Tens of millions of dollars went missing from Chicago Public Schools. The test scores went down and the money went missing. As for the Chicago Teachers Union? They've apparently refused an audit four times. @Austin__Berg exposes them. https://t.co/ca3JnhGeIv

Video Transcript AI Summary
Chicago Public Schools received nearly $3 billion in federal funding since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are concerns about missing funds and equipment. Around $23 million is unaccounted for, along with 77,000 laptops, iPads, and printers. The city spent $2.5 million on tracking software, but it has not been successful in locating the missing items. Additionally, an assistant principal was arrested for stealing $250,000, and a school clerk was arrested for embezzling $150. The president of the Chicago Teachers Union, Stacey Davis Gates, has refused to conduct an audit and sends her child to a private school. Critics argue that the union prioritizes its own political power over the interests of teachers and students.

Speaker 0: Well, since COVID, Chicago Public Schools raked almost $3,000,000,000 in in federal funding. 3 years ago, the teachers union refused to go back to work even though they got a $100,000,000 to reopen the schools. And at the time, I predicted that the money would be pocketed. Watch. Not surprisingly, the numbers don't add up. There's 1,000,000 of dollars missing. I honestly think they're stealing, and I don't know how many times I have to say this. I should have said it more because, You guessed it, $23,000,000 just went missing. 77,000 laptops, iPads and printers have disappeared. They found a couple, but where'd the rest go? Well, the city spent 2 and a half $1,000,000 on tracking software, but it can't track them down. Also, 1 assistant principal was arrested for stealing a quarter $1,000,000, and a school clerk was arrested for embezzling $150. The test scores went down and the money went poof. What's the president of the Chicago's Teachers Union gonna say? Bulletin reported that Stacey Davis Gates refuses to conduct an audit, and she won't even send her kid to public school. Her son's at private. The Illinois Policy Institute's Austin Berg joins us now. I have a feeling we're gonna find a lot more missing money in laptops, aren't we? Speaker 1: Well, you wouldn't be surprised after we saw what the reaction, from the Chicago school board was today, which was a deafening silence. And your viewers might be wondering why that is. Well, who appoints the school board in Chicago? That is the mayor, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson. Who does Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson report to? Well, that would be the president of the Chicago Teachers Union, who you mentioned his former employer and indeed his largest Financial backer for his campaign. And the interesting thing about the Chicago Teachers Union is that they do not really care about advancing the interests of parents, Of students, of taxpayers, they care or really even teachers, they care about advancing their own political power. So So it is not surprising when those people are put in a governance position that things like this happen. Speaker 0: So $23,000,000 went missing, and they don't wanna do any more audits. They haven't done any for 4 years. Speaker 1: The Chicago Teachers Union, by its own bylaws, says that it must produce an audit for its members every year. And this is Why I say that this union does not represent the interest of teachers because teachers have submitted more than a dozen formal requests to see the books of the Chicago Teachers Union, And they have been failed again and again. They have not produced an audit in 4 years. The Chicago Teachers Union Is an organization that takes $35,000,000 a year from teachers, just 17¢ of every dollar according to the Illinois Policy Institute Research, Actually goes to representing teachers. Speaker 0: Oh, so the rest of it either gets embezzled or gets plowed back into the pockets of politicians. That's the game. Right? Speaker 1: Administration leadership priorities, and yes, politics, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 of dollars in politics. And we exposed all this in in our documentary Local One, which you can actually find at chicago teachers union dot com Because they did not actually purchase their own name as a URL with that $35,000,000. Speaker 0: All right. Savvy move. Go check out the doc. Thanks so much.

I loved living in California, but getting things done here is incredibly difficult. Large projects often take at least two years to get approvals, and lawsuits are common. The state seems to need a crisis for any real deregulation or reduction in litigation. The Democratic Party is heavily influenced by unions and lawyers, who write legislation that favors lawsuits and large awards. This creates a cycle that stifles progress. For change to happen, there needs to be at least a small chance of a Republican being elected in California; otherwise, it feels like a one-party state.

@elon_docs - ELON DOCS

Elon Musk: California is de facto a one-party state where you can't get things done. "I loved living in California, but the problem is you cannot get things done. This is simply a description of fact. Ask anyone who's done a large project in California, how long would it take you to get the approval to proceed and pass CEQA in California for a large project? Two years, and you're doing well if you do it in two years. And you're going to get a ton of people who are going to sue you, just for the hell of it, basically. California's going to need a crisis to have deregulation and delitigation. The two entities that most control the Democratic Party are the unions and, secondarily, the plaintiff bar, basically, the lawyers that sue, especially class action. That's who controls the Democratic Party. Anyone who's familiar with the inside baseball of this will agree with me. This is, in fact, the case, especially in California. So, the issue is that the lawyers write the legislation to make it easy to win lawsuits in California because they funded the election of the officials. The people who got elected got funded by Democrats and lawyers. So, then they write the legislation to make it easy to win lawsuits and get gigantic awards because they got the people elected. And you have this nightmarish circle. There has to be an above 0% chance of a Republican getting elected in California. It has to be above 0%. Otherwise, you have a one-party state."

I may have uncovered a significant scandal in California regarding the alleged embezzlement of funds meant for homelessness. Despite Governor Newsom's claims of "unprecedented investments," an audit revealed a lack of transparency in spending. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's housing deals appear to be overpriced luxury projects rather than genuine public housing. The Chelsea Investment Corporation, linked to these deals and incorporated in the Cayman Islands, raises further questions about financial practices and potential conflicts of interest. This situation suggests a deeper issue with missing funds and inadequate media coverage.

