If you oppose Elon Musk and Doge's federal audit, you're involved in money laundering. We deserve to know how our tax dollars are spent. The government's wasteful spending is outrageous; they spend money on ridiculous things, like studying Thanos' snap and animal surgeries. They also wasted billions in USAID. It's time for a federal audit—a 10% audit is needed because the government is constantly interfering in our lives. Finally, someone is holding them accountable. Tomorrow's Super Bowl will feature Elon Musk's $40 million ad campaign exposing government waste. This is fantastic news!

President Trump promised to shut down the retirement cave, a promise highlighted with Elon Musk in the Oval Office, exposing the federal retirement system's antiquated processes. The media's silence revealed their ignorance of this issue. We're shining a light on government corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse, delivering on what 77 million Americans voted for. We are directing departments to cancel contracts not aligned with the "America First" agenda, scrutinizing every line to ensure they advance American interests. The majority of these contracts are a waste of taxpayer money. We are treating the government like a business, unlike past unnamed bureaucrats who freely wrote checks. The receipts are there, like the $2.5 million for cow flatulence reduction. We are discovering and exposing the misuse of American taxpayer funds. We have nothing to hide and will continue to reveal these issues at every briefing.

We're keeping our promises. President Trump is the first in a long time to actually deliver. Democrats and the media are losing it over our commitment to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy. I want to set the record straight. President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Doge team to investigate fraud at the Social Security Administration. We suspect millions in fraudulent payments are going to deceased individuals. Our goals are to identify and end duplicate payments, stop payments to the deceased, and protect the system for hardworking Americans who have paid into it. If you've paid in honestly, you'll continue to receive your checks. Don't believe the fake news trying to scare you. We're protecting your hard-earned money.

We've discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients who shouldn't have received them. This is just one example of the fraud, waste, and abuse we're identifying daily. Elon Musk highlighted Social Security payments being made to deceased individuals, which is clearly fraudulent. We're also finding contracts where, for instance, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was actually spent. Where did the remaining funds go? These are the issues we're addressing daily. This is exactly what President Trump promised to do during his campaign, and we are delivering on that promise.

This hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Our national debt is $36 trillion, and the compounding interest is growing out of control, projected to exceed our entire military budget. These interest payments don't serve Americans; they enslave us to those who own our debt, driving inflation and crippling small businesses. This debt results from Congress and elected administrations, betraying the American people. Unlike private businesses that depend on customer service and smart financial management, the federal government takes our tax dollars regardless of its performance. We must tackle this problem together, setting aside political theater. This subcommittee will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team, starting with improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare. The American people are watching.

This hearing aims to bring transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Our national debt is $36 trillion, and the compounding interest is growing out of control. Interest payments will exceed our entire military budget. This debt enslaves Americans and drives inflation. It stems from Congress and elected administrations, betraying the American people. Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, arose from this betrayal. Unlike private businesses, the federal government doesn't rely on customer service to earn income; it takes your money regardless. There are no consequences for failure or for the ever-growing national debt. We must tackle this issue together, setting aside political differences to save our nation. We will fight waste alongside President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team, focusing on improper payments in programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

Doge arrived at the IRS and is now helping review government spending, starting with NASA. We're planning to slash departments by 30-40% if they can't justify their headcount and selling unused federal buildings. We've discovered taxpayer money is being used to fund things like Palestinian hip hop and bizarre animal experiments. The Department of Health and Human Services has also spent billions on cars and homes for migrants. The EPA was caught rushing to spend tax dollars on questionable projects, including a climate fund with a now-deleted board of directors page. Trump's administration is offering buyouts to federal workers, and 75,000 have already accepted. We're addressing government waste and fraud that has been ongoing for years. The goal is to reform and cut wasteful spending.

Doge's goal is to cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion by reducing waste and fraud, aiming for a 15% reduction in federal spending without affecting critical services. They claim to routinely find wastes of a billion dollars or more, citing a $1 billion survey example. Doge aims to cut $4 billion a day in waste and fraud. A key project involves digitizing the government retirement process, currently a paper-based system housed in a mine with 400 million documents. The goal is to reduce processing time from months to days. Doge is also addressing fraudulent Social Security claims, including instances of benefits being stolen and payments made to deceased individuals. They aim to ensure legitimate recipients receive more benefits, not less. Doge is working to modernize government IT systems, including those at NIH, where there are 27 different CIOs and 700 IT systems that don't communicate. They are also addressing duplicative functions and overstaffing across various agencies, such as the IRS. The Treasury is implementing stricter financial controls to prevent fraud and improper payments, which amount to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. They are reviewing contracts and grants, citing examples of wasteful spending, such as a customer service survey contract. Elon Musk addressed violence against Tesla dealerships, attributing it to propaganda from the far left. He also defended his criticism of Senator Mark Kelly's stance on Ukraine, stating that officials should prioritize the interests of the United States.

