Could you help me up by any chance? I can't stand up on my own. Could you help me up by any chance? Yeah sure. Can't see. How did you get here? I got my shoes robbed. What's that? I don't know what you're here for. I'm sorry. Ah. Thank you. You got your shoes robbed? Yeah. I don't know where the bus is. Is there a bus nearby? Oh my god, yeah. Well, you can't go barefooted like that. I'm not sure. I hope so. You wait here. Okay. Okay. Just... I'll wait right here. Yeah, just wait right here. Okay. And I'm gonna get him inside and just sit. And then I'll bring you... Yeah, I'm gonna... I need to get him some pictures of me. I'm gonna get something for him. Are you sure? Yes, absolutely. I don't have any money though. Don't worry. We will figure that out. Well, just wait for me okay please. What's your name? My name is Queen. So just hold on. He got you. Oh, you got shoes? Yeah. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. I can get you to the bus stop and get maybe a bus to wait here. Are you with somebody? Yes. I want to get him a compression sock because his legs get swollen. What's your name, sir? My name is Victor. I'm Zach. I'm Zach Victor. Are you okay? Are you sick? I've been sick. I have a button with a stick for cancer. We're giving three months to live. Like why are we talking to a stranger? You know what? Let's get you settled. Can I give you a hug, Victor? Thank you. Oh my God. Love you. Oh my God. Who are you? How are you staying strong? We have each other. And we trust God. Like he's made it this four years and we're just trusting God that he will leave. Was there anything you can do at this point? Well, I did a lot of research and I found out there's a place in Mexico but we can't afford it. I can take him there and he will get a chance to leave. Victor, what's your dream right now? It's not really well again to do what I used to do. I've fallen off course of my dream completely. I'm emotionally down, physically. Can you wait? Let me take him to the bus station and get in the bus bus, okay? Before you do that, hey, Victor? I'm not blind. Whoa. Whoa. What are you doing? What happened? I was just trying to find somebody kind. You're not blind? Can you see me? I can see you. What is he wearing? He's wiping his face right now. Oh my God, he can see me. And you have a bonnet on. Oh my God, he can see me. And I actually have something for you. I have a thousand dollars cash. Oh my God. I hear a lot about sex. You need to show me. Oh God, you leave. God leaves. God leaves. God leaves. God leaves. God leaves. Oh my God. There's a way that this guy opens up when we touch it. You don't know why he loved us so much. I came here to come back, so I spent my last money that we had. You're going to give me your shoes. Why? Because this gratitude that we see. I have friends and I'm going to try to come together and help you get that treatment in Mexico too. I have 50 million friends. They really just called me and I told her that we would not be able to make it. She called me from the facility because I was making inquiries. And I told her that we can't make it. I've exhausted everything and we don't have the money. We sold our home three years ago and I have been spending that money just to make sure he gets well. Are you going to leave, Victor? Are you going to leave?