@5149jamesli - James Li

🚨 I may have uncovered a MASSIVE scandal in CA. Gavin Newsom claims $24B for homelessness went "missing". Well, I found evidence of CA officials possibly, allegedly, embezzling hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars through a sketchy Cayman Islands group! 🧐 🧵1/ https://t.co/glUUMnLbZR

@5149jamesli - James Li

2/ In response to an April 2024 audit which exposed that California did not know how money going to solving homelessness was being spent, Gov. Newsom responded by stating the results “did not surprise” him, but added that California has taken part in “unprecedented investments”. https://t.co/SXPGOBVBHX

@5149jamesli - James Li

3/ What kinds of "unprecedented investments" you might ask? Well, this is where things start to get sketchy. Enter Todd Gloria, the Mayor of San Diego, who has been on a tear — making housing deal after housing deal — which he claims will "address homelessness." https://t.co/YVmJj4EOJn

@5149jamesli - James Li

4/ But when you look at the deals being done, the price tags are astronomical: - $145 million project, 407 units - $150 million project, 270 units I don't know about you, but these look more like luxury condo investments disguised as "public housing projects". https://t.co/XeFKPINXRc

@5149jamesli - James Li

5/ But here is where things gets even sketchier. There is one investment group that pops up over and over again in all these city housing deals — the Chelsea Investment Corporation. https://t.co/yOZP4hY1U3

@5149jamesli - James Li

6/ Here's what we know about The Chelsea Investment Group: - a developer that specializes in "affordable housing" - incorporated in the Cayman Islands - HQ is in Carlsbad, CA - Founder, Jim Schmid - CEO, Charles Schmid https://t.co/z2HQ3RuJht

@5149jamesli - James Li

7/ You ready for a real doozy? Property records of their HQ address shows: - 2016: Sold for $3.5M, $3.15M financed. - 2023: Another transaction for an "undisclosed price," but $68M financed. The kicker, the lender is the SD Housing Authority. Not suspicious at all... 🤨 https://t.co/KFhh7rrYoB

@5149jamesli - James Li

8/ The building looks to now be owned by 13th & Broadway CIC, LP — a shell company of Chelsea. But here is where there begins to be more questions than answers. - How did the property jump 20x in value in 7 years? - Why is the SD Housing Authority functioning as their bank? https://t.co/h4adFsViLu

@5149jamesli - James Li

9/ One thing we do know: When Todd Gloria the chair of the San Diego's Budget and Finance Committee, records show the the Founder and then CEO of Chelsea Investment Corp. was a major donor to Gloria's campaign. Quid Pro Quo? 🤔 https://t.co/IuPqoATxPs

@5149jamesli - James Li

10/ A dig into UCC filings and liens — Chelsea Investment Corp. is leaving a nasty paper trail all over the country, so their entanglement with "public housing" is not limited to San Diego or California. I would advise you start looking in your local area to see what turns up. https://t.co/qtk9qjJZ4z

@5149jamesli - James Li

11/ Final thoughts: 1) This is just the tip of the iceberg in the search for billions of "missing" dollars. 2) Legacy media have failed — it’s up to independent journalists to uncover the truth. Big thanks to @AssyrianAngel28 and @Melissa_in_CA for their help!

Gavin Newsom and state legislative leaders have agreed to set aside $50 million to defend California — as well as immigrants facing deportation — in court against the incoming Trump White House, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations." "The deal, struck through a special legislative session Newsom called to shore up the state’s legal defenses, includes $25 million he sought for state Department of Justice litigation against the federal government. It also contains $25 million state Senate leaders wanted for grants to nonprofit legal groups and centers that support immigrants who are at risk of deportation, detention and wage theft." ---- This is what California is choosing to spend money on right now.

I just spent a semester teaching at a public school and was shocked by the state of our education system. Only 9% of the Department of Education's $268 billion budget actually supports K-12 education. While I loved the kids, I noticed significant issues with the administrators and bureaucracy. To access federal funding, schools must meet various criteria, which feels like a game for the administrators to secure funds. Unfortunately, none of this money reaches the teachers or students, highlighting a troubling trend of prioritizing financial gain over educational needs.

The funding doesn't go to the teachers that are actually in the classroom. It doesn't really directly impact the kids. A lot of times, it goes to programs that are created that quite frankly just make the teachers' lives more difficult. But what in the world why do we have a Department of Education at a federal level that over 90% of the budget is being spent elsewhere? And by that, I mean, not on kindergarten through twelfth grade. Let me know what y'all think.

I believed the LA fires would prompt action in California, but I was mistaken. A significant portion of these fires is linked to the homeless population, while the state lacks sufficient firefighters and resources. Instead of addressing these urgent issues, Governor Newsom is focused on his podcast and political battles. Despite warnings about impending disasters, funding for fire prevention was cut in favor of other priorities. The narrative that nothing could have been done to prevent the fires is misleading; leadership failures have led to this crisis. It's time for change in California's leadership.

@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger

I thought the LA fires would wake California up. I was wrong. *Half* of LA fires are started by ~50k meth/fentanyl addicts/mentally ill homeless. LA has half the firefighters it needs. There's not enough hydrant water. And Gavin Newsom is focused like a laser on his podcast.

