Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Friday, a magnificent Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday. We have all kinds of amazing questions on everything under the sun, from the FBI, history, Democrats, Doge, the big beautiful bill in Congress, all that, so much more coming up tonight on the World Famous Jesse Kelly Show. I actually want to began on the Doge stuff from today because it actually is applicable to one of the questions, and it's
applicable to what's happening right now in Congress. It's this is the important thing that other people aren't talking about. I know, the flashy headline about this and that, but this is what's important. The guy says, Doge, what.
In the world?
Man?
Although we didn't say what in the world, They said, why does it seem like Doge is fizzling out? Okay, it's an interesting question because it comes on the heels of a big Doge press release today talking about all the things they just discovered. Now I'm going to go through some of these things and then we're going to have a talk about Doge. What is its real value, what it's not, what it is anyway? Here they were.
There was a four billion dollar COVID fund in the Department of Education, and there was no receipts required, so people be just drawed down on it.
And when people looked into it, this wasn't dust. This was before us.
They found that money was being used to rent out Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. 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, nobody drew down a money anymore.
Now, let me explain something before we go on, because I know you're probably getting ready to punch the radio or the dog or someone else. Please don't punch anybody. Definitely don't punch your dog. Let me explain and what I'm about to talk about, you know, but it's still going to make your blood pressure go up. Hey, it's Friday. Let that go. We're just gonna talk, Okay. I ran for Congress one time. As you know, I've talked about it many times before, and when I was running for
Congress the first time. This was during the recession, right about that two thousand and eight recession time. You remember, anyone old enough remembers, it's a very tough time. And for me as an adult because I was out of the Marine Corps this time, and I was in my twenties, and you finally start to notice more things than you do as a kid. You know, you notice different things
as a kid than you do as an adult. That was the first time in my life I remember looking around and kind of being hit at all the businesses that were closing. I hadn't really lived as an adult in that America yet. Now that you have, if you're old enough, But for me at that time, that was really the first time I looked around and I saw you could see it with your own eyes, real economic suffering.
Strip malls that used to have six businesses in it, little strip mall, you know, the little sandwich shop and the dry cleaner. After six months it had two left and everything else is boarded up. And this is what it was like. I was in Arizona. This was in southern Arizona at the time, but this was across the country. You remember what it was like. It really hit me. You could see you could see everything shrinking. You could see everything kind of just crumbling. It was a real
economic downter. Now, running for Congress, as I've explained to you before, you have to raise money. I don't like to ask you for money. So I don't have a lot of people running for off on the show. It's very rare. As you know, it's rare that I have anyone anyway, but people running for office is extremely rare. That's part of the reason is because they're gonna ask for money. And I'm gonna ask for money. If I have someone on that I care enough about, I'm gonna
ask you to give them money. And that sucks. But you know what money really matters in politics. You have to raise it. You have to raise some of it. You don't have to outraise your opponent, but you got to raise money for commercials and all kinds of stuff. You have to have it. Part of running for Congress was flying back to Washington, d C. To ask different congressmen for money from their political packs. This was my Now, this is stuff that you're gonna know, but this I
lived it, and this was my experience with it. I flew back to Washington, d C. The very first time I had never been in my life. We didn't get to go. I didn't get to go on the Washington d C. Field trip. So many school classes take and whatnot. I think we didn't have the money or something like that at the time. But either way, I was in twenties that I'd never been to DC. Maybe you've never been.
This was my first experience with it. And we landed in Washington, DC and it was like the recession that I had been living, that i'd been witnessing. It was like I landed on a completely different planet. There was no recession in DC. In fact, it everything was new. Everything was new, and there were new things being built. What wasn't new was about to be new. It was shiny and it was glass, and it was new paved roads, and it was new this, and it was everything was
brand new. And I was with one of my guys my campaign manager at the time is my buddy Adam, and I because he had a lot of experience in DC. He had lived there, did like an internship and stuff like that there, and I was so floored by it that we had a conversation by it. I said, Dude, everything is new, And he said, Jesse, where do you think all your tax money goes, Buddy, the federal government. All government's work this way. We'll stick with the federal
government for our purposes. Now, the federal government is full of people, criminals. They're not all criminals, of course, but it is absolutely full of criminals. And they take that federal job and stay in that federal job and work their way up through the federal employment system for two reasons. One, the job security that comes with it. Everybody knows, you can't fire these frigging people. They're like dag gone ticks. You got to burn them out. You can't get them out.
