I used to work at a Starbucks that this guy frequented. I would look at him in his question mark suit and be like " WTF...!" fast forward a year or so after I found out by mere chance what he does, I sat down next to him and asked him about ways to get into the IT industry (no degree, no exp) he recommended a local non-profit organization that teaches tech support. now I am a network engineer thanks to this man! God bless him!
Wow! I'm sold!
I’m buying his book
Cool bro thanks for sharing your story 👍🏼
How extremely nice of him.
You should write him and tell him thank you.
I totally agreed with him when he said rich people go to the government and ask for money first, average citizens would never do.
This is underrated and tells a story of the USA that most people forget. Most people don't WANT a handout but wouldn't ignore one in their face.
The wealthy see the government as a partner, while the common folk see govt as an enemy. This is a MAJOR point often missed
@@gonzodelphiki2083 Its crazy when he said people were getting mad at him for "promoting welfare" as he never tells people to stop working. And rich people and companies take advantage of taxbreaks and subsidies all the time. Theyve just managed to convince the average shmuck like us that its socialism when we use it and capitalism when they do.
"Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor." -MLK
This hits so hard rn 🤦🏾♂️
All poor people look for government hand its or lazy people do, rich work hard damn hard..
I remember his commercials in high school. Now I work for the federal government....and he is absolutely right. Come get your money!!!!!
How???
@@curtisramsey2219 because a government looking out for its citizens is the worst thing ever!!1!
@@InternetKilledTV21 Because the government, forcefully takes from others without consent. If you care, Frederic bastiat "the law" will help explain why people think there should be a smaller government. Its on youtube
That money ain't free though, it had to be taken out of someone else's paycheck!
@@DaCheapChimp oh no the government makes us pay taxes, who knew?!
When I was 18, I read his book front to back in one day, trying to find government funding so I could get a good job and start my life. By the end of it, I became memorized with Federal grants. I am now a Grant Management Specialist, helping people after disasters to manage their money. It's 20 years later, and I still think about how that book changed how I see the world. I don't care what anyone says about him, he brought passion to government programs and he changed my life. Thank goodness I made it out.
Which book was it?
This is heartwarming
Whats the book called?
Serrioo?
Book name? Please
He’s being super modest about how he didn’t do any of the work on those books. Can you imagine sifting through all those government documents and categorizing them all into digestible chapters to be interpreted by the common man and adding silly titles that coincide with your image? That sounds horrible.
I think he is trying to highlight how all the programs were already there for a long time, even books explaining them, the information was just not getting to people.
God bless him for it though💯💖
That's genius..
thats exactly what I was thinking... I was like noooo i tried this,, this is hard lol
It's crazy how me and you pay for people making those reports through tax money.
I started the video hating this guy and ended it loving him. If the government is going to tax you to pay for these programs then it is better that the money go to normal people rather than massive corporations.
James Payne accidentally pressed thumbs down when I meant to comment. I totally agree. Especially when you look at the cat cuts of corporations vs individual people
how can anyone hate Lesko? he's an American legend!
i remember this guy from TV when i was a kid. I thought for sure he was full of sht. idk now
Exactly! My partner and his whole shift got cut (30 people) and we decided to use government benefits until he was able to find a job to help support us. We felt incredibly guilty but we have both been paying into the system for decades, tens of thousands taken in taxes from the both of us just last year. Damn right I was going to take advantage of those supplemental benefits until we can get our heads above water again. Without assistance we would have had to be homeless, until he was able to get a new job and that first check. People mock the system until they are the ones that need it, I've definitely learned from that.
@Patriot Jefferson haha
People judge a guy like Lesko, but get angry (then passively accept) government bailouts for corporations that pay no taxes?
THIS!!! Clearly the latter is a *much* larger amount of money "lost" for the government. Hundreds of millions in tax dollars are lost annually from multi-billion dollar industries, because for some reason people in charge think these large corporations will in some way "give back" to those customers in forms other than taxes. That is a gross assumption that these individuals care about the masses when in reality most of the rich just keep getting richer, and only care about filling their pockets.
EXACTLY!!!
FACTS
Hay : you have a very valid point of view . Maybe we should all be communists . Tat worked out well throughout history .or maybe we should try fascism. That ideal worked even better than communism . Or ooh wait maybe we should force the government to make all the decisions for everyone who opens up a business . I mean it’s not like the average citizen can become an entrepreneur in America without having been born into money . Right ?
@@Colonelhaydeemew Andrew Yang wants to use those "lost dollars" as a monthly dividend for the People. The Amazons and Googles profit off of our data and this dividend could make the citizens the share holders in our nation.
"The government should be doing what I'm doing..."
This line right here. He's telling people, informing them about programs that already exist that are meant to help people, and he's doing nothing wrong. People don't seem to realize that the government is supposed to be working for you. Helping you. If they actually did their job, there would be so many more programs out there that actually help people. I'm talking free medical, education, etc. But no. The government for a long time is being run to help corporations make billions. Laws made to take away from programs that would help keep people of the streets and fed. Some people like to complain and say that the government isn't supposed to be helping you and I call bull on that. It was created for that very purpose.
Or maybe programs like these work best when not weighed down by govt bureaucracies. Small charities are much more efficient.
Facts, if the government plans to keep on taxing ppl so high, that needs to cover much more than infrastructure (the taxes one person pays yearly on average can cover a mile+ strip of road that many thousands of people drive over a day).
Thank you. I have always said this and you are 110 percent correct
@@SciVias917 except they're not. No one who understands service delivery to citizens works in non profit due to poor pay, paperwork is a mess, process management is ass backwards. The problem with charities is funds given to them are made sure they go to 'programming' and metrics to ensure they're helping people, but the funds never go to actually making sure they reinvest in ways to make it so their more efficient.
I remember this guy from when I was a kid. I always just assumed he was scamming people. Wish I'd have known he was serious, and actively trying to help
@Madeline Harper Maybe it was the right thing to do, because the most desperate people are the ones that tend to fall to those types of scammers. Appearing as one might ironically might have had him reach more people in need.
@*Gasp how is he scamming people?
@*Gasp I don't feel that he's scamming people by offering easier access to programs that have a specific qualification set. It took him time and effort to sort through tons of programs and legal jargon to find programs for some people in need that might actually be assisted.
Kimi Danger He is scamming people....if you buy his books...he tells you just enough that you have to either join a website for a constant fee or buy his next book which tell you to do the same...
@@chewie2055 hes been writing books since before anyone even internet.. I think youre mistaken.
My mom bought one of his books and i thought she was crazy...then she got a free grant for 50,000 dolars to fix our house and one of the stipulations was we just had to live in the house for 5 years ..if not we would have to pay it back ....i didnt believe it but it worked...mind was blown 😱🤑🤑
find that book and give that sight
Tell us about the program!!!
@@MichaelOnRockyTop i dont know it i just know it was in the book i was 14 when she did it
@@MichaelOnRockyTop she also passed away or i would just ask her ...get this mans book
So sorry for your loss. GOD Bless you!!!
When Bill Nye, Ted Danson, and The Riddler have a son.
Couldnt be more legit👍
Bob Barker?
I can only imagine how that all went down.
But raised by Jim Carrey
There's some Kevin Roberts in there too
I will say this for mister Lesko as a testament to his character. When I bought his book I opened it there was a note inside stating I didn't send quite enough money. They deal was supposed to include two books. Instead of returning my order. He sent me one book. Which I thought was a fair deal. I can't remember how short I was. But it really impressed me he did that and even signed the note. I wish I still had it.
"If you DON'T believe your work is helping people you SHOULD be smart enough to do something else." wise words.
Jennie Bond damn ur fine ad
Jennie Bond what’s your job
Shouldn't this guy be busy running the fake Good Place?
Creative Nothing.... dude spoilers and no this guy doesn’t look like that other guy.
Manual Clutch I think he was trying to say rip off
To be fair, The Good Place stole the character from this guy.
Creative Nothing brooo🤣🤣😭
This guy is who they are pretending to be
"Funky is cheaper than fancy...and Funky's more fun."
Words to live by.
Where are you from?
I remember this guy from a stream a while back, fell asleep with this on with his iPad, really connected with him on a deep level. Love it!
I don't get it why people hate this guy for telling about government programs that you've already paid taxes for in order to have.
If you qualify, then use it. You have already paid for it via your taxes.
Right
Because many people don't pay for it.
I think the main misconception people have is that they think if you don't use the grant money, that somehow the tax money will be given back to the people that originally paid it, or something. They don't get it that the money either gets used for this stuff, or gets wasted, or gets recycled back into the same programs.
Ayy Lmao no you haven’t. That’s why we’re $21 trillion in debt. Yes endless wars and corporate welfare are huge. There is no free lunch. In the near term I’m sure it’s awesome. All societies fail for this reason. Once the government is allowed to exit sound money and use fiat they inflate the supply until its total failure. Every single time throughout history. Santayana, those who cannot remember the past...? But yes Keynes said in the long run we’re all dead, so who cares live it up right? There will be consequences to this. Venezuelan children lived the outcome of runaway debasement and paid the ultimate price. The government fixed the problem by making it illegal for doctors to report starvation as their cause of death. If this all seems incoherent and confuses you, that’s exactly why we are collectively fucked.
.... If you pay taxes.
I use to live in Montgomery County MD for 5 years and Lesko use to frequent the mall I worked at all the time, he is totally the same in real life, always a big smile on his face. Super humble dude, I always respected this hell outta him!

