Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, giving them control over medical services previously provided by 700 local businesses through the CDPAP Medicaid program. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process. Multiple sources informed reporters and the Center for Disability Rights of PPL's preselection before bidding. The 1199 SEIU Health Care Workers Union announced PPL's contract win two months before submissions were due. Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Hochul on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. Hochul also allegedly received a $5,000 contribution in 2023 from PPL's VP of Government Relations. The DOH reportedly manipulated contract scoring and subcontractor qualifications, leading to PPL's higher score. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation, believing there is "something rotten in the state of New York" under Hochul's management.

New York City Mayor Adams is facing criticism for a program that provides prepaid debit cards to illegal migrants, with a contract worth $53 million. The cards can hold up to $10,000 and will be refilled every four weeks. The program aims to save money and prevent food waste, but concerns have been raised about the lack of fraud control and restrictions. Critics argue that the program is a form of taxation without representation and that other providers could have offered the same services at a lower cost. The mayor denies any personal relationship with the company involved. The program has sparked controversy and speculation about potential corruption and money laundering.

Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, to monopolize a home care Medicaid program (CDPAP), impacting 700 local businesses and numerous New Yorkers. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process, evidenced by prior knowledge from multiple sources and the SEIU Health Care Workers Union. Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Governor Hochul on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. Additionally, Hochul received a $5,000 contribution from PPL's VP of Government Relations in 2023. The Department of Health reportedly manipulated contract scoring to favor PPL. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation, suspecting corruption under Hochul's management.

CDPAP is very important, and the Department of Health estimates that 26,000-28,000 people with disabilities will lose services, which is 10%. In Pennsylvania, it was up to 40%. Home care workers are now making minimum wage. The speaker demands that home care be a priority and CDPAP and affordability be preserved. They disapprove of giving money to a company owned by a hedge fund. The speaker wants to see money go where the care is, not sound bites. They claim they have not been lied to, and that the Department of Health's estimates are a lie.

Charges have been filed against the state of New York, Kathy Hochul, Leticia James, and Mark Schroeder of the DMV. This action is being taken by a new DOJ to protect American citizens and angel moms. New York is accused of prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is under fire for a law that hides gender dysphoria diagnoses from parents, endangering children. Newsom's privileged background and weak leadership have led to increased homelessness and drug addiction. His policies prioritize affirming psychiatric disorders over treating them. A movement is forming to oppose Newsom's harmful actions and demand better care for Californians. It is crucial to spread awareness and hold Newsom accountable for his damaging policies.

The speaker claims corruption in the Democrat party is at an all time high. New York Governor Kathy Hochul spent $178,000 in taxpayer funds on private jet travel after signing legislation for fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion for carbon emissions. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James paid $483,000 to the law firm Davis Polk starting in April of last year, four months after Kathy Hochul's husband was hired by the company. James is under investigation from the DOJ for falsifying documents and claiming she legally lives at a property in Virginia for a better mortgage. Hochul then passed a new budget that includes $10 million in legal funds for James, paid for by New York taxpayers. Forensic accountant Sam Antar says a contract between the attorney general's office and Davis Polk was dormant until Hochul's husband joined the firm, after which money started flowing. After James got into trouble, she received $10 million from the state for a criminal defense. Antar believes there is something very corrupt happening and is expanding the scope of his investigation into Hochul's dealings with James.

There's a serious problem in New York with Governor Hochul's plan to overhaul the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which helps chronically ill and disabled individuals hire caregivers, often family members. Hochul wants to consolidate the $9 billion initiative under a single financial intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company with no New York healthcare experience. PPL was allegedly chosen before the bidding process even began, despite numerous failed contracts and financial issues in other states like Pennsylvania, where it cost the state millions. This move could benefit union leader George Grisham by further unionizing home caregivers. It also threatens to shut down 600 companies and impact half a million New Yorkers. Even Democrats like Congressman Richie Torres are questioning this deal, especially given PPL's track record of failure.

Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $45 billion medical care contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), potentially jeopardizing New York's home care Medicaid program (CDPAP) and nearly 700 businesses. The eleven ninety nine SEIU union allegedly knew of PPL's acquisition before public bidding, suggesting the contract was rigged. The union allegedly made a deal with PPL to unionize workers, potentially generating an additional $1 billion annually for the union. Helen Schwab of eleven ninety nine SEIU admitted to the deal. The union is also holding internal elections to build a coalition against President Trump, which would be funded by the federal government if the deal proceeds. Republicans and Democrats, including NY State Rep Richie Torres, are calling for an investigation into the apparent fraud. One individual is calling upon the Medicaid inspector general to conduct an independent investigation into the Hochul administration's handling of a contract for a $9 billion home care program. The deal is set to take effect on March 28.

