Speaker 0: House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has been investigating the Biden family business dealings for more than 2 years. The probe launched the impeachment inquiry of Biden back in September of last year, and it is now entering its final phases. The house oversight committee wants Biden to testify, but he is refusing. Back in March, Comer sent this letter to Biden. Quote, the committee has accounted for over $24,000,000 that has flowed from foreign sources to you, your family, and their business associates.
The committee has identified no legitimate services to merit such lucrative payments. You have repeatedly denied playing any, playing any role in your family's business activities, but the committee has amassed evidence, including bank records and witness testimony that wholly contradicts your position on these matters. The committee has identified and successfully traced money from foreign transactions, including from China, straight to your bank account. Certain checks have been described as loan repayments. However, the person who provided you free bookkeeping during your time as vice president did not remember any evidence of a loan from your accounts.

Joining me now is the man himself, leading this investigation, Kentucky congressman and chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. Mister chairman, thanks so much for joining us this morning.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Maria.
Speaker 0: Where does this investigation stand?
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, we're in the final stages. Today, this morning, I issued a subpoena, for targeted financial information from a certain financial institution related to Jim Biden, Sarah Biden, and Hunter Biden. This is a result of, many of the documents that Devin Archer turned over. Remember, he we subpoenaed and he turned over 3,700,000 document documents that never before been seen by any of the IRS investigators, the Securities and Exchange investigators, or any of the different, groups that have been investigating the Bidens for, years years years. And we've been able to, connect some dots.
We believe, that will finally, answer pretty much every question we've had about the source of this these shady transactions that went into the Biden family members and what role exactly Joe Biden played in that role in in his family's shady business dealings.
Speaker 0: So you've sent out the subpoena this morning to a major bank?
Speaker 1: Yes. That is correct.
Speaker 0: And what specifically do you wanna know from this bank in terms of these documents that you're looking for to connect those dots?
Speaker 1: We believe we found new accounts. And remember, the number of bank accounts that we've discovered, over the past year and a half since I've had subpoena power, since the Republicans flipped the house, is is unbelievable. I mean, I don't think, you would find very many people that have a $1,000,000,000 net worth that have as many different bank accounts as this Biden family had. Many of these were shell companies as you and I have discussed, Maria. Companies that sole purpose was to launder the money that the Bidens were receiving from China, from Romania, from Russia.
And and never one time through the course of this entire investigation, even during the depositions with, Hunter Biden and the transcribed interview with Jim Biden, were they able to answer exactly what the family did to receive this money? So we believe we found some more accounts that will answer some more questions and hopefully, we can prepare to close this investigation and present our findings to the American people.
Speaker 0: How many bank accounts are associated with Joe Biden?
Speaker 1: With Joe Biden, well, that's been that's been a harder nut to crack there. We found some accounts. We found some different, expenses and things like that that that, you know, that that coincided with some of the, Hunter Biden LLCs and shell companies and things like that. But at the end of the day, the the Biden family were the ones that were, taking the initial wires and laundering them through. We found 2 specific checks that went from the, Biden family input peddling to Joe Biden personally, one for 200 $1,000 and one for $40,000.
So we've identified a quarter of a $1,000,000 in direct payment that Joe Biden received from his family's, shady influence peddling teams. As far as the the son and the brother and and the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law and all that, You you you're talking about dozens of accounts, dozens of LLCs, and, no answer yet as to what they did to receive this money. I mean, it's it's just I think, Maria, the biggest public corruption scandal in our lifetimes and the fact that, so many in the mainstream media don't wanna write about this. And remember, Tony Bobolinski testified in our last hearing Yeah. That, what the money was from China was a bribe from the government of China to the Biden family, that there was no legitimate business there.
So I think we found a lot of information. Hopefully, this subpoena will be, some of the last bits of information that we have to have to be able to finalize this report Yeah. To the American people.
Speaker 0: I have the Tony Bobolinski transcript in front of me. It is, really damning. But look, you made a couple of comments this morning. You said money laundering. You said bribery.
You said influence peddling. Obviously, mister chairman, these are very, very serious charges, and the White House is denying it. How will you prove it?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we're gonna present the American people with a report, hopefully very soon. And, there are gonna be a footnotes in this report. There's a lot of hard evidence, bank statements, emails, sworn testimony. And remember, Maria, I have given both, the president and the president's son an opportunity to come in front of congress and come in front of the house oversight committee and explain themselves.
They know exactly what we want. And with respect to Joe Biden, I understand he probably wouldn't wanna go in front of the house oversight committee. We sent him a letter with specific questions to give him an opportunity to answer these questions. He has refused to do so. Merrick Garland has obstructed our investigation time and time again.
That's why today, later today, we plan along with the house judiciary committee to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of congress. I mean, we're serious about trying to hold this administration and this family accountable for wrongdoing.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I, I've got the letter in front of me, and you ask questions like, have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Jonathan Lai of Bauhai Industrial Fund or Bohai Harvest Rosemont? Have you met or spoken to or otherwise interacted with Yi, Jianming of CEFC? I I assume you know the answers to these questions.
Speaker 1: We know the answer because we've, had interviews and depositions with, many witnesses. So when you have many witnesses. So when you have witness testimony, when you have emails, when you have photographs that were found on the laptop, you know, the evidence is overwhelming that Joe Biden was involved. And as 3 different Biden associates have testified, Joe Biden was a central figure in the Biden family influence peddling scheme. He knew full well what his family was doing, and some have even suggested that he was the closer that he would go in, when when either Jim Biden or Hunter Biden had made their pitch as to why they needed to invest in the Biden brand.
That Joe Biden would then appear, shake hands, have a conversation, have dinner, just so the people that were paying the Biden's would know Joe knew exactly what was going on. If you were paying the Biden family for the Biden brand, you were buying Joe Biden. And Joe Biden wanted to make sure all the shady people who sent the the the shady wire transfers through all the LLCs to the Biden family. They wanted to know that Joe Biden was front and center, and I think that, the evidence will prove that.
Speaker 0: Again, very, very serious charges, about the commander in chief, particularly now when we are in, 2 wars around the world, and, we're wondering if in fact we should be seeing different policy with regard to communist China. Have you heard back from White House on any of this? Have you heard back from this this letter was dated March 28, 2024. Have you heard back in any answer for any of this?
Speaker 1: No. We have not heard back from anything. In fact, the the information that we've requested from the Department of Justice, from National Archives, complete obstruction.
Speaker 0: Mister chairman, I wanna ask you about the other investigation that is underway. You're investigating the White House's so called push to boost voter registration. Earlier this week, attorney general Merrick Garland said that his election threats task force has accelerated its work. And we know that Merrick Garland said that he vows to fight voter ID. Specifically, what are you investigating with regard to voters and this upcoming election?
Speaker 1: Well, one of the things we're doing is we're trying to follow the money much like we've done in the Biden family investigation. We're trying to identify bank accounts that we can subpoena to see who's paying for, many of these campus protests, voter registration drives, things to influence the the election. We know that, the the White House, the Department of Justice, the FBI, they're doing everything they can to try to come up with some kind Russian collusion. You know, Maria, they've been on that for a long time. But we know that there are millions and millions of Americans that have crossed our southern border illegally.
We believe that, one of the reasons for this is the democrats hope to get some of these many of these voters, in fact, in in some of these swing states registered to vote in time to have an impact on the presidential race. So we're, closely identifying the voter roles in certain states. We're trying to follow the money to see who's paying for for many of these, political activities that would involve, illegal voters, and we're gonna do everything we can to ensure that, we have a safe and fair election this fall.

