Doge found 400 million in unemployment fraud

Jay Weber Show transcript 4-16-25

I notice that the MSM has pretty much stopped reporting on any of the waste, fraud, and abuse that doge experts are finding as they continue their review of our federal government.

The left’s pathetic protests over Doge haven’t stopped. They still get coverage. But the left-wing media accomplices have decided -not to- publicize all the waste and fraud that doge continues to find-because it makes the democrats, and those protestors look like idiots.

If we had a steady stream of stories detailing waste and fraud.... how much dumber would these democrats look....by continuing to slam Elon musk, trash Tesla’s, and protest Doge?

This is the sort of thing that -proves- that all of this liberal media bias is intentional.You can’t just ‘organically’ come to a situation in which every so-called news outlet in America suddenly stops caring about doge or being interested in what our govt auditors are finding.

No... that’s got to be a directive from the top of the party and on the activist wires: stop reporting on what doge is finding. It’s making it harder for us to protest it.

Oh. Okay. And somehow, every legacy media outlet falls in line.

But- some of the latest from doge: have you heard that just three states. Three. Blue states.Account for nearly all the unemployment fraud over the last four years.

Yep. Doge found that it’s sloppy and easily defrauded systems in California, New York, and Massachusetts that account for ¾ of the 400 million in unemployment fraud they’ve discovered. And in just a four-year window.

And the ‘breakdown’ of the age of those recipients helps expose fraud.

Doge auditors found that 59 million in fraudulent benefits went to about 25-thousand people who were over 115 years old.

Obvious fraud.

Another 254-million dollar in bad payments went to about 28-thousand people who are between one and five years old.

Yes-over half of the unemployment fraud doge found during the Biden years- went to workers under the age of five.

Let that sink in.

But hey-at least some of the payments went to people who haven’t even been born yet. It’s tough to have a work history or be fired from a job when you haven’t even been born yet.

But somehow, about 15-million dollars in payments were sent to people who won’t be born for at least another fifteen years.

You might have heard about the most extreme case- and all of this proves that our federal government has virtually no system-for weeding out fraudulent claims-

Because -in the most extreme case: someone who will be born in 21-54....got 41-thousand dollars in unemployment benefits.

These sorts of easily identifiable fraudsters prove that our government is go massive and so bloated and so broken that it isn’t even trying to catch the fraud related to our government programs and govt entitlements. And we see it over, and over, and over again: how easy it is for people-globally-

This isn’t just Americans- a huge number of the fraudsters are foreigners-

But repeatedly we see how easy it is for scammers and criminals-globally- to steal from the American taxpayer and defraud the US government.

For heaven’s sake these Doge techs could probably develop software in about a week-that could at least monitor the birthdates of the people filing claims-and kick out the ones that are obviously fake. Babies. 150-year-olds. The unborn.

Seriously-how in the hell does this sort of fraud even occur? Do we have- no? Breakers or fact checks built into any of these massive databases.

It was just last week that we were told doge has found at least 1.3 million illegals who the Biden regime has put onto Medicaid...and onto US voter rolls. 

How does that happen? I don’t care if the Biden regime willingly did it- it’s just another form of fraud...and whoever approved it should be prosecuted criminally for a move like that.

In fact-doge’s greatest ‘gift’ to the American people over the last three months is that it revealed that ‘most of our elected officials and deep state actors’ appear to be defrauding the taxpayers in some way. Either to enrich themselves or promote their leftist causes-or flood the country with illegals they hope to make new voters someday soon.

Given what doge has found-it’s only a slight exaggeration to say: most of our federal government in 2025 turns out to be ‘the insiders defrauding the taxpayers in just about every way imaginable’.

Tell me it’s not.Doge is proving it nearly every day-in real time.

Biden’s team intentionally put those illegals onto Medicaid. That wasn’t a mistake.

Here’s another example: California democrats-who control all of government out there- 

California democrats and Gavin Newsome moved to put that state’s illegals onto their Medicaid program-and that move is now bankrupting their system.  

Medicaid is administered through the states and is a mix of federal and state funding. And in 2023- Newsome and these other socialist nitwits voted to add all illegals to their govt run health care program.... Medicaid. It’s called ‘Medi-Cal’ out there.

Well-sure enough- on Monday of this week- gov Newsom tried to quietly bailout the program with another 3-billion dollars in funding-just to try to limp the system through June first-when the next fiscal year of funding starts.

And as you’d expect when Newsome and democrats moved to dump California’s millions of illegals onto the system.... California republicans called them insane and predicted this exact situation:  Newsome and the dems had-intentionally-underestimated how much this would cost taxpayers.  Dems always need to lie to make their ideas seem reasonable.

And so-here we are less than two years later- California’s Medicare system is bankrupted three months before the fiscal year ends.

It needs emergency funding.

Meanwhile- the top republican in the California state senate says:

So, one of every seven Medicaid recipients in California is an illegal alien-and that number is probably low.

And its overly generous moves ‘like this’ that have our federal Medicaid system ballooning to such unsustainable levels that we’ve got republican congressmen saying-we at least need to put a work requirement onto it.

This is the fake ‘spending cuts’ that democrats pretend to be talking about as they slam republicans for wanting to ‘cut’ Medicaid.

Work requirements aren’t a ‘cut’. They are a reform that’s meant to keep the entitlement viable.

We are a country whose people need to get back to seeing the value of work...and see ‘it’...as the pathway to a better or more comfortable life- instead of viewing the government dole as that pathway.