Everyone talks about the coming disastrous fires and "Big One" earthquake, so you'd think Gavin Newsom would be taking urgent action. He's not. Instead, he's attacking Trump and demanding $40 billion to pay for the LA fires that his leadership failures created. https://t.co/nAUPn6MeDZ

Fire fighters and many others warned Gavin and LA's mayor that catastrophic fires were coming. In response, they cut funding for fire prevention and fire fighters. Why? Because they were focused on promoting DEI, transgenderism, and climate apocalypse https://t.co/pJ3X3f68OQ

Over the next few weeks you’re going to hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles. Those will be lies. They could have prevented them. Governor Newsom cut the funding for preventing forest fires and failed to build sufficient water resources for fighting fires. Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.5 million in funding for the Los Angeles Fire Department and then went to Ghana even though she knew of the risk of catastrophic fires. It’s true that California, in general, and Los Angeles, in particular, are fiery places. It’s true that the Santa Ana winds made the fires worse. But Newsom and Bass have known about those hazards for all of their careers and failed to deal with them. Their rank incompetence and lack of leadership are shocking and scandalous. It’s hard to overstate how badly they screwed up water management. LA firefighters haven’t had the water they needed. Newsom hasn’t built the new water reservoirs that Los Angeles needed. And Newsom even cut the budget for water infrastructure projects last year. Why is that? Part of the reason is that they were focused on other things. Making the fire department more racially diverse. Climate change. Homelessness. And the reason they were focused on those things is because those are what the radical Left that controls the Democratic party wanted them to focus on. Year after year, they do nothing while focusing on things like trans and Trump and climate and ignoring the things that really matter to the people of California. The Democrats in California aren’t like Democrats in other states. They are radicals. I would know, since when I was a young radical I moved to California for that reason. As many of us get older, we become more moderate. We become more practical. We understand firefighters and police officers are necessary. We are reminded of the importance of things like safe streets and hard work and good schools. But more than that, I saw the consequences of radical progressive policies on the environment, homelessness, crime, education, water, and everything else. Violent criminals, in particular, are devouring Los Angeles, Oakland, and the rest of California. The people who control the Democratic Party in California worship books about Los Angeles, like City of Quartz by the Marxist author Mike Davis. In that book, Davis claims that the problem in Los Angeles is that too much money goes to things like firefighting to protect wealthy neighborhoods. They did the same thing on crime and homelessness. They failed to provide adequate funding to the police. They weakened the laws that allowed for burglaries and robberies. They subsidized homelessness, attracting homeless people from around the United States to camp illegally and start fires. Over half of the fires in places like Los Angeles and Oakland are caused by the homeless committing arson, often out of some petty revenge. We don’t know what started all of the fires, but at least one started within the housing subdivision. Others may have started in the interface between housing and wildlands. Or it could have been started by the homeless. Whatever the case, California and LA didn’t invest enough in preventing fires because they were distracted by radical Left causes. When Rick Caruso ran for Mayor against Karen Bass, he called for increasing the fire department’s budget. A big part of the reason he lost is simply because he was white. I watched focus groups in 2022 and the most racist people were white liberals in Los Angeles. When they discussed the mayoral race, the white people overwhelmingly said they couldn’t vote for a white man and had to vote for a black woman because she was black. The Latino men and women in separate focus groups were much less racist. They wanted to know about their policies. It was the radical Left that invented the racist idea that white people alive today should feel guilty about things white people did in the past. Racist white guilt led people in Los Angeles and California to vote against a guy who would have prevented those fires. And so, over the next few weeks, when you hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing they could have done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles, don’t believe them. It’s time for California to grow up and move beyond the juvenile Leftism that has destroyed the state and destroyed Los Angeles. We can’t trust our leaders to run anything. It’s not just incompetence. It’s that they really don’t care. It’s time for Californians to demand new leaders — ones who aren’t beholden to the radicals who control the Democratic Party. .

Don't believe Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the Democratic party when they say nothing could have prevented the Los Angeles fires. Newsom cut fire prevention funding and failed to build needed water resources. Bass cut millions from the LA Fire Department. They've known about these fire hazards for years but failed to address them, focusing instead on radical left causes like racial diversity and climate change. LA firefighters lacked necessary water, and Newsom cut water infrastructure budgets. The Democratic party is controlled by radicals, as I know from my own past. They prioritize things like race and climate over practical needs. They weakened laws, subsidized homelessness, leading to arson-caused fires. The left even chose Bass as mayor because she was a black woman, passing over a white candidate who would have focused on preventing these issues.

Governor Kathy Hochul is under fire for awarding a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, to monopolize New York's Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). This decision threatens nearly 700 local businesses serving hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process. Evidence suggests a cover-up, including reports of PPL's preselection before bidding began and the SEIU Health Care Workers Union announcing PPL had obtained the contract two months before submissions were due. A conflict of interest exists, as Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Hochul on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL. Additionally, Hochul received a $5,000 contribution from PPL's VP of Government Relations in 2023. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation into the scandal, believing something is "rotten" in New York under Hochul's management.

