Alexander Suker, 42, was contracted with the city and county of Los Angeles to house and feed up to 600 homeless people, but was accused of misusing tens of millions of dollars to live a luxurious life. Exclusive Fox video shows the federal agents’ early-morning bust at the LA mansion. Suker was arrested, and his $125,000 Land Rover was seized by law enforcement. The feds say Suker defrauded the city and county of LA out of $23,000,000 for not only his mansion and car, but a second home in Greece, luxury vacations, designer clothes, and private schools. Speaker 1: He was living the high life while the people suffering, homeless on the streets with no shelter, no food. They're living out in the streets. People are literally dying, and this guy is out vacationing, buying homes, buying Range Rovers, and going shopping. Speaker 0: Prosecutors say Suker was supposed to provide three nutritional meals a day to the homeless, but during one inspection, Suker only had canned beans and ramen noodles on hand. The feds say Suker lied about various aspects of abundant blessings, including fake vendors, facilities and the homeless actually getting meals. The US Attorney's Office in LA says they are actively investigating at least 12 other similar fraud cases here in California. First Assistant US Attorney Bill Asele says there's a tremendous amount of fraud in this state and that today's bust of one man who misused $23,000,000 alone may show how little oversight there is. Speaker 1: California was pushing this money out quickly. A lot of money went out the door, with frankly very little vetting, very little checks and balances, and, he's one of the individuals that got it. Speaker 0: The suspect is scheduled to make his first appearance later today. He faces up to twenty years if convicted on a federal case. The local district attorney is also planning on prosecuting.

California is repaying $1.6 billion previously charged to the federal government for health care services provided to illegal immigrants, and a larger program integrity issue is claimed to exist in the state’s health care system. The speaker instructs Governor Newsom to produce within three weeks a comprehensive program integrity action plan to address major fraud. Three examples of alleged embarrassing fraud in California are highlighted: 1) In-home supportive services (which California shares with Minnesota) include personal care such as bathing or grooming, household tasks, cleaning and cooking, shopping, and transportation. These are tasks that families could perform, but government funding is said to have generated significant cash for unethical people. California spending for these services increased from eight to twenty-eight billion dollars over the past decade, with a claim that federal taxpayers are paying 250% more for California, an affluent state, and that the program is still growing by double digits annually. 2) In 2024, spending for home health care in California purportedly rose by more than 21%, representing the largest growth rate for any major health category nationwide. The number of home health agencies in California reportedly almost doubled between 2019 and 2024. Los Angeles County alone is said to account for $1.4 billion, representing almost 9% of total fee-for-service home health spending for the entire country, despite having just 2% of national enrollment. The assertion is that this concentrates home health funds in L.A. County, limiting access for other Americans who could benefit from these services. 3) The 2022 California state auditor report is cited as showing that the number of hospice agents in Los Angeles County increased by 1,500% since 2010, a growth rate that allegedly far exceeds the 40% increase in the senior population over the same period. The speaker questions how a sevenfold increase in hospice could be defended, noting reports from seniors who claim they were duped by fraudsters and that California is not stopping these criminals. The speaker reiterates that Governor Newsom’s deadline for a comprehensive program integrity action plan is approaching and urges action to save American lives rather than enabling criminals.

Hey everyone, Savannah Hernandez here in Boston, one of four cities defying federal immigration law. Massachusetts just allocated $425 million in pandemic funds to house migrants through June 2025. I sent someone posing as an immigrant to City Hall to see what's offered. Many sanctuary cities temporarily house migrants in hotels before permanent placement. Boston's mayor, along with Chicago, Denver, and New York City's mayors, will address a House oversight committee next month on their sanctuary policies. They claim compassion and public safety can coexist, but a recent incident involving an illegal immigrant arrested with 5,000 grams of fentanyl and an AR-15 in a Boston hotel contradicts that claim. Other arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston involved gang activity, child rape, murder, and drug distribution. This highlights the ongoing conflict between sanctuary cities and the federal government, with threats of prosecution and funding cuts.

