The COVID Cash Con

Where did the COVID relief money actually go? In this explosive weekend edition of The Morning Report, Willie Lawson uncovers the truth behind America’s biggest government payout in history — and the devastating aftermath. With over $4.6 trillion in federal COVID aid distributed across the country, states like California, New York, and Illinois aren’t just broke — they’re on life support. From robot dogs in LAUSD to DEI consultants in New York and luxury migrant housing in Chicago, this deep-dive episode exposes the truth about where that money really went — and why the people it was meant to help are still suffering. Meanwhile, small businesses closed, students fell behind, and inflation soared. Why? Because this wasn’t just mismanagement — it was a slow-moving, bureaucratic con that benefited unions, consultants, and political insiders while gutting American institutions. Key Topics:

• Where the $4.6 trillion in COVID aid actually went
• How California blew its surplus and fell into a $45B deficit
• The collapse of LAUSD and other major school districts
• Federal funding used to promote DEI, CRT, and woke agendas
• The permanent rise in dependency and government control
• How this “aid” became a pipeline for future crisis spending

Why It Matters:
Americans are feeling the squeeze — higher prices, declining schools, fewer police, and more chaos. This isn’t just fallout from a pandemic — it’s the result of deliberate political choices. And unless we expose the COVID Cash Con, the next “crisis” will bring more of the same. 📢 Subscribe now for honest, bold conservative media that doesn’t pull punches. 🧠 Join the fight: www.fightbackmedia.com

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, good grief, wherever
you are, whenever it is, wherever you're listening, watching, watching, watching,
My name is going to lost, and this is the
Morning Report. Were common sense, truth and a little right
too far collide now listen, Washington told us COVID money

(00:28):
was going to save the country. I remember, right, everybody
was sitting home waiting, you know, just hoping that they
wouldn't catch COVID. But they hoped, but they couldn't wait
to get that. Uh that's that Steminus check at COVID check. Right.
But they told us that COVID money was going to
save the country. And without spending that money, we were
going to be in the soup, right, we were going
to be cooked. They said it was for schools which

(00:51):
were closed, hospitals which were full. Infrastructure, the how you're
going to build bridges and dams and airports when everybody
is stuck inside? You remember fifteen days to fight the curve?
Remember the song? You remember that that really creepy kid
that sang the thank you Doctor Fauci song? Remember that,

(01:16):
It just it just got weird. It was it turned
it into two years, two weeks, turned it into two
years the fat in the bureaucracy. So today here what
we're gonna do. We're gonna follow the money because frankly,
four point six trillion dollars just doesn't freaking disappear. Was spent,

(01:40):
cash was siphoned, and you deserve to know where the
hell it went, you know, and who profited? Who got it?
You know, while Main Street was shut down, while they
were making sure that you couldn't go to work because
your business ain't essential, the strip clubs were open, the

(02:03):
bars were open. Yeah, but your but your restaurant, the
serve spaghetti can't do it, can't do it. Got to
close because y'all killing people right your gymnasium where people
go in to try to get healthy. H got gotta
shut that crap down? Why because you know, y'all killing

(02:24):
people people in them breathing. Now, the strip club and
the liquor store they're fine, fine, the Walmart fine, but
you you were shut down. Amazon worked like a char right,

(02:46):
So who profited? Well, I mean people shut down and
your kids were stuck at home or were learning on
some some basically half assed e learning uh program that
was that was together at the end. So what we're
going to do is that we're going to explore what

(03:09):
we're calling today the COVID cash con All right, let's

(03:36):
just talk some raw numbers. Between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty two, our federal government injected over four point six
trillion dollars into pandemic reliefs. And all they did was
go to the FED and say, go to the Fed,
and the men, go print them some money. We didn't

(03:57):
have this money. And this wasn't money sitting and reserved somewhere.
This is brand new, never been, never been released money. Right,
four point six trillion dollars in pandemic relief into the economy.
That's more than the cost of World War two when

(04:17):
a justified inflation. So where to go? Billions went to
blue state bureaucracies like California. California used federal funds to
send twelve hundred dollars payments twelve hundred dollars payments to
illegal immigrants under their California Dream Fund. Like Moonbeam, he

(04:46):
still run in the state. New York dumped millions into
anti racism training for teachers statewide while the school were closed. Chicago, Chicongo,
Chicago funded DEI consultants and free housing for legal immigrants

(05:15):
in luxury hotels. Welcome with all New York was doing it. Oh,
I remember the LA School district we talked about that
yesterday they bought a robot dog, a robot dog for
over seventy thousand dollars with pandemic relief funds. Now, the

(05:35):
thing is the robot could patrol hallways, but not fix
the fact that less than thirty five percent of students
can read at grade level. They bought a seventy thousand
dollars robot dog to patrol hallways. Now, all this is
crony contracts, nonexistent oversight. In Pennsylvania, a firm tied to

(06:01):
a state representative won a no bid contract to manage
relief dollars and promptly build a state ninety thousand dollars
for equity outreach. Meanwhile, no small small businesses were shut
out literally often forced to close, while massive corporations like

