00:00And, you know, it's a very sad situation.
00:02Yeah, please.
00:03The Press In a court filing, the White House
00:06said that Elon Musk is not a Doge employee and has
00:10no authority to make decisions.
00:12Can you clarify for us today what his exact role
00:16is there?
00:16The President Yeah.
00:17Yeah.
00:18Elon is, to me, a patriot.
00:20So, you know, you could call him an employee, you
00:22could call him a consultant, you could call
00:23him whatever you want.
00:25But he's a patriot.
00:26I mean, look at the kind of things.
00:27I just said, just write it down, just in case that
00:29question got asked.
00:30Right.
00:31And which I'm surprised it took so long, actually.
00:34But you know what?
00:36Ukraine is a bigger deal because people are dying
00:39by the thousands a week.
00:41Thousands.
00:42But look at this.
00:43From 90 to 99, Social Security, 6,054,000
00:48people.
00:50Well, that's okay.
00:51Maybe that's possible.
00:52You know, 90 to 90, 99.
00:55Maybe it's possible.
00:56That's a lot of people, though, with that.
00:59But people that live to 100 to 109, 4,734,000.
01:04Wow, that's a lot.
01:05That means over 100 years old, there are 4 million
01:07people.
01:08I don't know.
01:09I don't know too many.
01:09I know people that are doing great in their
01:1190s, but not too many people over 100.
01:13But over 120, from 120 years old, people that
01:20are 120 years old up to 129, 3,472,000 people.
01:25Wow.
01:28You know that can't possibly be because the
01:31record is like, I think it's one person, a woman
01:34lived to 127, but they have 3,472.
01:38Okay, but now we're going really in.
01:41People from 130 years old to 139 year old, 3,936,000.
01:49Wow.
01:50I wonder if people are getting paid with all
01:52this.
01:52I mean, are these checks?
01:53And that's what we're checking right now.
01:56People from 140 years old to 149 years old, 3,542,000.
02:04140 years old and beyond.
02:08Now, now we're really going because we're
02:10looking to break the record by 25 years.
02:13People from 150 years old to 159 years old, 1,345,000.
02:181,345,000.
02:22These are in the, by the way, these are in the
02:24computer files.
02:24These are, this is what they do well.
02:27They're super.
02:28I asked Elon, who are these Doge people?
02:31He said, they're super brilliant computer people
02:33and they love the country.
02:35It's simple.
02:36Wait a minute.
02:37People from 160 years old to 169 years, 121,000.
02:42So 160 year old people, 170 to 179,000.
02:476,087.
02:50But now let's go into the real numbers.
02:55From 200 to 209 years old, 879 people.
03:01From 210 years old, I haven't met any of them.
03:05And if I did, I would bless them.
03:08I would, I would worship the ground they walk on.
03:12210 to 219 years old, 866.
03:17From 220 years old to 229 years old, 1,039.
03:24And then you have two people.
03:26From 240 years old to 249 years old, one person.
03:32And there's one person that's 360 years old.
03:38That's just that.
03:39And then where's the money being spent, right?
03:43Let's go into that for just a second.
03:46$520 million for a consultant on the environment.
03:54It's called Environmental, Social, and Governance.
03:58Investments in Africa and mobilized private sector
04:02resources, $520 million.
04:06Somebody got $520 million for an environmental —
04:10sounds like an environmental study.
04:11That's the most — I've always been one that paid
04:14a lot of money for my environmental studies,
04:16but they — you know, I'd pay like $50,000,
04:19not $520 million.
04:21$520 million for ESG.
04:27$25 million to promote biodiversity,
04:30conservation, and promote licit livelihoods
04:34by developing socially responsible behavior
04:36in the country of Colombia.
04:39Well, it's nice — $25 million to go into Colombia
04:42for something that nobody ever heard of.
04:45$40 million to improve the social and economic
04:48inclusion of sedentary migrants — $40 million.
04:55$42 million for Johns Hopkins — great place to research
04:59and drive social and behavior change in Uganda — $42 million.
05:03What about us?
05:04What about social change in our country?
05:07$70 million for a center at Purdue
05:11to research university-sourced,
05:13evidence-based solutions to developmental challenges.
05:17I mean, these are massive numbers on things
05:19that nobody ever heard about.
05:21$10 million for Mozambique
05:23Voluntary Medical Male Circumcisions —
05:28$10 million for circumcisions in another country.
05:31$9.7 million for UC Berkeley to develop a cohort
05:37of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills.
05:40In other words, let's teach them something about enterprise.
05:43What about our people?
05:45Can't we teach them about enterprise?
05:46$2.3 million for strengthening independent voices in Cambodia.
05:51$32 million to the Prague Civil Society Center,
05:56which is a very liberal group of people.
05:58I wonder how much of that money
05:59came back to the people that approved it.
06:02$14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.
06:06$486 million to the Consortium for Elections
06:12and Political Process Strengthening,
06:14including $22 million for inclusive
06:16and participatory political process in Moldova.
06:22And $21 million for voter turnout in India.
06:26Well, why are we giving $21 million to India?
06:28They got a lot of money.
06:29They're one of the highest-taxing countries
06:31in the world in terms of us.
06:33We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high.
06:36I have a lot of respect for India.
06:38I have a lot of respect for the Prime Minister.
06:39He just left, as you know, two days ago.
06:41But we're giving $21 million for voter turnout.
06:45It's voter turnout in India.
06:48What about, like, voter turnout here?
06:50Oh, we've done that, I guess.
06:51We did $500 million, didn't we?
06:52It's called the lockboxes.
06:55$20 million for fiscal federalism in Nepal.
07:00Listen to these numbers. These are — this is all fraud.
07:03$19 million for biodiversity conservation in Nepal.
07:09$1.5 million for voter confidence.
07:12We want to give them confidence in Liberia.
07:15$14 million for social cohesion in Mali.
07:20$2.5 million for inclusive democracies in South Africa.
07:25$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
07:31Asia is doing very well.
07:33They're doing a lot better than we do in the schools,
07:35aren't they? $2 million to develop sustainable
07:37recycling models to increase socioeconomic cohesion
07:41among marginalized communities in Kosovo and Ashkali.
07:48And in Egypt, we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars.
07:53I could — by the way, I could read this all day long.
07:57I could go on all day long,
07:59and you'll see hundreds of billions of dollars.
08:02And we're doing it.
08:04But when I saw the Social Security numbers,
08:07I said, wow, that's really something.
08:10So we have — let's just go above 100 years old.
08:13We have millions and millions of people over 100 years old.
08:17Everybody knows that's not so.
08:20We have a very corrupt country. A very corrupt country.
08:23And it's a sad thing to say, but we're figuring it out.
08:27Now, the good thing about Social Security,
08:29and what I read, is if you take all of those numbers off —
08:34because they're obviously fraudulent or incompetent —
08:38but if you take all of those millions of people
08:40off Social Security, all of a sudden,
08:42we have a very powerful Social Security
08:45with people that are 80 and 70 and 90, but not 200 years old.
08:52You know, so it's a very positive thing.
08:53How about over here? Yeah, please.
