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.

We're not debating whether there's waste in government; everyone agrees on that. The issue is how we're addressing it. Firing staff overseeing nuclear weapons, only to realize the mistake and try to bring them back, seems clumsy. It's like using a sledgehammer to remove fat from a steak, making a mess. You're focusing on the messenger, not the results. Under the Biden administration, someone in charge of nuclear secrets, who stole women's luggage, wasn't questioned. Humans make mistakes, but these programs are bloated. People are upset about returning to work, but no one disagrees there's bloat. Why aren't you exposing wasteful spending like the $10 million for circumcisions in Mozambique? You only focus on Elon Musk and Donald Trump, which is why your ratings are down.

So, we're from the Department of Government Efficiency, and we're here because we have no idea what you guys actually do around here. Where's the gold, where's the money going and how many 50-year-olds are you paying every month? All the funds are allocated, but what exactly are they allocated for? Also, why do 50,000 federal employees owe $1.5 billion in taxes? After an audit of the IRS, we found you owe $50 million. What about your chief of the flat office navigation team getting paid $20,000,000 a year to find the edge of the office? I want to see every receipt. If I find out even one cent went to funding secret IRS strip clubs, I'll throw you in the deepest, darkest prison cell in America! Ultimately, we're going to fire some people, abolish the IRS, and turn IRS workers into ICE workers.

You mentioned wanting to eliminate 600 NIH workers on day one and 2,200 from HHS. Which departments will you cut from? There are 200 political appointees that change with each administration. If you remove those, will you replace them with your appointees? President Biden changed 3,000 employees at HHS. As a potential top health official, will you commit to not firing federal employees working on food safety or cyber protection? There are 91,000 employees. So, will you ensure those working on food safety and cyber security keep their jobs? I commit not to fire anyone doing their job. Will this commitment be based on your opinion or political agenda? It will be based on my opinion. So, it seems those with differing views on vaccines may be at risk of losing their jobs.

The people want an active government that doesn't waste money. To deliver change, we're reorganizing the government to save taxpayer dollars. We're cutting the federal bureaucracy by 100,000 positions through attrition and reducing administrative costs by 12%. Unproductive advisory commissions will be eliminated, and agencies can't create new ones without approval. Government regulations and procurement rules hurt the system, so we will cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, and change these rules to make government work better. This includes downsizing the government, improving customer service, and overhauling federal procurement and personnel systems. The goal is to make government work for the people, eliminate unnecessary programs, and reduce the federal workforce. We're committed to cutting spending and reducing the deficit to ensure a stronger economy for the future.

The federal government isn't a company to dismantle. It requires constitutional adherence, not a Shark Tank takeover approach. The government is fat and hasn't been scrutinized in a century. An individual is willing to do this work for free, but isn't cutting enough. In private equity, when dealing with a broken company, you cut deep and fast, then rehire. He should cut 20% more. It's all fat and waste. You can't be surgically precise, you have to cut more because you don't know. We've never audited government for a hundred years.

I think it's a great idea to challenge federal employees on their accomplishments. Private businesses do this all the time to ensure accountability and show the work that's been done. The federal government should do the same. Some people are upset because they probably haven't done much and can't show their work. I've been contacted by people upset that they have to go back to work because they've moved and assumed they could work from home indefinitely. The post-COVID days are over. We need to get people back to work, show what they're doing, and demonstrate government efficiencies, which haven't been done in a while.

As governor, I saw firsthand government waste, but what Elon is finding is stunning. One agency had 13,000 employees but 37,000 software licenses, many unused. With millions of federal employees and credit cards, the opportunities for fraud are immense. Shockingly, there are millions of dead people still in the Social Security system. We need to address the low-hanging fruit. Keep good employees but eliminate unnecessary positions. I was in a meeting where it was revealed there are more government credit cards than employees, and the number of people on Social Security rolls is incredible. Checks go out automatically, and nobody is checking. Contract officers retire, but the money keeps flowing. Even diligent companies struggle to stop improper payments. Agencies like USAID don't track appropriations. Basic changes are needed to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

To reduce the size of government, I plan a 75% reduction in federal employees during my first term, with 50% cut in the first year. This includes shutting down agencies like the FBI, IRS, ATF, CDC, and Department of Education. Reviving the integrity of our constitutional republic requires this action. If elected president, I believe in term limits for bureaucrats, just as I would have a limit on my own term. As a CEO, I know that if employees can't be fired, they don't truly work for you. This approach will ensure accountability and efficiency in government.

