If you oppose Elon Musk and Doge's federal audit, you're involved in money laundering. We deserve to know how our tax dollars are spent. The government's wasteful spending is outrageous; they spend money on ridiculous things, like studying Thanos' snap and animal surgeries. They also wasted billions in USAID. It's time for a federal audit—a 10% audit is needed because the government is constantly interfering in our lives. Finally, someone is holding them accountable. Tomorrow's Super Bowl will feature Elon Musk's $40 million ad campaign exposing government waste. This is fantastic news!

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.

Elon Musk's access to payment systems and Treasury is important for identifying wasteful spending. He has discovered significant issues, such as a $100 million expenditure on condoms for Hamas, among other questionable expenses. While he has strong management skills and a talented team, any actions he takes require our approval, especially where conflicts may arise. We aim to shrink government, and Musk could effectively contribute to that goal. We are committed to bringing in top talent to address these challenges, ensuring that any potential conflicts are managed appropriately.

I want to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. People like President Musk and Trump are using their public offices to enrich themselves by billions of dollars. Why is there silence about looking into the actions of the president and the richest man on Earth? I will say President Musk and Trump often use their public offices to enrich themselves. I will withdraw calling Trump "grifter-in-chief." It's despicable that this committee is silencing me for bringing up that Trump is making millions of dollars.

Democrats are upset with President Trump and Elon Musk for reviewing government spending, which Trump promised during his campaign. Musk, appointed by Trump, is auditing expenditures, revealing wasteful spending by agencies like USAID. He discovered taxpayer money going to foreign aid in countries like Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria, as well as funding for projects like electric vehicles in Vietnam and LGBTQ initiatives in various nations. Critics focus on the process rather than the findings, ignoring the waste of taxpayer dollars. The national debt has skyrocketed to $36 trillion, largely due to excessive spending under recent administrations. Musk's audit aims to identify and eliminate waste, and he should be commended for his efforts to save taxpayer money.

Democrats continue to disappoint, worsening the situation instead of improving it. Consider a scenario where someone robs a bank, and you know who did it. Would you blame the robber or the person who informed you? This is similar to the reaction towards Elon Musk, who was brought in to improve government efficiency. Instead of addressing the wasteful spending of taxpayer money on unnecessary programs, people are attacking Musk for revealing the truth. This behavior reflects a cult-like mentality among those unwilling to accept facts. As more evidence of government waste emerges, moderate Democrats may distance themselves from this mindset. It's frustrating to see anger directed at Musk rather than at representatives responsible for the mismanagement of funds.

There's support for clearing government waste on both sides of the aisle, but also concern about the access Musk and Doge staffers have to sensitive data, especially given Musk's investments with China and billions from the government. When PayPal was owned by Elon Musk, there were no security breaches. The IRS is a nightmare, with folks not back to work years after COVID. As a Congressman, it takes me up to six months to get a response regarding constituent concerns. The IRS has hundreds of groups with access to sensitive data. People are only complaining now that Elon Musk is involved. The only reason to ask questions is if you're doing something crooked. Congressmen will have red faces when this paper trail leads back to them. People are pitching a fit because Musk is making needed changes.

Biden's USAID has wasted taxpayer money on questionable projects: $1.5 million for DEI in Serbia, $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala, $6 million for tourism in Egypt, and $15 million for contraceptives in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This spending is alarming for American taxpayers. President Trump aims to stop such funding, addressing issues like USAID's support for Hamas. The urgency for change has never been clearer, especially after blocking funds that could aid terrorism. The backlash from Democrats and media against figures like Elon Musk shows their discomfort with these reforms. Musk's efforts align with Trump's mission to eliminate wasteful spending and restore accountability in government.

House Republicans are prioritizing Elon Musk's interests over those of everyday Americans. Their opposition to transparency is baffling, especially for a party claiming to represent the people. The argument that access is needed to combat misinformation is misleading; the individuals involved are treasury employees, not external actors manipulating the system. The Republicans' actions demonstrate a lack of concern for the American people and their tax dollars. Full transparency on government spending is necessary to prove otherwise.

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.

