Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give me a bullet point list the five things he
did last week. That way we can see who's important
and who's not. And if you don't respond to this email,
then you're fired the lack of a better term, back
to Donald Trump's Prentice days. Well, the phone lines are
open if you got an idea of what you would
say or you did say, if you were one of
those people that received such an email. If you don't
want to call in, talk about how you feel about
(00:21):
the whole thing. Pretty easy. Four oh two, five to
five aight eleven ten is the number. Four oh two
five five eight to eleven ten. Bill is on the line.
Welcome in, Bill. What do you think about all this?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey, I'll want some of those sunglasses anyway, that I
did not get a letter, you know, I military retired,
but that it's what it is is to prevent fraud.
And that mail guy that he did it the right way.
That's all they want. He just said five to eights,
five bullet points. He fold them up that way. It
shows he's legally employed. He's not a phony name or
(00:56):
a dead person that's getting a check. That's all they
want to do is stop.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Then just do it.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Five things if you had to do something for your boss,
so the paper tray for the printer, go get some pencil,
just put something out there that where you replied that
you did. That's all it is. It's not rocket scientists,
you know, Emory.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean that makes it makes sense, especially considering how
much we need to clean up just an information bill.
I appreciate the call man. Thanks for listening to the shark.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Tacks payer money. We needn't know where it's going.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, no one, it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thanks, have a good day.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Bye, Yeah you too. Yeah, that makes sense. I still,
I mean, just this is just me. I I would
like I would make stuff up that, you know, was
really important. I'd kind of reiterate things that I was
thinking about or I was doing to make myself seem
important if I wanted to keep my job. But he's
probably onto something that maybe this is really just like
one of those tests, Matt. Have you done one of
(01:53):
those recently where you were trying to log in or
or do something? You know?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, uh never. But it just as we talk to
more people, and by the way, you can talk four
h two five five eight eleven ten four A two
five five eight eleven ten. But yeah, I mean, just
like the idea of having a list of things that
really do matter, but at the same time, there is
a really good chance that there it could be a
(02:22):
you know, a conversation or where maybe we just have
a bunch of people that are on the payroll that
really aren't even like connected to the email anymore, or
maybe we do have some people that are no longer employed,
are no longer living, that somehow are still in our
workforce numbers that we would like to trim out, not
that they're receiving paychecks, because that is I think something
that we got a little bit confused in the hay
(02:43):
wire there with the Social Security numbers. You know, we
were talking about there's a million plus people over the
age of one hundred and forty years old that are
in the database as like an unclosed account essentially in
the Social Security database. That that doesn't mean those people are
receiving or those accounts are receiving any dollars. So yeah,
(03:05):
it looks ridiculous, and yeah, I think we do need
to clean that up. And if we know that people
are no longer alive, then yeah, we shouldn't have them
in the database. For some reason. But for whatever it's worth, right,
that doesn't necessarily mean that actual money is going to them,
and that creates just a little bit of a conversation
piece on that as well. I did see this. I
(03:26):
don't know where this poll came from, but America, which
again on X, there is just a sense of this
is a pack. It's a pack founded by Musk himself,
and they are sharing all sorts of things. And I
don't know necessarily all the context on X, but I
do find some of the stuff that's being shared interesting,
even if you kind of have to take it with
(03:48):
the grain of salt, because it is coming from that perspective.
It is going to make everything that Elon is doing
and everything that Trump is doing look good. But the
America X account earlier today shared a new poll that
said dog is one of the most popular parts of
President Trump's agenda. That's what they said, and the number
(04:09):
one thing was deporting immigrants are here illegally and have
committed crimes eighty one percent support. But then number two
undertaking a full scale effort to find and eliminate fraud
and waste in government expenditures. It says seventy six percent
of people support that. I think it's a lowed minority
potentially that says, hey, you know, I don't like how
this is going. And it's probably people on the far
(04:30):
left that are saying, I'm going to oppose everything that
this guy does. But you know, it doesn't necessarily mean that,
you know, what's being done isn't productive. In some way,
we do think that we have too many things that
aren't accounted for are being explained to us, where our
taxpayer dollars are funding it, and we continuously are going
into debt. Still, how's this a thing? Phone lines are
(04:51):
open four h two, five, five, eight, eleven ten. Wes
is on the line, Wes, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I was a salesman on the road for forty three years,
work for three different companies. This is nothing new. You
had to have by januaries and Monday morning by noon,
and you had to have your call reports done by
Friday afternoon by five telling you what you did for
the whole week. Every every call, you had to put
down what you did, what's you accomplished, what you sold,
what you talked about. This was nothing new.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, it's just a federal government. So that's it. I mean,
it's just like I do that too. I mean, like
there there are times most weeks where you know, I'm
either having a meeting face to face with somebody or
I'm sending an email or a note that is talking
about you know this, this exact thing. I mean, it's
a good point, Wes. It's just the federal government. It's
a bit behind and catching up with the rest of
(05:35):
society trying to hold people who are actually working for
them accountable for doing.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Stuff that's right.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
They're way behind the times. The should have done it
years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Thanks Wes for the call.