They're all unionized. You got to relocate to eliminate. It's a nightmare trying to fire them. So one, it's the job security slash benefits. They all get the best benefits in the world. But two, most of these people are not talented. They don't have any unique gifts, they don't have have an outstanding work ethic, they don't have the things that you have. They don't have the things that are required to make it big in the private sector outside of the government. Well, what are they gonna do?
Settle for just nothing? No, they want the finer things in life. To say, well, you want the finer things in life. They want red lobster. They don't want to settle for long John silvers. They want to upgrade. They want the best of the best. Well, I mean, we do work for the federal government and there's so much money here the American treasury. It's just a sea of money. What if what if we found a way to get our hands on that money. What if we did that?
You know those stories about mayor this mayor that. Mayor Karen Bass just did this member. They had that huge fire in Los Angeles, and the controversy was that Mayor Karen Bass was on a taxpayer funded trip to freaking Africa at the time. Wow, we're just studying how things are working in Ghana. She got elected Los Angeles has a big, fat treasury. You didn't think she was there to do some good with that money or with that position, right, She's there to enrich herself, to live like a king
on your money. That's how it works in the federal government. Only it's so much more than the mayor's office. Department after department after department after department, full of these career criminal comedy. Bureaucrats who can't make it in the private sector aren't motivated to even try, and why would they, because they've made a twenty thirty year career luxuriating with your money. These people at the Department of Education, just think for a moment. I'll play it for you again.
Just think for a moment. You want to get really angry. Think about all the scrimping and saving you've had to do, trying to make ends meet second job, worried about all the debt and everything else piling up on you. And then think about the people at the Department of Education hopping on a flight you paid for. Living it up at Caesar's Palace Vegas. Baby.
There was a four billion dollars covide fund in the Department of Education and there was no receipts required, so people be just drawed down on it.
And when people looked into it, this wasn't us, this was before us.
They found that money was being used to rent out Caesar's palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera.
Rent out Caesar's palace for parties, rent out stadiums. You know that thing. Big Wall Street firms, big law firms do Hey, let's let's rent out Yankee Stadium. Baby well own the whole thing. Let's get Hoodie and the Blowfish to play. Money's flowing woo. Yeah, those federal employees, they do that with your money, with your money. Now, we're gonna have a long talk about Doge in Congress and
these people in just the moment. Hang on. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday, and asked doctor Jesse Friday guy asked a question about Doge, and it was a timely question because there's so much that's been exposed today. Don't worry. Don't worry. We're gonna get to kind of the Congress negative portion of this in a little bit. But we're discussing these people that worm their way into governments, all governments. This happens at the
state level, happens at the city level. And what they do is they live at a higher standard of living than their salary should allow, and they live that way on your money. They get into these positions of power, sometimes elected, sometimes not, and they rent out Caesar's Palace and Yankee Stadium.
A four billion dollar COVID fund in the Department of Education, and there was no receipts required, so people we just drawed down on it. And when people looked into it, this wasn't just this before us, they found that money was being used to rent out of Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera.
And so the one change that do.
How does that work? How do how does something like that come in to be? Because we're going to go over a couple other things here. Well, it's quite simple actually, because a lot of this is going to come back to Congress. This is going to hurt, but it's quite simple. Eventually somebody Education Department, somebody, they will lobby Congress for something and they'll find a congressman. Hey, let's aoc Hey, this is Bob over here at the Education Department.
Man.
We're really we're really trying to get some things done over here, some really important things, some stuff that may affect your district. Actually, would you mind, I know there's a big I know there's a big budget coming up here. Would you mind putting this little rider in that budget? Just just one piece of paper? All this is it's a fund for us at the Education Apartment. So we have the funds we need and all that you would you mind don't forget about that big teacher's union donation.
Would you would you mind putting that in the bill. AOC looks it, says sure, sure, I'll put that in the bill. And of course this is twenty thirty years ago. Either some corrupt person or some idiot put it in a bill somewhere, and from there, if a slush fund was created, a slush fund of your money, a slush fund government employees have been luxuriating off of for years and years and years while you struggle to pay the bills. Let's do some more, shall we thank.
The Inter American Foundation if is one of the eighties we visited, where you know, they get fifty million dollars a year congressional money to give grants. These are things like you know, Apoka farming and them.
That's a real example, that's the real description. Improving the marketability of peas in Wattamala.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you might expect, you know, in the private sector and nonprofit to give.
