for choosing W FORCY Radio. Well, hello America, Bill Martinez. He're

8
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.679
good to have you with us.
As always in We've got lots to talk

9
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.960
about. We're gonna talk about the
i RS I. You're gonna talk about

10
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.679
this government, aren't you Your money's
worth? I mean for all the money

11
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.519
man here we are. We're looking
at what thirty two trillion dollars in debt?

12
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.879
What do we get for this?
You know, for this money that

13
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.799
they come and you know they take, They're not creating anything. The only

14
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.000
thing they're doing is creating things that
can capture more of our money. Because

15
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.400
our government is getting way out of
hand and more and more expensive. And

16
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.079
I don't blame you you're asking the
same questions that we're all asking. You

17
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.319
know, it's like, you know, like any other investment. But of

18
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.120
course, you know, our government
doesn't look at it as an investment.

19
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.719
It is the commandment you shall pay
the government or else. The question is

20
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.680
is it time to disarm the IRS, especially in light of all the you

21
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.280
know, debt sailing debate, Joe
Biden's movement to hire eighty five thousand more

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.599
IRS agents, and you know that
it's not going to be you know,

23
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.599
just for you know, the rich
and famous. There's no way, I

24
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.480
mean, they're coming after us.
It's the same manner in which the whole

25
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.159
you know, the whole IRS began
with, right, they started with the

26
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.080
ninety nine. You know, we're
going to go after the top one percent.

27
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.879
They've got all the money, so
we're going to go after them.

28
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.879
And then they found out after a
year that that wasn't the best thing to

29
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.319
do, that they had more money
in the hills of those ninety nine.

30
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.560
So forget about the one percent because
they had their attorneys and they were not

31
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.520
fun to play with. But we'll
go after and torment the ninety nine that

32
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.319
aren't as equipped. Adam Majivski.
He's the author of Drain the Swamp.

33
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.960
He is also the founder of Opening
Books. And we always love having Adam

34
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.319
on with us because he breaks it
down. He's telling us what is happening

35
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.680
with your money and all that we
send to the government. Adam Magiski,

36
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.280
welcome to the show. Good to
have you with us. Well, great

37
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.360
to be on the program, Bill, thanks for having me on. Well,

38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.560
here the debate, the dead ceiling
debate, and it really brings into

39
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.759
question which I think really makes the
politicians and of course those in the government

40
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.960
a little bit uncomfortable because we start, you know, we go, wow,

41
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.120
thirty how did we get up to
thirty one point? What six six

42
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.439
trillion dollars in debt? And what
are we getting for that? So if

43
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.159
you take just a recent history over
the course of the last twenty two years

44
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.280
on our national debt, it's Republicans
and Democrats and Republicans and democrats. I

45
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.520
mean, just think about this,
Bill, and we've discussed this on your

46
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.560
radio program. Back when George W. Bush, the Republican president, took

47
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.919
office, our national debt was less
than six trillion dollars. Through Barack Obama,

48
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.280
Donald Trump, and now Joe Biden, we're pushing thirty two trillion dollars.

49
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:43.599
We're up nearly five over five times
on the national debt in just twenty

50
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:50.319
two years. Most parties, Republicans
and Democrats, they're addicted to spending our

51
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.840
taxpayer money. Yeah, and then
look again, at no time are they

52
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.960
doing anything about bringing it down.
They're continuing to increase the liability, well

53
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.840
beyond measures that the financial experts warness
and say, you know, what is

54
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.599
the prudent thing to do in terms
of government spending in relationship to GDP.

55
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.600
Right, Yeah, And so the
recent fight that we're all aware of is

56
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.519
on the debt ceiling. And this
is the only way over the course of

57
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.240
the past ten and fifteen years Republicans
have ever made any headway, it seems

58
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.399
like, on federal spending. So
the leverage of the debt ceiling has worked

59
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.639
historically for Republicans that you know,
Joe Biden staked out a position that the

60
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.279
debt ceiling bill needed to be clean, and it opened the books dot com.

61
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.600
We made the argument that a quote
unquote clean debt ceiling bill was actually

62
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.879
dirty because although justice is blind,
Congress isn't. And we pointed out you

63
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:55.360
know, there's three keys to understanding
federal spending right now in real time.

64
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.480
Number one, institutionalized incompetence. Number
two, the ciders have gained and rigged

65
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.360
the system, and number three the
criminals have gone wild. And we could

66
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.560
break those three things down. But
what it means is if you had a

67
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.480
clean debt ceiling bill, that you
would codify all of that dirty spending.

