>> No one's here. No, no one is not here.

>> Okay. So, you guys are all by yourself?

>> That is concerning. Uh, let's bring in

>> Well, it's quite bad. I mean, envision

stuff that he just found in California is bonkers. >> Did you see what the governor posted what Newsome's press office posted? They posted a photo of Nick Shirley, like a fake Nick Shirley, like a meme, like Nick Shirley peeking into windows. Like, hey, he's doing your job. >> He's uncovering fraud and what you're doing is mocking him. They should just open up the investigations into all these places immediately if you cared, but all they want to do is just obfuscate, cover it up, make it look silly. >> Yeah. >> Make it look like he's something whatever he is. White supremacist. >> Right. Right. Whatever. MAGA. Come up with a name. Heat. Heat. Now to a man who should be awarded the pullet surprise if media awards actually meant anything these days. Here is Nick Shirley who blew apart the depths of fraud in Minnesota. concentrated in the Somali community. Well, Nick Shirley is in LA now, and the scale of the fraud there is even worse. What he saw in LA is incredible. Here he is at what looks like a former motel, which is allegedly running 30 fake hospice businesses. >> We have Angels of Valley Hospice. We have Angels of Haven, Angels of Peace, Light of Angels. Yet the BMWs, one right here, one right there, two brand new Mercedes over there. It just is unbelievable the amount of money that these people are making, and they're not even trying to hide it. >> And while in Minnesota, we had fake daycare centers that had no children enrolled. In LA, he found children in daycare centers, but there were no adults around. >> Talk to the adult. >> Um, he is not here. >> Not here. So, you guys all by yourself? >> Yeah. Knocking the door. >> No one's here. >> No one's here. No, no one is not here. >> Okay. So, you guys are all by yourself? >> Okay. I can see by myself. >> Yeah. Okay. That's concerning. >> That is concerning. Uh, let's bring in Newsweek senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me about this focus on LA now, on California in general. Surely, it can't be as diabolical as what we saw in Minnesota. >> Well, it's quite bad. I mean, envision Rita Minnesota on steroids. That's basically what California is. California is essentially democratic governance on steroids. It's been that way for a very long time. Unfortunately, it's reached something of a low point under Gavin Newsome. I guess I guess we'll see if it can get even lower in a future Democrat guminatorial administration in Sacramento. I far far be for me to to predict that, but I frankly it probably could get even worse than this. It centers around Medicare and Medicaid fraud. That's why do Dr. Oz the the former television star who's now the head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, he's been at at the formal administrative center exposing a lot of these issues out in Los Angeles County. According to the receipts, Los Angeles County, California is singlehandly responsible for somewhere between 15 and 20% if memory serves of of the Medicare related quote unquote payments in America, which doesn't actually make sense. This is it's a large county, but but it's but it's only one county. So, the administration is starting to expose some of this fraud. Nick Shirley and others are on the ground trying to expose some over there. Shirley continues to do a lot of really solid investigative work when it comes to this. He's basically just showing up with a camera, Rita. It's it's really not exactly uh the work that you need a PhD in film making to do. It's it's really kind of just just very entrepreneurial type stuff there. My hat off to him for doing this and we'll see where it goes, I guess. >> Josh, let's hear from Dr. Mimemeta Oz. You mentioned him. He is President Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service. Here is what he had to say about fraud in LA. >> $100 million. You get the national numbers that you just highlighted. You have states red and blue who are suffering because the rules were lax and weak and folks fraudsters took advantage of them. But we're on to them and we're going after not just autism which is of course a a a heinous way to steal money from the American taxpayer. But we're also going in for home health care. That's unnecessary. Hospice care. John, California has onethird of forget Los Angeles. The city of Los Angeles, the county around it is one-third of all hospice centers in the entire country. Is everyone dying in Los Angeles? These impossible numbers. >> That's what you were talking about, Josh. And they do seem like impossible numbers. How can LA alone have onethird of all the hospice centers in the entire country? >> Yeah. So that's I mean that's shocking to me re I actually had not heard that exact statistic about onethird of hop centers. I mean what I had seen is 15 to 20% of autism related centers things like that there I mean onethird of I look LA is a big city it has a declining population actually in fact it's probably going to decline even more it probably will get surpassed actually this nation's second largest city if current trends hold by a place like a like a Phoenix Arizona or Houston Texas potentially in the next 1015 years or so we'll see how that goes but there still there are there are a lot of people in LA but no there are not onethird of older people who need hospice that is facially absurd And the median American looks that and starts scratching his or her head and says, "This cannot possibly be right. What on earth happened here?" And what happened here is that these blue jurisdictions at best turn a blind eye to rampant fraud, to rampant welfare fraud, the very welfare that the Democratic Party has institutionally, structurally put in place in America going back to the Lynden Johnson great society in the 1960s and many programs have been built on top of that since then there. So they started the welfare state and now they are billing the federal taxpayer via the welfare state. It's something that they've been been doing for a very very long time. And I guess one one one of the many benefits of having this current administration in power is that they are no longer actually turning a blind eye to it. Personally Rita what I would like to know is I would like to know the extent to which the Biden administration in particular was complicit in this. Were they aiding and abetting this? Sure. Surely Joe Biden and Kla Harris Kla Harris is a Californian herself. Let's not forget there she has a a very long relationship with Gavin Newsome there. I would be curious to know what did Kla Harris know about this fraud in Los Angeles County and when did she know it? That would be at the top of my of my list of questions.
