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 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 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.

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.

That picture of President Trump and Elon Musk in the Oval Office will be iconic when the story of Trump's second term is told. It depicts a remarkable event: the President justifying a large-scale attack on the federal government. The main criticism is the lack of accountability. Trump campaigned on reforming government and rooting out waste, but the methods—including Musk's involvement and mass firings—were unexpected. The actions haven't provided the detailed justification the American people deserve. Yalda rightly pointed out that if elected representatives can't carry out the will of the people, we don't have a democracy. Calling the bureaucracy an unconstitutional branch of government is inaccurate. However, Trump's actions are facing legal challenges, with judges objecting to actions such as mass firings at USAID and restricting access to the treasury payment system. The debate is ongoing, and Trump's team is relying on the legal system and public opinion.

People often say they didn't vote for Elon Musk, but they did, as Trump made it clear that Musk, Bobby, and Tulsi are part of the team. Once they're on the team, they can't be removed. We've taken your advice and consent, and now it's time to move forward with making America great again. The recent actions with USAID are just the beginning. Expect significant changes ahead, particularly within the US Department of Education and the National Endowment for the Arts. What lies beneath these organizations is alarming, especially concerning the intelligence community. Stay tuned for more updates.

Elon Musk and Vivek are set to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, tackling wasteful spending. They highlight absurd expenditures, such as studies on selfies and drugged quail, while noting that $500 billion is lost to fraud annually. Many federal employees remain unproductive, working from home despite the end of COVID. The current government has seen a massive increase in spending, with a budget of $7 trillion. There's skepticism about whether Musk and Vivek can effectively manage government inefficiencies, but their business backgrounds may help cut costs. The discussion emphasizes the need for accountability and efficiency in government spending, with hopes that AI could assist in identifying waste.

Donald Trump suggested Elon Musk audit the federal government. One speaker believes AI can democratize government and increase transparency, or enslave citizens to the government and intelligence agencies, and that Musk understands this best. The Pentagon has failed every audit for the last 20 years and lost $4.3 trillion in the last audit. This money was primarily lost on equipment purchases whose locations are unknown, forcing the Pentagon to repurchase them. These problems are solvable with AI, which could track stockpiles and warehouses to identify the location of equipment.

Before Elon Musk, no one knew about the unnamed bureaucrats in our government. Now, Musk is being scrutinized for the transparency and access he's providing. We're happy to provide the receipts, showing contracts that DOGE found across our government. For example, there's a $36,000 DEI contract for US citizenship and immigration services, and a $3.4 million contract for inclusive innovation at the US Patent and Trademark Office. There's also $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. DOGE is identifying these line items daily and moving very fast. This administration is transparent about what DOGE is doing. We're providing transparency and accessibility daily. We also have a DOGE daily report available with all of their findings, and we're happy to provide this information.

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.

Donald Trump suggested Elon Musk audit the federal government. One speaker believes AI can democratize government and increase transparency, but could also enslave citizens to the government and intelligence agencies. They feel Musk understands this best and could deploy AI effectively. The Pentagon has failed every audit for the last 20 years and lost $4.3 trillion in the last audit, mostly due to being unable to locate purchased equipment. AI could fix these problems by tracking stockpiles and warehouses to eliminate government waste.

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.

Let's address the Elon Musk controversy. He's not a freelancer but a government official appointed by Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), set to last until 07/04/2026. Musk's role is to identify waste and fraud within agencies, a task he has the authority to do. The legality of executive orders is in question, with Democrats suing based on the principle that Trump isn't spending funds they approved. Ironically, executive order usage is more consistent across Republican and Democratic presidencies than commonly perceived. Trump is following Biden's precedent of not spending congressionally approved funds. Musk's controversial figure status redirects attacks away from Trump. Despite media attempts to create a divide, Trump isn't bothered, recognizing that Musk is drawing attention away from him while fulfilling his executive duties to cut wasteful spending.

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.

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.

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.

All the other side wants to talk about is Elon Musk, but where were they when Fauci was forcing vaccine and mask mandates? Or when Mayorkas was letting illegal aliens invade our country? Or when Cardona was targeting those who disagreed with his transgender ideology? Or when Gensler was blocking financial market growth? They didn't care because it benefited them. Musk is an employee of the President, and we have a mandate to do what he's doing. His job is to carry out the will of the people. The Democrats have grown and weaponized the administrative state, and people are fed up. We're talking about $2.7 trillion in improper payments since 2003, possibly the biggest money laundering scandal ever, and the other side doesn't care. Is it because this money funds their side? It funds media outlets that cover for them, left-wing NGOs, and transgender activism. This money, taken from Americans, is being used against them.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism of the staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you restricted Musk in any way? We haven't discussed much. He has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can quickly identify issues. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they're uncovering significant fraud and waste. I identify targets for investigation, and while there may be areas we won't touch, I believe everything is worth examining. As a government, we need to be transparent, and I'm willing to take action if necessary.

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.

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.

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.

Here's what's happening with Doge: Despite claiming maximum transparency, there's confusion about who's in charge and what they're doing, especially with federal job losses. The White House says Elon Musk isn't the Doge administrator but oversees it for President Trump. Trump calls Musk a "patriot," whether "employee" or "consultant," but dodges concerns about conflicts of interest with Musk's companies, despite them working with agencies that regulate or contract with his companies. Trump claims he wouldn't allow conflicts of interest, stating Musk can't partake in areas where conflicts exist. There's contradiction, since a White House official says Musk only advises Trump, while Musk implies he's making decisions. Trump addressed speculation about a divide, saying Musk told him people are "trying to drive us apart," but that the public "sees what's happening."
