00:00:00.000 Well, some races draw attention, others become the race everyone watches.
00:00:04.500 In Texas, James Tallarico and Ken Paxton are facing off in one of Kalshi's most traded midterm markets.
00:00:10.360 Follow the race in real time on Kalshi, and then trade on the candidate you think is going to win.
00:00:14.960 Each correct contract is worth $1 at settlement.
00:00:18.120 Don't just follow the midterms, trade what happens next on Kalshi.
00:00:21.200 Use code DAILY, D-A-I-L-Y, to get up to $25 when you trade $25.
00:00:26.740 That's Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I, Kalshi, trade on anything.
00:00:31.360 18 plus only, restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.
00:00:34.720 Event contracts trading involves risk
00:00:36.480 and may not be suitable for all investors.
00:00:38.720 Kalshi products are not available in all jurisdictions.
00:00:41.480 Prices, values, and available markets
00:00:43.000 may differ from those mentioned.
00:00:44.680 For more information, see Kalshi.com slash regulatory.
00:00:47.920 If you happen to live through
00:00:49.600 the disgraceful Paycheck Protection Program,
00:00:52.680 as I think all of us did,
00:00:54.180 the fraud of the COVID era, where criminals collectively received hundreds of billions
00:00:59.160 of dollars to fund fake companies with really believable names like Dodge Hellcat LLC and
00:01:05.840 Pay My Parking Tickets LLP and Wakanda Forever PC, my personal favorite, then you might be
00:01:12.880 wondering how things could get any worse when it comes to the rampant theft of your tax dollars.
00:01:18.960 I mean, expectations are at the rock bottom right now. Every time you get your paycheck and you see
00:01:23.700 how much has been taken out. You immediately and correctly assume that your money has simply been
00:01:29.360 stolen to pay for some Somali daycare or a leering center or maybe a home healthcare business that 0.80
00:01:36.640 shares an office space with 500 other home healthcare businesses, all of them empty.
00:01:41.560 This is the default assumption right now, so it really doesn't seem particularly conceivable that
00:01:45.560 we'd uncover even more egregious fraud that somehow makes us stand up and take note. We're
00:01:51.460 also jaded that it's pretty hard to imagine any kind of fraud that generates a real reaction from
00:01:56.120 anybody at this point. And then this story comes out, which somehow manages to defy all of our
00:02:02.620 expectations, proving once again that as bad as things are, they can always get worse. So that's
00:02:09.340 the good news. This week, courtesy of an indictment from the DOJ, we've learned many more details
00:02:14.820 about how your tax dollars laundered through COVID payments, directly financed in international
00:02:20.500 political assassination with the help of dozens of defendants. Yes, you heard that correctly.
00:02:26.360 The Paycheck Protection Program was so poorly monitored and so flagrantly easy to defraud
00:02:32.820 that it somehow led to at least one documented political assassination overseas. And not just
00:02:39.380 any political assassination. I'm talking about the very dramatic assassination of the president
00:02:43.740 of Haiti back in the summer of 2021. Now we'll start with news coverage of the assassination
00:02:50.160 at the time when it happened. This is one of the most bizarre and also fascinating stories that no
00:02:56.760 one ever really talks about. It's like one of those Harrison Ford, Tom Clancy movies from the
00:03:02.420 90s in real life. And here's what we were told about this event shortly after it occurred. Watch.
00:03:13.740 Gunfire echoing through Port-au-Prince after the president was assassinated.
00:03:20.740 Then, just 36 hours after a group of more than two dozen Colombians and two Haitian Americans
00:03:29.160 allegedly killed the president, most would either be detained or declared dead.
00:03:34.240 This is how that happened, according to a source with knowledge of the operation to
00:03:38.120 track them down.
00:03:43.120 Nighttime video from around the time of the president's death quickly went viral, where
00:03:47.300 you could hear a suspect claiming there was a DEA operation ongoing.
00:03:52.020 Later, a convoy of five cars can be seen leaving the area with ease, but down the road, a trap
00:03:58.680 was being set.
00:04:01.060 As the convoy traveled down Kenskoff Road, a roadblock was ready.
00:04:06.560 Heavily armed security forces would not let them pass without a fight.
00:04:11.440 and seeing they couldn't go any further,
00:04:13.540 the convoy stops, part of which you can see here.
00:04:16.820 Our source says the suspects jumped out
00:04:19.320 and saw this building across the road.
00:04:22.020 They raced toward it,
00:04:23.240 immediately taking the stairs to the second floor.
00:04:26.580 So to be very clear about this,
00:04:27.960 the hit squad consisting of Colombian mercenaries
00:04:30.720 and some Haitians drove up in a convoy,
00:04:34.520 two vans and three pickup trucks,
00:04:36.300 to the president's heavily fortified private residence
00:04:39.280 around one o'clock in the morning on a Wednesday.
