"You would kill Rick Scott" If You Cared About Medicare/Medicaid Fraud

I cannot believe like, I don't know, maybe people just recently got interested

in this

stuff. Maybe is that what it is? Like, where are these people coming from? What

? I know

you're not anti semitic, but consistently breezing over it. This is a lot of

the reason

why Israel's okay with straight up Geno. The fuck do you mean? I think that

that is completely

unacceptable. What are you talking about? Like what? I know you're not anti

German, but

consistently breezing over why the concentration camps were built to begin with

misses. A lot

of the reason why Nazi Germany is okay with the Holocaust.

Yeah, ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Yeah, I can't believe that someone has

the

fucking audacity to do genocide. Apologia. Two questions. It's not please

educate me

because I don't see you talk about it a lot. Genuine questions. What do you

think the

slash claim Israel wants to do? What do you think is the solution? Also, how do

you think

this genocide will end? What do you mean? I think Israel wants to wipe out as

many of

the paths as possible and then slowly but surely rebuild settlements in the

Gaza Strip

and turn the Gaza Strip back into the West Bank overtake larger parts of the

West Bank

and also completely completely destroy any sort of of Palestinian existence in

the region.

They just want all of it. And inevitably, they will move on to other parts of

greater

Israel. They will move on to southern Lebanon. They've already moved on to a

larger part

of southern Syria. Okay, they already have just because they don't talk about

it just

because we don't talk about it in Western news doesn't change that reality.

Israel is already

overtaken. Large swats of southern Syria. As a matter of fact, they just want

all the

Palestinians to fucking die or make it so that they just cannot live at all.

False. The Jews weren't killing Germans before the Holocaust. What are you

talking about?

Yes, it is a fucking do you not understand the comparison I'm making? Yes. I

don't agree

with the Nazis. I'm saying that they fucking lied. What? No, Jewish people did

not kill

Germans. And then and then that's the reason why Germany had real security

concerns. That's

just a lie that the German government told at the time. That's what the that's

the lie

that the Nazi party told. The fuck is wrong with you? Anyway, this chat is

entertaining

because so many stupid. All right, let's get back to the angry protest. They're

seeing

a GOP town halls that the Senate is going to make big changes to what you

passed last

night. No, I don't think they will. I think they understand the necessity of

letting the

House lead on this. We've got a smaller margin than they do for the first time

in the modern

era. The Senate Republicans have a larger margin than we do in the House and I

've got

a much smaller needle to to thread here. And I think they recognize that I get

165 more

personalities to deal with than they do in a much more diverse caucus. So

Senator Kennedy

is one of my closest friends. I love his one liners. Okay, but I think what he

was referring

to there in that sound by Caitlin is that he doesn't want to cut Medicaid

Medicaid benefits

for anybody. And we don't either. I don't either. We're not going to do that.

That's

not part of this plan. And the Democrats have been lying about it. And so it's

important

for us to clarify that. That's what I think he was referring to. We're not we

're going

to take care of those who are rightful beneficiaries of the programs. We're

going to cut the fraud

waste and abuse out of Medicaid. And that's where we're going to get part of

the savings

to accomplish this mission. But are people who are covered by Medicaid now

going to potentially

lose Medicaid coverage as a result of this? No, look, the White House has made

a commitment

the president said over and over and over, we're not going to touch so security

, Medicare

or Medicaid. We've made the same commitment. Now, that said, what we are going

to do is

go into those programs and carve out the fraud, waste and abuse and find effic

iencies. A couple

of examples, you know, there's about $50 billion estimated that are lost every

year in Medicaid

just in fraud alone. No, that fraud is not coming from individuals is coming

from providers.

They're not tackling providers. They're not actually going after like false

billing. They

are trying to cut the recipients. Okay. It is not happening at the point of

recipients.

If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.

Okay. You

wouldn't make Rick Scott, former governor of Florida, Rick Scott. You wouldn't

make him

the, the current, what is his current office? What is he? He's the Richard Lynn

Scott is

an American attorney, businessman politician, Navy veteran serving as the

senior United States

Senator from Florida seat. He has held since 2019. And also, I believe this

past election

cycle, he was literally the, the fucking head of the, what was it like, the

Senate committee

or something? Like the, the Republican fundraising initiatives. The reason why

I'm saying if

you cared about Medicare or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott is

because and not

make him a prominent part of the Republican party is because he to this day is

still also

known as committing the largest Medicare fraud in US history.

