Latest / The Matt Walsh Show / SHOCKING This Is The Worst Example Of Covid Fraud And It's Not Even Close
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: If you happen to live through the disgraceful Paycheck Protection Program,
- 0:04Speaker 1: as I think all of us did, the fraud of
- 0:07Speaker 1: the COVID era where criminals collectively received hundreds of billions
- 0:11Speaker 1: of dollars to fund fake companies with really believable names
- 0:15Speaker 1: like Dodge Hellcat LLC and Pay My Parking Tickets LLP
- 0:20Speaker 1: and Wakanda Forever PC, my personal favorite, then you might
- 0:24Speaker 1: be wondering how things could get any worse when it
- 0:26Speaker 1: comes to the rampant theft of your tax dollars. I mean,
- 0:31Speaker 1: expectations are at the rock bottom right now. Every time
- 0:34Speaker 1: you get your paycheck and you see how much has
- 0:36Speaker 1: been taken out, you immediately and correctly assume that your
- 0:39Speaker 1: money has simply been stolen to pay for some Somali
- 0:43Speaker 1: daycare or a leering center or maybe a home healthcare
- 0:47Speaker 1: business that shares an office space with 500 other home
- 0:50Speaker 1: healthcare businesses, all of them empty. This is the default
- 0:54Speaker 1: assumption right now. So it really doesn't seem particularly conceivable
- 0:57Speaker 1: that we'd uncover even more egregious fraud in that somehow
- 1:00Speaker 1: makes us stand up and take note. We're also jaded
- 1:04Speaker 1: that it's pretty hard to imagine any kind of fraud
- 1:06Speaker 1: that generates a real reaction from anybody at this point.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And then this story comes out, which somehow manages to
- 1:13Speaker 1: defy all of our expectations, proving once again that as
- 1:17Speaker 1: bad as things are, they can always get worse. So
- 1:21Speaker 1: that's the good news. This week, courtesy of an indictment
- 1:23Speaker 1: from the DOJ, we've learned that Many more details about
- 1:27Speaker 1: how your tax dollars laundered through COVID payments directly financed
- 1:31Speaker 1: an international political assassination with the help of dozens of defendants. Yes,
- 1:36Speaker 1: you heard that correctly. The Paycheck Protection Program was so
- 1:40Speaker 1: poorly monitored and so flagrantly easy to defraud that it
- 1:45Speaker 1: somehow led to at least one documented political assassination overseas.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And not just any political assassination. I'm talking about the
- 1:53Speaker 1: very dramatic assassination of the president of Haiti back in
- 1:57Speaker 1: the summer of 2021. Now, we'll start with news coverage
- 2:01Speaker 1: of the assassination at the time when it happened. This
- 2:04Speaker 1: is one of the most bizarre and also fascinating stories
- 2:08Speaker 1: that no one ever really talks about. It's like one
- 2:10Speaker 1: of those Harrison Ford, Tom Clancy movies from the 90s
- 2:14Speaker 1: in real life. And here's what we were told about
- 2:18Speaker 1: this event. Shortly after it occurred, watch.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Gunfire echoing through Port-au-Prince after the president was assassinated. Then,
- 2:35Speaker 2: just 36 hours after a group of more than two
- 2:38Speaker 2: dozen Colombians and two Haitian-Americans allegedly killed the president, most
- 2:43Speaker 2: would either be detained or declared dead. This is how
- 2:46Speaker 2: that happened. according to a source with knowledge of the operation,
- 2:49Speaker 2: to track them down. Nighttime video from around the time
- 2:56Speaker 2: of the president's death quickly went viral, where you can
- 2:59Speaker 2: hear a suspect claiming there was a DEA operation ongoing. Later,
- 3:04Speaker 2: a convoy of five cars can be seen leaving the
- 3:07Speaker 2: area with ease, but down the road, a trap was
- 3:10Speaker 2: being set. As the convoy traveled down Kenscoff Road, a
- 3:15Speaker 2: roadblock was ready. Heavenly armed security forces would not let
- 3:20Speaker 2: them pass without a fight. Arriving and seeing they couldn't
- 3:24Speaker 2: go any further, the convoy stops, part of which you
- 3:27Speaker 2: can see here. Our source says the suspects jumped out
- 3:31Speaker 2: and saw this building across the road. They raced toward it,
- 3:35Speaker 2: immediately taking the stairs to the second floor.
- 3:38Speaker 1: So to be very clear about this, the hit squad
- 3:40Speaker 1: consisting of Colombian mercenaries and some Haitians drove up in
- 3:45Speaker 1: a convoy, two vans and three pickup trucks, to the
- 3:48Speaker 1: president's heavily fortified private residence around one o'clock in the
- 3:52Speaker 1: morning on Wednesday. They got on a megaphone and announced
- 3:56Speaker 1: that this is a DEA operation. Do not leave the house.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I repeat, we are DEA agents. And if you leave
- 4:01Speaker 1: the house, you'll be shot. And they're wearing fake DEA
- 4:04Speaker 1: tactical vests, you know, to really sell the ruse. And
- 4:08Speaker 1: in response to the situation, the president's security detail consisting
- 4:11Speaker 1: of around 10 people simply decide to let the fake
- 4:15Speaker 1: DEA agents into the president's home. They were fooled, I guess,
- 4:18Speaker 1: by the Party City costumes, and they don't ask any questions.
- 4:23Speaker 1: They don't verify anyone's identity. Reportedly, at this time of night,
- 4:27Speaker 1: the guards were typically asleep or playing with their phones,
- 4:30Speaker 1: so they were never going to offer much resistance. They
- 4:33Speaker 1: really make the Secret Service agents at Butler look highly competent,
- 4:38Speaker 1: look like dedicated bodyguards by comparison. And then after the
- 4:41Speaker 1: mercenaries shoot the president to death and nearly kill his wife,
- 4:45Speaker 1: they take a couple of these guards hostage and attempt
- 4:48Speaker 1: to escape. But they didn't get very far. As you heard,
- 4:51Speaker 1: they hold up a building. They began frantically texting their
- 4:54Speaker 1: handlers overseas looking for an escape route, you know, some backup.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Then there was a shootout after the police fired tear
- 5:01Speaker 1: gas into the building. Some of the assassins escaped to
- 5:03Speaker 1: the nearby Taiwanese embassy, while others went to a different building.
