Marjorie Taylor Greene said she found the situation in a building that was “basically empty” and questioned whether members of Congress own real estate and rent to the federal government in Washington, DC. She claimed the answer was “Yeah,” and argued this should have been the beginning of addressing corruption. She emphasized she would be different and would be on the front end, aiming to eliminate corruption that has infiltrated committee systems. She acknowledged politics’ current back-and-forth dynamics but said the goal is to reduce that tension and focus on reform. Speaker 1 asked Greene, as Doge chairman, to continue the work on what appears to be a massive scandal: big federal buildings owned by members of Congress and leased back to the federal government—private buildings owned by members of Congress leased to the government—describing it as “the snake eating its tail” and “the tip of the iceberg.” Greene described the broader problem as a frustration with the system and warned against a “shotgun approach,” saying they must not be neutralized and must focus on a few targets. She identified the first focus as the IRS, noting that the big complaint with the IRS, besides “stealing your money,” is that you can’t ever reach them and that their technology is not intermingled. Speaker 1 referenced Greene’s statements about government duplication. Greene said she found through government duplication a chart that “my staff has uncovered basically over a trillion dollars of just simple duplication within these departments that nobody is willing to tackle.” She reiterated the plan to tackle this issue, even if it’s not “sexy,” and to “tackle it,” showing it to the American public, with the hope they will back efforts when changing the structure of government. Greene reiterated that the aim is to focus on a few issues, start with IRS problems, and address the broader duplication and inefficiencies uncovered by her staff. She expressed a determination to reveal these findings to the public and pursue structural changes in government.

Do you liberals even realize you're championing the right of unelected bureaucrats to spend billions of our tax dollars in other countries? You're making videos, writing articles, protesting, and filing lawsuits to ensure this happens. Imagine if I told you ten years ago that in 2025, liberals would be fighting for billions, maybe trillions, to be spent in other countries on things that don't benefit America while we sink deeper into debt. You're fighting for politicians to line their pockets with payments to useless programs and countries. And what are you fighting against? People who want to audit the government, see where our money is going, identify waste, and expose fraud. Are you out of your minds?

Okay, people, we need to address these budget abuses! Millions are being spent on bizarre programs like body positivity for captive Haitians, glitter bombs for Saudi Imams, and chocolate fondue for East Ukrainian Hebrews. And don't even get me started on the McFlurries for Pakistani furries, which are getting cut. We're also cutting funds for Kool-Aid water fountains for North Korean accountants, abortion on demand for pandas in Japan, and Smarties for Iraqi slumber parties. Other cuts include destigmatizing marijuana in Uganda and sausage male dancers for Australians with COVID cancer. We are also trimming expenses for teaching zodiac to Iraq, high-speed trains in Ukraine, welfare for aboriginal feminists, and sex changes for polar bears. We are reducing spending on IUDs for Corgis, easy-bake ovens for Saudi covens, alternative fuels for Afghani polycules, and free handgun ammunition for USAID positions. Finally, check out Hollow, an app for guided prayers and meditations to grow closer to God.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle America's 36 trillion dollar debt, we need to examine all areas. On the oversight subcommittee, we'll investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads propaganda. We'll also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, programs that don't benefit Americans. I also want to address the Pentagon about their missing billions and failed audits.

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.

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'm done being the federal government's piggy bank. I'm tired of hearing about trillions of unaccounted dollars while the IRS is seizing our assets and wages. We're overtaxed while congresspeople get away with insider trading and pay next to nothing. My husband and I pay more in taxes than some people make in a year. I won't do it anymore. We need to protest in the streets and demand a tax halt. I don't care if the states or the federal government suffers, especially when they're wasting our money on ridiculous studies. I’m struggling to afford groceries and gas. We need a tax halt until they figure this out, President Trump. Period.

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.

Gavin Clager and others arrived at the IRS today. I don't expect to close the IRS, but I think the IRS will be looked at like everybody else. Just about everybody is going to be looked at. They're doing an amazing job. This force is building, and I call it the force of super geniuses. They go up and talk to people about certain deals, and the people get tongue-tied. They can't talk because these people get it. We need smart people.

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.

Okay, team, we need to address some serious budget overspending. I'm talking millions on bizarre projects like body positivity initiatives for captive Haitians, glitter bombs for Saudi Imams, and chocolate fondue for Ukrainian Hebrews. And it doesn't stop there: McFlurries for Pakistani furries? Kool-Aid fountains for North Korean accountants? Abortion on demand for Japanese pandas? Some of these programs are getting cut, including those Iraqi slumber parties and destigmatizing marijuana in Uganda. Sausage male dancers for Australians with COVID, gender-fluid Iraq zodiac lessons, high-speed trains for Ukrainian hermaphrodites, and sex changes for polar bears. Even Saudi Arabian easy bake ovens are in question. And lastly, we're cutting free handgun ammunition for all USAID positions. Now, a word from our sponsor, Hollow, the prayer app.

I'm nearly convinced that our entire national debt of $36 trillion is due to fraud, abuse, and waste. A staggering $2.7 trillion was improperly sent overseas as Medicare and Medicaid payments. How is this even possible? Is there any part of our government that isn't defrauding the American people? We've barely scratched the surface of this audit, and it already seems the answer is no. It feels like every branch of government has been robbing Americans blind while we struggle to make ends meet. People are still freezing. I want to see arrests, and I want the names of those responsible revealed.