@WallStreetApes Senator Kennedy on what DOGE found USAID spent money on. https://t.co/LDOtKolmyy
Video Transcript AI Summary
USAID, with 10,000 employees and a $40 billion annual budget, has drawn scrutiny for its spending. Investigations revealed funding for electric vehicles in Vietnam, a transgender clinic in India, and $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group for diversity initiatives. A Middle East Forum study showed $164 million spent on radical organizations globally, including $122 million to groups linked to terrorist organizations. Millions were also directed to Hamas-controlled organizations in Gaza, groups calling for the removal of Jews, and projects in Guatemala for sex changes. Other questionable expenditures include funding for a Sesame Street show in Iraq, combating misinformation in Kazakhstan, and providing meals to a group linked to Al-Qaeda. Additional examples include funding LGBT advocacy in Jamaica and projects in Cuba, Belarus, and Macedonia. These findings raise concerns about how taxpayer money is allocated.

Speaker 0: He found that the USAID has 10,000 people. 10,000 people, employees. And every year, they give away $40,000,000,000. Mister Musk, also found and I'm not saying that that all of this money is wasteful. I'm not.
Some of this money, I'm sure, does some good. That's why secretary Rubio is gonna revamp the the the department to separate the good from the bad. But this is the kind of stuff Mr. Musk found. He he found that the USAID, gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam.
Our money, taxpayer money. He found that, USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn't know that. I bet the American people didn't know that. He found that, USAID gave $1,500,000 to a Serbian LB LGBTQ group called Grupa.
I probably mispronounced that. My apologies. Anyway, they got $1,500,000 to quote, advance diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business community. What else did mister Musk found that my colleagues don't wanna talk about? Well, he he reviewed a study and then went and checked it.
The study was done by the Middle East Forum. They found that USAID spent $164,000,000 to support radical organizations about around the world. We're not talking cub scout troops here. We're talking about radical organizations around the world. They gave a hundred and $22,000,000 of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations.
Our taxpayer money. According to this report in mister Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to, quote, organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas. Why why why aren't my colleagues talking about that? Recipients of the money they found have, quote, called for their lands to be cleansed from the impurity of Jews. That's what we're getting with foreign aid too.
What else? I'm not gonna spend my whole time talking about this, but nobody else is talking about it. They're just talking about the process and mister Musk, and he's a mean guy, and he shouldn't be looking at our spending. Well, he is. And I kinda find that I kinda find what he's found out interesting.
He found that we gave $2,000,000, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala. He found that we gave $20,000,000 to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. He found that we, we gave $4,500,000 of taxpayer money to combat miss disinformation in Kazakhstan. He found that we gave $10,000,000, USAID did, of meals to an Al Qaeda linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front. Mister Musk found that we gave $7,900,000 of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language.
We took the USAID took $8,000,000 and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language. I don't know what the hell binary gendered language is. I think I do. You think most taxpayers would support that? Why are we talking about that?
The USAID gave $1,500,000 to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica. They gave $1,500,000 to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem. They gave $1,500,000 for, quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus. Another $3,900,000 for LGBT causes in Macedonia.

I uncovered a significant issue involving Stacey Abrams and a nonprofit called "Power Forward Communities." It received a staggering $2 billion grant despite being only a few months old and having just $100 in its account. The organization has connections to Abrams, who has ties to other nonprofits listed on their website. Additionally, she serves as senior counsel for Rewiring America, which is part of a coalition that includes Power Forward Communities. This raises serious questions about the allocation of taxpayer dollars.

DOGE Finds $2 Billion in Taxpayer Funds Earmarked for Stacey Abrams-Linked Group
DOGE found $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams. The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant's dollar figure—it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.

I have never denied the outcome of the election, and I want to make it clear that we won. While I may not have gotten the job, I did get the votes, although the exact number is uncertain due to cheating.
I believe we were robbed of the election, and when I say "rigged" or "stolen," I have evidence to back it up. I'm not saying they stole it from me, but from the voters of Georgia.
In the ten days following the election, before what we call my "non-concession day," I made it clear that I will never concede because it was not a free and fair election. Thousands of Georgians were unable to cast ballots, effectively having their voices stolen. We must ensure this never happens again, and that all votes are counted in future elections.

The popup NGO shell company issue is escalating and may become a significant story. It appears these entities were created to exploit taxpayer-funded programs, with the Climate United Fund being a prime example. Launched just months before receiving a massive $7 billion, it shows troubling financial practices, including high legal fees and vague spending plans. Ties to prominent Democratic figures raise further concerns. Trump's EPA Administrator is now investigating this fund, highlighting the need for financial scrutiny of these organizations and their connections to federal programs.

