He has it. he's carrying it with the butt in the backpack and the barrel sticking out. You can see it as he swings it over the edge of the roof and again in the grass when he hits the ground. As he's running he holds the backpack by the straps so it hangs low and the barrel is hidden by his arm.

Speaker 0: Said that they have to do everything they can to keep me from winning, to keep me from making it. And I'm representing you, so I have to make it. I have I have big shoulders, but these are big shoulders. I have to win for you. I'm not winning for myself.
I'm winning for you. Do you remember when they said that Donald Trump will never become president of The United States? Remember Barack Hussein Obama said that? Barack Hussein Obama. Donald Trump will never be president.
Like, 50 other politicians said that. Where are they now? Oh, let me see. Oh, there they are. Where are they now?
But here I am standing before you as the forty fifth and forty seventh president. You heard that a lot. But against all odds, I did great in 2016. '20 '16, how great was And then I did much better in 2020. Sorry.
The election was rigged. I probably but it was a rigged election. And then in 2024, I made it too big to rig. I said, we gotta do this again. We gotta do this again.
We made it too big to rig. We we made it. That was a great expression. I said, you gotta go and vote. Even though I was leading big in the polls, I said, it doesn't matter.
You gotta make it too big to rig. And they They went out and they voted and voted and voted. And we won the whole thing. And it was so good, and it's such a great mandate for our country. That's the important thing.
So never let anyone tell you that something is impossible ever, ever, ever. In America, the impossible is what we all do best. There is nothing you cannot do if you are willing to fight for it. You gotta fight, fight, fight. Oh, I've heard that expression.
Funny. That's not here. That's not here on the actually, most of what I've said tonight is not on the teleprompter. That's alright. Isn't it nice to have a president that says doesn't need a teleprompter and can sort of can sort of have a little fun?
Because I feel that this is home. You know, it's been such a great state for me. I feel it's home. When they said Alabama, I said that has a good ring to me. But, it's something nice about somebody that doesn't need a teleprompter, isn't it?
But for the past four years, you've lived in a state known for its fighters, its champions, and its warriors. And you've lived in the great state of Alabama, one of the greatest of them all, from Huntsville to Birmingham, from Montgomery to Mobile, and from right here in Tuscaloosa. To the gleaming shores of the Gulf Of America. That is a nice one. Everybody loves it.
I wouldn't say Mexico's thrilled, but you can't have them all. They're not thrilled. You continue the legacy of Alabama legends who blazed the trails, won the games, tilled the fields, forged the steals, built the ships, and gave us the victories that built America and changed the world. The entire world was changed by our victories. This is the state that gave us the might of the iron city, the power of the Saturn five rocket, and the roaring engines of Talladega.
Talladega. We love Talladega. We love Talladega. This is the state that gave us nothing but victory, the state of some of the greatest heroes in history like Willie Mays, Jesse Owens, Joe Lewis, your coach Nick Saban, Hank Williams, and many others. Some of you will leave here today and travel the world, but you will always know that this state as this is really sweet home Alabama.
Right? It's always gonna be your place. I sort of feel that way myself because from a political standpoint, it's just been we connected from day one. From the first day I set my foot on this beautiful soil, I connected with Alabama. And here in Alabama, we believe that the men and women who built this country are heroes and that America's destiny is to be the single greatest nation on the face of the earth, and we're bringing it back at a speed that nobody thought was possible.
We believe in freedom and family, god and country. We cherish our constitution. We revere our bible, and we salute our great American flag. We honor our police, we respect our veterans, and we always stand for our one and only national anthem. We love our we love our national anthem.
We believe in strong parents, strong values, strong communities, and very strong borders. And we believe that the United States military is the greatest force for peace and justice the world has ever known. We have a great military. We just had people that didn't know how to lead it. We believe the South is beautiful, Alabama is great, and America is our home.
We believe in the SEC and The USA. Graduates of the Alabama class of 2025 standing here before you in this magnificent arena, it is clear to see the next chapter of the American story will not be written by the Harvard Crimson. It will be written by you, the Crimson Tide. True. That's true.
That's true. That's true. I thought that was rather clever. If you look at what's going on, you know, they get their $5,000,000,000 a year. That is not gonna be so forthcoming.
Now can you wasn't that a clever one, though? How who would think of that? Because this is Alabama, and in Alabama, you fight, fight, fight, and you win, win, win. That's what you know how to do. Congratulations to you all.
