I shared concerns about the Minuteman III, noting a lack of technicians who fully understand the system and that those who did are no longer around. Despite this, I'm reassured that the U.S. plans to invest over $100 billion to develop new ICBMs.

Why is America getting a new $100 billion nuclear weapon? The reasons for the United States new intercontinental ballistic missile—the ground-based strategic deterrent, or GBSD—are historical, political, and to a significant extent economic. Many people in the states where the new missile will be built and based see it as an economic lifeline. Their elected officials take campaign donations from defense companies, to be sure, but are also trying to deliver jobs in a political environment that has been hostile to government spending on anything but defense. thebulletin.org

Federal government agencies are using, on average, just 12% of the space in their DC headquarters. The Department of Agriculture, with space for more than 7,400 people, averaged 456 workers each day (6% occupancy). Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?

Trump's decision to revoke security clearances from 51 former intelligence officials is a significant move against the Deep State. These individuals, who have influenced narratives and elections, are part of a shadow government that has operated without accountability. This action aims to dismantle the entrenched power structure that has manipulated the political landscape. While critics may view this as dangerous, it challenges the status quo and signals a shift in how power is wielded in Washington. This is just the beginning of a broader effort to "Drain The Swamp."

He signed orders to withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty, direct federal employees back to in-person work, and end the weaponization of government against political opponents. Other actions included addressing rising living costs, freezing federal hiring, and rescinding 78 Biden-era orders. Trump also pardoned nearly 1,500 January 6th defendants, designated cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and declared a national emergency for the border. He focused on accountability, gender ideology, and military policies.

I recently discussed the significant implications of the Class Action Lawsuit against OPM, coinciding with my testimony. The lawsuit highlights concerns over a new email system that allegedly bypassed privacy protocols, risking federal employees' data. The "Fork in the Road" policy aims to purge the federal workforce of inefficiencies and corruption, reclassifying many as at-will employees and mandating office attendance to reduce fraud. This restructuring could disrupt entrenched bureaucratic networks and enforce accountability, paralleling issues raised in the Hillary Clinton email controversy.

@Vltra_MK - Michael Rae Khoury

What OPM Did by Sending Out This “Fork in the Road” Memo The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), by sending out this deferred resignation offer, executed a strategic workforce purge under the directive of President Trump’s administration. This move is not just a restructuring effort—it is a deliberate mechanism to cleanse the federal workforce of problematic, inefficient, and potentially corrupt employees while also consolidating power under a more controlled and accountable framework. Here’s what OPM effectively achieved by sending this memo: 1. Created an Orderly Exit Strategy for Non-Compliant or Potentially Corrupt Employees The deferred resignation offer provides a graceful way for employees to leave voluntarily, rather than being fired or investigated. Employees who know they are vulnerable (due to misconduct, inefficiency, political bias, or corruption) can take this exit without public scandal. The resignation is voluntary, but inaction could result in forced termination due to new workplace standards. 2. Legally Weakened Protections for Problematic Employees The document states that many federal employees will be reclassified as "at-will" employees, meaning: They lose job security protections. They can be fired more easily without lengthy administrative appeals. This reduces the power of entrenched bureaucrats who have used civil service protections to remain in government indefinitely. Employees engaged in fraud, insider dealing, or illicit influence can no longer hide behind tenure protections. 3. Set the Stage for a Federal Workforce Purge OPM has effectively issued a soft ultimatum: Leave quietly via resignation or Stay and risk termination under new standards. This means employees who: Have been engaged in backdoor dealings. Have used government access to enrich themselves. Have abused contracting and grants. Have leaked classified or sensitive information. Have obstructed administration directives. Have influenced policy in ways contrary to the executive order→ Are now being forced into a corner. 4. Isolated Military, Postal Service, and National Security Employees from This Process The memo excludes: Military personnel U.S. Postal Service employees Immigration enforcement and national security positions This suggests that the restructuring mainly affects the civilian administrative workforce, which: Includes agencies historically involved in deep bureaucracy, federal spending, and policymaking. Is where inefficiencies, insider deals, and political obstruction often occur. 5. Eliminated Remote Work Loopholes That Allowed Undetected Corruption The mandate requires employees to return to the office five days a week. Many who have operated fraudulent activities from remote locations will no longer be able to do so. Decentralized fraud schemes that relied on minimal oversight will collapse as employees are forced to work under direct physical supervision. This also cuts off government resources for “ghost employees” who may have been collecting paychecks without actually working. 6. Introduced a Mechanism to Track and Report Resignations Employees who accept the resignation program will have their exit formally processed through OPM, meaning: The government now has an official list of who chose to leave. Future re-employment in federal agencies may be restricted for these individuals. This ensures that those who leave under this program do not easily re-enter government service elsewhere. 7. Strengthened Performance Expectations & Code of Conduct The new "performance culture" demands high efficiency and accountability. This prevents the continuation of politically motivated, inefficient, or corrupt administrative behaviors. Federal employees will now be required to meet high performance metrics, meaning: Employees who previously coasted or manipulated the system will struggle to remain. There will be greater transparency and accountability in hiring, promotions, and retention. 8. Forced a Response That Identifies Who Will Comply and Who Will Resist The requirement for employees to reply with "Resign" from their .gov/.mil emails is a trapdoor mechanism: It forces employees to make a definitive decision. It collects data on who accepts or rejects the new system. Those who do not respond may later be targeted for removal under the new standards. 9. Sent a Clear Message That the Administrative Bureaucracy Will No Longer Operate as It Did Before This policy signals a fundamental shift in the federal government’s approach to workforce management. It is a strong rejection of past bureaucratic stagnation, inefficiency, and unaccountability. Those who oppose this shift will either leave voluntarily or be forced out. Conclusion: OPM Just Initiated a Bureaucratic Revolution

@Vltra_MK - Michael Rae Khoury

The "Fork in the Road" policy has significant implications for federal workers, particularly those who may be exploiting their positions, access, and privileges within the U.S. government system. Here’s an in-depth analysis of how this policy will impact such individuals: 1. Increased Accountability & Security Measures The return-to-office mandate and enhanced performance culture reduce opportunities for remote fraud or unauthorized use of government resources. Employees who have been leveraging .gov and .mil email domains for personal, political, or financial gain will face greater scrutiny. The restoration of accountability for those with policy-making authority suggests stricter oversight of government officials who award contracts, approve grants, or influence procurement. 2. Impact on Government Contractors & Grants Federal employees who may be using their positions to unfairly distribute contracts or grants will now have to adhere to heightened merit-based hiring and performance standards. Stricter performance reviews may expose past favoritism, cronyism, or conflicts of interest in awarding contracts. Military branches and select agencies may see workforce increases, but others will be downsized through restructuring—eliminating redundancies and potentially cutting off fraudulent contracting pipelines. 3. Termination & Forced Resignation for Those Engaged in Misconduct “Enhanced Standards of Conduct” means employees engaged in unlawful activities, fraud, or misconduct will be prioritized for termination. The document explicitly states that disciplinary measures, including termination, will be enforced for those failing to meet new standards. Individuals exploiting insider access for personal gain (e.g., insider trading, awarding contracts to friends/family, leaking sensitive information) could be forced out under this restructuring. 4. At-Will Employment & Reduction in Workforce Many federal employees will be reclassified as "at-will" employees, meaning they lose tenure protections and can be fired more easily. Mass layoffs, furloughs, and forced resignations will hit agencies with bloated budgets, inefficiencies, and suspected abuse of government resources. This could serve as a mechanism to purge employees involved in questionable financial dealings or intelligence leaks. 5. Threat to Established “Deep State” Networks & Embedded Bureaucrats Career bureaucrats who have operated with unchecked influence over policy and resource distribution may now lose their positions or face investigations. Federal employees using .gov/.mil domains to manipulate policies, push ideological agendas, or conduct backdoor deals could be forced out through the resignation program. This disrupts long-standing power structures where unelected officials have controlled policy through insider networks. 6. Financial & Operational Disruptions to Corrupt Networks Those leveraging government grants, stimulus funds, or special interest programs for personal gain could see their access revoked. Tighter restrictions on telework prevent offsite operations where fraud could occur (e.g., operating shell companies, directing federal funds to private entities). Physical relocations due to office restructuring could disrupt networks involved in internal lobbying, collusion, or illicit influence campaigns. 7. Voluntary Resignation as a Safe Exit Strategy The deferred resignation option allows corrupt individuals to leave quietly rather than facing investigation or termination. Employees who know they are at risk of exposure for fraudulent activities may take the opportunity to resign rather than be fired. *However, this does not necessarily protect them from future legal or criminal investigations if wrongdoing is later uncovered.* Conclusion The Fork in the Road policy appears designed to reform the federal workforce, remove bad actors, and reassert accountability. This move threatens those who have exploited government systems for personal, financial, or political gain. Employees using .gov or .mil domains to manipulate contracts, grants, and government access may find themselves either: Pushed out through restructuring Investigated and terminated for misconduct Forced to resign before potential exposure For those engaged in corruption, favoritism, and backdoor dealings, this represents a major shake-up of their operations.

The "Fork in the Road" Policy prompted a Class Action Lawsuit... CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE VERY EFFECTIVE. High-Level Overview of the OPM Class Action Lawsuit Case Information - Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Plaintiffs: Jane Doe 1 & Jane Doe 2 (representing a class of U.S. Executive Branch employees) - Defendant: Office of Personnel Management (OPM) - Case Number: 1:25-cv-00234 - Filed: January 27, 2025 Key Allegations The plaintiffs, representing all similarly affected U.S. Executive Branch employees, are suing OPM under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, and the All Writs Act. The core claim is that OPM unlawfully created and tested an email distribution and response system without conducting a legally required Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) under the E-Government Act of 2002. Class Action Scope The class includes: - All Executive Branch employees who received test emails from HR@opm.gov (between January 23-27, 2025) instructing them to confirm receipt. - All employees whose personally identifiable information (PII) is stored in the system, even if they did not receive an email. Background & Timeline of Events 1. January 23, 2025: OPM publicly announced it was testing a new system to send mass emails to all civilian federal employees. 2. January 24, 2025: Plaintiffs received an email from HR@opm.gov instructing them to respond with "YES" to confirm receipt. 3. January 26, 2025: A second test email was sent, repeating the instructions. 4. January 27, 2025: - Plaintiff Doe 2 responded "YES." - A whistleblower leaked information in a Reddit post, alleging: - The system was set up secretly by political appointees. - Employee data was being collected and sent to Amanda Scales, an employee of xAI (a company owned by Elon Musk). - An unauthorized email server was physically installed inside OPM’s building, outside of normal IT security protocols. Legal Violations Claimed 1. Failure to Conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) - The E-Government Act of 2002 mandates that any new system collecting personally identifiable information (PII) must undergo a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) before implementation. - OPM failed to complete, review, or publish any PIA for the email system, violating 44 U.S.C. § 3501. 2. Risk to Employees’ PII - The lawsuit argues that OPM’s failure to conduct a PIA exposes federal employees’ data to unauthorized access, similar to the 2014 OPM data breach that compromised millions of government employees’ records. 3. Unlawful Withholding of Information - Under 5 U.S.C. § 706(1), OPM’s failure to disclose and assess the system constitutes "agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed." Relief Sought The plaintiffs request: 1. A court ruling that OPM’s actions violated the E-Government Act. 2. An injunction prohibiting OPM from collecting or storing employee data until a proper PIA is completed. 3. A mandate requiring OPM to publicly release all PIAs for the system. 4. Legal fees and costs awarded to plaintiffs. 5. Expedited processing due to the urgency of the data security risks. Key Takeaways - Potential security risks: If true, the claims suggest unauthorized access and possible external involvement in handling federal employees’ personal data. - Precedent for government IT security: If the plaintiffs succeed, it could force stricter adherence to privacy laws in federal agencies. - Connection to private entities: The lawsuit raises concerns about outsourcing government data to private companies like xAI.

@Vltra_MK - Michael Rae Khoury

The OPM class action lawsuit and Hillary Clinton's private email server controversy share several key similarities and differences, particularly in terms of legal violations, security risks, and government transparency. Key Similarities A. Potential Unauthorized Handling of Government Data Hillary Clinton’s Email Server: – Clinton used a private, unsecured email server for official State Department communications. – This server was outside government control, raising concerns about classified information exposure and potential foreign hacking. OPM Class Action Lawsuit: – The plaintiffs allege that an unauthorized email system was secretly installed within OPM’s network. –This system collected and stored Executive Branch employee data, potentially forwarding it to a private company (xAI, linked to Elon Musk). B. Failure to Follow Government Protocols Clinton’s Case: – Government officials are required to use .gov email accounts for official business. – Clinton’s private email use bypassed federal record-keeping laws and security checks. OPM Case: OPM allegedly failed to conduct a required Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) under the E-Government Act of 2002. The lawsuit claims an unknown email server was set up outside standard IT security measures. C. Risk of Foreign Espionage & Cybersecurity Threats Clinton’s Server: – The FBI found that foreign adversaries may have hacked Clinton’s private server, exposing classified information. – The controversy revolved around mishandling of classified documents, though the FBI concluded no direct evidence of hacking. OPM's Secret Email System: The lawsuit argues that OPM's unknown email system lacks encryption and security protocols. If foreign intelligence services became aware of this server, they could attempt to infiltrate it, much like they did in the 2014 OPM data breach, which compromised millions of government employees' sensitive information. *The Key Difference* is one is totally private... The other is through the official .gov and .mil domains. 3. How the OPM Case Could Set a Precedent If the lawsuit succeeds, it could set legal precedent reinforcing that:Government agencies must follow strict privacy laws before implementing new systems. Unauthorized IT systems handling government data are a major security risk. Outsourcing federal data to private companies (xAI) could be a conflict of interest or a national security risk. Transparency requirements in government communications and cybersecurity must be enforced more strictly. The Clinton email case resulted in:No criminal charges, but FBI scrutiny over handling classified material. Political fallout and reforms in email security policies for future government officials. The OPM case could: Expose deeper structural issues in government IT security policies. Lead to stricter enforcement of Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs). Reveal if Executive Branch employee data was improperly shared with private entities. 4. Bottom Line While Clinton’s email controversy focused on government transparency and the mishandling of classified information, the OPM class action lawsuit centers on federal employee data privacy, cybersecurity risks, and possible external influence in government IT infrastructure. The major concern in both cases is that sensitive government information was handled outside official, regulated channels, increasing vulnerability to hacking, espionage, and unauthorized access.

I shared that Elon Musk revealed the federal government can only process 10,000 retirements a month due to manual paperwork handled at Iron Mountain, an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. The mine, a vast data center with a geothermal cooling system, limits the retirement processing speed based on how quickly the mine shaft elevator operates. Despite spending $106 million to digitize the process, a 2021 report noted that the government reverted to the outdated methods established in 1977.

@CollinRugg - Collin Rugg

NEW: Elon Musk says the maximum amount of people who can retire from the federal government in a month is 10,000 because the paperwork is done manually at an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. The mine in question is Iron Mountain. "The speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government." Iron Mountain is a 330,000-square-foot data center more than 200 feet deep. It uses a 35-acre underground reservoir to create a geothermal cooling system. A report from 2021 reveals how the government tried (and failed) to digitize the process for decades. $106 million later, and failing to do so, the government decided to keep the old process. "$106 million later, the OPM facility resumed functioning with the processes established back in 1977," STWserve dot com reported.

Speaker 0: It supports many of our high security customers, such as banks, financial institutions, health care organizations, and the federal government. If you are a high compliance or high security need organization, this is the place to be. The Western Pennsylvania facility is a city underground. It has many of the same things that a city would have. It has fire and rescue teams and a store. It has enough fuel storage to last seventy two hours without having to refuel. As we go further and further into the labyrinth, which is the facility, we reach the data center portion. There are more than six different challenge points before we hit the data center. These challenge points and these extra gates help with security and compliance. The 30 foot thick limestone and 200 feet of stone above the facility lead to natural weather protection and the ambient temperature of 53 helps the facility remain cool. Iron Mountain works with our customers to design the space of their needs. Whether it's what you can see over my shoulder, cage material, or solid steel wall, Faraday enclosures, or coupes, Iron Mountain is there to support those customers. For each of the power feeds that are overhead powered with Starline bus, behind it are UPS's, separate EPS's, separate generators, and then separate power feeds coming from our grid. All of this designed to be able to support complete redundancy within the system. With a rich ecosystem of different network and cloud providers, Iron Mountain has a network solution that will fit your needs. Iron Mountain is committed to sustainability. You can see that most when we talk about power. This facility and all of our data center facilities are powered by a % green energy. Whether that's through the solar deployments that we've put on our facilities, including Jersey, whether that's through the wind turbines that we've sponsored in Western Pennsylvania, a % of that power is coming from green sources. Additionally, this facility is very unique. All of the cooling goes back to an underground lake. We pump and transfer the heat from the crawl units that you see beside me back to the lake and then pump that heat into the water. That lake can sustain 10 megawatts of heat coming from these facilities as it stands today.

