California is repaying $1.6 billion previously charged to the federal government for health care services provided to illegal immigrants, and a larger program integrity issue is claimed to exist in the state’s health care system. The speaker instructs Governor Newsom to produce within three weeks a comprehensive program integrity action plan to address major fraud. Three examples of alleged embarrassing fraud in California are highlighted: 1) In-home supportive services (which California shares with Minnesota) include personal care such as bathing or grooming, household tasks, cleaning and cooking, shopping, and transportation. These are tasks that families could perform, but government funding is said to have generated significant cash for unethical people. California spending for these services increased from eight to twenty-eight billion dollars over the past decade, with a claim that federal taxpayers are paying 250% more for California, an affluent state, and that the program is still growing by double digits annually. 2) In 2024, spending for home health care in California purportedly rose by more than 21%, representing the largest growth rate for any major health category nationwide. The number of home health agencies in California reportedly almost doubled between 2019 and 2024. Los Angeles County alone is said to account for $1.4 billion, representing almost 9% of total fee-for-service home health spending for the entire country, despite having just 2% of national enrollment. The assertion is that this concentrates home health funds in L.A. County, limiting access for other Americans who could benefit from these services. 3) The 2022 California state auditor report is cited as showing that the number of hospice agents in Los Angeles County increased by 1,500% since 2010, a growth rate that allegedly far exceeds the 40% increase in the senior population over the same period. The speaker questions how a sevenfold increase in hospice could be defended, noting reports from seniors who claim they were duped by fraudsters and that California is not stopping these criminals. The speaker reiterates that Governor Newsom’s deadline for a comprehensive program integrity action plan is approaching and urges action to save American lives rather than enabling criminals.

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.

The Doge team is following the money to make real changes. New York is prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens, but that stops today. Our committee will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government, and present plans to fix these problems. We will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team. This week, we're focusing on improper payments by the federal government, including in Medicaid and Medicare. Elon Musk is showing the country the fraud, waste, and abuse that has been going on for decades, and Americans are cheering. Reciprocal tariffs will make America great again.

The speaker claims corruption in the Democrat party is at an all time high. New York Governor Kathy Hochul spent $178,000 in taxpayer funds on private jet travel after signing legislation for fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion for carbon emissions. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James paid $483,000 to the law firm Davis Polk starting in April of last year, four months after Kathy Hochul's husband was hired by the company. James is under investigation from the DOJ for falsifying documents and claiming she legally lives at a property in Virginia for a better mortgage. Hochul then passed a new budget that includes $10 million in legal funds for James, paid for by New York taxpayers. Forensic accountant Sam Antar says a contract between the attorney general's office and Davis Polk was dormant until Hochul's husband joined the firm, after which money started flowing. After James got into trouble, she received $10 million from the state for a criminal defense. Antar believes there is something very corrupt happening and is expanding the scope of his investigation into Hochul's dealings with James.

Doge is proving that the Democratic Party is no longer a political party but an international crime syndicate. Doge found $3 trillion improperly used by the US government through USAID since 2004, including $764 billion in the last three years under Joe Biden and $170 billion in the last year alone. This includes $530 million going to illegals and $644 million of fraud. The more Doge digs, the more it seems like this is just the tip of the iceberg. The Democratic Party is in trouble because looting the treasury is unconstitutional. These folks need a lawyer.

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.

The speaker asserts that last year California spent $9.6 billion on health care for illegal immigrants. They claim the media has misled people by saying that no federal dollars go to undocumented immigrants, stating that this is fundamentally wrong. The speaker points to Governor Newsom, who allegedly announced that California is the first state in the nation to provide health care to illegal immigrants. They also claim that San Francisco operates the only universal health care plan in America for all undocumented residents, expressing pride in that status. According to the speaker, a key mechanism behind federal funding for care provided to undocumented individuals is the expansion of medical access through emergency departments. They contend that emergency departments are backfilled and funded at a rate of one dollar from the federal government. The implication is that any time an illegal immigrant uses the emergency room, federal dollars are brought in to cover or support that care, effectively meaning there are federal dollars being spent on illegal immigrants. The speaker asserts that the statement that there are no federal dollars going to illegal immigrants is a lie, arguing that California is facilitating this funding. They also claim that the media is lying about this issue as well. Throughout the statement, the overarching themes are the existence of substantial state spending on undocumented health care, the involvement of federal funding through emergency department backfill, and the portrayal of these facts as being misrepresented by the media. In summary, the speaker emphasizes four main points: (1) California’s reported $9.6 billion expenditure on health care for undocumented immigrants, (2) Governor Newsom’s assertion that California is leading the nation in providing health care to illegal immigrants, (3) San Francisco’s universal health care plan for all undocumented residents, and (4) the mechanism by which emergency department funding from the federal government allegedly backfills care for undocumented individuals, leading to federal dollars being spent on them. The speaker concludes by asserting that the claim of no federal dollars supporting illegal immigrants is false and accuses the media of lying.