This popup NGO shell company story is only going to get bigger. It may end up becoming the story.

This is Program Laundering. And it looks like Obama's fingerprints are all over it. Hopefully @elonmusk & @DOGE are looking into this. @AGPamBondi as well.

This is disturbing – Biden and Obama Democrats created a new beast, the “popup nonprofit shell” they suddenly launch to take in your taxpayer money supposedly for things like climate change and illegal immigration. Major front for taxpayer abuse with accusations of grift growing by the hour. Never saw it like this in decades covering IRS/taxes. Check out the tax returns for one of these popup NGO shells, the Climate United Fund which got the biggest nonprofit grant in history out of Biden’s massive climate slush funds. Kamala Harris and Biden’s EPA chief Michael Regan gave $7 billion total to the suddenly created Climate United Fund in April 2024 after it launched just five months earlier in November 30, 2022 when Its tax returns show it started with a tiny $547K in revs. But it spent a massive $451K of that $547k in just two months in 2023, a quarter of that on legal fees and the majority $323K mysteriously blown on no one knows what because its tax returns don’t say. It has no stipulated plans for how it will spend your $7B in tax $$, just ephemeral solar projects in Idaho, Arkansas, and Oregon that amount to only about $50M total, a fraction of the $7B. It also gave money out of that $7b to Power Forward Communities linked to Stacey Abrams. It has little to no details on how much its officers get paid that you typically see on NGO 990s, in fact virtually no details, red flags that it’s a shell. It supposedly is a partnership betw Dem insiders at investment firm Calvert Impact Capital, Community Preservation Corp. and a group called “Self-Help” (irony noted). Beth Bafford is its CEO, a former “special assistant” in Obama’s OMB and a regional field director for the Obama Campaign. As we tweeted about a month ago, it has ties to Democratic Party of California chairman and California State Treasurer Phil Angelides, Obama’s Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, United Farm Workers of America co-founder Dolores Huerta and Patrice Willoughby of the Congressional Black Caucus. Judge Glock, the Director of Research and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted on X that the Climate United Fund got your $7B ater submitting a small 49-page report.

This is a green slush fund. The Biden administration parked $20 billion in an outside bank, giving it to eight NGOs, many created just to get this money. The EPA entered into an agreement with these entities, designed to tie the government's hands, so we don't know where the money is going.
Only about 5% actually goes towards the environment. One CEO, serving on the White House Environmental Justice Council, received $20 million. Account control agreements were amended to reduce EPA oversight. The Justice Department and FBI are working with us, and we must ensure accountability. There should be zero tolerance for wasted money.

Speaker 0: Lee Zeldin, Trump's EPA administrator. Is this a kickback? Is it theft? Is it graft? What would you call it?
Speaker 1: All of the above. It's a green slush fund. $20,000,000,000 parked in outside bank towards the end of the Biden administration given to just eight NGOs. You just named a bunch of them. These NGOs were created for the first time, many of them just to get this money, and they're pass throughs.
And so the EPA entered into this account control agreement with these entities. Treasury enters into a financial agent agreement with the bank, and they design it to tie the EPA's hands behind their back, to tie the federal government's hands behind its back. So when the money goes through the NGOs to subgrantees, many of them also pass throughs. We don't know where it's going. We don't have the proper amount of of oversight.
And as you pointed out, it's going to people who are in the Obama and Biden administrations. It's going to donors. It's not going directly. As you pointed out, thankfully, you did, it's not going directly to remediate that environmental issue to deliver clean air, land, and water. It's billions, tens of billions of dollars going through their friends.
Speaker 0: Well, they're gonna say they didn't steal it. They're just gonna say they got paid salaries, and then they donated it to some other subcontractor who got paid salaries, and it eventually went to some kid to pick up litter. Right? Because, like, at the end of this, what's it like, 5% of this money actually goes towards the environment? How much actually goes towards the environment after it's been just stripped out for salaries?
Speaker 1: Right. And stripped out for salaries of middleman after middleman going through these multiple added layers. I'll give you an example. On the other end of this, there was one CEO who was serving on the White House Environmental Justice Council for the Biden administration. While she was serving on this council, she was CEO of an organization that applied for and received $20,000,000.
So some people were able to, with the right connections, be on the the receiving end of billions of dollars. Others on the other end of this getting tens of millions of dollars and the federal government not having oversight. And, you know, I just mentioned the account control agreements that were entered into EPA and these prime recipients. They were amending the account control agreements right up to the inauguration. Oh, They were amended account control agreements we found January 13.
Speaker 0: So they were scrambling before you guys got in there and and some tires.
Speaker 1: They amended it. So so Yeah. They amended these account control agreements to reduce EPA oversight and to make it easier for them to pass through the money without getting caught. So you caught them.
Speaker 0: And have you kicked this over to Pam Bondi at justice?
Speaker 1: Yeah. The justice department and FBI have been working very closely with us. They've been working hard on this. My conversations with the attorney general, she seems very focused and motivated. Same thing when I had an opportunity to speak to our our great new FBI director.
We have to ensure that there's accountability here, and we have to make sure that the federal government reestablishes oversight. We can't have we can't afford as a country to have this kind of money wasted. We should have zero tolerance for even a penny of waste and abuse. Wow. Mean, there should be no way that tens of billions are going up.
One
Speaker 0: a lot of scandals in the Biden administration, but this seems like a whopper. Glad you found it out. Lee Zellman, we really appreciate it. Let's get to the bottom of it. Thanks, Jesse.

I find it absolutely insane that Glenn Beck revealed Stacey Abrams’ organization, which raised only $100, received $2 billion from taxpayers. He pointed out that the Biden-Harris administration funneled $7 billion to the United Climate Fund, part of a larger $20 billion initiative, with ties to Abrams and no transparency. An EPA official even claimed this was an insurance policy against Trump winning, indicating it was a desperate cash dump. Now, the government is clawing back the funds stashed at Citibank, which I see as calculated theft, not incompetence.

