Overview of the FBI raid and the alleged fraud totaling around 7 to 8 million dollars tied to a hospice operation.

Asmongold breaks down a high-profile hospice fraud raid, highlighting millions siphoned from taxpayers and the broader system failures fueling these schemes.

Summary

Asmongold digs into a dramatic FBI raid in California where a husband-and-wife team, a psychologist and a nurse, are accused of running a fraudulent hospice that billed Medicare for roughly $7–8 million. He notes the unusually low hospice death-rate statistic (2.8%) and flags red flags like admitting non-terminal patients and questionable documents. The discussion expands to a broader critique of healthcare fraud, with updates from California news coverage about similar takedowns and the White House fraud task force targeting hospice programs. Asmongold emphasizes how such fraud undermines vulnerable patients and taxpayers, and he calls for aggressive enforcement, asset seizure, and going after accomplices and family members involved. The conversation blends outrage with political frustration, including sharp commentary on governance, enforcement priorities, and the role of immigration in these schemes. Throughout, he weaves in personal hardship stories and broader social critique, arguing for tougher deterrents like “going scorched earth” on fraudsters. The video blends现场 reporting style clips with opinion-driven analysis and calls for systemic reform.

Full Transcript
The FBI's raided the home of psychologist and nurse for an alleged hospice fraud scheme. According to CBS, was arrested for allegedly fraudulently billing Medicare for 7.45 million. A hospice with a survival rate of over 97%. Don't most people in hospicees die? What the [ __ ] Anything to say? That's the point. Yeah. All right. So, I'm on the scene of a FBI raid home owned by a husband and wife, psychologist, and a nurse who the FBI says ran a fraudulent hospice for years, racking up over $7 million in fraudulent. What a piece of [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you can get a sense, but Oh, look at that house. Whoa. Hold up. Look at this house. Look at that. This guy's living in a m Look at that's a giant [ __ ] mansion. I don't know if you can get a sense, but Oh my god. With a gate. In a very, very nice part of town. Yeah. We're in the city of Sandus in a very hilly area. Our homes are millions of dollars. Millions. millions of dollars essentially hidden behind the scenery here. This is crazy exclusive area. Mhm. You wonder where the money from hospice fraud goes. Yeah. Some of it goes to uh funding a certain certain lifestyle. See one see one arrest FBI. As one person a man in custody. Uh this is uh the alleged this is the owner of an alleged fraudulent process. This would probably be a bad boy. I see I see further back a woman being escorted as well. I see two people. I see a few people being escorted actually. I think I've seen maybe four. Five. See, they need to uh what they should do is that if they stole S, they should just take all their money. Take all their money, take their house, put them in jail. Like that's what we need to do cuz like sometimes these people hold on to their assets and so the cost like basically it's like you go to prison to get $7 million and you go there for like a year, year and a half, two years. And like that's a pretty good deal really when you think about it's a pretty good deal. $7 million for one year of being in jail. Like I think most people would take that deal. I mean, especially cuz like they're the jail that they're in isn't like a violent aggressive, you know, maximum security, you know, you have to [ __ ] uh kill people in order to get into a gang jail. Like, that's it. It's It's like a [ __ ] minimum security prison. Anyway, we're seeing a number of people being escorted out. Yeah. hotel. Not entirely clear who's who, but we do know that two of the targets included a husband and wife team, a husband, a psychologist and wife nurse. They save on a fraudulent hospice for many years. That's right. The FBI says that his hospice racked up over $7 million in Well, I can tell you for a fact they did. Look at that house. That house is gigantic payments and they have a death rate of 2.8% which is extraordinarily low by any metrics that the state or the federal government have. Uh those are telltale signs of a fragile. I mean this guy's a real one. He was the same one that did the other uh uh the other video about this stuff. This is part of a larger operation today. Uh the FBI has a number of cases and a number of arrests across LA. Very a lot of background noise. I know. Sorry. This and where we are right now is about an hour uh or so away from the cluster the cluster of hospices including the one um from Nick Shirley husband and wife owned. Man that is insane. So you have somebody defendants arrested this morning were charged with stealing millions of dollars healthcarees got caught and now face years in federal prison. Yeah. I mean, they need to go as hard as they possibly can on these people and then figure out who else was involved. I mean, you know what's crazy is that if Nick Shirley had never made that video, there's a good chance that a lot of these people could still be doing this right now, which is I think what's so insane about it. It's that the people that are doing this, there's never even uh like it was just getting ignored. And uh yeah, I'm I'm at a I'm a disabled combat vet. I can barely afford an apartment. It's pathetic. Well, you you need to you need to go out and die for your country so migrants can come into the country and scam the