Speaker 1 (00:00):
We saw a lot of payments going out of Treasury
that had no payment code and no explanation for the payment. Okay,
that contract was supposed to be shut off, but someone
forgot to shuttle that contract and so the company kept
getting money. Now is that waste of word?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Both?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, you are listening to a forty seven Morning Update
exclusive with Ben Ferguson good Monday morning. It is the
forty seven Morning Update. Ben Ferguson with you, and this
is going to be a special episode of the forty
seven Morning Update. As on Friday, Senator Cruz and I
were invited to come to the White House to sit
down in a lengthy conversation with Elon Musk. Now, Elon
(00:40):
Musk going to expose government fraud, waste, and abuse, and
that's exactly what he's been doing. But he shared some
new information with us that is truly incredible about what
he has found recently within DOGE and government departments that
are abusing your tax dollars. Now, I am going to
play for you a part of that interview right now
(01:03):
on the forty seven Morning Update. If you want to
hear the entire interview, you need to go and subscribe
for free. Obviously and download Verdict with Teg Cruise. I
co host that podcast with Center Cruse, and you can
hear part one in its entirety. But here is the
beginning of that conversation for you right here, and again,
(01:24):
do not forget if you want to hear the entire
two part series. It is with Verdict with Teg Cruse
wherever you get your podcasts. So here is our conversation
with Elon Musk.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
What's surprised about the federal government? I assume you came
in and assumed it was bad. Is it worse than
you expected?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It is worse than I expected, But on the plus side,
that means there's.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
More opportunity for improvement.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So look, if you look on the right side, there's
actually a lot of opportunity for improvement in federal goverman
expenditures because it's so bad.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
If I it was a well run ship, it would
be very caul to improve.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
A lot of the crazy expenditures, things like like two
million bucks for sex change surgeries in Guatemala, an essential
you know, transgendered mice and sesame street in Iraq. A
lot of that has gotten attention. But some of the
stuff you've told me about like tell us about computer
licenses and government agencies.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, so most of what dog just finding, you don't
need to be shock comes. Okay, it's very obvious basic stuff.
So in every goblet depopment, I say every because we've
not yet found a single exception. There are far too
many software licenses and media subscriptions, meaning many more software
licenses and media subscriptions than there are humans in the department.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Like you were saying, like an agency with fifteen thousand
people might have thirty thousand licenses. Yes, and even of
the fifteen thousand employees, a good chunk of them hadn't
used the license, had never logged on or used the application.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is it incompetence you're finding or is this like the
biggest money wandering scheme in the history of the world
that you're finding?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, I think it's mostly If you say, look, what's
the waste to fraud ratio, Yeah, in my opinion, it's
it's like eighty percent wist twenty percent fraud. But but
you do have these sort of gray areas. For example, example,
be so uh, we saw a lot of payments going
out of treasury that had no payment code and no
(03:28):
explanation for the payment, and then we're we're we're we're
trying to figure out what that payment is and we'd
see that, Okay, that contract was supposed to be shut off,
but but someone forgot to shut off that that contract
and so the company kept getting money.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Wow. Now is that waste or fraud?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Both both?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, you're not supposed to get you're not supposed to
get it, but you but the government sent it to you,
and nobody from the government asked for it back.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh, take for example, the one the one point nine
billion dollars given to Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, fake NGO, utter insanity.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Explain that story.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
That's that's that's just corrupt. I think that's paying off
cronies at that point.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And by the way, she knew, like when you get
two billion dollars, you don't miss that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That's not on accident.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's allegedly it was for like, uh, you know, environmentally
friendly appliances or something. And they've given like like a
hundred appliances so far for two billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
It's very expensive.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Toast roll that's fridge. It's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Is this is obviously one of the biggest scam portholes.
We've uncovered which is really crazy, is uh is that
is that the government can give money to a so
called nonprofit with with very few controls and then that
and there's there's no auditing subsequently of that nonprofit, so
there's no So this is where with the you know,
(04:58):
one point nine billion of Stacy Abrams, who's who's that
they didn't give themselves extremely lavished like insane salaries, expense
everything yep, to the to the nonprofit, you know, buy
jets and homes and all sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Live like kings and queens. Yes on the taxpayer done.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
This is happening at scale. It's not just one or two.
We're seeing this everywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Now. One of the things you told me about is
it's great to do is what you call say.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Magic money computers. Well, so tell us about it, because
I've never heard of that until you brought that up.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, So you may think that these the government computers
like all talk to each other, they synchronize, they add
up what funds are going somewhere, and it's you know,
it's coherent that that that the you know, there's that
and that the numbers for example that you're presented as
a senator.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, are actually the real.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Numbers, and one would think one would think they're not.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Mean they're not totally wrong, but they're probably off by
five percent or ten percent in some cases. So I
call a magic money computer any computer which can just
make money out of thin air.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Best magic money.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So how does that work?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
It just issues payments?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
And you said something like eleven of these computers a
treasury that are that are sending out trillions in payments.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They're mostly a treasury, Some are with the sum at HHS,
some at there's one wanted to as states, there's some
at DD. I think we found now fourteen magic money computers. Gene, Okay,
they just send money out of nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Why do they hate you so much?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, because we're we're clearly over the target if those
was ineffective, if we were not actually getting rid of
a bunch of wastes and forward and a bunch of
that fraud. I mean, the forward reason we're seeing is
overwhelmingly on the on the left. I mean, there's it's
not zero on the right, but these NGOs are almost
(06:57):
all left wing NGOs that are being funded for example, yep.
