This video features a commentary on a debate regarding the Department of Defense's (DOD) inability to pass a financial audit. The host criticizes the liberal perspective, arguing that the lack of financial accountability and the existence of food insecurity among military personnel are clear indicators of systemic waste, fraud, and corruption within the government.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how liberals think.
And these are both liberals you're looking at,
but one of them is at least using a tad of common sense,
which of course is almost unheard
of from the liberal left, well, crazy left.
Incredible clip here. I just want to let y'all have it here.
Kathleen Hicks explains why the DOD can't pass an audit.
She thinks that they should not have to explain where the money went,
and if they can't pass
an audit, it doesn't mean that anything's gone wrong.
It just means that, well, I guess they didn't have a very good system.
You tell me what she says.
Another liberal thinker.
There is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse within a system.
Audits and waste, fraud, and abuse are not the same thing.
So let's decompose these pieces.
Then please educate me on what's the difference.
Sure.
So an audit is exactly what you just described,
which is do I know what was delivered to which place?
Right.
The ability to pass an audit or the fact that the DOD has
not passed an audit is not suggestive of waste, fraud, and abuse.
That is completely false right there.
So, now, it's a question of, it's suggested that we can't, we don't
have an accurate inventory that we can pull up of what we have where.
That is not the same as saying we can't do that because waste,
fraud, and abuse has occurred.
So, in my world, that's waste.
How is that waste?
If I give you a billion dollars
and you can't tell me what happened to it,
That, to me, is wasteful.
That means you are not responsible.
But if you can't tell me where it went,
then what am I supposed to think?
And when there has been reporting, I mean, this is not,
look, I'm not saying this is on you and that you caused this,
but I think it's a tough argument to make that
an $850 billion budget to an organization
that can't pass an audit and tell you where that money went
Like, I think most people would consider
that somewhere in the realm of waste, fraud, or abuse
because they would wonder why that money isn't well accounted for.
And especially
when they see food insecurity on military bases, and they see...
I want to talk about that, because that's a good...
We should be talking...
I mean, I don't understand where you're trying to go,
other than the dollars, which...
Wait, we spent all the money on DEI hires and LGBTQ parties.
She just doesn't want to admit it.
Where there's, well,
people going hungry that work for the military and their families.
And they put their lives on the lines for this country.
Meanwhile, we're spending it on a Sesame Street episode in Iraq.
I think it doesn't really bother me.
I think it's all connected.
Okay.
Tell me that story.
Tell me how you feel about that.
Well, when I see a State Department get a certain amount of money
and a military budget be ten times that,
and I see a struggle within government to get people,
like, more basic services,
and then that department that got that,
I mean, we got out of 20 years Pentagon,
and I've got a $50 billion dollar raise.
Like, that's shocking to me.
Now, I may not understand exactly the ins
and outs and the incredible...
Uh, magic of an audit, but I'm a human being who lives on the earth
and can't figure out how $850 billion to a department means
that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps.
Like to me, that's ******* corruption. I'm sorry.
And if like, if that blows your mind, and if you think like,
that's like a crazy agenda for me to have, I really think.
That that's institutional thinking
and that it's not looking at the day-to-day reality of the people
that you call the greatest fighting force in the world.
So I just, again, I get back to this idea of like,
I'm not looking to pick a fight with you, but I am surprised at that.
The reaction to these questions are,
you don't know what an audit is, bucko.
That's just weird.
So this should, should in fact prove to you that
Democrats don't have any of the people's best interests at heart.
It's all a big slush fund that moves around as much as it needs to
before it goes into their pockets,
and they buy their third or fourth multimillion-dollar home.
Example, Kamala Harris.
Example, Bernie Sanders.
Example, we can go on and on.
Gavin Newsom, and on and on and on.
These people are nothing but grifters,
grifters, and thieves.
God bless you and yours.