68
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.959
And so that was the debate that
we just went through. Well, you

69
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.519
know, let's let's go ahead and
break this down even further, because Adam,

70
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.480
you're exactly right. I mean,
everything about the deep state and the

71
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:33.879
Beltway is about sustainability. What can
they do to keep living, keep getting

72
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.600
elected, and keep you know,
having control of our money? Right,

73
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.920
yeah, exactly, So number one
institutionalized incompetence. Next week we're going to

74
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.160
break a report or last year,
the seventeen largest federal agencies, the top

75
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:56.319
eighty five federal programs, admitted to
misspending and improper payments of a quarter trillion

76
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.800
dollars. It's actually stunning. They
had been too. So like if I

77
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.439
say it's waste, broad corruption and
abuse, you and your audience can doubt

78
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.879
me. But when the Feds say
it. It's got to be the truth.

79
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.519
They've actually admitted they've paid the wrong
person, the wrong amount or payments

80
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.800
under the wrong set of federal rules, to the tune of two hundred and

81
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.519
forty three billion dollars last year.
And if you break that down per person

82
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.160
in the country, it's rather stunning. It's eight hundred and twenty dollars per

83
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.040
man, woman, and child across
the United States. So a family of

84
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:39.759
four, your share of their admitted
improper payments is thirty two hundred dollars and

85
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.000
bills. That's actually two average mortgage
payments exactly. And I M. I

86
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.000
don't want to sound cynical, but
we know that everything that comes out of

87
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.000
the government is a rough estimate.
And first of all, for them to

88
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:55.519
come out and even admit that this
is what they've done is quite telling.

89
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.519
It just again reminds you of kind
of like what happened with Lois Learner,

90
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.519
Right, Lois Learner and you there
was going to be some bad news out,

91
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.079
so she planted a question in the
press pool so that she could say,

92
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.439
when asked about it later on,
oh, that's old news. We've

93
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.959
already talked about it. And then
and then also the estimate. It's it's

94
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
always an estimate, you know,
it's always being revised. So this is

95
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.680
at this point what they'll admit to. So this is without an IG report,

96
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.879
or maybe there's an IG report that's
about ready to come out, and

97
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.720
this is why they you know,
they came up front and admitted it,

98
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.920
right, Yeah, And this is
this is by and large outside of the

99
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.959
rampant criminality within our COVID aid programs. So this is basically just regular,

100
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.199
you know, everyday federal programs.
And what they admit to was improperly paid.

101
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.480
Okay, So then you have,
you know, the insiders gaming the

102
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.600
system. We've come out with some
reports. We've discussed this on your radio

103
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.240
program in the past. Bill.
One of the reports that we came out

104
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.759
with about thirty days ago was pretty
interesting. We took a look at the

105
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:07.480
hop the wealthiest twenty nonprofit hospital systems
across the country who are making big profits

106
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.360
and their CEOs are making Wall Street
sized compensation packages. So during COVID these

107
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.879
twenty largest nonprofit hospital systems actually took
twenty three billion dollars with a b of

108
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.439
congressional COVID aid bailouts and over a
three year period ahead of the pandemic in

109
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.879
twenty nineteen through twenty twenty one,
you know, the pandemic, their net

110
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.639
assets grew by one hundred and twenty
four billion dollars, so they took twenty

111
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.360
three billion and times five, their
net assets grew. They made so much

112
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.600
money during the pandemic, their net
net assets at they paid all their bills,

113
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.840
they took all the COVID aid on
a net net basis, their net

114
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.759
worth increased by one hundred and twenty
four billion dollars. And some of these,

115
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.720
like seven of these CEOs of these
hospital groups last year made over ten

116
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.559
million dollars up to seven million dollars
apiece. So did any of that COVID

117
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.039
money or you know, that stimulus
that went to them. Do they have

118
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.600
to pay that back or are they
just it's forgiven down the road, because

119
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.639
you know the Democrats love to forgive
people of their debts. We've issued the

120
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.960
clearing call to pay back and two
hospital groups have Mayo Clinic paid back half

121
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.840
of theirs. I think they should
have paid the whole thing, but they

122
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.720
paid back, you know, over
one hundred million dollars worth of their COVID

123
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.279
aid bailout and Kaiser Permanente. They
paid all of nearly all of theirs back.