So they hate me because Dog is being effective and
Dog is getting rid of a lot of waste. Before that,
they were the people and left were taking advantage of that.
That's that's that's where it comes out to you. And
and the single biggest thing that they're that they're worried
(07:18):
about is that Dog is going to turn off fraudulent
payments of entitlements. I mean everything from Social Security, medicare, uh,
you know, unemployment, disability, smallpers administ registration loans, turn them
off to illegals. This is not CrOx of the matter.
(07:39):
Ye okay, this is this is the This is the
thing that why they really hit my guts, want me
to die.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And do you think that's billions? Hundreds of billions? What
do you think the scale is of that?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think across the country it's it's in the it's
well north of one hundred billion, maybe two hundred million.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
By by using entitlements fraud, the Democrats have been able
to attract and retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants and
buy voters, and buy voters exactly the It basically bring
in ten twenty million people who are beholden to the
(08:19):
Democrats for government handouts and will vote overwhelming the Democrat
as has been demonstrated in California. This is it's an
election strategy. Yes, it's powered, yes, and it doesn't take
much to turn the swing states blue, I mean off
in a swing state yon't be won by ten twenty
thousand votes. Sure, so if the DAMS can bring in
two hundred thousand illegals and over time get them legalized,
(08:43):
not counting any cheating that takes place, because there is
some cheating, but even without cheating, if you bake, if
you if you bring in illegals that are ten x
the voted differential in a swing state, it will no
longer be a swing state, right, and the DAMS will
win all the swing states just a matter of time,
and America will be permanent deep blue socialist state. At
(09:06):
the House, the Senate, YEP, the Presidency, and the Supreme
Court will all go hardcore down. They will then further
cement that by bringing even more aliens so you can't
vote your.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Way out of it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Their obemin is to make one party socialist state, and
it will be much worse than California, because at least
California is mitigated by the fact that someone can.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Leave California, you can go to Texas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, exactly, So you're going to make everywhere California.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But worse, my kids now, all three of my boys
think that that Tesla's are awesome. The cyber truck is
the car they want their dad to buy, which I
laugh because I never could have imagined that five years ago,
and now I'm looking at We're.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Worth the White House in the President's Tesla's part.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean, which is the fullest dand but I
mean you've changed a generation when you look at my
kids are six and eight and they're going dad buy
a cyber truck and I'm considering it. That's a that's
a full circle in a weird way.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, I do have the story that the most errantating
outcome is the most likely, So yeah, it seems often
to be true. If you're like, what what twist or.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Turn of fate?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well, I would the highest ratings if this was if
we're a TV show, what twistal turn of fate would
generate the highest ratings that there's a good chance that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, I will say if if act Blue and Arabella
Network Blue.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Is a huge scam. Next level, do you.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Think it's foreign money, Chinese money. Where do you think
the money in Act Blue is coming from? How do
you figure that out?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, it's not coming from the from a whole bunch
of from a ground swell of public support, because when
individual donors looked at and Act Blue, they a bunch
of them turn out to be like diehard Republicans, right,
people have never given money in their life. So you're
going to track down a bunch of these people where
it says, oh, I gave sixteen thousand dollars and they're like,
I didn't give sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
We're talking about this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, if those spoken friends of mine, if I found
themselves on the Act Blue list, they like So.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's if it can actually be shown that they are
funding firebombing of Tesla charging stations, that's objectively a criminal act.
That that is funding terrorist activity. And the statutes make
clear that an incendiary device qualifies.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So that sus down is a terrorist activity.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, let me ask Ai.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
In ten years, how is life going to be different
because of AI for just a normal person.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, ten years is a long time. In ten years,
probably AI could do anything better than a human can cognitively.
Probably almost. I think in ten years, based on the
curt rate of improvement, AI will be smarter than the
smartest human.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, there will also be a massive number of robots,
so humanoid robots.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
By the way, I got to ask, how come your
robots look so much like the creepy robots for my robot?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Was that intentional or just?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I was hoping he's gonna say, yeah, just a mess
with you.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's not meant to look like any any prior robot.
And we'll iterate the design and you'll be able to
have a lot of the.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Robot parts are cosmetic.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You'll be able to switch out the kind of snap
on cosmetic parts of the robot make it look like
something else if you're lying. So there'll be ultimately billions
of humanoid robots all cause will be self driving.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
In ten years.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
In ten years, probably.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ninety percent of miles driven will be autonomous.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Huh wow that fast.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
In five years, probably fifty percent of miles driven will
be autonomous.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Now, if AI will be smarter than any person, how
many jobs go away because of that? And what do
people do if you've got billions of people that are
losing their jobs like that? A lot of people are
understandably freaked out about that.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, goods, goods and services will become it's close to free.