government, right? And then have other migrants and other people that feel a racial solidarity to them that enable the scams for some sort of of an ethnic reason. I think that's what's happening and uh it's pretty obvious. That's why it seems like overwhelmingly the people that are doing this type of fraud, this type of government, low-level fraud, are I would say from migrant communities or from immigrant communities. I think the reason why is actually really simple. It's because they try to stick together. They try to, you know, like benefit each other. That's it. And all migrants. Yeah. And are we actually doing something about it or just pointing it out and then say look at another one then doing nothing? I mean, this is literally a FBI raid and the person's getting pulled out and arrested right now. So, yeah, I think that's pretty bad. And uh I don't know really what else you can say besides that. How bad is the fraud in California? The Medic Medicaid program budget has more than doubled uh by 140 114 billion while enrollment has only gone up by.7% over the last four years. So it went up double and it it didn't even the amount of people on it didn't even go up by 1%. That is crazy. Oh, this is about the healthc care fraud. Thank god. Okay, here we go. William Lines has more from Coina, California. That's just east of LA. Um, you've been on this story for a while. What happened? Uh, good morning, Dana. Yeah, this is the first takedown for the new White House fraud task force. Uh, they arrested two owners of two hospices here in greater Los Angeles. They're accused of collectively stealing about $16 million from taxpayers. And this money was intended, right, for compassionate end of life care for the terminally ill. Here's some video we shot earlier today of the FBI making those arrests of a husband and wife. He a doctor, she a nurse, co-owners of the St. Francis Pallet of Care Hospice in Glendale. It's really sad to see that like uh you know my dad was on hospice care and they still send me letters and [ __ ] They're like, "Oh yeah, we want to remind you that we're still thinking of your father and everything." And that's like it's quite nice. So to think that people are taking advantage of that and trying to misappropriate it so they can live in mansions and stuff, it's just the pinnacle of evil. It really is. It's awful. Has anybody put the How's anybody put up with this [ __ ] It's ridiculous. And what they were doing was this. Admitting people who are not qualified for hospice, but build the government as if they were about $30,000 per patient. And when the benefits ran out, they dropped them. Here's the kicker. Nationally 80% of adults admitted or people admitted to hospice die and usually in the first few weeks here 80% die. Yeah, it's I'm surprised it's not higher. Almost nobody died after 8 months. 97% maybe they were just such a good hospice left alive. 97% of them alive. They've been bilking the taxpayers for over $7 million, close to $8 million. And it's total all total fraudulent hospice services. They were signing up people who are not terminally terminally ill. uh they were forging the documents the medical see they have to go way harder like that's why I said we need an attorney general that likes the idea of going after people like this they do like cuz that that's a big issue that I have is that a lot of people um you know they don't look at it and they don't take it seriously enough like you have to go after the people that were signing into these documents you have to go into their family members you have to go into uh you know the people that were involved D around this and you have to just like you have to absolutely like the the the goal of the enforcement of this should be to make it so scary for something like this to happen to you to be investigated that people are afraid to make a mistake. That's what they should do. Ruin them. Yes. Exactly. Like go absolutely scorched earth on these people. That's what I would say for the love of the game. Yeah. We need to have an attorney general that wants to bring back crucifixions and their biggest inhibitor is the eth amendment. That that's what we need records and they were collecting taxpayer dollars and uh they've been charged and this morning they were arrested. Here's another arrest uh down in Tangga Hospice and here they were paying kickbacks to the patients giving them $600 a month in an envelope. See, you remember what I told you guys? I told y'all this is what was happening. I told you for a [ __ ] fact this is what was happening. And that's exactly it. They are all in on it. See, and again, who knew about this, right? Because now they're accompllices. Now you need to go after each of these patient families. Bring up every single one of them as an accomplice on charges and put them in jail, too. Seize their assets. Do everything. Go as hard as you possibly can. Follow the money. Yes. Exactly. Newsome allowed this. Of course he did. Absolutely. That's because they were getting reimbursed from the feds about $6,000 a month. Now, they were also paying marketers to find seniors and take their Medicare card. They built the government for about $8 million, not eligible, and they were not terminally ill. Yep. The name of this endeavor is, you know, Project Never Say Die because the folks who are in the nursing in the uh hospice facilities owned by this couple and their family don't seem to ever pass away. So, the feds are here for a reason. California is giving out thousands of loss of hospice licenses that people are unqualified, no oversight, and of course, taxpayers been paying for it ever. To be fair, they