124
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.919
They have a subsidiary out in Hawaii. They took eleven million for the

125
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.000
subsidiary. They didn't pay that back, but they paid I believe it was

126
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.240
a half million dollars five hundred million
dollars Kaiser permanent and pay back. And

127
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
so that's the example. If Kaiser
can pay back their COVID aid, so

128
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.039
can the other nineteen and so we're
not letting us go. We are and

129
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.600
open the books. Dot Com,
you know, joined the tra his parency

130
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.759
revolution. We are having theat We
want those CEOs brought up in front of

131
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.639
these Congressional oversight committees having to justify
how when their net worth soared during the

132
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:16.360
pandemic, how they can justify holding
on to twenty three billion dollars of US

133
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:22.480
taxpayer money. Yeah, exactly,
Well, it behooves our legislative body to

134
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.080
keep the pressure on them to make
sure the money does come back. As

135
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.360
if they were successful with a couple, uh, you know a couple of

136
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.120
these organizations, why why not across
the board? Exactly, So that brings

137
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.600
us to our third point bill.
The criminals have gone wild, you know,

138
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.360
over the period of the pandemic.
You know, we've got the largest

139
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.919
public fraud in the history of the
United States that unfolded during our unemployment insurance,

140
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.039
you know, starting with the Cares
Act at the peak of the endemic

141
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.720
in April of twenty twenty, when
up to forty million Americans were hurting,

142
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.840
they were tossed out of a job, and Congress swooped in with eight hundred

143
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:07.039
billion dollars worth of unemployment insurance.
This was designed to help people who add

144
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.559
real needs, people wants their jobs, and now we know up to half

145
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:18.960
of it, four hundred billion dollars, was stolen by criminals, con artists,

146
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.639
and crime syndicates from around the world. So the criminals have gone wild

147
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.679
during the COVID era, the insiders
have game the system, and the federal

148
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.600
bureaucracy is woefully institutionally incompetent. And
what's the president's solution for all of this.

149
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.240
He's proposed a draconian income pax hike. As a matter of fact,

150
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.720
he wants to take it beyond your
ink, wants to take it into an

151
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.559
asset tax on assets you haven't sold
yet. Okay, so after all of

152
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.159
them, they want more tax revenues
are an all time high. But the

153
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.000
buying administration they can't spend enough.
They want to spend and even more and

154
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.519
tax you more and penalize us the
citizen, the taxpayer. Unbelievable, got

Anjievsky, founder of Open Thebooks dot Com.

197
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:44.120
We're talking about our government spending and
are we getting our money's worth?

198
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.799
Adam, So, look, we're
not getting our money's worth. We're literally

199
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.000
getting ripped off. Our federal government
is literally ripping off its citizens. And

200
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.879
I you know, for the three
points that we outline in the first segment

201
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.519
here, it's not a dispute.
These are the facts. This is what

202
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:04.079
government tells us, this is what
we have found, giving oversight and following

203
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.599
the money at the federal level,
hard facts, no spin. And then

204
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:15.400
the abject you know, massive corruption
and fraud and stealing at the federal level

205
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.119
and the looting of our federal pandemic
aid. Yeah, you know, And

206
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:25.359
we come back to that question,
is the government too big? It?

207
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:32.039
Is it unmanageable? Are we expecting
unrealistic outcome here? Now we say that,

208
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:33.839
now the FEDS would say, well, that's because we don't have enough

209
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:40.039
people working for us already, right
any way, that would give them the

210
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.519
option to bloat the government even more. They'd be all over that, right.

211
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.799
Well, the head count in the
federal executive agencies, these are the

212
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:53.079
one hundred and twenty four federal agencies, the alphabet super federal agencies like the

213
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.960
IRS, like the Environmental Protection Agency, like the Social Security Administration, NASA,

214
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.920
Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, all of these, there's one

215
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.519
hundred and twenty four of those agencies
outside of the Pentagon, outside of the

216
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:14.359
spy agencies like the CIA and others. But if the headcounts are at a

217
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:19.880
modern day high now under Joe Biden, there's over one point four four million

218
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.720
federal bureaucrats in those agencies, So
they can't make the argument they need more

219
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.160
people. Look, this is exactly
why this moment in time is exactly why

220
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.839
our founders, you know, put
it in. They wanted a government that

221
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:41.160
was limited, and they rested the
power in this American experiment with the individual,

222
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.839
with the citizens. They are supposed
to work for us. And that's

223
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.960
why build transparency is so powerful,
and we believe it revolutionizes United States public

224
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:56.079
policy and politics because it properly orders
the system. We get to review their

225
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:02.440
spending and hold them accountable for tax
and spend decisions as it should be.

226
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:07.759
Adam, I mean, this is
a democratic republic. The three most important

227
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.079
words in our constitution is we the
people. But we the people cannot check

228
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.720
out. We have to hold them
accountable. We're spending too much time looking

229
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.920
at our cell phones or screens and
that sort of thing. I mean,

230
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:25.720
look at the average time spent now
in America on these screens. Bureaucracies,

231
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.839
governments, they love that kind of
diversion because they get to hide, they

232
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.240
get to hide the pe while we're
focused on these other things. Right exactly.