Congratulations to this great class of champions. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much.
Speaker 1: Alright. That was president Trump. History will not be written by the Harvard Crimson, but by the Crimson Tide. Roll Tide. Anyway, president Trump with a rousing commencement address at the University of Alabama introduced by legendary coach, Nick Saban.
He was greeted warmly by a massive crowd, students, families, faculty members. Everyone seemed happy to see him, and the president's working around the clock to make life better, more prosperous, more affordable for every American, and it's safe to say, you know, you won't hear this from the media mob, but you all made the right decision in November. And I need to stop this program right now. And as a public service, I'd be negligent not to stop here and say thank you to every American who went out to vote on November 5 or voted early or voted by mail. Thank you for saving us from four years of what would have been an unmitigated disaster.
But if you need another reminder tonight, I present to you Kamala Harris back in action last night and worse than ever, with a late night words out.

Jesse Watters sits down with the DOGE team to talk about what they are finding. In this part we meet "Big Balls" and find out where he got that name. (Part 3) https://t.co/yg2CipXs1j
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers discuss identifying and addressing fraud and waste in government payment systems, where there is often no clear accounting of where the money goes. One speaker uses "Big Balls" as a LinkedIn username to signal risk-taking.
Team members have faced hostility, including email threats and effigy hangings, for their work. One member dropped out of Harvard to contribute, citing the greater impact of this work. They emphasize their intense work ethic and dedication.
They also highlight the collaboration with government employees who are eager for reform and express gratitude to those helping reduce waste and fraud. They stress that many government employees are dedicated and want to improve systems, and they are providing the tools and collaboration to empower them. Conflict is the exception, not the rule.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We finally ask the one question on our mind. Who's Big Balls?
Speaker 1: It's me. That should be obvious. Why do they call you Big Balls?
Speaker 2: I just said it as my LinkedIn username. Okay. Well, people on LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously, and they're pretty adverse to risk. And I was like, well, I wanna be neither of those things. So I just I said it and then, honestly, I didn't even think anyone would notice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you clicking this so cringe. What does BigBalls do?
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm working on some payment computer stuff. So one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste. And to do that, we started looking at the payment computers. And as mentioned earlier, like, there is no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer. So, like, you look at a specific line item, like $20,000,000, and you're like, okay.
Well, what is this money going to? And for the majority of payment systems, it's like, well, we don't really know.
Speaker 1: And Yeah. They're like, what? That would be the response.
Speaker 0: Is this the most basic responses?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. That's the most common response.
Speaker 0: What do you say when people just say, I don't know. Well, it's
Speaker 2: a huge cause for concern because, like, the upstream thing, is distributing the money, literally has no checks and no no accountability to the actual American taxpayer. So it's a huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 0: Do these people not respect taxpayer money?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no incentive to you if you work in the government. I think the incentives will always decide the outcomes.
Speaker 0: Yes. Do you guys feel like you're putting yourself at risk by doing this because you're stirring up so much hostility by these people ripping us off?
Speaker 1: A %. Well, we don't need to speculate about that. You can see online in in the protests that they make that very clear. I mean, I've been hanged in effigy many times, and there have been people that have actively advocated at these violent protests violent protests for my death and have also advocated for the death of the the people at Doge.
Speaker 3: I think the young folks of us have gotten email threats from reporters and the public alike. I think speaking for myself I dropped out of Harvard and came here to serve my country and it's been unfortunate to see you know lost friendships, most of campus hates me now, but I think fundamentally I hope people realize through conversations like this that reform is genuinely needed and if there's one I think this is important to say if there's one group of people who really have a shot of success it's the people here you know they're up until 2AM Monday through Sunday, those should not recognize weekends we're working all the time.
Speaker 0: What inspired you to drop out of Harvard to do this?
Speaker 3: You know there's a lot of reform that's needed. I think the value of this and the impact here is so much more vast than anything you could learn in classroom doing computer science.
Speaker 0: And you guys are sleeping here. I'm hearing you guys are up all night. You have this meeting at 10:00 every Wednesday.
Speaker 3: We'll probably, go back to work right after this. Yeah.
Speaker 0: You're going back to work after this.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 0: It's almost 11:00. So that's early.
Speaker 3: That's early.
Speaker 0: It's early? Can
Speaker 1: I go to bed?
Speaker 0: That's an incredible work ethic. You guys should be really, really proud of yourself. Do good people come up to you and say thank you for doing what you're doing? Absolutely.