Their love is absolutely adorable. Finding someone who accepts your weird is the ultimate soulmate.
Where are you from?
I live in the same town as this guy. I didn’t even know it until I watched this Vice profile. - like a week later I saw him and his wife sitting right next to me at a stop light in their question mark car! I have never been so excited in my life
😂
Never seen his car road a plane with him out to ca
@@jayboss3102 Wot?
Same
Where exactly? I live in Rockville MD, curious to know where exactly he lives
His son, Morgan, went to my highschool, was a normal dude. Drove to school in a car with question marks painted all over it though
setdavidfree I honestly don't want to know if that's a true story or not, I NEED that to be reality
setdavidfree Ned is the man!!! Lol
Ned Gold right lol 😂
Ned Gold It is true. I also went to HS with Morgan. Can confirm he was a friendly, normal dude that would drive a car (minivan maybe too?) with ?’s all over it.
@3:12 you can see it
This is the kinda video I would love to fall asleep naked to
I bought his book. Lol I actually got a few grants for school :). I love him and his wife! They’re super sweet!
Sairve Two This man is my new hero! What heart! Is there a way that you know of to contact this man? I really admire his love of life & helping people.
Which book did you buy?
Same thats how im in college rn is crazy so many programs and grants
Which book was it?
That weirdos married?? Lol
This is the kind of stuff that reminds me why I started watching VICE in the first place. I had completely forgotten about this guy. Would have probably never thought about him again. Turns out he's a pretty interesting guy. I'd love to see more stories like this instead of tons and tons more videos about drugs. Uncle on the drug videos.
Archman2312 Yessssss I could not agree with this comment more! Vice was always about showing us edgy, interesting and off beat stories and now all we see is "eating cannabis infused cupcakes with the rock johnson" it's embarrassing frankly
Archman2312 agreed so sick of all the marijuana BS... we get it... you vape...
Archman2312 so true lmao
Archman2312 seriously dude!!!!!! i ducking completely agree
I didn't think he was really this eccentric. Makes me love that portion of my childhood that much more!
Dude looks like the love child of Orville Redenbacher and The Riddler
Miles Headley oh shit I’m dying bro!!! Lmao 🤣
Omg 😭
Looks like Jim Carrey
He looks like bill nye the science guy!!
Amazing!!