00:04:41.440 they got on a megaphone and announced that this is a DEA operation. Do not leave the house. I
00:04:46.960 repeat, we are DEA agents. And if you leave the house, you'll be shot. And they're wearing fake 0.96
00:04:51.940 DEA tactical vests to really sell the ruse. And in response to this situation, the president's
00:04:58.360 security detail consisting of around 10 people simply decide to let the fake DEA agents into
00:05:05.000 the president's home. They were fooled, I guess, by the party city costumes. And they don't ask
00:05:10.220 any questions. They don't verify anyone's identity. Reportedly, at this time of night,
00:05:15.320 the guards were typically asleep or playing with their phones, so they were never going to offer
00:05:20.380 much resistance. They really make the Secret Service agents at Butler look highly competent,
00:05:26.380 look like dedicated bodyguards by comparison. And then after the mercenaries shoot the president
00:05:31.160 to death and nearly kill his wife, they take a couple of these guards hostage and attempt to
00:05:36.460 escape. But they didn't get very far. As you heard, they holed up a building. They began frantically
00:05:41.820 texting their handlers overseas, looking for an escape route or, you know, some backup. Then there
00:05:47.700 was a shootout after the police fired tear gas into the building. Some of the assassins escaped
00:05:51.420 to the nearby Taiwanese embassy, while others went to a different building. All of them were
00:05:55.720 eventually arrested or killed by Haiti's police force. And that was the story that we were told
00:06:01.760 at the time. Now, what we didn't know until this week is the specific detail about who exactly
00:06:09.500 financed these mercenaries and who organized their mission and for what purpose. To this point,
00:06:15.500 many details have been released primarily through various criminal trials and investigations.
00:06:20.540 But now we have much more information about the full list of co-conspirators and more detail about
00:06:26.300 the financing for the operation in particular. A lot of this information comes from WhatsApp
00:06:30.940 messages that were uncovered by the feds yet another reminder that if you think any encrypted
00:06:35.920 messaging app is secure um then you're wrong it's definitely not but anyway watch now to a major
00:06:43.840 development in the assassination of haiti's president five years after president jovenel
00:06:48.280 moise was gunned down at his home federal prosecutors in florida have now indicted 30
00:06:53.020 people accused of helping plan finance and carry out the plot investigators say colombian mercenaries
00:06:59.080 posing as DEA agents stormed the president's residency, and prosecutors now allege U.S.-based
00:07:04.500 companies help fund and support the operation. And then there's that indictment that alleges that
00:07:09.220 there was a substantial U.S. connection with U.S. companies and how the operation was financed. Can
00:07:14.720 you tell us a little bit of that? Yeah, and so one big thing that we've learned, again, not totally
00:07:17.900 new but more highlighted by the government here, is some of the way that they actually financed
00:07:21.900 this operation by hiring some of these people was using what they would call fraudulent COVID money.
00:07:27.200 So you remember after COVID started, small businesses could apply for those loans, get money from the government.
00:07:32.740 Well, what is alleged in this indictment, again, that we've heard before, but is now highlighted further in this indictment,
00:07:37.420 is that those loans were being used to fund this operation.
00:07:41.280 So pretty interesting stuff there laid out by the government.
00:07:44.180 And it will be interesting to hear from these Colombians themselves.
00:07:47.480 So he delivers this news in a very matter of fact tone, as if we shouldn't be surprised by this.
00:07:52.960 But this is truly unbelievable stuff.
00:07:56.120 Let's pull up the indictment that was just unsealed.
00:08:00.200 Quote, CTU Security LLC was a company in the state of Florida with listed addresses located in Doral, Florida and Miami, Florida.
00:08:08.060 They purported to operate as a personal protection and security company.
00:08:12.080 In exchange for future infrastructure and security contracts, the CTU companies utilizing PPP and COVID disaster loan proceeds recruited, hired and otherwise materially provided for Colombian mercenaries and others.