There's graft occurring, and the left is upset because Elon Musk bravely stated there is a paper trail that will expose where taxpayer money is going, likely into politicians' pockets. In the past, it's been documented to go into campaigns, but now, people, possibly even members of Congress, should go to jail if they or their family members are profiting from this. Billionaires form NGOs with prominent board members, and the government dumps stolen taxpayer money into them, which is then filtered out among board members and political friends. Musk will document this, which is why there's such a strong reaction. Many prominent Democrats have ties to these NGOs, including Obama's transportation secretary, Biden's EPA chief, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom. The hope is to prevent America from going bankrupt.

USAID, originally created by President Kennedy, has been hijacked by a far-left agenda, marked by wasteful spending and anti-American priorities. Democrats show no concern over this misuse of funds, perhaps because scrutiny has led to a surge in searches for criminal defense attorneys. President Trump's attempt to pause this spending was met with accusations of a constitutional crisis, while the real crisis is the misuse of taxpayer money. USAID programs sabotage diplomatic relationships by pushing woke ideology, even weaponizing programs like PEPFAR by demanding African nations compromise their values for aid. Furthermore, claims that Elon Musk, who possesses a top-secret clearance, has access to personal data are false, and the left's disparaging remarks about young people serving the country are offensive. Their service matters.

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.

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.

Instead of focusing on real issues, Democrats are attacking those exposing wasteful spending. Taxpayers would rather we stop funding ridiculous things, like a transgender comic in Ireland or Bert and Ernie on Baghdad TV. Elon Musk is now exposing the federal government, just like he did with Twitter, revealing how big government pressured big tech to censor Americans. Mark Zuckerberg admitted the Biden administration pressured them to censor, and they complied. We believe elected officials should make decisions, not unelected bureaucrats. The person who received 77 million votes wants Elon Musk to help expose wasteful government spending. Democrats can attack him if they want, but we understand the consequences of letting bureaucrats run things. We have witnesses who can testify about how this has impacted their businesses.

Tomorrow, I will hold a news conference to reveal the names of entities receiving hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. If you believe these entities deserve the funding, you shouldn't be a reporter. Billions are being wasted illegally, and I believe kickbacks are involved. When someone gets millions for a mere fifteen-minute assessment, that money is coming back somehow. This corruption significantly harms our country through massive expenditures. I reviewed 200 expenditures and found only three reasonable. We'll discuss this further tomorrow. I commend Elon Musk; despite daily abuse, he has uncovered more than anyone else. His team of geniuses, starting with 12 and now almost a hundred, is helping expose massive fraud.

There's tremendous fraud and abuse happening, and I'm holding a news conference tomorrow to reveal some of the entities that have received hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. It's hard to believe this kind of fraud can occur. When you see billions being wasted illegally, there's likely kickbacks or corruption involved. Millions are given for minimal effort, and that money comes back in some form. They're spending massive amounts of money on ridiculous items. Out of 200 expenditures I reviewed, only three seemed reasonable. I commend Elon for his work in uncovering this fraud. He doesn't need to do this, especially with the abuse he faces. He and his team, which started with 12 people and has now grown to almost a hundred, have found more than anyone else could. People are joining to help because there's massive fraud.

The left is not worried about democracy, they are worried about being exposed. All the shady things they've been doing in the dark with American tax dollars is about to come to light. If they had nothing to hide, they wouldn't be going so crazy about it. A defensive reaction to an accusation can indicate guilt. We're seeing a bunch of guilty politicians complaining after Elon Musk has been going into the books and finding hundreds of millions of our tax dollars going to nonsense. Just yesterday, we saw Elon talking about investigating federal employees who have a high net worth despite low pay. For many years, many people were afraid of the government. Now the tables are turning and the government is afraid of the people. It's all coming out now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are no Doge cuts, and this is not USAID. The speaker is talking about waste and fraud, specifically in Medicaid, and claims no one has been turned over to the DOJ for fraud. Elon Musk gave false hope to a political class that doesn't want to cut anything. The big bill has problems, but it passed because Musk promised a trillion dollars. The rescission next week is $9 billion, with $2 billion from PBS and NPR. There's supposedly $7 billion in fraud on a $7 trillion budget. Musk committed $1 trillion to the President, leading to questions about whether it's all "BS."