(06:25):
like we were talking about Amazon Walmart target breaked in
the pandemic profits. Listen, let's speak clear. This wasn't mismanagement.
This was a wealth transfer, a slow moving paper covered
looting of the American taxpayer. So after all that money,

(06:53):
Wyer states still broke. Let's talk. California Governor Gavin Newsom
was handed hundreds of billion dollars in federal aid. He
spent it like a man who thought the gravy train
was never going to end. But this year the state starting,

(07:14):
excuse me, the state is staring down a forty five billion,
forty five billion with a b deficit. You know it's
bad when even the La Times started asking questions. The
Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district

(07:35):
in the nation, is on the brink. They announced delayed
staffing cuts to quote save thirty million dollars, but is
still expected to run a deficit. That's over four hundred
million dollars, nearly a half of billion dollars. Meanwhile, student

(07:57):
out comes have crash. Absence, theism is through the roof.
You know. It's funny. When we came back from COVID,
I was talking to parents, I was talking to some teachers,
and everybody in just two short ears sort of forgot
how to school. He just forgot how to do school.
More and more kids, you know, and you see what

(08:19):
adults who showing up everywhere in their damn pajamas. What
put the freaking clothes on. You're going outside, you're gonna
be around people. You're going to school, doret some damn
clothes on. No, you may not wear your bonnet. No
you may not wear your slippers. Know, you may not.
No you may not wear your pajama bottoms. No you

(08:40):
may not. People just sort of forgot how to school.
And if they and if they come at all, you know,
Susie didn't feel good, she's got a headache, does doesn't
feel like going, so they don't go. Absenteeism is through

(09:02):
the roof in schools, and not just in California. I
wish it was just there, because then we could just
build a big fence and shove them into shove them
into the Pacific Ocean. But it's everywhere, and it's through
the roof. In Illinois, the state pension as a state
pension crisis, pensions, pensions, pensions, pensions, the idea in twenty

(09:27):
twenty five that here's what we're gonna do. We're going
to pay you money for not working. Thank you for
working for thirty years. Now here's some money and go home.
I'm gonna pay you every month. I'm gonna pay you
every month for not working. I mean, so there's a crisis. Surprise,
it's a freaking surprise already, it's unsustainable, I mean it's ballooning.

(09:54):
Thanks to covid Air payroll spikes, many union workers were
given perment raises, permanent raises, let me help you again,
permanent raises using temporary relief funds, permanent raises, permanent raises
using temporary relief funds. And in New York, Mayor Eric

(10:19):
Adams is cutting police, fire and sanitation service to avoid
to afford housing and services for tens of thousands of
Leegal immigrants who are being busted in by federal coordination
and state subsidies. The states weren't just careless, they weren't

(10:42):
bolden because if they believed that Washington would bail them
out forever. Now you're feeling it. Inflation to anybody fueled
by money printing to cover this spending, skyrocketing rints, government

(11:03):
programs soaked the housing market, school failure, DEI and zoom
classrooms instead of discipline and instruction, dependency trillions created new
voter trained trained to expect handouts because people even now,
people are still theying. I wanted to move, I want

(11:23):
to move on. Get you know our stimulus check? Are
you serious? We have thought about this ten years ago,
twenty years ago, where people were just sitting around, Well,
we wanted here in this house because I was still working.

(11:45):
I was working from home. My life was still working.
He was working from a home. Unfortunately, my son was
not working because he can't do his job from home.
What he does every day, he can't do from home
stop possible. And he was lookingging caged animal. So what
we wondered, how are people living? If you worked at

(12:07):
I don't know, the Pigley, Whiggley or somewhere and it
was closed, how are you living? How are you paying
your rent? How you how? How are you on the
internet doing this and that and the other? How are you?
How were you doing stuff? How are you How are
you surviving? Were you just living off the stimulus? We're

(12:29):
just getting that stimmy and you're just making it last.
What was going on? Trillions of voters are now thinking
that every time there's a crisis, they need to get
a check from the government, from the federal government. This
wasn't by accident. This was a restructuring of the relationship

(12:50):
between government and citizen. This was part of the Great reset,
which people continue to say was some sort of conspiracy theory,
except if you if you had gone through the war,
the UH, the the the the Well Economic Forum that
you saw in their way on their website. But you

(13:12):
and I know once you've become dependent on Washington, you
are no longer free. And we know that. And now
as things go on and we find more and more
stuff out, will anybody be held accountable? Well, really, the
short answer is no. But that doesn't mean we should

(13:35):
stop talking. That doesn't mean we should stop pulling receipts,
and it definitely doesn't mean we should we should stop fighting.
Our job now is to call it out, wake folks up,
and demand accountability, even if the swamp laughs in our
face because no one, if no one pays for the
COVID cash con, they'll just do it again, or just

(13:57):
keep doing it next time. It may be climate or
maybe gun violence or equity, but the method's the same. Crisis, panic, spend, control, repeat, olk.