@DOGE - Department of Government Efficiency

Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.

In March 1998, reports emerged about federal bureaucrats creatively swapping job titles to avoid layoffs from President Clinton's plan to cut 50% of supervisors. Many rebranded themselves as "team leaders" or "management support specialists," often securing pay raises in the process. Even supportive press outlets criticized this maneuvering. Today, I see a similar pattern, with legacy media launching a campaign against President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE for attempting to reduce bureaucratic excess.

All we get in return are empty promises that endless wars in distant lands somehow make us safer.

I’ve been exploring the significant changes at the General Medical Council (GMC) under Charlie Massey’s leadership since 2016. The GMC, meant to ensure doctors' accountability, has shifted away from impartiality, allowing trans-identifying doctors to obscure past records. Concerns about patient awareness of doctors' sex have been dismissed, and ethical issues have arisen, including investments in companies linked to health problems. The GMC has also adopted a stricter stance on medical debate during Covid, while failing to address conflicts of interest among some doctors.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Something went very wrong with Britain’s medical watchdog. At the heart of it? One career civil servant. Meet Charlie Massey, the man who transformed the General Medical Council beyond recognition. How did he do it? And at what cost? Thread 🧵

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Massey became chief executive and registrar of the GMC in 2016. He is a career civil servant, having previously worked in HM Treasury, the Cabinet Office, Department for Work and Pensions, the Pensions Regulator and the Department of Social Security.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The GMC regulates doctors in the UK, ensuring they are properly trained, competent, and held accountable. It is supposed to be independent, funded by doctors via fees and managed by an ethical head to safeguard patients.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Under Massey’s leadership, however, the council has progressively abandoned impartiality (and worse)...

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Last month, the Telegraph discovered that the council has effectively allowed trans-identifying doctors to scrub their records, thereby preventing patients from seeing past suspensions or warnings if they occurred before a doctor's “transition”.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The GMC claimed internal records remain linked, but admitted such information has been hidden from the public.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Investigative journalist @CharlotteCGill found in February 2024 that at least 77 doctors had changed their gender on official records since 2003—the vast majority without legal documentation (only 2 provided a gender recognition certificate).

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

When Baroness Dianne Hayter raised concerns about the importance of patients knowing their doctor’s sex, the GMC stonewalled her.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

A spokeswoman said that the medical register’s "purpose" is to confirm training, not provide information on sex. The spokeswoman further suggested that patients could request a chaperone when seeing a doctor (despite patients obviously not knowing when they needed one)...

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The GMC admitted it stopped requiring Gender Recognition Certificates in 2010, claiming many trans-identifying doctors found it “too difficult” to obtain.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Note GMC guidance states that doctors must obtain patient consent before examination or treatment. A principle that many would argue becomes non-existent if patients are denied access to basic information about their doctor.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Prior to this, in September 2023, Massey and the council removed all references to “mothers” from maternity guidance, replacing “surrogate mother” with “surrogate parent”. Its menopause policy was likewise rewritten to exclude references to women.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Earlier that year, the GMC decided to stock tampons in men’s toilets, insisting it was necessary to “meet the needs of all colleagues and visitors.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Beyond gender ideology, Massey and the GMC’s decisions have raised ethical concerns that are just as serious—if not more so—than fully embracing gender theory.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

An investigation by the British Medical Journal in March 2023 revealed that the council held nearly £900,000 in investments in companies linked to causing obesity and diabetes, including Nestlé, McDonald’s, Starbucks, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and Unilever.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The sometimes fatal consequences of persistent consumption of fast/ultra processed-foods has been well-documented over the years.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Most recently, a peer-reviewed study published in the British Medical Journal in 2024 found that such foods can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death by 50%, type 2 diabetes by 12%, and all-cause mortality by by a staggering 21%.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

For context, the council has full discretion over what companies they invest in. Its portfolio is managed through the Churches, Charities and Local Authorities Investment Management fund, and the GMC has already vetoed investment in gambling and pornography-linked companies.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Elsewhere, during Covid, the GMC took an increasingly authoritarian stance on medical debate. In 2022, Massey warned doctors that they could face regulatory action for publishing “misleading” information online. The new provision was confirmed in recent 2024 guidance.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

They also referred several doctors who questioned mainstream Covid policy to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service—a statutory committee responsible for conducting hearings where concerns about a doctor's fitness to practice are reviewed.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Among them was Dr. Sarah Myhill, suspended for nine months in 2023 for promoting nutritional/natural treatments for Covid. She promoted vitamin C and iodine...

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The tribunal ruled that her claims lacked a scientific basis and posed a “potential risk” to patients.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Some say the GMC’s lack of action is equally concerning. Last year, when reports surfaced that several TV doctors had received payments from Covid vaccine manufacturers without disclosing them, all while promoting their products to the public, the council was nowhere to be seen.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Code 36 of the GMC’s Good Medicine Practice guide states: "You must be open and honest with patients about any interests you have that may affect (or could be seen to affect) the way you propose, provide or prescribe treatments, or refer patients." These doctors were not "open"

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Under Massey, the GMC has abandoned traditional ethics, favoured ideology, and neglected to hold seemingly captured doctors to account. And he’s been incredibly well compensated for it all along the way...

Speaker 1: What do you want the American people to know? Speaker 0: We have very antiquated systems. They aren't integrated. We're basically handcuffed. One of the reasons I I'm coming out is I'm not afraid of losing a career. I'll I'll fall on the sword if it means I can help the American people and and help everyone else at the IRS who are are doing their jobs. I I wanna set an example for my kids. I if I I get too emotional, it leaves something that they can aspire to. Your kids? My kids. That they can they know my dad did that, and I'm I'm going to bull ahead and and do the right thing. Speaker 1: Do the do the right thing. Speaker 0: Oh, it's a scary thing for for people. You can lose your career over doing the right thing. Speaker 1: David Nelson is blowing the whistle on the IRS. He is a tax examining technician at the IRS out of the Covington, Kentucky office, a position that reviews and corrects tax returns. He is concerned about the inefficiencies plaguing the agency and the use of highly outdated technologies which are not integrated. At a time when there are discussions to reform and revamp the IRS, we met David at his home alongside his family and he took the extraordinary step of going public, going on the record, and blowing the whistle on the outdated system called IDRS and what he would do to reform it. What do you want the American people to know? Speaker 0: We have very antiquated software. We use a software called integrated data retrieval system. IDRS. IDRS. Speaker 1: And dates back to when? Speaker 0: Late nineteen sixties. This tells you about IDRS, when it was first implemented, when it was implemented throughout all the service sites. Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty nine. That's when they put the man on the moon. And how do you think this system affects the IRS's efficiency? Speaker 0: A ton. We we can't do anywhere close to what the American people think. The whole US tax system being built on a program that was created in the late nineteen sixties. That's absurd. It's command code driven. Speaker 1: Command code consists of low leveled instructions for operating computers and it is deemed outdated because of the emergence of higher level programming languages that improve productivity and usability. It is similar to MS DOS which is so antiquated that it hasn't been widely utilized in our education system for decades. You can think of like MS DOS, but older. Speaker 0: That that is probably the most relevant thing that people could think of. We could probably reduce the size of the IRS substantially with changes, programs, a centralized inventory system replacing an IDRS. This is your suggestion. In Speaker 1: light of the IRS drafting plans to cut its workforce by as much as half through a mix of layoffs, attrition, and incentivized buyouts, David has solutions on how to reform the IRS. Speaker 0: This is something I made kinda as a hobby on weekends. Speaker 1: You basically created a solution to reform the IRS as a hobby. Speaker 0: For my my small unit. Other I'm Speaker 1: a huge You're you're a patriot as far as I'm concerned. The IDRS system is a system which enables IRS employees to have instantaneous visual access to certain taxpayer accounts. The problem is the system is so antiquated, it takes an unusually long time to get basic tasks accomplished. Mailing a letter to a taxpayer, copying and pasting addresses and transferring information from one to the other, David says this is all hurting the American people through extreme inefficiencies. And he walked us through the Kafkaesque process IRS employees have to deal with. Speaker 0: Six one one two letter. To complete the letter, we have to copy from IDRS the taxpayer's name and address into that letter, manually copy it into there, and then we save that to a case file. It also fills in information from mail out dates where we have the date the letter is sent out. We have a purge due date that gets copied and printed into the the letter. We have to basically just copy and paste. Speaker 1: So this is IDRS right here? Speaker 0: This is IDRS. This is a disclosure tool we use during calls. We put the reason of contact. We enter the taxpayer information, and then there's a drop down and it'll pull up the business information. We ask questions to verify who the taxpayer is. We could do a lot to improve things for the American taxpayer. This tells you about IDRS when it was first implemented, when it was implemented throughout all the service sites, and then all the service sites in 1973. And then congress has been notified of this. They it's been reported to them for years. And there's some money that was provided as part in the Biden administration under the, inflation reduction act to improve things, but it was more of a Band Aid instead of an actual fix. It it kept IDRS, but it funded small programs to make things a little more efficient in other areas, but it it didn't fix the actual problem. Speaker 1: Everyone knows about it. Speaker 0: Everyone at the IRS. And we I'm speaking about it, but in general, we're we're told not to. I can automate a lot of the things that I have to manually do, and I can put it on a second screen that I don't have to look at. It can fill in the information, and then I can do a quick review to make certain everything's accurate. Then click the next button, fill up it'll fill out the next PDF. And then once it's done, I can do a quick check, and I could be more efficient if I I had permission to to use it. It's not even that it would have taxpayer information. It's for anything. To get approved as a a tool, there's a ton of people it has to go through for approval. This is Speaker 1: a fifty year old system, and it needs to be updated. Yeah. Political solutions are slow to come. Speaker 0: What is incredibly frustrating to me, congress has been notified of this. It's been reported to them for years, and there's some money that was provided as part in the Biden administration under the, it was the inflation reduction act to improve things, but it was more of a band aid instead of an actual fix. It it kept IDRS, but it funded small programs to make things a little more efficient in other areas, but it it didn't fix the actual problem. Speaker 1: You encountered any issues when trying to report system errors or deficiencies? Speaker 0: I'm speaking about it, but in general, we're we're told not to. Told not to. What do you mean? It it's instruction from treasury. Speaker 1: David describes his motivation on why he's doing this. Speaker 0: One of the reasons I I'm coming out is I'm not afraid of losing a career. I'll I'll fall on the sword if it means I can help the American people and and help everyone else at the IRS who are are doing their jobs. I I wanna set an example for my kids. I if I I get too emotional, it leaves something that they can aspire to. Your kids? My kids. That they can they know my dad did that, and I'm I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I'm gonna do the right thing. I'm going to do what I can to to ensure that other people aren't harmed, to to protect others, to protect family, to protect strangers. Just do the right thing. Speaker 1: And do the right thing. Speaker 0: Oh, it's a scary thing for for people. You can lose your career over doing the right thing. I'm I'm going to bull ahead and and do the right thing. Speaker 1: David's commitment to doing what's right goes beyond his professional life. It's deeply personal. His desire to set an example for his children and leave behind a legacy that represents honesty, integrity, and the importance of fighting for change is what seems to drive him. In his own words, he wants to make a difference, not just in his workplace, but in the world. But what do you think about your father? He says he wants to set an example for all of you. He's better than other fathers. Better than other fathers. I think I agree with that. He's an example of what a father should be. David's words may sound like whistleblowing to some, but for him, he says it's simply sharing the truth about the inefficiencies. You think that you're whistleblowing? Speaker 0: For this, a little, I'm not sharing anything that is that is unknown. The the problem is that everyone knows this but the American people. Speaker 1: What made you this way? You're a very unique individual. Most people don't most people don't work for the IRS and blow the whistle, so to speak, on the inefficiencies. And was it your upbringing? Is it God? Is it circumstance? What do you think made you the way that Speaker 0: you are? Helping others. I'm a civil servant. My job is to ensure a fair and just tax system for the American people. I love helping others. David showed us his home office and describes his disability that he's faced with. This is my office area. I I I built and did all this myself. I have all this an insulation on the walls to try to keep it warmer because I I'm very temperature sensitive. I'm I'm limited with my my disability. I I can only handle so many certain positions. I have a lot of limitations, and I it's made me feel more free in in taking actions and doing things because I I don't I I maybe have a few more years, I think, at at best. Speaker 1: One thing that struck me in the household was the children's admiration. It was palpable. They looked up to him, and they helped him with his disability. They seemed to be willing to have his back. There wasn't any sign of fear in their home despite the enormity of what their father had chosen to do. When they were standing around they held on to him and they looked after him. In all of my journey I had never seen such a loving household as this man.

IRS modernization is 30 years behind schedule, $15 billion over budget, and is relying on outdated technology. We are working hard to make it more efficient. https://t.co/DVszLIIrAU

Video Transcript AI Summary
Sam Korkos, a special advisor within the US Treasury, and Secretary Scott Bessent discuss modernizing the IRS. Korkos, also CEO of a software company, was brought in to review the IRS's modernization program, which is 30 years behind schedule and $15 billion over budget. The goal is to migrate the IRS's legacy infrastructure, similar to old banking systems, to a modern system. Bessent says entrenched interests are constricting the system, costing taxpayers. Korkos notes the IRS processes data equivalent to a mid-sized bank but with far more IT staff and a larger budget, with 80% going to contractors and licenses. Bessent wants to improve collections, privacy, and customer service. Korkos says he's cutting wasteful projects and has stopped $1.5 billion in spending. He says career staff have been cooperative. Bessent says the goal is government efficiency, not elimination, and wants the IRS to work better, cheaper, faster, and with more privacy. Korkos is committed to the project for six months.

