🎙️ Welcome back to “What’s New With ME,” where Ali Mehdaoui breaks down the wildest headlines of the week with late-night comedy, satire, and just enough sanity to keep us all grounded.
In this episode, we unpack FOUR massive stories dominating the news cycle:
The Department of Justice announced the largest Medicaid/Medicare fraud bust in U.S. history, charging 324 defendants across 50 federal districts in a scheme involving:
fake medical equipment
fake telehealth appointments
fake genetic testing
bogus prescriptions
$245M seized in cash, crypto & luxury assets
We go deep into what the DOJ, HHS-OIG, and federal partners uncovered — and the real human impact on patients, providers, and taxpayers.
After a shocking D.C. incident, Donald Trump declared that the U.S. will “permanently pause migration from Third World Countries.”
But here’s the reality:
No list of countries
No executive order filed
No legal definition of “Third World”
No actual visa freeze implemented yet
We break down what’s rhetoric, what’s real, and what this means for immigration law, policy, and international relations.
Lawmakers are calling for answers after allegations that Pete Hegseth ordered a maritime strike, followed by a second strike when survivors were seen in the water.
Key points we examine:
legal concerns
potential laws-of-war violations
lack of released evidence
bipartisan calls for an investigation
why human life and transparency matter
This story is still unfolding, and we break down what is confirmed, what remains classified, and why this headline matters.
Convicted of drug trafficking and serving 45 years, Hernández was suddenly granted a full presidential pardon and immediately released.
We look at:
DEA reactions
political motives
Honduran election timing
U.S.–Central America relations
international drug policy implications
Supporters call it justice. Critics call it dangerous. We stay neutral and analyze the facts.
This show takes a balanced, satirical, and empathetic look at the biggest stories shaping 2025 — without bias, without propaganda, and without the echo chamber. Just clarity, comedy, and context.
