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.

We're keeping our promises. President Trump is the first in a long time to actually deliver. Democrats and the media are losing it over our commitment to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy. I want to set the record straight. President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Doge team to investigate fraud at the Social Security Administration. We suspect millions in fraudulent payments are going to deceased individuals. Our goals are to identify and end duplicate payments, stop payments to the deceased, and protect the system for hardworking Americans who have paid into it. If you've paid in honestly, you'll continue to receive your checks. Don't believe the fake news trying to scare you. We're protecting your hard-earned money.

The massive bloat in government spending allows politicians to hide their pet projects. For example, Stacey Abrams' climate group, with a revenue of only $100, is slated to receive $2 billion. There's outrage over Elon Musk's team accessing IRS data, yet the Biden administration allowed 53 unpaid researchers and students full access to the American people's data at the IRS. They're okay with waste, fraud, and abuse as long as their special interest groups are funded and their ideology is promoted, regardless of the will of the American people. Our country can't survive this. We are thankful that Donald Trump and his team are saying enough is enough and will begin the process of restoring a constitutional republic.

This is truly an "America First" policy, fulfilling a long-standing public demand. Politicians have promised smaller, more efficient government for years, but only Donald Trump, with Elon Musk's help, is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed. While some disruption is expected, the public desires action. Republicans will likely support this aggressive government audit, including a review of the Pentagon. The goal isn't to weaken the military, but to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Finding inefficiencies and redirecting funds to crucial areas will enhance national security, not compromise it. The American people want this, and it's achievable.

For the last couple of weeks, Democrats have been attacking those who are exposing wasteful spending instead of focusing on stopping the spending. This underscores the fundamental difference between the left and conservatives. The left thinks bureaucrats are smarter than the American people. I'd rather trust the 77 million people who elected President Trump to identify the dumb things that taxpayer money is going towards. They're attacking the people President Trump put in charge. You can't question the bureaucrats, even though the smartest bureaucrat, Dr. Fauci, was wrong about many things. They even tried to set up a disinformation governance board to tell us what we can and can't say. I'll trust the guy elected by 77 million Americans to focus on stopping the stupid spending. We have a $36 trillion debt. We should pass Mr. Siskamani's bill again this year.

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.

The people want an active government that doesn't waste money. To deliver change, we're reorganizing the government to save taxpayer dollars. We're cutting the federal bureaucracy by 100,000 positions through attrition and reducing administrative costs by 12%. Unproductive advisory commissions will be eliminated, and agencies can't create new ones without approval. Government regulations and procurement rules hurt the system, so we will cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, and change these rules to make government work better. This includes downsizing the government, improving customer service, and overhauling federal procurement and personnel systems. The goal is to make government work for the people, eliminate unnecessary programs, and reduce the federal workforce. We're committed to cutting spending and reducing the deficit to ensure a stronger economy for the future.

The same Democrats who said we couldn't fix the border are now seeing border crossings down 95% in just one month. We've uncovered $100 billion in waste, Sean. Think of what we could do for suffering Americans, our schools, healthcare, and infrastructure with that money! Imagine four years of these kinds of savings once we get into the rest of the agencies. Nobody thought giving millions to Guatemalan programs was a good use of funds. The possibilities are endless, and the American people are finally seeing what's possible. We are going to unleash all of that. I couldn't be prouder of what we are doing.

We are committed to rolling back the administrative state and reducing the size of government. Our goal is to return power to the people and create a more efficient federal workforce in collaboration with President Trump. Citizens should not be governed by unelected bureaucrats but by those they have chosen to lead. This aligns with the principles of Article 1 and the original intent of Congress. The American people demand a departure from the status quo, and we will respond to their call for change.

There’s no Democrat or Republican in Washington who could fill a hall like this. The Republican leadership shows clear contempt for their own voters, focusing on foreign issues while neglecting the struggles of their constituents, such as the drug crisis and job losses from offshoring. This indifference is palpable. Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell share a dismissive attitude towards the people. They resist Donald Trump’s return because he embodies transparency and accountability. As American citizens, we have the right to know how our government operates and spends our money. The government exists to serve us, and we deserve full disclosure about its actions.

