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.

The speaker discusses the new Department of Government Efficiency, potentially led by Elon Musk. They investigated four instances of wasteful spending that Donald Trump mentioned. $22 billion from Health and Human Services went to housing and transportation for documented migrants. $60 million went to indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America via USAID, with unclear results. $32 million went to the Republic of Moldova for a left-wing propaganda operation, also via USAID. $42 million went to Johns Hopkins University for behavior change in Uganda, funded by USAID. Trump claimed $25 billion in waste. A Rasmussen poll shows that 59% of Americans support auditing Social Security, and 61% believe an audit would reveal widespread fraud. 55% are confident they'll receive promised Social Security benefits. 43% trust Democrats more to handle Social Security, while 44% trust Republicans. The speaker questions whether Democrats will watch spending.

The speaker is advocating for a US taxpayer refund due to information released by the Department of Government Efficiency, claiming Elon Musk and Doge revealed there are over 60,000 federal employee millionaires. The speaker states that when Joe Biden took office in 2021, there were approximately 70,000 federal employee millionaires, but by September 2024, that number more than doubled to 55,334, and is now estimated to be around 60,000. The speaker questions how this increase occurred, given the average federal employee salary is $86,000. The speaker notes that even the highest-paid federal employees, such as medical officers and cybersecurity personnel, earn around $250,000-$260,000 annually. The speaker expresses distrust in federal agencies and opposes paying down the deficit under these circumstances.

Speaker 0 introduces a campaign to cut government waste, specifying that deficit reduction requires cutting billions from valued programs, but eliminating pointless waste should be easy. Speaker 1 claims there has been a tremendous amount of waste and fraud in the government during the Biden administration, estimating federal government fraud at half a trillion dollars. The goal is to reduce this figure, saving taxpayer money by stopping spending on things that very few taxpayers would agree makes sense, such as transgender animal surgeries. Speaker 1 also questions why twenty million people who are definitely dead are mocked as alive in the Social Security database.

The President told me to be more aggressive, so we sent out an email to all employees asking what they do. We got a partial response, so we're sending another email. Our goal isn't to be unfair. Employees can simply respond that their work is too sensitive to describe. We want to keep essential employees who do their jobs well. If a job isn't essential or done well, those people shouldn't be on the payroll. Those million employees who haven't responded are on the bubble. Maybe they don't exist, or we're paying people who don't exist. A lot could have happened. The prior administration wasted money.

As senior advisor at the United States Agency for Global Media, the speaker is working on behalf of the American people and President Trump's administration. The speaker claims to be horrified by what they are learning about the agency. The Biden administration allegedly signed a 15-year lease for a new building costing taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars, despite already having a paid-off building that could have been renovated. The new building has fancy conference rooms, bridges to nowhere, waterfalls, Italian marble, and leather furnishings. The speaker also alleges that contracts were changed just before the new administration arrived to make it less transparent to track where money is going. The speaker says they are working to cancel contracts, save money, downsize, and prevent misuse of taxpayer dollars.

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.

The speaker defends government cuts and reforms, questioning why they aren't celebrated if waste, abuse, and corruption are acknowledged. They claim many failed to cover Joe Biden's mental incompetence and misunderstand Elon Musk's role in government. President Trump is removing federal bureaucrats defying democracy by not implementing his lawful orders, which represent the will of the American people. Taxpayer-funded, empty government buildings are criticized. The speaker asserts that illegal aliens brought in by Joe Biden are not doing farm work but are collecting welfare. The speaker supports a guest worker program and automation for farms. They oppose allowing the previous president to flood the nation with millions of illegal aliens, especially those who rape and murder citizens. USAID is described as an entrenched power center of unelected bureaucrats funneling money to cronies. Democrats are accused of opposing democracy by opposing President Trump's reforms. The speaker states that President Trump is on the side of democracy.

I want to quickly follow up on the discussion about data process upgrades. To be clear, these upgrades would involve costs. This committee, before the Trump administration, focused on rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, including improper payments. It's interesting that now we're relinquishing our constitutional duties to an unelected bureaucrat, who is even occupying the Oval Office. This is the first DOGE subcommittee hearing, yet that individual isn't present. It's also interesting that DOGE is targeting the Department of Education, USAID, and others. I'm actually surprised that not everyone here is overtly supporting Musk's actions. We should focus on investing in technology to address issues like the Department of Defense's audit failures, which involve significant sums. The focus should be on these substantial issues, not on firing our entire federal workforce.

The speaker introduces a campaign to cut government waste, stating that deficit reduction requires difficult choices, including cuts to valued programs. They claim there has been a tremendous amount of waste and fraud in the government during the Biden administration, estimating federal government fraud at half a trillion dollars. The goal is to reduce this figure, saving taxpayer money by stopping spending on things that very few taxpayers would agree makes sense. Examples cited include transgender animal surgeries and the presence of twenty million dead people in the Social Security database.

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 used to work for the Army Corps of Engineers, and the abuse I witnessed was shocking. My boss even bragged about how hard it was to get fired. People would take advantage of the lax environment. One employee ran his farm during remote work, another bragged about drunk driving during work hours. Some wouldn't even log in, and no one checked. The 80/20 rule was in full effect, with 80% of the work done by 20% of the employees. One guy slept at his desk every morning, while another napped in his government truck at a park. I spent three months cleaning up their disaster of a file room. Our government is full of lazy, incompetent people, and the hard workers are punished for outshining their colleagues. Our government organizations are so outdated, they basically need to be rebuilt from scratch. That's why I don't feel bad for federal employees being forced back into the office.

