The Treasury's main payment system, PAM, handles about $5 trillion a year, roughly a billion dollars an hour. When we first looked at it, payments could be processed with no categorization or description – basically, untraceable blank checks. If this were a public company, it would be delisted, and the executives would be in jail. We recommended making payment categorization codes mandatory with some explanation required for each payment. This radical change is being implemented now, and I think it probably saves $100 billion a year. Where was that money going? It's hard to say what was waste and what was fraud. If the government sends money to someone who doesn't deserve it, is that waste, or fraud?

The Inter American Foundation (IAF) receives $50 million annually from Congress for grants, such as alpaca farming in Peru and improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala through jam. While nonprofits typically allocate 80-90% of funds to grantees, IAF allocates 58%, with the remainder covering management and travel. According to the GAO, only 10-15 cents of each dollar reaches the intended recipient. The money goes through layers of stealing via contractors and subcontractors. Sometimes, the money never reaches the destination. One speaker suggests that it's possible no one got a sex change in Guatemala. Another speaker overheard a contractor being told to falsify billable hours.

USAID and other NGOs like DFID claim to rescue Africa with grassroots initiatives, but they destabilize governments. Many leaders in the developing world are celebrating USAID's exit. Despite filling gaps in healthcare and education, no country shows improvement in these areas due to USAID. The social services provided are minimal. American taxpayers should know that only a fraction of the billions given to USAID reaches the people.

The transcript centers on alleged mismanagement of funds from a Fire Aid benefit concert claimed to raise over $100,000,000 for Los Angeles fire victims. The speakers assert that residents are asking where the money went and imply a lack of transparency or accountability. Key points include: - The Fire Aid initiative reportedly raised about $100,000,000 for residents, community needs, and funds intended to help with the aftermath, yet there is no clear accounting of where the money ended up. - The Fire Aid website states that all direct donations will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation. The IRS Form 990 lists the Annenberg Foundation as a 501(c)(3) based in Kunshakin, Pennsylvania, in a certain office building. - A red flag is raised that only 33% of the Annenberg Foundation’s annual expenses go toward actual charity programs; the remainder goes to administrative costs, including executive compensation. - The transcript highlights Cynthia Kennard (referred to as Cinny) as top leadership, earning roughly three-quarters of a million dollars plus six-figure bonuses, described as nearly seven figures for one person. - There is a reference to a photo or moment showing Cynthia Kennard with Gavin Newsom discussing issues like homelessness, described as an “if you know, you know” moment. - A comparison is drawn with Doctors Without Borders, noting that it spends almost 90% of its money on actual programs and less than 1% on administrative costs. - Local journalists’ inquiries revealed that the Fire Aid site lists only three Palisades organizations among nearly 120 grant recipients: Kahelet Israel, Chabad of Pacific Palisades, and Palisades Charter High School; none appear to be specific to Pacific Palisades. - Attempts to contact the Annenberg Foundation were described as fruitless or thwarted, with extensions that didn’t lead to returns, referrals to a mysterious man named Philip (no last name), and no subsequently found contact. - The speakers conclude that the $100,000,000 was allegedly largely consumed by administration, with about 70% directed toward the organization itself and the rest disbursed to various other nonprofits, each carrying their own administrative costs, leading to the impression that much of the money disappeared. Overall, the dialogue portrays the Fire Aid fundraising as potentially lacking transparency and accountability, with accusations that the majority of funds may have been diverted to administrative costs rather than direct charitable use, and that grant dispersals to other nonprofits were not clearly explained or traceable.

Poverty could be solved globally with a simple decision, but corruption prevents this from happening, particularly in places like Africa and Ethiopia. Wealthy countries gather annually for the Cap 28 summit to discuss funding for poorer nations, pledging between $105 billion and $100 billion each year. However, almost none of this money reaches those in need due to corruption. Despite widespread awareness of this issue, it remains largely unaddressed. In various regions, including Haiti, the focus ultimately shifts to how much of the aid is misappropriated, resulting in minimal support for the intended recipients.

Kids Wish Network raised $127 million but spent only 2.5% on direct cash aid to kids, paying solicitors $109 million. The Cancer Fund of America spent less than 1% on the actual cause.

There's significant fraud in USAID, with radical groups receiving funds they don't deserve. A staggering amount, like a hundred million, is being misallocated. It's crucial to investigate the kickbacks associated with this spending. Who would invest such sums in questionable projects? It's likely that those who received the funds are not returning any to the government, indicating a high level of corruption. The key issue is understanding the extent of these kickbacks.

Poverty could be solved globally with a simple decision, but corruption prevents this, especially in regions like Africa and Ethiopia. Wealthy countries gather annually for the Cap 28 summit to pledge around $100 billion for poorer nations, yet almost none of this money reaches those in need. Corruption is the main issue, but it remains largely unaddressed in discussions. Despite numerous visits to places like Haiti, the reality is that very little of the pledged aid actually benefits the intended recipients, as most funds are misappropriated.