- 5:07Speaker 1: All of them were eventually arrested or killed by Haiti's
- 5:09Speaker 1: police force. And that was the story that we were
- 5:13Speaker 1: told at the time. Now, what we didn't know until
- 5:16Speaker 1: this week is the specific detail about who exactly financed
- 5:22Speaker 1: these mercenaries and who organized their mission and for what purpose.
- 5:26Speaker 1: To this point, many details have been released, primarily through
- 5:30Speaker 1: various criminal trials and investigations. But now we have much
- 5:33Speaker 1: more information about the full list of co-conspirators and more
- 5:37Speaker 1: detail about the financing for the operation in particular. A
- 5:41Speaker 1: lot of this information comes from WhatsApp messages that were
- 5:43Speaker 1: uncovered by the feds. Yet another reminder that if you
- 5:46Speaker 1: think any encrypted messaging app is secure, then you're wrong.
- 5:51Speaker 1: It's definitely not. But anyway, watch.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Now to a major development in the assassination of Haiti's president.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Five years after President Jovenel Moise was gunned down at
- 6:01Speaker 3: his home, federal prosecutors in Florida have now indicted 30
- 6:05Speaker 3: people accused of helping plan, finance and carry out the plot.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Investigators say Colombian mercenaries posing as DEA agents stormed the
- 6:13Speaker 3: president's residency. and prosecutors now allege U.S.-based companies help fund
- 6:17Speaker 3: and support the operation. And then there's that indictment that
- 6:20Speaker 3: alleges that there was a substantial U.S. connection with U.S.
- 6:24Speaker 3: companies and how the operation was financed.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about that?
- 6:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and so one big thing that we've learned, again,
- 6:29Speaker 2: not totally new, but more highlighted by the government here
- 6:31Speaker 2: is some of the way that they actually financed this
- 6:34Speaker 2: operation by hiring some of these people was using what
- 6:37Speaker 2: they would call fraudulent COVID money. So you remember after
- 6:40Speaker 2: COVID started, small businesses could apply for those loans. get
- 6:43Speaker 2: money from the government. Well, what is alleged in this indictment, again,
- 6:46Speaker 2: that we've heard before but is now highlighted further in
- 6:48Speaker 2: this indictment, is that those loans were being used to
- 6:52Speaker 2: fund this operation. So pretty interesting stuff there laid out
- 6:55Speaker 2: by the government, and it will be interesting to hear
- 6:57Speaker 2: from these Colombians themselves.
- 6:59Speaker 1: So he delivers this news in a very matter-of-fact tone,
- 7:03Speaker 1: as if we shouldn't be surprised by this, but this
- 7:05Speaker 1: is truly unbelievable stuff. Let's pull up the indictment that
- 7:09Speaker 1: was just unsealed. Quote, CTU Security LLC was a company
- 7:15Speaker 1: in the state of Florida with listed addresses located in Doral,
- 7:18Speaker 1: Florida and Miami, Florida. They purported to operate as a
- 7:21Speaker 1: personal protection and security company in exchange for future infrastructure
- 7:25Speaker 1: and security contracts. The CTU company is utilizing PPP and
- 7:29Speaker 1: COVID disaster loan proceeds recruited, hired and otherwise materially provided
- 7:34Speaker 1: for Colombian mercenaries and others participated in a planned coup
- 7:38Speaker 1: in Haiti, including the planned killing or kidnapping of of
- 7:42Speaker 1: the president. So the motive is supposedly that the people
- 7:46Speaker 1: running these businesses were hoping to get future infrastructure and
- 7:49Speaker 1: security contracts in Haiti. And they were going to do
- 7:53Speaker 1: that by removing Haiti's president and installing someone who would
- 7:56Speaker 1: funnel them a lot of government contracts. Initially, the plan
- 8:00Speaker 1: was apparently to kidnap the president and fly him out
- 8:01Speaker 1: of the country, but they gave up on that idea
- 8:03Speaker 1: when they realized that they had nowhere to put him.
- 8:06Speaker 1: So they just killed him instead. a lot easier, I guess.
- 8:09Speaker 1: In other words, the plan here was to defraud the
- 8:11Speaker 1: US government in order to fund an operation to kill
- 8:13Speaker 1: Haiti's president so that they could then defraud Haiti's government
- 8:18Speaker 1: for even more money. So really next level, this is
- 8:21Speaker 1: like fraud inception going on here. Most COVID fraudsters were
- 8:25Speaker 1: content to just steal hundreds of thousands of dollars, but
- 8:28Speaker 1: these COVID fraudsters, they drained much bigger. I mean, they
- 8:32Speaker 1: had ambition. You got to give them that at least.