Speaker 4: There are people in the state department that will stop you or all of the agencies that we've been to that'll stop you in the hallways or write emails and say, was scared to write this or I don't know if you're interested in this, but they usually have great ideas. And if they often have the best ideas because they've worked in the places and they've been stifled by the bureaucracy for so many years. So one of the the great things that at least in my experience that I you know, we listen to them and empower them.
Speaker 2: So Yes, in fact,
Speaker 1: I'd like to emphasize that because we'd like to just give a big thank you to all the government employees who are helping reduce the waste and fraud because this is, you know, we really couldn't do it without you. So It's a group effort. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I'm not trying to sort of say all government employees are bad, that's absolutely not the case. It's just that, you know, there actually does need to be a serious effort to reduce the waste from Ford and we're just making that happen and a lot of people in the government are very glad to see it happen.
Speaker 5: I think it's really important to recognize every single person around this table that's embedded within an agency is supporting that agency whether they're working on systems or working through people. We are encountering droves of government employees who are missionaries not mercenaries who are actually here serving because they believe in what they're doing they want to do things well. We are trying to empower them and they feel empowered now to ask the question of why, why aren't we doing this? What else can we be doing? How can we fix this?
And I think agency by agency it is filled with exceptional government employees right and we when we give them the tools, when we give them the systems and we leave behind systems to help them do their jobs better that's the permanent change right and they're embracing that not because it's new to them it's because it's something they've always wanted to do but for the first time ever we're giving them the tools and the collaboration to be able to do that.
Speaker 0: It's a very important message, That message needs to get out a lot more I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 5: We have exceptional people at all of our agencies, exceptional. I mean they do a thankless job and they work incredibly hard.
Speaker 0: I love to hear how collaborative it is with these people in these agencies. And it's not all conflict. Sometimes in the media, always hear about conflict and you guys are considered these ruthless suits that come in and scare people. It's Conflict is the exception.
Speaker 1: There is conflict, but that is the exception. It's actually true of history in general. You know, people study the wars a lot, but actually most of the time there wasn't war.
Speaker 0: It's just not as exciting. It's just not as exciting. Right. Exactly. Well, the TV guys, we like conflict, but in this case, we love the collaboration.
So thank you guys. Thanks for allowing me this access in here. You guys are just really, really bright, young, smart Patriots. And you have a great team. And thank you, Elon, for everything you've done for the country.
We really appreciate it. We're eternally grateful.
Speaker 1: You're welcome.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Thank you. We got the Maryland dad body cam footage. That exclusive tape.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers discuss the government's outdated paper-based retirement process, which involves storing physical files in a mine. One speaker recounts visiting the mine filled with filing cabinets from the 1960s, emphasizing its security and climate control, but questioning the continued use of paper in 2025. The process requires compiling retirement papers by hand, moving them on carts, and can take over six months, with calculations also done manually. They are implementing a new online retirement process, with 25 retirees currently using it.
They mention cases of single retirees having entire pallets or shopping carts of documents. They want to free up the thousands of people who are carrying paper into a mine. They compare the government's technology to the "Flintstones" era.
The conversation shifts to the postal service, which is legally required to have a balanced budget but has been losing money since 2007 due to additional regulations. The postal service lost $9.5 billion last year. They believe they can modernize it and help them become profitable.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Part two. The exclusive interview with Elon Musk and the Doge Boys. They took us inside the caves of bureaucracy. Watch this. We heard about a cave.
We had federal workers working
Speaker 1: in
Speaker 0: a cave.
Speaker 1: I That's me.
Speaker 0: Yeah. They Joe's actually been to the cave.
Speaker 1: Do do you wanna tell tell us about your your cave your cave your cave cave?
Speaker 0: I wouldn't I wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: you a Spelunking? You're you're spelunking.
Speaker 2: So I've been helping out with with retirement. Been helping out with retirement. And a few weeks ago, had a chance to go to the mine. So I took a golf cart through security down into the side of a mountain and entered daylight left and I entered this whole space of caverns and roads and we get to a metal door and I open it up and there in front of me is a sea of filing cabinets from the nineteen sixties. And I'm walking around, it's super chilly, smells like paper.
And I, you know, I realized for for as a mind, it's it's a great mind. It's secure, it's well lit, temperature controlled. And so the question we're not ask we're asking is not is this a good place to store physical media, which it is. It's amazing for that. The question is why are we still using paper in 2025?
