Jack Armstrong 0:08
We're not boring. A lot of news is boring. And tedious. And depressing. And makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth. And help you figure out this crazy modern world.
Dan Wetzel 0:21

Jack Armstrong 0:26
We have a winner. Yes. Listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Donald J. Trump 0:35
It's going to end soon, but because they can't go on, they can't go on. Their nation's destroyed. But I have to say, you have a little higher, you have a higher gain. It's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. Remember that it's a little more. It's even if it was, frankly, even if it was a lot more. But that's going to come tumbling down. That's going to be like a rocket ship in reverse. And don't forget that
Ben Ferguson 1:00
you're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got several big stories for you. The Trump administration's fraud crackdown is now uncovering another massive scheme. 12 people are now charged in an alleged $10 million California daycare fraud operation. And the DOJ says this is just the tip of the iceberg. They also have much bigger nationwide indictments that I'm going to break down for you as well. And those are costing you not millions, but billions of dollars of your tax dollars going to foreign countries. Now, I have all those details for you, and I'm going to get to that in just a moment. The midterm elections, they're heating up Congress and control and the president's agenda.
Ben Ferguson 1:49
They hang in the balance and every headline has the potential to shift those odds. Well, in Cal State, you can trade major primaries, you can trade election outcomes and the biggest political storylines as they happen. I am taking a look at a lot of the different races, including who controls the House or the Senate. Yeah, that's up there right now. You can also look at races where you are, or the big races that everyone's talking about. For example, will Kim Paxson defeat James Tallarico in Texas? Right now, Paxson is currently trading at 50%, meaning a $100 trade would pay out $93 if he beats Tallarico. Now, one of the things you've got to check out is Calshi's new midterms hub. It's where all the races are.
Ben Ferguson 2:34
Whether it's the House, the Senate, or the Tallarico and Paxson, they're all there for you. On Calshi, you're trading against peers in a live market, meaning there's no house. And as the probability changes... you can buy in and out of your position. So download the Kalshi app. And if you use the code Ben, you get $20 when you trade $20. So use that promo code Ben. Kalshi.

Ben Ferguson 3:20
Morning Update, and it starts right now. Fraud is something we focus on often on this show, and it seems that we keep finding a lot more of it. This time, even more shocking, and yet again, coming out of, yeah, California. The Justice Department has announced that 12 individuals have now been charged in Southern California. And what they're describing is an alleged home daycare massive fraud scheme involving more than $10 million in taxpayer-funded child care money. And wait until you hear how prosecutors say this actually worked.

How did the Southern California daycare operators allegedly steal $10 million in child‑care subsidies?

Ben Ferguson 3:55
The money was supposed to help, quote, low-income families pay for child care. Instead, the federal prosecutors now allege that millions of dollars were funneled to bogus or fraudulent daycare operations that were claiming taxpayer money for child care they allegedly were not actually providing.