- 8:34Speaker 1: They saw the initial fraud as a down payment on
- 8:38Speaker 1: the bigger fraud. Now, the indictment mentions another Florida company,
- 8:42Speaker 1: Worldwide Investment Development Group, LLC, which is the company that
- 8:45Speaker 1: allegedly got the fraud started. And here's how the scheme worked,
- 8:49Speaker 1: according to the DOJ. The conspirators used shell companies with
- 8:53Speaker 1: names like Dragon's Play and Agatha Construction to get hundreds
- 8:58Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars from the federal government under the
- 9:01Speaker 1: COVID programs, no questions asked. They fabricated payrolls and employees
- 9:06Speaker 1: and No one in the federal government noticed or cared,
- 9:09Speaker 1: of course. The money was wired to them almost immediately.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Worldwide then used some of this money to extend a $ 175, 000
- 9:17Speaker 1: line of credit to CTU, which was earmarked for military equipment,
- 9:20Speaker 1: including ballistic vests for private military forces in Haiti. A
- 9:25Speaker 1: principal of Worldwide also allegedly, quote, paid $ 9, 000 to fund
- 9:29Speaker 1: the travel of approximately 18 Colombian nationals with military training
- 9:34Speaker 1: to Haiti, as well as $ 15, 000 for ammunition. Now, at
- 9:38Speaker 1: one point, the head of CTU allegedly told Frederick Bergman,
- 9:42Speaker 1: who's a Florida businessman, that he has an idea. He
- 9:45Speaker 1: was going to ship the bulletproof vests for the hit
- 9:49Speaker 1: squad from Florida to Haiti by claiming that they're paintball
- 9:52Speaker 1: protection vests. And Bergman then offers an alternative idea, quote,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I don't think they'll have any problem having my research
- 9:58Speaker 1: company ship x-ray protective vests. So that's what they decided
- 10:03Speaker 1: to do. They managed to convince customs that they were
- 10:07Speaker 1: sending dozens of x-ray protective vests, and apparently that didn't
- 10:11Speaker 1: raise any eyebrows whatsoever. I guess they thought it was
- 10:14Speaker 1: totally normal for someone getting an x-ray to need ammunition pouches.
- 10:18Speaker 1: and ballistic hard plates. So the Florida companies take the
- 10:22Speaker 1: stolen money, they ship the mercenaries to Haiti, and then
- 10:26Speaker 1: they ship them the ballistic vests as well. They're able
- 10:29Speaker 1: to source the firearms themselves from the local black market
- 10:32Speaker 1: in Haiti, but evidently it was harder to get the
- 10:34Speaker 1: ballistic vests that looked like something the DEA would wear.
- 10:38Speaker 1: So they use CTU's expertise to procure the vests in
- 10:41Speaker 1: the US and then ship them overseas. The night before
- 10:44Speaker 1: the assassination, the conspirators met up distributed all the equipment,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and then they executed the plan. Now, the result of
- 10:52Speaker 1: this assassination was that Haiti has been thrown even further
- 10:57Speaker 1: into turmoil. I mean, it's been in turmoil for decades already,
- 11:00Speaker 1: but even more so with gang violence, even more so
- 11:05Speaker 1: dominating the country. It's not safe to travel anywhere or
- 11:11Speaker 1: even more unsafe than it already was. They still haven't
- 11:15Speaker 1: replaced the president with an elected successor or filled the
- 11:18Speaker 1: parliament or held any kind of election. So it's worse
- 11:21Speaker 1: than ever, which, again, is really saying something in Haiti.
- 11:26Speaker 1: And to make matters more interesting, the defense's argument is
- 11:28Speaker 1: that they were acting on lawful orders from a Haitian judge,
- 11:32Speaker 1: and they thought they had the approval of the U.S. government.
- 11:35Speaker 1: This is from The New York Times. Quote, jurors heard
- 11:37Speaker 1: evidence that Archangel Pretle, probably not Archangel, that's probably not
- 11:43Speaker 1: how you pronounce that, Angel, probably? Arc Angel? It doesn't matter.
- 11:49Speaker 1: We'll just call him Preddle. A principal of CTU was
- 11:51Speaker 1: a longtime FBI informant who earned $ 138, 000 over a decade
- 11:56Speaker 1: providing information to the FBI and DEA. Prosecutors told jurors
- 12:00Speaker 1: that Mr. Preddle never informed the FBI handlers of the
- 12:04Speaker 1: plot to kill the president. The defense attorney said evidence
- 12:06Speaker 1: showing that Mr. Preddle had introduced some of the co-defendants
- 12:10Speaker 1: to two FBI handlers proved that his client thought he
- 12:13Speaker 1: was participating in in a lawful operation. You don't invite
- 12:16Speaker 1: your FBI handler to your murder plot, the defense attorney said.
- 12:21Speaker 1: So it seems they're raising the prospect that the PPP
- 12:24Speaker 1: funds were maybe deliberately laundered from the government to these
- 12:28Speaker 1: hitmen to carry out some kind of CIA operation.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Who knows?
- 12:34Speaker 1: What's clear though, and what's important to understand about this plot,
- 12:38Speaker 1: is that at any point, if we had a remotely
- 12:41Speaker 1: competent federal government, this would have been shut down. All
- 12:45Speaker 1: it took was for someone in the government, maybe the
- 12:47Speaker 1: customs officers checking the x-ray vests, or maybe someone checking
- 12:52Speaker 1: the payrolls at the web of fake companies. Really, anywhere
- 12:57Speaker 1: along the line, just anyone at all needed to notice
- 12:59Speaker 1: that something wasn't quite right. This was not a plan
- 13:04Speaker 1: hatched by geniuses, after all. There were many potential failure
- 13:08Speaker 1: points along the way and many red flags were raised
- 13:12Speaker 1: and none of them were noticed. And instead, this assassination
- 13:15Speaker 1: took place five years ago and we're only learning some
- 13:18Speaker 1: very important details in 2026. That should make you wonder
- 13:22Speaker 1: once again about what happened in Butler when Donald Trump
- 13:26Speaker 1: was shot in the head, given the incompetence that was
- 13:29Speaker 1: displayed by the Secret Service on that day. And of course,
- 13:31Speaker 1: by incompetence, I'm assuming for the sake of argument that
- 13:34Speaker 1: it was not a setup. even though we can't assume that.
- 13:38Speaker 1: It's not a stretch to wonder if we missed an
- 13:40Speaker 1: obvious foreign connection to that assassination. We talked about this
- 13:45Speaker 1: last week, and I'm not going to relitigate all the
- 13:48Speaker 1: open questions about the member of the foreign terror group
- 13:52Speaker 1: who was in direct communication with Thomas Crooks. But these
- 13:56Speaker 1: are very real questions, and the situation in Haiti is
- 13:58Speaker 1: yet another reminder of that fact. But more broadly, this
- 14:02Speaker 1: is a story about the butterfly effect that's caused by massive,
- 14:06Speaker 1: unmitigated fraud. It has effects that most people don't even realize,
- 14:10Speaker 1: including effects on foreign affairs. But this has become a
- 14:15Speaker 1: normal part of our country, and no small part because
- 14:17Speaker 1: we've imported so many people from the third world where
- 14:21Speaker 1: this kind of dysfunction is just commonplace. Now, no matter
- 14:24Speaker 1: what state you're in, you're going to notice rampant fraud
- 14:28Speaker 1: in about five minutes once you start looking. New reporting
- 14:32Speaker 1: from the main wire. For example, listen.