233
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.599
But you have to go back to
the constitutional basis of transparency. It's

234
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:44.880
in the Appropriations Clause of the United
States Constitution, which is powerful. It's

235
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.160
Article one, section nine, and
here's the transparency clause. There. It

236
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:55.799
says that a regular statement and account
of the receipts and expenditures of all public

237
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.960
money shall be published from time to
time. Well, look, there's a

238
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.880
clear interpretation today. It's post every
dime online in real time, open the

239
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.400
books. And there is a government
war on transparency. For example, the

240
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.279
office of Vice President. They don't
they reject all Freedom of Information Act requests.

241
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:23.599
He doesn't think she's she is bound
by the federal law on the Freedom

242
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:29.519
of Information Act, and so she
rejects all requests for her office. So

243
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.359
what does that mean. We don't
know who works for her office there.

244
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.079
You know, she's a heartbeat away
from the presidency. We know White House

245
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.640
payrolls. We don't know the payrolls
of the office of Vice Presidents into contracts

246
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.839
and spending. We don't know who
she's paying, we don't know what vendors

247
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.839
she has, we don't know what
contracts she's led. I mean, that's

248
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.279
that's just one example the war on
transparency at the federal level. It starts

249
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.680
with the office of Vice president.
Well, the arrogance of the vice president

250
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.160
not to be held accountable. She
knew when she took this office that there

251
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.200
was going to be accountability. But
unfortunately, this seems to be the rule

252
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.359
of law, particularly with one party
other than and you know, than the

253
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.920
other, and that is they're going
to waylay They're going to run out the

254
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.519
clock because uh, you know,
they go in four year cycles. Either

255
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.000
they're going if they get reelected,
hopefully they're in power and that stuff goes

256
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.319
away and they and they got cover. Otherwise, if they do get reelected

257
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.079
and you know, they don't have
the two they don't have control of the

258
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.440
two other legislative bodies, particularly the
House. Uh, then it becomes a

259
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.480
little bit of a challenge for him, and it becomes kind of a minor

260
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.319
annoyance because Meanwhile, look at they
got four years, they're going to divert.

261
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:47.319
They're going to straight arm us and
avoid answering those questions, and it'll

262
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.400
get caught up in you know,
in court perhaps you know, on the

263
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.119
outside, and by then they're out
of office, and guess what they're collecting

264
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.960
their retirement. Thank you very much. Well, and we ask one question

265
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.880
question whether it's at the federal level, the state level, or the local

266
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.759
level. Our auditors that open the
books dot com, we ask one question,

267
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.119
what government program is running well?
And we've never when we investigate,

268
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.079
when we follow the money, we've
never found a government program running well.

269
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:21.000
I don't care if it's in your
local township, your county, your state,

270
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.680
all the way to the federal government. And that's why this transparency and

271
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:32.319
citizen led revolution on transparency of public
expenditures is so important. We need to

272
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:37.119
hold them accountable for their decisions.
And so you know, we're talking about,

273
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.599
you know, what federal programs running
well? We can't find one.

274
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.079
And what is the Biden administration solution. It's to text you more, but

275
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:51.880
also to arm to staff up,
lawyer up, and arm up the irs

276
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:57.039
to squeeze more from you and so
that's the proposal that passed that Biden signed,

277
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:03.200
the eighty seven thousand new employees over
at the IRS bill. That's a

278
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.400
doubling of the IRS workforce. Okay, that's one hundred percent increase. And

279
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.000
our datat Open the Books dot com
we show a headcount at the IRS currently

280
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.839
of eighty two thousand coming into this
year this fiscal year. Hiring eighty seven

281
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.440
thousand would more than double the workforce. And then, of course we have

282
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:27.799
shown and broke the national story that
the IRS has purchased thirty five million dollars

283
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.559
worth of guns, ammunition, and
military style equipment since two thousand and eight,

284
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.279
and ten million of that was purchased
since the pandemics started. So they

285
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.440
are not only have they lawyered up, they're arming up, and it's time

286
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.839
to scale back the federal arsenal.
Even though they double the size of the

287
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.039
IRS, I'll guarantee you they still
won't be able to answer a phone.

288
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.880
That's problem over there right now.
You know why they're all working from home

289
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:04.279
right exactly. And the other the
other thing that is going to happen here

290
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.720
with the IRS. You know,
like you said, they're armed up.