I spent over an hour and a half with Vivek and Elon, discussing numerous ideas that left us both laughing and shaking our heads at the waste we uncovered. It's clear that the introduction of Doge is timely. We're committed to implementing pro-growth economic policies while also tackling government waste, fraud, and abuse. Our system is shifting from a democracy to a bureaucracy, and that needs to change.

There's massive fraud in this country, including foreign nationals using fake social security numbers and identities to steal billions in taxpayer benefits. By clamping down on this fraud in our tax and entitlement systems, we could save over a trillion dollars. Doge are subordinate staffers of the federal government and political appointees that serve and answer to the president. They will analyze and assess for signs and symptoms of fraud and how IT systems are failing to detect it. We need to protect the integrity of these systems that Americans rely on. We are restoring neutrality, ethics, and accountability to the IRS to identify large-scale fraud, unfair politicization, and unfair targeting. We want to ensure confidence in the IRS and that no dollars are being stolen from the American people.

I welcome Elon Musk to come to the briefing room, as he provided great answers and common sense yesterday in the Oval Office regarding Doge. There's no lack of transparency; Doge has an X account, a website posting contracts and stopped payments, making our government efficient. Before, it was unnamed bureaucrats. Now, Musk is under scrutiny for his access, but we're transparent and happy to provide receipts. Here are examples: a DEI contract for US citizenship, a contract for inclusive innovation, and climate change spending in Sri Lanka. These are line items Doge identifies daily. We're providing transparency about Doge's findings, like the Federal Employee Retirement System processing in Pennsylvania. These actions are fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars, contrary to the President's agenda.

Chairman Marcia Taylor Green's subcommittee discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients. These payments went to individuals who should not have received them. Doge is identifying fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Elon Musk mentioned Social Security payments being sent to deceased individuals. There are also contracts where, for example, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was disbursed, raising questions about the missing funds. Doge is actively addressing these issues. President Trump campaigned on this and is delivering on that promise.

The American people are tired of their tax dollars being wasted. For the first time, this president is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. If you agree there is waste, abuse, and corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts and reforms that are being instituted? We are saving Americans billions of dollars and ending the theft, waste, grift, and corruption. We are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. We care about this issue. The American public overwhelmingly supports what President Trump is doing.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Tomorrow, I will hold a news conference to reveal the names of entities receiving hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. If you believe these entities deserve the funding, you shouldn't be a reporter. Billions are being wasted illegally, and I believe kickbacks are involved. When someone gets millions for a mere fifteen-minute assessment, that money is coming back somehow. This corruption significantly harms our country through massive expenditures. I reviewed 200 expenditures and found only three reasonable. We'll discuss this further tomorrow. I commend Elon Musk; despite daily abuse, he has uncovered more than anyone else. His team of geniuses, starting with 12 and now almost a hundred, is helping expose massive fraud.

There's tremendous fraud and abuse happening, and I'm holding a news conference tomorrow to reveal some of the entities that have received hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. It's hard to believe this kind of fraud can occur. When you see billions being wasted illegally, there's likely kickbacks or corruption involved. Millions are given for minimal effort, and that money comes back in some form. They're spending massive amounts of money on ridiculous items. Out of 200 expenditures I reviewed, only three seemed reasonable. I commend Elon for his work in uncovering this fraud. He doesn't need to do this, especially with the abuse he faces. He and his team, which started with 12 people and has now grown to almost a hundred, have found more than anyone else could. People are joining to help because there's massive fraud.

I'd love for Elon Musk to come to the briefing room; that's why we had him in the Oval Office yesterday. Trump and Musk have been incredibly transparent about what Doge is doing. They tweet daily and post receipts of reviewed contracts and stopped payments on their website. Before Musk, it was an unnamed bureaucrat. Now, as a scrutinized figure, Musk is providing access and transparency. We're happy to provide receipts, and I've brought some today: a $36,000 DEI contract for US citizenship and immigration services, a $3.4 million DEI contract for inclusive innovation, and $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the line items Doge is identifying daily. We're happy to show you the paperwork. Here’s a tweet about the Federal Employee Retirement System being processed in a Pennsylvania mine. We are providing transparency and accessibility daily.