You this is this this part is important. I know you're already angry fifty billion dollars for I'll pack of farming and studying of peace it's about to get more aggravating. But remember the story I just told you about how in Tucson, Arizona, there was this recession. All across America, wherever you were at the time, there was this recession, and I flew to d C. Yet everything seemed brand new.
Ninety percent of their money to grantees. In the case of IAF that was fifty eight percent. So the other half those towards management, oh, travel, What would.
You find exactly to mean too? An example is is that even if you're agreed.
With with supporting our pack up farmas in Peru, well, actually most of the money never made it out of DC.
It's going into the pockets people in the neighborhood.
When I lived when I lived in DC for a year, and when I was running for Congress, I swear on my life every single person I met was in some way in government. Money's orbit finding a way. Either they're actually working for the government, or they work for a company that works for the government, or for a company that works for another company that works for the government, or for a company who works for a company. Get you get the idea, either government or government adjacent this money.
It's all fraud. It's not waste. I hate when they use that. It's not waste. This is theft from the American taxpayer. It's all fraud. Why fifty million dollars for our pacas down? Where is it? Peru? Alpaca is in Peru, and of course about twenty five cents actually gets sent down to Peru, and that of course ends up in some brothers somebody's brother's cousins slush fund down there too. What happens to the rest of it, It gets allocated
to this government department, this government department. Well, first we have to study it first. We wouldn't just want to give money to any alpaca. Hey, my second cousin's brother, he's he's got a new firm and that's what he does. He studies alpaca farming. Hey, can we give him thirty million dollars for that study? Yep, sounds good. You get
how it works. Everything, everything in the largest criminal organization on the planet, that would be the United States government, everything is designed in some way to pull money from your wallet. I keep using the example of organized crime, and I use it because it is absolutely perfect when it comes to the United States federal government and how they steal from you in a million different ways. There
are people like these criminals, gangsters, mafia guys. Everything in their life, everything they look at, every thing they see, it all becomes a potential hustle. Can I get in on that? Can I figure out a way to skim off that? Can I figure out? Hey, this guy has a lot of mink coats? Could I figure out how to skim some of those mink coats? This guy has a movie theater. I bet I could go to his movie theater and charge him a dollar a receipt every
Friday night to protect it. Hey, this guy sells cigarettes. I bet I could get some of the Everything becomes a hustle, Everything becomes away. Hey, how do I get one over on these guys and get some of that money? That's how the criminal organization known as the United States Government operates in you or the Mark and so am I get my blood pressure up on Friday? Oh, it's about to get worse. There's more. We'll get to that more in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a fantastic Friday. I do not forget we are live here on a Friday night. You can email us Jesse at jesse kellyshow dot com. Back to this dose stuff, because this is gonna get to Congress and the bills and what's going through here. Here's some more of it.
Is the Small Business Administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of one hundred and twenty. The answer was yes, and it was around three hundred thirty million dollars.
In total, three hundred and thirty million dollars in loans to dead people. I want to once again completely stressed to you that that is not waste. Okay. I hate when Republicans talk like this. I hate when anyone on the right talks like this. Be more purposeful with your language. Stop saying waste, fraud and abuse. This is theft. You can call it fraud, you can call it abuse. Don't say waste. Waste makes it sound like, oh, you know what waste is. I'll tell you what waste is. The
other day I found nine dollars in my shorts. I put on some shorts. It was a weekend. Nine dollars was crumpled up in it. I had forgotten that I had nine dollars in my shorts. Bob had washed those shorts. God knows how many times I stuck my hand in there and found nine dollars. Now that's being wasteful, that's not appreciating the value of a dollar. I just let nine dollars go to waste. That's waste. Three hundred and thirty million dollars in small business loans to dead people
is theft. It's not waste, that's theft. Do you know what it takes to get a loan? Have you ever gotten a loan? I'm sure you have. Maybe it was a home loan, maybe it was a small business loan. Was that a quick process that you could just kind of fall into? Oh? Whoopsie, I applied for a small business loan today. Oh dang, I guess my finger slipped off the button and I clipped the wrong one and I applied for a small business loan. Was it quick? Did you find the process quick? You have to submit
yourself for a colonoscopy to get a loan anymore. Yet, three hundred and thirty million dollars of your money was sent out the door to small businesses that didn't exist. Somebody applied for those loans and received the money and spent it. Your money while you struggle, While you try to make ends me. I hope you're mad. I'm mad. I want the American people to start caring. And we're going to talk in a minute about what we need
to start caring about. We'll continue on. We'll let them finish a couple more of these, 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.
