Chapter 1: What is the significance of Donald Trump's pardons?
Welcome to part one of Who the F Did I Pardon? And I'm saying that it's part one because the list of absolute buffoons that Donald Trump has pardoned might just each deserve their own episode. You might be wondering, why are you wearing sunglasses? Why are you channeling Tim Dillon today? It's because I'm done. I'm done.
I was watching The Toast recently, and it's my favorite pop culture podcast, and they joked that when they wear sunglasses, it feels like they can be even more authentic. It is their true selves, you know, unburdened by what has been. They're hiding behind the sunglasses, and I honestly, I really felt that today.
The last three episodes have been a lot of griping, I would say, blackpilling, talking about the Trump administration. Tomorrow, I am committing to turning a new leaf. We will be talking about Christine Owens' big booby cross-dressing husband. Unfortunately, that story broke as I was sitting down to write this episode, so there was not time for me to do that today.
But don't worry, don't worry, we will cover that tomorrow. But for now... Let's finish this trifecta of black-pilled episodes while I try to explain to people, maybe the Trump administration, why voters, why the American people are just a little bit displeased. And today's story is a great example of that. And I am once again just asking the Trump administration to maybe consider hiring some PR.
Like, consider the optics. Well, foremost, I should say, because this really isn't about the optics, I am asking them to be transparent. to prioritize not being corrupt, to be consistent with the things that they ran on, you know, the mandate that the American people gave Donald Trump.
But we do have to admit that it really is hilarious that their comms team acts like everything that's going on is totally peachy and that it makes complete and total sense.
And if you are confused as to what I might be referring to today, if you don't know what's going on based on the title or the thumbnail, well, guys, it's time for you to meet a man named Joseph Schwartz, the man involved in a $35 million nursing home tax fraud scheme who was pardoned by Trump only three months into his prison sentence. Here he is, the man himself, Joseph Schwartz.
This man stole from his employees. He stole from the American taxpayers, and even worse, is the way that people were treated within his nursing homes. And while the Trump administration is allegedly cracking down on fraud, he gets pardoned. Let's talk about it.
So the story is, between 2017 and 2018, this man, this gentleman, Joseph Schwartz, he withheld over $38 million in payroll taxes from his employees, but he did not pay them. He pocketed that money. He was also over-billing Medicaid for the federal funds that he was receiving for this conglomerate of nursing homes.

Chapter 2: Who is Joseph Schwartz and what crimes did he commit?

All right, now on a less positive note, back to the story, fast forward a couple of years, Joseph Schwartz pled guilty in April of 2025, so just last year, and was sentenced to three years in prison and was only required to pay $1.5 million in restitution, which is very important to the story.
And then in November of last year, just a couple of months later, Trump gave him a full and unconditional pardon. However, it's important to note that this did not absolve him of state-level prosecution, and so after being released from federal prison in November, he then had to turn himself into an Arizona state-level facility. However, as of last month, he has been granted parole.
But while he essentially gets to walk free, the families, the victims, receive nothing. The employees. received nothing, the taxpayers not being refunded the tens of millions of dollars that he overbilled and defrauded Medicaid.
And it's not that he just doesn't have money, that he's some broke individual now because he and his people actually spent almost $1 million on lobbyists to help him get out of prison. $1 million to lobby the DOJ, the Trump administration, to get him out of prison. And that is just a drop in the bucket compared to the fortune that this man allegedly still has hiding somewhere because guess what?
The government never seized his assets. They never even made him pay a fraction of what he stole. Listen to this. This was in that ProPublica article. The investigation never determined where the money went.
Prosecutors said that they were not able to establish that Schwartz had used the money on a lavish lifestyle, but they said they never completed a forensic accounting of his finances, which moved money through more than 200 bank accounts. They said they believe Schwartz still controlled more than $50 million in assets. I guess. It's out there somewhere. They don't know. They didn't really check.
But they think he still got $50 million. Like, of course. Obviously. That's what happened. But guys, don't worry. Don't worry because thanks to his pardon from Donald Trump, he was able to join the White House Hanukkah Party. And that's really all that matters. Isn't. So, snaps for that. You defrauded the government. Elderly people died because of maggots and gangrene.
But at least you got to go to the Hanukkah Party. I have no words. And the best part is, while he was at the Hanukkah party, he made sure to go thank his friend, Laura Loomer, who had advocated for him with the president.

Chapter 3: How did Schwartz's actions affect nursing home residents?
I can be on the sabbatical until someone is arrested. But I'm not going to put my people's life in danger every week for nothing to happen.
And he makes a great point. And I don't blame him in the slightest. Because the American people are watching as James O'Keefe and my friend Savannah Hernandez and Nick Shirley and Cam Higbee expose all of these things while nothing happens. Meanwhile, we are still dealing with Iran. And the goalpost continues to be moved and shifted. The government is still shut down.
Republicans cannot get the SAVE Act passed. We can't even get basic voter ID. Trump is saying that he's done with mass deportations. But sure, we've got a task force to handle fraud. I'm just, I'm tired. I'm tired. Essentially what I'm trying to say is, we'll believe it when we see it. Anyway guys, I'll see you tomorrow. We will talk about Big Boobie Noam. I'll see you then.
