The President of the United States is in charge of the government. He appoints advisors, like Elon Musk and others at the White House, to execute his commands across federal agencies. Recently, Elon Musk claimed transparency at Doge, stating their actions are posted on X and their website. Regarding the termination and subsequent rescinding of 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Secretary of Energy would be responsible for those decisions. Under President Trump, the goal is accountability and transparency in federal spending. For example, where did the $22 billion that the Department of Health and Human Services provided to illegal aliens go? That's enough to provide a free house to every homeless veteran in America.

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!

Doge aims to cut the deficit by $1 trillion by reducing waste and fraud, targeting a 15% reduction in federal spending. Astonishingly, billions are wasted routinely, like a billion-dollar charge for a simple online survey. The goal is to cut waste by $4 billion daily, and Doge publishes findings on doge.gov for transparency. A key project involves digitizing the government retirement process, currently a paper-based system housed in a mine with 400 million documents. The aim is to reduce processing time from months to days, offering civil servants a modern experience. Doge is also addressing IT issues, including outdated systems and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. For example, 40% of Social Security phone calls are from fraudsters attempting to steal benefits. Doge aims to improve the system, ensuring legitimate recipients receive their benefits. There are 15-20 million fraudulent social security numbers floating around. Other findings include 27 CIOs at NIH with 700 non-connected IT systems, overstaffing, and a single Treasury bank account for all federal payments, lacking proper oversight. There are 4.6 million government credit cards for 2.3 million employees. Small business loans have been given to those under 11 and over 120 years old.

The Doge team is following the money to make real changes. New York is prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens, but that stops today. Our committee will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government, and present plans to fix these problems. We will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team. This week, we're focusing on improper payments by the federal government, including in Medicaid and Medicare. Elon Musk is showing the country the fraud, waste, and abuse that has been going on for decades, and Americans are cheering. Reciprocal tariffs will make America great again.

Doge is uncovering massive fraud, triggering panic among Democrats who fear their misuse of power will be exposed. We're talking trillions potentially saved by cracking down on fake identities used to steal taxpayer benefits. Remember when Biden hired 87,000 IRS agents and then had the IRS audit Hegseth? Now, we're auditing the auditors, upgrading outdated software. We're also scrutinizing questionable spending like millions on gender equality hubs, strengthening political landscapes in Bangladesh, and voter turnout in India and Liberia. Why are we spending so much money on other countries' elections? While we're cutting headcount and saving money, the media is busy defending the indefensible like Germany's censorship and wasteful government spending. The left is defending the indefensible and the Democrats have become so toxic that Politico is warning them to stay out of the way.

The Doge father is shaking up the federal government, with over 40,000 bureaucrats taking buyouts in just three weeks, saving taxpayers millions. Elon Musk and his team are streamlining agencies, including a drastic cut at USAID from 10,000 to 300 employees. Federal workers express fear of retribution, while others feel proud of their work. Critics highlight the hypocrisy of media outlets like CNN, which previously supported job cuts but now lament federal layoffs. The government has been accused of wasteful spending, funding projects like Sesame Street in Iraq and transgender studies on animals. There's a call for transparency and efficiency in government spending, with promises to eliminate fraud and reduce costs. The narrative suggests that the current administration's actions are part of a larger effort to expose and dismantle long-standing corruption within federal agencies.

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.

Doge is seeking candidates with backgrounds in politics, law, and technology for the Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at reducing waste in federal government. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami will conduct interviews in later rounds. Senator Joni Ernst is leading the Senate Doge caucus and has presented President-elect Trump with a list of potential cuts totaling $1 trillion. Proposed measures include consolidating vacant government office space, collecting overdue taxes from IRS employees, reclaiming pandemic relief funds misused by fraudsters, and ending funding for what Ernst deems unnecessary science projects, like a study involving shrimp on treadmills. This represents immediate opportunities for cost-saving.