- 14:36Speaker 5: We're here at this office facility that has, what did
- 14:39Speaker 5: you say, eight? Eight home health care agencies in a
- 14:42Speaker 5: small little hallway.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Registered 612 area code.
- 14:46Speaker 5: Minnesota phone number.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Leave your message for 612-759-0102.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Just wondering why a home health care agency... And Westbrook,
- 14:58Speaker 5: Maine would have a Minneapolis, Minnesota phone number. We're just
- 15:02Speaker 5: doing some investigating and reporting. So when you get this message,
- 15:05Speaker 5: if you could give me a call back, I would
- 15:07Speaker 5: appreciate it.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 15:09Speaker 5: So a legitimate home health care based in Westbrook, Maine
- 15:14Speaker 5: with a Minneapolis phone number, shouldn't it have a voicemail
- 15:17Speaker 5: set up? You would think so if they were soliciting
- 15:19Speaker 5: customers or wanted to grow their business. Please leave your
- 15:22Speaker 5: message for 2-0-1.
- 15:27Speaker 1: But just so people.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Understand, Westbrook, Maine, is a suburb of Portland, Maine. This
- 15:32Speaker 5: is a small office complex with multiple home health care agencies.
- 15:38Speaker 5: It's the middle of the workday, and nobody's answering their
- 15:44Speaker 5: phones or is here.
- 15:46Speaker 1: The same outlet, The Maine Wire, just reported some new
- 15:49Speaker 1: details on an alleged scheme to funnel Medicaid money from
- 15:53Speaker 1: Arizona to Rwanda. Quote, two men accused of collecting more
- 15:57Speaker 1: than $ 60 million from Arizona's Medicaid program for non-existent or
- 16:01Speaker 1: incomplete addiction and mental health treatment face mandatory prison time
- 16:05Speaker 1: if convicted of major fraud charges in a case that
- 16:08Speaker 1: allegedly sent millions through a Phoenix area church and onward
- 16:12Speaker 1: to Rwanda. Prosecutors allege Desire Ruzingswa and Fabrice, however you
- 16:19Speaker 1: pronounce the last name, used Happy House Behavioral Health LLC
- 16:22Speaker 1: to bill taxpayers for patients who were dead, incarcerated, or hospitalized,
- 16:27Speaker 1: among other false or excessive claims. Prosecutors say that Happy
- 16:32Speaker 1: House collected more than $ 60 million for false or inflated
- 16:36Speaker 1: treatment claims and paid $ 5. 5 million to a church. The
- 16:39Speaker 1: 51-count indictment describes a referral operation involving 11 sober living
- 16:44Speaker 1: companies and alleges that Happy House paid $ 5. 5 million to
- 16:48Speaker 1: Hope of Life International Church. Its pastor, Theodore Mukuranyana, we'll
- 16:57Speaker 1: go with that, is accused of helping transfer more than
- 16:59Speaker 1: $ 2 million to an unnamed entity in Rwanda. And of course,
- 17:03Speaker 1: this is just the fraud that prosecutors managed to uncover.
- 17:07Speaker 1: We can assume that for every fraud scheme that the
- 17:10Speaker 1: government detects, there are about a million approximately that no
- 17:14Speaker 1: one ever notices, especially since most major jurisdictions in this
- 17:18Speaker 1: country now go out of their way to not notice them,
- 17:21Speaker 1: to protect not only criminals, but also terrorists. Now, I
- 17:25Speaker 1: couldn't believe this was real, but it is. It was
- 17:28Speaker 1: flagged by a reporter for Town Hall. So take a
- 17:32Speaker 1: look at this. Quote, Arlington County, Virginia prohibits cooperation with ICE,
- 17:38Speaker 1: even in cases involving felons and terrorists. Arlington County's latest
- 17:43Speaker 1: trust policy prohibits Arlington County Police Department from initiating contact
- 17:47Speaker 1: with federal immigration authorities, even when the department identifies an
- 17:51Speaker 1: illegal alien as a violent felon gang member, human trafficker,
- 17:55Speaker 1: or terrorist. So if police in Arlington uncovered a plot
- 18:00Speaker 1: to murder, say, the president of Haiti, under this policy,
- 18:04Speaker 1: they probably couldn't do anything about it. After all, it's
- 18:08Speaker 1: not a state-level crime, and if they tell the feds,
- 18:11Speaker 1: then they'd be violating the trust policy they've established, which
- 18:14Speaker 1: has the express purpose of protecting terrorists from deportation. So
- 18:18Speaker 1: this is the general attitude that leftist states have adopted. criminals,
- 18:23Speaker 1: even terrorists, can do whatever they want. The result is
- 18:27Speaker 1: that these degenerates are now more brazen than they've ever been. Lately,
- 18:31Speaker 1: I was thinking back to the extraordinary story of a
- 18:34Speaker 1: woman named Tamika Goode, who we've talked about before. If
- 18:39Speaker 1: you remember, she's the black woman who sold fake counseling
- 18:42Speaker 1: services on TikTok. even though all counseling services are kind
- 18:47Speaker 1: of fake. And one day she decided to move into
- 18:49Speaker 1: a $ 2 million mansion in Maryland that had recently been
- 18:52Speaker 1: foreclosed on, even though she didn't, it wasn't her house,
- 18:54Speaker 1: she didn't live there. She just moved in. And then
- 18:58Speaker 1: she just looked at the house and said, I'll take
- 18:59Speaker 1: that one. I'll have that house. Thank you. And after
- 19:04Speaker 1: several months, she was finally arrested and put on trial.