Speaker 0: Governor Kathy Hochul recently awarded a $9,000,000,000 contract to an out of state company to monopolize control over medical services that nearly 700 local businesses provided to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers through a home care Medicaid program known as CDPAP. And herein lies the corruption. A lawsuit has been filed against the New York State Department of Health and the out of state company known as Public Partnerships LLC, or PPL for short. The lawsuit explains how the New York Department of Health preselected PPL as the winner of a multibillion dollar contract before the bidding process even took place. The State Department then ran a sham bidding process in order to cover up for that preselection. Evidence of this cover up includes the fact that multiple reporters and individuals at the Center for Disability Rights were informed by numerous sources of PPL's preselection prior to the bidding. Two months before submissions were due, the eleven ninety nine SEIU Health Care Workers Union announced that the DOH had informed them that PPL had obtained contract. Additionally, Public Consulting Group, an organization that advises Governor Hochul on medical policy and Medicaid reform, just so happens to own more than 25% of PPL through a 16% general ownership with the remainder being owned by three PCG executives. This is a clear conflict of interest. It has also been reported that Kathy Hulcol received a $5,000 contribution in 2023 from PPL's Vice President of Government Relations, further raising suspicion about her direct ties to the company. The DOH played an extended role in carrying out this fraud by also reportedly manipulating and failing to enforce express requirements for contract scoring metrics and qualifications for sub contractors, leading to PPL scoring significantly higher overall. It is very clear that a major scandal is being carried out at the expense of taxpayers. Even New York Democrats such as representative Richie Torres believe that there is quote something run in the state of New York under the management of Kathy Hochul. He is calling for a full investigation into the scandal, and the people of New York deserve answers.

I shared my thoughts on the Department of Education's budget, which is $280 billion annually, with less than 25% actually spent on educating kids. I questioned where the remaining $220 billion goes, suggesting it funds bureaucracy and consultants, ultimately benefiting the Democrats. It feels like money laundering.

@Sassafrass_84 - Sassafrass84

Harriet Hagerman on the Department of Education. Just listen. 👇 "The DOE has a budget of 280 billion dollars a year. Less than 25% goes to educating our children. (It shows too)" "So where does the other 220 billion go?" "It goes to bureaucracy. It goes to a consultant. It then goes back to the DEMOCRATS." It's money laundering. Period.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The DOGE program is definitely targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for example. They have a $280 billion budget annually, but less than 25% goes to educating students. The other $220 billion goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate to Democrats, NGOs—it's money laundering at its finest. This happens in almost every agency. DOGE's brilliance isn't cutting spending directly, as he lacks that authority. Instead, he needs to create a report, going agency by agency, pinpointing programs we shouldn't fund, and attaching a specific dollar amount to them. We then add a preamble stating every agency's budget will be cut by X amount, as detailed in the report, and those programs are dead.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So is the DOGE program targeted at these bureaucrats? Yes. And so how what can you expect? Well, let's look at the Department of Education. The Federal Department of Education spends has a budget of about $280,000,000,000 a year. Less than 25% goes to educating our students. So where does the other $220,000,000,000 go? It goes to a bureaucracy. It goes to a consultant, and that consultant then donates money back to the Democrats. And then it goes to a different consultant and then it goes to an NGO and then it goes to, I mean, it is money laundering and money churning at its absolute best. And you can look at almost every single agency and you will find it. So the brilliance of Doge isn't that he's going in and cutting spending. He doesn't have the authority to do that. We're the ones that have the authority to do that. What I want him to do is come up with a report, go through agency by agency by agency, identify every single program that we should not be funding, put a number attached to it, we slap a preamble on the front of that report, and we say that every single agency is having their budget cut by X amount as shown in the attached report, and none of those programs can go forward from here on out.

Karen Bass, known as the Mayor of Los Angeles, has a complex background that goes beyond her current role. She served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy, involved in controversial foreign interventions. Her political career began early, with significant ties to activist groups and government grants. Despite a scholarship scandal similar to one that led to an indictment for a colleague, she faced no repercussions. Bass's activism has persisted through her time in Congress, where she was deeply engaged in global issues, often prioritizing them over local concerns, as evidenced by her handling of the recent wildfire crisis.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

🧵 THREAD: Who really is Karen Bass? Most people know her as the Mayor of Los Angeles, and some remember her botched handling of this year's wildfire crisis. But there’s a lot more beneath the surface. Let’s dig in. ⬇️ 1️⃣ Karen Bass once served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded NGO notorious for meddling in foreign governments under the banner of "promoting democracy." Translation: soft power regime change. 2️⃣ NED has been exposed repeatedly for funding color revolutions, pushing Western-aligned NGOs, and helping topple governments that don’t play ball with U.S. interests. Bass was right in the middle of it. 3️⃣ And then there’s the scholarship scandal. LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas got federally indicted for receiving a scholarship from USC’s School of Social Work and allegedly trading favors. Bass? She received the exact same scholarship. But no charges. Not even a slap on the wrist. 4️⃣ Why the double standard? When you're part of the machine... when you’ve got D.C. connections, NGO backing, and ties to the intel-adjacent nonprofit world: you get protection. She’s not a DEI figurehead - she's in the system. 5️⃣ This thread will walk through her career, her quiet rise through soft power institutions, and how she became a key player in the globalist swamp. Big thanks to @HTWardish for the lead. Let’s get into it. (Patience as I construct this thread live)🔻

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Karen Bass' political career started early. She volunteered in Robert Kennedy's political campaign in middle school. She studied philosophy at San Diego University from 1971 to 1973, but she was already a full-fledged political activist by then. At the age of only 19 years old, she was already visiting Cuba every six months as a part of a group called the Venceremos Brigade. These visits would continue to the mid-1970s. The Venceremos Brigade was a joint effort from the Castro government - she was working at the behest of a quasi-governmental NGO backed by Castro.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

If you are asking yourself why and how so many activists are raised - this is a common pattern. They "go after" extremist university students and these students become NGO careerists. This is why a top priority of the Trump administration must be to kneecap NGO and foreign influence in colleges.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Bass was so indoctrinated in Castro doctrine that she ended up embracing the more authoritarian aspects of his ideology and ironically rejecting the hippie movement. https://t.co/lakHPewqsc

