RUSH EXCERPT:
VANCE: "Oh, Will. That is the toughest question I have ever been asked because some of these things are so brazen. Look...I really do think that it’s hard to top The Medicaid Fraud we saw in the Minneapolis area where You had primarily Somali immigrants who came To this country and didn’t even have children but were billing Medicaid for services provided to autistic children. I mean, it’s one thing To engage in fraud and lie about a disorder that your child has When they actually don’t have the disorder but It is something truly extraordinary To collect services from children you do not Actually have so That must be at The top of my list But Will While it is hard sometimes To put A stop To Fraud And prevent money From going out Of Once it’s gone out the door It is very hard to get The money back Finding fraud There are just so much of I mean, you asked about this Chinese marriage scheme There were thousands Of people who Were actually getting paid Money To marry somebody that they had never met before So That person could Get access To American citizenship and all The benefits That come from It There Is All Medicaid Fraud And food stamps Small Business Administration Frauds Gender Fraud The unfortunate reality Will Is that fraud in Washington D.C. Was as common As bad weather And Bad Weather is very Common In Washington So We got a problem here Were fixing That Problem But it’s Going to Take us A long Time To root Out all This Fraud Because There was so Much Allowed To fester During the Biden Administration and really Beyond That"