- 19:06Speaker 1: And to fight the charges, she retained the single worst
- 19:09Speaker 1: lawyer who's ever existed in any country in any time period.
- 19:13Speaker 1: And then this lawyer went on television and managed to
- 19:15Speaker 1: tank not only Tamika Good's defense, as meager as it
- 19:19Speaker 1: might be, but also his entire legal career and his
- 19:22Speaker 1: reputation and his dignity, if he had any of those
- 19:25Speaker 1: things to begin with, which he didn't. Watch.
- 19:28Speaker 6: Look, there's a question. It's really the number one question
- 19:31Speaker 6: on everybody's mind. How would your client, Ms. Tamika Good,
- 19:35Speaker 6: get inside a $ 2. 3 million property?
- 19:40Speaker 3: Cut.
- 19:40Speaker 4: I don't know if I can answer that.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Allegedly. Can I cut? We're rolling. I mean, we're rolling,
- 19:52Speaker 1: my friend.
- 20:06Speaker 4: All right, can you re-ask the question?
- 20:07Speaker 1: Sure, absolutely.
- 20:08Speaker 6: So the number one question on everybody's mind is how
- 20:11Speaker 6: your client, Ms. Tamika Goode, got into a $ 2. 3 million property.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Well, Ms. Goode did her research.
- 20:21Speaker 4: She found out that a certain property was under the
- 20:25Speaker 4: control of a certain group. and that there was a
- 20:34Speaker 4: title issue. Due to the title issue, she was able
- 20:37Speaker 4: to assume the property under squatter's rights.
- 20:41Speaker 6: So in Maryland, there isn't a particular squatter right.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Am I missing something?
- 20:46Speaker 4: Well, there's not a particular squatter's right, but it's known
- 20:49Speaker 4: as squatter rights.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You know, with crack representation like this, it's probably not
- 20:54Speaker 1: surprising that Tamika Goode was ultimately convicted, tragically, for trespassing
- 20:59Speaker 1: and breaking and entering. But she served just 11 days
- 21:02Speaker 1: in jail before posting a bond. And then after leaving jail,
- 21:05Speaker 1: she simply moved right back into the mansion as if
- 21:08Speaker 1: nothing had happened and nobody stopped her. Now, this is
- 21:11Speaker 1: a very important lesson to draw from this story, which
- 21:14Speaker 1: is why I keep coming back to it. Other than
- 21:17Speaker 1: the fact that it's kind of hilarious in a morbid way.
- 21:19Speaker 1: And the lesson is simple. You know, the most brazen criminals,
- 21:22Speaker 1: the ones who openly defy the law and social norms
- 21:25Speaker 1: and common decency are these days anyway, the most effective ones.
- 21:31Speaker 1: because that's the society we have established. Whatever the reason,
- 21:35Speaker 1: you can blame the civil rights era, racial guilt, liberal
- 21:38Speaker 1: wine moms, take your pick, all of the above. Our
- 21:42Speaker 1: justice system simply does not crack down on unapologetic criminals,
- 21:46Speaker 1: especially when they're non-white fraudsters. And these are precisely the
- 21:51Speaker 1: people who we should be cracking down on. They should
- 21:54Speaker 1: be thrown into the nearest dungeon. But instead, if they're
- 21:57Speaker 1: punished at all, they get a slap on the wrist
- 21:59Speaker 1: and then they're sent out and sent right back to
- 22:00Speaker 1: doing what they were doing before. As a result, there's
- 22:02Speaker 1: an arms race among fraudsters in this country as they
- 22:05Speaker 1: compete to one up themselves and do increasingly insane and
- 22:09Speaker 1: outrageous things while also being completely confident that the government
- 22:12Speaker 1: isn't going to do anything about it. You know, health
- 22:15Speaker 1: care is one of the only things you buy where
- 22:17Speaker 1: nobody seems particularly interested in telling you what it costs
- 22:20Speaker 1: until after you've already bought it. You go to the doctor,
- 22:23Speaker 1: everyone does whatever they're going to do. You go home
- 22:26Speaker 1: and then a few weeks later, an envelope arrives containing
- 22:28Speaker 1: a number that may or may not bear any relationship
- 22:31Speaker 1: to reality. And meanwhile, traditional health insurance has become incredibly expensive.
- 22:35Speaker 1: If you're a Christian wondering whether there's another way to
- 22:39Speaker 1: approach all this, well, then you should know about Christian
- 22:42Speaker 1: Healthcare Ministries or CHM. CHM is not health insurance. It's
- 22:46Speaker 1: a health cost sharing ministry where Christians come together to
- 22:50Speaker 1: share the burden of eligible medical bills. It's really a
- 22:53Speaker 1: very old idea. When someone in your community needs help,
- 22:57Speaker 1: you help them. It's that simple. CHM has been putting
- 23:00Speaker 1: that principle into practice since 1981. They've satisfied 100% of
- 23:04Speaker 1: every eligible bill received. Programs start as low as $ 115
- 23:08Speaker 1: per person per month with added protection available for catastrophic
- 23:12Speaker 1: medical events. If you're tired of looking at the health
- 23:14Speaker 1: care system and wondering how any of this is supposed
- 23:17Speaker 1: to be sustainable, take a look at a simpler example.
- 23:20Speaker 1: biblical alternative that's been serving Christians for more than four decades.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Get started today by visiting chministries.org. That's chministries.org. An MBA
- 23:33Speaker 1: shouldn't be an expensive way to learn the word scalability.
- 23:37Speaker 1: It should help you lead people and build something worthwhile
- 23:40Speaker 1: in the process. What I respect about Grand Canyon University
- 23:43Speaker 1: is is its commitment to free and open discourse. Students
- 23:47Speaker 1: should have to defend their ideas about business and the
- 23:50Speaker 1: free market, not just repeat whatever earns the safest grade.
- 23:53Speaker 1: GCU's online students also received nearly $ 200 million in institutional
- 23:58Speaker 1: scholarships in 2025. That helps make private higher education more accessible.
- 24:02Speaker 1: You know, they say higher education is outdated, irrelevant, but
- 24:06Speaker 1: at Grand Canyon University, they don't settle for the status quo.