00:08:24.180 participated in a planned coup in Haiti, including the planned killing or kidnapping
00:08:29.900 of the president. So the motive is supposedly that the people running these businesses were
00:08:35.920 hoping to get future infrastructure and security contracts in Haiti. And they were going to do
00:08:41.400 that by removing Haiti's president and installing someone who would funnel them a lot of government
00:08:46.120 contracts. Initially, the plan was apparently to kidnap the president and fly him out of the
00:08:50.180 country, but they gave up on that idea when they realized that they had nowhere to put them. So
00:08:54.460 they just killed them instead. A lot easier, I guess. In other words, the plan here was to 1.00
00:08:58.920 defraud the US government in order to fund an operation to kill Haiti's president so that they
00:09:03.000 could then defraud Haiti's government for even more money. So really next level, this is like
00:09:09.920 fraud inception going on here. Most COVID fraudsters were content to just steal hundreds
00:09:15.300 of thousands of dollars, but these COVID fraudsters, they drain much bigger. I mean,
00:09:20.960 they had ambition. You got to give them that at least. They saw the initial fraud as a down payment
00:09:25.340 on the bigger fraud. Now, the indictment mentions another Florida company, Worldwide Investment
00:09:31.340 Development Group, LLC, which is the company that allegedly got the fraud started. And here's how
00:09:36.640 the scheme worked, according to the DOJ. The conspirators used shell companies with names
00:09:41.520 like Dragon's Play and Agatha Construction to get hundreds of thousands of dollars from the
00:09:47.660 federal government under the COVID programs, no questions asked. They fabricated payrolls and
00:09:54.000 employees and no one in the federal government noticed or cared, of course. The money was wired
00:09:59.600 to them almost immediately. Worldwide then used some of this money to extend a $175,000 line of
00:10:05.900 credit to CTU, which was earmarked for military equipment, including ballistic vests for private
00:10:11.160 military forces in Haiti. A principal of Worldwide also allegedly, quote, paid $9,000 to fund the
00:10:17.440 travel of approximately 18 Colombian nationals with military training to Haiti, as well as $15,000
00:10:23.860 for ammunition. Now, at one point, the head of CTU allegedly told Frederick Bergman, he was a
00:10:30.800 Florida businessman, that he has an idea. He was going to ship the bulletproof vests for the hit
00:10:37.160 squad from Florida to Haiti by claiming that they're paintball protection vests. And Bergman
00:10:42.920 then offers an alternative idea, quote, I don't think they'll have any problem having my research
00:10:47.020 company ship x-ray protective vests. So that's what they decided to do. They managed to convince
00:10:53.640 the customs that they were sending dozens of x-ray protective vests. And apparently that didn't raise
00:10:59.760 any eyebrows whatsoever. I guess they thought it was totally normal for someone, you know,
00:11:04.240 getting an x-ray to need ammunition pouches and ballistic hard plates. So the Florida companies
00:11:10.600 take the stolen money, they ship the mercenaries to Haiti, and then they ship them the ballistic
00:11:15.860 vests as well. They're able to source the firearms themselves from the local black market in Haiti,
00:11:21.420 but evidently it was harder to get the ballistic vests that looked like something the DEA would
00:11:25.400 wear. So they use CTU's expertise to procure the vests in the U.S. and then ship them overseas.
00:11:31.720 The night before the assassination, the conspirators met up, distributed all the equipment, and then they executed the plan.
00:11:39.100 Now, the result of this assassination was that Haiti has been thrown even further into turmoil.
00:11:46.500 I mean, it's been in turmoil for decades already, but even more so with gang violence, even more so dominating the country.
00:11:54.540 It's not safe to travel anywhere or even more unsafe than it already was.
00:12:02.300 They still haven't replaced the president with an elected successor or filled the parliament or held any kind of election.
00:12:08.840 So it's worse than ever, which, again, is really saying something in Haiti.
00:12:13.760 And to make matters more interesting, the defense's argument is that they were acting on lawful orders from a Haitian judge, and they thought they had the approval of the U.S. government.
00:12:23.160 This is from the New York Times.
00:12:24.140 Quote, jurors heard evidence that Archangel Preddle, a, probably not Archangel, that's probably not how you pronounce that, Angel, probably, Archangel, it doesn't matter, we'll just call him Preddle, a principal of CTU, was a longtime FBI informant who earned $138,000 over a decade providing information to the FBI and DEA.
00:12:46.400 prosecutors told jurors that Mr. Preddle never informed the FBI handlers of the plot to kill
00:12:52.700 the president. The defense attorney said evidence showing that Mr. Preddle had introduced some of
00:12:57.420 the co-defendants to two FBI handlers proved that his client thought he was participating
00:13:02.060 in a lawful operation. You don't invite your FBI handler to your murder plot,
00:13:07.840 the defense attorney said. So it seems they're raising the prospect that the PPP funds were
00:13:13.600 maybe deliberately laundered from the government to these hitmen to carry out some kind of
00:13:18.820 CIA operation. Who knows? What's clear, though, and what's important to understand about this plot
00:13:26.020 is that at any point, if we had a remotely competent federal government, this would have
00:13:32.240 been shut down. All it took was for someone in the government, maybe the customs officers checking
00:13:37.140 the x-ray vests or, you know, maybe someone checking the payrolls at the web of fake companies.
00:13:43.820 Really, this is anywhere along the line, just anyone at all needed to notice that something
00:13:48.520 wasn't quite right. This was not a plan hatched by geniuses, after all. There were many potential
00:13:56.500 failure points along the way, and many red flags were raised and none of them were noticed.