You talk about Donald Trump, he made $3 billion last year. He moved up $118 billion. He left money this year than he did when he was out of office. He's the president, you're supposed to have me make $400,000. Okay, I know this is going to blow your mind. He was a billionaire and a businessman before he was president, unlike Obama. So he should continue to sell us out to people for the highest bidder. There is a for sale sign on the White House, the crypto scam. Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. This is part of it when you hear that way from the vice president was talking about yesterday, which was we can work with states. Let's try to work with Democrats and governors and whatever to try to go after this because everybody agrees there is fraud within the system that would save everybody money if you get it under control. So I think we need to talk about that. I'm cool with that. I said that. I said Tim Walz was in trouble for this. You should weed out the fraud, but we just, I mean, we just saw that Donald Trump in Q1 made at least a $220 million of purchases in stocks, Paramount, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Palantir. So did I. He is in control. He is in control. But you're talking- He should not be able to do that. You want to talk about Nancy Pelosi's talente gelato drawer and you don't care what's going on here. I think it's important to point out also that they cannot get this stuff passed on Capitol Hill. People show up to Capitol Hill. Shannon, it's gone. He just said, oh, that's a good point. No, that's not what I said. I said you like your glasses. You did not. They are great glasses. These are beautiful glasses. They are my dads. But also can we talk about the fact that Capitol Hill can not get it together on insider stock trading and all that kind of stuff, so many of them show up there and they're thousand heirs and they leave as millionaires in a way on a salary that doesn't make a lot of sense. $3 billion in a year. You don't even have to ask me a question. Okay. First things first, a Democrat gets into power and then gets rich. Trump was rich before he got there and he's actually making less money. So your obsession over his profiting is a delusion. It's what you hear. First you say, here's how they're profiting. Then you switch to his foreign policy priority where he's saying Iran is more important right now than the gas prices. That was your justification. Then you move back. It was so convoluted. Look, libs have obsessions over things like ballrooms when taxpayers aren't paying for it. Meanwhile, as Jesse points out, and I got to make this clear because this is going to come back, there is a pattern of abuse and it is relentless. You mentioned Minnesota, the California hospice scam. You have the ghost, what do you call them? The ghost company fraud in Ohio. But the one that is going to blow your mind and is the Jenga piece in all of this, the GAO reports what, $3 trillion in improper payments, $3 trillion since 2003 because of weak controls over entitlement programs, Medicaid and Medicare. Now you know why they circle their wagons. Whenever you approach and you say, you know what, can we look at this? They call you a fascist. You're trying to starve people. You're trying to take money out of their health care. No, they're protecting their profit. It's not about people. Republicans have to go hard on these issues because these are the issues they want on and it's not finished by a long shot. You look how the Democrats lied about the border, trans, obviously, fraud, crime and President Biden. The horrible results of far left policies can be ads in and of themselves. Dead women, exploited kids, perverse dogma, billions in taxpayer fraud, government waste, insane taxes, driving businesses out of blue states. The point that I'm trying to make is that we just overturned the rock and watch how they're reacting. We overturned the rock. Let us finish the job. We got to almost swore we got to like, we got to clean that rock or it's all the rot is going to return and you're all going to be screwed. And honestly, this could be bipartisan. It could be enough of the bipartisan people around Democrats enough. I have Jessica and we love.

I would like to hear what your justification was for supporting the dossier that was known to be false Being used as source material in the second ICA. I don't know who put you up to this. Nobody put me up to this or I'm here on my own. I don't know what role you played or who you are, but there's a bunch of bullsh*t you just passed on. I, absolutely. The emails are clear, sir. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. The second question. I think we're going to go over here. We are getting reports from Reuters that there were FBI agents who were questioning people at Langley about Brennan's assertions to me in Congress that the CIA had nothing to do with the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Committee assessment. What do you think are the key components of John Brennan's tenure that these agents ought to be looking into? And that would contribute to broader reforms within the CIA? Oh, I think the most important thing is this notion of weaponization. Weaponization is real. Weaponization has been used against many Americans simply because John Brennan or Barack Obama and John Brennan didn't like a person's personal politics. You and I have had this conversation, I think we both agree, that the fact that John Brennan refuses to take responsibility for his actions legally would allow for the basis of a conspiracy charge in that if the conspiracy is ongoing, if the conspiracy to cover up his actions as the Director of Central Intelligence is ongoing, that ought to reset the statute of limitations literally every single day. And so I think that there's a real conspiracy case here. I'm very happy that a grand jury is looking into it in the