So I brought something to show you Yeah. Of what's inside the mind.
Speaker 1: And and only the the the normal process for retirement is over could be over six months. So once you file your retirement papers, that's why it takes six months.
Speaker 0: Mhmm. What what is that?
Speaker 2: So these are replica case folders that people use to retire from the government. And so these are all compiled by hand, moved around on carts through the mine. It takes many months to do that, and this one is a single retiree's paper required to leave the government.
Speaker 1: So if somebody wants to retire, they can't because it takes six months to compile the paper and carry the paper into a mine where it is stored. And and also, all the calculations are done by hand. Everything has to done by
Speaker 2: Reconciled, adjudicated, this is thicker than the word of the rings trilogy.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And if I had to process this, I would rather do my taxes in the dark than have to go through
Speaker 1: this. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so what we're doing is we're we're bringing this process online with modern software. And I'm excited to share that as of tonight, we have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time.
Speaker 0: It sounds so simple. Yes.
Speaker 2: And and it's great collaboration with retirement services inside OPM. So this has always been their dream and we're just here to help accelerate it.
Speaker 0: That's a pretty fat stack. Was that Kissinger's?
Speaker 1: Oh, no. This the record is almost I mean, shopping carts.
Speaker 0: For
Speaker 2: there's a whole pallet for one retiree with 27 boxes of paper on it.
Speaker 0: For one guy.
Speaker 1: That's the record.
Speaker 2: I've seen it with my
Speaker 0: own eyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's certainly and and and it also frees up people because we we shouldn't have over a thousand people carrying paper into a mine. That that is not a good use of human of people's lives. So there are many other things that they could do that would be far more productive than carrying paper into a mic.
Speaker 0: If you were to say, we have iPhones, does the government have pay phones? Like, prehistoric is this technology?
Speaker 1: Oh, yes. It's it's it's very prehistoric.
Speaker 0: It's like Flintstones. It's Flintstone level stuff.
Speaker 1: It's it's so prehistoric. Like, dinosaurs would think this is, you know, kinda old. Okay. That's how prehistoric it is.
Speaker 0: Okay. So we're
Speaker 1: I mean, basically, the only thing living was a sponge when That's how prehistoric it was.
Speaker 0: Okay. So we're leaving the stone age, and we're moving into the golden age.
Speaker 1: The pre Cambrian era is what we're talking about.
Speaker 0: Okay. There was a story I heard about mules. There were mules delivering mail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Which might not not
Speaker 1: might not be a bad thing, actually.
Speaker 0: You have the mule picture. Yeah. Pics or it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: Right. But this and this this is a case where actually it might not I think do we agree with the mule or or or should should there be I
Speaker 3: think it can be modernized.
Speaker 1: If there's opportunity for improvement.
Speaker 3: Yes. Right. Okay. Right. So, yeah, I I'm at the postal service.
I I think a lot of people don't realize that there's actually a law that says that the post office is supposed to, like, have a balanced budget.
Speaker 1: There is? Yeah. There is. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: that's not working, is it? No. It's not. So So they're breaking the law?
Speaker 3: They're breaking the law. Okay. Basically, since 02/2007, almost every year since 02/2007, they've they've lost money. So you might ask, like, what happened in 02/2007?
Speaker 1: So there was there was What happened in 02/2007?
Speaker 3: Yeah. There was additional regulation Okay. That went into place that essentially crippled them and put them down this, like, not good path where they essentially are stuck in the past as well as bleeding money left and right. Okay. So, like, it's great, and and we appreciate that the postal employees are are willing to go to the hardest parts, like, in this country, but we think that we can we can modernize it and and help them become profitable.
Speaker 1: How much money do they
Speaker 3: Right now, last year, they lost 9 and a half billion dollars. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yep. Serious money.
Speaker 0: We finally meet big balls. Up next.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Government fraud often starts small but escalates over time, with examples including stadium rentals. Investigators become desensitized due to its prevalence. The Small Business Administration gave loans to dead people and those with impossible birthdates, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) spends a large portion of its funds on management and travel rather than grantees, with only a small percentage reaching the intended recipients. There are layers of stealing through contractors and subcontractors.
One contractor was caught advising a colleague to falsify billable hours. Some agencies, like the United States Institute of Peace, have shown extreme resistance, including having loaded guns in their headquarters and a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban. The Institute of Peace's chief accountant deleted a terabyte of accounting records, and unspent funds were swept into a private bank account. The evidence was referred to the FBI and DOJ.
