Badlands Media Special Coverage: 10/20/26 - Trump & Vance Launch Fraud Whistleblower Program

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance announce the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program from the Oval Office, joined by citizen journalist Nick Shirley and members of the White House fraud task force. Trump credits Nick's reporting on the Minnesota daycare fraud and the infamous "Learing Center," then lays out the plan: anyone who reports fraud at fraud.gov gets a 1% commission on whatever is recovered, with no cap, and Trump himself will act as arbitrator when tips overlap. Vance, Andrew Ferguson, Dr. Oz, Colin McDonald and Stephen Miller walk through the task force's work, the Minnesota property seizure, $1.2 billion in deferred California Medicaid payments, and the Stop Nick Shirley Act. In the press Q&A, Trump takes on France and Europe's immigration problem, Marine Le Pen, the Ukraine peace talks, the push to free Stephen Hubbard, Trump accounts, Ilhan Omar, Iran, gas prices and the midterms. The full announcement and Q&A, start to finish.
