The speaker asserts the need to clean up the system, stating they will no longer pay $200,000,000 a year for housekeeping. They claim they will not pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in states submitting those claims. The speaker questions why residents of states like Mississippi, Texas, or Florida should pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in California. They state that the nation needs to be aligned to make the system work.

The speaker emphasizes the necessity of a long-term effort to combat waste and fraud, claiming that it will return if vigilance is relaxed, especially if Democrats regain power. The goal is to eliminate funding and grants, making it difficult to restart wasteful and fraudulent activities. The speaker questions whether government employees respect taxpayer money, suggesting a lack of incentive to do so. They assert that incentives determine outcomes and that the payment system is structured such that requests for money are automatically approved.

The Government Accountability Office released an interim report alleging widespread fraud within Obamacare, linked to actions from the previous administration during the pandemic that weakened safeguards. The speaker asserts that income verifications were eliminated, undermining the process for determining real eligibility, and that the expansion of $0 premium plans increased the risk of people not realizing they are enrolled or being enrolled by unscrupulous brokers. He cites complaints from hundreds of thousands of Americans who didn’t know they were enrolled until they received IRS paperwork related to tax credits. The speaker argues that these problems arose because the prior administration prioritized high enrollment numbers over program integrity, with taxpayers funding the fraud through tax subsidies. Under President Trump and Secretary Kennedy, the speaker claims steps were not taken to address the issues. Key statistics are presented: 4,400,000 improper enrollments identified, including roughly 1,600,000 individuals enrolled in both Medicaid and an Obamacare plan in 2024, with taxpayers covering the costs in both programs and resulting in double insurance. The administration has begun cleaning up the system by removing about a million people who are or should be covered somewhere else, which, according to the speaker, will save taxpayers billions in waste. The speaker notes that the very first rule announced by his administration was the marketplace integrity and affordability rule. This rule would have enforced common sense income verification checks, ensured people enrolled knew they were enrolled, and blocked illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded care. Additionally, the rule was projected to lower premiums across the board for Americans by an average of 5%. However, the speaker claims this rule faced obstruction from blue-city governments, which brought a politically motivated lawsuit that tied up the rule in litigation. He credits Congress for providing additional tools through the working families tax cut legislation to bolster verification in future years. Despite ongoing efforts, the speaker acknowledges that there is still a lot of work to be done, and emphasizes that the administration continues to fight daily to clean up Obamacare problems, with the GAO report highlighting remaining issues.

Speaker 0 introduces a campaign to cut government waste, specifying that deficit reduction requires cutting billions from valued programs, but eliminating pointless waste should be easy. Speaker 1 claims there has been a tremendous amount of waste and fraud in the government during the Biden administration, estimating federal government fraud at half a trillion dollars. The goal is to reduce this figure, saving taxpayer money by stopping spending on things that very few taxpayers would agree makes sense, such as transgender animal surgeries. Speaker 1 also questions why twenty million people who are definitely dead are mocked as alive in the Social Security database.

We've discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients who shouldn't have received them. This is just one example of the fraud, waste, and abuse we're identifying daily. Elon Musk highlighted Social Security payments being made to deceased individuals, which is clearly fraudulent. We're also finding contracts where, for instance, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was actually spent. Where did the remaining funds go? These are the issues we're addressing daily. This is exactly what President Trump promised to do during his campaign, and we are delivering on that promise.

Many Americans are not fond of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, preferring Medicare and private insurance. Most people want to be on private insurance if they can afford it. It's essential to focus on improving care for the elderly, veterans, and the poor. The current Medicaid model is not effectively meeting these needs.

Budget reform isn't an option; it's essential. The American people deserve transparency and accountability to see where their tax dollars go. We must ensure funds are used as intended. We're committed to scrutinizing the federal budget, line by line, eliminating wasteful programs and ensuring cost-effectiveness. It should be easy to cut pointless waste that benefits no one. We aim to establish a new culture of efficiency, not just within our administration, but for every administration that follows. No amount of waste is acceptable when it's your money. We all know government inefficiency exists. Reorganizing and finding efficiency is challenging, and frankly, some of these necessary changes are overdue.

The speaker introduces a campaign to cut government waste, stating that deficit reduction requires difficult choices, including cuts to valued programs. They claim there has been a tremendous amount of waste and fraud in the government during the Biden administration, estimating federal government fraud at half a trillion dollars. The goal is to reduce this figure, saving taxpayer money by stopping spending on things that very few taxpayers would agree makes sense. Examples cited include transgender animal surgeries and the presence of twenty million dead people in the Social Security database.