In April 2024, the Biden-Harris administration, through the EPA, allocated $7 billion to the United Climate Fund, part of a larger $20 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund hidden within the Inflation Reduction Act.
This money was funneled to Power Forward Communities, connected to Stacey Abrams, lacking transparency and accountability. An EPA official revealed this as an "insurance policy" against Trump winning the election, indicating a rushed cash dump.
The $20 billion was stashed at Citibank but is now being reclaimed by the government. This isn't incompetence; it's calculated theft.

Speaker 0: April 2024, the Biden Harris administration via the EPA handed over $7,000,000,000 of your money to a ghost called the United Climate Fund. This was all part of a 20,000,000,000 jackpot from the greenhouse gas reduction fund. That was tacked in and tucked in so you couldn't really find it in the so called inflation reduction act that had nothing to do with reducing inflation. Nothing. Then the mask slips off.
We find out that they were funneling cash to power forward communities. That thing is tied to Stacey Abrams. No transparency on that. No accountability. It's just a shell.
She had only raised a hundred dollars. That's all she could raise for her own organization. In December, it was project Veritas that caught an EPA official spilling the truth on this one. He said this was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Now what does that mean?
So all it was was a desperate cash dump before the clock ran out. Now under the, you know, department of government officials, Doge, they blew the lid off of this thing. The $20,000,000,000 was stashed at Citibank. It's being clawed back now by the government. It isn't incompetence.

I'm sharing insights on why Elon Musk is making waves. It turns out that Democrats are allegedly laundering taxpayer money through NGOs, and there's a plan to use DOGE to trace this money back to its origins. Politicians are profiting from systemic fraud, and it's time someone took action. The process involves taxpayer funds going to NGOs, creating a loophole that allows money to flow back to corrupt politicians. I'm determined to connect the dots and expose this corruption. Supporting Elon Musk and DOGE's mission is crucial for the change we need.
@Ultrafrog17 - Green Lives Matter
If you are wondering why Elon Musk is over the target, this clip explains it all. Democrats are money laundering YOUR taxpayer money through NG0s and they are planning on using DOGE to follow the money to the source of the crime. Politicians are becoming wealthy off systematic fraud and theft and we have known this for decades but now someone is finally doing something about it. If this is shut down, their entire system of corruption will be severely hampered. "What happens is your tax payer money is sent to various organizations which then send it to NGOs. Effectively, there is a giant fraud loophole. The government can send money to an NGO which is then no longer governed by the laws of the United States. I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the (corrupt politicians)... There is a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress. I'm trying to connect the dots. How did they become rich? How did they get 20 million while they are earning 200 thousand a year. Nobody can explain that. We are going to try and figure it out. And certainly, stop it." This is the kind of change we have been looking for. We must support Elon Musk and DOGE's mission now more than ever.

Taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs. If it's a government-funded NGO, it's effectively just the government.
A fraud loophole exists because the government can send money to an NGO that is no longer governed by U.S. laws. The money is sent overseas to one NGO, then through others.
The speaker is highly confident that some of that money returns to the U.S. and enriches certain people. There are strangely wealthy members of Congress, and it's unclear how they accumulated millions while earning comparatively little. The speaker aims to investigate this and prevent it from continuing.

Speaker 0: There is a massive amount of corruption, it is circuitous. So what happens is there's money that obviously, it's your taxpayer money that that is then sent to various government organizations who then send it to to NGOs, which which an NGO is a nongovernmental organization, obviously, if it's a government funded nongovernmental organization, it's just an organization. It's just the government. And effectively, there's a giant fraud loophole, which is that the government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the law laws of The United States. So they'll they'll send the money overseas to one NGO, then it'll go through a bunch of a bunch of them.
And then I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to The United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned. But it is a circuitous route. It's not like it it doesn't go directly. But let's just say that there's a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I just can't I'm trying to connect the dots of how do they become rich while earning how they get $20,000,000 if they're earning $200,000 a year. It sounds that's how how do nobody can explain that.
So something's yeah, we're going to try to figure it out and and certainly stop it from happening. So