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'm a huge Trump supporter, but I'm demanding accountability. Corrupt politicians need to face real consequences for their crimes, not just a slap on the wrist. If Trump doesn't deliver on his promises to clean up corruption, I'm going to have a problem with him. I'm tired of our tax money being wasted on ridiculous things while citizens here and victims of natural disasters get nothing. And I don't want to hear protesters complaining. If you're not here legally, go back to your country. All the conspiracy theories we've had are now coming to light. If you're corrupt, regardless of party, you're done. We need to take care of American citizens first – vets, seniors, everyone. Our generation, Gen X, is first in line to get paid back. If anyone has a problem with that, tough.

We are working to eliminate government corruption and restore integrity. Together, we will make America great again. Thank you, and God bless you and America.

I made a commitment to the American people to do a better job rooting out wasteful spending in Washington. We don't need to wait for Congress to take action. Cutting waste and making government more efficient is something leaders in both parties have worked on. We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as we'd like, and that's why we launched our own initiative.

It's not optional for us to cut federal expenses; it's essential. People voted for major government reform. The president spoke about it at every rally. People are going to get the major government reform they voted for. If the people cannot have their will decided by their elected representatives, then we don't live in a democracy. We live in a bureaucracy.

Budget reform isn't an option; it's essential. The American people deserve transparency and accountability to see where their tax dollars go. We must ensure funds are used as intended. We're committed to scrutinizing the federal budget, line by line, eliminating wasteful programs and ensuring cost-effectiveness. It should be easy to cut pointless waste that benefits no one. We aim to establish a new culture of efficiency, not just within our administration, but for every administration that follows. No amount of waste is acceptable when it's your money. We all know government inefficiency exists. Reorganizing and finding efficiency is challenging, and frankly, some of these necessary changes are overdue.

We're committed to streamlining the federal government, just like running a business. We're carefully reviewing every expense to ensure we're only spending on what truly benefits America. That's our focus. Any claims to the contrary are simply scare tactics from the left, who lack a coherent message and are, frankly, out of touch with reality.

The American people want effective government without wasted money. To deliver this, we're overhauling how government operates, beginning with a 25% reduction in White House staff and $10 million in savings. These steps will save taxpayers $9 billion. We're reducing the federal bureaucracy by at least 100,000 positions through attrition and cutting administrative costs by 12%. We're also eliminating unproductive advisory commissions. We aim to cut inessential spending and tackle the growing deficit and debt. Government programs should be efficient, and overhead must be reduced. These changes are crucial because debt consumes tax dollars and hinders private sector growth. We're also working to cut waste, streamline processes, improve customer service, and reform procurement and personnel systems. We need a government that works better, costs less, and treats taxpayers like customers.

Our administration's primary goal is restoring democracy by fixing the broken feedback loop between the people and the government. An out-of-control, unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, undermining the will of the people. We must also address the massive national deficit; its interest payments alone surpass the defense budget. We're finding shocking waste, fraud, and abuse—billions of dollars in improper payments, often lacking basic oversight. Simple controls like payment categorization and verification would drastically reduce this. We're working with agency heads and the President to implement common-sense reforms, increasing transparency and ensuring taxpayer money is spent responsibly. We are committed to fiscal responsibility and economic growth, benefiting all Americans. While we strive for transparency, mistakes will be made, but we will correct them promptly.

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.

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.

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.

Working with our team, we've identified $260 million in savings on contracts alone. Under President Trump's leadership, we're committed to eliminating fraud, abuse, and streamlining processes. I'm pleased to announce these significant savings and our ongoing efforts to be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. We anticipate finding even more savings in the future.

The federal government isn't a company to dismantle like on Shark Tank; it must be run constitutionally, and the current administration is restoring services and jobs that have been disrupted. The government is fat and hasn't been scrutinized for a century. Finally, someone is willing to address the waste. However, cuts aren't deep enough. In private equity, when fixing a bankrupt company, you must cut severely and quickly, even 20% more than initially planned, then rehire to minimize trauma. There's so much waste in the federal government that needs addressing. You can't be surgically precise when auditing the government. You have to cut more because you don't know where all the waste is. We've never audited the government before.