It's ironic that those criticizing President Trump's audit of federal spending are the same ones who wanted to hire 80,000 IRS agents to audit Americans under President Biden. The battle lines are drawn: some colleagues support bureaucracy and spending over the American taxpayer. This isn't just Democrats; many in Washington D.C. have circled the wagons to support spending and bureaucrats over taxpayers. They have a right to be foolish, but these are the same people who chose to support illegal immigration over the rule of law.

Mister O'Malley, under your leadership, the Social Security Administration has failed to serve the American people effectively. The Appointment Focused Service (AFS) was intended to reduce wait times, but my constituents struggle to even schedule appointments due to long hold times and unanswered calls. Reports indicate that local offices are only staffed at 20 to 30%, making it impossible to manage in-person appointments. Additionally, you signed an agreement to maintain these telework policies for four more years, which exacerbates the problem. I reached out to you last August for a meeting regarding these serious issues, but you never responded. It seems you prioritized socializing with union members over addressing the concerns of the public. As Republicans, we are committed to ensuring that every American receives the Social Security benefits they deserve. Our focus is on serving the American people.

As taxpayers, we're footing a $271 billion bill annually. Is it really too much to ask for some accountability on where that money goes, especially when these individuals are earning an average salary of $106,000 a year? Think about the single mom juggling two jobs or the dental hygienist tracking patients. They can justify their work. So, why is it such a burden for government employees to do the same? It's this attitude, this perceived arrogance that the American people are fed up with. It's our money, and we have every right to know how it's being spent.

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.

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.

Instead of addressing wasteful spending, Democrats are attacking the person exposing it. Taxpayers want us to stop funding ridiculous projects, like the transgender comic example from USAID or Bert and Ernie on Baghdad TV. Elon Musk is revealing the federal government's actions, similar to what he did with Twitter. We found that big government pressured big tech to censor Americans. Mark Zuckerberg admitted the Biden administration pressured them to censor, and they complied, but won't repeat it. Musk is now doing this for the federal government, which we support. Democrats believe career bureaucrats should run the country, but we believe elected officials should make decisions. The person with 77 million votes wants Musk to expose government waste. We have witnesses, Miss Wade and Mr. Smith, who can testify to the impact of this administrative state on their businesses.

As senior advisor at the United States Agency for Global Media, the speaker is working on behalf of the American taxpayer and President Trump's administration. The speaker claims to be horrified by what they are learning about the agency. According to the speaker, the Biden administration signed a fifteen-year lease for a new building that will cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. The speaker says the agency already had a paid-off building that could have been renovated. The new building allegedly has fancy conference rooms, four bridges to nowhere, waterfalls, Italian marble, and leather furnishings. The speaker also alleges that contracts were changed just before the new administration arrived to make it less transparent to find out where the money is going. The speaker says they are working to cancel contracts, save money, downsize, and prevent misuse of taxpayer dollars.

This administration's talk about fighting waste, fraud, and abuse is a smokescreen. Their actions reveal a focus on promoting corruption. One of the first things they did was remove 17 inspector generals from federal departments and agencies. These are the people who fight corruption, with staffs dedicated to uncovering waste, self-dealing, bribery, and abuse. Last year alone, they saved us $93 billion. Meanwhile, people are being fired from important civil service positions, and this is not about eliminating waste, fraud, or abuse. It's a continuation of wiping out the anti-corruption infrastructure of the government.

We are deeply grateful for your service to the American people. Despite potentially earning more elsewhere, you've chosen to serve, and we appreciate that. This is a marathon, and we're making progress daily. We must remain hopeful and courageous. Together, we'll ensure a federal government workforce that strengthens America. When we retake the House, we'll pass the PRO Act, respecting all workers, especially our federal employees. As a longtime businessman, I understand that motivated, well-treated employees are essential. Treating employees poorly hurts productivity. If I were Elon Musk, I would focus on making the workforce happy, productive, respected, and well-paid, improving services for the American people. Thank you for your service to America.

I'm uncovering fraud by showing how money isn't reaching its intended destination but is instead being diverted, which goes against what Congress intended. Uncovering fraud should be viewed positively, and it's puzzling why anyone would defend it. We're working to address waste, inefficiency, fraud, and the weaponization of agencies. A prime example is USAID, which misuses taxpayer money to promote unwanted ideologies and destabilize foreign policies. It is common sense to stop funding these things. We aim to address this issue across all agencies, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and effectively.

Many federal workers have not returned to the office since COVID, with about half still working from home. They continue to receive paychecks while some have negotiated to be in the office just one day a month. This often results in employees coming in only on the last day of one month and the first day of the next, effectively working in the office for only two days every two months. Many have moved to areas with a lower cost of living while maintaining their government salaries. There are concerns about the productivity of these remote workers and the implications for taxpayers, especially if they are not contributing to the nation's progress while working from home.

A recent report revealed that only about 1% of federal employees are working in the office, excluding security personnel. This situation is unacceptable to the American public. The new administration and Congress will likely push for federal workers to return to their offices and fulfill their responsibilities. The focus will be on common sense, accountability, and efficiency in government, which will ultimately benefit the people.

The US federal government employs over 3,000,000 people. Excluding the post office and armed forces, that number is roughly 2,400,000. A March report from the America First Policy Institute using Freedom of Information Act requests on work emails across federal agencies found that 95% of career employees who emailed about politics were liberals who hated Trump, cheered Biden and Harris, and celebrated Trump's defeat in 2020. OpenSecrets.org shows that the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the biggest organization for federal government employees with 820,000 members, donated 96% to the Democrat party and only 4% to Republicans. This has been the trend for at least thirty years. Of the entire government workforce, only 5,000 are presidential employees who serve the president and his mission.