DOGE just confirmed what many suspected - there’s a tremendous amount of waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. Including voter fraud, using illegal immigrants, under Biden. https://t.co/7dRAypSX1j
Video Transcript AI Summary
Doge's revelations allegedly expose significant waste, fraud, and abuse within the US government. Antonio Gracias claims the Biden administration's policies link illegal immigration, voter fraud, and Social Security. He alleges a surge in Social Security numbers being issued to non-citizens, facilitated by administrative offenses at the border and a system that defaults to "max inclusion" for benefits.
Concerns are raised about non-citizens registering and voting, potentially impacting elections. The Heritage Foundation estimates a net fiscal deficit of $14-15,000 per unlawful immigrant household annually.
Doge's findings also highlight government waste, including the NIH's 700 disparate IT systems and a billion-dollar 10-question survey. There are twice as many active government credit cards as employees, and archaic systems hinder efficiency. $4.7 trillion in government spending is reportedly untraceable due to optional rationale fields.
Elon Musk claims that cutting waste, fraud, and abuse could improve government benefits. He alleges Social Security fraud is preventing legitimate recipients from receiving benefits. Doge aims to cut a trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse and improve government services. The speaker emphasizes the need for technological solutions and accountability to address the national debt crisis.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The last few days of revelation from Doge have given us extremely specific details that confirm what many of us have suspected for a while now. The US government is full of waste, fraud, and abuse. So first, let's talk about the fraud. Today, Antonio Gracias, a self made billionaire and friend of Elon Musk, walked us through exactly how under the Biden administration, illegal immigration, voter fraud, and Social Security are linked. I want you to watch this.
Speaker 1: We started at the top of the system mapping the whole system of Social Security to understand where all the fraud was, and there's a lot of great people there that showed us really a lot of waste. And so that came with a big list of stuff they're working on. You've heard some of already. But this is what jumped out at us. When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this?
In '21, you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2,100,000 in '24. These are noncitizens that are getting Social Security numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This this is a mind blowing chart.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Just this this literally blew us away. Like, we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident. This number, what this is, is when you come in the country, if you're illegal, there's a couple ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid.
You'll get they'll give you an asylum asylum case. Get an interview, then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally, this happened.
I talked to border patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo, and I went to Brownsville. Elon went to Eagle Pass. You walk up to a board patrol officer, and you tell them you wanna come in.
They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under $13.25, or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically. They were told to do that, make an administrative offense on the last administration. And you go walk across the border, they do what's called a release of your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, a notice to appear, which to appear to judge. The wait times on judges are like average six years.
Look at Guroc, you'll see it on immigration judges. There's only 700 of them. This is 5,500,000 people. Okay? So what happens then?
Once you're in the country and you've got asylum through one of these pathways, we map the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document. You file a seven six five. It's the work form. You get this form called the seven six six. That's the authorization.
And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number. No interview. No ID.
Speaker 2: This is worth, like, just reiterating. It it it's not that it's not people sometimes think that under the Biden administration that that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn't asleep. They weren't asleep at the switch. It it it was a massive large scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of The United States and disenfranchise the the American people and make it a permanent, deep blue, one party state from which there would be no escape.
Speaker 1: Look. If I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure I believed it. I went through it myself and mapped it. And Elon is right. This is true.
The defaults in the system from Social Security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people and minimum collection. That's what's happening. We found 1,300,000 of them already on Medicaid as an example. We've gone through On every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, this 5,500,000 people, in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why.
We're asking ourselves why. And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population. Yes.
Speaker 2: And who did vote?
Speaker 1: And and we found some by sampling that actually did vote, and we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Okay. So what does this mean? Let's break down exactly what we were just told. Step one. So you notice that spike on the chart that Antonio had up?
That shows that the Biden administration allowed people to enter the country illegally in increased numbers prior to the twenty twenty four election. Whether it was by design or incompetence is a question, but what is not a question is that there were increased numbers of people entering the country illegally prior to that election. Step two, the administration gave many of those illegal immigrants a light slap on the wrist instead of a misdemeanor or a felony. And, effectively, they got to stay here for years without consequence. And the way this works is that those illegal immigrants, rather than being turned away, which would be the ideal thing, or getting charged with a felony, they essentially just got an administrative offense, which is like a parking ticket, and they would just have to show up at a court hearing that might not happen for a long time, maybe even years, because the court system is so overwhelmed.
It takes years for the case to be heard. And in the meantime, that illegal immigrant gets to just stay in the country. Step three, them a Social Security number so that they can get Medicaid and other benefits using taxpayer money. And here, the rejoinder is often, oh, well, they don't get full benefits, and they pay taxes. Yeah.
Illegal immigrants do pay some taxes. That's a fair point. But it's not as much as they receive in benefits. The Heritage Foundation estimated that the average unlawful immigrant household receives about $25,000 in government benefits and services while only paying about $10,000 in taxes. So that's an annual fiscal deficit of around 14 to $15,000 per household.
So now that these people are in the country, step four, remove voter ID requirements at a state level so that citizenship can't be verified. I live in California. I experienced this directly. In fact, funny story, on election day, I literally tried to show my ID and had it refused. I was like, let let's see.
Maybe this is just like an Internet thing. Like, you know, surely, I can't I literally cannot not show my ID. Nope. That's exactly what happened. I tried to show my ID and had it refused.
And on top of that, we've seen explicit moves to allow noncitizens to vote. In 2021, the New York City Council allowed approximately 800,000 noncitizens, specifically lawful permanent residents, but noncitizens to vote in municipal elections like mayor and city council. They passed a bill that would allow this provided that they had resided in the city for at least thirty days. Now the law never took effect because it was challenged immediately, and it was finally struck down on March twentieth of this year, twenty twenty five. But it shows the Democrats' willingness to extend voting rights to noncitizens.
Imagine if he had been in power. Do you think they might have extended that right even further? It's worth contemplating. And then there's the issue of, well, did some noncitizens and, in fact, illegal immigrants vote in the twenty twenty four election? Because according to Antonio, they found outright evidence of illegal immigrants actually voting in that election.
He found a significant portion of his Social Security numbers that were given to illegal immigrants also were registered in the voter rolls. A step five is illegal immigrants now vote on a smaller scale in states where voter ID isn't required. And how would voter fraud work? Because, look, I think a lot of time people are saying, it's ridiculous. There weren't millions of illegal immigrants voting.
You don't need millions. You don't need a massive amount of voter fraud to swing an election. In the twenty twenty election, two key swing states, Arizona and Georgia, were won by roughly 22,000 votes respectively. That is a tiny amount considering the tens of millions of votes that are cast. So if that had happened at sufficient scale in a few key swing states, step six would have been you just win the election.
And with that power that you have over the executive branch and maybe over the legislative branch, you give citizenship to illegal immigrants so that they can vote on a larger scale. And that's what the Biden administration tried to do in 2021 with The US citizenship act. That act would have given illegal immigrants an eight year path to citizenship. So you allow illegal immigrants into the country. You let them stay here longer than they should because you give them a court date that is gonna be years in the future because the judicial system is overrun.
You give them benefits. They stay here. You give them citizenship. Guess who they're gonna be loyal to? The same people who let them in.
Step eight is now presidential elections are just like California elections, just different shades of blue. And as someone who lives in California and just had to evacuate his home due to the LA fires, I see what happens when your state goes so deep blue that even when disasters happen, you still get to hold on to power. If that sounds conspiratorial to you, so be it. Maybe it's just gross incompetence and a bunch of disconnected events. But here's the thing.
Extreme incompetence is indistinguishable from genuine malevolence. And even if you dispute that all of this was planned intentionally, what can't be disputed is that all of this was happening simultaneously. So intentional or not, it is an attack vector that needs to be closed. And anyone who exploited that attack vector at any scale needs to go to prison because it's treason. That's the biggest fraud bombshell.
But I mentioned fraud, waste, and abuse. So now let's talk about the waste and the abuse. Because Thursday, Elon and the Doge team did an interview, and they detailed some of the most insane findings from Doge's efforts so far. Here's a compilation of some of the wildest findings. The NIH has nearly 700 different IT systems.
Most of them don't talk to each other.
Speaker 3: There's 700 different IT systems today at NIH.
Speaker 4: Seven hundred different IT systems.
Speaker 3: IT software systems.
Speaker 2: They don't connect.
Speaker 3: They can't speak to