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.

"We got them. We finally got them. We caught the IRS red handed." "They're frauds, fabricated, phantom tax returns the IRS claims that you filed but can't produce because they never existed." "Here's the crime. An IRS agent falsified the records." "A supervisor covered it up." "The DOJ marched into court and used those fake records against Americans and then admitted under oath they have no signed returns to back it up." "That's not sloppy paperwork. That's a RICO fraud, a criminal enterprise operating under color of law." "And it doesn't stop there. Judges look the other way." "Multilayered fraud, IRS, DOJ, and the judicial system." "It's time to shut down this rogue agency once and for all." "Chew on this, America."

Welcome to the Department of Government Efficiency. We reviewed last year's budget and found some questionable expenditures. First, the National Pillow Fluffing Initiative, costing over a million dollars, is being cut. The Bureau of Elevator Music Standards, at $800,000 a year, is also under scrutiny. The National Velcro Noise Study is unnecessary; it's clear Velcro noise is annoying without spending a million. While the program for ice cube uniformity is appealing, it doesn't justify the cost. The American Cloud Watching Fund is similarly excessive. Lastly, the Federal Kazoo Orchestra Grant and the Federal Bureau of Traffic Cone Counting, which reported 256,343 cones, raise concerns about spending priorities. We need to ensure taxpayer money is used wisely.

Hello, fellow citizens and taxpayers. Today, I'm sharing highlights from Senator Rand Paul's annual Festivus report, exposing wasteful government spending. We've spent billions on empty federal buildings, millions on pickleball complexes in Las Vegas, and even funded Ukrainian influencers. Absurdly, money went to girl-centered climate action in Brazil, fighting terrorism with soccer, and diversity in bird watching. We're also burning cash on interest payments for our massive national debt, funding social media expansion in Ethiopia, and backing magic-related projects. Border security in Paraguay got millions, while our own border remains vulnerable. There was money spent on COVID experiments on cats and spinning kittens for science. Unbelievably, $20 million went to Sesame Street in Iraq. This is a fraction of the billions wasted last year alone. Check the 2024 Rand Paul Festivus report and see how your tax dollars are being squandered.

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.

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.

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 want to assure every tax payer that the IRS will not be sifting through records randomly. We are performing a basic anti-fraud review to prevent large scale theft of taxpayer benefits. We pay billions in child tax credits to illegal aliens, so we are implementing systematic reforms. The IRS has been weaponized against Americans for years, engaging in politically based audits and leaking taxpayer information. We are restoring neutrality, ethics, and security controls. One of our major projects involves upgrading IT systems to protect taxpayer information from theft by criminals or foreign governments.

Welcome to the Department of Government Efficiency. We reviewed last year's budget and found some questionable expenditures. First, the National Pillow Fluffing Initiative, costing over a million dollars, is being cut. The Bureau of Elevator Music Standards, which spends $800,000 annually, is also under scrutiny. The National Velcro Noise Study is unnecessary; we all know Velcro noise is annoying. While the ice cube uniformity program and the American Cloud Watching Fund are interesting, they don’t justify their costs. The Federal Kazoo Orchestra Grant has its merits, but the Federal Bureau of Traffic Cone Counting, with an expenditure of $800,000, raises eyebrows. Overall, these programs highlight the need for budget reevaluation.

We're streamlining the federal bureaucracy, aiming to reduce the workforce. We found a surprising bottleneck: the retirement process. Currently, the maximum number of retirements per month is capped at 10,000 due to a completely manual, paper-based system. The paperwork is stored in a 1950s-era limestone mine, and the speed of the mine shaft elevator limits processing. This antiquated system employs thousands of people whose efforts could be far better utilized elsewhere. The situation is absurd; we need to modernize this process immediately. Imagine the increased efficiency and contribution to the country's goods and services if these employees were redeployed.

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've found some odd things, like bureaucrats with modest salaries somehow accumulating millions while in their positions. It makes you wonder where that money comes from. It seems taxpayers are footing the bill for this wealth. Basic controls that any company would have are missing at Treasury, like payment categorization codes or comments explaining payments. The "do not pay" list, meant for terrorists and fraudsters, takes up to a year to get on and isn't even used. Departments fail audits because of these missing controls. It boils down to complaint minimization. Approving all payments avoids complaints, even from fraudsters. But we need to complain when money is misspent and demand taxpayer dollars are used wisely. It's just common sense. We even see people claiming Social Security who are 50 years old!

I'm David Nelson, a tax examining technician at the IRS. I'm blowing the whistle on our outdated systems like the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) from the 1960s. It's command code driven, like MS-DOS but older, and it severely hinders our efficiency. I've even created a potential solution in my free time, a centralized inventory system to replace IDRS, but there are many approvals to get through to use it. Congress knows about these issues, but the "fixes" have been mere band-aids. IRS employees are generally discouraged from speaking out, but I'm not afraid to lose my job. I want to set an example for my kids, to show them the importance of doing the right thing, even when it's scary. My job is to ensure a fair and just tax system for the American people.