That email was really just a pulse check, like, do you have a pulse and at least two neurons? If so, you should be able to reply. It's not a high bar. We're trying to figure out if some people on the government payroll are actually dead, which would explain their unresponsiveness. Or if they're not even real people, but fictional characters someone's cashing checks on. So, are these employees real? Are they alive? Can they send an email? That's what we're trying to determine, and I think it's a reasonable expectation for the American public to have.

We're committed to streamlining the federal government, just like running a business. We're carefully reviewing every expense to ensure we're only spending on what truly benefits America. That's our focus. Any claims to the contrary are simply scare tactics from the left, who lack a coherent message and are, frankly, out of touch with reality.

I sent an email as a pulse check, not a performance review. The bar to clear was simply having a pulse and two neurons, enough to reply. We're trying to determine if individuals on the government payroll are real and alive, and able to write an email. We suspect some may be dead or even fictional, yet someone is collecting their paychecks. The American public reasonably expects public sector employees to meet this basic requirement of being real and responsive.

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.

This report outlines how to cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, change procurement and personnel rules, and create a more efficient and cost-effective government. Where the report recommends action, I will act. This includes eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging agencies like the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and closing hundreds of government offices outside of Washington. From day one, I committed to rooting out wasteful spending. We must systematically eliminate waste, even if it means cutting worthy programs we can't currently afford. While much action requires congressional approval, we don't need to wait. We've launched our campaign to cut waste independently because Congress hasn't acted enough. We will continue finding ways to cut waste, regardless of congressional action.

What this person has done is unbelievable. He's found hundreds of billions of dollars in fake contracts; I even read a tiny portion of them the other night. The money they're spending is a scam, and it's all coming back to the people who made those deals. He's also made people realize how many people should be cut. Instead of the usual 4% workforce reduction, he suggests 50%, 60%, even 70%. He's done a great job but is paying a price for it. Despite the personal cost, he's a real patriot opening a lot of eyes.

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.

As part of our core mission to secure the nation and spend taxpayer dollars wisely, we're executing President Trump's priorities: peace through strength, restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence. We're welcoming Doge to help find fraud, waste, and abuse, and eliminate non-essential Biden priorities. We're reorienting our budget away from those priorities to build a lethal fighting force. This involves pulling funds from non-lethal programs and reinvesting in Trump's America-first priorities. Key programs like border activities, nuclear modernization, and cybersecurity are protected. Finally, we're reevaluating our probationary workforce to ensure mission-critical contributions and accountability. We'll identify and eliminate redundancies, focusing on retaining the best and brightest employees based on merit. We're committed to communicating directly with you about these decisions.

I've identified leakers within the organization, and we're actively uncovering more. Let me be clear: these individuals will be terminated, and they will face serious repercussions. Leaking information to the press, especially when it jeopardizes operations, puts law enforcement lives at grave risk, potentially leaving families without their loved ones. We're employing every available tactic, including polygraphs, email analysis, and communication monitoring, to identify these individuals. It's astonishing how these bureaucrats, driven by their agendas to undermine our mission of ensuring American safety, will betray one another to protect themselves. Rest assured, I am fully committed to finding and removing these leakers to ensure the safety of our law enforcement officers and agents, and to enable us to continue our vital work.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism regarding staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you instructed Musk on what he cannot do? We haven't discussed specifics much. Musk has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can identify issues quickly. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they've uncovered significant fraud and waste. While I may target specific areas, I believe there are many opportunities for improvement. As a government, we must remain open and transparent. If necessary, I can step in personally.