Speaker 0: Tonight, we sit down exclusively with one of the men responsible for turning Elon Musk's Doge plans into reality. Joining me now is Sam Korkos, who's a special adviser within the US treasury department. He's also CEO and cofounder of Levels, which is a really cool health and wellness software company. Also joining me, he's getting second billing tonight. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent. We'll get back to you, mister secretary, in a moment. But, Sam, let's start with you. Like, no one knows much about all of you guys who are working together, and I know you you you you work at treasury now. Tell us what brought you here into Washington and what your top priority is. Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been brought in to look at the IRS's modernization program in particular as well as the operations and maintenance budget. I I really care a lot about this country, and this is a huge program that's currently thirty years behind schedule, and it's already $15,000,000,000 over budget. Speaker 0: Wait. Wait. Wait a second. Wait a second. Explain to our viewers what the program is in layman's terms. Speaker 1: Yeah. So the goal is to take the IRS has some pretty legacy infrastructure. It's actually very similar to what banks have been using. It's old mainframes running COBOL and assembly. And the challenge has been how do we migrate that to a modern system. Virtually, every bank has already done this, but we're still using a lot of those same systems. And typically, in industry, this takes a few years, maybe a few hundred million dollars, and we're we're now thirty five years into this program. We've actually been if you ask them now, it's five years away, and it's been five years away since 1990. Supposed to be delivered in 1996, and it's still five years away. Speaker 0: In your area of expertise that informs your ability to do this review is what? Speaker 1: I'm a software developer by background, and I'm a CEO of a software technology company. Speaker 0: So when you came into the department, the first thing you do is just get into the guts of the system and see how it operates? Speaker 1: Yeah. Really talk to the software developers. Talk to the people on the ground and what they're seeing. I think one encouraging thing is we actually have quite a lot of software talent on the ground, the people writing code. We actually have quite a lot of good people. Is almost always the case when I ask them what the correct answer is. How do we solve these problems? They're almost always right, which is good. They just haven't been in a position to be empowered to make those decisions. So I'm actually pretty optimistic that we can solve this. Speaker 0: Secretary Bessen, why has this taken so long? I mean, Sam seems, you know, obviously very, very successful, extremely intelligent. But I assume we have other Sams in The United States. We could have had a Sam fifteen years ago come in and fix this. What is going on? Speaker 2: Well, Laura, you've you've been in DC a long time. I've been here eight weeks, but one of the things, one of the biggest surprises for me is just seeing how these entrenched interest, they just keep constricting themselves around the power, around the money, around the systems, and nobody cares. I mean, the you know, I I said to Sam today, said, the the IRS system was the, supposed to be delivered in 1996. And he said, no. But it was started in 1990. So that's how far behind they are, and nobody cares. And the the other thing we're seeing too is, as Sam said, some of the employees, many of the employees are fantastic. It's this consultant group who has just they're like a bow constrictor. They're like a python. They've got themselves Speaker 0: No pun intended. Yeah. Python language. All your coders have them. Speaker 2: It it was intended. So Yeah. Okay. Speaker 0: Okay. Party pants. Thanks. Speaker 2: But they've constricted themselves around our government, and, you know, the the the cost are unbelievable that are being passed on to the American taxpayer. Speaker 0: Okay. So, Sam, again, you come in from this this tech company. You've been in directing engineering teams. You've been doing your own coding and software engineering for so many years. But you come in here and you see this is one of the most important departments in in the world, not just in our government, in the world. And you see how this has been organized and and run for so many years. What as as a human being, forget as a what is your reaction to that? Speaker 2: It's a Speaker 0: Were you stunned as I am just hearing about this? Speaker 1: Yeah. It's it's hard to really grasp the scale of this because we we process at the IRS about the same amount of data as a mid sized bank. And a typical mid sized bank will have somewhere between one and two hundred people in IT, and they'll have an operations and maintenance budget in, like, the $20,000,000 a year range. We have 8,000 people in IT and our operations and maintenance budget is 3 and a half billion dollars a year. I don't really know why yet, but I will tell you that 80% of that budget goes to contractors and licenses. Speaker 0: So contractors and putting them out putting these projects out to bid, mister secretary, how big a problem has that been? Speaker 2: Well, clearly, it's a problem, and that's why when you you and I were talking the other night, that's why I wanted to bring Sam in because I just gotten a briefing from him, and my jaw hit the ground when he was talking about the cost, the the timeline. As you know, we've talked about it before. I have three priorities with the IRS, collections, privacy, customer service, and none of those are being well served. Look look at the scale of this. Speaker 0: And, Sam, for Americans watching this tonight who've heard all these stories about the people brought in to dismantle the government and rip it apart and destroy people's lives. You didn't have to do this. You have a lot of priorities in the business world. But again, like Musk and like people even younger than you who came in, they got the world on a string. So what do you say to those people who are hearing all these frightening stories about what you and the doge bros as they're called, are doing? Speaker 1: Yeah. This is definitely not on my bingo card for this year. I was very much planning to continue to focus on my company. We have a 15 old boy. It's been really fun, but we're I I got a lot of friends of mine in administration telling me how serious the situation is, and so I'm taking some time to really focus on this. I think it is it is a a huge part of our government is collecting taxes. We we cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying a toll to all these contractors. We really have to figure out how to get out of this hole. We're in a really deep hole right now. Speaker 0: IRS employees according to CNN claim that you you were basically ignorant about how the agency works. Like I said, you were supposed to know everything before you got there, but that's what they're saying, your response to that. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of stuff that I don't know that I'm learning now. I think I know a lot about software systems. That's why I was brought in. So that's the main focus is how do we how do we turn this around? We have we have a 3 and a half billion dollar operations and maintenance budget. We have a $3,700,000,000 modernization effort within IT. That's a lot of budget, and we are way beyond any reasonable cost for what you would expect at a private company for this. Speaker 0: What has been the biggest surprise? You, again, secretary Bessence, you know, been in the business world as well, he heard it from me. But when you first saw this, what was the biggest surprise that you found at that Department of Treasury? Speaker 1: I would say it's the disconnect between leadership and the people actually doing the work is a big one. I would say that there are it doesn't take a lot, just somebody who cares to solve these problems. You find contracts that are $10.20, $3,050,000,000 dollars, and you just ask, like, why are we doing this? And then was just like, I don't know. And then you cancel it, and then nothing happens. It's just inertia has just taken over. Speaker 0: What what I mean? Okay. Okay. I'm I'm so frustrated to hearing this, but I'm so you're getting your hands dirty by getting it getting in there. Mister secretary, Sam comes from the outside world. He he's very keen. I'm reading his bio and what he's done on time management. That's how he's been so successful managing fifteen minute increments of his time, analyzing it. So he's data driven. This should be a data driven agency. You're a money guy. You've made billions of dollars in the business world because you're data driven. So why is this controversial to make the IRS data driven? Speaker 2: Well, because it's like I I told Elon. I said, you know, Elon, you're you're under fire because you've moved people's cheese. And he said, well, it's the American people's cheese. And Yeah. The it doesn't belong to these people. And, again, that's why I wanted the American people to meet Sam. We're gonna bring some more Doge people forward to actually hear their stories, see what's being done because the consult the the entrenched interest, the consultants, the Democrats, mainstream media, they just wanna blow this project out of the water. And it's important because, I keep saying, this is the office of government efficiency, not elimination, not extinction. Sam and his crew are making it more efficient to work for the American people. So what's wrong with it working better, cheaper, faster, and with more privacy? Speaker 0: The president essentially said he wants efficiency across the federal government. He brought in Elon to do that. You're a big part of this. Is it possible given what you've seen as far as the resistance both in the courts and in among mostly Democrats? Speaker 1: Honestly, I haven't really had much of an issue. The career staff has been super cooperative. I think we've so far stopped work and cut about 1 and a half billion from the modernization budget, mostly projects that we're going to continue to put us down this death spiral of complexity in our code base. I think most people that I've interacted with are really excited that somebody actually cares now. They've been in a situation where their hands are tied and they can't solve the things that they know need to be solved. My experience has honestly been very positive working with them. Speaker 0: Is it I mean, this is back to the messaging point. And and again, going back to his his history in business, communication is key from staff to to leadership leadership to staff. And also here, the consumers, the American people, the taxpayer, those are the ultimate consumers here. It's very important that you had this idea to bring Sam in, but people need to understand what this is. Speaker 2: Yeah. But look, it's that it's all hands on deck because we got this massive the government debt. We're gonna pay that down, but we're also gonna make government work better. You know, again, if you were to ask Sam about the customer support, it's unbelievable. The the system, the customer support, they have exact the same number of people working on Christmas Eve as they do on April 14 at the IRS. Why? Speaker 0: So efficiency across the board must be implemented. It's unfair to the taxpayer who foots the bill for all of us. Unfair. Speaker 2: Well, I I don't A rip off. Yeah. And look. We want people to like the government. We want Speaker 0: the government No one's gonna like the IRS. Sorry. Well, Speaker 2: we we we want people to feel satisfied Yeah. That they are getting the service they deserve, that they're paying their fair share and not more, not less. Yeah. And that it's done, you know, quickly, smartly, and privately. Speaker 0: Sam, how long are you gonna stay stay Speaker 1: in Washington? Committed to six months. Speaker 0: Okay. Alright. Sam and mister secretary, thank you both for joining us. Really appreciate it. Speaker 2: Good to see you. Speaker 0: Sam, keep working.

I’m noticing significant changes ahead for government employees, as there’s a cave in Pennsylvania filled with over 400 million pieces of retirement information. DOGE plans to digitize all this paperwork within months, streamlining the retirement process. Currently, only 8,000 employees can retire each month due to outdated practices, but with this new system, retirements could be processed in just a few days. It seems like a major shift is on the horizon.

@MJTruthUltra - MJTruthUltra

Whoa Nelly… 👀 This tells me they are preparing for a lot of people in Government to go go bye bye. There is literally a Cave in Pennsylvania Filled with Government Employee Retirement Information, with over 400 Million Pieces of Paper • DOGE aims to digitize every single piece of paper within months, get this…. TO MAKE IT EASIER TO RETIRE PEOPLE. 🤣🤣 • The current retirement process only allows for 8,000 employees to retire a month, and takes many months to retire because of old 1950’s paper practices still in plane. —— Now it will only take a few days. https://rumble.com/v6rax06-doge-will-digitize-the-mine-of-government-retiree-information.html

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker was asked to help fix retirement in the government and discovered that all paper documents for the retirement process are housed in a mine in Pennsylvania. This mine contains 22,000 filing cabinets stacked 10 high, holding 400 million pieces of paper. The retirement process, largely unchanged since the 1950s, involves physical paperwork and can take many months. Currently, the government can only process about 8,000 retirements a month, with processing times taking six to nine months, and calculations are often incorrect. The goal is to digitize the process, creating an online system that takes only a few days. The speaker believes civil servants are subjected to outdated processes and aims to provide a modern, user-friendly experience. The overhaul is expected to be completed in the next couple of months.

Speaker 0: Probably back in February, and they told me something about a a mine was dealt with retirement. And they said that he needs somebody to help out to fix retirement in the government. I I love the challenge, I jumped on board. And it turns out there is actually a mine in Pennsylvania that houses every paper document for the retirement process in the government. Now picture this. This this giant cave has 22,000 filing cabinets stacked 10 high to house 400,000,000 pieces of paper. It's a process that started in the nineteen fifties and largely hasn't changed in the last seventy years. And so as he dug into it, we found, retirement cases that had so much paper, they had to fit it on a shipping pallet. So, the process takes many months and we're gonna make it just many days. Speaker 1: Will it be digitized or how Speaker 0: Absolutely. Speaker 2: So this Speaker 0: will be an online digital process that will take just a few days at most. And I really think, you know, it's an injustice to civil servants who are subjected to these processes that are older than the age of half the people watching your show tonight. So we really believe that the government can have an Apple Store like experience, Beautifully designed, great user experience, modern systems. Speaker 1: Because right now, it's by hand. Speaker 2: Yes. But the the retirement process is all by paper, literally with people carrying paper and manila envelopes in into this gigantic mine. Speaker 1: So they can't retire more than a certain number every month? Yes. Speaker 2: About about 8,000 a month. That that that's how we the reason we discovered it was we were saying, like, well, let's encourage voluntary retire retirement. That's the world. The most you could be that could they could do is 8,000 a month. And and even I don't know what circumstances it can take six to nine months just to just to have your time and paperwork processed, and they often get the calculations wrong. So, like, well, why would it take so long to retire? And they're like, well, because of the mine. And they're like, what do you mean a mine? What's a mine got to do with retiring? And that's where we discovered that all the retirement stuff is done by still done by paper in a process that looks identical to what occurred in the nineteen fifties. Like, we took a snapshot of the mine when it first started in the fifties to today. It looks the same. Speaker 1: It's amazing. So how long do you think it'll take take to turn over? Speaker 0: We're working as fast as we can. Probably next couple of months, we'll have this this overhauled. And, you know, I really think, again, like, why are we subjecting our federal workers to processes that they they actually have to go through a training just to retire from the government? There's a whole training program that people have to go through in order to retire. I I think we can do better for them. Speaker 1: Aram Mogonassi, a Doge engineer.

I shared some shocking findings from our DOGE team’s investigations. We uncovered misuse of funds, like a $4B COVID relief fund used for lavish parties and loans given to deceased individuals. We also found that taxpayer money supports questionable projects, such as alpaca farming in Peru, while only a fraction reaches the intended recipients. Additionally, federal retirement processes are absurdly inefficient, taking six months to complete. Our team, including members who sacrificed their education for this mission, is dedicated to rooting out fraud and waste in government spending.

@RedWave_Press - RedWave Press

A DOGE member reveals the Department of Education had a $4B C*VID fund, and people were taking that money and using it to rent out Caesars Palace and stadiums for parties. “And so the one change that DOGE made… was we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must first upload a receipt.” “And upon [enacting this policy], nobody drew down any money anymore.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
The Treasury pays out $5 trillion per year, and previously, payments lacked budget codes, obscuring their purpose. A $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, leading to funds being used to rent Caesars Palace and stadiums for parties. When a receipt upload requirement was implemented, fund drawdowns ceased, even though the receipts were not verified. Fraud often starts small and hidden, but escalates over time if unchecked, eventually becoming brazen, such as renting out stadiums.

Speaker 0: So actually, lot of great work at the treasury this week. One of the crazy things at with regards to the treasury is that when a payment is made and the computers of the treasury actually pay about $5,000,000,000,000 per year like crazy amounts, there was formerly not a budget code on there. So if some payment was made you didn't know actually what it was for. It could have been for anything. Yeah. There was a a $4,000,000,000 COVID fund in the Department of Education and there was no receipts required so people could just draw down on it. And when people looked into it, this wasn't just before us. They found that money was being used to rent out Caesars Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, etcetera. And so the one change that Doge made with Pharm Education is we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt and upon doing so, nobody drew down any money anymore. Speaker 1: Yes. But we we didn't say that we'd check the receipt. You could send a fake receipt. You could send a picture of your dog. Anything. Anything. Anything. And and they but as soon as we asked for anything at all, they were suddenly the requests were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting. They were renting Caesar's Palace? Yes. They were like basically partying on the tax share of money. Stadiums? Yes. Leasing stadiums. Leasing stadiums. For what? For parties, basically. Speaker 0: For parties? Speaker 1: Yes. That's a big party. It's a big party. You'd think if you were stealing, you'd start small. They do start small. But then over what happens is over the years so generally, the fraud starts out small and they try to hide it. But then year after year, if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen. And and every year it gets bigger until they're literally renting out stadiums. I like in I think a million dollars to rent out a stadium? Fraud infra infragrante delecto. Okay? We're talking at scale.

Our tax dollars went to a former Taliban member and private jet flights for employees at the “Institute of Peace.”

@RedWave_Press - RedWave Press

DOGE super geniuses discovered the “Institute of Peace” had a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban “for generic services,” and the head accountant attempted to delete the evidence before DOGE arrived at their headquarters. “Just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years.” “The DOGE team was unfortunately able to recover that data with the help of a few great people at the Institute of Peace.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers investigated the Institute of Peace and found it to be the least peaceful agency they'd worked with. The agency spent money on private jets and had a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban for generic services with no clear description. Since the country's founding, the number of agencies has increased 100x. The team found weapons in the Institute's armory and evidence of payments to the Taliban. Shortly after the investigation began, the chief accountant deleted over a terabyte of accounting records, which the team recovered. The Institute received $55 million a year from Congress, and unspent money was swept into a private bank account without congressional oversight, which funded events and private jets. The speakers allege the agencies are hiding money and sending it to the Taliban, and that the Institute of Peace was attempting a cover-up by deleting financial information. The evidence in the accounting example was referred to the FBI and DOJ.

Speaker 0: Yeah. And so it was the by far the least peaceful agency that we've worked with Yeah. Ironically. Speaker 1: Of Speaker 0: course. Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things like private jets, and they even had a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban. Get out of is real. We don't encounter that in most agencies. Speaker 2: Yeah. What was the money going to the Taliban for? Speaker 0: So it was a contractor. They received a hundred and $30,000 for generic services. And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear description of what the contractor services were for. But was it for opium? Speaker 2: Unclear. Or weapons? Or nothing. Or nothing. Or abroad. Or yeah, nothing. Speaker 0: And you naturally have to ask the question, how did we get here? Like, when the country was founded, there were only four agencies. Today, there are over 400. So there's been a 100 x increase in the number of agencies since the founding of the nation. And thanks to president Trump, he's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce the number of agencies in the government, and the institute of Peace was one of them, which is why our team went in to try and understand what was going on. And that's when we found all of the craziness, like the weapons in their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban. Speaker 2: Okay. The the the council too. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. So just try to hide the evidence. Speaker 0: Right. So just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years. So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that? And the Doge team fortunately was able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most troubling thing was they received $55,000,000 a year from congress, and any money that went unspent instead of returning that to congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account, which had no congressional oversight. And that's what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think it's a great example because most most Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of these smaller agencies, and this is, I think, the most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that we're finding. Speaker 2: So the agencies are hiding money from you. They're sending it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department buildings. Speaker 0: At the Institute of Peace. Speaker 2: At the Institute of Peace. Yeah. Speaker 0: That's Speaker 2: right. So this is a cover up when you guys roll in? Speaker 1: This one, yes, a cover up. Yes. It's a cover ring. No. They did delete a vast amount of financial information. That's really a definition of a cover up. Speaker 2: Isn't that illegal to delete evidence? Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 2: Shred documents? It is. It's it's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that they that congress would certainly want to know where where the congressionally appropriate funds are going from from taxpayers. When you catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you refer this to the Department of Justice? Speaker 0: In this case, we did refer the evidence in the accounting example to the FBI and DOJ. We were proud to do that. So, yes, we did. Speaker 2: Resistance has Speaker 0: shown

Video Transcript AI Summary
Doge was invited to Elon Musk's weekly Doge meeting at the Eisenhower Building. The Treasury was found to make $5 trillion in payments annually without budget codes, and a $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, leading to funds being used for parties at Caesar's Palace and stadium rentals. The Small Business Administration gave $330 million in loans to dead people and $660 million to babies. The Inter American Foundation (IAF) spends only 58% of its congressional money on grantees, such as alpaca farmers in Peru, with the rest going to management and travel. Only 10-15 cents of each dollar reaches the intended recipient due to layers of stealing. The United States Institute of Peace was found to have loaded guns and a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban for generic services. The chief accountant deleted over a terabyte of accounting records, and unspent funds were swept into a private bank account. The government uses paper retirement case folders that are compiled by hand and moved around on carts through a mine. The postal service is breaking the law by operating with a deficit since 2007, losing $9.5 billion last year. Protests have occurred, and death threats have been made against Doge team members. Government employees are helping reduce waste and fraud.