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 4: They say they don't talk to one.
Speaker 3: They have 27 different CIOs. And so when you think about making great medical discoveries, you have to connect the data.
Speaker 4: Time out. Time out. You said 27 different chief information officers?
Speaker 3: Correct. Correct.
Speaker 2: Most of them are nontechnical.
Speaker 4: So there's a lot there.
Speaker 2: So what
Speaker 3: saying? There's a lot of opportunity. It will make science better, not worse.
Speaker 2: And when I say that our job is tech support, I really mean it. Yeah. We have to fix the computers. If the computers can't talk to each other, you can't get research done. If the computers can't go stay online, people won't receive their social security.
So what we have here are a bunch of failing computer systems that are preventing people from receiving their benefits, that are preventing people from preventing research from happening, that are, extremely vulnerable to fraud, and we're fixing it.
Speaker 0: Our government spent a billion dollars implementing a 10 question survey.
Speaker 2: Literally, 10 question survey that you could do with SurveyMonkey cost about $10,000, was, the government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that. For just the survey? A billion dollars for a for a simple online survey. Do you like the national park? And then there appeared to be no feedback loop for what would be done with that survey.
So the survey would just go to nothing.
Speaker 0: There are twice as many active credit cards than there are government employees. There's over 5,000,000 government employees and twice as many credit cards. And the process for retiring government employees literally involves processing files in an underground mine. Like, that's how archaic our systems are. And that means that even if you're genuinely trying to lay off many government employees quickly so that you can improve government efficiency, you can only do that at a rate of about 10,000 employees a month due to, I kid you not, limitations on how slow the elevator is that goes up and down into this mine.
Crazy. This is on top of earlier findings like finding out that $4,700,000,000,000 of government spending over the last several years that the treasury department has issued is untraceable. We don't even know how that money was spent or why it was spent. Because the field where government's employees are supposed to mark how that money was spent was optional instead of being mandatory. Many of you have either worked in corporate life or maybe you're you still work in the corporate world.
I used to be in the corporate world. There was no situation where I was allowed to spend the company's money without it having explicitly detailed rationale in a modern digital system where I could be held accountable. So just think about this from first principles. If the government doesn't have accountability because, first of all, even the president can't fire the majority of government's employees. They have a ton of civil service protections that protects their jobs.
Having a government job is one of the most secure jobs you can have in the world, which is great for the employees, but for the people who are paying those employees who, functionally, we are the boss, not only do we not have transparency, we don't have levers of accountability. Because even if things and funds are mismanaged, what can we actually do about it? I mean, the elected representatives are barely accountable to us. What about the unelected public servants? So do I think that majority of government's employees are corrupt?
Absolutely not. There's definitely some bad apples, but I think a lot of them are just caught in a system that is not accountable. It's not incentivized to be effective. It's not incentivized to be efficient, and it's just not serving the American people. So it's basically like a company that has been running a multitrillion dollar debt for years, but the company can never shut down.
There's never any accountability. It's madness. So what's a high level takeaway here? Right now, we will focus on the government fraud, waste, and abuse. The thesis is that there's enough of that for Doge to be able to reduce government spending by a trillion dollars.
Democrats are complaining that this means removing tons of benefits and services that Americans rely on, but it is obvious that there's tremendous amounts of waste in the government. And in fact, as a result, Elon has made the opposite claim, that we can cut a trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse and actually make government benefits and services better. For example, I want you to see what he just said about Social Security fraud stopping people from currently receiving their Social Security benefits. Check this out.
Speaker 2: And and they they steal people's Social Security is what happens. Is they they call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they they and they convince the post the social security person on the phone to change the where the where the money is flowing. It it actually goes to some fraudster. This is happening all day every day. And and then and then somebody doesn't receive their Social Security.
It's because of of all the the fraud loopholes in the Social Security system.
Speaker 4: How do you reassure people that what you all are doing is not gonna affect their benefits?
Speaker 2: No. In fact, what what we're doing will help their benefits. Legitimate people, as a result of the work of Doge, will receive more social security, not less. Wanna emphasize that. As a result of the work of Doge, legitimate recipients of social security will receive more money, not less money.
Speaker 4: Alright. I wanna
Speaker 2: emphasize that point and and and and let the record show that I said this, and the it will be proven out to be true.
Speaker 0: There's more than just waste in the government. There's outright fraud. Many people have been victims of identity fraud and have someone who's stolen their Social Security number and identity getting checks that they should be getting. So if we can solve a lot of these problems, we get a better government, not just a smaller one. And don't you guys want a smaller, better government?
And on another note, you know, it's very easy to focus on the federal layoffs. And my heart goes out to any federal government employee who has lost their job. Because on a human level, it doesn't matter what all the abstract conceptual reasons are. Losing your job is a scary thing. It's very scary.
Now I'll note that less than one percent of the people who were laid off did not receive some sort of severance. Many of those packages were eight months severance, which is actually really generous in the corporate world. So these people are not just having the table flipped over and told, okay. Good luck. But it's still a traumatic experience to lose your job, and I totally get why some people are just emotionally distraught over it.
But at the end of the day, the point of the government is not to provide people jobs. The point of the government, among other things, is to create an overall ecosystem where everyone has jobs and their needs met, but not be bigger so that we have more people in government. Like, that's not how we're supposed to be doing this thing. So, yeah, that's what the efficiency effort requires. Like, yes, we do need to be laying people off.
If a hundred people are doing a job that one can do, or if we have 700 different IT systems when we could replace them with five. And on a final note here, you know, before Elon entered the picture, it seemed like everyone agreed that there's a ton of waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. And it reminds me, just like before Trump ran for president the first time, everyone agreed that politicians were corrupt and there's a swamp that needed to be drained. But somewhere along the line, people became so fixated on the people who are solving the problem that they seem to miss the enormity of the problems those people are solving. And another thing that's being revealed here is how much of this problem isn't simply a matter of slashing budgets.
A lot of it is about outdated software and complicated money trails. So what does that actually mean? A lot of this is actually technological, technical, and coding problems, and that's why Doge is so revolutionary. We've had five major efforts to create government efficiency since 02/2001. In fact, there's a great clip from 2011 of Obama announcing a Doge like effort to bring government efficiency headed by your buddy Joe Biden.
So it's no wonder it wasn't so successful. Right? And none of those efforts, none of those five efforts have produced more than $25,000,000,000 of savings. So for all the things that people complain about Doge for, having a bunch of self made billionaires involved and young genius coders involved, those things that they're critiquing are actually Doge's strength. The bureaucrats have not been able to solve this problem for the last twenty five years.
Many of these problems can be solved with just better systems. It's not about cutting some money here and cutting some money there. You need to rearchitect these entire systems. So if Elon, the most successful technologist in the world, surrounded by a bunch of other geniuses who have made billions of dollars by delivering billions of dollars of value and solutions to humanity's problems, like one of the cofounders of Airbnb. He's involved.
If these people can't solve this problem, who can? Joe Biden? AOC? Bernie Sanders? Who who's gonna solve this problem?
Do you trust any of these politicians to solve this problem? So you don't have to like Elon. You don't like to have his approach. You don't like to like the fact that a bunch of 20 year old coders are in the Social Security Administration databases. But if they don't solve the problem, I don't see who else can.
So I hope that detractors of Doge and Elon see this, because a lot of the fears that they have about his influence are vague and general, and they're risks that are worth keeping in mind. It's important to have guardrails around anyone, and I understand the concerns, but a lot of these are vague general concerns that fall away when you realize just how wasteful our government is and know the specifics of how they're wasting our money. And you can do your part to help people who are in fear and talking about vague things like oligarchy and fascism just to focus on specifics and ask them, hey. Are any of these things that Doge has uncovered things that you want your money going toward? Any of these things.
Okay. So you have general fears about the people. Do you have any specific concerns about the specific problems that they've uncovered? And better yet, do you have an alternative? Do you have a different point person you can point to in the world and say, yeah.
They'd be better equipped to solve these problems than Doge. If you don't have a better solution, then stop focusing on the people and start focusing on the bigger problem because we have approaching $37,000,000,000,000 of debt, a consistent $2,000,000,000,000 deficit. We basically have a national credit card that we are running up the balance on, and our interest payments are now over a trillion dollars a year. If we don't get to figure this out, we're gonna be talking about more than layoffs. In fact, we're gonna be talking about more than a recession.
We're gonna be talking about a second great depression. So if we don't have great solutions to that, it's time to stop complaining. So if you're watching this, the best thing that you can do as a citizen is share this info with people who don't know. In a vacuum of information, fear is what thrives.

