone capabilities, and other military targets used
01:21to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. For more on President Trump's reaction
01:25to Iran's attacks and Iran's anger over the retaliation, let's bring in the New York Post's
01:30deputy managing editor, Michael Zinni. We have seen the conflict really escalate over this weekend.
01:39First, we saw two U.S. service members killed and one more missing. We believe that remains have
01:49been found that could be this service member in Jordan, which is, and this was from Iranian strikes
01:57all the way on the far side of Iraq into the U.S. ally Jordan. As a result of that,
02:06the U.S. struck back
02:07and reportedly hit an under construction Iranian nuclear power plant. The Iranians vociferously
02:17complained about this. They said it was a dangerous strike. Then what was following on that is Kuwait,
02:27which is another strong U.S. ally, reported attacks on a desalination plant, which is really critical to
02:34supplying water in the region as well as energy infrastructure. There was also another U.S.
02:40service member killed, apparently trying to disarm a shot down Iranian weapon in Iraq. So all of this
02:51really did escalate over the weekend. And we saw the range of the conflict really seem to expand.
03:00We will see what comes further from this. President Trump has repeatedly said that Iran,
03:07the strikes on Iran would escalate if the peace agreement, if they did not return to the
03:17memorandum of understanding and to peace negotiations.
03:20The Trump administration is accusing New York's Medicaid program of being riddled with fraud. And now
03:25Dr. Mehmet Oz claims Chinese criminal organizations are behind a lot of it. The head of the Centers for
03:31Medicare and Medicaid Services says Chinese organized crime groups have been using phony pharmacies,
03:36fake medical claims, and social adult daycare centers to drain billions from the system.
03:41After touring Flushing, Queens, Dr. Oz said that he found blocks filled with pharmacies that he
03:46believes exist primarily to bill Medicaid for services and equipment that patients never received.
03:51Here he is on John Katsimatidis' radio show, Cats Roundtable.
03:54They pretend they're sending this really expensive wheelchair. They pretend that they're sending
03:59expensive branded medications. They make scheduling appointments they never go to,
04:04tests they never get, treatments they don't receive or don't need.
04:07Oz says those schemes have generated more than $2 billion in questionable Medicaid billings in the
04:12Empire State. He also took aim at Governor Kathy Hochul, claiming the state has created programs that
04:18make that fraud possible and has turned the federal government into, quote, a piggy bank.
04:23The Hochul administration pushed back, saying it has already saved more than $2 billion through
04:27anti-fraud reforms and will continue to work with federal officials to go after bad actors while
04:32protecting health care for New Yorkers who need it.