Appreciate you listening.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Another bill is on a phone line four h two,
five five, eight eleven ten. What's Up? Bill?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Bill twenty pure federal worker kind of well west just
but also not twenty six year federal worker filled out
weekly Act week for twenty six years. Very common in
the federal workforce. For the day I called the repetive
(06:13):
programs last month. New been around it. It's probably longer also,
none new. It was around before President Trump two thousand
and six. Secure Fence over eighty some three vote. It
passed through the House and the Senate and I don't
understand why that keeps getting forgotten. Yeah, no, but a
(06:36):
lot of what you're seable with the uh maybe complete
rein free approach.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Mister.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Right Bill, Bill, Bill, I'm losing you. I like your
phone is breaking up on me a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I appreciate the call, and I'm hearing what you're saying.
Let's put you know, let's kind of put a pin
in that, see if we can get Bill in a
better spot so he doesn't cut in and out. But
it sounds like what he's mostly saying is this. Actually
there was something like this, And I would be fascinated
to know exactly why Elon and Trump in this particular
(07:11):
government feel like they need to reiterate this on such
a public level because obviously they feel like there are
people out there that are not have not been reporting
what they have been doing, or they have been combative
with what Dog has been on. You know what Doge
has been up to. Steve's on the phone line four two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. Welcome in, Steve, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, Hey, I was just a I'm a d D
employee and I just wanted to say that the letter
did not say anything about if you don't return this
or reply to this, that your terminated. Done say anything
about that?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, did you receive you received that?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I did. I did receive it, and since I'm a
d D, they told us, you know, not to reply
to it. But I don't have an issue with it.
That's you know, there's a lot of people out there
that don't do their jobs, but in what I do
and what we do in our department, we have to
report something every week or a daily report every day,
so I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, and see if I guess, we'll
just have to wait and see exactly what that means,
because I don't think Trump is on the same page,
because I do have audio here and I may play
that a little bit later of him saying if you
don't respond, then you're fired. But obviously there are departments,
multiple departments that I've read that their workers have been
instructed not to reply to it. So you know, it's
(08:30):
very interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And it doesn't say that you'll be terminated if you
don't reply. It's not even part of the email.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So interesting. Thank hey, Steve, thanks for the insight on that.
Really appreciate that all right, It is three forty seven.
When we come back, we'll take more calls four h two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What do you think of what Doge is doing?
What do you think about these emails? It's a hot
button topic and an issue. We appreciate you for taking
part in the conversation right here on news radio eleven
ten kfab Emory's owner at Feeling It Now, mister drad
(09:00):
on news Radio eleven ten kfab Max, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah? I think what Elon's doing here is super because
I was in sales for fifty years, kind of like
the guy you talked to previously, and I'd make about
fifteen twenty calls a day, So I had fifteen twenty
things I did for the day, and I did that
in a report and I gave it to my boss
(09:26):
and at the end of the week. And I did
this for thirty five years on the report. But I
always made a report for myself, but I always did
that for my boss, and that's nothing unusual. I make
the government, being a government job like that, they need
to be accounted for and that's my that was my deal.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, no, no doubt, Max. And I appreciate you calling
in today. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, man, have a
good day. I don't necessarily think that I don't need
need like a spreadsheet of this, But much like the
election funding records, right, Like when you see that, there
are pages you can go online you can see whom
(10:09):
has donated what moneies to campaigns, right, and then campaigns
have to be very open and honest about how they're
spending that type of money. That's how we avoid kind
of election fraud as far as finances are concerned, financial
fraud through elections. I don't need to see it that.
(10:29):
I guess that hardcore, but it would be nice to know,
like if there was some sort of pie chart of
where our tax dollars are going and how many people
are in the federal government's workforce at any one time
in each of these departments. It'd be nice to have
that just kind of in a tidy website.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
If that's one thing that DOSEE could do is just
make it to where the taxpayers can see where the
money is and where it's going, and then we can
really have good conversations about what we would like to
see the money spent on. And I know it's going
to be a laundry list, and there's going to be
hundreds of things that we have to worry about. But
you know, it's just an idea of you know, knowing
about that because, like Max said, you know, it would
(11:08):
be nice to hold people accountable for having that ability.