The speakers claim California, the world's fourth-largest economy, smells like urine and weed, and is in a state of squalor. Despite four tax increases in the last decade to address homelessness, totaling $38 billion, the problem has worsened. One speaker suggests the incentives are to perpetuate homelessness. One speaker claims Gavin Newsom promised to fix the homeless problem decades ago when he was mayor of San Francisco. A gubernatorial candidate, Steve, is introduced. Steve interviews homeless individuals who state that no one is helping them. One individual claims that when Biden was in office, illegal immigrants were brought to the area and then disappeared, and that funds meant for the homeless went to them. He also states that despite increased spending, there are more people on the street. He expresses his support for Trump.

The transcript presents a long-form exposé-style investigation into what the speakers describe as widespread fraud in California’s caregiving sectors, focusing on hospice, home health care, and daycares, with emphasis on Los Angeles and Van Nuys. - Opening claim and context: - Speaker 0 asks why there is a thousand percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles and whether paperwork exists to enroll a child named Joey. They claim California has the largest fraud risk, with Medi-Cal spending rising from 2022 to 2026 (from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion) while population growth hasn’t matched spending growth. They allege “one out of every $10 of home health care in America is spent in Los Angeles.” They argue government-funded daycare programs are “filled with violations,” and that fraud could be “hundreds of billions of dollars.” - Daycare fraud focus: - The video claims daycares are used to receive government money (CalWORKS) by enrolling children on paper while not having real enrollments. They show various locations and describe conditions as suspicious or unsafe (graffiti, boarded-up buildings, dumpsters, a homeless person near a daycare). - Medina Learning Center is described as “now enrolling,” with “as their backup facility, the UMI Learning Center,” which was “convicted in federal court in 2024 of having a 150 ghost kids.” They seek paperwork to enroll a child named Joey. - Hayden Sarah Family Child Care is described as having “14 children enrolled” per state records but “zero present” when inspectors arrived; the facility roster and missing children records are cited as violations. - Jama Shukri Family Childcare is described as a daycare located in an apartment building (one-bedroom, eight capacity) with two children outside and no adult visible, raising concerns about supervision. - The video notes California allocates $6 billion to childcare, “over 39,000 facilities,” with a state audit error rate of 1.6%, and conservative estimates suggest “upwards of a $100,000,000 in fraud lost each and every single year.” - A recurring theme is “shell registrations” and unregistered CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) entities; seven of the four entities shown have “zero SMS data,” implying shell companies or fraud networks possibly connected to Armenian/Russian gangs. - Hospice and home health care fraud focus: - The group shifts to Van Nuys, California, claiming “home health care and hospice fraud” is pervasive there; they assert “one out of every $10 that goes towards home health care in the United States goes to a business here in LA.” They visit numerous hospice centers in a single plaza, naming Gardens of Angels Hospice and Blossom Hospice as examples of high billing with few services performed (e.g., Gardens of Angels: “billed $4,800,000 per beneficiary,” “$5,807 per claim,” 28.6 claims per patient, only two codes). Blossom Hospice is described as “$3,400,000” billed with “$927 per claim,” again with only one code and minimal services. - They claim “seven of the four entities have zero SMS data” and label some facilities as shell registrations; some locations appear “registering for hospice but not actually providing care,” with claims of “shell buildings” or storefronts that are empty or only used for billing. - The video notes the presence of luxury cars at these sites (Mercedes, Teslas, BMWs, a Cybertruck) and references a pattern of wealthy vehicles associated with hospice sites, suggesting profits from taxpayers’ dollars. - Miracle Healing Hospice is described as having billed $1,300,000 in 2023 with 38 beneficiaries: “$32,000 per beneficiary,” but the location was reported as an empty building when visited. - The presenters also describe finding a location that “received $19,000,000” over the past years for Healthy Life Adult Daycare, yet the building appears dilapidated and shows no adults present during visits. Phone lines and mailboxes are reported as failing to provide information or contacts. - Interviews and expert commentary: - A professional in the medical industry is interviewed to explain how fraud could occur: someone could obtain a Medicare number and use it to bill Medicare for hospice services; fraudsters reportedly can open a hospice license without being a physician, then bill the system and receive payments quickly. - The interview suggests Medicare numbers can be stolen or purchased; the speaker emphasizes that “anybody can get a hospice license,” and that the process enables easy billings to Medicare/Medicaid. - A participant describes a trend of these facilities opening and billing, with the implication that people exploit the system for swift returns. - Overall framing and conclusions presented: - The speakers argue that there is a thousand percent increase in hospice openings in California, a surge in fraudulent activity across daycares and hospice/hom e health facilities, and that tax dollars are funding these entities with little-to-no accountability. They juxtapose luxury cars and upscale appearances with empty or non-operational facilities to illustrate alleged misappropriation of funds. They advocate scrutiny, data-backed investigation, and accountability for what they describe as widespread fraud affecting taxpayers and vulnerable populations. - Closing sentiments: - The narrative closes with a call to action against fraud, emphasizing the impact on ordinary Americans who face rising costs and debt, and claiming that exposing fraud is essential to protecting taxpayer dollars and national financial health.

