Speaker 1 (00:00):
The stupidest woman who has influence over your money.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Mister secretary, did all the individuals working with DOGE who
were given access to Treasury and CFPB's computer databases receive
all of the required clearances and security training before they
were granted access?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Again, they were granted read only access at Treasury.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
There were two So let me just sayes, you can't
fillibus to hear. This is not the phillibus to playground.
And so what you did was you let these strangers
into our treasury with access to all of the data,
all of the personnel information, and you just opened the door.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Why'd you do that?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
No? Man, they were treasury employees.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh are you saying today in front of this committee
that all of them were treasure employees? That the twenty
five year old who's being identified, who worked for ELI
must was not allowed was allowed into the treasure? Was
that person there.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
That he was a treasury employee? As was Tom Krause,
the senior person on the DOSEE team. There were only
two people.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
There were dogs and employees.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Also, Sorry, do you know were you aware that there were.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Dog employees coming into our treasure getting all of our
personal information?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Man? There is no such thing as a DOGE employee.
There were Treasury employees.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Dude, this is all.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
This is Maxine Waters. She's still on the Financial Services Committee.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
And it's shocking she still works in politics at all anywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
It is pretty incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
For those that don't remember, she's the one who told
her supporters on skid Row in Los Angeles, because that's
where she's the congresswoman so many years ago. She told them,
if you see Trump supporters or Republicans in public, you
should harass.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Them and across them.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, you got to get after them. There wasn't even
the most embarrassing thing that happened to her. Yesterday, Treasury
Secretary Scott and is talking to Maxine Waters and she's
so cooked. She doesn't even remember she's met this guy before.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Chairman Secretary bus This is the first time we've met,
Is that correct?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
No, man, we actually met one New Year's even the Bahamas.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Oh he's not one to do whatever they did.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
One of the most underrated things in politics is sound
bites of Congresswoman Maxine Waters sitting on the Financial Committee
trying to figure out how things work. She doesn't know
these DOGE employees are actually Treasury Department in playes.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
She's trying.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
She's depending on talking points she got from Rachel Maddow
on MSNBC.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
She watches somebody make up news about how awful Trump
and the Republicans are, and then she goes and believes
it and then brings it up. So well, yeah, tail
wagging the dog. Obviously, several years ago, she was talking
to banksy on student loans. I think this was right
after Biden took over the White House, and she didn't

(03:05):
know that banks don't handle student loans anymore. The people
that handle student loans, it's the federal government. It's you, Maxine.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
If you think the system's unfair, you're on the Financial Committee.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Do something about it, Solomon, I can't hear you. I apologize.
We eliminated a handful of businesses since the crisis.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Thank you. Today, there are more than forty four million
Americans that, oh, this is student loan crisis, one point
five to six trillion in student loan debt. Last month,
this committee received testimony that last year one million student
loan barriers defaulted, which is on top of the one
million barriers who defaulted the year before. What are you
guys doing to help us with the student loan debt.

(03:45):
Who would like to answer first, mister Monahan, big bank.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
We stopped making student loans in two thousand and seven
or so. Oh, so you don't do it anymore, mister Corbett, Yeah,
go ahead.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
We ACTRA did student lending in two thousand and nine, right,
mister Diamond.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
When the government took over student lending in twenty ten
or so, we stopped doing all student lending for.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
A really long time. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
What about small business, it's so great. Yeah, she's just
she has to go down.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Oh, if you're wondering why we'd start the show at
this this morning, you know, I see you guys, that's
like jumping in the deep end. First, Well, we just
want to let everybody know as you're driving off to
work this morning. You know, some people don't get to
listen to the whole show. They just hear the very beginning.
Guys that work, you know, on an oil rig, probably
get to work pretty early, and so this is the
only part of the show you hear. And just know,
if you make a mistake today at work, you screw

(04:33):
some up. You forgot to put the cover sheet on
a TPS report or something.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Just know at least you're not Maxine Waters. Thank god
for that. Everybody makes mistakes, you know, but good.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
News listening to those reports though she is, she talks,
she does sound unhealthy, so oh she'll be retiring soon
as all iman.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
What it?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Thursday?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Today is Thursday? Good morning, sexy, good morning, wake up
and listen up.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
You need some coffee?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Would you like some more called?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I don't want to calls a stampede or a revolt.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Well, we don't have any coffee Walton and Johnson, of course,
not early in Italy. It's coming up on one o'clock
in the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Over there.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
They've been busy this morning, not electing a pope yet,
so more black smoke from the chimney uh in the
sky over Italy and they have to stay at it.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm sorry, were you saying something?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I was just checking my papal fantasy league here right,
I would do it over there. They're not bad, actually,
it's everybody in America is already heard by this point
that you could bet on who the next Pope's going
to be on polymarket dot com. But in Italy they
actually have a website where you could set up a
pope Fantasy League, and I know that sounds ridiculous, but
that's basically what it is.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
You know, I brought up the betting on who's going
to be the Pope to somebody else all yesterday, and
like me, they were, you know, kind of it's little humors.
But they also assumed that this is a recent trend,
like with the development of the Internet, gambling and all
these media sites, apparently betting on the next pope has