Speaker 0: Those have looked into Doge. Elon Musk was nice enough to invite us into the Eisenhower Building last night to sit in on his weekly 10PM Doge meeting. Yeah, they usually meet at 10:00. I'm almost in bed by then. We met the whole crew, even big balls, and they showed us how Doge really gets done. We sat back, listened, and we learned a lot, and we hope you do too. Here's part one of our exclusive interview. Elon, thank you so much for bringing us to the meeting here. I'm gonna do something no anchor ever does. I'm not gonna Speaker 1: talk. What? Speaker 0: As Speaker 1: long as I'm gonna You're talking right now. Speaker 0: I'm gonna let you run your and then I'll interrupt when I'm bored. Speaker 1: So take it away. So like a board meeting. Like a board Speaker 2: meeting. Exactly. Speaker 1: All right. Well, I guess we normally go around the table, say what what do we get done this week? Oh, this way? Sure. No. We start with you. Sure. Speaker 3: So actually, lot of great work at the Treasury this week. One of the crazy things at with regards to the treasury is that when a payment is made and the computers at the treasury actually pay about $5,000,000,000,000 per year, like crazy amounts, There was formerly not a budget code on there. So if some of the payment was made, you didn't know actually what it was for. It could have been for anything. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 3: There was a $4,000,000,000 COVID fund in the Department of Education and there was no receipts required. So people would just draw down on it. When people looked into it, this wasn't just before us. They found that money was being used to rent out Caesars Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, etcetera. And so the one change that Doge made with Pharm Education is we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt and upon doing so, drew down any money anymore. Speaker 1: Yes. But we we didn't we didn't say that we'd check the receipt. You could send a fake receipt. You could send a picture of your dog. Anything. Anything. Anything. And and they but as soon as we asked for anything at all, they suddenly the requests were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting. Speaker 0: They were renting Caesar's Palace? Speaker 1: Yes. They were, like, basically partying on the tax share of money. Stadiums? Yes. Leasing stadiums. Leasing stadiums. For what? For parties, basically. Speaker 0: For parties? Yes. That's a big party. Speaker 1: It's a big party. Speaker 0: You'd think if you were stealing, you'd start small. They do Speaker 1: start small. But then over what happens is over the years so generally, the fraud starts out small and they try to hide it. But then year after year, if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen. And and every year it gets bigger until they're literally renting out stadiums. I like in Speaker 0: I mean, What's the million dollars to rent out a stadium? Speaker 1: Fraud infra infragrante delecto. Okay? We're talking at scale. Speaker 0: This is driving me crazy. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Speaker 0: When you find these things, do you guys get mad? You're like, yes. I got one. How does it how does it make you feel? Speaker 4: It's so common. Speaker 1: Common. You know, like, he's doing it. I mean, you just get numb to it. Like, unfortunately, you get like, the the like, the hundredth time you've heard it, you it's hard not to get a little numb. Yeah. You know? But, like and by the two hundredth time, you're like, well, okay. It's just another day at the office. Speaker 5: We checked, is the small business administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of 20? The answer was yes, and it was around 330,000,000 in total. Speaker 1: So people with a birthday that could not possibly be real. Yeah. Meaning, they're they're over a hundred they're 15 years old or older. The oldest living American is 14. So the safe to say if anybody is in the in the system as a hundred and 15 years or older, that is fake. Speaker 6: So just by sharing a database and looking at social security numbers that showed that at the time of the loan, they had listed as over 115 years old or actually 11. We didn't even check for 18. Babies and dead people 11 years old. Speaker 2: That's pretty clear. Speaker 1: Babies and dead people who were getting loans. Speaker 6: That was $660,000,000. Speaker 1: Yeah. And also people with birth dates in the future. What does that mean? Well, in one case, I mean, I think the, like the birth date, the birth date, I think in one case was like Fetuses were getting No, not even. No, really sort of like, you're talking about like your great grandchildren. Like, with the birth date, like, think it was like 02/1965. So more than a century from now was the birth date. Speaker 0: George Jetson was getting paid. Speaker 1: Yes. Because your birthday is in the future. Like the far, like the far future, not like next year. Right. And we either this is either fraudulent or we have your birthday wrong. It's either a typo Speaker 0: or someone stealing. Speaker 1: Which isn't? Yes. Right. Yes. You you should at least ask which isn't. Do you Speaker 0: guys feel you're getting justice and accountability? Speaker 2: One of the, I think extreme examples of non, accountability in some cases is has occurred at some of the small agencies. I think the Inter American Foundation, IAF, is one of the agencies we visited where, you know, they get $50,000,000 a year congressional money to give grants. These are things like, you know, alpaca farming in Peru, improving them Speaker 1: That's not that's a real example. Speaker 2: That's a real description. Improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala. Really? Fruit jam. And what? Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 4: Yeah. So you might Speaker 2: expect, you know, in the private sector, a nonprofit to give, you know, 80 to 90% of their money to grantees. In the case of IAF, that was 58%. So the other half goes towards management, travel. Speaker 1: What what we're trying exactly, Domingue, as an example is is that even if you agreed with up with supporting alpaca farmers in Peru, Well, actually most of the money never made it out of DC. Mhmm. It's going into the pockets of people in in the neighborhood. Speaker 0: What percentage And then get to Peru. Right. So what percentage do you think doesn't even get to the destination it's supposed to? Speaker 1: I believe the GAO estimates, this is not our estimate. I believe it was on the order of only 10 to 15¢ and the dollar actually gets to the end recipient. Whether you agree with that cause or not. Speaker 0: So they're just stealing the money before it even gets anywhere. Speaker 1: There's layers of stealing. So there's like, there's the first layer of stealing, second layer of stealing, third layer of stealing. Subcontractor, subcontractor. Yeah. Exactly. Contractor, subcontractor, subcontractor. It's like peeling an onion. And then maybe and sometimes it's zero. Just flat you you get to the bottom of the onion. There's nothing there. Speaker 0: So maybe no one got a sex change in Guatemala. Speaker 1: It's possible that no one got a sex change in Guatemala. Speaker 4: I overheard a contractor tell one of her colleagues to falsify billable hours by creating a PowerPoint to mask a delay in the onboarding process in front of me. And this is like hour zero at this agency. And so, I mean, this is just a common theme that you take a look at these contracts, you take a look at these grants, and it's veiled in noble rhetoric. You know, it's at the top level. It's like Speaker 1: It sounds good. Speaker 4: Yeah. It sounds amazing. And then you actually just follow what is the what are the funds actually doing? Speaker 1: Or send us a picture. Speaker 4: Exactly. And Speaker 1: The the send us a picture request is incredibly good. Like, Pixar didn't happen. And then, like and then, like and and it wouldn't be that hard to just frankly, they could search for for some fake pics on the Internet or get AI to generate the pics, but they don't even bother doing that. Speaker 0: So you you caught them cold billing fraud? Speaker 4: Oh, I caught them her advising her colleague to do this because it takes a few days to onboard. So that is being investigated right now. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, generally, like, like these programs, these grants are gonna be like along the lines of save the baby pandas. And it's like, well, of course, who wouldn't wanna save the baby pandas? And, you know, in some cases they've got a show panda, which they will try it out for special occasions. In a lot of cases, they don't even have a show panda. No panda. There's not even one panda. Because we asked for pictures and we don't even get one panda. And he's like, well, you gotta well, that's a lot of, you know, what's the what's what does a billion dollars get you? Does not even get you one panda? Speaker 0: You really wanna see a baby panda? Speaker 1: Yeah. That will you know, like the Ebola money. We're like, okay. Well, we agree with like, we shouldn't have Ebola. You know? Where is the money going? Oh, it's going to Deloitte in DC. Like, what what is an accounting firm doing with Ebola money? Speaker 0: What has been the biggest resistance? Is there one agency? Is there one department that when you guys walk in, they all start fighting you, start hiding Speaker 1: I thought you weren't gonna talk. Speaker 0: I'm sorry. Speaker 1: But I guess you could answer that question. Sure. I mean, let's yes, we've certainly had some battles. Battles? Yeah. Yeah. I mean Yeah. Speaker 2: The the Speaker 1: Who who should talk about you, sir? Speaker 2: Oh, Nate. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 7: Yeah. So, Jesse, there's there's Nate. The small agency called the United States Institute of Peace is definitely the agency we had the most fight at. We actually went into the agency and found they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters. Institute for Peace. Speaker 1: I mean, given company any given organizational name is gonna be kinda be the opposite of the title. Right. Yeah. Speaker 7: Yeah. And so it was the by far the least peaceful agency that we've worked with. Yeah. Ironically. Speaker 1: Of Speaker 7: course. Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things like private jets, and they even had a 130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban. This is this is real. We don't encounter that in most agencies. Speaker 0: Yeah. What was the money going to the Taliban for? Speaker 7: So it was a contractor. They received a hundred and $30,000 for generic services. And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear description of what the contractor services were for. Speaker 0: But was it for opium? Speaker 2: Unclear. Or weapons? Or nothing. Or nothing. Or abroad. Speaker 7: Or yeah, nothing. And you naturally have to ask the question, how did we get here? Like, when the country was founded, there were only four agencies. Today, there are over 400. So there's been a 100 x increase in the number of agencies since the founding of the nation. And thanks to president Trump, he's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce the number of agencies in the government, and the institute of peace was one of them, which is why our team went in to try and understand what was going on. And that's when we found all of the craziness, like the weapons in their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban. Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 0: Do you Speaker 1: to counsel too. Oh, yeah. So just try to hide the evidence. Speaker 7: Right. So just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years. So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that? And the Doge team fortunately was able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most troubling thing was they received $55,000,000 a year from congress, and any money that went unspent instead of returning that to congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account, which had no congressional oversight and that's what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think it's a great example because most most Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of these smaller agencies and this is, I think the most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that we're finding. Speaker 0: So the agencies are hiding money from you. They're sending it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department buildings. Speaker 7: At the Institute of Peace. Speaker 0: At the Institute of Peace. Yes. Speaker 7: That's right. Speaker 0: So this is a cover up when you guys roll in? Speaker 1: This one, yes, a cover up. It's a cover up. They did delete a vast amount of financial information. That's really a definition of a cover up. Speaker 0: Isn't that illegal to delete evidence? Yes. Shred documents? Speaker 7: It is. It's it's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that the that congress would certainly want to know where where the congressionally appropriate funds are going from from taxpayers. Speaker 0: When you catch them going Hillary style on their computers, Do you refer this to the Department of Justice? Speaker 7: In this case, did refer the evidence in the accounting example to the FBI and DOJ. We were proud to do that. So, yes, we did. Speaker 8: Resistance has shown up in some very surprising places. So for example, the famous fork in the road email, the deferred resignation program. So this was a program where you could resign from the government, collect pay and benefits for the next eight months. Probably the most attractive separation program ever in human history. And the resistance actually came from the outside with people saying this is a trick, and I've heard somebody refer to it as an apple with a razor blade. And, no, this was just a really juicy apple, caramel dipped apple. It it it was that good, but people were talked out of out of taking it. And now what started to happen is Speaker 7: we did have Speaker 8: about 80,000 people take it, and now those folks who did take it are on the beach or they've moved on to a new job and they're still getting paid. And so now we're starting to offer fork two and fork three where people can see that someone's eaten this apple and it was actually really tasty and good for them. Speaker 0: Is Doge just getting started? Is this is a long term enterprise. Speaker 1: It's a long term enterprise because if if we take our eye off the ball, the waste and fraud will come roaring back. Speaker 0: They can doge doge when democrats get back in power? Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think some of the things that like, we're to have it be such that the funding is is removed, so the grants are gone. So this it that if there's a lot of work required to restart the waste of fraud. And and that that will at least slow it down. Speaker 0: Elon Musk shows primetime the cave, the money faucet, and the stone age phones. Right back. We're back, part two. The exclusive interview with Elon Musk and the Doge Boys. They took us inside the caves of bureaucracy. Watch this. We heard about a cave. We had federal workers working in a cave. Speaker 1: That's me. They still Joe's actually been to the cave. Do do you wanna tell tell us about your your cave your cave your cave is? Speaker 0: I wouldn't Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind you. Spelunking? You're you're spelunking. Speaker 9: So I've been helping out with retirement. Been helping out with retirement and a few weeks ago I had chance to go to the mine. And so I took a golf cart through security down into the side of a mountain and entered daylight left and I entered this whole space of caverns and roads and we get to a metal door and I open it up and there in front of me is is a sea of filing cabinets from the nineteen sixties. And I'm walking around, it's super chilly, smells like paper. And you know, I realized for for as a mind, it's it's a great mind. It's secure, it's well lit, temperature controlled. And so the question we're not ask we're asking is not is this a good place to store physical media, which it is. It's amazing for that. The question is, why are we still using paper in 2025? So I brought something to show you Speaker 8: Yeah. Of what's inside the mind. Speaker 1: And and only the the normal process for retirement is over it'll be over six months. So once you file your retirement papers, that's why it takes six months. Speaker 0: Mhmm. What what is that? Speaker 9: So these are replica case folders that people use to retire from the government. And so these are all compiled by hand and moved around on carts through the mind. It takes many months to do that, and this one is a single retiree's paper required to leave the government. Speaker 1: So if somebody wants to retire, they can't because it takes six months to compile the paper and carry the paper into a mine where it is stored. And and also, all the calculations are done by hand. Everything has to done Speaker 4: by five. Speaker 9: Reconciled, adjudicated, this is thicker than the Word of the Rings trilogy. Speaker 0: Yeah. And Speaker 6: if I had to process this, Speaker 9: I would rather do my taxes in the dark than have to go through Speaker 7: this. Yeah. Speaker 9: And so what we're doing is we're we're bringing this process online with modern software. And I'm excited to share that as of tonight, have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time. Speaker 0: It sounds so simple. Yes. Speaker 9: And and it's great collaboration with retirement services inside OPM. So this has always been their dream, we're just here to help accelerate it. Speaker 0: That's a pretty fat stack. Was that Kissinger's? Speaker 1: Oh, no. This the record is almost I mean, several shopping carts. Speaker 0: For Speaker 9: there's a whole pallet for one retiree with 27 boxes of paper on Speaker 0: it. For one guy. Speaker 1: That's the record. Speaker 9: I've seen it with my own eyes. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's certainly and and and it also frees up people because we we shouldn't have over a thousand people carrying paper into a mine. That that is not a good use of human of people's lives. So there are many other things that they could do that would be far more productive than carrying paper into a mic. Speaker 0: If you were to say, we have iPhones, does the government have payphones? Like, prehistoric is this technology? Speaker 1: Oh, yes. It's it's Speaker 2: it's very prehistoric. Sorry. Speaker 0: It's very prehistoric. Speaker 1: It's like Flintstones. Speaker 0: It's Flintstone level stuff. Speaker 1: It's it's so prehistoric. Like dinosaurs would think this is, you know, kinda old. Okay. That's how prehistoric it is. Okay. So we're I mean, basically, the only thing loving was a sponge when That's how prehistoric it was. Speaker 0: Okay. So we're leaving the stone age, and we're moving into the Golden Age. Speaker 1: The Precambrian era is what we're Speaker 0: talking about. Okay. There was a story I heard about mules. There were mules delivering mail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Speaker 1: Which might not might not be a bad thing, actually. You have the mule picture. Speaker 0: Pics or it doesn't exist. Speaker 1: Right? Yeah. Yeah. But this and this this is a case where actually it might not I think do we agree with the mule or or should should there be rules? Speaker 10: I think it can be modernized. Speaker 1: If there's opportunity for improvement. Yes. Right. Okay. Speaker 10: Right. So, yeah, I'm at the postal service. Speaker 0: I I think a lot Speaker 10: of people don't realize that there's actually a law says that the post office is supposed to, like, have a balanced budget. Speaker 1: There is? Speaker 10: Yeah. There Speaker 1: is. I didn't know that. Yeah. Right. Well, that's not working, is it? No. It's not. So So they're breaking the law? Speaker 10: They're breaking the law. Okay. Basically, since 02/2007, almost every year since 02/2007, they've they've lost money. So you might ask, like, what happened in 02/2007? Speaker 1: So there was there was What happened 02/2007? Speaker 10: Yeah. There was additional regulation Okay. That went into place that essentially crippled them and put them down this, like, not good path where they essentially are stuck in the past as well as bleeding money left and right. Okay. So, like, it's great, and and we appreciate that the postal employees are are willing to go to the hardest parts, like, in this country, but we think that we can we can modernize it and and help them become profitable. Right now, last year, they lost 9 and a half billion dollars. Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah. Serious money. Speaker 0: We finally meet big balls. Up next. Part three. Here's the interview with Elon Musk and the rest of the Doge crew. We finally ask the one question on our mind. Who's Big Balls? It's me. Speaker 1: That should be obvious. Speaker 0: Why do they call you Big Pauls? Speaker 5: I just said it as my LinkedIn username. Okay. Well, people on LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously, and they're pretty adverse to risk. And I was like, well, I wanna be neither of those things. So I just I said it, and, honestly, I didn't even think anyone would notice. Speaker 1: Yeah. When you so cringe. Speaker 0: What does Big Balls do? Speaker 5: Right now, I'm working on some payment computer stuff. So one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste. And to do that, we started looking at the payment computers. And as mentioned earlier, like, there is no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer. So, like, you look at a specific line item, like $20,000,000, and you're like, okay. Well, what is this money going to? And for the majority of payment systems, it's like, well, we don't really know. Speaker 1: And Yeah. They're like, what? That would be the response. Speaker 0: Is this the most basic responses? Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. That's the most common response. Speaker 0: What do you say when people just say, I don't know. Speaker 5: Well, it's a huge cause for concern because, like, the upstream thing, which is distributing the money, literally has no checks and no no accountability to the actual American taxpayer. So it's a huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse. Speaker 0: Do these people not respect taxpayer money? Speaker 5: I mean, there's no incentive to you if you work in the government. I think the incentives will always decide the outcomes. Speaker 0: Yes. Do you guys feel like you're putting yourself at risk by doing this because you're stirring up so much hostility by these people ripping us off? Speaker 1: A %. Well, we don't need to speculate about that. You can see online in in the protests that they make that very clear. I mean, I've been hanged in effigy many times, and there have been people that have actively advocated at these violent protests violent protests for my death and have also advocated for the death of the the people at Doge. Speaker 2: I think the young folks of us have gotten email threats from reporters and the public alike. I think speaking for myself I dropped out of Harvard and came here to serve my country and it's been unfortunate to see you know lost friendships. Most of campus hates me now but I think fundamentally I hope people realize through conversations like this that reform is genuinely needed and if there's one I think it's important to say if there's one group of people who really have a shot of success it's the people here. You know, they're up until 2AM Monday through Sunday. Those should not recognize weekends. We're working all the time. Speaker 0: Inspired you to drop out of Harvard to do this? Speaker 2: You know there's a lot of reform that's needed. I think the value of this and the impact here is so much more vast than anything you could learn in a classroom doing computer science. Speaker 0: And you guys are sleeping here. I'm hearing you guys are up all night. You have this meeting at 10:00 every Wednesday. Speaker 2: We'll probably, go back to work right after this. Yeah. Speaker 0: You're going back to work after this. Speaker 7: Yes. Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 0: It's almost 11:00. So that's early. Speaker 2: That's early. Speaker 0: It's early? Can I go to bed? Speaker 1: That's Speaker 0: an incredible work ethic. You guys should be really, really proud of yourself. Do good people come up to you and say thank you for doing what you're doing? Absolutely. There are Speaker 1: people Speaker 11: in the state department that will stop you or all of the agencies that we've been to that'll stop you in the hallways or write emails and say, was scared to write this or I don't know if you're interested in this, but they usually have great ideas. And if they often have the best ideas because they've worked in the places and they've been stifled by the bureaucracy for so many years. So one of the the great things that at least in my experience that I you know, we listen to them and empower them. Speaker 1: Yes, in Speaker 5: fact, I'd like Speaker 1: to emphasize that because we'd like to just give a big thank you to all the government employees who are helping reduce the waste and fraud because this is, you know, we really couldn't do it without you. So Speaker 0: It's a group effort. Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So it's I'm not trying to sort of say all government employees are bad. That's absolutely not the case. It's just that, you know, there actually just there's need to be a serious effort to reduce the waste waste and forward. And we're just making that happen and a lot of people in the government are very glad to see it Speaker 6: happen. I think it's really important to recognize every single person around this table that's embedded within an agency is supporting that agency whether they're working on systems or working through people. We are encountering droves of government employees who are missionaries not mercenaries who are actually here serving because they believe in what they're doing they want to do things well. We are trying to empower them and they feel empowered now to ask the question of why, why aren't we doing this, what else can we be doing, how can we fix this and I think agency by agency it is filled with exceptional government employees right and we when we give them the tools when we give them the systems and we leave behind systems to help them do their jobs better that's the permanent change right and they're embracing that not because it's new to them it's because it's something they've always wanted to do but for the first time ever we're giving them the tools and the collaboration to be able to do that. Speaker 0: It's a very important message. That message needs to get out a lot more I'm so glad you said that. Speaker 6: We have exceptional people at all of our agencies, exceptional. Speaker 0: I mean they do a thankless job and they work incredibly hard. I love to hear how collaborative it is with these people in these agencies and it's not all conflict. Sometimes in the media you always hear about conflict and you guys are considered these ruthless suits that come in and scare people, but it's Conflict is the exception. Speaker 1: There is conflict, but that is the exception. That's actually true of history in general. You know, there's people study the wars a lot, but actually most of the time there wasn't war. Speaker 0: It's just not as exciting. Speaker 1: It's just not as exciting. Right. Exactly. Speaker 0: Well, for the TV guys, we like conflict, but in this case, we love the collaboration. So thank you guys. Thanks for allowing me this access in here. You guys are just really, really bright, young, smart Patriots. And you have a great team. And thank you, Elon, for everything you've done for the country. We really appreciate it. We're eternally grateful. Speaker 1: You're welcome. Thank you. Speaker 0: Thank you.