George's on a phone line four two five five eight Elevnton.
What's up, George, Hey brother, We've got a bigger problem.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Everybody's talking about it. You know, this is Congress's oversight
to take their money back.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Must got nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Here is the problem.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Starting in the forties, Congress seeded their power to departments.
Departments now spend money on whatever they want to. They
come to Congress say I need one point nine billion
dollars with no breakdown of what they're going to spend
the money on. Congress gives it to them. Then they
spend it on anything they want. And they also ceded
their power of making laws. These departments now just make directives,
(11:48):
and all of a sudden, the EPA directive is now
a law. Congress didn't pass that law. It's a directive,
just like the way they're spending their money. Congress gave
this department, you know, one hundred billion dollars. Well, it's
paying for it is end or sex changes in Bolivia.
Thomas didn't approve that. The department approved it. Either Thomas
takes their power back or shut up and get out
of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. That's a good point too. And that's some of
the stuff that we've been hearing about. What where where
is the disconnect there? Well, it's just because people aren't
saying what they want the money for. I think, good call, George,
thanks for calling in. Let's go to Mark real quick
before we hit the top of the hour mark. I
got just about a minute. Yeah, I'm great, man. What's up? Yeah,
(12:28):
go ahead, buddy, George. George, Hey, Mark, turn your turn
your radio down. Mark, Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What I wanted to say was the biggest thing is
people aren't realizing that the only people that really have
a problem with this are the people that are scamming
the system or the people that are benefiting from all
the things that are going on.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, especially that last part, I think.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, I mean los callers are saying, I got no
problem with it. I had to do this every day
in my life for however many years, and I had
to do the same thing. The only people that seem
to be complaining about it are the people that are
benefiting from it. That's that's basically all I really had
to say.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, it's a good point there, Mark, I appreciate the
call today. Thanks for listening to us. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's a good point. And I hate just being
this guy that's like, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,
that's a good point. It is, you know why, because
everybody has a different perspective on this. And Mark's last
the thing there where he's talking about the oversight essentially
(13:35):
of hey, you're who would be the ones that are
speaking the loudest out about this, especially if I have
a poll here, and again it's not cited, so I
don't know what poll this came from, but the America
x account, which is a pack which was founded by
Elon Musk, so it's called America. But I mean, let's
(13:57):
let's understand exactly what it is. And certainly everything that
it puts out is going to be in support of
what Elon is doing and what Trump is doing, because
that's just how this stuff works. But to see that,
you know, seventy six percent allegedly are in support of
what Doge is doing, and only twenty four percent are not.
It makes me feel like it's a very loud minority
(14:17):
of people, and it's the people who are directly affected
or the people who just want to combat anything that
Trump does in any of his you know, people working
underneath him and what they're trying to do because they
want everything to seem like it's really really bad. And
that's just generally what goes on, even if on a
day to day basis, you're not going to notice much
of a difference in a lot of this stuff. And
(14:38):
that's not to say that these people who have jobs
aren't important, but they also have You know, taxpayers are
paying your salary. Taxpayers are paying you to exist. At
some point, we need to know exactly what you're up
to and if we can do without your job in
this situation, I think it's probably best for us not
to do that. We'll have more on the way stick around.
Thanks for listening. You're listening to news radio eleven ten
(14:59):
KF they b
Give me a bullet point list the five things he
did last week. That way we can see who's important
and who's not. And if you don't respond to this email,
then you're fired the lack of a better term, back
to Donald Trump's Prentice days. Well, the phone lines are
open if you got an idea of what you would
say or you did say, if you were one of
those people that received such an email. If you don't
want to call in, talk about how you feel about
(00:21):
the whole thing. Pretty easy. Four oh two, five to
five aight eleven ten is the number. Four oh two
five five eight to eleven ten. Bill is on the line.

So interesting. Thank hey, Steve, thanks for the insight on that.
Really appreciate that all right, It is three forty seven.
When we come back, we'll take more calls four h two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What do you think of what Doge is doing?
