• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Conditions apply, Doctor Roz, who's doing an incredible job working
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: alongside Bobby Kennedy President Trump. The fraud issue that continues
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to plague America. I just saw. I have a friend
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: who works for JD. Vans and she helps set up
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: this big rally in Bangor, Maine two nights ago, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: he talked to the fine folks of Maine about fraud.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And Anthony de Esposito was on the show all the time.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Labor Department, He's uncovered fraud and Lee's held in EPA,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: he's under He's uncovered a lot of frauds. So it's
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: become a very very big issue here in the country.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So doctor Roz, first of all, you look very handsome
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: as always good to see you. But let's start right there,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: because if I'm correct, I just mentioned JD and Bangor Maine.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You're about to do a press conference with JD. Evans
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: coming up on Wednesday, right. Well, we just had a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: big announcement with the Vice President. He leads the White
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: House Anti Fraud Task Force.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: So we're doing constant events trying to make it clear
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to the American people, but more importantly to the fraudsters.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: They were after them. So we don't want them walking away.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: We want them running away from us. And that's because
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we have all arms of government working together, which historically
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: has not happened with fraud. And the prior administration quite transparently,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a lot of interest in fraud. They just
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: didn't think that was a big deal. They weren't focused
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: on it. But when you don't focus on something bad
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: like fraud, the gangsters, and there are gangsters literally involved
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: in this organized criminal syndicates, they take advantage of the system.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So we announced this week that we're going to defer
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: payment of one point three billion dollars to California, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that we are continuing to get worry about hospice and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: home health care. So we're going to put a nationwide
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: moratorium on all new programs. If you're already on these programs,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you're fine, but no new programs until we figure out what,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you know, how it got so bad and what the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: problems are. And this is give one concrete example. Here
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: in New York State where we're sitting right now, the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: number one job in the whole state said, number one
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: job personal care service. That means that we're paying kids
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to carry the groceries upstairs for their parents. We're paying
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the neighbor's kid to drive you to the doctor's office. Now,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: there's sometimes when that's a good investment because it keeps
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you out of a nursing home. But when you have
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: very weak guard rails, bad people take advantage of the system.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And that's why we have to dig in California and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: defer that money to one point three billion dollars. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: that's why we have to audit a lot of states.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And it's not just a blue state problem. Red states
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: have issues as well. We've written letters to We actually
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: were a letter to Maine, which the Vice president was
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: because you know, they had they have a lot of
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: fraud up there. The Ohio, Ohio's fraud Florida. There's twice
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: as many get this, twice as many durable meta equipment
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: suppliers in South Florida. The McDonald's.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be because there were so many
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: retirees and all people being taken care of down in Florida.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's going to have to happen. I understand. I think
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I saw something this week, doctor Rozon, Los Angeles. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they had these big, big buildings that they claimed were
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: being used for a hospice, and there was nobody in them. Nobody.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So Hospice Beautiful program created forty years ago to take
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: care of folks who have cancer that's terminal, they're going
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to pass. They want dignity, So you give up your
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: medicare you get hospice?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Great?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: One third of all hospices in the entire nation in
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, not California, just at LA. Now, if sitting
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: here in New York, I think, well, how is it
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: possible they have a third of all the hospices in
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the whole country. That's not true in New York. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: something's wrong. And in fact, the governor of California, Newson
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: was warned by their auditors years ago that they had
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a growing fraud problem with hospice, did nothing about it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: For Russian or nice. Criminal elements are involved in this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Many of these cluster and buildings that are empty, nothing happens,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: no patients are seen, or if they are seen, they're
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: not taking care of Doctors sell their souls, their licenses,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the lie that people are terminal to pretend that they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: eligible for these benefits, and they still billions of dollars
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: from the Fed attach paying. Remember what we're really saying
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: is if California tolerates fraud that comes from the federal government,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that means people in New Mexico, in Mississippi and New
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: York are paying extra tax dollars to make up with
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the fact that California doesn't care.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Can you explain to my audience, because a lot of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: my audience are just regular guys. They like to listen
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to sports talk radio. They came to because that's where
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I was, and they came to listen to me now
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: because I'm a regular guy. Why it's true. Why are
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: these politicians doing that? You know? Why does Gavin Newsom
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: allow that in Los Angeles and California? Why do we
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: just see Tim Walls in Minnesota. Why are these Are
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: they on the take? Are they nervous? I have to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: deal with some pretty bad guys. Why are politicians allowing
