We don't want to hear about fraud.

That's what I was told by people who are here because they were told, listen, just go do something else.

Just don't focus on the fraud issue because you're going to create a narrative, a micro narrative that doesn't agree with our administration policy.

You also have to have states that want to work with us.

We need an all-government approach.

So what the president did by appointing J.D.

Vance to be the head of this White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, and we've been doing announcements, as you've been witnessing, frequently highlighting these realities, is if I've got a problem at CMS, and I'm the insurance company, and I see that there's some aberrancy in payments, we've doubled or tripled the payments in an area that doesn't make any sense,

I can go to DOJ, FBI, the Office of Inspector General, and they're going to actually work for me, with me rather, and take charge of this issue to actually investigate crime.

Or I can go to Scott Best in the Treasury, and he's going to actually use forensic accountants to find out where's the money getting laundered to.

Like, who are the big players involved?

Because it turns out we have foreign—

groups that are involved in organized criminal activities and foreign governments, we believe, that may also be involved in these endeavors.

These are not mom and pop setups.

We need an all of government effort.

And finally, governors have to feel the pressure.

Governor Walz stepped down in Minnesota

because of pressure over the massive amount of fraud that he was unwilling to take charge of when he was governor.

We had the governor of Maine has now stepped down, others may as well.

If your governor's not willing to do their job, you the people should be upset because you're compromising your people and your state programs by not taking charge of the fraud.

Medicaid has to be run by the states.