He's talking about the Institute for Peace. Just a heads up, what a name, right, the Institute for Peace. They just found a large, large quantity of weapons at a building the Institution Institute for Peace owned in Washington, DC. Look, if you could go look at pictures of the room. I saw pictures of the room. It's basically every guy's dream. There are allegations. I'm just going to leave it at that right now, there are allegations that was a Central
and Intelligence Agency room. So you know exactly what the deal is here, you understand how this works. Right in case you don't understand how this works, here's how this works. Secret spy agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency, they can't afford to have all the secret things they're doing as line items in the United States budget, so they find ways to lie and bury their things in the budgets of other departments. In fact, other departments, entire departments are
essentially Central Intelligence agency departments. But you don't want to say, hey, this money's for black market weapons purchases in Zimbabwe. So instead you have to create the Institute for Peace, give them a big, fat budget bank on the fact none of the losers in Congress will ever look into it, and you've got a gigantic cash of weapons sitting there for the CIA to screw up yet another government coup somewhere. That's how it works anyway, what they find.
There, but 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 one hundred and thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban.
Yeah, this is real.
We don't encounter that in most agencies.
What was the money going to the Taliban for?
So it was a contractor.
They received one hundred and thirty thousand dollars for generic services, And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear description of what the contractor services were for.
There wasn't a clear description because they were paying somebody the Central Intelligence Agency that was bag money. No, we'll never know what it was for. I don't want to sit and pretend what it was for. Who knows. Maybe he was an informant, Maybe they were paying him to kill somebody. Maybe that money was supposed to be passed on to someone else doing black bag CIA stuff. I get it. I don't actually need to know every single thing the spy world's doing, but that's what they're doing.
And that's also why the Institute for Peace was the most hostile agency. As he said, this is an agency run by spies, run on secrecy. Elon Musk and his team of super nerds show up to comb through the books. Central Intelligence Agency is probably not going to respond that nice to it. That's what's happening right now. And finally for the the for the grand finale, and we'll get off this doge stuff. Listen to this.
A lot of great work in the Treasury this week.
One of the crazy things that with regards to the Treasury is that when a payment is made and the computers at the Treasury actually pay about five trillion dollars per year, like crazy amounts. There was formerly not a budget code on there, so if a payment was made, you didn't know actually what it was for.
It could have been for.
Anything five trillion dollars and they didn't even have to mark what it was for. You know that. You know that I worked for Premier, right, this show was syndicated by Premier, the largest most wonderful syndicator in the world. But Premiere is underneath iHeart. You get that. So when I have to go somewhere for work, when I have to fly somewhere, hotel, food, whatever it is, I have
a credit card, I have an iHeart credit card. And when I get back, Chris has to submit all this stuff and he has to have receipts for everything, and everything has to have a category too, right Chris, everything has to happen. What category was this? Okay, you bought red lobster in Florida. I need to know who were you? This is for a two thousand dollars business trip to Florida. Submitting an expense report into iHeart requires receipts. What was
it for? Everything has to everything has to be marked. And don't think just because I'm me that I get away with it if it's not marked. Chris is shaking his head. Yeah, he gets it, because Chris has to do it. Nope, send it right back to him. No, you have to declare what this was. What's this for? That's for a two thousand dollars business trip to Florida?