Babies and d*ad people are getting hundreds of millions of your tax dollars for their small businesses.

@RedWave_Press - RedWave Press

DOGE uncovered the Small Business Administration gave $330M in loans to “d*ad people” (people over the age of 120). But wait, it gets worse. “Social Security numbers that showed at the time of the loan they had listed as over 115 years old or actually under 11.” Musk: “Babies and dead people getting loans.” Donald P.: “That was $660M.”

The Small Business Administration gave loans to dead people, people over 115 years old, and even people with birthdates in the future. The total amount of loans given to those who were either babies, dead, or not even born yet was $660,000,000. One instance included someone with a birthdate more than a century from now. The question is whether these errors are due to fraud or typos.

Speaker 0: That is the small business administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of 20? The answer was yes, and it was around $330,000,000 in total. Speaker 1: So People with a birthday that could not possibly be real. Yeah. Meaning, they're they're over a hundred they're 15 years old or older. The oldest living American is 14. So the safe to say if anybody is in the in the system as a hundred and 15 years or older, that is fake. Speaker 2: So just by sharing a database and looking at social security numbers that showed that at the time of the loan, they had listed as over a hundred and 15 years old or actually 11. We didn't even check for 18. Speaker 1: Babies and dead Speaker 2: 11 years old. That's pretty clear. Speaker 1: Babies and dead people who were getting loans. Speaker 2: That was $660,000,000. Speaker 1: Yeah. And also people with birth dates in the future. What does that mean? Well, in one I mean, I think the like the birth date, the birth date, I think in '1 case was like Fetuses? We're getting No, not even. No. Really sort of like, you're talking about like your great grandchildren. Like, like, with the birth date, like, I think it was like 02/1965. So more than a century from now was the birth date. George Jetson was getting paid. Yes. Because your birthday is in the future, like the far like the far future, not like next year. Right. And we either this is either fraudulent or we have your birthday wrong. It's either a typo or someone stealing. Which is it? Yes. Right. Yes. You at least ask which is it.

Congrats you are funding alpaca farming in Peru and improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala through jam.

@RedWave_Press - RedWave Press

The young DOGE geniuses discovered the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), which receives $50M a year in Congressional funding to give grants to things like alpaca farming in Peru and improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala through jam. “You might expect in the private sector a non-profit to give 80-90% of their money to grantees. In the case of IAF, that was 58%. So the other half goes toward management, travel.” Musk: “Most of the money never made it out of D.C.” Waters: “So what percentage do you think doesn’t even get to the destination it’s supposed to?” Musk: “Only 10 to 15 cents on the dollar actually gets to the end recipient.”

The Inter American Foundation (IAF) receives $50 million annually from Congress for grants, funding projects like alpaca farming in Peru and improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala. While private sector nonprofits typically allocate 80-90% of funds to grantees, IAF gives 58%, with the remainder covering management and travel. According to the GAO, only 10 to 15 cents of each dollar actually reaches the intended recipient. Much of the money remains in DC, allegedly benefiting individuals in the area rather than reaching Peru.

It takes federal employees 6-months to retire. https://t.co/yl8sJ4dQpc

@RedWave_Press - RedWave Press

SHOCKING: It takes a federal employee 6 months to retire from the government because workers in a mine move papers around in shopping carts, compiling all the necessary paperwork to retire from the government. When the folder is complete, it’s “thicker than The Lord of the Rings trilogy.” Musk: “If someone wants to retire, they can’t because it takes 6 months to compile the paper and carry the paper into a mine where it is stored, and all the calculations are done by hand.” “The record [for the most amount of paper for a federal employee’s retirement]… is several shopping carts.” Joe G.: “There’s a whole pallet for one retiree with 27 boxes of paper on it.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
Replica case folders are used when government employees retire. Compiling these folders is done by hand and takes six months. The process involves moving the folders around on carts through a mine for storage. Calculations are also done by hand. The speaker states that processing these folders is more difficult than doing taxes in the dark. They are bringing this retirement process online with modern software. As of tonight, 25 retirees are going through an entirely online retirement process for the first time. This is a collaboration with retirement services inside OPM. The record for one retiree is a whole pallet with 27 boxes of paper.

Speaker 0: That's why it takes six months. Mhmm. What what is that? So these are replica case folders that people use to retire from the government. And so these are all compiled by hand and moved around on carts through the mind. It takes many months to do that, and this one is a single retiree's paper required to leave the government. So if somebody wants to retire, they can't because it takes six months to compile the paper and carry the paper into a mine where it is stored. And also, all the calculations are done by hand. Everything has to done by Reconciled, adjudicated, this is thicker than the word of the rings trilogy. Yeah. And if I had to process this, I would rather do my taxes in the dark than have to go through this. And so what we're doing is we're we're bringing this process online with modern software. And I'm excited to share that as of tonight, we have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time. It sounds so simple. Yes. And and it it's great collaboration with retirement services inside OPM. So this has always been their dream, we're just here to help accelerate it. That's a pretty fat stack. Was that Kissinger's? Oh, no. This the record is almost I mean, several shopping carts. For there's a whole pallet for one retiree with 27 boxes of paper on it. For one guy. That's the record.

Well, what is this money going to? And for the majority of payment systems, it’s like, ‘Well, we don’t really know.’”

"Big Balls" says that "Big Balls" is their LinkedIn username because people on LinkedIn take themselves too seriously and are adverse to risk, and they wanted to be neither of those things. "Big Balls" is working on payment computer stuff to root out fraud and waste. There is no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer. When looking at a specific line item, like $20,000,000, for the majority of payment systems, they don't know what the money is going to. This is a huge cause for concern because the upstream thing which is distributing the money literally has no checks, and no accountability to the actual American taxpayer, making it a huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse. There is no incentive if you work in the government to respect taxpayer money, and incentives decide the outcomes.

Is this the most basic responses? Yeah. Yeah. That's the most common response. What do you say when people just say, I don't know. Well, it's a huge cause for concern because like, the upstream thing which is distributing the money literally has no checks, and no no accountability to the actual American taxpayer. So it's a huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse. Do these people not respect taxpayer money? I mean, there's no incentive to you if you work in the government.

I recently shared a series of posts revealing shocking government spending abuses uncovered by Elon Musk and the DOGE team. They exposed a $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education that was misused, and the United States Institute of Peace, which ironically had loaded guns and questionable contracts. The Small Business Administration even issued loans to deceased individuals. I also visited a limestone mine where retirement paperwork is still handled on paper. Throughout, we met Big Balls, a key figure in rooting out fraud in federal payments.

🚨 Your tax dollars have been set on fire by the government—and it’s much worse than you think. Jesse Watters just sat down with Elon Musk and the DOGE team to pull back the curtain. What they uncovered will leave you speechless. And yes, you finally get to meet Big Balls. His backstory did not disappoint. 🧵 THREAD

@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊

📍Don't forget to bookmark this thread. You'll want to remember what the bureaucracy spent your money on before DOGE stepped in. Now, onto the clips!

@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊

It kicked off with a bombshell. Elon Musk and his DOGE team had uncovered one of the most outrageous COVID-era scams inside the Department of Education. There was a $4 billion fund sitting there—and no one had to provide a receipt to use it. As one DOGE staffer explained, “There was a four billion-dollar COVID fund in the Department of Education. There was no receipt required so people could just draw down on it.” Naturally, the money went everywhere it shouldn’t have. “When people looked into it—they found that money was being used to rent out Caesars Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera.” To stop the abuse, DOGE made one change. “The one change that DOGE made with the Department of Education, is we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money you must first upload a receipt.” That’s it. Upload a receipt. “That was the only change made—you must upload your receipt—and upon doing so nobody drew down money anymore.” The grift dried up overnight.

Video Transcript AI Summary
A $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, allowing people to draw down money freely. Upon investigation, it was found that the funds were used to rent Caesar's Palace and stadiums for parties. The Department of Education implemented a simple change requiring recipients to upload a receipt before drawing down money. Although the receipts were not checked and could be fake, requests for money stopped entirely. Initially, fraud starts small and is concealed, but if left unchecked, it grows more brazen over time, eventually escalating to renting out stadiums.

Speaker 0: There was a a $4,000,000,000 COVID fund, in the Department of Education, and there was no receipts required. So people could just draw down on it. And when people looked into it, this wasn't just us before us. They found that money was being used to rent out Caesar's Palace parties, rent out stadiums, etcetera. And so the one change that Doge made with part of education is we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was the only change that was made, you must upload your receipt And upon doing so Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 0: Nobody drew down any money anymore. Speaker 1: Yes. But we we didn't say that we'd check the receipt. You could send a fake You could send a picture of your dog. Anything. Anything. Anything. And and they but as soon as we asked for anything at all, suddenly the requests were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting. They were renting Caesar's Palace. Yes. They were, like, basically partying on the tax share of money. Stadiums? Yes. Leasing stadiums. Leasing stadiums. For what? For parties, basically. Speaker 0: For parties? Speaker 1: Yes. That's a big party. It's a big party. You'd think if you were stealing, you'd start small. They do start small. But then over what happens is over the years so, generally, the fraud starts out small and they try to hide it. But then year after year, if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen, and and every year it gets bigger until they're literally renting out stadiums.

But that was just the beginning. Next up: the United States Institute of Peace—a government agency with “peace” in the name that turned out to be anything but. “We went into the agency and found they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters. Institute for Peace,” a DOGE staffer said. Musk put it bluntly: “Any organizational name is going to kind of be the opposite of the title.” And according to the team, that proved to be true. “It was by far the least peaceful agency we’ve worked with, ironically.” But the deeper they looked, the worse it got. “Additionally we found they were spending money on things like private jets and they even had a $130,000-dollar contract with a former member of the Taliban. This is real. We don’t encounter that in most agencies.” Guns. Jets. Taliban contracts. All tucked under a banner of “peace.”

Video Transcript AI Summary
The United States Institute of Peace was described as the least peaceful agency encountered, with loaded guns found inside its headquarters. The agency was allegedly spending money on private jets and had a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban for generic services with no clear description. It is unclear what the money was for. Since the country's founding, the number of agencies has increased from four to over 400. President Trump signed two executive orders to reduce the number of agencies, including the Institute of Peace, prompting an investigation that uncovered weapons and payments to the Taliban.

Speaker 0: United States Institute of Peace, is definitely the agency we had the most fight at. We actually went into the agency and found that they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters. Institute for Peace. I mean, given company any given organizational name is gonna be it's gonna be the opposite of the title. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And so it was the by far the least peaceful agency that we've worked with Yeah. Ironically. Of course. Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things like private jets, and they even had a 130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban. This is this is real. We don't encounter that in most agencies. Yeah. What was the money going to the Taliban for? So it was a contractor. They received a hundred and $30,000 for generic services. And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear description of what the contractor services were for. Was it for opium? Unclear. Or weapon or weapons? Or nothing. Or or nothing. Or or abroad. Or, yeah, nothing. And and you naturally have to ask the question, how did we get here? Like, when the country was founded, there were only four agencies. Today, there are over 400. So there's been a 100 x increase in the number of agencies since the founding of the nation. And thanks to president Trump, he's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce the number of agencies in the government, and the Institute of Peace was one of them, which is why our team went in to try and understand what was going on. And that's when we found all of the craziness, like the weapons in their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban.