A deferred resignation program offered attractive separation terms, but some were talked out of it. The effort to combat waste and fraud is a long-term enterprise.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Party.
Speaker 1: It's a big party. You'd think if you were stealing, you'd start small. They do start small. But then over what happens is over the years so generally, the fraud starts out small and they try to hide it. But then year after year, if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen.
And and every year it gets bigger until they're literally renting out stadiums. I like in
Speaker 2: I mean, I million dollars to rent out a stadium?
Speaker 1: Fraud infra infragrante delecto. Okay? We're talking at scale.
Speaker 2: This is driving me crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: When you find these things, do you guys get mad? You're like, yes. I got one. How does it how does it make you feel?
Speaker 0: It's so common.
Speaker 1: It's so common. I mean, you just get numb to it. Unfortunately, get like, the hundredth time you've heard it, you it's hard not to get a little numb. Yeah. You know?
But, like and by the two hundredth time, you're like, well, okay. It's just another day at the office.
Speaker 3: We checked, is the small business administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of 20? Yeah. The answer was yes, and it was around $330,000,000 in total.
Speaker 1: So People with a birthday that could not possibly be real. Yeah. Meaning, they're they're over a hundred they're 15 years old or older. The oldest living American is 14. So it's safe to say if anybody is in the system as 115 years or older, that is fake.
Speaker 4: So just by sharing a database and looking at social security numbers, that showed that at the time of the loan, they had listed as over 15
Speaker 1: years old or actually 11. We didn't even check for 18. Babies and dead 11 years old. That's pretty clear. Babies and dead people who were getting loans.
Speaker 4: That was $660,000,000.
Speaker 1: And also people with birth dates in the future.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Well, in one case, I mean, I think the, like the birth date, birth date, I think in one case was like
Speaker 2: Fetuses were getting loans?
Speaker 1: No, not even. No, really sort of like, you're talking about like your great grandchildren. Like with the birth date, like, I think it was like 02/1965. So more than a century from now was the birth date.
Speaker 2: George Jetson was getting paid.
Speaker 1: Yes. Because your birthday is in the future, like the far like the far future, not like next year. Right. And we either this is either fraudulent or we have your birthday wrong. Right.
It's either a typo
Speaker 2: or someone stealing.
Speaker 1: Which is it? Yeah. Right. Yes. You should should at least ask which is it?
Speaker 2: Do you guys feel you're getting justice and accountability?
Speaker 5: One of the the extreme examples of non, accountability in some cases is has occurred at some of the small agencies. I think the Inter American Foundation, IAF, is one of the agencies we visited where, you know, they get $50,000,000 a year congressional money to give grants. These are things like, you know, alpaca farming in Peru, improving them That's
Speaker 1: a that's a real example.
Speaker 5: That's a real description. Improving the marketability of peas in Guatemala. Really? Fruit jam.
Speaker 6: And What? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. So you might expect, you know, in the private sector, a nonprofit to give, you know, 80 to 90% of their money to grantees. In the case of IAF, that was 58%. So the other half goes towards management Oh, yeah.
Travel.
Speaker 1: What what we find exactly I mean, as an example is is that even if you agreed with supporting alpaca farmers in Peru, well, actually most of the money never made it out of DC. Mhmm. It's going into the pockets of people in in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: What percentage And then you get to Peru. Right. So what percentage do you think doesn't even get to the destination it's supposed to?
Speaker 1: I believe the GAO estimates, this is not our estimate. I believe it was on the order of only 10 to 15¢ and the dollar actually gets to the end recipient. Whether you agree with that cause or not.
Speaker 2: So they're just stealing the money before it even gets anywhere.
Speaker 1: There's layers of stealing. So there's like, there's the first layer of stealing, second layer of stealing, third layer of stealing. Subcontractor, subcontractor. Yeah. Exactly.
Contractor, subcontractor, subcontractor. It's like peeling an onion. And then maybe, and sometimes it's zero. Just flat, you get to the bottom of the onion. There's nothing there.
Speaker 2: So maybe no one got a sex change in Guatemala.
Speaker 1: It's possible that no one got a sex change in Guatemala.