The speaker describes spending in Los Angeles on homelessness, stating that last year $13,000,000,000 was used to combat homelessness in the city. They claim that this money went to “these trash nonprofits” where “a bunch of executives” earn “half a $1,000,000 a year.” The speaker asserts, “You’re working for a nonprofit dealing with homelessness. That’s my money. That’s my parents’ money.” They emphasize that hardworking people of California pay incredibly high taxes that fund this through the claimed expenditures. The speaker connects this spending to the broader political perspective by saying they are sick of it and describe their experience on the ground in California as causing them to question a lot about left-wing ideology.

The US Attorney for the Central District of California states California is a sanctuary state that doesn't recognize ICE detainers, facilitating the release of criminal illegal immigrants. The federal government may withhold funding from states that don't honor ICE detainers. The office will file criminal charges for illegal immigrants who unlawfully re-entered the US. The speaker discusses a case where an individual sentenced to ten years for killing two teenagers may only serve three. The office will charge him with illegal reentry, potentially leading to 20 years in federal prison, followed by deportation. The current administration is enforcing the law regarding deported individuals who re-enter the country, a change from the previous administration. Last year, only seven such cases were filed, while this year, over 250 have already been filed. The message to those considering re-entry or re-offending is: don't. Immigration laws are not up for negotiation and must be followed.

In San Diego, there was an exponential increase in significant interest aliens (SIAs), defined as aliens with significant ties to terrorism. The San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIAs per year before this administration, but went to over 100 in 2022, and even more in 2023 and this year. The speaker was allegedly told not to release information on this increase. The San Diego area sees 80-90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for the entire country, and with little border enforcement, these drugs were coming through in mass. The price for a single pill of fentanyl went from $10 to $0.25. San Diego traffic checkpoints were shut down due to resources being diverted. The speaker had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities that could not support them. To mitigate this, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas at $150,000 per flight.

A taxpayer complains about the waste of their money by an unnamed individual. They claim $24 billion was spent on the homeless population, but it remained at 181,000. Another $5 billion was allegedly spent on water storage, yet there was no water during state fires. The speaker also claims $14.4 billion was spent on a high-speed railroad, with only 22 miles prepped and zero miles of track laid. Furthermore, they allege $105,000 of taxpayer money was used for billboards in red states advertising California as an abortion sanctuary, and $44 million was allocated to uninsured abortions. The speaker asserts that despite spending almost $50 billion, the homeless population grew, there is no water, and there is no high-speed train. They also claim property burned due to lack of water, and the individual is trying to buy it for pennies on the dollar for low-income housing.

It's an exciting time with President Trump focused on fulfilling his promises, like Elon Musk's work identifying wasteful spending. We need mayors who prioritize citizens' needs over sanctuary city status. Trump fired Biden's federal prosecutors to ensure equal treatment under the law, not political prosecution. The Justice Department should apply the law fairly, unlike the past administration's political approach. We're addressing censorship, holding foreign countries accountable for censoring Americans, and investigating past issues like the Hunter Biden deal and the weaponization of government. We want the FBI to focus on traditional crime, not surveillance. The Justice Department is suing sanctuary states. If you aid criminals, you should be prosecuted.

I believe I've uncovered a significant money laundering scheme in California related to homelessness. Recently, $24 billion intended for addressing homelessness has gone missing, and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has been making questionable public housing deals. For instance, $145 million for 407 units and $150 million for 270 units seem excessive and ineffective. A recurring entity in these projects is the Chelsea Investment Corporation, which claims to focus on affordable housing but is based in the Cayman Islands. Their California headquarters is owned by a shell company linked to them. Notably, this property’s value skyrocketed from $3 million in 2016 to $68.7 million in 2023, with financing from the San Diego Housing Authority. This raises serious concerns about potential money laundering activities. There’s definitely something suspicious happening here.