President Trump outlines a plan to permanently eliminate many nonessential positions as part of a reduction in force (RIF). His suggestions for cutting “riff raff” include removing federal employees and contractors who weren’t working before the government shutdown. He cites examples of inactivity: dozens of national laboratory employees who “spend the work day catnapping or playing cards and games,” and a Department of Energy contractor who filed a complaint that “he wasn’t doing good on him” and that he is “begging for work,” saying, “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to do nothing.” Trump also points to bureaucrats holding several different government jobs simultaneously without performing them. He describes a full-time HUD employee who was “being paid for two other full time government contractor jobs,” totaling “three full time jobs in total,” and notes she frequently billed taxpayers for working more than twenty four hours in a single day, adding that she was paid $225,000 while “never worked in nearly three years.” To address perceived fraud or duplication, Trump states he has introduced a “double dippers act to cross check paychecks and payrolls to identify and stop bureaucrats from double billing taxpayers for work they’re not even doing.” Beyond positions and duplicative work, he calls for eliminating nonessential jobs such as government mascots. He insists on furloughing “the multitude of gimmicky government mascots,” specifying mascots including Lupe, the ringtail from the National Park Service who is “so frightening that Lupe makes children cry,” Owly Skywarn with the National Weather Service, Riley the roadrunner, Puddles the blue goose with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Franklin, the fair market Fox from HUD. He states, “Let’s furlough these fur balls forever,” arguing that tax dollars should not fund these roles when there are “severe staffing shortages for critical jobs like air traffic controllers and VA health care providers.” Trump closes by commending “essential workers who are doing the jobs that we need done on a daily basis.” He acknowledges their service during the Schumer shutdown “without knowing when they may receive their next paycheck” and, speaking for Iowans, extends a hearty thank you to those workers for “putting your country first.”

As part of our core mission to secure the nation and spend taxpayer dollars wisely, we're prioritizing President Trump's goals: peace through strength, restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence. We are incorporating an organization to find fraud, waste, and abuse, and eliminate redundancies, including Biden-era priorities like DEI and climate change initiatives, to reinvest in our core mission. We're also refocusing our existing budget, shifting about 8% away from Biden's programs to Trump's priorities, building a lethal fighting force. This isn't a cut, but a refocus, reinvesting existing funds. Finally, we're reevaluating our probationary workforce, as mandated by an executive order, to ensure we retain mission-critical individuals and eliminate redundancies. We aim to promote the best and brightest based on merit.

I know people who worked in the Reagan administration. When they asked the bureaucracy questions, they were often blocked and deterred because they weren't technical. Elon Musk's team bypassed this by directly accessing the tech systems. No president has ever done this. They found crazy things like payments to people with duplicate or no social security numbers, totaling up to a hundred billion dollars. Payments were also going to organizations like Internews Network, which promotes a left-leaning point of view, and to protesters worldwide. My team is being transparent about it. We went to the data, we found it. We've only been at this for twenty days, so give us a chance. We're already releasing a lot of information. People are trying to slow us down, but the biggest question is whether we can stop their grift.

We're committed to transparency, keeping America safe, and using your tax dollars wisely. We're prioritizing President Trump's goals: peace through strength, a warrior ethos, military rebuilding, and deterrence. Don't believe the media; they often distort or get stories wrong. We're focused on our war fighters and building the best military. We're using outside help to find fraud and waste, eliminating non-core Biden initiatives. We are refocusing our budget, moving funds from these initiatives to Trump's priorities. This is reinvestment, not cuts, protecting key programs. Also, we're reevaluating our workforce to retain top performers and eliminate redundancies.

The federal government isn't a company to dismantle like on Shark Tank; it must be run constitutionally, and the current administration is restoring services and jobs that have been disrupted. The government is fat and hasn't been scrutinized for a century. Finally, someone is willing to address the waste. However, cuts aren't deep enough. In private equity, when fixing a bankrupt company, you must cut severely and quickly, even 20% more than initially planned, then rehire to minimize trauma. There's so much waste in the federal government that needs addressing. You can't be surgically precise when auditing the government. You have to cut more because you don't know where all the waste is. We've never audited the government before.
