And so these 1,000 companies, collectively, they amount to a quarter of all 8A contractors in

And they brought in $5 billion in contracts, just the noncompliant ones, over the last couple of years.

Yeah, exactly.

And earlier this month, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the Pentagon is definitely the biggest spender on these 8A contracts.

He said that because of 8A, $100 million contracts were going out the door without competition literally nearly every single day, believe it or not.

And he pledged reforms.

You can hear him talking about it here.

And we at The Daily Wire actually just published a pretty wild story that illustrates this exact situation.

Years ago, the military paid a homeless lesbian $19 million to manufacture training uniforms after she established an LLC and got it certified as a woman-owned Hispanic disadvantaged business.

Her name is Rhonda Valas, a California aspiring musician, and she got the designation because her father was German, Irish, and Spanish.

And she didn't even have any ability to actually produce clothes.

I spoke to a factory owner, a white male, who wound up actually doing the work for that contract.

He said she told him, quote, I got this government contract.

Do you know anybody with a factory who can help me perform it?

He said she never owned a machine.

And he said this whole 8A thing is a farce.

So in this case, I actually obtained a contract that's more explicit than you usually see it.

It puts the scheme right in black and white.

Yeah, I mean, to get anything, because they don't know.

It takes the decision away from the government official and goes through this third party, and we don't really know who they are passing it off to.