I made it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Poor people depend on it for their healthcare. His budget calls for deep cuts to Medicaid, and he needs to protect it. We need to raise the cap on Social Security and protect Medicare. These are vital safety net programs. I'm willing to accept any punishment for speaking out, because it's worth it to stand against the President's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. This is about people losing their healthcare in the richest country in the world. Healthcare has become wealth care, and we can't let that happen. I'm also working on articles of impeachment. This President is unfit for office with 34 felony convictions and two impeachments. He has no mandate to cut Medicaid.

The speaker emphasizes the necessity of a long-term commitment to preventing waste and fraud, claiming that these issues will resurface if vigilance is relaxed, especially when Democrats regain power. The aim is to eliminate funding and grants to make restarting wasteful practices difficult. The speaker questions whether government employees respect taxpayer money, suggesting a lack of incentive to do so. They assert that incentives determine outcomes and that the current payment system readily provides funds upon request.

We're paying too much for drugs compared to other countries, and existing laws make it hard to lower costs. The middlemen in the drug industry are profiting significantly without adding value. We're going to eliminate these middlemen to reduce drug prices to unprecedented levels. This topic dominated our discussions with executives and others involved.

The American people are tired of their tax dollars being wasted. For the first time, this president is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. If you agree there is waste, abuse, and corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts and reforms that are being instituted? We are saving Americans billions of dollars and ending the theft, waste, grift, and corruption. We are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. We care about this issue. The American public overwhelmingly supports what President Trump is doing.

The speaker discusses a recent vote in the US House of Representatives to defund the National Endowment for Democracy, arguing that this measure is not neutral or benevolent, but a leftist enterprise. The speaker states that leftists are free to contribute to it, but insists that hardworking Americans should not be forced by the government to contribute to causes they find repugnant, including the NED. Despite this stance, the speaker notes that 81 Republican members of the House voted with all the Democrats to keep the funding stream going, funding the enterprise with federal money. The speaker contends that there should be legitimate disagreement within the Republican Party, but asserts that this issue should not be one of them. When campaigning as a Republican, the speaker says, voters expect basic precepts, including that the US government is too big and expensive because it does too many things it was never intended to do. The speaker argues that Republicans should agree that funds should not be taken from hardworking Americans and given to left-leaning enterprises that undercut everything the party stands for or purports to stand for. If viewers share the speaker’s frustration, they are urged to find out how their representative voted and raise the issue with them. The speaker anticipates that some Republicans will blame the outcome on the Senate filibuster, though they claim the Senate filibuster rule should not affect the House. The speaker argues that such blaming is severely exaggerated and emphasizes the importance of ending the zombie filibuster, calling for a speaking filibuster instead of silent or asleep filibustering. With the procedural concerns addressed, the speaker says the party should move on to implementing policies for which Republicans were elected, including reducing federal wasteful spending, ending funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, and passing the SAFE Act. The speaker describes the SAFE Act as something that “like, 80% of all Americans agree with,” which is to take steps to stop noncitizens from voting in elections. The speaker reiterates the admonition to stay true to the Republican Party and not align with another party, ending with a caution: “Don’t get on the other one. And, good heavens, don’t get on a donkey.”

The speaker states their goal is to make government more efficient and eliminate waste and fraud, claiming current savings exceed $4 billion a day. They believe they will reach a trillion dollars in savings unless stopped. The savings will come from an audit that will not gather dust on shelves, but will result in real savings and bend the base spending baseline down.

Modernizing American medicine will address waste, fraud, and abuse. Last year, 230,000 Americans on Obamacare plans were unaware of their enrollment; brokers profited by enrolling them without their knowledge. California has taken millions of dollars from the federal government to provide free health insurance for illegal immigrants. The government intends to recoup this money. Medicaid patients are also being enrolled in multiple states, resulting in the federal government paying multiple states for the same individual without ensuring they receive adequate healthcare.