They want to cut snap. They want to cut Medicaid. I want to cut the funding of

Medicaid. They

want to make it harder for people to receive Medicaid. They don't want to

actually go

after the medical providers or the insurance companies or the nursing homes

that are lining

their pockets with major donations. Those are the people who actually engage in

the fraud.

It's not your uncle. That's like lying about their condition and stealing money

from, stealing

money from the government by, you know, going to the doctor or whatever.

No one's for that. We've got to make sure we eliminate it. We have the

algorithms now

to do that. We have advanced technology to find it. We need to ID provide

identification

for people who are Medicaid recipients to make sure they are not illegal aliens

. That's

another big carve out that we will make to save a lot of money. There are a lot

of places

to find efficiencies in these programs and ensure they're going to the people

they're

intended to help. If we don't do that, these programs aren't going to remain

solvent and

so that's a big part of the equation here.

Well, I'm glad you brought that up because you talk about waste fraud and abuse

that you're

going to look at instead of making cuts other where. But last year between

Medicaid and Medicare

combined, there was about $100 billion in improper payments. Now, no one is exc

using

that or fraud or any waste and abuse, but you're looking for much larger than

that. So where

is the other $780 billion going to come from?

Well, look, we're talking about cuts that are in the range of $2 trillion, but

you're

also talking about the whole of the federal government. We're going to involve

11 different

committees of jurisdiction in this process. So all this attention is being paid

to Medicaid

because that's the Democrat's talking point. We're talking is not a Democrat's

talking

point. That's where a lot of the money is. And you want to cut it is just what

is happening

about a massive piece of legislation that looks at all of the fraud, waste and

abuse across

the government and looks at programs that we do need to eliminate that doesn't

isn't

we're talking about health care for people that are relying upon that. Look,

everybody

needs to watch the process play out. We passed the budget resolution last night

. It is merely

a also, I wish that was a Democrat talking point. How sad. Look at how think

about how

much we have devolved in American politics. Like it's not even a Democrat

talking point.

Like they I've some Democrats talk about it. You know, you got Greg Kazar, AOC.

There's

a couple Democrats who like come out and pop off about it. But I wish it was a

fucking

Democrat talking point, you know, the level of resistance is so, so bad by the

Democratic

party that is not even a fucking Democrat talking point framework to set up

Democrats

are too busy trying to, you know, Democrats are too busy trying to set up

Andrew Cuomo

as the next mayor of New York, because God forbid, God forbid the DSA back like

socialist

adjacent anti-Zionist Zoron actually becomes the mayor. That would be

terrifying. Democrats

are also too busy, I don't know, prosecuting children for being pro Palestine.

That's what

they're doing. They're also courting Silicon Valley tech CEOs to say, I promise

when we

get back in power, we will give you the same level of access that Trump has

given to Elon

Musk and these other right wing billionaires. That's what the Democrats are

doing right

now. Democrats are also doing this. You know what they're doing? Aside from

Cuomo seeing

this possible White House candidate by some Democrats, aside from running for

New York

mayor, where's the other thing that the Democrats are doing? Hold on, let me

see if I can find

it real quick. I retweeted it earlier today. If you want to understand where

the Democratic

Party's attitudes are, where they're going, okay? Here, this is who they picked

to represent

the party and respond to Trump's speech. Eliza Slotkin, she was the first

Democrat ever

endorsed by Liz Cheney, voted for the Lake and Riley Act, which is the, if you

suspect

a person who is Brown, who happens to be undocumented of doing a crime, they

can be deported instantly

act, okay? Which is a violation of the Constitution. Anyway, violence due

process. Empowering Trump

to detain people without due process and is a top Democrat voter of Trump's and

is a

top Democratic voter of Trump's cabinet, okay? As a senator, one of 12

Democrats who voted

for the anti migrant, Lake and Riley act that empowers Donald Trump's ice to

detain people

without due process voted for eight of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees, while

his administration

dismantles the entire government. As a House member, she was one of 62

Democrats who joined

148 Republicans to express disgust at South Africans.