(06:16):
been a thing for a little bit.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Huh, bro, You know, I get into this stuff. I
was in a Catholic church yesterday. They kicked me out,
but I was in one, and so I was learning
about the history of betting on the papal And one
of the things I think is fascinating is that the
betting for this goes all the way back to the
fifteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
There's records of it, and.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
The reason there's records of it is because there were
scandals back then. You might wonder one of the reasons
why it's so secretive with the white and black smoke
is because dating back hundreds of years, centuries, way back
in the fifteen hundreds, some of the cardinals were involved
in a sort of insider trading where they were they
were aware of who was in the lead, and they

(06:56):
were voting with all the other cardinals. But then on
the side they had votes go, they had bets going,
and so when they got caught, this was quite scandalous,
a bit sacrilegious, if you will.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Everything is ultra secretive now to keep that from happening.
For one thing, and it's to make them seem special.
That's always nice too. You know, you got to have
these things, whether you're a club or you know, the
Catholic Church or whatever. All these people they have to
have their special routines that they do. That's how you

(07:27):
get to be a whatever, a rotarian or whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
And by the way, if you wonder he's gambling a sin,
well sort of not really like anything. If you really
read the Bible, you'll notice it's more about excess.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
They'll say things like Timothy six' ten for the love
of all money is the root of all kinds of.
Evil luke twelve. Fifteen take care and beyond guard against all,
recklessness for one's life does not consistent abundance of his.
POSSESSIONS i, mean there's things in, there but it's not
specifically about, gambling which is part of the reason why
in the fifteen hundreds the cardinals did. Gamble but you're
not supposed to gamble in such a way that it

(08:00):
would affect other people's, lives, Right, Yeah so with all
that being, said you, know if you're heading out to
a casino this, weekend just remember there's a Long catholic
tradition of.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Gambling right, now probably have a pope by this. Weekend
we don't know for, sure but they think either later
this afternoon or tomorrow morning at the, latest because last
couple of popes have been picked in about three. Days
that's the, average three to three and a half.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Days oh my, God, steve how DO i forget to
tell you? This guess what my new rap name is
going to? Be you're about to tell?

Speaker 5 (08:28):

really interesting but annoying things right After i've had my.

Speaker 1 (08:39):

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Biden it's going to Be Joe.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Biden, okay we got.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
That Joe biden's It Joe. Biden, Yeah arizona's quick to,
jump so they like.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
That do you, notice by the, Way i'm glad he
brought him up because he's out doing his tour right.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Now that was not a one off when he gave
that little interview before of.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
It biden's gonna be out talking. AGAIN a few interesting
THINGS i noticed about. That that's an.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Idea, Yeah joe's out mumbling in front of THE. Bbc
why is he doing his first? INTERVIEW i, mean it's
not really his first, interview but it is because he's
spoken to the media since leaving The White, house but
not like these long form sit down interviews we just.
Saw and he did it with the foreign. Media do
you think that's interesting he didn't do WITH. Cbs i'll
bet part of the reason he gave it to them
is because they're the only ones that would agree to

(10:44):
what he could and couldn't comment. On, Probably and if
anybody's wondering why him and Doctor, Jill doctor very important
Doctor jill are out doing a media tour right, now
they'll tell you it's to promote a.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Book that's not why it's.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Happening the reason they're doing it now is because there's
all these other books about them that are coming, out
and he knows he has to defend his. Legacy the
problem is without like all The White house staffers there
to inject him with amphetamines and VITAMIN, b and.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
That's that's a bit of an. Issue now he doesn't
get that same great.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Cocktail his performance in that interview was as bad as
his performance in that debate that we saw a year.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
AGO i, mean but at.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
This, point it's kind of Like Kanye west crazy tweets
about homosexuality and being A. Nazi it's like it's not
even shocking. Anymore when it first, happened everybody was, LIKE,