00:14:01.840 And instead, this assassination took place five years ago, and we're only learning some very
00:14:06.940 important details in 2026. That should make you wonder once again about what happened in Butler
00:14:13.560 when Donald Trump was shot in the head. Given the incompetence that was displayed by the Secret
00:14:18.360 Service on that day, and of course by incompetence, I'm assuming for the sake of argument that it was
00:14:23.060 not a setup, even though we can't assume that. It's not a stretch to wonder if we missed an
00:14:28.780 obvious foreign connection to that assassination. We talked about this last week, and I'm not going
00:14:35.180 or re-litigate all the open questions about the member of the foreign terror group who was in
00:14:40.800 direct communication with Thomas Crooks. But these are very real questions, and the situation in
00:14:46.200 Haiti is yet another reminder of that fact. But more broadly, this is a story about the butterfly
00:14:51.960 effect that's caused by massive, unmitigated fraud. It has effects that most people don't
00:14:58.400 even realize, including effects on foreign affairs. But this has become a normal part of
00:15:04.240 our country in no small part because we've imported so many people from the third world 1.00
00:15:08.180 where this kind of dysfunction is just commonplace now no matter what state you're in you're going 1.00
00:15:15.220 to notice rampant fraud in about five minutes once you start looking this is um new reporting
00:15:20.460 from the main wire for example listen we're here at this office facility that has what did you say
00:15:27.800 eight home health care agencies in a small little hallway registered 612 area code minnesota phone
00:15:35.580 number please your message for 6127590102 just wondering why a home health care agency
00:15:45.620 in westbrook maine would have a minneapolis minnesota phone number we're just doing some
00:15:51.440 investigating reporting so when you get this message if you give me a call back i would
00:15:55.820 appreciate it. Thank you. So a legitimate home health care based in Westbrook, Maine with a
00:16:02.720 Minneapolis phone number, shouldn't it have a voicemail set up? You would think so if they were
00:16:06.900 soliciting customers or wanted to grow their business. Please leave your message for 2074084.
00:16:14.600 But just so people understand, Westbrook, Maine is a suburb of Portland, Maine. This is a small
00:16:21.700 office complex with multiple home health care agencies it's the middle of the work day
00:16:28.520 and nobody's answering their phones or or is here the same outlet the main wire just reported some
00:16:37.200 new details on an alleged scheme to funnel medicaid money from arizona to rwanda quote
00:16:43.900 two men accused of collecting more than 60 million dollars from arizona's medicaid program
00:16:48.380 for non-existent or incomplete addiction and mental health treatment face mandatory prison
00:16:53.500 time if convicted of major fraud charges in a case that allegedly sent millions through a Phoenix
00:16:58.560 area church and onward to Rwanda. Prosecutors allege Desire Ruzingswa and Fabrice, however
00:17:07.020 you pronounce the last name, used Happy House Behavioral Health LLC to bill taxpayers for
00:17:12.060 patients who were dead, incarcerated, or hospitalized, among other false or excessive
00:17:17.680 claims. Prosecutors say that Happy House collected more than $60 million for false or inflated
00:17:24.240 treatment claims and paid $5.5 million to a church. The 51-count indictment describes a
00:17:30.340 referral operation involving 11 sober living companies and alleges that Happy House paid
00:17:35.120 $5.5 million to Hope of Life International Church. Its pastor, Theodore...
00:17:42.060 Mukerunyana, we'll go with that, is accused of helping transfer more than $2 million to an unnamed entity in Rwanda.
00:17:51.640 And of course, this is just the fraud that prosecutors manage to uncover.
00:17:55.600 We can assume that for every fraud scheme that the government detects, there are about, you know, a million approximately that no one ever notices.
00:18:04.140 Especially since most major jurisdictions in this country now go out of their way to not notice them, to protect not only criminals, but also terrorists.
00:18:12.060 Now I couldn't believe this was real
00:18:14.840 But it is
00:18:15.780 It was flagged by a reporter for Town Hall
00:18:18.940 So take a look at this
00:18:21.540 Quote
00:18:21.800 Arlington County, Virginia
00:18:24.340 Prohibits cooperation with ICE
00:18:26.060 Even in cases involving felons and terrorists
00:18:29.300 Arlington County's latest trust policy
00:18:32.400 Prohibits Arlington County Police Department
00:18:34.240 From initiating contact
00:18:35.500 With federal immigration authorities
00:18:37.420 Even when the department identifies
00:18:38.920 An illegal alien as a violent felon
00:18:41.160 gang member, human trafficker, or terrorist. So if police in Arlington uncovered a plot to murder,
00:18:49.540 say, the president of Haiti, under this policy, they probably couldn't do anything about it.
00:18:55.520 After all, it's not a state-level crime, and if they tell the feds, then they'd be violating the
00:19:00.580 trust policy they've established, which has the express purpose of protecting terrorists
00:19:04.640 from deportation. This is the general attitude that leftist states have adopted. Criminals,
00:19:11.480 even terrorists, can do whatever they want. The result is that these degenerates are now 0.95
00:19:16.500 more brazen than they've ever been. Lately, I was thinking back to the extraordinary story of
00:19:21.840 a woman named Tamika Good, who we've talked about before. If you remember, she's the black woman 0.74
00:19:29.240 who sold fake counseling services on TikTok, 0.92
00:19:33.460 even though all counseling services are kind of fake.
00:19:35.660 And one day she decided to move
00:19:36.980 into a $2 million mansion in Maryland
00:19:38.820 that had recently been foreclosed on,
00:19:41.100 even though it wasn't her house, she didn't live there.
00:19:44.160 She just moved in.
00:19:45.720 And then she just looked at the house and said,
00:19:47.600 I'll take that one.
00:19:48.760 I'll have that house.
00:19:50.280 Thank you.
00:19:51.520 And after several months, 0.96
00:19:52.900 she was finally arrested and put on trial.
00:19:54.680 And to fight the charges, 0.99
00:19:55.860 she retained the single worst lawyer who's ever existed.