- 24:09Speaker 1: They shatter it. GCU's accredited MBA program is 100% online,
- 24:14Speaker 1: It is designed to shape leaders through servant leadership. GCU
- 24:17Speaker 1: can help you take your passion and scale your business
- 24:21Speaker 1: to serve your community. This is purpose-driven education. Take action.

- 24:32Speaker 1: back to the Paycheck Protection Program, of the $ 4. 2 trillion
- 24:38Speaker 1: that were dispersed in COVID relief money, so-called, Some of
- 24:42Speaker 1: the most conservative estimates are that around $ 200 billion of
- 24:47Speaker 1: that amount was stolen outright. As the author Cremo has found,
- 24:54Speaker 1: some of these loans obviously should have been scrutinized a
- 24:59Speaker 1: little bit more carefully, to put it mildly. You can
- 25:02Speaker 1: see some of the PPP loans that were approved on
- 25:04Speaker 1: your screen right now. Something called Dodge Hellcat, which we
- 25:09Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, got $ 13, 000. Then there's Reparations for Indigenous People, LLC.
- 25:16Speaker 1: They receive $ 55, 000. And we can't forget about Free Money, LLC.
- 25:23Speaker 1: About as brazen as you can be, $ 15, 000. Traffic Tickets, $ 20, 000.
- 25:25Speaker 1: And Jigga Vibes, $ 7, 500. And then Wakanda Merkle Dove with
- 25:29Speaker 1: more than $ 20, 000. Now, for all I know, These are
- 25:41Speaker 1: real companies with extremely strange names. Jigga Vibes, that could
- 25:46Speaker 1: be a real company. That sounds legitimate. But what we
- 25:50Speaker 1: do know without any doubt is that the federal government
- 25:53Speaker 1: was not looking into any of this. This was a
- 25:56Speaker 1: rubber stamp operation. As with literally everything else the government does,
- 26:01Speaker 1: this program was incompetently managed and it wasted a very
- 26:04Speaker 1: large amount of your money. And fraudsters who have no
- 26:08Speaker 1: shame and no dignity took full advantage of it. That's
- 26:12Speaker 1: what happens when you have trillions of dollars you're just
- 26:15Speaker 1: offering up for free without any checks, without any system
- 26:20Speaker 1: in place to scrutinize anything. The only thing stopping anyone
- 26:25Speaker 1: from just stealing is their own sense of shame. It's
- 26:28Speaker 1: just their own dignity as a person. Now, you would
- 26:30Speaker 1: think if you're a person with some dignity, even if
- 26:34Speaker 1: you can steal, you're not going to. But what do
- 26:37Speaker 1: you do when you have imported into your country a
- 26:39Speaker 1: bunch of people who have no shame? And no dignity.
- 26:43Speaker 1: And in their culture, just stealing whatever you can is
- 26:46Speaker 1: par for the course. What happens? Well, what happens is
- 26:49Speaker 1: exactly what did happen. Some of the more egregious examples,
- 26:53Speaker 1: short of Haitian assassination plots anyway, were uncovered not by
- 26:56Speaker 1: the DOJ or the FBI, but by Alex Stein, who
- 26:59Speaker 1: put together a documentary on PPP fraud. As he demonstrates
- 27:03Speaker 1: for a very large demographic in this country, defrauding the
- 27:05Speaker 1: government is just a way of life. They're open about it.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Like I said, they're totally shameless. They'll talk about it
- 27:11Speaker 1: on the street. They'll make rap songs about it. Watch.
- 27:16Speaker 7: Did y'all ever get a PPP loan?
- 27:18Speaker 1: I wish I got one, but I didn't.
- 27:19Speaker 7: So tell the people what you think about all those
- 27:21Speaker 7: people doing fraud. Was that good or bad?
- 27:23Speaker 4: I mean, I'm going to be completely honest with y'all.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Get the government for all they got.
- 27:30Speaker 4: They making it hard for us. Why not?
- 27:32Speaker 7: Who do you know that committed PPP fraud back in 2021?
- 27:36Speaker 7: I had a couple people, I know a couple people
- 27:38Speaker 7: that did it. And if I could have did it myself,
- 27:40Speaker 7: I would have did it too. Then there's the case
- 27:41Speaker 7: of 39-year-old Andre Lurquette, also of Miami, who's serving time
- 27:45Speaker 7: for taking $ 4. 4 million in a fraudulent PPP scheme. He
- 27:50Speaker 7: was a one-man stimulus program, spending the money on a Lamborghini,
- 27:53Speaker 7: a Porsche, two Teslas, a diamond watch, custom jewelry, gold chains,
- 27:58Speaker 7: and 70 carats of diamonds. All right, Jeff, we're heading
- 28:01Speaker 7: to the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel. Another big spender was
- 28:05Speaker 7: former NFL wide receiver Joshua Bellamy, who received $ 1. 2 million
- 28:11Speaker 7: in a fraudulent PPP scheme. According to his indictment, he
- 28:14Speaker 7: bought jewelry and spent $ 60, 000 on a stay at Fort
- 28:18Speaker 7: Lauderdale's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. According to the feds,
- 28:22Speaker 7: PPP loans paid for vacations to Florida, expensive meals, and
- 28:26Speaker 7: vacation homes. One guy in Georgia spent $ 57, 000 on a
- 28:30Speaker 7: mint condition Pokemon card. And one woman in Miami used
- 28:34Speaker 7: her PPP cash to hire a hitman who actually filmed
- 28:37Speaker 7: himself counting the money. Even more flamboyant than the social
- 28:41Speaker 7: media posts was the emerging genre of PPP-related rap music.
- 28:49Speaker 7: The songs and music videos have racked up millions of views.
