California “Fraud Capital” Under Newsom? Auditor Flags $100B Risk.

On Stinchfield Tonight, Grant Stinchfield delivers a blistering breakdown of what he calls the “Fraud Wars” — as blue-state leadership in California and Minnesota leaves taxpayers on the hook for tens of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse. First, Stinchfield reveals a bombshell California state auditor report identifying eight high-risk agencies and nearly $70–$100 billion in potential fraud exposure under Governor Gavin Newsom. With billions wasted on homelessness programs, unemployment fraud, a failed 911 system, and an $18 billion high-speed rail project with almost no track laid, critics warn California may be the true fraud capital of America. Then the focus shifts to Minnesota, where independent journalist Nick Shirley exposes empty daycare centers, blacked-out windows, locked doors — and millions in taxpayer funding allegedly flowing anyway. As Governor Tim Walz asks for more authority after years in office, critics accuse Democrats of covering up fraud using identity politics and dismissing scrutiny as “racist.” Joining Stinchfield, Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute warns this model of one-party rule, fraud tolerance, and media silence may be the blueprint Democrats export nationwide.