So it's not as though people will be wanting in
terms of goods and services.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So why is that?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
What?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Why are goods and services free in an AI world
or close to free?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, you have I don't know, call it tens of
billions of robots that they will they will make you
anything or provide any service you want for basically next
to nothing. It's it's not that people will be will
have a lower stand of living. They will have actually
much higher standard of living. But the challenge will be fulfillment.
(13:57):
How do you drive fulfillment and meeting in life?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Now, if you'd like to hear the rest of the conversation,
make sure you download Verdict with Ted Cruz right now

Oh, take for example, the one the one point nine

And do you think that's billions? Hundreds of billions? What
do you think the scale is of that?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think across the country it's it's in the it's
well north of one hundred billion, maybe two hundred million.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
By by using entitlements fraud, the Democrats have been able
to attract and retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants and
buy voters, and buy voters exactly the It basically bring
in ten twenty million people who are beholden to the
(08:19):
Democrats for government handouts and will vote overwhelming the Democrat
as has been demonstrated in California. This is it's an
election strategy. Yes, it's powered, yes, and it doesn't take
much to turn the swing states blue, I mean off
in a swing state yon't be won by ten twenty
thousand votes. Sure, so if the DAMS can bring in
two hundred thousand illegals and over time get them legalized,
(08:43):
not counting any cheating that takes place, because there is
some cheating, but even without cheating, if you bake, if
you if you bring in illegals that are ten x
the voted differential in a swing state, it will no
longer be a swing state, right, and the DAMS will
win all the swing states just a matter of time,
and America will be permanent deep blue socialist state. At
(09:06):
the House, the Senate, YEP, the Presidency, and the Supreme
Court will all go hardcore down. They will then further
cement that by bringing even more aliens so you can't
vote your.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Way out of it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Their obemin is to make one party socialist state, and
it will be much worse than California, because at least
California is mitigated by the fact that someone can.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Leave California, you can go to Texas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, exactly, So you're going to make everywhere California.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But worse, my kids now, all three of my boys
think that that Tesla's are awesome. The cyber truck is
the car they want their dad to buy, which I
laugh because I never could have imagined that five years ago,
and now I'm looking at We're.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Worth the White House in the President's Tesla's part.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean, which is the fullest dand but I
mean you've changed a generation when you look at my
kids are six and eight and they're going dad buy
a cyber truck and I'm considering it. That's a that's
a full circle in a weird way.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, I do have the story that the most errantating
outcome is the most likely, So yeah, it seems often
to be true. If you're like, what what twist or.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Turn of fate?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well, I would the highest ratings if this was if
we're a TV show, what twistal turn of fate would
generate the highest ratings that there's a good chance that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, I will say if if act Blue and Arabella
Network Blue.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Is a huge scam. Next level, do you.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Think it's foreign money, Chinese money. Where do you think
the money in Act Blue is coming from? How do
you figure that out?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, it's not coming from the from a whole bunch
of from a ground swell of public support, because when
individual donors looked at and Act Blue, they a bunch
of them turn out to be like diehard Republicans, right,
people have never given money in their life. So you're
going to track down a bunch of these people where
it says, oh, I gave sixteen thousand dollars and they're like,
I didn't give sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
We're talking about this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, if those spoken friends of mine, if I found
themselves on the Act Blue list, they like So.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's if it can actually be shown that they are
funding firebombing of Tesla charging stations, that's objectively a criminal act.
That that is funding terrorist activity. And the statutes make
clear that an incendiary device qualifies.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So that sus down is a terrorist activity.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, let me ask Ai.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
In ten years, how is life going to be different
because of AI for just a normal person.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, ten years is a long time. In ten years,
probably AI could do anything better than a human can cognitively.
Probably almost. I think in ten years, based on the
curt rate of improvement, AI will be smarter than the
smartest human.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, there will also be a massive number of robots,
so humanoid robots.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
By the way, I got to ask, how come your
robots look so much like the creepy robots for my robot?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Was that intentional or just?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I was hoping he's gonna say, yeah, just a mess
with you.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's not meant to look like any any prior robot.
And we'll iterate the design and you'll be able to
have a lot of the.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Robot parts are cosmetic.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You'll be able to switch out the kind of snap
on cosmetic parts of the robot make it look like
something else if you're lying. So there'll be ultimately billions
of humanoid robots all cause will be self driving.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
In ten years.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
In ten years, probably.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ninety percent of miles driven will be autonomous.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Huh wow that fast.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
In five years, probably fifty percent of miles driven will
be autonomous.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Now, if AI will be smarter than any person, how
many jobs go away because of that? And what do
people do if you've got billions of people that are
losing their jobs like that? A lot of people are
understandably freaked out about that.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, goods, goods and services will become it's close to free.
So it's not as though people will be wanting in
terms of goods and services.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So why is that?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
What?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Why are goods and services free in an AI world
or close to free?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, you have I don't know, call it tens of
billions of robots that they will they will make you
anything or provide any service you want for basically next
to nothing. It's it's not that people will be will
have a lower stand of living. They will have actually
much higher standard of living. But the challenge will be fulfillment.
(13:57):
How do you drive fulfillment and meeting in life?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