- 28:56Speaker 7: One rapper named Nuke Bizzle dropped an entire track about
- 28:59Speaker 7: getting rich off COVID-era unemployment benefits.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Just an unmitigated disaster for the entire country. We pumped
- 29:12Speaker 1: trillions of dollars into the economy, causing inflation and a
- 29:16Speaker 1: massive increase in the cost of living that we're still
- 29:18Speaker 1: seeing today. We destroyed people's lives, including the lives of children.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Based on junk science. And on top of that, we
- 29:23Speaker 1: managed to light hundreds of billions of dollars on fire
- 29:27Speaker 1: for the benefit of scam artists who don't even hide
- 29:29Speaker 1: what they're doing. The scale of the fraud was truly staggering.
- 29:35Speaker 1: At some level, you have to sit back in awe.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I mean, fraudsters, many of them black, as you probably noticed.
- 29:40Speaker 1: were coming up with absurd names for fake businesses and
- 29:43Speaker 1: walking away with insane amounts of money. They're walking into
- 29:46Speaker 1: mansions and asserting squatters' rights even after they'd been arrested.
- 29:51Speaker 1: And seeing all this, you had to ask, if only
- 29:53Speaker 1: out of morbid curiosity, where do we go from here?
- 29:58Speaker 1: How are they going to top this? I mean, how
- 30:01Speaker 1: do you one-up Dodge Charger LLC? How do you one-up
- 30:05Speaker 1: buying a Hitman with your COVID money or a Pokemon card?
- 30:10Speaker 1: And then the president of Haiti gets mowed down by
- 30:13Speaker 1: a bunch of assassins hired with PPP money and you
- 30:15Speaker 1: realize just how bad things can get. Now, a big
- 30:18Speaker 1: part of the problem is whenever there's an attempt to
- 30:21Speaker 1: actually enforce the law, that is to punish criminals who
- 30:24Speaker 1: don't even have a right to be in this country
- 30:25Speaker 1: in the first place, the left immediately runs interference. They
- 30:28Speaker 1: take to the streets and everyone else cowers before them.
- 30:32Speaker 1: We're now seeing this familiar posture play out once again
- 30:35Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas, where an apparent illegal alien named Wilbur
- 30:39Speaker 1: Rafael Garces Perez was just shot by ICE, supposedly while
- 30:45Speaker 1: he was completing a DoorDash delivery. Here's some video that
- 30:48Speaker 1: was shot from a cell phone before the incident and
- 30:51Speaker 1: then shortly after. So you can try to piece it together.
- 30:54Speaker 5: Watch. And all your friends, all the masons.
- 30:57Speaker 7: I was nice to you guys, like, way back when.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Holy.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Woo!
- 31:07Speaker 4: Whoa.
- 31:08Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Holy... Dude. Oh, my God.
- 31:17Speaker 4: What the.
- 31:29Speaker 8: Hey guys, why you do that to him? Why you
- 31:33Speaker 8: do that to him? You're not supposed to do that
- 31:41Speaker 8: to him, man.
- 31:59Speaker 1: So the locals are restless, even though it's very difficult
- 32:01Speaker 1: to make out what exactly happened. It looks as though
- 32:03Speaker 1: he led ICE on a vehicle pursuit since he knew
- 32:06Speaker 1: he was an illegal alien, obviously. And then the officer
- 32:09Speaker 1: shoots the guy, apparently, because he was still trying to
- 32:11Speaker 1: drive away and potentially backwards into the officer. This is
- 32:15Speaker 1: one of the reasons that you shouldn't evade the police
- 32:18Speaker 1: while you're driving a car. Or really, even if you're
- 32:21Speaker 1: not in a car, but especially in a car, because
- 32:22Speaker 1: you see, cars are deadly weapons. And when you start
- 32:25Speaker 1: moving them towards police officers, you become a deadly threat.
- 32:29Speaker 1: At any point in this situation, this guy could have
- 32:32Speaker 1: simply followed the law. But he didn't. And now the
- 32:36Speaker 1: left is rushing, of course, to defend them. For example,
- 32:39Speaker 1: one of the Pod Save America guys offered this take. Quote, oh,
- 32:45Speaker 1: my God, I shot this unarmed man in the back
- 32:48Speaker 1: while he was delivering food. 24 hours later, the bullet
- 32:50Speaker 1: is still lodged in his back and they refused his
- 32:52Speaker 1: pleas for pain medication. He entered the country legally and
- 32:55Speaker 1: had a valid work permit. Now, first of all, a
- 32:59Speaker 1: lot of these claims are based on statements from this
- 33:01Speaker 1: guy's lawyer, who presumably is NGO-funded in some way. The
- 33:06Speaker 1: lawyer is not a credible source of information. She's contradicted
- 33:09Speaker 1: herself several times. But even if we take her claim seriously,
- 33:11Speaker 1: even if we believe that the guy entered the country
- 33:14Speaker 1: legally and had a valid work permit, none of that
- 33:16Speaker 1: would even matter. You see, having a work permit does
- 33:20Speaker 1: not grant you the right to remain in this country,
- 33:23Speaker 1: nor does it matter if you entered legally if you
- 33:25Speaker 1: then overstay your visa. These are simple concepts, but over
- 33:29Speaker 1: and over again, the left pretends not to understand them
- 33:31Speaker 1: because in the end, what they want, obviously, is open borders.
