As any free market economist can tell you, incentives matter. Until now, hiding the fraud has been more lucrative than finding it. But Trump may be tipping the scale.
So many of the left’s big-money donors that want to keep the government gravy train going have a hand in the media companies themselves. Maybe they’re connected to ad companies. Or they run hedge funds. Or they run journalism institutes and mentorships. Or they run awards programs. The ability of money to corrupt institutions — including the media ‘watchdogs’ is limited only by their creativity. And when it comes to scheming, they can be plenty creative when there’s money on the line.
No wonder they squealed like stuck pigs when DOGE came to town, or USAID cuts started to roll out, or we started seeing Hospice and Learing center fraud rings start being exposed on massive levels.
Trump called some of his fraud squad dream team to the Oval Office, giving the public an update on all of the ‘nothing’ they keep telling us is happening. The tally of how much fraud has been exposed and shut down is now up to about a quarter TRILLION dollars.
We’re starting to talk about some real money. And we’re still getting warmed up.
Here is the entire video of the presser they held in the Oval Office…
And here a couple of clips that have been highlighted for anyone not able to watch the full hour:
Trump announcing the commission to be earned for anyone reporting fraud (as with any such reporting, we can it will be results-based once fraud is proved). He specifically invited reporters to get in on the rewards, which makes sense if anyone in traditional media still remembers what it looks like to do investigative reporting, instead of playing stenographer for Chuck Schumer and his pals.
Report fraud, earn a commission.
Under President @realDonaldTrump’s new Whistleblower Incentive Program, anyone who exposes a fraudster pockets 1% of every dollar recovered, and that includes journalists who dig up the truth. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/pu9oE9hKVd

The Veep had something to say about how he’s enjoying his role, and where the idea of a finder’s fee first came from:
Report fraud, earn a commission.
VP @JDVance: “We were talking about ideas for how to enlist our fellow citizens to help us do the work of fighting the fraud, and the president said, ‘Well, do a commission, do an incentive program. Actually reward people when they save the American taxpayer a lot of money.’” https://t.co/c2GpLYGSQo

And true to form, Stephen Miller Reminded us what exactly the stakes are in this coming election:
.@StephenM: "The Democrats’ plan is they want to bring in another 10, 20, 30 million more people to loot you and rob you and take everything you have. President Trump is the one leader in American history who stood up and said this isn’t going to happen anymore." https://t.co/VO2yJC9RnT

As if to underscore Miller’s point, we’re seeing rumblings of a brand new migrant caravan licking their chops over the possibility of a BIG Blue Wave midterm.
BREAKING: Another large migrant caravan is leaving Mexico’s southern border right now in an attempt to reach the United States.
Some members of the caravan, which is mostly comprised of Central Americans, told me they are hopeful Democrats win the midterms. https://t.co/uiFQzHNrzd
