New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a $53 million program offering 500 migrant families prepaid debit cards—$1,000 monthly for a family of four—after they reportedly rejected city-provided meals, with no tracking despite signed affidavits. Meanwhile, John Boada, a 22-year-old illegal immigrant, allegedly assaulted an NYPD officer yet walked free, taunting cameras with "F you," exposing flaws in "catch and release" policies. Critics like Candace Owens argue these programs strain taxpayers while enabling exploitation, suggesting voters’ past choices fueled systemic failures now backfiring on the city.

So I hope you're listening to this at work because there are people who need your money, people that are not in your family.
Namely, by the way, if you are an American, there's a lot of money that's going to migrants.
They need stuff.
You're not going to believe this story coming out of New York City.
Actually, you will.
I think now we're past the stage where we don't believe it anymore.
Um, so Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, has decided that $53 million need to go on to prepaid credit cards, prepaid debit cards, pardon, and be given to migrants to buy food and baby supplies.
Because what happened was the city was providing these migrants meals, and the migrants were like, we don't like these meals.
We want to decide what we want to eat all by ourselves.
You don't like what we're giving you?
Okay, so we will just give you prepaid debit cards and you can decide what you want to eat.
If you think I'm lying, I'm not.
This is real.
The pilot program is being rolled out at Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan with 500 families that are involved.
A family of four will get a card loaded with $1,000 a month, equivalent to $35 a day.
Now, the city is saying that they only want these cards to be used at bodegas, supermarkets, and delis.
And they're going to make the migrants sign an affidavit agreeing that that's how they'll spend their money.
And then, of course, they have no way to track it.
They'll have no idea because it's a prepaid debit card.
But, hey, trust the migrants.
Sure, they broke the law and came into this country, and they're continuing to break other laws in this country, but definitely once you get them to sign an affidavit agreeing that they are going to spend taxpayers' dollars at a bodega and they're only going to use it on food, we can totally trust them.
Yeah, I don't really know what to say, other than you should still feel bad for these people.
And here's another person that you should feel bad for.
Illegal migrants in New York City, by the way.
His name is John Bolada.
He's 22 years old, and he beat down a New York City police officer.
It was caught on camera, by the way.
Take a look.
So if you're listening to this podcast, it's illegal immigrants.
Their faces are covered.
They are kicking this police officer on the ground.
I'm not exactly sure what could have led to this, but if you are a migrant and this is your country that you came to to start a new life because you're just so poor and they just want opportunities just like Americans, yeah, this is not really the vibe.
So in case you're wondering what happened to him, you would go, oh, he must be in so much trouble.
Oh my gosh, I just realized that I said he was released after making bail.
No, he was released without bail.
There's no bail.
He's illegally released.
We don't want him to pay bail.
We don't want him to use his prepaid debit card.
That's ridiculous.
Just release him right back onto the streets.
That's what we're doing at the border.
It's just, you know, catch and release policy.
Why not do it in New York City?
And what did he have to say for himself?
F you.
That's what he wants you guys to know.
He's 22 years old and he wants you guys to know, F you.
Yes, I just beat up one of your police officers.
Who cares?
And what can I say to counter that?
If this is going to be our perspective as Americans, that we are not going to stand up for ourselves, that we are not going to expect the government to stand up for us, and we're going to continue to allow them to rake us over the coals financially for projects like this, trying to delude us into believing that these people just want an opportunity.
But at the end of the day, you get what you deserve.