sad that he doesn't have any friends, and still he is such a kind hearted person!
Derek Charette Please don't project your life on him! It is obvious that he would like to have more friends, he admit its because he is a bit weird/eccentric! GTFOH
agreed
He's very outgoing . If he really wanted them, he'd have them. Seems to me he gets what he needs from interactions with many people rather than a small group. I don't know, just a thought.
he does, not many
He is not kind. He is conning people out of money for a 'get rich quick' scheme. You can see by the amount of books he has 'written' - he prays on the desperate and greedy. Any bullshit packed into a 'free stuff/get rich' book. He sells his 'service' (bullshit) to the common man. No one gets rich from his advice except him, because idiots buy his crap.
When I was a kid, I thought he was the Riddler's dad.
dustinb42
You mean the daddler
dustinb42 I’m pretty sure he is our version of the riddler
dustinb42 lmfao hahahahahaha
Maybe he is. The Riddler could have written that thank you dad letter that they read.
I actually chuckled laughing
13 minutes, Said something about the heart. Fucked me up. Question mark guy, your alright.
Much respect to this man. I had no idea he was such a genuinely good guy. Plus, they are the happiest couple I've ever seen!

I remember seeing this guy on tv as a kid.Oh man what a trip it was to see him here
Yep, Old and outdated.....
Me too lol
I wonder if there's really free government money like he says... or if it's all conman b.s. to get you to buy his books.
Tim Pande zilch,bigots and lowlife pedo's run it.
Tim Pande I bought 1 of his books back in the late 80's. Couldn't make sense of it. Does not mean it wasn't useful. I just didn't get anything out of it. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of the book. Now that I am older would love a 2nd chance at reading it. Ran into him @ BWI International Airport. I had just gotten off flight and he was about to get on 1. Said hi. He said hi back! Sorry I was not more help.
Smart man. Self made man who made his wealth by doing things that other Americans are too lazy to research. A true success story.
yep made lots of money of copyright infringement which we get in trouble for now
DoorKicker Are you moronic or just regular stupid? Government works are public domain. Do you seriously think the government owns the text LAWS and REGULATIONS and you can't copy them, because they are copyrighted? How the hell does that work?