- 33:35Speaker 1: They don't actually care about this random guy or whether
- 33:37Speaker 1: the shooting was justified or any of the facts of
- 33:39Speaker 1: what happened. They think all immigration enforcement is tantamount to fascism,
- 33:43Speaker 1: so they'll lie about everything. They'll run cover for the
- 33:46Speaker 1: foreign criminals who are degrading our quality of life and
- 33:49Speaker 1: destroying our country. And all the while, they won't say
- 33:52Speaker 1: anything at all about DoorDash employing illegal aliens, which is
- 33:56Speaker 1: against the law. I mean, honestly, the company should be
- 33:59Speaker 1: investigated and shut down over this until they can ensure
- 34:01Speaker 1: that they aren't paying illegals. In a legitimate society, that's
- 34:05Speaker 1: what would happen. We've all experienced this. We've all ordered
- 34:09Speaker 1: food from DoorDash and had this experience. They tell you
- 34:12Speaker 1: that a normal American driver with a name like Susan
- 34:16Speaker 1: is on the way with your burrito and her Toyota Corolla,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and then a military-age Pakistani shows up to your home
- 34:22Speaker 1: on a bike or something. And the reason this happens
- 34:25Speaker 1: is because People sell their DoorDash credentials online. They sign
- 34:29Speaker 1: up with a social security number, then they sell the
- 34:32Speaker 1: credentials to foreigners, many of them illegal aliens, sort of
- 34:36Speaker 1: like the old taxicab medallion system. And DoorDash knows this
- 34:40Speaker 1: is happening. It's a core part of their business model, actually.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Their app doesn't punish it or monitor it, and they
- 34:46Speaker 1: need to suffer consequences as a result. So does every
- 34:49Speaker 1: other company that knowingly employs illegal aliens. If that happens,
- 34:55Speaker 1: we will solve the illegal immigration problem overnight. Leftists would
- 35:00Speaker 1: rather muddy the waters by pretending ICE had no reason
- 35:02Speaker 1: to shoot this particular DoorDash driver, because if you're talking
- 35:05Speaker 1: about that, then you're missing the much bigger and more
- 35:09Speaker 1: important issue at hand. Now, the best possible response to
- 35:13Speaker 1: these people once we're done enforcing the law and deporting
- 35:16Speaker 1: every illegal alien without apology is to be honest about
- 35:19Speaker 1: what we're seeing every day in our own communities. We
- 35:24Speaker 1: should talk about what life is actually like with and
- 35:27Speaker 1: without the wonders of diversity, quote unquote. That's one way
- 35:31Speaker 1: to assess the merits or lack thereof of the left's
- 35:34Speaker 1: ideological experiment. I was thinking about this the other day
- 35:37Speaker 1: because a few days ago, my kids set up a
- 35:41Speaker 1: farm stand right off of our driveway with extra vegetables
- 35:45Speaker 1: from our garden. And they, you know, it was an
- 35:49Speaker 1: unmanned stand. They listed the price for each item of
- 35:52Speaker 1: produce and they put out a box for people to
- 35:53Speaker 1: leave the money. Now, I would have happily just given
- 35:56Speaker 1: the vegetables away for free, but this was for the
- 35:57Speaker 1: kids and it was a good way for them to
- 35:59Speaker 1: earn a little cash. And the next day, you know,
- 36:02Speaker 1: they set up the stand. The next day, all the
- 36:04Speaker 1: produce had been purchased and in the box was actually
- 36:07Speaker 1: more money than what should have been there because neighbors
- 36:11Speaker 1: were coming by apparently and they were paying extra, you know,
- 36:14Speaker 1: just to be nice. Now, my neighborhood is homogenous, almost
- 36:18Speaker 1: entirely white, high trust, basically crime free. So we assumed
- 36:24Speaker 1: that the kids could set up a stand like that
- 36:26Speaker 1: and everybody else would just be decent and honest and
- 36:29Speaker 1: not rob us blind. And our assumption was correct. Now,
- 36:34Speaker 1: what would have happened if we set up the same
- 36:38Speaker 1: unmanned farm stand in a, quote unquote, diverse neighborhood? What
- 36:44Speaker 1: if we set it up in a neighborhood with, say,
- 36:46Speaker 1: a large population of Haitian immigrants? Well, we all know
- 36:51Speaker 1: exactly what would have happened. The next day, all of
- 36:55Speaker 1: the produce would be gone, along with the box of
- 36:57Speaker 1: money and probably the table and the crates the vegetables
- 37:01Speaker 1: were in. All of it will be gone. Not even
- 37:04Speaker 1: like the next day, but within hours. And we all
- 37:08Speaker 1: know that. What this demonstrates is that it is actually
- 37:12Speaker 1: possible to have a society where you can basically trust
- 37:16Speaker 1: the people around you to be decent and honest and
- 37:19Speaker 1: to some extent, at least, to look out for your interests.
- 37:24Speaker 1: That's not a utopia. You can actually have, people aren't
- 37:27Speaker 1: going to be perfect, like some crime's still going to happen,
- 37:29Speaker 1: but you can live in a society where people are
- 37:31Speaker 1: basically honest and decent and you can basically trust people.
- 37:36Speaker 1: This country was built as such a society. It wasn't
- 37:39Speaker 1: just pockets of decent neighborhoods here and there. that are
- 37:43Speaker 1: more the exception than the rule, like it is now.
- 37:47Speaker 1: That used to be how the country as a whole operated.
- 37:50Speaker 1: But then we prioritized diversity over stability and safety and
- 37:53Speaker 1: trust and all of the things that are a million
- 37:57Speaker 1: times more important and a million times more conducive to
- 38:00Speaker 1: human well-being than diversity. We've allowed foreigners to take advantage
- 38:05Speaker 1: of us for generations, and every single one of us
- 38:07Speaker 1: has seen our quality of life decline as a result.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Our tolerance has been abused to the point that we're
- 38:14Speaker 1: now inadvertently funding foreign political assassinations. Americans in Austin have
- 38:19Speaker 1: to deal with foreigners running away from the police and
- 38:21Speaker 1: endangering everybody on the road. People in Arizona are being
- 38:24Speaker 1: forced to send their money to undisclosed groups in Rwanda.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Toothpaste is stashed behind plexiglass at the CVS in Chicago or,
- 38:31Speaker 1: you know, any other city. In order for any of
- 38:35Speaker 1: this to change, we don't need just a fraud task
- 38:39Speaker 1: force or a handful of prosecutions. Instead, we need to
- 38:43Speaker 1: make the simplest possible observation, which also happens to be
- 38:48Speaker 1: the correct one, which is that these people are not
- 38:51Speaker 1: making our country any better. They're making it worse. And therefore,
- 38:55Speaker 1: whether they're delivering a burrito or not, whether they're unarmed
- 38:58Speaker 1: or not, they have to go one way or another.
- 39:02Speaker 1: That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
- 39:15Speaker 7: Every significant movement in history has started with protesting.
