Nick Shirley’s Video Alleging California Hospice and Daycare Fraud Draws Rebuke From Newsom’s Press Office

The release follows recent mainstream reporting that detailed systemic red flags in Los Angeles hospices.

Overview

Shirley posted a 40-minute video on X claiming his team uncovered more than $170 million in fraud involving California hospice and daycare programs.
The footage features site visits, on-camera confrontations where interviews were declined, and shots of luxury vehicles parked outside locations he labels suspicious.
The Governor’s press office responded on X with a mocking post about Shirley on Tuesday, drawing additional attention to the video.
WSBT reports the video had roughly 4.3 million views by Tuesday as conservative outlets circulated clips and commentary.
Recent CBS reporting outlined common hospice fraud tactics and flagged significant clustering and licensing concerns in Los Angeles without addressing Shirley’s specific dollar figure.