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

In the late 1980s, Bass founded Community Coalition in South Los Angeles - more commonly known as "CoCo." Their EIN is 954298811, and they have since grown to possess 31 million in assets and get 9 million dollars in revenue. About 3 million of that is government grants. https://t.co/NgpQaAMVl4

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

CoCo's mission statement: community organizing through "building grassroots leadership." Their main service appears to be holding townhalls. The vast majority of their expenditures are in salaries and benefits. https://t.co/lsxgSQUlhH

And, yes, they receive federal grants. All the while drug use in LA has skyrocketed. https://t.co/C8vWGKvaZW

Bass' leadership in Coco would see her be elected to represent California's 47th Assembly District. She became the first Black woman to serve in CA state legislature. She was re-elected in 2006 and 2008, and then her term limit expired. She became appointed as majority whip in 2005- quite a prominent position early on. I'm trying to dig into that.

Bass became elected to the US House of Representatives in 2011, where she would stay until 2022. While in the House of Representatives, she served as a ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations.

Overall, Karen Bass has a mild-mannered image. Her mishandling of the LA Wildfires caused her to be labeled as a DEI mayor. I think that is a mischaracterization. She is terrifyingly effective at what she does best: leftist activism. She is entrenched into the system at a global level. She mishandled the wildfires not because she was incompetent, but she doesn't care about LA residents.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

@MikeBenzCyber In fact, her Ghana trip during the wildfires that she was so criticized for ? She wasn't there to party. She was there as a representative of the Biden administration to honor the inauguration of their new President! https://t.co/behRzFP3qU

I believe that California Democrats have been unaccountable for 20 years, leading to financial mismanagement. When discussing the $24 billion supposedly lost by Gavin Newsom for homelessness, I pointed out that this money is wasted and untraceable. I also highlighted how their policies have contributed to the skyrocketing cost of living, turning apartments that once cost $600 into ones that now cost $3,000. This lack of accountability feels like theft to me.

@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes

Former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger says California Democrats have been stealing money for 20 years, they’re completely unaccountable When asked about the $24 billion dollars Gavin Newsom “lost” meant for the homeless, he says “$24 billion is missing because it's wasted. They cannot even show it. They cannot even have any accountability. But this has been going on for 20 years now” No accountability = stolen He explains how California Democrats created the cost of living crisis, and says they created the circumstances that made an apartment that used to cost $600 now cost $3,000

Video Transcript AI Summary
Politicians are not equipped to solve problems, as evidenced by the alleged disappearance of $24 billion earmarked for homeless aid in California. The homelessness issue was created by politicians and environmentalists who resisted growth, leading to insufficient housing and increased living costs. Wages have not kept pace with rising rents, resulting in economic homelessness. The speaker asserts that doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is insanity, which is what is happening now. The city and state are unable to manage the situation. As an example, the speaker cited homeless veterans camping outside the Veterans Administration in Westwood. The speaker donated money to build small houses for them, demonstrating that solutions are possible with the will to act. They built homes for 25 people within two months, proving that progress is achievable.

Speaker 0: And now remember what Einstein said, the people that created the problem cannot solve it. Speaker 1: They have like they just had where, they found, like, 20 something billion dollars that was, like it was supposed to be earmarked for homeless help in California that went missing, right? How does money go missing once you're in these places, do you think? There's someone confronted at a press conference about 24,000,000,000 spent on tackling homelessness. How does stuff like that, and it didn't have to be this specifically, but once you're in office and you see these huge amounts of money, how does stuff like that just go by the wayside where it gets, you know, lost or missing hypothetically, do you think? Speaker 0: Well, first of all, let me just say none of those politicians I would want to run my company. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 0: None of those companies, none of those politicians I would like to hand over my checkbook my bank account and say, you manage it now. Yeah. So that's where it starts. So they're none they're they're not, that smart when it comes to solving problems. And so I can totally understand how $24,000,000,000 is missing because it's wasted. They cannot even show it. They cannot even have any accountability. But this has been going on for twenty years now. Listen. We're not talking about just for the last few years. Everyone has been complaining about the homeless, but they don't create they don't really tell you that this was created by the politicians, the homelessness. No. No. It was created by having people go and say, we don't want no growth in California. So when you have 19 when I came over, it was nineteen, twenty million people in California. So now when you go to 40,000,000 people, you would know mathematically now you need 12 lane highways. When you have to you know, when you go from 20 to 40,000,000 people, then you need twice as many houses. You need twice as much of everything. They didn't. They didn't take care of them because the environmentalists thought that if we say no growth, then no one will come. But in the meantime, no one gives a shit about that. They come anyway. And then they somehow then live three people in one apartment or five people in one apartment or sometimes with workers that sometimes live 10 people in Speaker 1: one Oh, yeah, there'll really be It's Speaker 0: an amount of housing. Now the prices rise. Now when the prices go up, the value of the apartment building goes up, So the unit that used to cost $600 now costs $3,000 a month, but the salaries, the wages didn't go up accordingly. So now you have people that are economically homeless. They cannot afford paying for their rent anymore. So this is created by the politicians. And now remember what Einstein said, the people that created the problem cannot solve it. So they are doing the same thing over, is another thing Einstein said, you try to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. That's the definition of insanity. Speaker 1: And it feels like that's what we're Speaker 0: living in So this is what we're dealing with here. So we have, you know, the city here is not able to manage this whole thing. On the state level, we are not able to manage this whole thing. So it's like I had to go. I mean, we had the homeless veterans camping out in front of the Veterans Administration up there in Westwood. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, right over there, four zero five in Santa Speaker 0: They're camping out there, and no one is helping them. So I went and they started making a deal, and they said, Can we not put inside some houses, little houses? And they said, Yes. And we started I donated the money and we started building houses. And since then, there's now hundreds of houses inside the Veterans Administration and the homeless are gone because they wanted to help the veterans administration, but it took a while and the city kept saying, oh, it is too difficult to do and this is really challenging to do. I said, watch that. Within two months, we had these houses there, and we created homes for 25 people so they could move in just to show to the city it can be done. Don't give me this.