Elon Musk invited a group to observe his weekly Doge meeting, where they discussed government waste and fraud. A key issue was the lack of receipt requirements for a $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education, leading to funds being used for parties and stadium rentals. Even when receipts were required, they didn't need to be legitimate, yet requests stopped. The Small Business Administration gave loans to dead people and even fetuses. The Inter American Foundation (IAF) spends only 58% of its funds on grantees, like alpaca farmers in Peru, with much of the money remaining in DC. Only 10-15 cents of each dollar reaches the intended recipient due to layers of stealing. The United States Institute of Peace was cited as the agency with the most resistance, including loaded guns in their headquarters and a $130,000 contract with a former member of the Taliban for unclear services. The agency's chief accountant deleted a terabyte of records, later recovered, and unspent funds were diverted to a private bank account. Doge is a long-term enterprise to combat waste and fraud, with the goal of making it difficult to restart.

We're streamlining the federal government, and already over 40,000 federal bureaucrats have taken buyouts, saving taxpayers millions. Elon Musk and his team are cutting bloat, and Secretary of State Rubio has significantly reduced USAID staff. The media is calling this the "Trumppocalypse," while Democrats express concerns about the speed and precision of these changes, worrying about psychological warfare and retribution. But many feel that it is about time after years of tiptoeing around DEI and seeing our money wasted. Democrats are now criticizing government audits, yet they're shocked when we address wasteful spending, like millions on foreign projects. We're putting the government on a diet. Fraudsters complain the loudest when someone is actually doing something about fraud. We're exposing government theft, like millions spent on trans surgeries in Guatemala and studies on transgender animals, because the Democrats have been sucking off the teat of government for decades.

I've issued a deadline for agencies to submit waste reduction plans. Failure to comply will result in tech support intervention, which is essentially what my team is doing – fixing outdated government computer systems. We aim to find a trillion dollars in savings to prevent national bankruptcy. Every agency will have a "mini Elon Musk" to justify spending. We're freezing government credit cards for 30 days and doing a pulse check via email to see if employees are real and responsive, we suspect some are dead or even fictional. Some people are upset with our aid to Ukraine which has been spent on things like fashion shows, wine, and cheese puffs. Providing money to LGBTQ individuals in Serbia is also coming under fire. Some are questioning the loyalty of Elon Musk because of this. The Biden years proved we don't even need an active president, because institutions are running everything behind the scenes.

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.

Donald Trump recently announced the formation of a new Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. However, it's important to note that only Congress can establish federal departments. Trump's move appears to promote Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency he supports, which has seen a significant rise recently. Musk and Ramaswamy plan to cut $500 billion from the federal budget and reduce the federal workforce by 95%, arguing that many employees are unnecessary due to anticipated deregulations. This could lead to unregulated financial markets and environmental concerns, as well as impacts on healthcare access.

Do any of you still like America? It's shocking that people are upset about Doge while our government has been wasting money on ridiculous projects for years. For example, $7 million on magic studies, $1.5 million using kittens to study motion sickness, and $6.9 million on smart toilets that recognize users. We spent $118,000 to see if a metal Thanos could snap his fingers and $75,000 on a study of lizards blown off trees with leaf blowers. In 2023, $150.7 billion went to those protesting and burning flags. If you don’t like America, feel free to leave. Those in power are benefiting from this global money laundering, and it’s time to reconsider where you stand.

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.

The speaker discusses Matt Van Swal's summary of the "Doge situation," claiming Doge is one of the most popular government initiatives ever. According to the summary, 73% of Americans support cutting government waste, and Trump brought in "the smartest man on earth" to do it. However, the left allegedly destroyed Elon Musk for his involvement, and the GOP won't vote on it. Elon Musk responded to the post with "did my best." The speaker expresses frustration that Congress will not codify the savings, despite Musk's efforts. The speaker notes Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to get it codified. The speaker believes Congress thwarting the effort is a tragedy.

The DOGE program is targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for example. They have a budget of about $280 billion a year, but less than 25% goes to educating students. The other $220 billion goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate money back to Democrats, NGOs—it's money laundering. You can find this in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he is cutting spending, he doesn't have the authority to do that, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund, and attaching a number to it. We then put a preamble on the front of that report and say every agency's budget will be cut by X amount as shown in the report, and none of those programs can continue.

The DOGE program is definitely targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for instance. They have a $280 billion budget, but less than 25% actually goes to educating students. The other $220 billion? It goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate back to Democrats, more consultants, and NGOs. It's money laundering at its finest, and you'll find it in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he has the authority to cut spending, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund and assigning a number to each. We'll add a preamble, cut each agency's budget by a set amount based on the report, and halt those programs for good.

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."