But the Institute of Peace saga went deeper. Just when you thought it couldn’t get more surreal—the cover-up began. DOGE had barely walked through the doors before the agency started deleting records. “Just a few hours we got into their headquarters we found their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years.” The obvious question came up: why? “You would have to ask the question, well why would somebody do that? The DOGE team was fortunately able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace.” Once they had the files back, the full picture emerged. “They received $55 million a year from Congress and on the money that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account which has no congressional oversight and that’s what they would use to fund events at their headquarters and the private jets.” For the DOGE team, this wasn’t just an example of government waste—it was something far worse. “I think it’s a great example because most Americans don’t know what’s going on at a lot of these smaller agencies and this is—I think this is the most extreme case of some of the wasteful spending we are finding.”

Shortly after arriving at the Institute of Peace headquarters, the speaker's team discovered that the chief accountant had deleted over a terabyte of accounting records. The team recovered the data with help from Institute of Peace employees. The speaker alleges that the Institute received $55 million annually from Congress, and instead of returning unspent funds, they transferred it to a private bank account without congressional oversight. These funds were allegedly used for events at their headquarters and private jets. The speaker believes this exemplifies wasteful spending within smaller agencies. Another speaker claims agencies are hiding money and sending it to the Taliban, and that there were loaded weapons in the Institute of Peace buildings. The deletion of financial information is characterized as a cover-up.

Speaker 0: So just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years. So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that? And the Doge team, fortunately, was able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most troubling thing was they received $55,000,000 a year from congress, and any money that went unspent instead of returning that to congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account which had no congressional oversight, and that's what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think it's a great example because most most Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of these smaller agencies and this is, I think the most extreme case of some of the, a wasteful spend that we're finding. Speaker 1: So the agencies are hiding money from you. They're sending it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department buildings. Speaker 0: At the Institute of Peace.

Then came something so ridiculous it sounded like satire. The Small Business Administration had sent out over $300 million in loans… to people who were already dead. And that’s not even the wildest part. A DOGE staffer detailed: “Is the Small Business Administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of 120? The answer was yes and it was around $330 million in total.” Musk followed up with the part that shocked everyone at the table. “And also people with birthdays in the future.” “Like, the birthdate I think in one case was like—we’re talking about your great grandchildren. With the birthdate, like, of 2165.” “More than a century from now was the birth date.” “Because your birthday is in the future, the far future. Not like next year. This is either fraudulent or we have your birthday wrong.” Billions in taxpayer money—and no one bothered to check the dates.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The Small Business Administration reportedly gave loans to dead people and people with impossible ages, totaling around $330 million. Some recipients had birth dates placing them over 115 years old, while others had birth dates in the future, such as 2165. These errors suggest potential fraud or incorrect data entry. The question is whether these discrepancies are due to typos or identity theft.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel...or mine in this case. One of the most bizarre symbols of government inefficiency is a limestone mine in Pennsylvania—where retirement paperwork is still handled the old-fashioned way: on paper. Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb and now part of DOGE, decided to see it for himself. “I had a chance to go to the mine and so I took a golf cart through security down into the side of the mountain and I entered this whole space of caverns and roads.

I realize, for a mine, it’s a great mine. It’s secure, it’s well-lit. Temperature controlled——The question we why are we still using paper in 2025?” He even brought along replica folders to show just how outdated the system is. “I would rather do my taxes in the dark, than have to go through this.” But this story had a win. “What we are doing is we are bringing some process online with modern software. I’m excited to share that as of tonight we have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time.”

Speaker 0: Help me out with retirement, and a few weeks ago, I had a chance to go to the mine. And so I took a golf cart through security down into the side of a mountain and entered daylight left, and I entered this whole space of caverns and roads. And we get to a metal door, and I open it up and there in front of me is sea of filing cabinets from the nineteen sixties. And I'm walking around, it's super chilly, smells like paper. And I, you know, I realized for for a as a mind, it's a great mind. It's secure. It's well lit, temperature controlled. And so the question we're not ask we're asking is not is this a good place to store physical media, which it is. It's amazing for that. The question is, why are we still using paper in 2025? So I brought something to show you Yeah. Of what's inside the mind. Speaker 1: And and only the the normal process for retirement is over could be over six months. So once you file your retirement papers, that's why it takes six months. Speaker 0: Mhmm. What what is that? So these are replica case folders that people use to retire from the government. And so these are all compiled by hand, moved around on carts through the mine. It takes many months to do that, and this one is a single retiree's paper required to leave the government. Speaker 1: Wants to retire, they can't because it takes six months to compile the paper and carry the paper into a mine where it is stored. And also, all the calculations are done by hand. Speaker 0: Everything has to Reconciled, adjudicated, this is thicker than the Word of the Rings trilogy. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: And if I had to process this, I would rather do my taxes in the dark than have to go through Speaker 1: this. Yeah. Speaker 0: And so what we're doing is we're we're bringing this process online with modern software. And, I'm excited to share that as of tonight, we have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time.

And finally, we got to meet the legend himself: Big Balls. For months, he was a mysterious figure inside the DOGE operation—known only by his nickname. Then Jesse Watters asked, “Who’s Big Balls?” A voice from across the table answered without hesitation: “That’s me.” Musk leaned in: “That should be obvious.” The nickname, it turns out, started as a joke on LinkedIn. He wanted to stand out in a sea of suits who played it safe. He didn’t expect anyone to notice. They noticed. But there’s more to Big Balls than a meme. He plays a key role in the team, hunting down fraud buried in federal payment systems. “I’m working on some payment computer stuff,” he said. “We started looking into the payment computers to root out fraud and waste.” And what they found was staggering. In many cases, you could pull up a line item for $20 million—and find no record of where it went. No trail. No explanation. Just holes in the system. That’s what DOGE is trying to fix. And Big Balls is leading the charge.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker uses "BigBalls" as their LinkedIn username to avoid being perceived as overly serious or risk-averse. They didn't expect anyone to notice it. Currently, the speaker is working on payment computer-related tasks, specifically aiming to eliminate fraud and waste. The initiative involves examining payment computers, revealing a lack of accounting for where payments are directed. For instance, a $20,000,000 line item lacks a clear destination, a common issue in many payment systems.

Speaker 0: Big balls. It's big. That should be obvious. Why do they call you Big balls? I just said it as my LinkedIn username. Okay. Well, people on LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously, and they're pretty adverse to risk. And I was like, well, I wanna be neither of those things. So I just I said it, and honestly, I didn't even think anyone would notice. Yeah. When you clicking this so cringe. What does BigBalls do? Right now, I'm working on some payment computer stuff. So one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste. And to do that, we started looking at the payment computers. And as mentioned earlier, like, there is no accounting of what payments actually go to the payment computer. So, like, we you look at a specific line item, like $20,000,000. You're like, okay. Well, what is this money going to? And for the majority of payment systems, it's like, well, we don't really know.

I've been examining several pieces of legislation introduced by Labour that seem to expand state powers significantly. The Crime and Policing Bill proposes measures like harsher sentences for knife crime but also includes a "Respect Order" that could compel individuals to alter their behavior based on minimal judicial thresholds. The Employment Rights Bill shifts power to employees but could hold employers liable for third-party harassment. The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill requires parental consent for home education, undermining parental rights. Lastly, the Planning and Infrastructure Bill may streamline housing but also grants extensive powers to Natural England for land acquisition.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Every bit of "tyrannical" legislation Labour have in the works... Thread 🧵

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In Feb, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper tabled the Crime and Policing Bill in the Commons, with the aim of “halving knife crime and violence against women and girls in a decade".

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

To be sure, the bill contains some arguably solid ideas: harsher sentences for knife crime, stopping protestors climbing on war memorials, and establishing a new and specific spiking offence.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

But, true to form, ministers, civil servants, and OPC lawyers slipped in provisions that hand the state sweeping new powers. Take the very first clause...

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

It outlines something called a “Respect Order”, which authorities—including police and potentially other public bodies—would apply for through the courts.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The order can essentially force someone to do or stop doing “anything described in the order.” Yep, really. The threshold? Minimal.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

A judge simply needs to believe, on the balance of probabilities, that the person “has caused, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to any person.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

A court can then impose the order without notice, which could be indefinite for all we know, and if breached, the penalty is an unlimited fine or up to two years in prison.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In theory, police could persuade a judge that an online post caused someone “distress”. The poster could then be legally compelled to delete it, stay off social media, or even hand over their device passwords.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The bill has already passed its first and second readings and cleared the Committee Stage. It now awaits its third reading, before scrutiny in the Lords.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In Oct 2024, Business Secretary John Reynolds and Baroness Margaret Jones of Whitchurch introduced the Employment Rights Bill—framed as a way to “help more people stay in work, support productivity, and improve living standards.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

At its core, the bill shifts power away from employers—including small businesses—and gives it to employees.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

It proposes to ban so-called “exploitative” zero-hour contracts, raise statutory sick pay, allow for faster union strikes, and make it harder to "unfairly" dismiss staff. But buried in Clause 20 is something else entirely.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The clause would require employers to “take all reasonable steps” to protect their staff from “harassment” by third parties—which could include customers, clients, or even passersby.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Pub owners, venue managers, café operators—anyone with employees—could be held liable for offhand remarks or jokes.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In short, what began as a bill to reform workers' rights somehow—if passed—led to legislation that turbo-charges the Equality Act and, by extension, builds yet another framework to censor speech.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The bill is well-advanced, being in the Lords’ committee stage. It could receive Royal Assent by the end of this year, if not, early 2026.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In Dec 2024, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson and Baroness Jacqueline Smith of Malvern introduced the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, claiming it would “protect children and raise education standards.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In reality, it may be Labour’s most draconian bill yet—something that dramatically expands state authority at direct expense of parental rights. Clause 30 sets the tone.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

For the first time, parents would be required to seek local authority consent to remove a child from school. This is if the child attends a special school or if the local authority is conducting an enquiry and believes the child is experiencing “harm.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

That term, “harm,” by the way, doesn’t just extend to physical abuse. Under current child welfare law, it includes ill-treatment or the impairment of physical, emotional, intellectual, social, or behavioural development.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Even if the council agrees a child would receive a suitable education at home, it could still block the withdrawal—on the grounds that school is in the child’s “best interests.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Since 1876, parents in England have had the legal right to home educate their children. If a local authority believed a child wasn’t receiving a suitable education, it could issue a School Attendance Order (SAO).

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

But at any stage—including in court—a parent could halt proceedings by demonstrating the education is, in fact, suitable. Phillipson’s bill changes that.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Parents could now need to prove not only that home education is suitable—but that school would not be better. That hands decision-making power to the state, even in cases where home education is already working. This, or risk the wrath of the state.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The bill passed its second reading in the Lords earlier this month, and is now in committee stage. It could receive Royal Assent by the end of the year.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

In March 2025, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner introduced the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Its stated aim is to “streamline” the delivery of 1.5 million homes and fast-track 150 major infrastructure projects—cutting through a planning system widely acknowledged to be totally dysfunctional.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Few would disagree. Britain’s planning processes became a regulatory swamp under Conservative rule.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

The Lower Thames Crossing project, for example, has so far cost over £250 million in planning alone—more than it cost Norway to build the world’s longest tunnel.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

On paper, reforms are very welcome. But once journalists and shadow ministers began reviewing Rayner’s bill, a familiar pattern emerged: expansion of state power—at the expense of citizen’s rights.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Clause 82, for example, hands Natural England—a quango—the power to compulsorily purchase land with authorisation from the Secretary of State.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Natural England is central to Labour’s plan to balance development with “environmental offsetting.”

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

Instead of requiring property developers to mitigate “ecological damage” locally—which causes delays—they will pay into a national nature restoration fund. So the quango will offset the environmental costs—by seizing land elsewhere for rewilding or reserves.

@StarkNakedBrief - The Stark Naked Brief.

This is all I could fit here... there are many other worrying clauses. To see the rest—of course, published with source links: https://news.starknakedbrief.co.uk/p/every-bit-of-tyrannical-legislation

The government has openly acknowledged its lack of financial accountability in its 2024 Financial Report, revealing that for 28 years, auditors have been unable to provide an opinion on its financial reports due to significant recordkeeping issues. Key departments, including Defense and Education, cannot substantiate loans or liabilities, raising concerns about their management of taxpayer money. With improper payments totaling $162 billion reported for FY 2024 and projections indicating Social Security and Medicare funds will run out soon, the situation appears dire. The complexity of the federal government is cited as a barrier to accountability.

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

While everyone's busy infighting, the government openly admitted in its 2024 Financial Report that it is totally financially unaccountable to We the People. It's all here in black and white: 🧵 https://t.co/efIalBsB8i

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

First: Congress, which is supposed to have power of the purse, passed S.2170 in 1994, a reform law requiring 24 government agencies to provide annual audited financial reports of their activities, spending, and revenues starting in 1997. This includes: Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Education Department of Energy Department of Health and Human Services Department of Homeland Security Department of Housing and Urban Development Department of Interior Department of Justice Department of Labor Department of State Department of Transportation Department of the Treasury Department of Veterans Affairs Environmental Protection Agency Federal Emergency Management Agency General Services Administration (GSA) National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Science Foundation Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Personnel Management Small Business Administration Social Security Administration

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

And since 1997, Government Accountability Office auditors have disclaimed an opinion on these financial reports due to "material weaknesses" related to bad recordkeeping and reporting. So for 28 STRAIGHT YEARS the government has not been able to account for its financials. https://t.co/noAEitqB2G

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Disclaiming an opinion means the information provided may contain misstatements or omissions and is so untrustworthy on its face that the government's auditors cannot even form an opinion on it. https://t.co/Fj7nly31mk

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Let's talk about the specifics of some of these "material weaknesses". The government can't account for what all it owns and where it is to even be able to report on its assets, most especially those under DOD responsibility — a dept set to receive $961 billion in 2026. https://t.co/sf3neUTQ3i

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Auditors of whole components of the DOD have also disclaimed opinions including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Health Program, Defense Logistics Agency, and Transportation Command. But sure, taxpayers should give them almost a trillion more totally unaccountable dollars. https://t.co/sDu4etFiV5

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Neither the SBA, nor the Dept of Education, can support amounts of loans receivable — that's the amounts they expect to receive from borrowers as repayment for loans they issued! If they can't provide evidence on what is owed, how can they legally expect to be paid back? https://t.co/xjPj0P98Mo

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

They can't substantiate all kinds of liabilities, from Dept of Energy and DOD environmental and disposal liabilities to health benefits for retired federal employees and veterans. On the environmental stuff for example, this would mean these agencies are unable to "determine whether commitments and contingencies were complete and properly reported".

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

This also means the government can't back up what it claims is needed for cost of operations, affecting its ability to reduce costs, assess performance, evaluate programs, etc. — put simply, it can't be expected to be in any way accountable for all the taxes it collects.

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

This government continues to be unable to adequately account for intragovernmental activity and balances between federal entities. https://t.co/drMVlVjnJ2

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Sixteen agencies reported improper payments totaling a whopping $162 billion just for FY 2024, most of which was in Medicare, Medicaid, and EIC, and SNAP. But hey, at least this is down from FY2023 which was $236 billion! https://t.co/c9rT0WduWD

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

But that's magically not the same as fraud — fraud amounts which are so massive, our government isn't even able to estimate how many hundreds of billions it is annually. It was somewhere between $233 and $521 billion in 2018–2022 alone. So... who knows? No one, that's who. https://t.co/XJwwN9Clyz

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

In addition to all those "material weaknesses," the IRS has a "significant deficiency" in its ability to "manage its taxes receivable effectively". https://t.co/YtrJXYbDQ6

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Several entities also fail at managing and overseeing federal grants properly — particularly in regard to "monitoring grant activities" which is the whole point of these grants in the first place! https://t.co/TlSWHYA3HC

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

The HHS has errors in the spreadsheets they're using to calculate and estimate Medicare — a program an estimated 68 million Americans in this country rely on for their healthcare. https://t.co/GQtzTNLOty

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Speaking of, the OASI fund that pays Social Security — which over 74 million people rely on — will run out after 2033. The Hospital Insurance fund that pays Medicare will run out in 2036. An additional $78.2 TRILLION is needed to meet projected expenditures here. https://t.co/rvhFYefxN8

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Oh, and this report coldly lists "low-cost alternatives" in its projections for these programs such as "slower improvement in morality (beneficiaries die younger)" like its an incentive. More immigrants and a higher interest rate will also cut these costs it says. Whoo hoo! https://t.co/rJU8YuUUNB

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Laughably, this report ADMITS "the size and complexity of the federal government" continues "to present a formidable management challenge in providing accountability". So a government that was never meant to be this big now says it is too big to be accountable! YA DON'T SAY!!

