·40 min·2 clips

A San Diego daycare with 14 enrolled children has zero children present when the state checks.

1. The Breitbart News Daily Podcast episode focuses on Nick Shirley's California fraud videos and a Senate fight over the SAVE Act. 2. Host Mike Slater and Breitbart News White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson frame Shirley, Joe Kent, and Will Scharf as the names that matter in the hour. 3. The episode asks whether fraud in federally funded programs is being enforced at the local level or ignored higher up the chain. 4. Gilbertson describes an executive order that creates a task force to root out fraud in federally funded programs and says it could recover "billions or tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions" of dollars. 5. He then turns to Medi-Cal, saying California's program rose from $108 billion five years ago to $228 billion. 6. Gilbertson says Los Angeles County saw a 1,000% increase in hospice care services and that one out of every $10 in U.S. home health care is spent in Los Angeles County. 7. Shirley's San Diego footage shows a daycare in a shopping plaza with boarded-up storefronts, graffiti, a dumpster, and a homeless man sleeping nearby. 8. The state visit he cites listed 39 enrolled children, while the crew could see about five children at the site. 9. The episode also describes the backup facility, UMI Learning Center, as having been convicted in federal court in 2024 of having 150 ghost kids. 10. A second daycare, Hayden Sarah Family Child Care, is presented as having 14 enrolled children and zero present when inspectors arrived. 11. Gilbertson highlights missing children's records and a missing facility roster at that San Diego home daycare. 12. He repeatedly asks, "Where are the children at?" while an owner pushes back and threatens to call 911. 13. He argues that the core problem is CalWorks money continuing to flow after state visits confirm there are no children there. 14. Gilbertson compares the higher-level inaction to the Rotherham abuse scandal in England, where police and officials knew but failed to act. 15. He says the most troubling possibility is either corruption at the top or fear of being called racist for shutting the daycares down. 16. The conversation also includes a converted old motel in Los Angeles with hospice and home health offices and a BMW M8 passing by, which Gilbertson calls "the sound of hospice money." 17. Later, Gilbertson joins the show from the White House and speaks in a quick, conversational interview style with Slater. 18. The back-and-forth stays loose and immediate, with Slater joking about being a White House announcer while Gilbertson explains his role. 19. People interested in California fraud probes, the SAVE Act, and White House politics would get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a calm, policy-only discussion with no street-level confrontation may want to skip it.