Gavin Newsom is criticized as the most hypocritical governor in American history, with claims that he has failed California despite spending billions. The homeless crisis remains unchanged after $24 billion, and $5 billion on water storage did not prevent wildfire devastation. A $14.4 billion high-speed rail project has seen no progress. Newsom is accused of misusing tax dollars for pro-abortion initiatives while neglecting pressing state issues. The author argues that Newsom's actions amount to corruption and waste, expressing concern for his potential presidential ambitions.

🚨 Gavin Newsom Is the Most Hypocritical Governor in American History. FULL STOP. California isn’t just broken — it’s been burned to the ground, and HE lit the match. 🔥(Ironic) Let’s talk numbers: 💸 $24 BILLION spent on the homeless crisis. 🔁 Result? Same number of homeless people: 181,000. NO improvement. Zero. Zilch. 💦 $5 BILLION on water storage. 🔥 When wildfires came? No water. Homes burned. Families lost everything. 🚄 $14.4 BILLION on a high-speed rail to nowhere. 🚧 They’ve "prepped" 22 miles out of 100+… and laid ZERO TRACK. Zero. 💀 This man spent $105,000 of YOUR tax dollars putting up pro-abortion billboards in red states — while Californians can’t even afford groceries. And he greenlit $4.44 MILLION for UNINSURED abortions. Not healthcare. Not veterans. ABORTIONS. So where did that $50 BILLION go? The homeless are still on the streets. The state’s still on fire. And the train? Still imaginary. Meanwhile, all that burned property? Newsom’s trying to buy it up for pennies on the dollar to build “low-income housing.” Translation: He’s burning down California and buying back the ashes for pennies then selling them back for a boatload of money. (taking kickbacks in the process to enrich himself) This is criminal. This is corruption. This is the literal definition of waste, fraud, and abuse and this is Gavin Newsom. California deserves better. America deserves better. And God help us all if he ever gets near the White House.

Speaker 0: Pat Brown's father, Edmund Joseph Brown, was known for running scams and gambling operations in San Francisco. With the help of businessman William Newsom the second, Pat Brown became governor of California for two terms. During his governorship, he awarded the Squaw Valley concession contract to William Newsom the third and his partner, John Pelosi. The deal was criticized for the state of California paying for everything and getting nothing. William Newsom the third grew up with the governor's son, Jerry, who was training to be a Jesuit priest. John Pelosi's son, Paul, married Nancy D'Alesandro, daughter of Thomas D'Alesandro Junior, who was known for smuggling heroin into The US with Lucky Luciano and the Baltimore Mafia. John Pelosi's son Ron married William Newsom's daughter, Barbara. Over ongoing disputes about the Squaw Valley concession, William Newsom senior threatened to hurt the governor politically just as governor Brown was running for a third term against Ronald Reagan. He lost. But eight years later, the former governor's Jesuit son, Jerry, reclaimed the governorship in 1974. He appointed William Newsom the third to a place or county judgeship in 1975, and three years later to the state court of appeal. William Newsom was an attorney for oil magnate j Paul Getty, named in the 1966 Guinness Book of World Records as the world's richest private citizen. And while serving on the appellate bench in the nineteen eighties, he helped Getty's son, Gordon, secure a change in state trust law that allowed him to claim his share of a multi air trust. After Newsom retired from the bench, he became administrator of the Getty Trust and provided seed money for his son Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi's nephew, to start the Plump Jack business that led to a career in San Francisco politics. As mayor of San Francisco state of California. Gavin Newsom was informally adopted by the Gettys after his parents divorced and recently succeeded family friend Jerry Brown to be the current governor of California. For eighty years, these four families have ruled over the state of California politically. And with the help of Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Dianne Feinstein, California's uncontrollable state government spending has amounted to over $2,000,000,000,000 in debt and the highest tax rates in the country. The homelessness population is on the rise so much that a typhus outbreak has reached epidemic levels. Thousands of needles from illicit drugs litter the streets. They have made California a sanctuary state. They have been steadily chiseling away at the second amendment. They have passed laws for mandatory vaccinations, and they continue to aggressively oppose our president on every front. On October '16, right before Donald Trump won the election, president Obama transferred full control of the Internet from the US government to an independent California nonprofit organization. In a cyber war scenario, the US government may not have control over the Internet. Even if it secures military and government domains and IP addresses, the targets in cyber warfare are likely to be civilian, and the US government requires private sector infrastructure to operate. Since the Internet underpins our computer systems, electrical grids, communication systems, and other critical infrastructure, our entire civilian society could be at risk. Who controls California? Who controls the four families? What is a republic?

I’m noting that Gavin Newsom signed SB 254, allowing a California utility to draw on the $21B State Wildfire Fund to cover its liability for fires, shifting costs from its private balance sheet to the state fund. The implementation relies on a CPUC board appointed by Newsom, with much of the fund funded by ratepayers, seen as a bailout for SoCal Edison.