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

It is SO unbelievably insulting Janet Yellen signed this flaming dumpster fire of a ridiculous excuse for a report by saying it was her "pleasure" to present such a massive joke in accountability to the American people. After all, it is played at our expense quite literally.

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

Again, no one knows how long this utter lack of accountability has been going on. Because no one can know. This report admits no one knows what the cost of operations is, what loans the SBA and Dept of Ed are owed, how much fraud there is, what the national debt is — NOTHING.

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

No amount of tariffs or taxes can possibly pay off a number the government admits it can't even reliably compute, but hey, they're asking you for Paypal and Venmo payments for it anyway! 🤡 https://t.co/Sxo37KMvYZ

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media

This is an IQ test.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speakers analyze a Treasury/GAO annual report, focusing on page 215 and the independent auditor's report from the US Government Accountability Office. They quote that "for twenty eight consecutive years now, the Government Accountability Office has been disclaiming opinions about all of this information" and that "we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion." They highlight "material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and other limitations on the scope of our work" and that "the federal government is not able to demonstrate the reliability of significant portions of the accompanying accrual based consolidated financial statements." They note weaknesses across DoD, SBA, Education, and environmental liabilities, and that the American Rescue Plan Act 2021 program was "not adequately accounted for." The document also presents "Social Security and Medicare sensitivity analysis" with a "low cost alternative" described as "slower improvement in mortality, beneficiaries die younger." The speakers argue the government's size and complexity impede accountability, that the Federal Reserve is not a government agency, and advocate a "trust game" and a "debt jubilee" to restart.

