Starting point is 00:00:00 What the hell is this article that I just read? Doge Goons physically dragged Social Security worker from desk. The high-ranking civil servant had opposed a plan to push out migrants by falsely listing them as dead, and he was forcefully removed from his desk at the Social Security offices. Now, I want to break down this story and a few more. We have a lot to talk about today. Before we even break down this, there's a story that is tangentially related that is equally as important. Social Security's announcements are leaving its website.
Starting point is 00:00:30 now moving to X, meaning the primary communication service from the Social Security Service is coming from a platform that Elon Musk owns, and Elon Musk leverages to spread disinformation. So if you want official updates on your retirement, your disability checks, your benefits of any sort, you now have to scroll through Elon's personal propaganda machine. You don't just get Social Security announcements. You also have to get conspiracy theories, rage-baiting posts. that will make you mad, Russian disinformation, all throughout Twitter, all just to see an update about your disability check, which, by the way, Elon Musk is also sort of poking and prodding
Starting point is 00:01:12 with right now. Now, it's not like he's completely nuking Social Security. I don't want to raise any panic. I've gotten emails of people scared. There's no reason to be scared. But the thing is, Elon Musk is making these attempts. We need to make sure we're going to these hands-off protests and saying, hey, keep your hands off the Social Security, Disability checks, Medicare.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Medicaid, all of these things, keep your hands off. But back to the main story, the fact that Social Security's announcements are leaving its official website and going to Elon Musk's platform is a gross, gross, abuse of power, but also concession from the people working within Social Security. Why is Elon Musk now allowed to dictate the narrative on Social Security and say that it's a Ponzi scheme and it's fraudulent? And then if you're on Social Security and you want to go get information, you have to read through Elon Musk's tweets about Social Security being fraudulent. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:02:04 And check out Representative Jason Crow breaking this down from Colorado. He has a break in a Well, he's a billionaire acting as billionaires do. They're trying to raise money. They're trying to pad their own pockets. You know, this is somebody who's one of the largest defense government contractors in the country. And he's been given the keys to every government agency by Donald Trump. Not only that, there's zero congressional oversight. Nobody really can even say what his job is. There's no accountability. There's no insight into what he's doing. And people are pretty pissed off about it. And they should be, right? Because he has access to their social security systems. We have access to the payment systems. And he's the one who's deciding what to cut
Starting point is 00:02:43 and what not to cut when he has a vested interest in all of these programs. So people see what's going on here. It's not okay. Very well said. And before we get on to the main story, the key point that Jason Crow makes here, a few key points of the representative makes. But number one, there's no external oversight. Most departments, most institutions have an external body overseeing them so there are checks and balances. All Elon Musk has is his own
Starting point is 00:03:07 Twitter account that he runs and the Doge account, which he also runs. So it's like the same problem as people going to X to get their social security disinformation. It's all this feedback loop of disinformation. But also, there are many conflicts of interest. Elon Musk is rushing
Starting point is 00:03:23 it and being reckless. I mean, let me play a clip for my Jubilee debate just to show you. me debating a conservative about Elon, all that I ask is that you scroll down, make sure you drop a like and hit that subscribe button so we can continue being the fastest growing, one of the fastest growing political channels on all of YouTube. Doge and Elon Musk fired a bunch of nuclear stockpile workers, as Naima said, and then they realized 24 hours later, and you can look this up, these were uniquely qualified, highly specialized people who were maintaining and taking care of our nuclear stockpiles.
Starting point is 00:03:49 So they fired them on Thursday. They've reached back out on Friday, but the nuclear stockpile people were locked out of their federal emails. so there was a bunch of downtime where our stockpiles couldn't be maintained. Two questions. Is that efficient, and is that helping America? But here's the thing. Okay, so for the nuclear thing, that is bad. And it's great.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And I'm going to agree with you right there. I think it's great that you mention it. And I think it's great that we can acknowledge that, oh, my gosh, if we cut things that don't need to be cut, we need to figure out and make sure those things are not cut. Here's the problem. The government is so massive and so wasteful and so inefficient that it is almost impossible to tell the fat from the muscle because of how massive the entire system is. It's like doing surgery.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah, I still disagree with your entire thesis. I think surgery, something that is necessary with surgery, is precision. You have surgical precision when you do things, and that's not what Elon Musk is doing. So the way that Elon Musk is doing it is not only reckless, but it's illegal. Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. So when Elon Musk is using the executive branch to cut things and shutter entire agencies like U.S. aid, you are subverting Congress. You are subverting their power of the purse.