DOGE: Why is Senator Sheldon Whitehouse such a huge critic of DOGE and Elon Musk? Turns out he's been funneling millions to an NGO that pays his wife millions. His wife isn't paid by just one government funded NGO but two including the Atlantic Council. The corruption is deep.

I shared my thoughts on why Democrats opposed DOGE's involvement with government funds, suggesting it was due to their attempts to hide billions in taxpayer money before Trump took office. I highlighted a 76-day period between Trump's election and Biden's departure, pointing out that the Department of Energy disbursed $93 billion from the Loan Program Office, which is more than double the amount distributed in the previous 15 years.

Want to know why Democrats didn't want DOGE poking around in government funds? Because they were stealing and trying to conceal BILLIONS in taxpayer funds before Donald Trump took office. “The 76-day period you're talking about, that's the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. How much taxpayer money went out the door of the Department of Energy? From the Loan Program Office in Loans and Commitments $93 billion. Well over twice as much as in the previous 15 years”
Video Transcript AI Summary
During a 76-day period between President Trump's election and President Biden leaving office, the Department of Energy's loan program issued $93 billion in loans and commitments, more than double the amount from the previous 15 years. The loans were sometimes given to entities lacking business plans or financial solvency. The department is now reviewing these loans and grants for theft and incompetence. Some applicants presented half-baked ideas, promising plans after receiving funds. The department's budget increased from $60 billion to $160 billion since fiscal year 2021. The department is reducing its headcount by thousands, which the secretary believes is common-sense business. The secretary credits President Trump for empowering departments to make necessary changes to better serve taxpayers and consumers.