00:19:59.240 in any country, in any time period. And then this lawyer went on television and managed to tank not 0.55
00:20:04.320 only Tameka Good's defense, as meager as it might be, but also his entire legal career
00:20:09.620 and his reputation and his dignity, if he had any of those things to begin with, which he didn't,
00:20:15.660 watch. Look, there's a question. It's really the number one question on everybody's mind.
00:20:21.220 How would your client, Mr. Tameka Good, get inside a $2.3 million property?
00:20:26.220 Cut. I don't know if I can answer that, allegedly. Can I cut? We're rolling. I mean, we're rolling,
00:20:40.040 my friend. Can you re-ask the question? Sure, absolutely. So the number one question on
00:20:57.900 everybody's mind is how your client, Ms. D'Amica Good, got into a $2.3 million property.
00:21:04.160 Well, Ms. Good did her research. She found out that a certain property was under the control
00:21:18.760 of a certain group and that there was a title issue. Due to the title issue, she was able to
00:21:25.680 assume the property under squatters' rights. So in Maryland, there isn't a particular squatter
00:21:33.420 right. Am I missing something? Well, it's not a particular squatter's right, but it's known as
00:21:37.580 squatter's right. You know, with a crack representation like this, it's probably not
00:21:42.480 surprising that Tamika Good was ultimately convicted tragically for trespassing and
00:21:47.220 breaking and entering. But she served just 11 days in jail before posting a bond. And then after
00:21:52.320 leaving jail, she simply moved right back into the mansion as if nothing had happened and nobody
00:21:58.380 stopped her. Now, this is a very important lesson to draw from this story, which is why I keep coming
00:22:03.020 back to it, other than the fact that it's kind of hilarious in a morbid way. And the lesson is
00:22:08.460 simple. The most brazen criminals, the ones who openly defy the law and social norms and common
00:22:14.180 decency, are, these days anyway, the most effective ones, because that's the society we have
00:22:21.100 established. Whatever the reason, you can blame the civil rights era, racial guilt, liberal wine
00:22:27.140 Moms, Take Your Pick, all of the above, our justice system simply does not crack down on 0.98
00:22:33.120 unapologetic criminals, especially when they're non-white fraudsters. And these are precisely the 1.00
00:22:39.820 people who we should be cracking down on. They should be thrown into the nearest dungeon, but
00:22:44.740 instead, if they're punished at all, they get a slap on the wrist, and then they're sent out and
00:22:48.220 sent right back to doing what they were doing before. As a result, there's an arms race among
00:22:52.120 fraudsters in this country as they compete to one-up themselves and do increasingly insane
00:22:57.040 and outrageous things while also being completely confident that the government isn't going to do
00:23:01.180 anything about it. You know, healthcare is one of the only things you buy where nobody seems
00:23:05.680 particularly interested in telling you what it costs until after you've already bought it.
00:23:10.340 You go to the doctor, everyone does whatever they're going to do. You go home and then a few
00:23:15.120 weeks later an envelope arrives containing a number that may or may not bear any relationship
00:23:19.180 to reality. And meanwhile, traditional health insurance has become incredibly expensive. If
00:23:23.700 you're a Christian wondering whether there's another way to approach all this, well, then you
00:23:29.020 should know about Christian Healthcare Ministries, or CHM. CHM is not health insurance. It's a health
00:23:35.140 cost-sharing ministry where Christians come together to share the burden of eligible medical
00:23:40.080 bills. It's really a very old idea. When someone in your community needs help, you help them.
00:23:46.680 It's that simple.
00:23:47.260 CHM has been putting that principle into practice since 1981.
00:23:50.820 They've satisfied 100% of every eligible bill received.
00:23:54.740 Programs start as low as $115 per person per month
00:23:57.700 with added protection available for catastrophic medical events.
00:24:01.540 If you're tired of looking at the healthcare system
00:24:03.560 and wondering how any of this is supposed to be sustainable,
00:24:06.500 take a look at a simpler biblical alternative
00:24:09.260 that's been serving Christians for more than four decades.
00:24:11.820 Get started today by visiting chministries.org slash Walsh.
00:24:16.140 That's chministries.org slash Walsh.
00:24:20.840 An MBA shouldn't be an expensive way to learn the word scalability.
00:24:25.160 It should help you lead people and build something worthwhile in the process.
00:24:29.420 What I respect about Grand Canyon University is its commitment to free and open discourse.
00:24:34.720 Students should have to defend their ideas about business and the free market,
00:24:38.720 not just repeat whatever earns the safest grade.
00:24:41.820 GCU's online students also received nearly $200 million in institutional scholarships in 2025 that helps make private higher education more accessible.
00:24:51.220 They say higher education is outdated, irrelevant, but at Grand Canyon University, they don't settle for the status quo.
00:24:57.360 They shatter it.
00:24:58.540 GCU's accredited MBA program is 100% online and is designed to shape leaders through servant leadership.
00:25:05.400 GCU can help you take your passion and scale your business to serve your community.
00:25:10.140 This is Purpose Driven Education. Take action. Find your purpose. Grand Canyon University. Visit gcu.edu.