Speaker 0: I overheard a contractor tell one of her colleagues to falsify billable hours by creating a PowerPoint to mask a delay in the onboarding process in front of me. And this is like hour zero at this agency. And so, I mean, this is just a common theme that you take a look at these contracts, you take a look at these grants, and it's veiled in noble rhetoric. You know, it's at the top level. It's like It sounds good.
Yeah. It sounds amazing. And then you actually just follow what is the what are the funds actually doing?
Speaker 1: Or send us a picture.
Speaker 0: Exactly. And
Speaker 1: The the send us a picture request is incredibly good at like, Pixar didn't happen. And then and then like and and it wouldn't be that hard to just frankly, they could search for for some fake pics on the Internet or get AI to generate the pics, but they don't even bother doing that.
Speaker 2: So you you caught them cold billing fraud?
Speaker 0: Oh, I caught them her advising her colleague to do this because it takes a few days to onboard. So that is being investigated right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, generally, like, like these programs, these grants are gonna be like along the lines of save the baby pandas. And it's like, well, of course, who wouldn't wanna save the baby pandas? And, you know, in some cases they've got a show panda, which they will try it out for special occasions. In a lot of cases, don't even have a show panda.
No panda. There's not even one panda because we asked for pictures and we don't even get one panda. And he's like, well, you gotta well, that's a lot of you know, what's a billion dollars get you? Does not even get you one panda?
Speaker 2: You really wanna see a baby panda?
Speaker 1: Yeah. That will like, you know, like the Ebola money. We're like, okay. Well, we agree with like, we shouldn't have Ebola. You know?
Where is the money going? Oh, it's going to Deloitte in DC. Like, what what is an accounting firm doing with Ebola money?
Speaker 2: What has been the biggest resistance? Is there one agency? Is there one department that when you guys walk in, they all start fighting you, start hiding
Speaker 1: Wait, who gonna talk? I'm sorry. But I guess you can answer that question. Sure. I mean, let's let's yes.
We've we've certainly had some battles. Battles? Yeah. Yeah. I mean Yeah.
Speaker 6: The the
Speaker 1: Who who should talk about you, sir? NAID. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So, Jesse, there's there's NAID. It's a small agency called the United States Institute of Peace. It's definitely the agency we had the most fight at. We actually went into the agency and found that they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters.
Institute for Peace. It's two for peace.
Speaker 1: I mean, any given company any given organizational name is gonna be kinda be the opposite of the title. Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. And so it was the by far the least peaceful agency that we've worked with Yeah. Ironically.
Speaker 1: Of
Speaker 6: course. Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things like private jets, and they even had a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban. This is this is real. We don't encounter that at most agencies.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What was the money going to the Taliban for?
Speaker 6: So it was a contractor. They received a hundred and $30,000 for generic services. And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear description of what the contractor services were for. But was it for opium? Unclear.
Speaker 1: Or weapons?
Speaker 6: Or nothing. Or or nothing. Or or abroad.
Speaker 1: Or, yeah, nothing. And and
Speaker 6: you naturally have to ask the question, how did we get here? Like, when the country was founded, there were only four agencies. Today, there are over 400. So there's been a 100 x increase in the number of agencies since the founding of the nation. And thanks to president Trump, he's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce the number of agencies in the government, and the institute of peace was one of them, which is why our team went in to try and understand what was going on.
And that's when we found all of the craziness like the weapons in their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban. Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The the accountants here. Oh, yeah. So just try to hide hide the evidence.
Speaker 6: Right. So just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that? And the Doge team, fortunately, was able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most troubling thing was they received $55,000,000 a year from congress and any money that went unspent instead of returning that to congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account, which had no congressional oversight and that's what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think it's a great example because most most Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of these smaller agencies and this is a I think the most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that we're finding.
Speaker 2: So the agencies are hiding money from you. They're sending it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department buildings.
Speaker 6: At the Institute of Peace.
Speaker 2: At the Institute of Peace. Yeah.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 2: So this is a cover up when you guys roll in?
Speaker 1: This one, yes, a cover up. Yes. It's a cover up. They did delete a vast amount of financial information. That's really a definition of a cover up.
Speaker 2: Isn't that illegal to delete evidence?
Speaker 1: Yes. Documents?
Speaker 6: It is. It's it's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that the that congress would certainly want to know where where the congressionally appropriate funds are going from from taxpayers.
Speaker 2: When you catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you refer this to the Department of Justice?
Speaker 6: In this case, we did refer the evidence in the accounting example to the FBI and DOJ. We were proud to do that. So, yes, we did.
