Fox News recently reported that the 340B federal health care program designed to provide discounted drugs to low-income patients at hospitals is facing quote allegations of widespread health care fraud and abuse. According to reports, the program has morphed into a windfall for hospitals and outpatient clinics, leaving behind those who can least afford it. A federal judge blocked a North Dakota law that sought to exploit 340B to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars from drug makers to hospitals and pharmacies, noting that the program is quote being abused to provide a windfall for hospitals.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board weighed in calling abuse of 340B grift and a scam to taxpayers.

**Michael Duncan** (3:40)
Well, it's not around the world. It's in our country this year. For America's 250, the World Cup is here in the United States of America. Football?

Yeah, that's right. That's the way he celebrates this guy. All right. We can drop it. I mean, honestly, liking soccer as an American is a bridge too far. It's a bit much. It's like if your kids play, okay, my daughter plays soccer.
That's great. I support that. But if you're a grown adult and you're like, I'm watching the soccer game, that's crazy.

Smug also didn't root for the USA hockey team in the Olympics.

**Comfortably Smug** (4:09)
They were woke.

**Michael Duncan** (4:09)
I mean, his opinion means nothing.

**Comfortably Smug** (4:11)
I think a lot of the Olympians were woke. I think that we did a good job holding the line and holding them accountable. That's why the US Olympic team won.