Speaker 0: In America, we don't have a tax problem. We've got a third world problem. This is not an exaggeration. The United States collects over $2,400,000,000,000 in income taxes every year and then burns $1,500,000,000,000 through fraud, waste, and third world robbery. If the elites actually did their jobs and cut out the waste, the government would only need about $900,000,000,000 to function. And here's the crazy part. That would mean anyone earning under $500,000 a year could pay zero income tax, and everything would still be fully funded. So if this money isn't funding our future, whose dream is it really building? Look at Minnesota. The Somali daycare scandal gave us the answer. Billions of dollars you worked for, money meant to feed hungry kids, was diverted through fake daycare centers, phantom meals, and paperwork designed to approve. Not question, no kids, no food, just checks. Your hard earned labor was turned into Lamborghinis, beachfront mansions, and luxury vacations most of us will never experience even after a lifetime of honest work. On top of that, your tax dollars were routed to foreign organizations The US Military is fighting. Let that sink in. We went from defending liberty to bankrolling the threat. That's not compassion. That's collapse. And when systems fail like this, they don't admit mistakes. They don't apologize for wasting your money. They dig deeper into your pockets to fund their failure.

The Inter American Foundation (IAF) receives $50 million annually to give grants for projects like alpaca farming in Peru and improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala through jam. Unlike private sector nonprofits that give 80-90% of funds to grantees, IAF gives 58%, with the rest going to management and travel. Most of the money never leaves DC, ending up in the pockets of locals. The GAO estimates that only 10-15 cents of each dollar reaches the intended recipient. There are layers of stealing through contractors and subcontractors, sometimes resulting in nothing reaching the final destination. It's possible that no one got a sex change in Guatemala. A contractor was overheard telling a colleague to falsify billable hours.

The speaker describes a pattern they have observed with USAID and other organizations, where claims are made that a program will help children or contribute to disease eradication, yet the speaker encounters a persistent disconnect between those bold claims and on-the-ground reality. According to the speaker, whenever they request a direct connection to the children who are supposedly intended to benefit, they are met with silence or inaction. They ask for contact with a group of children so they can speak with them and understand more about the children’s issues, but they repeatedly receive nothing in response. The speaker emphasizes that there is even a reluctance to assemble a small, identifiable group of orphans or children in need to observe the situation firsthand. They question, essentially, why they cannot at least see a few kids or be allowed to meet the children who are presumed to be in trouble, along with their caregivers, to gain a clearer understanding of the situation. In expressing this frustration, the speaker articulates a broader concern about the process of aid delivery. They note a pattern whereby, despite assurances that aid is directed toward helping children, there is a systemic failure to provide access to the beneficiaries themselves. The speaker then characterizes this failure as part of a larger problem, describing “an enormous amount of fraud and graft.” They claim that a substantial portion of aid funds and efforts do not reach the children at all, or at the very least not in a meaningful or transparent way. The speaker asserts that, in their view, very little of the aid actually reaches the children, if anything at all, suggesting a misalignment between stated objectives and actual outcomes. Overall, the speaker conveys a strong perception of disengagement from the intended beneficiaries—the children and their caregivers—and ties this disengagement to allegations of misuse of resources. The core message centers on the request for direct access to the children and their caregivers to verify needs and outcomes, juxtaposed with a perception of widespread fraud and graft that prevents aid from reaching those it is intended to help.

Wish Network raised $127 million but only 2.5% went to direct cash aid for kids, while solicitors were paid $109 million. The Cancer Fund of America spent less than 1% on its stated cause.

A $100,000 donation intended to buy food for poor kids in Africa doesn't fully reach them because the NGO subcontracts the work, creating multiple middlemen. Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, estimates that 88¢ of every dollar goes to middlemen. Only 12¢ of each dollar spent on humanitarian assistance reaches the people who need it. There is a lot of waste.

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.

Transnational fraud rings, terrorist organizations, and even nation-states are being funded with taxpayer dollars. During the pandemic, one trillion dollars was stolen, with 70% going overseas. For example, one state had more unemployment claims than adults. Romanian criminals used stolen funds for fentanyl and to undermine our democracy. While most public servants are honest, some exploit the system. In one recent case, individuals stole $50 million from Medicaid in under four months. These aren't individual thefts, but organized criminal groups, both domestic and transnational, that we need data and technology to stop.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

Elon highlighted significant issues of fraud, waste, and abuse in the budget, estimating that around 10% could be fraudulent, amounting to approximately $600 billion to $1 trillion in waste. Initially, there was hope for a democracy, but now there's concern that it may devolve into a kleptocracy, reminiscent of Latin American regimes. The data from USAID reveals troubling political contributions that suggest corruption. This situation is alarming, and it's crucial to prevent further decline. Fortunately, there are over 80 dedicated individuals working tirelessly to address these issues, and their efforts are commendable.