In Los Angeles, there are 42 hospices within a four-block radius, with Cyrillic and Armenian/Russian writing on buildings and little visible patient care activity. A major case involved $16,000,000 stolen, with the main organizer going to jail for two years. The area had an apparently empty hospice center and claimed services for people at home that were not actually provided. The speaker asserts roughly $3.5 billion in fraud is taking place in Los Angeles hospice and home care, run largely by the Russian Armenian mafia. The narration notes the presence of language and dialect behind the speaker as indicative of this organized crime. The operation allegedly recruited hundreds of doctors to write false prescriptions and paid or tricked 100,000 patients into giving them their beneficiary numbers to perpetuate the fraud. Criminals allegedly run the organization and quickly evade when law enforcement prosecutes them. California has not given much attention to these problems, but that is changing, according to the speaker. The US attorney and FBI are now focused on the issue in a state with about $30,000,000,000 worth of home and community-based services, most of which, the speaker claims, might be fraudulent. The statement concludes that the President is not going to tolerate this anymore.

San Francisco is facing a drug crisis, rampant homelessness, and a rise in crime. Drug addicts are being paid to use drugs, leading to a high number of overdose deaths. Many of the homeless individuals in the city actually have homes but choose to live on the streets to do drugs. Fentanyl is a commonly used drug in the area. Businesses are leaving due to the unsafe environment, and the city is struggling to address the issues. The government's harm reduction approach, which includes providing drug paraphernalia, is not effectively solving the problem. The lack of law enforcement and the $950 limit for felony charges contribute to the rise in crime. Oakland, a neighboring city, is also facing similar challenges with homelessness and crime.

Gaza Whistleblower RUNNING For Congress
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this Friday segment, Anthony Aguular discusses his unexpected decision to run for Congress in North Carolina’s 13th district as an independent, driven by his Gaza experience and concerns about how U.S. foreign and domestic policy are shaped. He recounts his military career, his visit to Gaza, and how those experiences led him to question the two-party system and the alignment of major parties with broader national interests. Aguular argues that the current political landscape is dominated by a flawed menu of choices, suggesting that the electorate deserves a more independent kind of representation and a focus on ethical governance, accountability, and policy reform rather than party loyalty. He emphasizes his residence and stake in the community, arguing that true representation should come from someone who lives and serves where constituents live, work, and raise families, especially veterans in his district who he says are underserved by current funding decisions. The conversation shifts to policy specifics, with Aguular advocating reform of domestic spending, scrutinizing the Department of Homeland Security and its enforcement agencies, and opposing unrestricted expansion of immigration enforcement while endorsing a balanced, rights-respecting approach. He calls for ending or reforming problematic programs tied to foreign entities and earmarks, and he cites budget priorities like healthcare, education, and veterans’ services as American priorities that deserve funding. The interview also touches on transparency, integrity, and the role of media in reporting hard questions without bias, underscoring Aguular’s commitment to principled governance over partisan advantage.

Megyn Kelly discusses various controversial topics with guests Carrie Prejean and Jason Rantz. They start by addressing Megan Rapinoe's retirement from soccer, criticizing her disdain for the national anthem and her perceived lack of gratitude towards the country that supported her career. They also highlight the introduction of a non-binary character in a popular children's show, Paw Patrol, suggesting it is an attempt to indoctrinate children with gender ideology. Carrie Prejean expresses her outrage over California State Senator Scott Weiner, who she accuses of promoting harmful legislation affecting children, particularly regarding gender identity. She describes a recent event in San Francisco, the Folsom Street Fair, as graphic and inappropriate, criticizing Weiner for celebrating it. The conversation shifts to the broader implications of such legislation and the perceived moral decay in society. Jason Rantz joins to discuss his book, "What's Killing America," focusing on crime and homelessness in progressive cities. He points out the surge in juvenile crime due to policies that decriminalize certain behaviors and the failure of restorative justice programs. Rantz emphasizes the need for accountability in the justice system, especially for violent offenders, and critiques the harm reduction approach to drug addiction, which he argues has led to increased fatalities. The discussion also touches on the homelessness crisis, with Rantz explaining that simply providing housing without addressing underlying issues like addiction is ineffective. He highlights the failures of the "housing first" model and the negative consequences of policies that prioritize compassion over public safety. The conversation concludes with a focus on the fentanyl crisis, detailing how drug cartels are lacing pills with fentanyl, leading to increased overdoses and deaths. Rantz stresses the urgency of addressing these issues, arguing that the current approach is failing to protect children and communities.