00:25:19.600 Now, going back to the Paycheck Protection Program, of the $4.2 trillion that were dispersed in COVID relief money, so-called,
00:25:29.920 some of the most conservative estimates are that around $200 billion of that amount was stolen outright.
00:25:37.520 Uh, as the author Cremeau has found some of these, uh, loans obviously should have been scrutinized, you know, a little bit more carefully, um, to put it mildly, you can see some of the PPP loans that were approved on your screen right now, something called Dodge Hellcat, which we mentioned earlier, got $13,000.
00:25:59.500 Then there's Reparations for Indigenous People, LLC.
00:26:04.200 They received $55,000.
00:26:07.080 And we can't forget about Free Money, LLC.
00:26:11.100 About as brazen as you can be, $15,000.
00:26:14.000 Traffic Tickets, $20,000.
00:26:16.860 And Jigga Vibes, $7,500.
00:26:20.680 And then Wakanda Merkledove with more than $20,000.
00:26:26.100 dollars. Now, for all I know, these are real companies with extremely strange names.
00:26:33.560 Jigga Vibes, that could be a real company. That sounds legitimate. But what we do know,
00:26:39.280 without any doubt, is that the federal government was not looking into any of this. This was a
00:26:44.820 rubber stamp operation. As with literally everything else the government does, this
00:26:49.360 program was incompetently managed, and it wasted a very large amount of your money,
00:26:53.980 and fraudsters who have no shame and no dignity
00:26:57.060 took full advantage of it.
00:27:00.480 That's what happens when you have trillions of dollars
00:27:03.100 you're just offering up for free
00:27:04.480 without any checks,
00:27:06.380 without any system in place
00:27:09.460 to scrutinize anything.
00:27:11.580 The only thing stopping anyone from just stealing
00:27:14.100 is their own sense of shame.
00:27:16.120 It's just their own dignity as a person.
00:27:18.580 Now, you would think if you're a person with some dignity,
00:27:21.720 even if you can steal,
00:27:23.100 you're not going to. But what do you do when you have imported into your country a bunch of people 1.00
00:27:28.480 who have no shame and no dignity, and in their culture, just stealing whatever you can is 1.00
00:27:33.980 par for the course? What happens? Well, what happens is exactly what did happen.
00:27:39.840 Some of the more egregious examples, short of Haitian assassination plots anyway,
00:27:44.260 were uncovered not by the DOJ or the FBI, but by Alex Stein, who put together a documentary on PPP
00:27:49.620 fraud as he demonstrates for a very large demographic in this country defrauding the
00:27:53.800 government is just a way of life they're open about it like i said they're totally shameless
00:27:57.320 they'll talk about it on the street uh they'll make rap songs about it watch did y'all ever get
00:28:04.920 a ppp loan i wish i got one but i didn't so tell the people what you think about all those people
00:28:09.780 doing fraud was that good or bad i mean i'm gonna be completely honest with y'all get the government
00:28:16.040 for all they got. 1.00
00:28:17.020 S***, f*** it. 1.00
00:28:18.440 They making it hard for us. 1.00
00:28:20.080 Why not?
00:28:20.720 Who do you know
00:28:21.300 that committed PPP fraud
00:28:23.060 back in 2021?
00:28:24.940 I had a couple people.
00:28:25.860 I know a couple people
00:28:26.480 that did it.
00:28:27.080 And if I could have did it myself,
00:28:28.300 I would have did it too.
00:28:29.120 Then there's a case
00:28:29.760 of 39-year-old Andre Lurquette,
00:28:32.020 also of Miami,
00:28:33.120 who's serving time
00:28:33.860 for taking $4.4 million
00:28:35.620 in a fraudulent PPP scheme.
00:28:38.040 He was a one-man stimulus program,
00:28:40.380 spending the money
00:28:40.960 on a Lamborghini,
00:28:41.940 a Porsche,
00:28:42.580 two Teslas,
00:28:43.260 a diamond watch,
00:28:44.220 custom jewelry,
00:28:45.040 gold change,
00:28:45.560 and 70 carats of diamonds.
00:28:48.500 All right, Jeff, we're heading to the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel.
00:28:52.220 Another big spender was former NFL wide receiver Joshua Bellamy,
00:28:55.720 who received $1.2 million in a fraudulent PPP scheme.
00:29:01.420 According to his indictment, he bought jewelry and spent $60,000
00:29:05.580 on a stay at Fort Lauderdale's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
00:29:09.500 According to the feds, PPP loans paid for vacations to Florida,
00:29:13.200 expensive meals, and vacation homes.
00:29:15.560 One guy in Georgia spent $57,000 on a mint-conditioned Pokemon card. 0.69
00:29:20.880 And one woman in Miami used her PPP cash to hire a hitman
00:29:24.140 who actually filmed himself counting the money.
00:29:28.000 Even more flamboyant than the social media posts
00:29:30.060 was the emerging genre of PPP-related rap music.
00:29:37.980 The songs and music videos have racked up millions of views.