The shocking part of investigating government-funded NGOs is that small decisions lead to massive, multi-billion dollar outcomes. I saw one instance of $1.9 billion being sent to an NGO that was formed a year prior and had no prior activity. Government-funded NGOs are essentially a loophole, allowing actions that would be illegal for the government directly but become permissible through nonprofits. These nonprofits are then used for personal enrichment, with individuals cashing out and paying themselves exorbitant sums. It's a giant scam where people can establish an NGO for a relatively small investment and then lobby politicians to funnel vast sums of money into it. There might be some good that comes from them, maybe 5 or 10%, but the rest is not.

While private sector nonprofits typically allocate 80-90% of funds to grantees, IAF gives 58%, with the remainder covering management and travel. According to the GAO, only 10 to 15 cents of each dollar actually reaches the intended recipient. Much of the money remains in DC, allegedly benefiting individuals in the area rather than reaching Peru.

American taxpayer money is funding the Taliban through $40,000,000 sent weekly by the US government to Afghanistan. The money goes through the Afghanistan International Bank to the Taliban-controlled Central Bank, led by a sanctioned terrorist. The Central Bank auctions the dollars to licensed money dealers involved in the hawala system.

Corruption is rampant, with reports of ministers hiding millions in cash. The U.S. has sent over $250 billion to these corrupt entities, while the Pentagon has lost a staggering amount without accountability. If an individual misplaces a small sum, they face audits, yet the Pentagon's losses go unchecked. This situation highlights the absurdity of the system. Defense contractors, like Raytheon, benefit from ongoing military contracts, ensuring their board members remain in power. Generals often transition to lucrative positions in these companies after retirement, perpetuating a cycle of profit from war. This dynamic raises questions about the integrity of leadership and the consequences for the public. Ultimately, the system's flaws could lead to its downfall.

We're uncovering massive fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Recently, it was discovered that there were $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas. Social Security payments are even going to deceased individuals. We're also seeing contracts where the full amount wasn't delivered. For example, a million-dollar contract might only see $500,000 distributed, and we're working to find where the rest of the money went. This is exactly what I campaigned on, and what 77 million people elected me to do.

Doge has saved at least $170-200 billion. On day one in the White House, they had to stop a payment, but nobody knew where the computer was that wired the money. There was a lot of waste and grift in the federal government. Many people were "slurping." Humanitarian programs send money for medicine and food, but the money is contracted out, and there are three or four middlemen. Marco Rubio estimated that 88 cents of every dollar was collected by middlemen, so only 12 cents made it to the people who needed it. Elon Musk was doing it for free because he doesn't need money.

Speaker 0 highlights that a tremendous amount of money is being sent to nongovernmental organizations. He characterizes this flow of funds as, essentially, one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world. In his view, government-funded nongovernmental organizations create a gigantic fraud loophole because the government can provide money to an NGO, and then there are no controls over that NGO. He asserts that there have been billions of dollars in tech directed to NGOs through this mechanism, and he estimates tens of billions of dollars have been given to NGOs that are essentially scams.

Speaker 0 explains that transparency has been lacking and that tracking money through organizations is difficult. He says there is now at least a parameter for opacity, and that this parameter must be solidified to understand how money moves internally—through contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, and networks of friends and associates. He predicts that over the next five years criminal activity will be uncovered as these money flows are examined more closely. Speaker 1 adds that there is a distinction between the border situation and how funds were dispersed north and south. As NGOs realize their federal funding is drying up, he questions whether there is enough momentum or private-sector money to sustain them, and what will happen to groups that no longer receive taxpayer dollars. Speaker 0 responds that hundreds of NGOs will close, noting that hundreds were created specifically for the mass migration crisis—serving as bus companies or as handlers at the border to assist migrants. He implies these organizations were established to address a surge and suggests their disappearance will follow as government funding wanes. Speaker 2 raises the issue of blanket preemptive pardons and asks if there should be an investigation into how the large influx of people—10 to 15 million—came about, characterizing the situation as not chaotic but well thought through. He asks if a thorough investigation is warranted. Speaker 0 calls for a full-throated investigation, including a presidential committee if needed, targeted at the DOJ under the new FBI director and the Attorney General. He argues there should be a focus on the political appointee class rather than only high-level officials like Mayorkas. He references his book, Overrun, Chapter Four, asserting that the situation was orchestrated and engineered at the political appointee level within the Domestic Policy Council, the DOJ, and all DHS agencies. He identifies people brought in from the NGO world, such as Tyler Moran, Esther Olavaria, Lucas Guten Tag, and Amy Pope, claiming they orchestrated the effort and undermined federal law and statutes that require faithful execution of laws. Speaker 2 adds that hundreds of millions of dollars flowed to the former NGO employers, implying a link between the orchestration and financial rewards. The dialogue ends with a continued assertion of movement toward an expansive influx, described as an invasion, and a call for accountability at the administrative and policy-making levels.