Speaker 0: Mister secretary, I wanna go back to some of your earlier testimony to be sure I heard it correctly. The seventy six day period you're talking about, that's the period between the time that president Trump was elected and president Biden left office. Is that right? That is correct. And during that short period of time, seventy six days, how much taxpayer money went out the door of the Department of Energy?
Speaker 1: From the loan program office in loans and commitments, $93,000,000,000, well over twice as much as in
Speaker 0: the previous fifteen years. So how do you vet and do due diligence on a loan in seventy six days. One loan, much less $93,000,000,000. How do you do it?
Speaker 1: I I think it's probably pretty clear it wasn't done in many cases. As I mentioned, yeah, I'm told I'm holding back clearly in place stuff. There is lots of funds that have gone out the door and commitments that were made from businesses that provided no business plan, no numbers about their own financial solvency or how this project So you're telling
Speaker 0: me that the Department of Energy in the seventy six day period before their boss was gonna leave office, gave our loan money to to entities that had no business plan? Correct. No financials?
Speaker 1: Correct. A number of those were not were before the seventy six day period as well. That's that's I've I've come in with great concern about how this institution, this great American institution has been run and how American tax payer money has been handled. I'm sorry everyone's upset that we're taking some time to do it, but what we've seen I'm not upset. Shows I'm
Speaker 0: not upset. Could it be that a lot of people say you haven't returned your calls? Could it be that you and your your colleagues have returned the calls, but the people calling just didn't like the answer? Could that be a possibility?
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not I'm not aware of that. You know, I give my cell phone number to any senator that wants it, and I return my calls.
Speaker 0: I I I I I mean, is your is your department gone dark? Somebody said your department's gone dark. Is it dark over there?
Speaker 1: Doesn't look it doesn't look dark behind me.
Speaker 0: I don't see any of you sitting on your hands. Somebody made that charge. I see everybody's hands. Let me ask you something else, mister secretary. Does does anybody ever come to the Department of Energy to get some of this free money and lie to you?
Speaker 1: I have not experienced that, but I I think it's a a reasonable assumption that that has happened. Does anybody ever come to you is or is it conceivable that some of these folks that heard about this free money came to you with a half baked idea? I think it's very conceivable. In fact, I've seen such plans that were half
Speaker 0: baked with didn't have a business plan. Right?
Speaker 1: Correct. A promise to develop one, to find a location
Speaker 0: the money, and I'll develop the plan later.
Speaker 1: Correct. And and now
Speaker 0: you're going back through not money that's already been contracted, but you're going back through and checking each one of these loans and these grants to make sure there was no stealing, aren't you? We are. We are. Make sure there was no incompetence, aren't you? Is that correct?
Speaker 1: We're looking at that, and and, yeah, my my blood pressure is rising right now just thinking about what we have seen and what did happen at
Speaker 0: the moment. Gonna tell some of these boondoggles no, aren't you?
Speaker 1: That's correct. And they're gonna be upset, aren't they? That's correct. And they ought to
Speaker 0: be upset, shouldn't they? I don't think
Speaker 1: they should be upset. I think they should be ashamed.
Speaker 0: I am it's rare that I'm speechless, but I wanna be sure I understood. The people running the Department of Energy for president Biden's administration shoveled $93,000,000,000, not million, $93,000,000,000 out the door in seventy six days, and it just happened to be the time between when president Trump was elected and president Biden, their boss, was leaving. Is that right?
Speaker 1: It is correct and distasteful. Confidence undermining. My god.
Speaker 0: Look. I hope you take whatever time you need to go through all of these projects penny by penny. I mean, I I've heard this testimony today. Well, it'll cost jobs in my state. If somebody steals $50,000,000 and goes and spends the money in their state, that's that's gonna stimulate the economy, isn't it?
Yes. It will. But that's still stealing, isn't it? And it's still illegal, isn't it? Yes.
I mean, they were spending money at the Department of Energy like it was ditch water. Their budget went from $60,000,000,000 to a hundred and $60,000,000,000 since fiscal year two thousand twenty one. It just sounds to me like like there were a lot of people coming to the Department of Energy who had all four feet and their snout in the trough. And I hope if you I hope you'll turn down the boondoggles and refer the thieves to the Department of Justice. We will indeed.
Speaker 1: Senator, the one complication in there too is mixed in there are good companies doing good things honestly with credible plans. And you're trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. Yes. That's what we're trying to do. That's our job, and we're doing it.
But there's there's a lot of chaff.
Speaker 0: Let me ask you one final question. Let me go back to how many employees you have. Now there have been some allegations today that that that you've you've cut tens of thousands of employees. Is that accurate?
Speaker 1: Well, I think the allegations were thousands, and we we our headcount will ultimately be reduced by thousands, but we are doing it slowly. Thousand now?
Speaker 0: Yes. And you think you can do it with fewer than 16,000?
Speaker 1: Correct. What's wrong with that? I think it's just common sense business.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Businesses do it every day in the real world. American taxpayers deserve it. That's never happened in in the federal government. I mean, it's easier to divorce your spouse than to get rid of a federal employee up here.
That's not the way the world works, is it, mister secretary? It's not the
Speaker 1: way the world should work. And I give enormous credit to president Trump who had the boldness to say if there's a right thing that needs to be done and it's difficult, please do it. And so, yes, this is new territory. This is not what happens normally in the federal government, but it is what needs to happen periodically in the federal government. And I give the credit to president Trump who's willing to take the heat and has set the departments free, make the changes you need to make to better serve American taxpayers and American consumers.
And, across his administration, that's what's being done. Alright. On that
Speaker 0: note, I just wanted to clear that up, mister secretary, because I I you know, I I don't know you to be a person who doesn't return his phone call.

I discussed the failure of Republicans to codify DOGE cuts and questioned whether USAID's DOGE team has found any evidence of radical left Democrats, like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, receiving money directly from USAID. I believe that USAID and NGOs are intertwined with Congress, leading to issues like bribery and money laundering. I also referenced Elon Musk's confidence that a significant amount of this money returns to the U.S., suggesting that many members of Congress are unusually wealthy.
@Real_RobN - 🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸
Here is why Republicans failed to codify DOGE cuts. Has USAID’s DOGE team found any evidence that any of the radical left Democrats — such as Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, or Nancy Pelosi — have received money directly from USAID? Absolutely: USAID + NGOs (Government funded non-governmental organizations) = U.S. Congress—bribery, money laundering and racketeering. @elonmusk “I am highly confident that a bunch of that money comes back to the U.S. and lands in the pockets of those you just mentioned.. I’ll just say there’s a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress.”
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker was asked if there is evidence that Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer have received money directly from USAID. The speaker responded that taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs, which are government-funded but not governed by U.S. laws. Money is sent overseas to NGOs and the speaker is confident that some of it returns to the U.S. and ends up with the aforementioned politicians. The speaker states that it's not a direct route, but that some members of Congress are strangely wealthy, accumulating millions while earning significantly less annually, which is unexplainable. The speaker says they are going to try to figure it out and stop it from happening.

Speaker 0: My question is about USAID. Has the Doge team found any evidence that any of the radical left Democrats like Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer have received money directly from USAID? And if so, will we be hearing about that evidence anytime soon?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the the there is a massive amount of corruption, it it is circuitous. So what happens is there's money that obviously it's your taxpayer money that that is then sent to various government organizations who then send it to to NGOs, which which an NGO is a non governmental organization, but obviously, it's a government funded non governmental organization, it's just an organization, it's just the government. And effectively, there's a giant fraud loophole, which is that the the government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the law laws of The United States. So they'll they'll send the money overseas to one NGO, then they'll go through a bunch of bunch of them.
And then I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to The United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned. But it is a circuitous route. It's not like it it it doesn't go directly. But let's just say that there's a lot of strangely wealthy members of congress where I'm I just can't I'm I'm trying to connect the dots of how do they become rich while earning how do they get 20,000,000 if they're earning 200,000 a year? Sounds that's how how do I just nobody can explain that.
So so so something's yeah. We we we we're gonna try to figure it out and and and and certainly stop it from happening. So