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this in all of our states across our country. Well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there are a couple of factors.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: There's no question that in Minnesota there there could have
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: been political considerations. You're going to lose a big vote
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: from the city. A lot of Somalians, very politically active,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: would have been upset with him if he'd taken out
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: their main source of income. In some of the communities
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: fraud leering centers in California, I don't know what happened,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: but at the end of last year, as an example,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: there was an opportunity for them to shut down hospice
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: fraud and the governor at the last second had gone
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: through the whole process. The Health Department wrote the role
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: governor pulled it down. Don't know why, but let me
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: give you a hypothesis. I don't think fraud is a
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: flaw for some governors. I think it's a feature. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: let's just pick on New York. The number one job
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: in the whole state is personal care services, right, which
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: means instead of letting these people go unemployed and having
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to pay unemployment insurance coverage for them. You can just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: get them on the federal doal have the federal government
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: pay for their salary for carrying groceries, and that you
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can tax that in. But also now we're learning that
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the unions are actually getting engaged and they're unionizing these
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: personal care services, folks, which means you have now a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: very politically active organization funneling money through union.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Dues to one party.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: So it's political patronage and I think at its very
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: core that's why some governors aren't serious about this. Other
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: governors just haven't focused on it. They're running sloppy administrations,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: some are not as good as others and dealing with
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: these issues.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But listen, when we write.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Letters, and I did the fifty states last week saying
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: within ten days, tell me, are you willing to check
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to make sure all the providers are valid, that they're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: legitimately allowed to provide these services. Every state wrote back
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and said they would do it, because the reality is,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and everything's people realize this is not a democratic or
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Republican issue. Both parties want to fix this problem because
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: it's embarrassing if you're a Democrat that you want to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: have all this large ess, give all this money and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the social programs, and it's getting stolen. Republicans are angry
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: about this process because they expected it to happen. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: now it turns out that they're fears were validated.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We got to deal with it. And major issue here
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in New York, which I know you're heading, is Medicare Medicaid.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: A lot of fraud coming from those programs.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: What we think is one hundred billion dollars a program
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: of fraud in health insurance industry, in Medicare and Medicaid.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I'll get blame put in context where you said, if
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you're working your tail off right now and you're expecting
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that Medicare will be there for you when you retire
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: because you've spent your whole life paying into it. That
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: two point nine percent on your paced up, that's what
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: it's for Medicare. So we will double the life expectancy
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: of Medicare's trust fund. If we take the fraud out
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of the system, double it. I'll be there for you.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: We'll be able to retire and have the social safety
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and that intact for you.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I'm also reading about something you're doing which is really
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: important and New Yorkers know this story very well, doctor Oz,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you're announcing a new healthcare coalition on prior authorization. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we got a guy in a jail here in New
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: York who's a hero. He's a hero, he's beloved. His
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: name is Luigi Mangione. And what did he do. He
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: committed murder in the most cowardly fashion. He shot a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: man in the back, a man who was a father
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: of two, a man who worked in the healthcare industry,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: who by all accounts was a very, very nice man.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But Luigi was having issues paying his medical bills. He
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: hated healthcare, and he decided that he was going to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: murder somebody to make sure that justice was done. And again,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you. He's a hero to a lot
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of New Yorkers. Tell me about prior organization what that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: means moving forward, because the Brian Thompson story relates just
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Just to finish the story of the psychotic man, Luigi
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: bengeoti that Jack the hoodie he was wearing sold out,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Is that right? So people liked the idea that you
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: could murder someone because they'ren't like the system. And the
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: man he murdered. He didn't even have insurance with them.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: It's a different company. So that's see that tale behind
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: because it's sort of unfortunate tale, but it does highlight
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the anger that many Americans feel about the fact they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: having this discussion with their doctor in the office sacrist spot.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Doctor says, you need this test figure out if you
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: have cancer, and oh, the insurance company reaches their hand,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: ins his hold on Tiger. Even though you paid your premiums,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: We're not sure you're eligible for this test. We'll get
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: back to you in a couple of weeks while you're
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: sitting around trying to understand I five cancer, not that
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: whole time you're in pain. You don't like it, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: you actually paid your bills. So we have asked every
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: insurance company. This is all about the president. Presidents said,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you know what, Yeah, you can make laws, Yes you
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: can make rules, but use the power to convene. Just