I've identified wasteful spending in Medicare, specifically with generic Cialis, or Tadalafil. In 2022, Medicare spent $237 million on this drug, averaging $481 per prescription across 492,000 prescriptions. However, at my pharmacy, the same prescription costs only $14 without insurance. That means it would only cost $7 million to cover the entire country at my pharmacy's pricing. The overcharge of $230 million for just this one drug is due to pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). PBMs manage all pharmacy-related aspects for Medicare, deciding coverage, copays, government costs, and pharmacy payments. They've essentially decided on a 3000% markup. It's time to fire the PBMs and bring prices back to reality. To check the markups on your prescriptions, visit forestparkpharmacy.com and use our price checker.

This Wednesday, the DOGE subcommittee on oversight, working with the Department of Justice, will hold its first hearing. We'll be investigating improper Medicare payments made to deceased individuals and criminals internationally. Eliminating this fraud could save hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. This isn't a partisan issue; it's about saving American money. While this is work that should have been done long ago, I'm hopeful Republicans and Democrats can come together to address this problem. We’ll see how it goes.

My team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $100 billion in wasted Medicare and Medicaid funds. Working with two senior CMS veterans, we had read-only access to their payment and contracting systems. Our mission was to find ways to use resources more effectively, but we discovered massive waste and potential fraud. CMS processes over a billion Medicare claims annually and manages billions in Medicaid funds. They recently suspended 850 agents for suspected fraud. The Department of Justice has also been prosecuting healthcare fraud cases, with billions of dollars in losses. This discovery highlights a massive scandal, potentially the biggest in US history, and is prompting calls for similar transparency initiatives in other countries. We need major reform, absolute transparency over tax spending, and human oversight to ensure this doesn't happen again.

The speaker asserts there is an enormous amount of waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, particularly within Medicare. They claim past proponents of budget cuts are now opposing efforts to eliminate waste. The speaker states that eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare will require cuts, with the goal of cutting the "bad stuff" while preserving the "good stuff." The speaker accuses certain individuals, identified by a picture, of rooting against these efforts, labeling them as examples of waste, fraud, and abuse.

The speaker asserts that individuals must take responsibility for their health, but the current healthcare system incentivizes expenditures rather than outcomes. Doctors are compensated for ordering more tests, creating a misalignment. The speaker advocates realigning incentives to compensate physicians for making patients healthy instead of ordering numerous tests. Some changes require statutory action, but others can be implemented within HHS and CMS. The speaker believes these changes will reduce costs and improve health outcomes.

Republicans should not cut Medicare or Social Security to pay for Biden's spending. Biden has wasted trillions on the Green New Deal and opened our borders to migrants from prisons and mental institutions. Our border is now the worst in the world. Instead of burdening American families and seniors, we should cut spending on corrupt foreign countries, mass releases of illegal aliens, left-wing gender programs in the military, climate extremism, and waste fraud and abuse. We must save Social Security and not let the Democrats destroy it.

It is agreed that a significant amount of money is wasted, with estimates suggesting around a third of all Medicare dollars are spent without providing any useful benefit. The goal is to eliminate this waste, not to cut Medicare benefits. Medicare is a large entitlement program that needs to be maintained without bankrupting the country or denying seniors their entitlements.

We're uncovering massive fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Recently, it was discovered that there were $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas. Social Security payments are even going to deceased individuals. We're also seeing contracts where the full amount wasn't delivered. For example, a million-dollar contract might only see $500,000 distributed, and we're working to find where the rest of the money went. This is exactly what I campaigned on, and what 77 million people elected me to do.

There are no Doge cuts, and this is not USAID. The speaker is talking about waste and fraud, specifically in Medicaid, and claims no one has been turned over to the DOJ for fraud. Elon Musk gave false hope to a political class that doesn't want to cut anything. The big bill has problems, but it passed because Musk promised a trillion dollars. The rescission next week is $9 billion, with $2 billion from PBS and NPR. There's supposedly $7 billion in fraud on a $7 trillion budget. Musk committed $1 trillion to the President, leading to questions about whether it's all "BS."

The speaker addresses concerns about Medicaid cuts, arguing that many proposed cuts are sensible. The first cut limits federal health program eligibility based on citizenship status, affecting those here illegally. The second eliminates Medicare coverage of bad debt, which is unpaid debt after insurance pays. Currently, taxpayers cover up to 65% of Medicaid bad debt, incentivizing hospitals to inflate prices. The proposed change would stop this practice. The third is Medicare site neutrality, ensuring Medicare and Medicaid patients are charged the same prices as those with private insurance or cash. The speaker claims these three cuts alone amount to over $200 billion in savings and suggests that people would agree with these cuts if they researched them.