I recently awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, giving them control over medical services previously provided by 700 local businesses through the CDPAP Medicaid program. A lawsuit has been filed against the NYS Department of Health and PPL, alleging PPL was preselected before the bidding process. Evidence includes reports of PPL's preselection prior to bidding and an announcement by the SEIU Health Care Workers Union two months before submissions were due. Public Consulting Group, which advises me on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. I also received a $5,000 contribution from PPL's Vice President of Government Relations in 2023. The Department of Health manipulated contract scoring, leading to PPL scoring higher. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation into this scandal. New Yorkers deserve answers.

We received a statement from DHS about the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to NYC for migrants. Four employees are being fired for making the payment without authorization. This misappropriation of funds is long overdue; billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on housing, food, and healthcare for illegal immigrants. New York City’s sanctuary city status incentivizes this, and it must stop. Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have been criticized for their handling of the migrant crisis. The Biden administration’s policies are contributing to the problem, and stopping the influx at the border is crucial. Additionally, New York’s top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be allowed.

The speaker expresses shock and disbelief over a recent decision in New York, stating it makes the state unattractive for investment. They highlight the importance of winner states with favorable policies. The conversation shifts to Governor Hochul's comments on the issue, questioning the lack of a clear victim and the legal basis for the decision. The focus is on New York's reputation and the impact on potential investments. The discussion concludes with a call for New York to address its status as a "loser state" and attract businesses.

We just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for the unauthorized $59 million FEMA payment for NYC migrant hotels. This was long overdue; billions of taxpayer dollars have been misspent on housing, food, and healthcare for illegal immigrants in New York City. This incentivizes sanctuary cities and states to continue this practice, circumventing federal law. New York's leadership is inept and corrupt; Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul have enabled this, despite the strain on resources and the migrant crisis. We must stop the influx at the border and stop incentivizing this behavior. Furthermore, New York's top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this previously but are concerned about the court's potential bias.

We may be witnessing one of the biggest Medicaid fraud schemes in U.S. history. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently awarded a $45 billion medical care contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL). 50% of this contract is funded by the federal government. This contract will destroy nearly 700 businesses and jeopardize the home care Medicaid program. The eleven ninety nine SEIU union announced that PPL would be acquiring the contract before public bidding even started, providing clear evidence that PPL's acquisition of this government contract was rigged. The union knew because they made a deal with PPL to unionize all workers, resulting in the union taking in an additional $1 billion per year. Republicans and Democrats have called for investigation into this apparent fraud scheme. I am calling upon the Medicaid inspector general to conduct an independent investigation. Kathy Hochul, eleven ninety nine SEIU, and PPL are hoping to hold out until March 28 when the deal goes into effect. This fraud scheme must be investigated right now.

Governor Hochul is facing criticism over a plan to consolidate New York's $9 billion Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) into a single financial intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company. PPL was allegedly chosen before the bidding process began, with New York only reviewing 4 out of 136 bids. PPL has a history of failed contracts in other states like New Jersey, Washington, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania, where it cost the state $7 million and left caregivers unpaid. The move is suspected to benefit George Grisham's union, 1199 SEIU, by enabling further unionization of 280,000 home caregivers. The change could shut down 600 companies in New York and impact half a million New Yorkers. The New York legislature and Congressman Richie Torres are questioning the deal, alleging a lack of transparency and expressing concerns that it will increase costs and burden families.