may not have not known if it was going on if there were x degrees of freedom away from operations. When you're paying a hospice to put your parent into or like you know some person or yourself into a care and then they're giving you money back, you know what's going on. You know what's going on. Everybody knows that. We all know this. This is the big issue is that you have some people that want to play this dishonest game. We all know what's happening. Everybody knows what's happening. So no, you're not going to play stupid. And if you are going to play stupid, we're going to drag you through every legal process possible. And by the end of it, you're going to need to be in a hospice. That's the way I see it. That's what I want to do. I hate them, bro. I hate them. These people are parasites. I want to see it get worse. And uh we can only hope. Yeah, exactly. Do you think they go to California if they didn't post that video? Maybe. I don't know. And uh yeah, the big issue is Democrats are dirty and playing cover up for all the illegal [ __ ] they've done. Well, to be fair, this is a uh I mean it I think it's overwhelmingly leftists that are taking advantage of this because they're the ones that are bringing in the people that do these scams and then they overlook the scams. I do think it's overwhelmingly them, but it's not exclusively them. Uh this is a nonpartisan issue. This is if you're scamming and you're doing this, you need to go to jail and you need to have all your stuff uh seized, right? That's what I think needs to happen. And uh send them to Iran. Please public execution. Would I want to do public executions for some of the ones that stole a lot of money? If you stole over like let's say $10 Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh my god. $10 million. Three million. Yeah. 10 years for each million. I don't know. And so like that's it. It's a human's life worth of money. It is. And so yeah. And honestly, if we did that, if we if we brought back public executions, I bet you'd see a lot of this stuff happening less. I would especially if you get creative with them, right? And uh that's what I think we should do. I think that we need to get more comfortable with that reality. We have too many people that are too pacified by uh you know modern society and I think that in doing so they've allowed themselves to become victims of uh of of ancient evils and I think we need to stop it. We need to shut it down. Firing squad Idaho for the pedophiles. Uh I don't know about firing squad. I think that um again like I think firing squads are too humane. You know like that's really the way I feel especially for somebody that's like a pedophile. I think that you could come up with something that's a lot better than that. What is this? Very eye just got banned on Twitch. Or is there Is this recent? Like, let me see. I pull this up. Yeah, I don't know if this is recent or not. Did she get banned? It looks like No, I mean, I'm not seeing anything about this maybe, but I I certainly don't know where it is. Who the [ __ ] knows? So, uh, I just give public institution idea the Tarantino. I like that. And fraudsters get crushed by the wild of pennies. Uh, the amount they get defrauded. I like the sound of that. That's a good idea. So, uh, thirst trap content debate our viewers. Goon baiting. Oh my god. And, uh, not a surprise. So, are these these the same clowns that they call? Is this this? Yeah, this is the same one. No, I'm very glad to see this happen. I am. And, uh, hopefully, obviously, what is this? But Buckingham Powers confirms King Charles will not issue an Easter message this year. Why? Wait, wait, why? Like, I I don't even get it. Like, h how would this even happen? It's insane. God damn. Oh, is it? This is another one. All right, let's watch it. We believe half of them are fraudulent. Half of the 1800 processes should not be in business if we are able to identify the red flags. They believe half of them are fraudulent. Half of the 1,800 It's way more than half. If I were to guess on how many are fraudulent, I would guess between 70 and 80%. I would say it's somewhere between those two numbers. 70 to 80%. Cocked by Islam. I think that's what's happened to should not be in business if we are able to identify the red flags. And that's what we're basing these numbers on. These are not random assumptions. World experts at CMS say if you've got 100% or near survival, certainly if you got a survival over 50% for a population that's supposed to have passed in 6 months, you got a problem. If you're clustered in the same buildings as other crooks, if you're sharing employee numbers and license numbers, if you've got a small number of people less than 50 members, do that because you can hide what's really going on when they're small because you don't have reporting obligations. J. Yeah. It's like a family scam. It's like a family scam with like two or three or maybe just one family that's in on it. And that's the reason why they go under the radar. Visa holders, there are lots of things going on in California that just are not rational and we're going to take them out. Well, they are that you heard about that. They want to fund the entire they want to fund the entire like there are so many migrants here and like immigrants here that are [ __ ] useless. They're totally [ __ ] useless. There's not going to be a job, a way, a resource that you're going to be able to get out of them. They are totally [ __ ] useless. And so why is it that they're even here? Well, they're here because they're being paid to be here. Parasites. They are parasites. They're total parasites. And