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.

I believe Doge isn't about money, but shrinking government to limit its power, even against figures like Trump. But, if Trump is the head of the government, why would the government try to stop him? Because the bureaucracy should uphold the Constitution and prevent authoritarianism, holding everyone accountable and ensuring the government works for the people. Trump is shredding the Constitution, but we never said the bureaucracy should resist political leadership. We are saying that the President will put someone in charge who will contravene the constitution. This is what dictatorships do. The President is in charge of the military, as per the Constitution, which vests executive authority in the President. The idea of an independent military or a bureaucracy resisting political leadership is dangerous.

The American people will not accept an unelected group controlling the executive branch. While innovation is important, public institutions like Social Security, Medicare, and national defense are at stake, and citizens deserve a voice in these matters. Elections reflect the will of the people, and just because one viewpoint wins doesn't mean we abandon democracy. We cannot replace centuries of democratic practice with a small group that believes they know better than the collective wisdom of the American populace.

The other side is complaining that nobody voted for Elon or any of my cabinet nominees. They say people are dying because of budget cuts and even allege illegal activity. But frankly, I don't care. If they're complaining, we must be over the target and doing something right. We're simply trying to restore the will of the people through the President. What we've found is a vast, unelected federal bureaucracy that is against the President and the cabinet. In DC, it's 92% Kamala. How can we live in a democracy if the President's will, representing the people, isn't implemented? We're witnessing the bureaucracy thrashing as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.

Joe Biden's personal qualities don't matter because he's not in charge. The real issue is the globalists and communists who want open borders, high taxes, and control over your life. To stop them, vote for President Trump to protect the American way of life. Your future depends on it.

The term "unelected" used by Democrats is misleading. Donald Trump was elected in a landslide, and his staff, including the national security adviser and chief of staff, serve at his pleasure. They are implementing the agenda chosen by the American people. The real unelected power lies within the bureaucracy, such as USAID, the FBI, and the CIA, which have acted against Trump. President Trump is working to restore democracy by asserting control over the federal bureaucracy. He is the only individual elected by the entire nation to carry out the agenda that reflects the voters' wishes, while other officials are elected at local or state levels. Ultimately, the president is in charge of the federal executive branch.

Many in the media failed to cover Joe Biden's mental state and misunderstand Elon Musk's role. A president, elected by all Americans, is unique. The Constitution vests executive power in this single president. They appoint staff to implement the democratic will. The real threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of tenured civil servants who defy the will of the American people. For example, when Americans vote for FBI reform, or to end racist DEI policies, these bureaucrats resist change. President Trump is removing those defying democracy by not implementing lawful orders, which represent the will of the American people.

USAID operates as an entrenched power center with minimal accountability, channeling funds through a network of NGOs and potentially engaging in destabilizing activities abroad. This situation diverges from America's interests. Donald Trump is working to restore democracy, as the Constitution grants executive power solely to the president, not to bureaucrats. Americans elected Trump to ensure government accountability to taxpayers, not to unelected officials at USAID. If Democrats claim Trump cannot implement his agenda or remove bureaucrats, they are opposing democracy itself. This conflict represents the will of the people, as expressed through President Trump, against the interests of an unelected federal bureaucracy. Trump and his supporters stand for democracy.

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.

**Speaker 0:** Regarding tariff revenue, President Trump considered replacing income tax with it, especially to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. Is that a possibility? Also, considering Elon Musk, isn't one of Doge's objectives to get rid of the federal bureaucracy? Who was really running the White House when Joe Biden was in office? **Speaker 1:** China tariff revenue could bring in between $500 billion and $1 trillion over ten years. We expect this tariff revenue will make it much easier for Republicans to pass a bill. **Speaker 2:** Many people failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country. A president is elected by the whole American people. The existential threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who believe they answer to no one. President Trump is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders.

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.

There are about 3 million federal government employees, but only 3,000 are appointed by the president, making it difficult to implement changes. Most of these employees operate independently, not accountable to elections or the president, which poses a significant challenge. Since Trump's election in 2016, elements of the administrative state have actively worked against him, using tactics like the Russiagate investigation to undermine his reform efforts. The key issue for Trump's potential second term is whether he can bring this bureaucracy under democratic control, aligning it with the will of the American people and the Constitution. Trump's goal is to restore democracy and counter the influence of this unelected government branch.