Speaker 3: Resistance has shown up in some very surprising places. So for example, the famous fork in the road email, the deferred resignation program. So this was a program where you could resign from the government, collect pay and benefits for the next eight months. Probably the most attractive separation program ever in human history. And the resistance actually came from the outside with people saying this is a trick.
And I've heard somebody refer to it as an apple with a razor blade. And, no, this was just a really juicy apple, caramel dipped apple. It it it was that good, but people were talked out of out of taking it. And now what started to happen is we did have about 80,000 people take it, and now those folks who did take it are on the beach or they've moved on to a new job and they're still getting paid. And so now we're starting to offer fork two and fork three where people can see that someone's eaten this apple and it was actually really tasty and good for them.
Speaker 2: Is Doze just getting started? Is this is a long term enterprise.
Speaker 1: It's a long term enterprise that because if if we take our eye off the ball, the waste and fraud will come roaring back.
Speaker 2: They can doge doge when democrats get back in power? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think some of the things that like, we're we're trying to have it be such that the the funding is is removed, so the grants gone. So there's it that if there's a lot of work required to restart the waste of fraud. And and that that will at least slow it down.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk shows primetime, the cave, the money faucet, and the stone age phones. Right back.

Speaker 0: Now more of my interview with president Trump. Moving on to Doge, judge Theodore Chuang is a federal district court judge in Maryland, has ruled against the Trump administration's efforts, mister president, to shut down USAID, ordering the government, on an accelerated basis to basically reinstate the agency's statutory functions. Your reaction to this development?
Speaker 1: Look at the fraud that we've caught. We've caught so much fraud, so much waste, so many employees that never showed up to work, and we have a judge from a very liberal state who ruled like that. So bad for our country.
Speaker 0: So I guess they closed the department. They're gonna have to reopen the department.
Speaker 1: It, I guess. Not I guess. I guarantee you. We will be appealing it. We have rogue judges that are destroying our country.
Speaker 0: Well, do you believe that at this point, given the totality of these lawsuits, it's a cavalcade of lawsuits, that your administration could be further hampered, your agenda could be slowed down. They're throwing monkey wrenches at you with these judicial rulings.
Speaker 1: Well, we have to go through an appellate process. That takes a long time. We have a judge that
Speaker 0: Do you have time?
Speaker 1: We have a judge. That's the point. We have time. We're gonna be making a lot of money because of tariffs. The good news is we've got it on we're going to very soon be on an even keel.
We're gonna be taking in a lot of money, The Trump card, the gold card, whatever they wanna call it, it's okay with me. Whatever's gonna sell better is fine with me. It'd be nice to get a piece, but I don't get a piece. Okay? I get nothing out of it.
All I do is wanna make this country successful again. We're taking in tremendous amounts of money. We have car companies that are building here who, six months ago, we're gonna build in Mexico, massive plants. They're building them in The United States. We have Honda.
It's going to Indiana. We have them opening up in Michigan. It's amazing what's happening.
Speaker 0: But judges for federal judges, district court judges, to order a sitting president to reinstate fired employees that you're the chief executive officer of The United States. You you order that these were agencies
Speaker 1: to be reviewed. Employees, many of whom didn't even report to work, many of whom were scamming this country. And you you see the same thing. Could read them off, and I did during various speeches. I read off deal after deal after deal, all big scams.
And we have a guy that wants to make a name for himself. You know, in many cases, they're just grandstanders. They wanna make a name for themselves. So we'll appeal it, and hopefully, we will meet with reasonable appeals. You know, I've won great cases on appeals.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Well, some of the maybe people weren't fired. Maybe they were temporarily put on suspended. So we'll see how this plays out, but he's very unhappy with what happened at USAID.
Speaker 1: Well, he shouldn't be. You know what he should do? He should really look at where the money went. They don't ever do wanna do that. You know, the Democrats always talk about, oh, our constitution's been violent.
The one thing they never talk about is where did these billions of dollars go? They never wanna look because when you see where the money went and the scams, it's you don't even have to see anything. Just look at the heading and the scam that they've created, and a judge like him will never look at that. They'll just say, oh, you wanna it sounds so nice. USAID.
Isn't it beautiful? But it's a whole big scam, Laura. And a judge like that is so bad for our country.