AWS Outage, Musk's MASSIVE Tesla Payday + Will OpenAI's Atlas Crush Chrome? | PBD Podcast | Ep. 670
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The podcast opened with a significant discussion on OpenAI's new AI-powered web browser, ChatGPT Atlas, which directly challenges Google Chrome and its search engine dominance. This development, leading to a dip in Alphabet (Google) shares, was framed as a shift from traditional keyword-based search to conversational AI, potentially disrupting Google's lucrative AdSense revenue. The hosts compared the user experience, noting Atlas's ability to provide direct, summarized answers, and explored the implications for Google's business model and the broader "web browser wars." Another key segment focused on Elon Musk's proposed $1 trillion performance-based pay package at Tesla, with Kathy Wood's strong endorsement highlighted. The hosts detailed the ambitious targets required for Musk to receive the payout, including Tesla reaching an $8.5 trillion valuation by 2035, and touched upon the legal complexities surrounding executive compensation and investor rights, referencing a previous Delaware court ruling. Geopolitical and economic themes were prominent, including President Trump's warning about the US economy if the Supreme Court restricts presidential tariff powers. The hosts advocated for tariffs as a crucial negotiation tool, citing their effectiveness in bringing manufacturing (pharmaceuticals, chips) back to the US and creating jobs. This led to a discussion of the US-Australia $8.5 billion critical minerals deal, designed to counter China's dominance in rare earth refining, and the historical context of US environmental regulations that led to the closure of domestic refining facilities. Domestic issues covered included the California homelessness crisis, with the DOJ accusing real estate developers of $50 million in funding fraud. The hosts criticized California's governance, highlighting inefficiencies in public spending and restrictive housing policies. Internationally, the podcast examined the proposed $20 billion US bank bailout for Argentina, intended to support President Javier Milei's libertarian economic reforms. The hosts emphasized the importance of Milei's success in countering socialist narratives in Latin America, also noting critical remarks from the Colombian President towards Trump. Technology infrastructure concerns were raised by a widespread AWS outage, which disrupted numerous popular websites and apps. This incident underscored the vulnerabilities of centralized cloud services, prompting discussions on national security implications and potential government influence over digital communication platforms, drawing parallels to past deplatforming events. Finally, the hosts addressed the growing trend of wealthy families creating mission statements for intergenerational wealth preservation and a study revealing Americans' widespread underpreparedness for longer lifespans and extended retirement, particularly concerning long-term care costs and financial planning.

Keeping It Real

Guests: James Li
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels interviews investigative journalist James Li about a wide range of topics spanning California policy, media narratives, and the dangers of misinformation. They explore how California’s homelessness crisis has been funded and spent, arguing that large sums have largely lined the pockets of developers rather than solving the problem of housing for the unhoused. James explains how he aggregates local reporting, emphasizes accountability, and stresses the importance of following the money to reveal conflicts of interest in government contracts and nonprofit funding channels. The conversation shifts to media dynamics and the culture war, with both hosts examining how “us versus them” framing shapes public discourse. They discuss censorship, platform bias, and the need for transparent, evidence-based reporting. Jillian pushes back on conspiracy-laden claims, insisting on nuance and demanding credible sourcing, while James acknowledges biases but defends his goal of informing the public so people can make their own decisions. A substantial portion of the dialogue centers on Israel-Palestine coverage and the risks of painting entire communities with broad strokes. They debate the line between criticizing government policy and demonizing groups, the role of foreign influence in U.S. politics, and how to condemn violence on all sides without endorsing anti-Semitism or Islamophobia. Both guests emphasize the responsibility journalists have to present competing viewpoints and to challenge unquestioned narratives, even when this undermines partisan loyalties. Interwoven throughout are lighter threads about the economics of health and wellness coverage, including critiques of the pharmaceutical and food industries. They discuss fentely how incentives shape medical advice, vaccination policy, and consumer products like tampons, fluoride, and GLP-1 medications. James reiterates his commitment to independent, low-budget journalism and shares his plans for future projects, including a new show dedicated to balanced, information-first conversations. He and Jillian conclude with mutual respect and a pledge to continue pursuing truth with courage and humility.