Starting point is 00:04:52 100%. And that ties directly back to this point that I want to make here. Richard Hananiya posted, Elon Musk has reduced the claims about what Doge is saving from $1 to $2 trillion to $150 billion. But the New York Times reports he's still getting the numbers wrong through things like accounting errors, canceling contracts that don't exist. We've also heard that he's claimed to cancel contracts that ended years ago. There was a contract that was paid out fully in 2019.
Starting point is 00:05:22 and Elon Musk listed that as saving $8 billion, that's part of the $150 billion number. And then they don't remove these accounting errors, which is absolutely wild. And really quickly, life has been kind of stressful lately between all of the work we do to stay on top of the news every day, between all of the work we do at our actual jobs or school, whatever you spend your day is doing,
Starting point is 00:05:43 I feel like half of us are running on caffeine and stress most of the time. That's why I'm excited to have Viya sponsoring this episode.

Doge Goons physically dragged Social Security worker from Desk. This is going to be an interesting story because the Elon, I was going to say the Elon administration,
Starting point is 00:07:33 but the Trump administration with Elon Musk running Doge has been making all of these really, really fast-paced mistakes and not really being able to fix them. So for example, Elon Musk claimed that there were hundreds, thousands of dead people on the Social Security payrolls, But it turns out that was just a mechanism from COVID to stop fraud. I made a whole other video about this, but that was actually to stop fraud. A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with the Department of Government Efficiency, according to the Washington Post. The Washington Post article reads,
Starting point is 00:08:08 Trump admin overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead. And again, keep your damn hands off our Social Security. Well, not my Social Security yet, Keep your damn hands off. A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave after earlier warnings about the agency's deaths database were ignored. Two days after the Social Security admin purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency's
Starting point is 00:08:40 Woodlawn, Maryland, HQ. So at the headquarters in Maryland, they physically dragged a well-respected executive. out because he pushed back on their dumb plan. Greg Pierre, who oversaw a staff of hundreds of technology experts, had pushed back on the Trump admin's plan to move the migrants' names into Social Security Death Database, eliminating their ability to legally earn wages, and officials hoped spurring them to leave the country. Elon, this is not your job.
Starting point is 00:09:11 What a massive overreach. It is not the job of Elon Musk or Doge or Social Security to force people to force people to out of America. To force people's life. It's insane. To continue, though. Pierre had clashed with Scott Coulter, the new chief information officer installed by Elon Musk. Pierre told Coulter that the plan was illegal, cruel, and risked declaring the wrong people dead, according to three people familiar with the events. No. Elon Musk making a fast-paced mistake in ruining somebody's life? No. Actually, there are multiple stories of people being labeled as dead and having to go through weeks of a bureaucratic nightmare just to get their social security checks again.
Starting point is 00:09:51 But I guess that's intentional. The goal is to make life so unlivable, so bureaucratically impossible for these migrants in particular, that many of them will just quote unquote self-deport, which is absolutely disgusting. Remember, Elon Musk can't be trusted with anything. This guy sends out 200 tweets a day, 99% of them just pure disinformation, the ones that aren't disinformation are probably just like racist memes or whatever the hell. And that's still disinformation.
Starting point is 00:10:17 On top of that, they fired nuclear stockpile workers. They accidentally paused Ebola research and never restored it. They paused measles research. All of these things combined to paint a pretty terrible picture. But PR's objections, the guy who was fired, did not go over well with the Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pierre's office told him it was time to leave. This is like a microcosm of fascist behavior, using the machinery of the state to target a class of people. And then when somebody sticks up for that class of people, you use security guards to remove them.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And I understand that Elon or whoever likely had the right to remove this person, but there's a difference between having the right to remove someone and placing us on a really morally slippery slope because you felt the need to remove someone from the office physically. But I'm going to leave it at that. As the Trump admin tries to distance himself from Elon Musk and say that he's a political liability, he is still trying to push the boundaries of what is acceptable in America. No billionaire should have this level of power over the Constitution and over people. He has no constitutional restraints at the moment.
Starting point is 00:11:30 He has no moral compass whatsoever, and it's bleeding into the lives of daily people. We will end this here. I will see you all in the next video. Make sure you subscribe to help boost the message, and peace out.