@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes

This corruption is INSANE Gavin Newsom just quietly signed a bill allowing a California utility company to draw funding from the State Wildfire Fund to pay their liability for fires 🚨 The utility company is Gavin Newsom’s donor Even more insane, the funding will be implimented by a board Gavin Newsom created and picked Spencer Pratt “In 2024, California saw at least 237 utility equipment ignitions with 135 of those ignitions tied to Southern California Edison. — Now we have SB 254 which was just signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. SB 254 sounds like utility reform with its wildfire mitigation plans and cost effectiveness blah blah blah blah blah. But if you take a deep dive what the bill really does is reduce the financial exposure of Southern California Edison for the Eaton fire. Even the LA Times calls it in quotes effectively a bailout for SoCal Edison. It allows Southern California Edison to draw on the existing $21 billion State Wildfire Fund, half of which is funded by you, the ratepayer, and to move the burden of liability from Southern California Edison's private balance sheet to the state fund. And guess who's the primary implementing agency for SB 254? Gavin's five appointed friends on the California Public Utilities Commission, the CPUC.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 presents a critique of how California handles wildfire liability and utility reform. The speaker notes that when the Los Angeles Times calls something a bailout by Governor Gavin Newsom, it warrants closer examination. The core claim is that California lawmakers frequently attribute wildfires to climate change, but the speaker argues that the underlying issue is different and links it to utility practices and political dynamics. Key facts highlighted include a 2024 tally of utility equipment ignitions in California: at least 237, with 135 of those fire ignitions tied specifically to Southern California Edison (SCE). The speaker asserts that it is easier for legislators to discuss climate change since weather does not fund political campaigns, in contrast to utility companies, which are described as having substantial political donations. The discussion then focuses on SB 254, a bill recently signed by Governor Newsom. The speaker asserts that, on the surface, SB 254 appears to be utility reform with wildfire mitigation plans and cost-effectiveness measures. However, according to the speaker, a deeper look reveals that the bill substantially reduces the financial exposure of Southern California Edison for the Easton fire. The speaker quotes the Los Angeles Times as calling SB 254 “effectively a bailout for SCE,” indicating that the bill allows SCE to draw on the state wildfire fund. Specific financial mechanics are described: the state wildfire fund is stated to be a $21,000,000,000 fund, with roughly half funded by ratepayers. The speaker contends that the bill moves the burden of liability from Southern California Edison’s private balance sheet onto the state fund, thereby shifting financial risk away from the utility and onto public funds. Lastly, the speaker identifies the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as the primary implementing agency for SB 254, noting that it is controlled by Gavin Newsom’s five appointed friends. The overall claim is that SB 254 restructures who bears the financial risk of wildfire liabilities, reframes SCE’s exposure through the state wildfire fund, and positions the CPUC as the agency executing these changes, which the speaker frames as a bailout for SCE.

So what I've been noticing is lawmakers in California love to talk about climate change as the cause of wildfires. But let's talk about what's really happening. In 2024, California saw at least 237 utility equipment ignitions, with a 135 of those fire ignitions tied to Southern California Edison, SCE. It's easier for legislators to talk about climate change though because the weather doesn't fund their campaigns. Meanwhile, utility companies are widely known for their major political donations. Now we have s b two five four, which was just signed by governor Gavin Newsom. SB two five four sounds like utility reform with its wildfire mitigation plans and cost effectiveness, blah blah blah blah blah. But if you take a deep dive, what the bill really does is reduce the financial exposure of Southern California Edison for the Eaton fire. Even the LA Times calls it, in quotes, effectively a bailout for SCE. It allows Southern California Edison to draw on the existing $21,000,000,000 state wildfire fund, money, have half of which is funded by you, the rate payer, and to move the burden of liability from Southern California Edison's private balance sheet to the state fund.

The state then claims federal matching dollars—typically at a 50% rate—before reimbursing private ambulance providers at the original lower cost, effectively pocketing the surplus federal funds to offset state budget shortfalls How has Gavin Newsom not been raided by the FBI and thrown in prison for life

A massive investigation has uncovered that California may have committed major fraud against the US government by exploiting a complicated loophole that allowed them to steal billions in federal taxpayer funds. The findings emerged during a review of California's medical financial records, revealing that under Gavin Newsom's leadership, the state has essentially been funneling taxpayer money from across America to prop up California's finances. The investigation describes an ingenious plan that started in 2022 and centers on the concept of intergovernmental transfers. In simple terms, intergovernmental transfers occur when a local hospital or county makes a transfer to the state's Medicaid agency for payments of medical services such as ambulance rides. After these transfers are made, the state can then request a matching amount of money from the federal government. However, Newsom's California is said to have abused this system by raising the price of a simple ambulance ride by nearly 300%. According to the report, once local hospitals transferred funds to the state and the state received the federal matching funds, they then paid a private ambulance service, which cost only a fraction of the original price, pocketing the difference. The narrative emphasizes that, according to the investigators, this sequence allowed a large gap to be exploited, enabling the state to divert funds that originated as federal dollars. The summary asserts that this scheme, if accurate, involved transforming ordinary intergovernmental transfer mechanics into a vehicle for disproportionately inflating payments for ambulance services and then routing the excess to private providers, rather than to the intended public accounts. It notes that the transfers and the subsequent federal matches occurred within the framework of existing programs, but the practice allegedly subverted the intended use of those funds. Crucially, the report concludes that the entire procedure is lawful within current rules, and it asserts that the government must find a way to close this loophole. The overarching claim is that, by manipulating the pricing of ambulance services and channeling payments through a private ambulance provider, California essentially diverted federal resources through a system that was not designed to support such a practice. The investigation thus frames the situation as a significant example of how intergovernmental transfers can be leveraged in ways that impact federal funds, highlighting the need for reform to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Speaker 0: A massive investigation has uncovered that California may have committed major fraud against the US government by exploiting this complicated loophole that's allowed them to steal billions in federal tax payer funds. One of the largest and most convoluted schemes in modern history has been discovered during a review of California's medical financial records. Investigators found that under Gavin Newsom's leadership, the Golden State has essentially been funneling taxpayer money from all across America to prop up California's own finances. The Ingenious Plan started in 2022, and it revolves around the complex concept of intergovernmental transfers, which in simple terms is when a local hospital or county makes a transfer to the state's Medicaid agency for payments of medical services such as ambulance rides. After the transfers are made, the state can then request a matching amount of money from the federal government, but Newsom's California abused this system by raising the price of a simple ambulance ride by nearly 300%. And then once the local hospitals made the transfer to states and the state received the matching funds from the federal government, they then instead paid a private ambulance service which cost only a fraction of the original price pocketing the difference. But the thing is, this is all legal and the government must find a way to close this loophole.