00:29:41.560 One rapper named Nuke Bizzle dropped an entire track
00:29:47.580 about getting rich off COVID-era unemployment benefits.
00:29:55.060 Just an unmitigated disaster for the entire country.
00:30:00.300 We pumped trillions of dollars into the economy,
00:30:02.620 causing inflation and a massive increase in the cost of living
00:30:05.820 that we're still seeing today.
00:30:07.060 We destroyed people's lives, including the lives of children, 0.97
00:30:09.960 based on junk science.
00:30:10.960 And on top of that, we managed to light hundreds of billions of dollars on fire for the benefit of scam artists who don't even hide what they're doing.
00:30:19.340 The scale of the fraud was truly staggering.
00:30:23.540 At some level, you have to sit back in awe. 1.00
00:30:25.520 I mean, fraudsters, many of them black, as you probably noticed, were coming up with absurd names for fake businesses and walking away with insane amounts of money. 1.00
00:30:33.700 They're walking into mansions and asserting squatters' rights, even after they've been arrested. 1.00
00:30:38.300 And seeing all this, you had to ask, if only out of morbid curiosity, where do we go from here?
00:30:46.320 How are they going to top this?
00:30:49.020 I mean, how do you one-up Dodge Charger LLC?
00:30:52.560 How do you one-up buying a hitman with your COVID money or a Pokemon card?
00:30:58.460 And then the president of Haiti gets mowed down by a bunch of assassins hired with PPP money,
00:31:03.300 and you realize just how bad things can get.
00:31:05.380 Now, a big part of the problem is whenever there's an attempt to actually enforce the law, that is to punish criminals who don't even have a right to be in this country in the first place, the left immediately runs interference.
00:31:16.860 They take to the streets and everyone else cowers before them.
00:31:20.300 We're now seeing this familiar posture play out once again in Austin, Texas, where an apparent illegal alien named Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez was just shot by ICE, supposedly while he was completing a DoorDash delivery.
00:31:35.780 Here's some video that was shot from a cell phone before the incident and then shortly after.
00:31:41.240 So you can try to piece it together. Watch.
00:31:43.520 And all your friends, all the Masons, I was nice to you guys, like, way back when. 0.97
00:31:50.260 Holy. 0.96
00:31:52.820 Woo!
00:31:54.720 Whoa.
00:31:55.880 Oh, my God.
00:31:58.560 Holy.
00:32:00.040 Dude.
00:32:00.820 Oh, my God.
00:32:05.380 hey guys why you do that to him why you do that to him
00:32:28.260 you're not supposed to be do that to him man
00:32:35.380 so the locals are restless even though it's very difficult to make out what exactly happened it
00:32:51.360 looks as though he led ice on a vehicle pursuit since he knew he was an illegal alien obviously
00:32:56.000 and then the officer shoots the guy apparently because he was still trying to drive away and
00:33:00.080 potentially backwards into the officer this is one of the reasons that you shouldn't evade the
00:33:04.980 police while you're driving a car, or really, even if you're not in a car, but especially in a car,
00:33:10.540 because you see cars are deadly weapons. And when you start moving them towards police officers,
00:33:15.080 you become a deadly threat. At any point in this situation, this guy could have simply
00:33:21.260 followed the law, but he didn't. And now the left is rushing, of course, to defend them.
00:33:27.180 For example, one of the Pod Save America guys offered this take,
00:33:31.800 quote oh my god i shot this unarmed man in the back while he was delivering food 24 hours later
00:33:38.280 the bullet is still lodged in his back and they refused his pleas for pain medication
00:33:42.160 he entered the country legally and had a valid work permit now first of all a lot of these claims
00:33:48.200 are based on statements from this guy's lawyer who presumably is ngo funded in some way the lawyer is
00:33:54.640 not a credible source of information she's contradicted herself several times but even
00:33:58.600 if we take our claim seriously, and even if we believe that the guy entered the country legally
00:34:02.640 and had a valid work permit, none of that would even matter. You see, having a work permit
00:34:07.160 does not grant you the right to remain in this country, nor does it matter if you entered legally
00:34:13.320 if you then overstay your visa. These are simple concepts, but over and over again,
00:34:18.200 the left pretends not to understand them because in the end, what they want, obviously, is open
00:34:22.940 borders. They don't actually care about this random guy or whether the shooting was justified
00:34:26.620 or any of the facts of what happened.
00:34:28.680 They think all immigration enforcement
00:34:30.340 is tantamount to fascism,
00:34:31.660 so they'll lie about everything. 1.00
00:34:33.700 They'll run cover for the foreign criminals 1.00
00:34:35.340 who are degrading our quality of life 1.00
00:34:36.880 and destroying our country.
00:34:38.760 And all the while,
00:34:40.120 they won't say anything at all
00:34:41.420 about DoorDash employing illegal aliens,
00:34:43.820 which is against the law.
00:34:46.280 I mean, honestly,
00:34:46.700 the company should be investigated
00:34:47.900 and shut down over this
00:34:49.120 until they can ensure
00:34:49.960 that they aren't paying illegals. 0.71
00:34:52.480 In a legitimate society, 0.87
00:34:53.880 that's what would happen.
