WASHINGTON — Yesterday, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) chaired a hearing in his Homeland Security Subcommittee exposing the widespread fraud in state and federal programs, as well as the dark money groups sponsoring radical left-wing subversion in America’s streets.
“You testified that about a trillion dollars you think is lost in fraud every year. Where’s this money going?” Chairman Hawley asked Haywood Talcove, CEO of Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions.
Talcove responded, “It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs… and then it’s used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That’s all funded by people like me that pay taxes… $115 million an hour.”
Senator Hawley asked, “How do they get their hands on it?”
Talcove answered, “They go into programs that they know elected and appointed officials won’t touch, and they can steal at scale. And what happened really was during the pandemic… they learned a valuable lesson: the government never runs out of money and the probability of getting caught is virtually zero.”