Speaker 0: How do we start this video? How do we start this video? Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you that. Speaker 2: Everyone's distracted right now about all this stuff that's going on, and they're fighting amongst themselves. All of that, though And Speaker 1: the list. Speaker 2: The list, which I think is extremely important, the list. I mean, I think if you find out that you're being run by criminals who are blackmailed on both sides of the aisle, it's probably a pretty important thing to know. But behind all of that, there's one thing that well, it's a fact that the government is admitting about itself. And no one reads these reports. And so it's basically like every year they say some of this stuff, and they they admit things, and the media is not doing its job, so it's not gonna tell you this. No nobody's really talking about it. They are, but they're not. They're not showing you in plain language that you could actually see well, I won't say plain language because the way they write these reports is very Speaker 1: It's not that plain. Speaker 2: It actually is mind numbing and obtuse and obscure and vague and done in such a manner that you will actually fall asleep by page two, so you'll never get to page, you know, 215 and actually see what's going on. That's that's what they actually do. But you need to see this for yourself. Need to show this to your friends. They need to see it. You need to go look this up. Read it for yourself too when I'm done here. I'm not gonna read you all 245 pages of this because you will fall asleep. Your brain will liquefy. It might leak out your ears. Speaker 1: Yeah. Everyone talks about the $37,000,000,000,000 debt clock and counting at a crazy rate. It is crazy. It's totally crazy. But then more quietly, they have an annual report from the Treasury Department to Congress on the real government financial condition, which includes drastically more money and unfunded liabilities and other obligations that the federal government has signed on to. You know, this report was put out by Brian McGlinchey of Stark Realities, and it was over on zero hedge. Speaker 2: And it says right here, according to him, that we don't we're not in 37,000,000,000,000 in national debt. You know, everyone got the little debt clock, but that's not that's not true. Actually, according to a barely publicized treasury report, the actual grand total of uncle Sam's obligations is more than 151,000,000,000,000. That's insane. So I thought, I'm gonna go get the actual report though because I wanna see these numbers for myself. I'm one of those people. I like to do that even though I hate reading reports like this because, like I said, they're written in language that's meant to hypnotize you and put you to sleep before any meaningful conclusions can be drawn from what's written in them. And I hate it. And I hate it with a passion. Okay? The fire of a thousand suns. But I did this anyway. And once I started doing it, I realized that there's no way for any of us to actually know anything about any of these numbers being true, real, even remotely close to accurate representations of reality. Nothing. Nothing. Okay? So you need to see this report for yourself. I've highlighted some things. Now it goes straight into this letter from Janet Yellen that was written in January 2025 about how great everything was. They started off on a really positive note about how positive everything is. Inflation's down. Unemployment rates are near historic lows. Economic growth is strong. They say all the the buzz phrases that should make you think that everything is just peachy. And then they start going through the contents and notes and all of this stuff. Right? And it's a lot of charts. It looks like a PowerPoint presentation someone gave in the nineties. It's it's actually really sad that this much money is spent on the government. They can't even write a report that doesn't look like this. But anyway, I figured out, once I started scrolling down there's some pretty crazy stuff in here, but I'm not even gonna get to that because you don't even need to do all of that. What you need to do is go straight to page 215. So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go straight to page 215 because this is what you actually need to know. Because you'll you'll read all this other stuff. You'll see all these charts. You'll be like, this is very official looking. All of these numbers, all of these bullet points, all of these figures, blah blah blah, all this talking, all these words, all this semantic house of cards. But if you get down in here Speaker 1: You're talking about page two zero eight, but the PDF is page two fifteen. Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. It's on the page written is two zero eight. But if you type in the page number at the sidebar, it'll be two fifteen. Yes. Thank you for clarifying that. But this is where you will come upon the independent auditor's report from the US Government Accountability Office. This is what you actually need to see. Alright? Because for twenty eight consecutive years now, the Government Accountability Office has been disclaiming opinions about all of this information that's in this report for twenty eight years. What does that mean? It means that the auditors are unable to obtain sufficient information, evidence, data to even express an opinion on what is being communicated in this report, let alone to actually audit or evaluate any of it, which suggests that the reliability of the information contained in this report is basically nonexistent. There isn't any because they do not have any faith whatsoever in the information that is being presented. That is what that means to disclaim an opinion, and they've been doing that now since at least 1997. In fact, I found this press release from 2006 on the US Government Accountability Office that says US financial statements received disclaimer of opinion for tenth straight year. So at least going back to '19 well, in the report, it says '97. At least going back to 1997, they the auditors of the government accountability office have not been able to do their job really. Speaker 1: Okay. But this report required by congress has only been law since 1994. That's twenty eight years out of thirty one years total. Thirty, thirty one years depending on when the first one came out. Exactly. So it's pretty much the whole time. Speaker 2: The whole time, guys. That's what I'm saying. So you need to see this part of the report because this is the level we're actually at, and nobody's really like, everyone knows, like, the budget's not balanced. Everyone knows we're in horrible debt. But you need to actually see what that actually means in in when it's spelled out by the one office we're supposed to have that the whole purpose of it existing is accountability. Okay? So here's what those people are saying. It says, in our audits of the US government's consolidated financial statements as of and for fiscal years ended 09/30/2024 and 2023, we found the following. Certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and other limitations on the scope of our work resulted in conditions that continued to prevent us from expressing an opinion on the accompanying accrual based consolidated financial statements for those years. Now they use this phrase material weaknesses, which I think is a really fun semantics game they're playing, and that is defined down here in a footnote. And you need to see that because they use it over and over and over again. So you need to know what that means. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a misstatement of financial statements will not be prevented. And and even describing this is convoluted passive voice euphemisms instead of just telling you what it actually says. In plain language, what this means is the way that they are keeping their financial records is so fundamentally flawed that there's a reasonable possibility that the stuff in here is not true. Material misstatement. The way they're doing this is so flawed that the information that's being reported is probably not correct. That's basically what that says. It says that a deficiency in internal control exists when a designer operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions to prevent, detect, and correct misstatements on a timely basis. So in other words, material weakness means they don't have good data. They cannot trust these figures. They cannot trust these anything that's being reported is what that means. If they say there's a material weakness, that's essentially what that means. It means there's no accountability. You can't match up what are, in some cases in this report, billions of dollars in transactions. Speaker 1: I mean, when you put this into perspective, back in nineteen ninety four, ninety three, ninety four, congress is far from perfect, but basically, they mandated that the treasury give them an annual report of all the real facts because after all, constitutionally, it's congress that's supposed to have power of the purse and the funding even though the treasury department is under the executive branch. So when that legislation became law in '94, the result of it was a treasury department report that says, actually, the dog ate my homework. These numbers are no good. There was water spilled on this. I can't read this number. We've got inspector generals who are out with stomachaches today. And so, basically, none of these numbers are real, and you can't rely on anyone. So there's your information, congress. Good luck balancing the budget or being accountable to the people in any way. We're an executive branch. Speaker 2: Exactly. That's what this is like. Speaker 1: It's a it's a problem that goes all the way back to the founding of the country. It's a problem that popped up with Doge and Elon Musk even, you know, playing his side Speaker 2: of it. Anything at all, basically. Speaker 1: Not that I'm endorsing his side of it either. I'm just saying to the extent that congress ever expressed an intent to properly manage fiscal matters and even just have knowledge and disclosure of the money, it was pretty much obfuscated. Speaker 2: So it starts with the material weaknesses, which prevent them from expressing an opinion about or being able to audit at all because there's just the data is so bad. Then it says it says material weaknesses resulted in ineffective internal control over financial reporting for fiscal year twenty twenty four, and material weaknesses and other scope limitations, limited tests of compliance with selected provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements for fiscal year twenty twenty four. So, basically, none of this information that's contained in this report is trustworthy. And the further you scroll down in here, they lay it all out. They say, because of the significance of the related matters described in the basis for their disclaimer of opinion, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. We were not yeah. That's what they keep saying. Then it says, the federal government is not able to demonstrate the reliability of significant portions of the accompanying accrual based consolidated financial statements as of and for fiscal years ended 09/30/2024 and 2023, principally because of the limitations related to certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and other limitations affecting the reliability of these statements and the scope of our work. The federal government did not maintain adequate systems or have sufficient appropriate evidence to support certain material information reported in these statements. The underlying material weaknesses, blah blah blah, specifically concern the federal government's inability to satisfactorily determine that property, plant, and equipment, and inventories, and related property primarily held by the Department of Defense were properly reported, reasonably estimate the value of loans receivable and loan guarantees, most notably at the Small Business Administration and the Department of Education. So they don't really know about that. They don't they can't reasonably estimate the value of loans and loan guarantees at the Department of Education. You know, the loans that they're getting all of us to fight with each other over, they don't know. Okay? The government does not even know. Says they cannot reasonably estimate or adequately support amounts reported for certain liabilities, such as environmental and disposal liabilities and things like nuclear cleanup and stuff like that, or determine whether commitments and contingencies were complete and properly reported. Cannot support significant portions of the reported total net cost of operations, most notably related to the Department of Defense, the Small Business Association, the Department of Education, and security assistance accounts, and adequately reconcile disbursement activity at certain federal entities cannot adequately account for intragovernmental activity and balances between federal entities cannot reasonably assure that the consolidated financial statements are, one, consistent with the underlying audited entities financial statements, two, properly balanced. They can't assure these are properly balanced. Okay? And three, in accordance with The US generally accepted accounting principles, They cannot reasonably assure that the information in the reconciliations of net operating cost and budget deficit and the statements of changes in cash balance from budget and other activities is complete, properly supported, and consistent with the underlying information in the audited entities' financial statements and other financial data. Then it says, these material weaknesses, that is lack of any data that's reliable at all, continue to, number one, hamper the federal government's ability to reliably report a significant portion of its assets, liabilities, costs, and other related information. Number two, affect the federal government's ability to reliably measure the full cost as well as financial and nonfinancial performance of government programs and activities. Number three, impair the federal government's ability to adequately safeguard significant assets and properly record various transactions. And four, hinder the federal government from having reliable, useful, and timely financial information to operate effectively and efficiently. Period. Like, that is what this says. Okay? Speaker 1: So junk in, junk out. I mean, if you never have reliable numbers, you can't make a reliable assessment, and you've got inspectors general not even properly reporting. If they're even appointed, that's become a growing problem. Inspector general's not even appointed for Speaker 2: Well, what's the point of having one? Because they're not turning in reports, then the reports they are turning in don't have any data in them that actually is based on factual reality in any kind of conceivable way. Speaker 1: They they expect every single American household to have an exact accounting of all their finances throughout the year, a portion. Meanwhile, we're used to the the post World War two period being filled with black budgets. You know, the Department of Defense, the military, the CIA, and all these special secret They operate on a black budget. You never find the bottom of it, and they're funding proxy wars and carrying out secret wars that are immensely expensive. It's a terrible problem for our system of government, but we're we're accustomed to that. But, basically, what this report boils down to is that the entire federal government operates on a black budget. Speaker 2: Basically, yes. That is it. You've just hit the nail on the head because they don't know Speaker 1: And that's before you get into the Federal Reserve printing the money. Speaker 2: Like, that's the other thing. Congress cannot possibly do its job. It's not even possible for congress to that's before you get into, like, should they be allowed to insider trade, which, of course, they totally are and they don't care how corrupt they look and all that stuff. None of these numbers they're getting mean anything. They don't mean anything. That's what this is. It's all an illusion. Speaker 1: And it's clear that the Federal Reserve is not a government agency. They're not accountable. They certainly don't submit an audit report. And if they did, it would be as blank as this one. Speaker 2: Pretty much. Speaker 1: But they're accountable to no one. They manipulate things. They print at will. They all get a percentage. Their shareholders profit. We can't know any of that. We can't even know who the shareholders are. But then in as much as the Federal Reserve to a degree services the US federal government and the treasury, we can't even get basic numbers on those expenditures and account items. Speaker 2: We can't. Speaker 1: It's insane. Speaker 2: We don't have anything. And it actually even goes on to say that in addition, the government did not adequately account for or report the entire special financial assistance program that they did under the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021. So all that COVID stuff, they were they didn't report or account for any of it. They didn't do they just whatever. They just did stuff and whatever. All this inflation that we've seen, all this stuff that has happened since. Financially, they did not account for and report any of the stuff they did with that whole special financial assistance program thing they did. There's just nothing there. And it says that this program is supposed to provide payments to eligible multi employer pension plans, enabling them to pay benefits at plan levels through 2051. That's what this says. And that plans are not required to repay amounts received from this program, which they did not adequately account for or report on. So there's that. There's just there's just another thing, I guess. Whatever. And then as you get down here, they straight up say, as a result of the significant uncertainties and material weaknesses, readers are cautioned. Like, if anyone even reads this report down here to this page all the way towards the end, readers are cautioned that this page, which is March '12 but is 02/2019 in the program, readers are cautioned that amounts reported in the 2024 and 2023 statements of long term projections, the 2024, 23, 22, 21, and 20 statements of social insurance, which is how that directly affects a lot of people's millions of people's lives, the 2024 and 2023 statements of changes in social insurance amounts and related notes to these financial statements may not fairly present in all material aspects the sustainability information for those years in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. So in other words, because we have bad data, we can't give you an audit or report on even what's going on right now. We also can't project long term future anything. We can't project anything. We have no estimates that really mean anything. That is what that basically says. We're making these fiscal projections based on basically nothing. That's what it says. I'm gonna scroll down. I'm not gonna read all of this because like I said, it just gets really tedious and repetitive, but you you should at least go read these 30 pages for yourself just to see for yourself that it's all right here in black and white. Other limitations on the scope of our work. For the fiscal years of 2024 and '23, there were other limitations on the scope of the government accountability office auditors. The additional limitations primarily relate to obtaining adequate representations from management regarding the financial statements. Now that is a really nice way of saying we couldn't get anyone to vouch for the the reports that they gave us to to audit. We couldn't get any of these people in management of these government agencies to vouch, okay, for the for the data they're giving us. Speaker 1: The government is fundamentally unaccountable in some very basic and key ways. Speaker 2: I mean, you you turn in these reports. You gotta have someone that signs off on it and says, you know, this information is correct. You know how they make you sign that stuff all the time in your own life. I swear that, you know, this info is true to the best of my knowledge and that nothing important is being hidden or, you know, has been manipulated or whatever. Right? But they said they're saying here they couldn't get adequate representations from management regarding the financial statements. That means that they didn't get good assurance that what's here is not weak or missing information. Speaker 1: It means is that the executive branch Speaker 2: do the job. Speaker 1: They nominally complied with congress's requirement by saying, well, we can't really guarantee these numbers since we never got good numbers, but here's your report. Speaker 2: It's like you could just get AI to write, like, some big long report. It doesn't mean that it means anything, and that's what this is. It's a big long report filled with lots of, you know, graphs and charts that look like they were made in freaking, I don't know, PowerPoint presentation in the mid nineties, and they don't mean anything. Then it's a ahead. No. You go ahead. Speaker 1: No. You go ahead. Speaker 2: No. You go ahead. Speaker 1: I mean, what it boils down to is the debt we think we know, which is bad enough and already staggering, pales in comparison to to the obligations this government has made, and we don't know the real numbers. Speaker 2: We don't know what they are. Speaker 1: No one can know the It real is not knowable. It's worse than a house of cards because it's as if there aren't even cards. Yeah. Okay? But the one thing they are sure about is that they made a lot of social obligations, especially for Medicare and Social Security, I e the one department of the federal government's largest that directly impacts and potentially benefits actual people of this country. Speaker 3: When Social Security was first founded, those who established it, it was started out as a 2% tax, and they said this will never take more than 6% of your income. Today, it takes 12.4%. And depending on whether you go with CBO or Social Security trustees, needs to take between 15.817.5%. So we're talking about thousands of dollars more per year. It also was actually only originally recommended that the tax be up to $66,000 equivalent in today's dollars of earnings. But over time, it has expanded massively and the money has been spent every year. So whereas everybody thinks this money has been set aside for me. No, for the past thirteen years, every dollar that has gone out of workers' paychecks has gone immediately to pay promised benefits. And that's what happens when you have a system that enables those in charge of it to spend the money in the immediate term and leave the buck to the next generation that's coming along. Since he just brought up the Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, because I Speaker 2: think that's what a lot of people are super focused on because there are a lot of people who that's their whole way of life is based upon that being a thing that exists. But they're basically saying in here that we've got maybe eight years we got less than a decade left of that program having the funds to even pay for it. And, again, that's if you could even go off these numbers, which, like I said, they cannot. They cannot go off of these numbers. But there's some really creepy, ethically disturbing things that have been written in this report, and I'm not gonna get into all of that. You can go look it for yourself. But an example of what I mean by that, you can find on the bottom of page one seventy nine under Social Security and Medicare sensitivity analysis. I'm going to the very last paragraph here at the bottom under that header. It says the following tables show the present values of the estimated excess of Social Security and Medicare costs over income for the seventy five year period using various assumptions with which are shown in parentheses. And then it says the low cost alternative is characterized by assumptions that improve the financial status of the program relative to the intermediate assumption, such as slower improvement in mortality, parentheses, beneficiaries die younger. Basically, they put that in there as a best case scenario. So the cold hard facts of this document as a financial document, which they just admitted in the government accountability section shows you they can't go on these numbers anyways, but they have outlined in here that a low cost alternative, as they call it, is that there is slower improvement in mortality, parentheses, beneficiaries die younger. So Speaker 1: It's stunning. Speaker 2: From a purely fiscal standpoint, which is how this is written, that is what they are saying. On the next page is the chart, and then underneath that chart, it says, the average annual reduction in death rates. If people die at younger ages, Social Security income relative to cost would decrease by $5,100,000,000,000. But if they live longer, the shortfall would increase by $6,000,000,000,000. Speaker 1: Basically, anyone who cares about this finance has a vested interest in hoping people die as soon as possible so they don't have to pay them programs they promised them and that many people are counting on, which are nonetheless unconstitutional programs. But this country got hooked on FDR related programs and other social programs. It's it's a total departure from the constitution and the way this country was set up. Speaker 4: By by the way, Social Security, for those of you who don't know, this group up here in 1983 voted to tax Social Security. And then a few years later, tax it again. It's all a scam. This is all a scam. I mean, we got people that's getting ready to retire that's gonna try to live off 2 to $3,000. Impossible. It's impossible Because what happens, it comes up here, we spend it. We're 35,000,000,000,000 in debt. We don't have any money. We're dead broke. Speaker 1: But by way of funny money, real people's lives, real people who actually exist Speaker 2: is affecting us. Like, it's Speaker 1: affecting everyone. This fake money, money that's so fake, they can't even admit to congress how much money it even is. Speaker 2: Then it straight up admits on page two eighteen. Admits, okay, long standing financial management system weaknesses at several large CFO Act agencies along with the size and complexity of the federal government, which was never ever supposed to be this gargantuan, leviathan, octopus system that it has become. It was never supposed to be like this under the framework of the constitution. This is not how things are supposed to be at all. It blames the size and complexity of the federal government as continuing to present a formidable management challenge in providing accountability and contribute significantly to material weaknesses and limitations that are discussed in this audit report. So they're admitting to you right there, ladies and gentlemen, that this government is too big for them to even financially manage it all, let alone have any accountability whatsoever. Speaker 1: Too big to even account for even internally, much less for people to lobby their representatives to politely ask the deep state to please, you know, reduce the programs or be more reasonable. It's so out of control, even the people in government can't account for how large, complex, and expensive it is. Speaker 2: No. Have you seen the memes? It's like for a millennial, my retirement plan is societal collapse. People are making like, they're they're, like, sewing little pillows that say that and putting them on their couch because that's the level we're at. We all know this isn't gonna be here for us and anyone coming up after us. Speaker 1: Well, meanwhile, the aging boomers of of all our families, everyone you know Speaker 2: They're reliant on generation. Lot of people that are reliant on this, Speaker 1: They're relying on Speaker 2: pay any bills without this. Speaker 1: I mean, some people have their own personal investments and retirement funds, but for a lot of people, this is basically all they got. Speaker 2: This is Speaker 1: And that money is running out, what, less than a decade? Yes. Maybe it already has Speaker 2: a run. Changing it in here. Actually, may have good. Different years. Speaker 1: All we know, it 100% ran out. You know it can go. We don't even know the Speaker 2: real numbers. They they're not even printing money anymore. They're just moving digits around on a screen somewhere. Like, this it doesn't it's not connected to reality in any possible way. That is what this says. Speaker 4: And then taxpayers have $2,000,000,000,000 in credit card debt. We are in huge trouble. In this body, we had better start figuring that out because we're gonna have a run on this city here soon, and there's gonna be about a 150,000,000 people coming up here saying, where's our damn money that we paid in? Speaker 1: So between the lines of this report, it, first of all, says the executive branch is not gonna tell the elected congress any real information. Second, it says this is a bursting bubble that's gonna be a huge financial problem, and there's basically three or four main routes on how that could be handled. One is the government near default may just simply fail to fulfill its obligations and wouldn't pay out. Two, they print money. They print more and more money like they do for every crisis from Federal Reserve, lend it to the treasury at interest, and then give it to these programs through a system that will create insane hyperinflation, and then basically there would be some form of economic collapse, all of which, you know, the pain and burden of it would fall on us ordinary people. Another thing they could do is sell government bonds to get ordinary people and institutional investors to loan them the money to pay for this. However, at least the institutional investors and those who are wise in the financial area know how risky it is for the government that can't afford its own program, so they're demanding higher interest rates to pay back for those bonds, which in some cases have already outstripped the debt that they're trying to fulfill. Okay? The final leg of that chair, which is not gonna stand, is reducing the number of beneficiaries that they promised to pay out by shortening their lifespan, which Speaker 2: the mentioned in here. Speaker 1: Which is the eugenical front of this. And, you know, where does this show up in everyday society? Which crises of the past several years? Speaker 2: Yeah. Can you think of anything that's happened in the last five years that was real weird, didn't make a whole lot of sense? I I don't know. It's kind of hard. Like, what what was that that happened that was very strange? And everyone's like, why would that be the case? Speaker 1: There are people quite literally banking on the shortening of life. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. That is what is on the table. Economics that don't compute. Math that not only doesn't work, but math that can't work because they don't even have the proper inputs. Speaker 2: This is so incredibly ins insolvent. There's no this is like that part of a cartoon where they're driving a car that's, like, already junking out down the hill, and the parts just all start flying off. And by the time the cartoon character gets to the bottom of the hill, every single part of the car is gone and and the character's just basically sitting in a chair with a steering wheel. That's what's going on. That's what's actually going on, and people are paying taxes to this. People are paying taxes to this, and that's what they're doing. In fact, they just released a new thing where you can Venmo or PayPal the government to pay down the debt. They're trying to get people to send them PayPal pay payments on this, and they're not even accountable to what it is because nobody actually knows. You can't say it's 37,000,000,000,000. You can't say it's a 151,000,000,000,000. It's probably something even way more asinine than any of us could even know. It's insane. This is insane. You can't run anything this way. It's not possible. It's not possible to balance this or fix it. There's no doge that's gonna come in and, like, fix this. You can't do anything with it at all. Okay? And what's even scarier about this is, like I said, this has been going on for twenty eight consecutive years now on record. So all of the data they've been feeding into AI, if it's this kind of data at all in any possible way, AI can't fix this either. All that promise about AI is gonna come in and run this and fix it, that's not that's not gonna happen either. It's not possible because all you're doing is feeding this complete bullshit data into a system so it can give you complete bullshit numbers and complete bullshit projections that are basically worthless, as worthless as this report is, the whole thing. It's just I'm not gonna keep reading this report, actually. Like, we we recorded a whole hour of talking about this report, and go read this for yourself. Go get this report. I'm gonna put the link below. Type in the number two fifteen. Go to that page and just read through some of the stuff that they admit to, that they admit what pisses me off about this. K? Because we've all known for a long I think we've all let's let's be adults in the room. Okay? Because these people obviously are not. All of you out there know. You have been having to cut costs in your own house. You've had to worry about what's gonna happen. Probably been taking on some debt. A lot of people taking on some debt. We're all out here struggling. K? I was at the grocery store earlier tonight, and there were half eaten containers of food that had been eaten while people were walking around the store and just being left around the store. I've lived here since 2021. I've never seen that before. People are struggling. We were in Dallas last week, and I saw a woman just walking down the street with no clothes on. The the amount of craziness that is happening in the streets of our country and the things that are going on and the amount of suffering, pure suffering that is occurring in our country right now is unbelievable to watch while these people are sitting up here writing reports like this. There is absolutely zero accountability in this report. None. It is a joke that is being played on everybody. It is an illusion. It is fiction. There is nothing here. It's a bag of nothing. That is what this report is. And I could go through and read you all the little specifics like I normally do in these videos and say, look at all this and this and this and this. We could be here for an hour and a half, or you can just go get this and look at it for yourself, and you'll see what I mean. Even people who are trying to say, oh, it's actually the unfunded liabilities bring it up to a 151,000,000,000,000 or something like that. Whatever. There's no way to know that. There is no way to know that that is the actual number. There's no way to know. It's probably way worse. And I don't even know how it could be that much because supposedly the entire the total debt of the entire global debt of the whole world is 315,000,000,000,000. How could how could it be a 151 just here? Do you see? Like, that math doesn't add up either. I bet all the numbers across this place are all phony. I wanna bet you. How much you wanna bet that this right here is just what we're seeing here, and this is being replicated everywhere? What do you wanna bet? This entire thing, like he said, it's not even a house of cards because there's not even cards. It is a game, though, and it's definitely being played on everybody. There is there's no this is not our debt. Okay? This is not our debt. It's not mine. It's not yours. You didn't do this. This is unaccountable, just total highway I don't even not even highway robbery because it's all made up, printed, fake, nothing. It's based on nothing. They could change it at will. They could always print more money. Remember what Greenspan said? The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default. So this is ridiculous, but the rest of us are supposed to all live under some kind of slavery to this. Right? And and of course, no one's having kids in the younger generation. Do you think they wanna bring more slaves into this? Are you kidding? Of course not. No. Why would they? It makes no sense. Alright? So that's why. They're looking around like, what what what is the point, and what can we tell them? What can we in the older generations tell them? I'm a millennial. What can I tell them? What can I say? Speaker 1: Once they passed a modest reporting law, they suddenly couldn't come up with the numbers. But when it's time to ask for the money and demand the budgets, they got numbers all day long. Die. Yeah. This gets back to some of the John Locke stuff you were you were talking about from last week. Natural law. This is our government. This is our system. We're supposed to be loyal at least to the ideas and principles of the constitution, maybe not to the government itself, but the government is supposed to serve those ends. And yet it's so predatory and so dismissive and devaluing of life. How are we any better off than living in the jungle? The most primitive societies you could think of took care of their elders. They looked after people. Maybe lives were supposedly nasty, short, and brutish, but at least they didn't have some bureaucracy weighing over them and, like, scaling their life, not on their deeds, not on the things they had done or what they represent, but on cold, hard cash, whatever that is. Speaker 2: Like, this is insane. There is no no responsibility here. So what you're watching when you watch congress have these arguments with each other about whether or not they can insider trade or not. They're completely unaccountable. Completely unaccountable to us. Completely unaccountable to the everything that they're supposed to be doing. There's no way for them to be because these numbers are completely made up. None of this is real. That is what this report says over and over and over. So I don't know what else you need to see to understand the level that things are at, But they're openly admitting it because they don't think anyone's even going to read it. Okay? They don't. And they're paying influencers now to keep people infighting about all of this other bullshit. And guess what? None of it even really matters. It doesn't. Like I said, if anything, the only reason they're trying to bring back up Epstein now and because they don't ever plan to tell on themselves. None of these people plan to tell on themselves. The only reason they bring it back up now is to get people to demand this stuff be accountable so that then if they decide to use it as an excuse to collapse everything, they could put this under the collapse, and then they don't have to take responsibility for any of this. This right here that you are seeing will never be fixed from inside of here. It is not possible. There's no way, and they admit it in here. In the report, they admit that the size of this leviathan thing makes it impossible. There aren't enough tariffs in the world to pay off whatever's really going on here, and there is absolutely zero reason that anyone, any one of us in America should believe that any of the money that's being raised by tariffs is actually going to pay what this is since they don't even know what it actually is, and it's probably in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. This has probably been going on for a very, very, very long time, way longer than just twenty eight years, if I had to guess. But there's no amount of anything that is going to fix this. No amount of budget cutting, no amount of tariffs, no amount of raising taxes on us all, and there is no reason to trust that any of that money from tariffs or taxes or anything at all in any way is actually going to pay this or going towards where they say it's going. Why would you trust them with that? They're not accountable on at any level, so why would you trust that they'll be accountable with that? There is absolute trust is earned. Trust is earned. That is why we called the entire series on our monetary system that we made the trust game because that's what this is. There's no reason to trust anything that we are being told about this. Any budgets that they're calling for, any amounts they say are going to happen in the future, It's all based on phony numbers to begin with, so you can't arrive at a conclusion that is also anything other than phony. And the people who are in there suckling at the teat of this and benefiting off of this total fraud and complete and utter unaccountability for hundreds of billions of dollars, which is probably more in the trillions and probably, like, insane amounts of trillions, they're never gonna fix this. Not ever. Not even if they even wanted to. Like, if there's someone in there who wants to. Right? Not gonna happen. Sorry. You can't you can't fix this. The only way this gets fixed is if we go back to the founding principles of this country, the limited government that we were supposed to have in the beginning, and you clean house. Those people all need to be fired. None of them should be there because they're not gonna fix this. They're not gonna fix this. They can't fix it. This is not fixable. This is unaccountability at every level. I don't know what else to keep saying. I've been saying stuff for thirteen years, and I don't know what else to say. This is where we are. And I'm sorry that all of these levels of people out here are so busy thinking about their own personal situation and their own benefit off of that that they are too afraid to tell you that. I'm afraid too. I'm afraid for all of us. When I saw this, I was like, oh my god. This is insane. How can anything be so bad? It is so bad. But I'm more afraid of what happens if none of us admit this to ourselves and this does not change at all for the better because this is gonna affect everybody. This affects everybody. So I would say that's the reason we're talking about moving everything into some technocracy thing. It will not be legitimate. Everything they got now, they try to roll it into some AI system, that will all be bunk. All of it. All of it. Because you can't put any of this in there. All of this data is bad. You're gonna put bad data in there. You're gonna get bad data back out again. They're gonna start a whole new system based on bad data built into the foundations of the system. It will only go down from there. You have to have a zero. You have to have a debt jubilee zero start over because there is no way you can continue on with this charade. It is a charade. That is all it is. There is nothing there. I don't know how many more times I can say it. I'm just repeating myself, but I just everybody needs to understand this. I stayed up reading this all night last night because I just couldn't I couldn't I couldn't believe how completely and utterly just bereft of any type of legitimacy this is. This is the most illegitimate thing I have ever seen. Speaker 1: The only thing you need to know is this page was intentionally left blank. Speaker 0: I love you guys. I think we should probably cut this off. Do you Speaker 2: have anything else you wanna say? Speaker 1: I love you too. Take care of yourself and your loved ones as best you can because this government can't take care of you, and it won't take care of you. And the technocrats coming up on the next version of that system, I can't say I have any faith in it Yeah. Speaker 2: Exactly.