291
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.400
They've got ammunition. They're not going
to be trained properly. This is a

292
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.599
hot mess. And it's not just
the IRS, but how many other government

293
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:26.440
institutions have weapons, you know for
these people that shouldn't even have we but

294
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.440
you said they're going to what are
they doing with guns? Well, right

295
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.240
now there are now more federal bureaucrats
with the Rest and Firearm Authority than there

296
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:40.119
are United States Marines. So federal
officers with the rest and Firearm authority that's

297
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:45.359
more than two hundred thousand, and
there's about one hundred and eighty seven thousand

298
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.640
US Marines. We show and Open
the Books dot com. Since two thousand

299
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:56.440
and six, that one hundred and
three federal agencies have purchased three point seven

300
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:02.039
billion dollars. That's with a b
guns, ammunition, and military style equipment.

301
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.240
So they definitely staffed up and armed
up. Okay, so you break

302
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:11.039
that down, that is twenty seven
traditional law enforcement agencies. These are under

303
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.839
the Department of Justice or the Department
of Homeland Security. These are traditional law

304
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:22.119
enforcement agencies at the federal level,
like the US Marshals, like the FBI,

305
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.960
like the Bureau of Prisons, like
the Secret Service, etc. You

306
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:36.319
have seventy six traditional paper pushing civil
administrative agencies seventy six of them, like

307
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.720
the IRS, like the EPA,
like the Department of Transportation, like the

308
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.319
Social Security Administration. Is everybody wants
a gun and a badge? I guess,

309
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:56.519
huh exactly? Who knew that the
National Institutes of Health founci's old agency

310
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.839
had a police force of over one
hundred and three officers. We took the

311
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:11.480
NIH police force and ranked it against
the nearly twelve thousand, two hundred local

312
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.960
police departments that exist across the country, and it would on headcount alone,

313
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:21.839
it would be larger than ninety five
percent of local police departments across the hunt

314
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:29.119
at NIH. Unbelievable. Tay,
we got to go to break. We've

315
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.039
got more from Open the Book's founder, Adam and Jisky right after they stay

touched your tools since the carpal tunnel
syndrome diagnosis. If these seemingly unrelated symptoms

319
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.480
sound familiar, talk to your cardiologist. Ask about Trendstarrett and amyloid cardiomyopathy or

364
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.880
out the government, Adam, I'm
convinced all you got to say is something

365
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:40.039
like transparency or accountability, and they
tuck and run. They they don't want

366
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.519
to deal with this I mean even
with the you know, Senate hearings or

367
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:48.640
house hearings of some of these government
officials. It is unbelievable, how embarrassing.

368
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:51.720
I don't know how they can you
know, go home and live with

369
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:56.359
themselves other than I guess they're so
ideologically fixed that they feel like, okay,

370
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.880
well, this is the game of
Captain mouse. The bureaucracy plays with

371
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.079
we the people, I guess,
right while, and it's not surprising,

372
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.200
you know, government is trying to
self actualize, you know, and become

373
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.559
a bigger part of our lives.
And this is why there's genius in the

374
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:17.000
founding of the country with the limitation
on government so individuals can flourish and make

375
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:21.680
no mistake, this is a unique
and rare moment in the last five thousand

376
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.559
years of human history because we're the
only people Bill and you know this that

377
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:32.240
in our founding documents, it recognizes
our inalienable rights. Our rights come from

378
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.920
God, they don't come from government. We instituted a government to secure our

379
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.079
rights, and that's why we need
transparency to be able to hold that government

380
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:45.119
accountable. Because knowledge is power,
exactly, Adam. This is why I

381
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.759
believe we have to represent the Declaration
of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was

382
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:56.160
our founding father's manifesto to the ruling
power of the time. Right they were

383
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.640
they were not serving them and right
now the current government is not serving us.

384
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:06.160
They're serving themselves. This idea of
being a servant to the people.

385
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:10.519
Those are just words. They ring
hollow because you know them by what they

386
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.119
produce, and what they produce are
things that favor them, like insider trading.

387
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.240
How does somebody come in and work
for government for one hundred and seventy

388
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.039
hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year
and they leave, you know, being

389
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:27.640
you know, becoming multi gazillionaires.
How do they do that? Yeah,

390
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.680
exactly, I think we know how
they do that. Yes, right,

391
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.279
so you know, I think the
best I think maybe I think you might

392
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:38.200
be able to find a clear answer. One hundred laptops hundred Biden's laptop two.