Two scammers pled guilty to a $68,000,000 fraud scheme tied to the state's Medicaid home care program. The crooks billed for millions in services that they never provided, in a case linked to the CDPAP program, which allows people who need care to hire their own caregiver through Medicaid, choosing a friend or relative as long as they go through the process. News Nation reports that two New Yorkers pled guilty to a involving large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid over $68,000,000 for services that were not provided. This follows a separate million-dollar-plus conviction announced by New York Attorney General Letitia James this week, still tied to fake billing and kickback schemes within the state's Medicaid program. CDPAP, the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is described as meant to make care easier for loved ones at home rather than in nursing homes, but is targeted by sophisticated scammers. Attorney John Flynn explains that while CDPAP is for people who need care, it’s become a target for scammers; the program’s intent is good, but bad people are taking advantage of federal and state money. The article notes that fraud in the CDPAP program is not new. In 2018, a man arranged for friends and family members to be paid as home caregivers for his sick mom, only to discover his mom was living in Bangladesh; during home inspections, his brother impersonated her to keep the fraud going. In 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul called CDPAP a “racket” and described it as one of the most abused programs in New York’s history. News Nation asked the governor’s office for comment on the recent fraud charges; a spokesperson said she has taken steps to fix the system by cutting out hundreds of middlemen. The governor’s office also cited Letitia James’s transportation company bust as an example of efforts to stop this kind of crime. The report notes that when Republicans asked for an audit of the CDPAP program in New York, supporters called it a political stunt, arguing that measures are already in place. Amid ongoing fraud, the narrative references a broader effort, including President Donald Trump announcing a new division to combat crimes like this. Natasha and Lea Lando are reporting on this developing story from New York. Lea Lando is live in Manhattan with the latest.

I'm heading to Capitol Hill. They’re voting on the Shutdown Fairness Act today, but I figured something out. I think I understand why this shutdown is happening: why would the Democrats shut down the government, depriving federal workers and the military of pay and food, and depriving the military of their health care through Tricare? It doesn’t make sense. It has nothing to do with it being the far left or against Trump. It has to do with the insurance companies. The people responsible are insurance companies like United Healthcare, Aetna, Molina, Kaiser. They are getting paid every single month from the treasury, even as the government is shut down. So the insurance companies are getting mandatory payments while federal workers and the military get nothing. This isn’t about health care in the abstract; it’s about dark money from billion-dollar insurance companies. If they lose the ACA credits for next year, they won’t get any of that money. Tax credits are paid on behalf of the insured, and they go directly to the insurance companies. That’s why Democrats are fighting so hard on this: it has nothing to do with people’s premiums per se. It has to do with the insurance companies not getting billions and billions of dollars in January and next year. The shutdown, to me, finally makes sense: it’s about the billion-dollar insurance companies. And so much of the Democrats’ talking points—about premiums—miss the point. These are not market rates; they’re set by the insurance companies. They’re the ones deciding to keep people without health care. The government isn’t the main bottleneck; if anything, the government is helping the problem. The problem is the insurance companies. They set premiums, and their providers own hospitals and set obscene rates for procedures, profiting off the hospitals. This entire shutdown is about dark money from corporations like United Healthcare, Aetna, Kaiser, Molina, and their influence on our politicians. That’s why the government is shut down right now. The idea that Democrats might be acting because insurers threaten to withhold funding for reelection finally clicks. It’s all about health insurance companies, not about people trying to access health care. If the goal were to make access to care cheaper, they would force insurers to quit raising premiums and put a cap on those premiums every year.

There are serious issues in New York with Governor Hochul's plan to change the healthcare system. The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which allows chronically ill or disabled individuals to hire caregivers, is at risk. Hochul wants to consolidate this $9 billion initiative into one financial program with Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company with no New York healthcare experience. PPL has a history of failed contracts in other states, costing them millions. There are concerns about political favors, particularly with George Grisham's union potentially gaining influence, leading to the unionization of 280,000 caregivers and the shutdown of 600 companies. This deal, already failing in other states, risks costing New York more, burdening families, and harming the economy. Even Democrats are questioning this decision.

There is a "homeless industrial complex" where thousands of people make millions of dollars off the homeless. Fixing homelessness would cause these people and businesses to lose funding. Lobbyists, special interests, and legislators are in a special interest relationship, with kickbacks and free trips, that keeps the problem going. They can't solve homelessness, or they won't be able to launder taxpayer money back into businesses and organizations that are supposed to be helping. The people who own those businesses are not in favor of the speaker becoming governor.

California provides state Medicaid to all illegal migrants and has allegedly created a system to siphon Medicaid dollars. Governor Newsom initially estimated free healthcare for illegal immigrants would cost $6 billion, but it's now $10 billion. This incentivizes illegal immigration. The governor claimed the federal government would reimburse the cost, but it's hitting the general fund, with one in four Medi-Cal dollars going to illegal immigrants. Newsom admitted Medi-Cal is broke and can't pay healthcare providers. Providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants risks health insurance for the neediest. The Medi-Cal system should be audited. It is illegal for federal Medicaid dollars to cover illegal migrants.