What do you think about these emails? It's a hot
button topic and an issue. We appreciate you for taking
part in the conversation right here on news radio eleven
ten kfab Emory's owner at Feeling It Now, mister drad
(09:00):
on news Radio eleven ten kfab Max, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah? I think what Elon's doing here is super because
I was in sales for fifty years, kind of like
the guy you talked to previously, and I'd make about
fifteen twenty calls a day, So I had fifteen twenty
things I did for the day, and I did that
in a report and I gave it to my boss
(09:26):
and at the end of the week. And I did
this for thirty five years on the report. But I
always made a report for myself, but I always did
that for my boss, and that's nothing unusual. I make
the government, being a government job like that, they need
to be accounted for and that's my that was my deal.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, no, no doubt, Max. And I appreciate you calling
in today. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, man, have a
good day. I don't necessarily think that I don't need
need like a spreadsheet of this, But much like the
election funding records, right, Like when you see that, there
are pages you can go online you can see whom
(10:09):
has donated what moneies to campaigns, right, and then campaigns
have to be very open and honest about how they're
spending that type of money. That's how we avoid kind
of election fraud as far as finances are concerned, financial
fraud through elections. I don't need to see it that.
(10:29):
I guess that hardcore, but it would be nice to know,
like if there was some sort of pie chart of
where our tax dollars are going and how many people
are in the federal government's workforce at any one time
in each of these departments. It'd be nice to have
that just kind of in a tidy website.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
If that's one thing that DOSEE could do is just
make it to where the taxpayers can see where the
money is and where it's going, and then we can
really have good conversations about what we would like to
see the money spent on. And I know it's going
to be a laundry list, and there's going to be
hundreds of things that we have to worry about. But
you know, it's just an idea of you know, knowing
about that because, like Max said, you know, it would
(11:08):
be nice to hold people accountable for having that ability.
George's on a phone line four two five five eight Elevnton.
What's up, George, Hey brother, We've got a bigger problem.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Everybody's talking about it. You know, this is Congress's oversight
to take their money back.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Must got nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Here is the problem.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Starting in the forties, Congress seeded their power to departments.
Departments now spend money on whatever they want to. They
come to Congress say I need one point nine billion
dollars with no breakdown of what they're going to spend
the money on. Congress gives it to them. Then they
spend it on anything they want. And they also ceded
their power of making laws. These departments now just make directives,
(11:48):
and all of a sudden, the EPA directive is now
a law. Congress didn't pass that law. It's a directive,
just like the way they're spending their money. Congress gave
this department, you know, one hundred billion dollars. Well, it's
paying for it is end or sex changes in Bolivia.
Thomas didn't approve that. The department approved it. Either Thomas
takes their power back or shut up and get out
of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. That's a good point too. And that's some of
the stuff that we've been hearing about. What where where
is the disconnect there? Well, it's just because people aren't
saying what they want the money for. I think, good call, George,
thanks for calling in. Let's go to Mark real quick
before we hit the top of the hour mark. I
got just about a minute. Yeah, I'm great, man. What's up? Yeah,
(12:28):
go ahead, buddy, George. George, Hey, Mark, turn your turn
your radio down. Mark, Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What I wanted to say was the biggest thing is
people aren't realizing that the only people that really have
a problem with this are the people that are scamming
the system or the people that are benefiting from all
the things that are going on.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, especially that last part, I think.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, I mean los callers are saying, I got no
problem with it. I had to do this every day
in my life for however many years, and I had
to do the same thing. The only people that seem
to be complaining about it are the people that are
benefiting from it. That's that's basically all I really had
to say.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, it's a good point there, Mark, I appreciate the
call today. Thanks for listening to us. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's a good point. And I hate just being
this guy that's like, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,
that's a good point. It is, you know why, because
everybody has a different perspective on this. And Mark's last
the thing there where he's talking about the oversight essentially
(13:35):
of hey, you're who would be the ones that are
speaking the loudest out about this, especially if I have
a poll here, and again it's not cited, so I
don't know what poll this came from, but the America
x account, which is a pack which was founded by
Elon Musk, so it's called America. But I mean, let's
(13:57):
let's understand exactly what it is. And certainly everything that
it puts out is going to be in support of
what Elon is doing and what Trump is doing, because
that's just how this stuff works. But to see that,
you know, seventy six percent allegedly are in support of
what Doge is doing, and only twenty four percent are not.
It makes me feel like it's a very loud minority
(14:17):
of people, and it's the people who are directly affected
or the people who just want to combat anything that
Trump does in any of his you know, people working
underneath him and what they're trying to do because they
want everything to seem like it's really really bad. And
that's just generally what goes on, even if on a
day to day basis, you're not going to notice much
of a difference in a lot of this stuff. And
(14:38):
that's not to say that these people who have jobs
aren't important, but they also have You know, taxpayers are
paying your salary. Taxpayers are paying you to exist. At
some point, we need to know exactly what you're up
to and if we can do without your job in
this situation, I think it's probably best for us not
to do that. We'll have more on the way stick around.
Thanks for listening. You're listening to news radio eleven ten
