  Speaker 1: The popcorn moment, Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's the story you need to here to believe. Then
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: grab your popcorn because there is more. I uh had
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it in the in the show sheet yesterday. If you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: go over to Tony kats dot com, you'll find that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that the Trump administration is going to require all fifty states,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: not fifty seven, fifty states to explain their plans to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: revalidate some of their Medicaid providers. This is about anti
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: fraud efforts because the fraud is nuts. So it was
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Politico at their healthcare summit, and doctor Oz is there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: He's the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and I would argue actually doing a very very good
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: job in that you hear nothing of problems and you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: seeing movement, openness, and conversations about how we do this better,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: how we can do that better. It's an example of
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: what we'd like them to do to prove that they're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: serious about this. If you don't take it seriously, it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: indicates to us then we might have to take the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: audits that we're doing to the different states more aggressively.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, we should be checking.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: We should be asking what are we spending our money
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: on and doesn't make any sense?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Are we getting any value out of it?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, the places where we are
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: spending our money are these.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Places legit places.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: This brings us to maybe the craziest thing I've ever
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: heard said. This was a woman by the name of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Shila Clark. Now, I must say to you, I'm not
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: an expert on Sheila Clark. She is the president of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the California Hospice Association. It's not surprising that I wouldn't
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: be too familiar with Sheila Clark. And she is speaking
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in front of I don't know if this is a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: House panel or a Senate.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Panel, and she's discussing some of.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The madness going on in the world of hospices. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: swear to you this is not the Babylon Bee. It
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: could not make this up.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Are you ready? Here you go.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You'd be amazed at how many hospices. The door you
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: can walk up to in California and there is nobody there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: There is five months worth of mail that you can
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: see stacked up from CMS and nobody's there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: This is exactly what we learned from the CBS reporting.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: This is exactly what we learned from the Nick Shirley
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: reporting from his videos.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And now they.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Want to go about creating legislation saying that you can't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: actually be a reporter in California and going after Nick.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Surely these degenerates in California in their in.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Their assembly there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So you walk up to these doors, there's nobody there,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: nobody's getting the mail, nobody cares.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And then there's this and that pasta survey.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: How did that happen? How do you put a hospice
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: in a burrito stand in California? How do you put
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a hospice in a tire store in California? That all
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: had to be vetted through licensure and through certification and accreditation.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Now no matter how absolutely blotto, drunk or high I was,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I could never come up with hospice in a burrito stand.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, I'm pretty upset with myself,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: because that would have been a great bit. Oh burrito stands, hospice, Oh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: just nothing but share comedy. The brazenness by which these
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: people steal from you. That's the story here. And when
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you hear that, remember that anybody who wants to stand
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: in the way, who opposes these audits, who opposes ending
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this fraud, that's your enemy, because that's the enemy of decency.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Can't have a country run by people like that. Country
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: can't work if it's run by people who think that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the hospice should be working out of a burrito stand.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: However, I do favor more burrito stands.