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: use the force of personality. Go in there, negotiate. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: we went to all the insurance companies and said, the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: President doesn't like this prior ofs stuff. Can you fix
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: it yourselves without us having to get involved. If you do,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: we'll give you safe harbor, we'll protect you so you
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: can actually get the job done. All the insurance companies
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: came to the table. We've covered down the vast majority
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: of Americans with insurance companies wanting to dramatically change prior authorization,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: which by the way, does reduce costs, but it's done
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: wrongly at times. And they got their part done this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: A coalition that we announced is getting all the hospitals
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to join in as well, because listen, the insurance companies
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: can't do it by themselves. They actually have to have
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the doctors the hospitals working with them. Because if I
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: ask you, hey, listen, justify this procedure and you fax
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: me back to the response, you're wasting time. We got
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to do it all digitally. Everyone's got to get up
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: on their game seamlessly. That's why the commitment we're having
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: to the American people by next year is you'll have
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: eighty percent of these prior offs done instantaneously.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: When you go to a.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Bank, you put your card in there, right, you don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: wait around. The money comes out when you go to
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a coffee.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: But I got to pay a couple of dollars take
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: up my own money. That's all the story.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's a whole different story.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: But also, you know, if you go to a coffee shop, right,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the barista doesn't, you know, get back to you in
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: six weeks if you have the money to buy your coffee,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: they'd make the deal right then, or you wouldn't use
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the transaction.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: True, that's a very very good point. I gotta tell
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you as I'm watching you speak, and you know, I
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: think you're great, and I love President Trump to all her,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: both of you guys. You're telling me now it took
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Trump and Oz and all your people to figure out
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that there's money being stolen maybe all over the country
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and that and like programs like this prior authorization. You're
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: telling me that all these Democrat presidents Biden, Obama, they
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: had no idea. They couldn't figure out that this is
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a major issue. You guys have figured that out.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Where your focus goes, your energy flows. The president wants
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to cut deals. I'll give you an even better example,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Most favored nation drug pricing. One in three Americans goes
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to the drugs or to pick up a medication the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: doctor prescribed for them and leaves empty handed because they
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: can't afford the medication. So the President said, I know
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: why this is happening, because our drug prices are three
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: times higher than any other country the planet than the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: average of the other countries. So we're not going to
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: tolerate that, no mus And so he got us to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: go to the drug companies, all the pharmaceutical companies, and say, listen,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: from now on, we're not going to pay you three
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: times more. Global freeloading is done. You're gonna have to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: charge the same in America as everywhere else, which means
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you've got either charge more there or less here, or both. Right,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And they actually started doing both, and we have We
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: will save the American people six hundred billion dollars to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: be and we did not hurt the farmer companies. The
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: farmer companies are still they have enough money to innovate,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: but the grotesque in balance in payments is now gone.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: We're not going to pay for everybody else to get
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: medications fair.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Last couple of minutes, I saw you on TV Tuesday.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I spoke to the President Tuesday. He looked great. There
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: was about ten women standing behind Trump and there you were,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: doctor Oz. But it's actually a very important day he's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: talking about. Obviously, healthcare for women. You know, I got
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to tell you this. President Trump had the most sensible,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the most sensible abortion policy when he ran last time
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: against the Democrats, whether it's Biden or Harris, he had
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the most sensible one. Here he is with all these
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: women right healthcare, ivy up, all the fertility needs. This
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: guy's been tremendous for women. And you you were there
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Tell me about how that went and what
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the future looks like.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: President recognizes we have to make it easier for people
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: who want to have kids to have kids. One in
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: three couples in America under baby Is that right? That
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: means that they have no children, or they have one
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and they want to have two or more.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Well, is it because on the money to have it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: or they can't physically do it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It's a combination, but they actually are related, those two issues.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: And here's why. If you can't have a baby and
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: you want to have one, it's really expensive. The medications
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: are a big part of that. So it's part of
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: these most favoredation drug pricing. We actually got the major
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: drug that you use for fertility to one tenth of
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: what it used to be because guess what in Europe,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: it's one tenth of what it costs here, so ten
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: percent of the cost. So instead of paying four thousand
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: dollars for the medication, you pay four hundred dollars for
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: the medication. You can use the medication to get your
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: follicles ready, you have the baby within mutual fertilization. So
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the present recognizes that there's many reasons that may get
• 13:47