I say that California taxpayers aren’t the only ones paying: the entire country is. I claim Newsom created a 1:1 federal funding loop for noncitizen healthcare, with $9.6 billion spent this year. I insist the media lies by saying no federal dollars go to illegals; emergency department coverage is backfilled one-for-one with federal funds, so ER use draws federal dollars.

California Assemblyman confirms illegals are receiving healthcare and not only are California taxpayers paying to it but the entire country is Gavin Newsom created a loophole to get 1:1 funding from the federal government on noncitizen healthcare “This past year, we spent $9.6 billion on illegal immigrant health care —The media has actually been lying to people saying that no federal dollars goes to illegal. That is fundamentally wrong.” “Then what most people don't realize are the games that they're playing because we expanded Medi-Cal access towards emergency departments. Emergency departments are actually backfilled and funded one for one dollars from the federal government. So if an illegal immigrant uses the emergency room at all, they are bringing in federal dollars that are being spent on them.” “So it is a lie when they say that there are, there is no federal dollars going to illegal immigrants. California is doing it. The media is lying to you.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker asserts that last year California spent $9.6 billion on health care for illegal immigrants. They claim the media has misled people by saying that no federal dollars go to undocumented immigrants, stating that this is fundamentally wrong. The speaker points to Governor Newsom, who allegedly announced that California is the first state in the nation to provide health care to illegal immigrants. They also claim that San Francisco operates the only universal health care plan in America for all undocumented residents, expressing pride in that status. According to the speaker, a key mechanism behind federal funding for care provided to undocumented individuals is the expansion of medical access through emergency departments. They contend that emergency departments are backfilled and funded at a rate of one dollar from the federal government. The implication is that any time an illegal immigrant uses the emergency room, federal dollars are brought in to cover or support that care, effectively meaning there are federal dollars being spent on illegal immigrants. The speaker asserts that the statement that there are no federal dollars going to illegal immigrants is a lie, arguing that California is facilitating this funding. They also claim that the media is lying about this issue as well. Throughout the statement, the overarching themes are the existence of substantial state spending on undocumented health care, the involvement of federal funding through emergency department backfill, and the portrayal of these facts as being misrepresented by the media. In summary, the speaker emphasizes four main points: (1) California’s reported $9.6 billion expenditure on health care for undocumented immigrants, (2) Governor Newsom’s assertion that California is leading the nation in providing health care to illegal immigrants, (3) San Francisco’s universal health care plan for all undocumented residents, and (4) the mechanism by which emergency department funding from the federal government allegedly backfills care for undocumented individuals, leading to federal dollars being spent on them. The speaker concludes by asserting that the claim of no federal dollars supporting illegal immigrants is false and accuses the media of lying.

Speaker 0: This past year, we spent $9,600,000,000 on illegal immigrant health care. Oh my god. The media has actually been lying to people saying that no federal dollars goes to illegals. That is fundamentally wrong. Governor Newsom came out last week and actually said, we are the first state in the nation to provide illegal immigrants health care. San Francisco is the only universal health care plan for all undocumented residents in America. Very proud of that. And then what most people don't realize are the games that they're playing because we expanded medical access towards emergency departments. Emergency departments are actually backfilled and funded one for $1 from the federal government. So if an illegal immigrant uses the emergency room at all, they are bringing in federal dollars that are being spent on them. So it is a lie when they say that there are there is no federal dollars going to illegal immigrants. California is doing it. The media is lying too.

I say RFK Jr claims it wasn’t 400, but 500 hospices shut down in Los Angeles. He alleges none called to complain; 100% were fraud. These fake California hospices created fake addresses, then would approach poor neighborhoods and pay residents $600 flat-screen TVs in exchange for their patient IDs. They billed taxpayers thousands per patient, also paid for lists of patients, and began billing for them. Not a single California Democrat has been held accountable.

We've shut down 500 hospices in Los Angeles. Incidentally, we haven't had one call from Congress or anybody else about complaining because clearly, these were fraudulent. A lot of these places, you'd say, they'd have, they were just invented addresses. They would obtain patient identification or they would pay people. They were going and giving people in poor neighborhoods flat screen televisions $600 and then they would enlist them and enroll them in the hospice and we were paying them $6,000.