393
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.160
But you know, but there's nothing
to see here, right because again

394
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:45.400
that's part of that accountability transparency thing
that scares them. Well, our members

395
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:51.599
of Congress with their sharp net worth
increases the Biden family that's coming to lie

396
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.480
with their insider trading. Look,
these are just all symptoms Over the course

397
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:00.759
the last twenty years, the size, scope and hour of government at oil

398
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:06.720
levels has grown substantially. And you
know, the best example of this is

399
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.920
what we're talking about here with the
Internal Revenue Service. So let's take a

400
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:15.640
peek inside their gunlocker. Bill.
So, ahead of the pandemic, the

401
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.599
IRS, the tax Agency owned four
thousand, five hundred weapons. They had

402
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:29.640
stockpiled five million rounds of ammunition.
If you break down their gunlocker, what

403
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:35.839
you'll find is six hundred and thirty
nine semi automatic shot guns. You've got

404
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:40.039
five hundred and thirty nine long barrel
rifles. You've got fifteen submachine guns.

405
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:45.160
I mean, who knew that the
IRS needed a submachine gun? Right?

406
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.160
All right? Now? Since the
pandemic, you know, you've got a

407
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.119
massive amount of purchases. Two point
five million dollars worth of ammunition, another

408
00:33:53.160 --> 00:34:00.480
two point five million dollars worth of
ballistics shields, and then other various gear

409
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:06.039
for criminal investigative enterprises. That's how
it said. You got a half million

410
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.559
dollars spent on those shotguns. You
got a half million dollars spent on those

411
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:14.360
Smith and Wesson Air fifteen style rifles. You've got a half million dollars nearly

412
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.840
spent on tactical lighting. They've got
so much gear that each of their twenty

413
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:24.800
two hundred special agents they get a
tactical gear bag. They spent three hundred

414
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:31.000
and fifty thousand dollars on tactical gear
bags. They owe so much stuff,

415
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.239
Adam, I'd be curious to find
out when was the last time they were

416
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:39.239
trained to use that stuff. You
probably have some of those agents that have

417
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:44.920
a tactical gearbag that don't even know
how to open up the zipper because they've

418
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.400
never been into it. We're all
to me, which is a bad thing

419
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.840
to do. We should run an
investigation as to, you know, if

420
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:58.039
they're following federal law on the training
of their special agents. Because as we

421
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:02.239
all know, and it came to
light last fall in September, on the

422
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.599
job posting of the IRS Special Agent, one of the requirements for the job

423
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.559
you had to be willing to use
deadly force. Exactly when this trended on

424
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.559
national Twitter, they immediately stripped it
off the internet, but about a week

425
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:20.159
later they put it back on.
I mean, because it's honest. I

426
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.679
mean, yeah, if you're an
IRS Special Agent, you have to be

427
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:28.239
willing to shoot to kill. Yeah, you know that's amazing. I mean,

428
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.719
here we are, We've got put
eighty thousand SWAT raids across the country

429
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:36.000
every year, and I guess that's
not enough. Now we got to throw

430
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:40.280
the irs into the mix, which
is reminiscent of the Wild West gang that

431
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:45.559
can't shoot straight. I mean again, I'm thinking about training. You know,

432
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.199
for those of us who are responsible
gun owners, we know the training

433
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.159
is something that you have to do
ongoing. There was a commitment and based

434
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.280
on what we're seeing from the IRS, where they don't even show up for

435
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.679
work, you can't tell me that
the forty percent of the time they're not

436
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.920
showing up for work, that maybe
they're spending time at the range or doing

437
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:10.599
things that really advance their job and
their standing on behalf of the American people

438
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:14.840
well, and sometimes you know,
they don't have to do too much.

439
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.400
They don't have to pull out a
weapon. You remember, just a couple

440
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:23.400
of months ago when the journalist Matt
Tiabi went yes Congress and testified, and

441
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:28.719
on the same day he's in front
of Congress testifying about what he found in

442
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.519
the Twitter files. He was one
of the lead journalists on that file.

443
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.920
When Elon Musk opened up the books
of Twitter to show all of us what

444
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.360
was really going on at the intersection
of federal government, federal pressure, and

445
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:45.880
social media in this country. Well, Tiabi is testifying in front of Congress.