THE DOGE report alleges that funds are siphoned from the public through NGOs and government contracts. The speaker cites two examples: "Senator Sheldon White house is under the hot seat right now because he backed the legislation that approved $14,200,000 to go to ocean conservatory." A second case concerns "Family Endeavors" in Pecos, Texas, meant for overflow of immigrant children; it has been empty since 02/2021, while "we have been paying 18,000,000 million dollars a month" to keep it open. A board member was "one of Biden's transition team members." The presenter then says, "This is my opinion only. From this point on, everything I've told you so far is facts. You can go look it up online. This is my opinion only. I call that a payoff." They conclude, "That is how they steal from you. That is today's DOGE report."

Doge started unraveling government spending, revealing allocations like $200,000,000 for transgender experiments on monkeys. This is claimed to be just the tip of the iceberg. The speaker references a map of 50,000 NGOs, alleging it was exposed as a Democratic propaganda machine with money being funneled in a circular fashion.

The speaker describes spending in Los Angeles on homelessness, stating that last year $13,000,000,000 was used to combat homelessness in the city. They claim that this money went to “these trash nonprofits” where “a bunch of executives” earn “half a $1,000,000 a year.” The speaker asserts, “You’re working for a nonprofit dealing with homelessness. That’s my money. That’s my parents’ money.” They emphasize that hardworking people of California pay incredibly high taxes that fund this through the claimed expenditures. The speaker connects this spending to the broader political perspective by saying they are sick of it and describe their experience on the ground in California as causing them to question a lot about left-wing ideology.

Chairman Marcia Taylor Green's subcommittee discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients. These payments went to individuals who should not have received them. Doge is identifying fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Elon Musk mentioned Social Security payments being sent to deceased individuals. There are also contracts where, for example, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was disbursed, raising questions about the missing funds. Doge is actively addressing these issues. President Trump campaigned on this and is delivering on that promise.

Doge has uncovered some serious issues. The Democratic Party isn't just a political entity anymore; it seems to be an international crime syndicate. Doge has found that the US government, via USAID, has misused $3 trillion since February 2004. Under Joe Biden, we're looking at $764 billion in the last three years alone, with $170 billion in the last year. There were $530 million funneled to illegals and $644 million in fraud. Doge's findings are just the beginning, it seems. The Democratic Party is in trouble because looting the treasury is unconstitutional based on Article 1 Section 9. They're going to need a lawyer.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

A taxpayer complains about the waste of their money by an unnamed individual. They claim $24 billion was spent on the homeless population, but it remained at 181,000. Another $5 billion was allegedly spent on water storage, yet there was no water during state fires. The speaker also claims $14.4 billion was spent on a high-speed railroad, with only 22 miles prepped and zero miles of track laid. Furthermore, they allege $105,000 of taxpayer money was used for billboards in red states advertising California as an abortion sanctuary, and $44 million was allocated to uninsured abortions. The speaker asserts that despite spending almost $50 billion, the homeless population grew, there is no water, and there is no high-speed train. They also claim property burned due to lack of water, and the individual is trying to buy it for pennies on the dollar for low-income housing.

In Downtown LA Skid Row, the speaker discusses funds allocated to help the homeless that are allegedly unaccounted for. In 2023, Gavin Newsom set aside $750,000,000 to build tiny homes, and in 02/2019, $24,000,000,000 was allocated towards the homeless. The speaker questions the wealth of politicians like Nancy Pelosi, who has served since 02/2007 and has a net worth over $120,000,000, and Maxine Waters, who has served since 1990 and has a net worth over $10,000,000. Gavin Newsom is reportedly building a $9,000,000 home in San Francisco. The speaker claims California's leaders have failed the people of Los Angeles and California, and over 66,000,000 people have left the state in recent years. The speaker criticizes Newsom for doing a podcast and suggests he may be planning a presidential run in 2028.

There's tremendous fraud and abuse happening, and I'm holding a news conference tomorrow to reveal some of the entities that have received hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. It's hard to believe this kind of fraud can occur. When you see billions being wasted illegally, there's likely kickbacks or corruption involved. Millions are given for minimal effort, and that money comes back in some form. They're spending massive amounts of money on ridiculous items. Out of 200 expenditures I reviewed, only three seemed reasonable. I commend Elon for his work in uncovering this fraud. He doesn't need to do this, especially with the abuse he faces. He and his team, which started with 12 people and has now grown to almost a hundred, have found more than anyone else could. People are joining to help because there's massive fraud.

