1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: We're focused solely on hospice fraud in California, specifically in

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County. A state audit just came out and

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: confirmed that there's at least three and a half billion

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: dollars billion dollars in hospice fraud, primarily in one county,

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County, in California. That three and a half

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: billion dollar price tag represents over ten percent of the

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: total bill for the federal government for hospice in all

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: fifty states, in every city and every state in America.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: So the red flags are there that there was rampant fraud.

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: There's a whistleblower that's come forward that alleges that Gavin

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: Newsoon neew about this. This is a very similar scenario

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: to what we had in Minnesota.

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this shouldn't be about politics, But watch how

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: fast some people are going to call a partisan when

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: Republicans start pointing out government waste. So that was James Comer.

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: He is the House Oversite from the houseover Site Committee,

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: and they just opened a formal investigation into what they're

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: calling rampant hospice fraud in California. Three point five billion

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: dollars in hospice fraud in one county. So Trump said

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: there was massive fraud in California, and they called him

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: a liar, and then the state's own audit just proved

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: him right. And guess who's having.

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: A really really bad day, Gavin Newsom.

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, his day was ruined.

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, here is what is you know, so frustrating about

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: this and it all ties together and yeah, okay, big shocker.

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: There's massive fraud happening with government dollars in California. Oh,

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: big shocker. There was massive Somali Dare daycare fraud happening

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis. And we had, you know, tons of fraud

30
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: that happened with the you know, billions and billions of

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: dollars that the government gave out during COVID. And look,

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: we've even talked about it yesterday. Here the potential fraud

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: from medicaid in the state of Indiana, and they're concerned

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: about that. And it was that Wall Street Journal story

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: relating to autism care that's kind of sparked a renewed

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: interest in the state of Indiana and potential Medicare fraud

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: or Medicaid fraud. Rather, it just it feels like it

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: feels like we're not getting our money's worth on everything.

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: It feels like that if you play by the rules,

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: you're a sucker. You're a sucker. And we talk about

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: it all the time. We look, we've got the fifth

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: highest gas tax in the nation, yet our roads are

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: a total dumpster fire, and we're talking about a new

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: four to five billion dollar a year toll road fee

45
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: quote also known as a tax coming to us. It

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: feels like we're not getting our money's worth. Just feels

47
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: that way. Look, one out of every seven people in

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: this country work for a government, either federal, state, or local.

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: Nearly fifty percent, nearly fifty percent of workers in this

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: country don't pay any federal income tax, zero federal income tax.

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: It feels like that if you get up and you

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: go to work and you do your job, you come

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: home and you pay your taxes, and you do everything right.

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: And by the way, that's a lot tougher to afford

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: the American life today because things are so out of control.

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: But it feels like if you do everything right, that

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: you're the sucker in all of this. We're the suckers.

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: We're the ones that get up and go to work

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: every day and pay our taxes, and yet so many

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: other people in this country don't pay taxes, are on

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: the federal government teat or the state or local government

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: teat committing fraud. It seems like everywhere. It makes you

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: want to sit here and give up and say, look,

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: I'm not participating in this anymore because I'm the one

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: doing it right, and yet I'm getting killed everywhere I turn.

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why you've seen the rise in people

67
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: saying I'm not paying my income taxes this year. I'm

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: not playing their game anymore.

69
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those aren't even the people I'm talking about.

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: Those are the crazy liberal lefties that are doing it

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: as a protest against Donald Trump. And look, I mean

72
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: it's a bad idea, just so you know, it is

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: a really really bad idea to not pay your income taxes.

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: But it does it makes sense as to why so

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: many in the people in this country are so frustrated.

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: Because you get up, you go to work, you pay

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: your taxes, you do the things you're supposed to do.

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, I do all of that,

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: and life is nearly unaffordable, and all these other people

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: seem to be gaming the system and getting something out

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: of it. Whether it's fraud or on the government teat

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: or anything else. Yet we're the dummies because we're the

83
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: ones doing what we're supposed to do.

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: So you've got seventy providers that were suspended in Los

85
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: Angeles alone in just days. So imagine what they haven't found.