Speaker 0: Well, it'd be interesting to see whether you're able to shrink the size of this government. Every Republican president has claimed a desire to. Even Obama said we have to find waste, fraud, and abuse, but you're doing it the judges are trying to stop you.
Speaker 1: We're it. By the way, we're doing it at levels never seen before.
Speaker 0: Lunatics are setting fire to Teslas all across the country. Another horrible incident happened in Las Vegas last night. The FBI is on the scene investigating, and there is an ongoing investigation being led by Pam Bondi. In in in what you've seen so far, do you consider what's happening an act of domestic political terrorism against one of your allies?
Speaker 1: So Elon is a patriot. And, again, I I hardly knew Elon until the, you know, election. And he turned out that he liked me better than he liked these radical lunatics that were in it, better than Kamala, better than Joe, you know, because he's an intelligent person. He like and he backed me, and he went, and he got very much involved. He thought he actually would go around saying if Trump doesn't win, our country is over.
Speaker 0: But do you consider this an act of domestic terrorism?
Speaker 1: I think I think so. Why? I think that if and when they catch the people, and I hope they do, the good thing is they have a lot of cameras in those places, and they've caught some already having to do with that. I think that you will find out that they're paid by people that are very highly political on the left.
Speaker 0: Meanwhile, it's because of Elon Musk. Everything he did with SpaceX that those astronauts, stranded for nine months, they're finally coming home. Mister president, your reaction to what's unfolding.
Speaker 1: So when I came in office, I said, Elon, we gotta get them out. Do you have a rocket ship handy? How many people have a rocket? And Biden left them up. He abandoned them.
You know, we could have done this sooner, but Biden didn't want to because he was embarrassed by what happened. So they were up there. They were supposed to be there for a few days. They were there for many months. And now they're coming back.
But think of it. Elon's able to do that with his genius, and you have people that hate it. And I really believe these are people that hate our country. It's a big problem. But, you know, they don't there aren't so many of them.
There are many more that love our country, and they love our country now more than they have maybe ever in their lives. There's never been a movement like MAGA, like America First, call it, whatever you wanna call it. This is the greatest movement in the history of politics.
Speaker 0: What's the next stop for the astronauts? Are they gonna be coming to the White House?
Speaker 1: No. They're gonna number one, they have to get better. You know, when you're up there and you have no no pull in your muscle, you have no gravity, you can lift a thousand pounds like this. They have to get they have to get better. It's gonna be a little bit tough for them.
It's not easy. You know, they're up a long time. And when they do, they'll come to the Oval Office.
Speaker 0: We have a Fox News alert. President

Speaker 0: Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
Speaker 1: So let me say and I love you back. And I love you back. So let me say my heart is full today. My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for.
But hear me when I say hear me when I say the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting. To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much. To president Biden and doctor Biden, thank you for your faith and support. To governor Walls and the Walls family, I know your service to our nation will continue. And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves, to the poll workers and the local election officials, I thank you.
I thank you all. Look. I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it and the way we ran it over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America's future. And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us. Yeah.
Now I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it. But we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with president-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition, and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.
A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. Yes. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it. At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the constitution of the United States, and loyalty to our conscience and to our God.
My allegiance to all 3 is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people. A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation. The ideals that reflect America at our best. That is a fight I will never give up.
I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations, where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do. We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence. And America, we will never give up the fight for our democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice, and for the sacred idea that every one of us, no matter who we are or where we start out, has certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and upheld. And we will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts, and in the public square. Yeah.
And we will also wage it in quieter ways in how we live our lives by treating one another with kindness and respect, by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbor, by always using our strength to lift people up, to fight for the dignity that all people deserve. The fight for our freedom will take hard work, But like I always say, we like hard work. Hard work is good work. Hard work can be joyful work. And the fight for our country is always worth it.
It is always worth it. To the young people who are watching,
Speaker 0: it is
Speaker 1: I love you. To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it's gonna be okay. On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win. But here's the thing.
Here's the thing. Sometimes, the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win. That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is don't ever give up.
Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power. And don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.
You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.
Look. Many of you know I started out as a prosecutor, and throughout my career, I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives. People who had suffered great harm and great pain. And yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand, to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration.
Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this. There's an adage an historian once called a law of history. True of every society across the ages. The adage is only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing. America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant,000,000,000 of stars. The light the light of optimism, of faith, of truth, and service.
And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America. I thank you all. May god bless you, and may god bless the United States of America. I thank you all.
