We dive deep into: The $250 million hospice fraud investigation and the conflict of interest involving AG Rob Bonta’s office. The personal security risks of being a "fraud hunter". Nick’s recent private meeting with Elon Musk and why X is the front line for truth. The latest on Ilhan Omar’s shrinking net worth and missing LLCs. Nick is risking it all to show us where our tax dollars are actually going. From $15k security bills to being called a 'psycho' by legislators, the pressure to stop him is real.