The United States federal government, that criminal organization hands out five trillion dollars a year of your money without so much as a code for why it's going where it's going. This is not waste. These are crimes. Crimes have been committed against you years in years in years of our negligence and GOP complicity in weakness has brought us to the point we are now governed by a criminal organization. And that brings me back to your question, was it
feels like Doege has fizzled out. Well, it's not that they've fizzled out. As you can tell. They're digging into things like the Treasury, like the Pentagon, things like that. But there's a lot of misinformation, if I have to use the word they love, there's a lot of misinformation out there about DOGE itself, what it actually can do, what it can't do, what its value is and what its value isn't and another ask doctor Jesse, question is going to lead us to that which we will get
to in a moment. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday, churning through the ask doctor Jesse questions all the news of the day, making fun of check humor in a little while. But first we just did all the Doge stuff in the government waste and everything else. This guy asked the question because it's going to come back to the Doge stuff. Just stay with me, Jesse. The big beautiful bill. I've heard Congress has sent the bill to the Senate. The Senate back to Congress with
less cuts than I heard. The bill would be passed by the NIMA. Now I just heard John Thune said it before the July Jesse. If we don't pass the bill asap, will lose the House. Jesse, what's going on? Okay, So all the Doze stuff that made you angry, this will come back to Congress. Doze cannot cut things in any significance. That's what you want, and that's what I want to be honest with you. I want you, I want Elon and the super Nerds to not just identify
all this theft. I want them to stop it, eliminate it. No, no, no, stop, Okay, no more thirty million dollars for gay turtles. I want the same thing you want. But DOGE doesn't actually have the power to do that. Now. I'm not saying Doge is useless at all, because exposing problems is an incredibly important step in solving problems. That these things exist, that Doge exists. Hey, look at where this money's going. Is good. I'm not dogging on it at all. But don't think
that's how it works in the government. How you can just expose it and then well, okay, press a couple of buttons and not the money's coming back now the waste's done. But Nope, that's not how it works. The truth is that all this money that they're identifying, all this fraud, all this theft in the United States government that DOZE is identifying, all of it has been authorized by the United States Congress, by Republicans and Democrats inside
the United States Congress. So let's discuss how that happens, because it's going to bring us to where we are now. I touched on it a little bit earlier you know how that happens. You know how we end up with this separate department that doesn't even sound like it should be a thing. And you want to know how this separate department that shouldn't even be a thing gets three hundred million dollars a year of your money to hand
out today people, which is obviously theft. How does the hen of these things, these things come to be, Well, they don't just magically fall out of the sky. Congress authorizes them in big, beautiful bills. That's how they do it. No, no, no, no no. We can't do single issue bills. We can't do this one issue, we can't do that one issue. We can't have a bill that just deals with the border, or one that deals with taxes. Hey, let's do a big bill. Let's just do a big one, and he'll put it
all in there. The reason they expand the size of the bills is so they can throw more theft and fraud into the bill, Because inside every trillion dollar bill is billions and billions and billions of dollars of theft, authorizing Congress to steal your money and hand it to their friends and family members. That's how this stuff happens. Doge is discovering the things Congress has authorized, and Congress authorized all those things underneath a big beautiful bill. What's
happening right now in the House and Senate. I don't have any good news for you. It's all bad, every single bit of it. It's bad in the Senate, it's bad in the House. This gigantic bill is a colossal mistake. It's a disaster. It will fund, it will continue to fund every evil, criminal thing inside of the government. Now I understand completely why the Trump administration wants the bill. Trump wants what every president wants. He wants to do things,
and doing things ain't free. He wants to do things, and things cost money. And I want to make sure I am giving him all the credit in the world. The things he wants to do are awesome. He wants, you know, I want money to secure the border. I want money for new navy ships. I want money for He wants to do good things. And so because he wants to do good things, Trump is repeatedly asking for
a quote, big beautiful bill. The problem is the second you make it a big beautiful bill with all the things you want in it, they're going to throw the three four things you want in it at about three hundred things nobody wants in there, and that's how we continue to get screwed. You're thrilled that the Doge is exposing all this fraud inside of the government, and I'm thrilled that Doge is about to expose all the fraud inside of the government. But the here's the painful truth.
The bill that's about to go through Congress authorizes all of it. Again. Do you know that there is no such thing as a big bill that is beautiful? And if you really really want inflation to go down, if you really want to get the debt under control, if we want to continue the financial system we have always known, it involves changing out Congress, not the president. Once every four years. Every president, no matter how good they are, they're going to do the same thing Trump's doing. They
all do it. Reagan did it, Clinton did it, Obama did it, Trump did it, every single one of them. Does it give me a big bill with all the stuff I want in it?
Oh?
Sure, mister president. We'll get you some stuff you want with some stuff we want too. Happens every single time. If you want this game to stop, you and I will start getting a lot more focused on who we elect and don't elect to the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. There's no such thing as a big bill that is beautiful. It does not exist.
It cannot exist a criminal organization like the United States Congress, it's not possible for them to create a trillion dollar bill that is good. It's not possible. They can't do it. You might as well go give the American mafia fifty million dollars to build a school. Where do you think they're going to do with that? Oh, you might end up with some sort of a school. Maybe you can get a one room shack or something they built for
fifty grand. But that's what it's like. You give Congress a trillion dollars for anything, they're going to do exactly what the mafia would do with it. Anyway, I do hope you've went ahead and called gold Co because I'm telling you what's coming. There's going to be another big bill, and we're not going to get inflation under control, and there's going to be uncertainty