00:34:54.640 But we've all experienced this. We've all ordered food from DoorDash and had this experience. They tell you that a normal American driver with a name like Susan is on the way with your burrito and her Toyota Corolla. And then a military-aged Pakistani shows up to your home on a bike or something.
00:35:11.760 And the reason this happens is because people sell their DoorDash credentials online. 0.98
00:35:17.640 They sign up with a social security number, then they sell the credentials to foreigners,
00:35:22.520 many of them illegal aliens, sort of like the old taxi cab medallion system.
00:35:27.140 And DoorDash knows this is happening. 0.92
00:35:28.580 It's a core part of their business model, actually.
00:35:31.040 Their app doesn't punish it or monitor it, and they need to suffer consequences as a result. 0.53
00:35:36.900 So does every other company that knowingly employs illegal aliens. 0.79
00:35:41.760 If that happens, we will solve the illegal immigration problem overnight.
00:35:47.740 Leftists would rather muddy the waters by pretending ICE had no reason to shoot this
00:35:51.280 particular DoorDash driver, because if you're talking about that, then you're missing the
00:35:54.940 much bigger and more important issue at hand.
00:35:59.740 The midterms are not just one national race.
00:36:02.660 There are dozens of individual contests, each reacting to its own headlines and developments.
00:36:06.960 In Maine, Troy Jackson and Susan Collins are competing in one of Calci's most actively
00:36:11.480 traded Senate markets, track the race live in Kalshi's midterms hub, and trade the outcome
00:36:16.320 you believe will happen. A correct contract is worth $1 at settlement. Don't just watch the
00:36:21.720 race. Take your position on Kalshi. Use code DAILY, D-A-I-L-Y, to get up to $25 when you trade

00:36:49.840 slash regulatory. Now, the best possible response to these people once we're done enforcing the law
00:36:55.180 and deporting every illegal alien without apology is to be honest about what we're seeing every day 0.92
00:37:00.740 in our own communities. You know, we should talk about what life is actually like with and without 0.99
00:37:07.260 the wonders of diversity, quote unquote. That's one way to assess the merits or lack thereof of
00:37:13.320 the left's ideological experiment. You know, I was thinking about this the other day because
00:37:17.560 a few days ago, my kids set up a farm stand right off of our driveway with extra vegetables from
00:37:25.680 our garden. And it was an unmanned stand. They listed the price for each item of produce and
00:37:32.180 they put out a box for people to leave the money. Now, I would have happily just given the vegetables
00:37:36.080 away for free, but this was for the kids and it was a good way for them to earn a little cash.
00:37:40.800 And the next day, you know, they set up the stand. The next day, all the produce had been purchased
00:37:45.240 and in the box was actually more money than what should have been there because neighbors were
00:37:51.460 coming by apparently and they were paying extra, you know, just to be nice. Now, my neighborhood
00:37:56.560 is homogenous, almost entirely white, high trust, basically crime-free. So we assumed that the kids 0.88
00:38:04.280 could set up a stand like that and everybody else would just be decent and honest and not rob us
00:38:09.580 blind. And our assumption was correct. Now, what would have happened if we set up the same
00:38:17.400 unmanned farm stand in a quote-unquote diverse neighborhood? What if we set it up in a neighborhood
00:38:24.940 with, say, a large population of Haitian immigrants? Well, we all know exactly what
00:38:32.100 would have happened. The next day, all of the produce would be gone along with the box of money
00:38:37.580 and probably the table and the crates of the crates, the vegetables were in. All of it will
00:38:42.520 be gone. Not even like the next day, but within hours. And we all know that. What this demonstrates
00:38:50.340 is that it is actually possible to have a society where you can basically trust the people around
00:38:56.820 you to be decent and honest and to some extent at least to look out for your interests. That's not
00:39:03.860 a utopia. You can actually have, people aren't going to be perfect, like some crime is still
00:39:08.200 going to happen, but you can live in a society where people are basically honest and decent and
00:39:12.800 you can basically trust people. This country was built as such a society. It wasn't just
00:39:18.900 pockets of decent neighborhoods here and there that are more the exception than the rule like
00:39:24.440 it is now. That used to be how the country as a whole operated. But then we prioritized diversity
00:39:31.540 over stability and safety and trust and all of the things that are a million times more important
00:39:37.540 and a million times more conducive to human well-being than diversity. We've allowed foreigners 0.99
00:39:44.240 to take advantage of us for generations, and every single one of us has seen our quality of life 1.00
00:39:48.180 decline as a result. Our tolerance has been abused to the point that we're now inadvertently
00:39:55.180 funding foreign political assassinations. Americans in Austin have to deal with foreigners running 0.97
00:40:00.400 away from the police and endangering everybody on the road. People in Arizona are being forced 0.98
00:40:03.780 to send their money to undisclosed groups in Rwanda. Toothpaste is stashed behind plexiglass
00:40:09.620 at the CVS in Chicago or, you know, any other city. In order for any of this to change,
00:40:15.900 We don't need just a fraud task force or a handful of prosecutions.