I welcome Elon Musk to the briefing room, as he provided great insights in the Oval Office yesterday, speaking in layman's terms. There is no lack of transparency with Doge. Trump and Musk are transparent about Doge's work, with an active X account and website posting contract receipts and stopped payments. Before Musk, an unnamed bureaucrat handled government efficiency. Musk, now highly scrutinized, provides great access. We're happy to provide receipts and are not hiding anything. Here are screenshots of contracts Doge found, like a $36,000 DEI contract for US citizenship and immigration services, a $3,400,000 DEI contract, and $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. Doge identifies these line items daily. We're transparent about Doge's work, including tweets about the Federal Employee Retirement System in Pennsylvania. We provide daily transparency and accessibility.

This Wednesday, the DOGE subcommittee on oversight, working with the Department of Justice, will hold its first hearing. We'll be investigating improper Medicare payments made to deceased individuals and criminals internationally. Eliminating this fraud could save hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. This isn't a partisan issue; it's about saving American money. While this is work that should have been done long ago, I'm hopeful Republicans and Democrats can come together to address this problem. We’ll see how it goes.

We're kicking off the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge to tackle government waste, fraud, and abuse. Our national debt is $36 trillion, a staggering amount that's growing out of control due to compounding interest. By 2025, interest payments could exceed our entire military budget, reaching $1.8 trillion by 2035. This debt, a betrayal by elected officials, is enslaving Americans and fueling inflation. Unlike private businesses, the federal government faces no consequences for failure, taking our tax dollars regardless of performance. Congress's low approval reflects public disgust, and we must act. This subcommittee, comprised of both Republicans and Democrats, will work with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team to combat waste. This week, we're focusing on improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare, seeking solutions to this crisis.

I had two questions regarding tariff revenue and the IRS. President Trump discussed replacing income tax with tariff revenue to combat waste, fraud, and abuse. The China tariff revenue, estimated between $500 billion and a trillion dollars over ten years, should facilitate the passage of a Republican bill. I also asked about comments regarding cutting $50 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse by unelected bureaucrats. The narrative from the president's critics is that Elon Musk is an unelected bureaucrat. Is one of Doge's objectives to get rid of the federal bureaucracy? The executive power is vested in the president. The existential threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy. President Trump is removing federal bureaucrats who defy democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders, which are the will of the whole American people.

We're uncovering massive fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Recently, it was discovered that there were $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas. Social Security payments are even going to deceased individuals. We're also seeing contracts where the full amount wasn't delivered. For example, a million-dollar contract might only see $500,000 distributed, and we're working to find where the rest of the money went. This is exactly what I campaigned on, and what 77 million people elected me to do.

Doge has saved at least $170-200 billion. On day one in the White House, they had to stop a payment, but nobody knew where the computer was that wired the money. There was a lot of waste and grift in the federal government. Many people were "slurping." Humanitarian programs send money for medicine and food, but the money is contracted out, and there are three or four middlemen. Marco Rubio estimated that 88 cents of every dollar was collected by middlemen, so only 12 cents made it to the people who needed it. Elon Musk was doing it for free because he doesn't need money.

There are no Doge cuts, and this is not USAID. The speaker is talking about waste and fraud, specifically in Medicaid, and claims no one has been turned over to the DOJ for fraud. Elon Musk gave false hope to a political class that doesn't want to cut anything. The big bill has problems, but it passed because Musk promised a trillion dollars. The rescission next week is $9 billion, with $2 billion from PBS and NPR. There's supposedly $7 billion in fraud on a $7 trillion budget. Musk committed $1 trillion to the President, leading to questions about whether it's all "BS."

Good afternoon. We're here today to evict Doge and Elon Musk from the Office of Personnel Management and declare that Doge is done. We're fighting to protect the merit-based civil service and the rights, resources, and protections it provides. DEI, or diversity, equity, and inclusion, is under attack, but it truly stands for civil rights. This is an illegal operation, dismantling services important to every American family. Elon Musk spent millions to elect Donald Trump, and now Trump is giving Musk control of federal agencies. We need to expose this corrupt bargain and fight back against this betrayal.
