And that more than anything, Bill, is the saddest commentary on the Democratic Party, that not only will they not stand for the idea that Americans should come first, they won't even have the courage of their convictions.
They lean on the person to their left and their right rather than actually have some conviction.
That is unfortunately what's true about
Democrats in Washington today.
Well, I don't know what the top-line number, Bill, is, and I think that's unfortunate that nobody has ever tried to take a systematic look at how much fraud there is in the federal government.
How many illegal aliens are on Medicaid?
We know that it's billions and billions of dollars that should go to American citizens.
It's going to illegal aliens.
How many fraudulent daycare centers have been set up where that money should go to American citizens to help their kids get into childcare?
Instead, it's being stolen from them by illegal aliens in our country.
How much has...
have government officials actually been complicit in this fraud because some of them have gotten wealthy or at the least they've gotten campaign donations from the people who've gotten rich from that fraud.
The story of the American economy in so many ways during the Biden administration bill is that the American citizen was ripped off for people who shouldn't be here and by politicians who should have known better.
And the Trump administration, the president has asked me to take a full,
WHOLE GOVERNMENT APPROACH TO TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, BILL?
THAT MEANS, FIRST OF ALL, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS GOING TO BE INVESTIGATING AND WHERE POSSIBLE THROWING FRAUDSTERS IN PRISON.
BUT IT'S ALSO GOING TO MEAN THAT SCOTT BESSENT AND SOME OF OUR FRIENDS AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT INCOME TAX RECORDS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS THAT THE
how it is that people have used resources and programs that should go to American citizens instead have been going to fraudulent uses.
