if it's true yeah i thought this was already kind of debunked did you read this which is this this so the the the fact that all these social security things for 350 year old that these were records of people and a lot of these social security numbers have been recycled stolen let me read this and then you debunk it go ahead rob play the clip and we'll go through it go for it there is one person on social security who's 360 years old
So what they're finding, I guess, is number one, a lot of Social Security numbers that are out there have been... recycled, taken from people that are dead by illegal immigrants. That's the one thing. That's actually the real story. And as far as this is concerned, this I think was an error when they did the accounting.

So those social security numbers of people that are dead are still registered in a database. And so they picked those up by accident. So I believe all of this has already been debunked. So this is the worry that I have as we're trying to audit the government and we're trying to make a difference here.

commentary magazine, like the conservative magazines, they have debunked this. It's not that there isn't a lot of waste in government and that this isn't a good audit that we're going to find. When they do this audit, you guys, it's so funny how we're talking about USAID. That's adorable. Wait till they get to Medicaid and Medicare. Wait till they get to the Pentagon. It's going to be insane.

The idea was when, during the Cold War, there was the idea that we're going to spend, and we let the Soviets know, we're going to spend $500 on a screw because we can, and you guys can't keep up with it. There was actually a culture of that. And that was almost a deliberate sort of, like, effort, a propaganda effort.