if it was up to me, I'd remove every single one of them. Even the citizens. I get rid of every single one. A denaturalize and deport. If you came into the country in the last like 10, 20 years and you've been living off of welfare, it's time for you to go. And honestly, you should be saying, "Thank you for doing it for so long." You should be saying, "Thank you for ignoring me and letting me take advantage of this when I never should have had this happen." You have useless Americans, too. Yeah, that's true. We do. And that's the reason why we need to get rid of all the useless foreigners is because we have to focus all of our efforts on taking care of our useless Americans. So we don't have the money left over to take care of the useless foreigners. You're right. I want to pat him on the back. The entire first four years of really looking at this issue since 2021 when the report came out from the auditor general here in California. The entire first four years there were four hospices. Yeah. That were revoked. Four hospices. That's it. Seven of them were you know criminal charges today. So you see a dramatic and and appropriate shift. There are other people involved that the US attorney is going after. Briba Javarian probably read about last night was revoking had her billing privileges revoked by CMS uh yesterday. She had generated $127 million of billing and for some reason although $127 million knew that there was a problem there. her 113 agencies that she worked with, 113 agencies, one doctor is working with had built over the last three years $127 million. CMS is going to suspend payments to stop money from leaving the US. That's our goal. We're going to review every single hospice in California to make sure that they're all appropriate and we hope to do that expeditiously. We'll do it this year. And I'm going to make an announcement today because I'm going to throw the gauntlet down for Governor Nome. when asked about the hospice fraud in California that again was in his own administration was involved uh in barking how bad an issue it was in 2021 he responds by saying that he's been responsible for taking out you know 280 of these in the 10 weeks since we first were together in front of you in the 10 weeks we have taken out 221 hospices already so in like a couple weeks they were able to do the same amount that he's done in 5 years h 221 We will surpass the governor's achievements in the first four years within the month, we believe. Wow. And so, we need to get serious. And we It's almost like they didn't give a [ __ ] about it. See, this is what I was talking about about managed decline. They they throw people a bone where they say, "Oh, no. We're going after them. We're doing it. See, look, we got one." And there's like 50 other ones that they didn't get. Don't see that happening in California. The ecosystem is rotten. We've uncovered lots of other derivatives that happen. when you don't take care of this fraud that Thank you, bro. Like, that's it. That's what I want to hear. Maybe this guy actually knows what's going on because he said two things that were insanely insightful and it makes me think that they actually have somebody competent involved with this. The ecosystem is rotten and he's talking about derivatives. This is a web. It is a web of fraud. It's not one isolated incident. They're all connected. The way it needs to be done. And I'll give you a good example. Your neighbors in Nevada are suffering because the frauders here are now going there. And they have a sevenfold increase in hospice because when people get a little uh chilled in California, they head there. So how are we going to do this? And all the government approaches. You've heard if you're defrauding Medicare, listen carefully. If you're defrauding Medicare, start running because we are coming for you. Don't walk. Run away. The folks are on stage here and all over the country, leadership of President Trump and Vice President uh uh Vance and his task force are not going to tolerate it. None of us can afford the luxury of being sloppy about this. Jesus, bro. This is what I want to hear. This is exactly what I want to hear. Just stop. They're not going to No, it's not enough for them to stop. You have to make an example out of them. And uh you have to do that. I'm very happy to see this. This is great. It's [ __ ] amazing. Hopefully, that's the way things go, right? I mean, I I I think obviously that's where things should go. Did you forget Vance's name? It doesn't matter. Like, I mean, obviously like what he's saying is true. I'm glad you didn't when Senator Federman turned out okay and he's cooking as a health department. Yeah, true, actually. Yeah, you're right about that. And uh yeah, new post from Pandi 28 minutes ago. Is that true? And oh, here we go. There are 536 nonprofits or NOS's in California labeled as homelessness prevention or homeless assistance. They employ over 12,000 people. They handle $2 billion per year. Under Newsome, homelessness has increased by 35,000 people. So, let me get this straight. They've they've spent $2 billion fighting homelessness and it's gone up by 35,000 people. I read somewhere that New York City spends more money on homeless people than the average income in New York City per person. And it's like at a certain point, I mean, you you we need to we need to bring somebody into the government that is an absolute psycho. We need to bring somebody in that sleeps for like 3 hours a night and then wakes up and then thinks about deporting people and putting them in jail and publicly executing them. We need that. We need this yesterday. And that's it, man.