446
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.760
Meanwhile back home, his home gets
a visit from an IRS special agent,

447
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:55.679
and all that is is intimidation.
That's exactly the tax agency to intimidate

448
00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:00.079
a journalist when he goes in front
of Congress. Well they did that to

449
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:05.159
the American people with the Tea Party
patriots, as you'll recall, what were

450
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.599
they guilty of. They were guilty
of exercising their civic duty, their constitutional

451
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.719
rights in saying, look at we
want to hold our government accountable. We

452
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.840
want to know how they're spending the
money. We wanted downsize government. They

453
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:24.000
had some ideas and Boiltea. The
Obama administration didn't like it, so they

454
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.000
ended up kind of given a wink
and a nod to lowest learner and she

455
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.280
slow walked their tax exemption. Many
to this day did not, and the

456
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:37.559
Tea Party still as an organic organization, not to the level that it was

457
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.800
growing and could have been. And
clearly what they've been able to do you

458
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:45.800
talk about suppressing the vote. They
very skillfully were able to suppress the vote,

459
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:51.960
and I believe affect the outcome of
at least ten voting cycles well in

460
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.039
terms of like lowest learner, and
she was the tip of the spear on

461
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:58.440
that. You know, they allowed
her to retire on a full federal pension.

462
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.119
And here's the rub, we still
don't know how much she's receiving,

463
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:07.119
uh, you know, guaranteed by
taxpayers, partially funded by taxpayers, her

464
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.599
federal pension. Because all federal pensions, whether you're lowest learner or any retired

465
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:19.079
bureaucrat or a retired member of Congress
or your US senator, those federal payouts

466
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:24.440
are not subject to the Federal Freedom
of Information Act, so they're considered private

467
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:30.280
information, which that law needs to
be changed. I means, we guarantee

468
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.360
that pension, we help fund that
pension, we deserve to be able to

469
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:38.519
see that pension. Yeah, there
are things that you reported open the books

470
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.400
here, Adam. Is the new
minimum wage for a federal bureaucrat. I

471
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:50.159
mean, we're not talking fifteen dollars
an hour flipping burgers and McDonald's. This

472
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.559
is a pretty nice gig, as
a minimum wage as a federal employee,

473
00:38:53.639 --> 00:39:00.599
right, yeah, So it's one
hundred thousand dollars a year there are that's

474
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:07.119
that's the average pay of the one
point four four million federal bureaucrats within those

475
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.199
hundred and twenty four agencies that we
were talking about earlier. So not only

476
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.119
can't the Biden administration claim they need
more workers because the head counts at a

477
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:21.559
modern high, they are highly compensated
with the average cash compensation. This is

478
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:27.880
not including the cost of benefits,
which are lucrative. Probably another twenty five

479
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.719
thirty percent, right, I I
say forty percent now I used to say,

480
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:36.079
but I think forty is much more
accurate. It's either thirty five or

481
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.760
forty percent. You've got to tack
on to the cash compensation of one hundred

482
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:45.360
brand So each of those one point
four four million federal bureaucrats, they cost

483
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.199
tax payers on average about one hundred
and thirty five thousand to one hundred and

484
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:54.639
forty thousand dollars per position. Adam, Why is it that the government is

485
00:39:54.719 --> 00:40:00.679
hiding names and hiding this information from
Like you said, this has to stop.

486
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.400
What can we the people do to
demand that we get this information?

487
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.639
Well, there is. I'm glad
you brought this up. There is a

488
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:14.480
where wall though of the federal workforce
nowadays. The Buying Administration just redacted the

489
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:20.760
names of three hundred and fifty thousand
of those federal employees, so we don't

490
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.519
know who's receiving those paychecks. We
have to make there's twenty billion dollars,

491
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:34.039
well probably now about thirty five billion
dollars hidden in the swamp, with the

492
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:39.440
average pay of one hundred thousand dollars
apiece. And furthermore, there's about one

493
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:45.039
hundred and eighty thousand locations where they
are supposed to be working that are redacted,

494
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.000
So we don't know who by name
is receiving the federal paycheck, and

495
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.320
we don't know where they're working.
This is a real problem. I want

496
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.480
to put it in context. During
in twenty sixteen, during the last year

497
00:40:55.519 --> 00:41:01.719
the Obama administration, the Obama administration
redacted two thousand, three hundred names from

498
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:06.920
the federal payroll. The Binding Administration
just redacted three hundred and fifty thousand names.

499
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:08.519
Unbelievable. We got to go to
break. We'll pick it up from

500
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:23.960
there. More from Adam right after

539
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:42.239
with Adam ad Antiski, the author
of Open the Books, Drained the Swamp

540
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:47.519
Operation Drained the Swamp, and of
course he's the founder and president of Opened

541
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:52.920
the Books. And we're talking,
we're talking our money, we're talking transparency,

542
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.559
accountability of our government. Adam,
you're featuring a big story at opened

543
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:01.679
the Books dot com right now regarding
only earnst. And this is amazing for

544
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:07.960
our audience to hear that tracked over
one point three billion dollars. This is

545
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:15.960
US tax dollars sent to China and
Russia. China, I mean, are

546
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:20.480
these allies suddenly that we don't know
about what's going on here? Yeah,

