The Newsom lies. He blocked 125 billion in frauds.

In case you missed it the California governor claimed that no fed help is needed because he himself blocked 125 billion in fraud. So I asked my leftist AI to confirm and give us proof.

Newsom claims 125 billion fraud wheres the proof?

Short answer: The only “proof” available is that Newsom’s office claims he blocked $125 billion in fraud. Multiple outlets repeat that line, but none provide documentation, audits, breakdowns, or evidence showing where the number comes from. 

The figure is an assertion, not a verified total.Below is the evidence we do have, based strictly on sourced reporting.

🧾 What we can actually verify from the news

✔️ Newsom’s office told ABC7 that he “blocked more than $125 billion in fraud.”

This appears in ABC7 Los Angeles’ reporting:

• ABC7 quotes Newsom’s office saying he has “blocked more than $125 billion in fraud”.

✔️ MSN also repeats the same claim from his office.

• MSN summarizes that Newsom “highlighted his efforts to block $125 billion in fraud”.

✔️ Reuters (via AOL) repeats the same talking point.

• Reuters‑based reporting notes that Newsom’s office said he has “blocked over $125 billion in fraud”.

❌ What we cannot verify

None of the articles provide:

• No audit
• No breakdown (EDD, Medi‑Cal, tax, unemployment, etc.)
• No documentation
• No methodology
• No independent verification

Every source is simply repeating the same statement from Newsom’s communications office.

🔍 So where’s the actual proof?

Right now, there is no public evidence showing:

• How the $125B was calculated
• What programs it came from
• What portion was “prevented” vs. “recovered”
• Whether the number is real, inflated, or double‑counted
• Whether it includes attempted fraud (which agencies often count)

Until California releases:

• A fraud‑prevention report
• An audited breakdown
• A legislative budget analysis
• Inspector General documentation

…the number remains a political claim, not a verified fact.