Why do I get the feeling that Mr. Lesko is like a federal Robin Hood?
Whoa he put out a video last year called Reverse Robin Hood: Gov't Gives More Grants To Wealthy & Cuts Money From Needy
Well said!!
You have to applaud the guy, his kids love him, he's made money, lost money, and still has a great attitude! Good job!

What people should be angry about is politicians, corporations, and 1%ers receiving welfare from huge tax breaks, off shore accounts/shell corporations, and crony capitalism.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Peace.
True-we get crumbs to fight over while they have more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime. It's obscene.
Corporations are a good thing
Nathan A. Wilson
Yes and no, yes because they create jobs ok.. but a big no no is corporations like apple that like to brag about their profits/results at the expense of american citizans.. how? They produce their stuff in China and charge a premium for it, even in the USA where apple products are cheaper than other countries. And then thanks to their lobbying, like the op said, they have huge "tax breaks", because they pay something really low on taxes compared to small and medium companies thanks to tax schemes, that let them evade taxes legally, so again making big bucks at the expense of the American citizens.
To add to that problem, lots of huge corporations do that, apple, google, and others, so imagine the amount of $. And again its not fair to small and medium business to pay more taxes than these huge corporations.
Rashad Why?
If they do a biopic on him, Steve Carell would be hilarious as Matthew Lesko
This would be dope
Jim Carey would be great too.
Ted Danson
I'm thinking more like bringing Steve Martin back for one last job.
Only some of you know how deep this man is. He in reality isn't all goofy like he acts. He is really a deep thoughtful and caring man. what you see on the outside is his joker side. The other side of the man I know isn't that goofy guy. He's brilliant.
Love how he admitted to straight plagiarism multiple times in this video lol
I don’t think you can plagiarize public information. It’s like writing a book on public health guidelines. All the information is public you just have to find it.
Dizzz127 that’s like saying because a book or someone’s research is public information you copying it without changing a thing isn’t plagiarism? Lol
@@SwizzyPlays he means the legal meaning of public. a random book someone publishes isnt public information, but the guidelines on receiving grants from the government or a research the government did on pasta, is public, meaning every member of the public has the right to use that information openly

Where are you from?
I came here because I searched for people with the same surname as mine. I'm not disappointed, what a cool dude.
Samuel Leško thanks cousin matthew
Matthew Lesko omg awsome
+Samuel Leško Actually he could, technically, not have the same surname as you. There's Lesko (which is Polish, would mean his family came from the town of the same name) and Leško (which is Slovak), and a Slovak ancestor emigrating to the USA in the 19th or early 20th century is going to remove the accent mark. So the surname could be either one of those.
Not that it really matters, just saying.
Mrdie No, thank you for you input. I didn't know there was a similar Polish surname. :)
Wow the Riddler sure mellowed out after Batman retired

Don’t be pissed at him, be pissed at the government for spending your tax dollars this way! It’s better it end up back in the pockets of the public
@Tom Cruise so police, fire departments, numerous offices that handles taxation, customs and infrastructural upkeep all these things are pointless in your world guess your the text book definition of an anarchist.
@Tom Cruise Without those tax dollar spending we would be back to the middle ages. No infrastructure, no services, no studies, no science. Grow up dude.
You should never rely on the government to leave the money in the hands of the public. It shouldn't be in the hands of the government in the first place. You work for your money you have a lot less to worry about. You rely on everybody else to pay for your wants and needs you end up with no personal freedom or liberty.
@@cancerino666 That's not what we're talking about. This money clearly isn't making its way to any kind of infrastructure or science. There are several publications by Rand Paul that explain all of the ridiculous studies that are put out just so people can keep their funding. It isn't science. They have no justifiable reason for being studied. Privatized institutions lead to the science that's applied in your everyday life not the government funded "studies".
If this were going to infrastructure, fine. We can all live with that, but its lining the pockets of lifer politicians and people that contribute to their "foundations"...
Infrastructure is a local government issue not federal government. We don't need services either. The country (rich and poor) did better on charity than it ever did with the welfare system. Truth is, most "services" are a big waste of money.
Government expansion historically isn't the friend of personal rights and freedoms.
@@akbrooks70 what are you talking about? Aslong as you follow the rule of law and the requirements if any to get social support your well entitled to get it. The liberty is all over that, nobody is forcing you to take out the social benefits but you can if you want to or need to.
Your freedom aint even at play, or you assuming the gov walks door to door to give out social benefit cheques...
And somehow therein can blackmail you out of what? Not getting your benefits? Starving? The list goes on.