Governor Kathy Hochul is under scrutiny for awarding a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, effectively monopolizing a home care Medicaid program (CDPAP) that previously supported 700 local businesses. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process. Evidence includes reports of PPL's preselection prior to bidding and the 1199 SEIU Health Care Workers Union announcement of PPL obtaining the contract two months before submissions were due. Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Governor Hochul on medical policy and Medicaid reform, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. Additionally, Hochul received a $5,000 contribution in 2023 from PPL's VP of Government Relations. The Department of Health reportedly manipulated contract scoring to favor PPL. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation into the scandal.

Two New Yorkers have pled guilty to a $68,000,000 fraud scheme tied to the state’s Medicaid home-care program, CDPAP. The two defendants were described as large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid for services at Brooklyn-based adult daycares that never occurred. The case is part of a broader pattern of fraud targeting CDPAP, which is designed to help people who need care at home rather than in nursing homes by allowing them to hire their own caregiver through Medicaid, including friends or relatives chosen by the patient through the program’s process. News Nation reports that the guilty plea comes as another million-dollar-plus conviction was announced this week, involving fake billing and kickback schemes tied to Medicaid. Attorney John Flynn notes that while CDPAP is intended to ease care for loved ones, it has become a target for sophisticated scammers. The segment places these cases in a historical context of CDPAP-related fraud in New York. In 2018, a man organized payments to friends and family members as home caregivers for his ailing mother, only to discover she wasn’t in the country—living in Bangladesh—and investigators found that his brother impersonated her during home inspections to sustain the fraud. In 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul characterized CDPAP as a “racket” and one of the most abused programs in New York State’s history. News Nation reports that the governor’s office said she has “taken steps to fix the system by cutting out hundreds of middlemen.” The governor’s office also pointed to Letitia James’s actions against related scams as part of ongoing efforts to stop this kind of crime. The governor’s spokesperson cited actions such as busting related transportation-company schemes as examples of reform, while Republicans requested an audit of the CDPAP program, a request described by supporters as a political stunt, with proponents arguing that there are already measures in place. News Nation notes that President Donald Trump recently announced a new division to combat crimes like these, underscoring a broader national focus on Medicaid and CDPAP-related fraud. The segment closes with Lea Lando in New York tracking the evolving investigations and prosecutions tied to these programs.

We've just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making a $59 million FEMA payment for migrant hotels in New York City. This is long overdue. New York City has been wasting billions on free services for illegal immigrants, including criminals. I applaud DHS for stopping these payments. Under the Trump administration, we incentivized sanctuary cities like New York, and it has to stop. Eric Adams spoke out against the Biden administration, saying the migrant crisis was destroying New York City. New York is circumventing federal law, allowing illegal immigrants to get benefits and access taxpayer money. In other news, New York's top court is considering noncitizen voting in NYC elections, which could add 800,000 noncitizen voters. It shouldn't even be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this before, and now the court of appeals, corrupted by Democrats, will hear it.

HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill and HHS Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families Alex Adams discuss concerns about political patronage in Minnesota, alleging that incompetent state officials have allowed taxpayer money to be diverted to politically connected cronies. They claim state officials have been unwilling to confirm the size and scope of fraud, and assert that Governor Walz’s administration is diverting resources from working families to fake day care scams. They emphasize that raising a young family is challenging and that many families rely on state and federal assistance for affordable child care. They state that fraud is not victimless and that every dollar stolen is taken from children and families who need these services. They argue that Washington policies influence how states administer programs and can either prevent or invite fraud. They assert that the Biden-Harris administration adopted Child Care and Development Fund rules that created vulnerabilities, weakening accountability and making fraud easier. Consequently, they say a proposed rule has been released to repeal those Biden-era mandates. The proposed rule is described as having three important elements. First, it ends the requirement that taxpayer dollars must pay for child care before services are provided, so states will no longer be forced to send payments to providers upfront. Second, it ends the enrollment-based billing mandate, allowing payments to be based on verified attendance rather than enrollment alone, so providers cannot bill for children who never show up. Third, it ends the mandate to pre-fund guaranteed seats at childcare centers without competition, thereby restoring parental choice and bringing back market incentives that reward legitimate, high-quality providers. Taken together, the changes are said to ensure that payments reflect real services and real attendance, making it far harder for fraudulent or nonoperational centers to game the system. The speakers claim that Biden administration policies effectively backed up a Brink’s truck and sent the security home across welfare programs, and that in childcare, this ends today.