547
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:24.880
I mean, we shouldn't be borrowing
money from China to paid China. That

548
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:30.599
doesn't make any sense. Here's why
our report bill is so important because Congress

549
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.880
tasked the Government Accountability Office, the
GAO, with finding out how much US

550
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.320
taxpayer money flowed into China over the
course of the past five years, since

551
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:45.960
twenty seventeen, and the GAO found
less than fifty million dollars forty eight million

552
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:51.400
dollars. Well, we found ten
times as much because our auditors that opened

553
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.920
the books dot com we know how
to dig. We went through the subgrants

554
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:59.679
and subcontracts, and so we tied
out nearly a half billion dollars into China

555
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:05.719
and nearly another billion dollars over that
same period into Russia nine hundred million dollars.

556
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:12.280
And we've found many troubling instances of
US taxpayers paying for things that are

557
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:17.559
quite frankly silly or raise questions of
national security. Exact, we're in a

558
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:23.280
war right now, a proxy war
at the least with Ukraine and Russia,

559
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:28.360
and we're giving them money. This
does not make sense. See, this

560
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:31.679
is what's so confusing for the American
people. We don't know who to believe

561
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:36.760
or what to believe anymore. Adam, I know it is confusing. Look,

562
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:40.079
we've been lost in space, for
example, with the Russians since two

563
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:45.880
thousand, at least two thousand and
five, when we've subsidized their space program

564
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:51.400
to the tune of four point one
billion with a B dollars. Just in

565
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.400
the last five years we've put over
We've put around eight hundred million dollars over

566
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:01.079
three quarters of a billion dollars into
the Russian space program, including their number

567
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:07.719
one rocket vendor. Okay, so
think about this. Money's fungible, especially

568
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:13.079
in a Department of defense. So
if the Russians ever shoot a rocket at

569
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:16.639
the United States, their rockets coming
over here, conceivably with technology that we

570
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:22.599
the taxpayer helped to subsidize, exactly. Yeah. And then here we are

571
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:27.760
with China, and there's this movement
and ongoing conversation about how we need to

572
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:35.360
decouple from China, and it seems
like we're just getting deeper and deeper entrenched

573
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:40.000
with them. Whether it's the Confucius
Institute at universities. We've got five six

574
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:47.400
police stations operating within the United States. All this money and suspicion of what's

575
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.519
going on between the Biden family and
that the reports that come out whistleblowers being

576
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:57.800
quieted. You know, this is
a hot mess at them. Well,

577
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:02.800
it's amazing how fast our federal agency's
lose track of US taxpayer dollars that they

578
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:07.440
dole out. So, for instance, there's no place on Earth that's received

579
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.800
more scrutiny over the course of the
last three years than the Wullan Institute of

580
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:15.239
Virology. Right Yet, we found, working with the Earns team, our

581
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:22.800
auditors found additional projects and additional US
dollars went into Wuan. We found one

582
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:29.000
point one million dollars flowed from the
US Foreign Aid Office. This is not

583
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.599
NIH the National in Health or the
CDC, the Centers for Disease Control.

584
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:38.159
This is US AID, a foreign
aid office of the United States government.

585
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.840
Here was the project that nobody knows
about. It was to identify known and

586
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.480
unknown viruses in wildlife and see if
they can jump to the human species.

587
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:54.079
This is material to the entire conversation
at the Wuhan Lab exactly. Yeah,

588
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:59.559
and how does it now? Yeah? And how does this happen without President

589
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:07.400
Obama not knowing about it? So
this was a sub sub assistance through Eco

590
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:15.039
Health Alliance to the Wuhan Lab.
And since it's a subgrant of a subgrant,

591
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.199
it's not disclosed by the FEDS.
We only know about it because one

592
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:22.920
number of Congress heard about it from
a whistleblower, wrote a letter to us

593
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:28.039
AID the Foreign Aid Office, and
they confirmed it in a letter. I

594
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:30.880
have a copy of the letter,
but this has not been given any press.

595
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:36.960
We found other projects from for instance, Cold Springs, Harbord's a national

596
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:43.599
lab through NIH into the Wuhan Institute
of Virology. We still don't know the

597
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:47.039
amount and we don't have good details
on the project, so there's still a

598
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:53.159
lack of transparency at this Wuhan lab. Well, this is this is amazing.

599
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:57.719
Of course, we're grateful, Adam
to you and the team for staying

600
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:01.840
on top of this and keeping us
in formed. Remind everybody where they need

601
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:06.079
to go to be in the flow
of the no so that they're part of

602
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:09.039
the solution and not adding to the
problem here. I like that Bill be