southern district of Florida. And I hope something positive comes out of it, positive in the respect that the American people can see that it doesn't matter how senior you are in government, it doesn't matter how important you think you are in Washington, you have to face justice just like everybody else does. There was an email that went around from General Clapper, from General Clapper, to yourself and Hayden. I'm sorry, not Hayden. That's right. You're yourself and Comey, etc. That basically said we all got to get on board with this, otherwise it isn't going to work basically. And I think that that email puts everybody in the crosshairs. I would like to hear what your justification was for supporting the dossier that was known to be false, being used as source material in the second ICA. I don't know who put you up to this. Nobody put me up to this or I'm here on my own. I don't know what role you played or who you are. But there's a bunch of bullsh*t you just passed on. Absolutely. The emails are clear, sir. Bullsh*t. The emails are clear. The emails are clear. Next. The second question. Next. I think we're going to go. Next. Next. You can. Next. Next. Look, we can talk about it. Go away. Talk about it in the reception. No, we didn't say that. No, you faxed straight. You said it was likely Russian disinformation. No, we did not. No, you did. No. Read the letter. I'm sorry. Okay. Can I just slide? I know I'm going to get uninvited. Yeah. It'll be after hours. No. No. You're done. Come on. All right. We're going to go over here. Let's go over here for a question. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you very much. Why did you have all these on the 100 right hand side? Why did you say that? Because I can't think. And you misrepresented that. We never said it was disinformation. We said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There's a big difference between influence. No, you don't know that. You don't know. No, we knew. All the hallmarks. All the hallmarks. We didn't say it was Russian disinformation. We said it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. Knowing full well that the media would then fire hose that around and then change that to basically say, yeah, it's Russian disinformation. And when they did that at any point, did you stand up and say, well, actually I didn't say it was Russian disinformation. I said it was all the hallmarks. Nope. You were quiet. You were complicit in the lie being spread.

We'll do one more question, then why hit the road. Thank you Mr. Vice President for taking questions. I'm Phil Hirschkorn from News Center Maine. So it turns out that Maine does have a Medicare Fraud Control Unit. You mentioned that a few minutes ago. I'm wondering, you said Maine could be the third worst state after states like California and Minnesota, which have proven tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and many federal convictions. So far what we've heard about from the federal government in Maine is questionable $45 million in the autism services which you mentioned. We've also heard about $1.7 million in questionable billing by a Somali immigrant run NGO. My question is... It's alright. Now, I appreciate you all standing up for me, but trust me, I've had a lot worse. Hey, we still have innocent and proven guilty in this country. My question is, what else do you got? What else has your task force flagged that we should be concerned about? Because those amounts are a lot, $46 million, $1.7 million, but they don't really compare to California and Minnesota. What else should we expect from your task force? Thank you. Well, let me say a few things. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got biased reporters in all states. It's okay, trust me. I can handle it, but here's what I'd say a few things. Number one, you talk about the scale of the fraud being less in Maine than it is in California. Well, California has a population that's much higher than Maine, so that's not necessarily a fair question. A fair comparison. Number two, we've frankly been at this less long than we have in Maine than in other states, okay? This is something where what we, I would say, you notice a pattern. And you're right, innocent until proven guilty, but what I've noticed is a pattern. That when you see certain types of fraud in certain types of programs, that's the tip of the iceberg. And when I see that autism services fraud in the Medicaid program in the Somali community, but not just that, I see local and state politicians who don't care about policing that fraud, that's the tip of the iceberg. And we're going to find out just how deep that iceberg is, and I suspect, I can't promise, but I suspect we are going to find hundreds of millions of more dollars every single month that we look in the state of Maine, because this is not a state that takes it seriously. And this is the third point and the most important one. I do not actually like having a contentious relationship between the state government and the federal government. We want people to help us find the fraudsters. It goes a lot quicker, it's a lot easier, it requires fewer resources from the federal government, but you find more fraud when you're working with people at the local level. What I find so preposterous about Maine, it's not just that we found tens of millions of dollars of fraud in a relatively small state, it's that we've had no cooperation from the state government. So when I say that the state government, when I say this is the third, maybe the fourth worst state when it comes to fraud, what I mean very simply is that you've got a governor and you've got a seven of bureaucrats that don't care about fraud, and all I'm saying is Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance, we care about fraud, we care about the people of this state, and we care about your tax dollars going to where it's actually supposed to go.
