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.

You mentioned wanting to eliminate 600 NIH workers on day one and 2,200 from HHS. Which departments will you cut from? There are 200 political appointees that change with each administration. If you remove those, will you replace them with your appointees? President Biden changed 3,000 employees at HHS. As a potential top health official, will you commit to not firing federal employees working on food safety or cyber protection? There are 91,000 employees. So, will you ensure those working on food safety and cyber security keep their jobs? I commit not to fire anyone doing their job. Will this commitment be based on your opinion or political agenda? It will be based on my opinion. So, it seems those with differing views on vaccines may be at risk of losing their jobs.

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.

As a policy advisor for the Treasury, I work on national security risks, monitoring investments into the US. Recently, Doge gained access to the Treasury to cut waste. I think we're an easy target, and there are people here who don't do much. My colleagues and I are worried about Doge and potential firings. What Elon is doing feels like government-sanctioned harassment. People here think it's not going to fire the right people, it's going to fire the wrong people. Many of us in my office are worried about being fired, especially the new hires. Some people care more about money than the country. I also feel that Doge shouldn't have access to the Treasury due to national security risks. No one knows what they want to do with the system. Giving people access to information creates vulnerabilities.

Hi, I'm James O'Keefe, an investigative reporter. I spoke with Byron, a White House adviser, who acknowledged that the deep state exists. He explained that bureaucracies often create commissions to delay action, which can hinder incoming leadership, citing RFK Jr. as a potential target for bureaucratic resistance. Byron mentioned that the bureaucracy should implement elected leaders' policies while also advising them. Our conversation revealed insights into how the bureaucracy operates, and I recorded it all. Byron seemed surprised but engaged. This highlights the importance of transparency in government, and we will continue to investigate and report on these matters.

People I know have worked for the government for years and don't do much. Doge shouldn't have access to the Treasury due to national security risks. It's weird because no one knows what they want to do with the system or why they need access to random people's tax information. Giving people this kind of access creates vulnerabilities. They could misuse the information or give it to another country. Elon's actions feel like government-sanctioned harassment. Everyone in my office is worried about getting fired.

I see myself as a technologist focused on creating technologies that improve the world. My "tech support" shirt reflects my role in providing technology support to the president. It's crucial because executive orders, though sensible and beneficial for the country, often aren't implemented effectively. For instance, the president issued an executive order to stop using taxpayer money for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants, which is a waste of resources. Despite the order, this practice continued. My team intervened, pointing out the violation of the presidential executive order and demanding its termination. A primary function of the "Doers team" is ensuring that presidential executive orders are actually enforced.

Mister Secretary, considering the immigration situation over the past four years and the resulting national dialogue, do you think you would have approached things differently? Yes, it's important to recognize that in any large organization, including government, there are varying opinions on policies and operational measures. These differing views are expressed, decisions are made, and then everyone works together towards the common goal. Are you implying that your personal views on handling immigration differed from your superiors'? I prefer not to discuss the internal decision-making process. However, it’s a common reality that diverse opinions exist when many people are involved in making decisions.

If we didn't have our current protections, there would be a lot of problems. We'd essentially be a sanctuary program. I oversee a team that develops professional development for teachers in adult education programs, including ESL and citizenship classes. Luckily, we've strategically managed to keep status questions out of our federal statute by maneuvering around problematic bill additions. Conversations now have to be taken offline due to increased surveillance. We've moved to using Signal, an encrypted messaging app, for secure communications. Elon Musk's "Doge team" has taken over the secretary's floor, monitoring our computers and calls. People are leaving in droves and getting paid to do nothing, so if you find me in Mexico, that's why.

If we were seen as a sanctuary program, especially one using federal dollars, we'd face a lot of problems. To avoid scrutiny, we strategically omit status inquiries from our federal statutes by subtly influencing bill language in congress. Now, with the new efficiency team's surveillance, communication has moved offline to encrypted apps like Signal, even though we're not supposed to conduct business there. They've installed software to track keystrokes and monitor our calls. If I end up on leave, I'm headed to the beach, taxpayer money well spent!

I'm James O'Keefe, and I caught a White House advisor, Byron, on hidden camera discussing the "deep state." People joke about it, but it’s real to some degree. One way the bureaucracy slows things down is by creating commissions to study issues, which can delay progress for years. I also recorded him saying the bureaucracy could crush incoming leadership, like RFK Jr. Byron admitted the bureaucracy exists and should implement the policies of elected leaders while also advising them. He said he advises on research and development policy. To all the bureaucrats in Washington, you're on notice. Speak openly, or we'll record you. We're going to be recording you en masse.

The speaker discusses internal resistance to RFK Jr.’s policies and the idea that “deep staters” have been entrenched in government. They mention being forwarded an anecdote from a “good career employee.” They point to the FDA, noting that when Marty Makary came in, he had only about 10 political appointees he could choose. Jay Bhattacharya at the NIH allegedly had one political appointee. The speaker claims that every government employee is a “deep stater” who has been there a long time and that an email from a good employee circulates a CIA manual called How to Be a Bad Bureaucrat and Subvert an Institution from Within. The email supposedly asserts that 90% of employees at HHS, which has 70,000 employees, are talking in lunchrooms about the manual and telling each other that their job is to save America and save science from the agenda of President Trump and RFK Jr. The speaker asserts this reflects how people think across major departments and asks how to get rid of them, suggesting firing them as a solution, and mentions SIOP in this context. The CDC is presented as a case study of failure, described as a public health disaster in its COVID-19 response. The speaker alleges that the CDC’s guidance on school lockdowns copied directly from a teacher union document with which they were aligned, reproducing paragraphs from the teacher’s union advocating for two years of school shutdowns. It is claimed that the CDC also said that cloth masks were fine. The speaker says the CDC led the response and that the NIH funded the entire pandemic, including gain-of-function research, asserting that this constitutes “the creation of the pandemic.” In contrast, RFK Jr. is said to have fired three employees, and this action is described as national news. The overall narrative emphasizes a view of pervasive internal opposition within federal agencies, a controversial and sweeping critique of the CDC, NIH, and HHS responses to the pandemic, and a framing of RFK Jr.’s personnel decisions as transformative and newsworthy.
