## Resource

Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit expose the scale of fraud, corruption, and political dysfunction in California. Essayli explains how billions of taxpayer dollars have been lost through unemployment scams, healthcare fraud, and government programs with little oversight and why the system is designed to spend money, not protect it. They also examine illegal immigration, cartel influence, rising crime, and what it will take to fix a state many believe is beyond repair.