In Downtown LA Skid Row, the speaker discusses the homeless situation, stating that in 2023, Gavin Newsom allocated $750,000,000 for tiny homes, and in 02/2019, $24,000,000,000 was designated for the homeless, but the money is unaccounted for. The speaker mentions Nancy Pelosi, who has served since 02/2007 and has a net worth over $120,000,000, and Maxine Waters, serving since 1990 with a net worth over $10,000,000. Gavin Newsom is reportedly building a $9,000,000 home in San Francisco. The speaker claims California's leaders have failed the people of Los Angeles and California, and that over 66,000,000 people have left California in recent years. The speaker criticizes Newsom for hosting a podcast and suggests he may be planning a presidential run in 2028.

The speaker asserts there is waste in government spending, which was the idea behind "doge." Elon Musk did not find $2 trillion, but he only worked on it for 130 days. The idea that there must be a perpetual audit of government is now embedded in everyone's head, regardless of political affiliation. The brand for this idea is "Doge."

The transcript claims that people protesting against ICE do not realize their rights were “completely violated” the previous day by the California State Legislature. It states that, in the Assembly, Democrats advanced a potential per-mile tax by a simple majority vote, asking the California Transportation Commission for recommendations by 2027 to implement a per-mile tax charging “two to nine cents for every single mile” driven. The speaker says this would cost families about $1,200 to $4,200 extra each year, depending on how estimates turn out, and describes it as punishing people for needing to fulfill work and family obligations. The transcript also claims the US House decided that cars made past 2026 should continue to have kill switches, describing this as a decision made by the Biden administration. It argues that if California sends monthly or quarterly per-mile-tax bills and someone refuses to pay, the government could “kill switch” the car, meaning that refusing payment would prevent driving. Finally, the speaker says the public is “supposed to trust them with our money,” citing a report about a homelessness program run by Newsom. The transcript claims that $11 to $12 million was spent, but the program helped only 22 people, and characterizes that outcome as “absolutely ludicrous.”

We're kicking off the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge to tackle government waste, fraud, and abuse. Our national debt is $36 trillion, a staggering amount that's growing out of control due to compounding interest. By 2025, interest payments could exceed our entire military budget, reaching $1.8 trillion by 2035. This debt, a betrayal by elected officials, is enslaving Americans and fueling inflation. Unlike private businesses, the federal government faces no consequences for failure, taking our tax dollars regardless of performance. Congress's low approval reflects public disgust, and we must act. This subcommittee, comprised of both Republicans and Democrats, will work with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team to combat waste. This week, we're focusing on improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare, seeking solutions to this crisis.

California provides state Medicaid to all illegal migrants and has allegedly created a system to siphon Medicaid dollars. Governor Newsom initially estimated free healthcare for illegal immigrants would cost $6 billion, but it's now $10 billion. This incentivizes illegal immigration. The governor claimed the federal government would reimburse the cost, but it's hitting the general fund, with one in four Medi-Cal dollars going to illegal immigrants. Newsom admitted Medi-Cal is broke and can't pay healthcare providers. Providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants risks health insurance for the neediest. The Medi-Cal system should be audited. It is illegal for federal Medicaid dollars to cover illegal migrants.

The transcript presents a speaker arguing that Gavin Newsom’s welfare fraud problems are far worse than those attributed to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and that the liberal media is not addressing these issues. The speaker states that Newsom “allowed $30,000,000,000 in fraudulent welfare payments to be issued by the unemployment agency,” and that as a result, small businesses in California must pay off all of that debt through higher payroll taxes. The speaker contrasts this with Walz, who is “accused of allowing $250,000,000 of food stamp fraud to occur to Somali organizations.” The speaker asserts that Newsom’s food stamp fraud is at a multi-billion-dollar level and claims Newsom’s food stamp fraud rate is “thirteen point four percent,” describing it as “three out of every 20 benefits managed by Newsom's administration for food stamps completely fraudulent.” Additionally, the speaker contends that California funds “left wing NGOs,” including various Somali community organizations in Minnesota, and asserts that “a lot of those NGOs are using taxpayer money for politics.” The speaker claims that the liberal media is not covering any of these scandals and asserts that people should know these alleged facts because they are not being discussed by the media. In summary, the speaker asserts: - Newsom’s welfare fraud is exponentially worse than Walz’s, with $30 billion in fraudulent unemployment payments allegedly issued by California’s unemployment agency. - As a consequence, small California businesses must bear the cost via higher payroll taxes. - Walz is accused of allowing $250 million of food stamp fraud targeting Somali organizations. - Newsom’s food stamp fraud is claimed to be multi-billion in scope, with a fraud rate of 13.4% (three of every twenty benefits). - California is funding left-wing NGOs, including Somali-related organizations, with taxpayer money used for political purposes. - The liberal media is not covering these alleged scandals, and the speaker asserts these are important facts that should be known.

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."

Speaker 0 expressed disappointment with a large spending bill, claiming it increases the budget deficit. Speaker 0 connected this to the work being done by the Doge team. Speaker 1 stated that everything done on Doge gets wiped out in the first year due to the bill. Speaker 0 stated that a bill can be big or beautiful, but not both, in their opinion.