The Democrats complain that nobody voted for Elon or my cabinet nominees and claim people are dying because of budget cuts while also calling my actions illegal. Their reaction shows we must be over the target and doing something right. We're trying to restore the will of the people through the president. There's a vast, unelected federal bureaucracy implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet. Consider that DC voting is 92% for Kamala. If the president's will, representing the people, isn't implemented, then the will of the people isn't being implemented. We're not living in a democracy, but a bureaucracy. What you're seeing is the bureaucracy resisting as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.

I believe President Biden is a much worse threat to democracy than Trump. Biden is the first president to use federal agencies to censor political speech, targeting opponents. I won a case proving he censored me shortly after taking office. The greatest threat to democracy isn't questioning election returns, but using presidential power to force social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor political critics through portals accessible to the FBI, CIA, IRS, and other agencies. Biden also weaponized the Secret Service, denying protection to a political opponent for political reasons. These are critical threats because he is weaponizing federal agencies.

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.

There are about 3 million federal government employees, with only 3,000 appointed by the president, making it difficult to manage them. These employees, who nominally report to the executive branch, cannot be fired by the president. This creates a situation where an unelected "fourth branch" of government operates independently, resisting reforms and attempts to hold them accountable. Since Trump's election in 2016, elements of this administrative state have actively worked against him, using tactics like the Russiagate investigation to undermine his presidency. The key issue for Trump's potential second term will be whether he can rein in this bureaucracy and restore democratic control, aligning with the intentions of the Constitution. Trump symbolizes a push for democracy against this entrenched bureaucracy.

The Democrats are spreading disinformation, just like they did with Russia. They claim that President Trump is a threat to democracy, but the real threat is Joe Biden's incompetence. He is a crooked individual and the worst president we've ever had. Our nation is failing because of him. However, we will turn things around and make America great again.

Many in the media failed to cover Joe Biden's alleged mental incompetence and that he wasn't running the country. The idea that Elon isn't elected demonstrates a misunderstanding of how government works. A president is elected by the entire American people, unlike judges or members of congress. Article Two of the Constitution states that executive power is vested in a single president. This president appoints staff to impose that democratic will onto the government. The real threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants. They believe they answer to no one, can do whatever they want without consequence, and can set their own agenda regardless of how Americans vote.

Violent rhetoric from Democrat leaders is unacceptable and would provoke outrage if it came from Republicans. President Trump was elected with a mandate to improve government efficiency, partnering with Elon Musk to lead this initiative. They aimed to ensure accountability in federal spending for American taxpayers. The calls for violence and street protests from Democrat officials are alarming and warrant accountability for their statements.

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.

Many of you failed to acknowledge Joe Biden's mental state and questioned Elon Musk's authority, revealing a misunderstanding of government. The President, elected by the entire nation, embodies the will of the American people. He appoints staff to implement this democratic will throughout the government. The real threat to democracy comes from unelected, tenured bureaucrats who disregard the people's vote. They resist change, whether it's FBI reform, energy policies, or ending DEI, undermining the democratic process. President Trump is removing these officials who defy democracy by not implementing his lawful orders, which represent the will of the American people.

The speaker claims Joe Biden is mentally incompetent and not running the country. They state that a president is elected by the whole American people, unlike judges or members of congress. According to the vesting clause, the executive power is vested in the president. The speaker believes the existential threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who defy the will of the American people. They allege these bureaucrats believe they answer to no one and can do whatever they want without consequence, setting their own agenda regardless of how Americans vote. The speaker asserts that President Trump is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders, which represent the will of the whole American people.

Looking at these pictures, when the story of Donald Trump's second presidency is told, this image will be near the top. It shows a president justifying an assault on the Federal Government in the Oval Office with Elon Musk. This individual was sent in to root out waste and abuse in government. Most of the country is for that, but we haven't seen accountability. Trump ran on disrupting and reforming government, but nobody saw Musk coming or the young people sent to sack thousands without justification. If people can't vote and have their will decided by elected representatives, we don't have a democracy. Describing bureaucracy as an unconstitutional branch of government is a stretch. Trump opened the news conference talking about billions in waste and fraud and judges objecting to weeding out corruption. Team Trump is leaning on the judges, the legal system, and the public.

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.
