• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment of truth. It's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a quiet day in Washington, March twenty twenty five, until
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a shadow falls over the marble halls of power. A
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: crime some say has been committed, A heist whispered others.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Two billion dollars gone, vanished into the ether of a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: grand scheme, taxpayer money siphoned off in the name of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: green dreams and shiny new appliances. The question on everyone's lips,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who did it? Who pulled the strings in this caper
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of colossal proportions. Grab your detective hat, folks, because this
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is a mystery worth unraveling. Let's set the scene. The
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: year is twenty twenty four, and the Biden Administration's Environmental
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Protection Agency is humming along, doling out funds like a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: philanthropist at a charity ball. Billions are earmarked for a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: noble cause, clean energy, decarbonized homes, a brighter future for
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the little guy. But then a curious sum two billion
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: dollars lands in the lap of a group called Power
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Forward Communities, a coalition of do gooders, they say, with
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: names like Habitat for Humanity and United Way in the mix.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Their mission to swap out old stoves and water heaters
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for sleek, energy efficient models in low income neighborhoods. Sounds
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: innocent enough, or does it enter our first suspect? Stacy Abrams,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Georgia firebrand who's danced with political stardom but never
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: quite clinched the governor's mansion. She's tied to this outfit,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: not directly, mind you, but through a thread that leads
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to rewiring America. One of the coalition's partners, Abrams, you see,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was their senior council, a role she trumpeted with pride
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three. Thrilled to be part of it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: She'd posted online, her words dripping with enthusiasm for this
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: clean energy crusade, and now here she is. Stepping onto
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: MSNBC stage in March twenty twenty five, defending the two
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: billion dollar windfall. Like a lawyer at the bar. We
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lowered costs for Americans, she insists, recounting a tale of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a South Georgia town where bills were slashed and lives uplifted.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But was she the mastermind or just a pawn in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a bigger game? The plot thickens power Forward communities. It
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: turns out isn't exactly season player. In twenty twenty three,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they reported a mere hundred bucks in revenue pocket change
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for an outfit handed two billion dollars just months later,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Critics cry foul. They needed a budgeting class. Snap's EPA
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: administrator Lee Zelden, pointing to a grant agreement that gave
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: them ninety days to learn how to handle the cash
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: after they'd gotten it two billion dollars in there still
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: figuring out the ledger? Suspicious, isn't it? Zelden, a Trump
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: appointee with a nose for waste, calls it a gold
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bar scheme, a rush job to shovel money out the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: door before the Biden team packed their bags. But who
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: gave the order? Let's widen the lens. The money came
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a hefty pot carved
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: out of the Inflation Reduction Act twenty billion dollars total,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: split among eight groups, with Power Forward snagging its slice.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: In April twenty twenty four, the Biden EPA parked it
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: all at City Bank, away from prying eyes, reducing oversight
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to a whisper. Was this a deliberate dodge? A clue
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: surfaces the Groups CEO Tim Meeopolis swears Abrams never touched
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a dime. No relationship, he says, cool as a cucumber.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Her contract with Rewiring America ended in December twenty twenty four,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: he adds, just before the heat turned up. Convenient timing,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you say? The suspects multiply. Conservatives on ex howl
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: about vote buying two billion dollars to win George's favor
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in a battleground state. Others point fingers at Biden himself,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the man at the top when the funds flowed. Zelden
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: meanwhile plays the detective, vowing to claw back every cent,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: self dealing conflicts of interest, he mutters, eyeing the trail
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of breadcrumbs. But Abram stands firm, unapologetic, her voice echoing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: with conviction. This is about helping people. Is she the culprit,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the red herring or the fall guy? So who dooon? It?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Was it Abram's orchestrating a green energy grift from the shadows,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the Biden EPA tossing gold bars off the Titanic in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a last hurrah, or Power Forward itself a fledgling front
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: too green to know better. The case remains open the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: two billion dollars a glittering question mark. One thing's for
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: sure in this Who done it? The truth is as
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: elusive as a whisper in the wind, and that, my friends,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is the moment of truth. I'm Gil, Thanks for listening.