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: This is just from looking for a few days. Now,

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: imagine what they haven't found. And that's why you've got

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: this Fraud Task Force. It's the reason that it exists.

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: The money was always there, is just being stolen. And

90
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: now you've got JD. Vance and he's up and running.

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Shout out to him. They're out in force, proving that

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 2: once again, Donald Trump was right about all the massive

93
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: fraud in California.

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: So I like fraud's are That's certainly what we're going

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: to do, and look, we have to do it. As

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: the President said, this is a problem with as festered

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 4: in this country for far too long, and far few

98
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: people have actually wanted to do anything about it. That's

99
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: what makes this administration different is that we actually tackle

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: the problems to the American people that confronting so very

101
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: happy about it.

102
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's like his team hit the ground running

103
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 2: and the results speak for themselves, seventy suspensions in days

104
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: funding has been paused. And this is what America first

105
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: in practice actually looks like, protecting the taxpayer's money from

106
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 2: career fraud stars.

107
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: In O case, you bring up a really good point

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: in the fact that this is the fraud that we've

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: found so far, think of what as else is out

110
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: there that we haven't found, And it brings me back

111
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: to the days of Elon Musk running DOGE. You know,

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 3: he was only in there, what two three months, really

113
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: kind of operating. Doge found a whole bunch of corruption

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: at USAID didn't even have a chance to get to

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: the nightmare, the fiscal nightmare that is the Pentagon, an

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: organization that hasn't been able to pass an audit in

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: a decade or something near a decade. That's exactly what

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: it is. What else is going on out there that

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 3: we don't know about? And that's one of the reasons why.

120
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: And I know Elon Musk when he did dose, he

121
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: went in there with a chainsaw and there were probably

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: some good government employees that didn't deserve to lose their jobs.

123
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: But at this point, it kind of feels like that's

124
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: the only option we've got left. Just tear it all

125
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: apart and start over from scratch, because it's a disaster.

126
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: Right now, Well, DOGE is back up and running and

127
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: Tim Burchett is the DOGE Committee chairman, and he was

128
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: getting a lot of flak for not doing anything for

129
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: a while, but he did have his first meeting yesterday

130
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: with DOGE subcommittees. Their role is to root out duplications

131
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: in government. He said, they're going to find millions of

132
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: dollars with that, And rather than have a really formal proceeding,

133
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: he called it a round table where they could just

134
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: discuss openly, rather than point someone out and give them

135
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: allotted amount of time to speak. It was much more

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: informal than that. But here's something else you had, RFK

137
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: Junior saying that the Biden White House ordered HHS two

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: eggs nor fraud. Check this out.

139
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 5: I'm not partisan person, but I wanted. Things that I've

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: found out from people in my agency was they were

141
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 5: ordered but durned by the Biden White House not to

142
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: do program integrity, in other words, not to enforce against fraud.

143
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: And they said they were told, we want to focus

144
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: on only enrollment and getting more and more people into

145
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: the system.

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: Just en roll as many people as possible, legal or illegal.

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: That was the directive. So you've got the Biden administration

148
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: that didn't just fail to stop the fraud, they were

149
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: ordering the agencies responsible for stopping it to look the

150
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: other way. That's not just incompetence, that's a policy decision

151
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: that is a huge betrayal of every American tax pair.

152
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: Well, we saw something similar, it wasn't fraud related, but

153
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: saw something similar here in the state of Indiana under

154
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: the Hulkome administration during COVID, we added tons and tons

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: of people to the Medicaid roles here in the state

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: of Indiana with federal COVID dollars, as many people as

157
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: you can which if you had two brain cells to

158
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: rub together, you knew that eventually that sweet sweet federal

159
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: COVID money was going to dry up, and then you

160
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: had all these new people on the Medicaid rolls and

161
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: not enough funding to provide for them. And that's the

162
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,600

00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: did with that COVID money. In Medicaid here in the

166
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: state of Indiana. But their goal was to just get

167
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: bodies on the rolls, get bodies taken part in these programs,

168
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: and we'll just figure out the rest of it later,

169
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: I guess,
