To reduce the federal bureaucracy, we must recognize that many regulations are illegitimate. The executive branch has created numerous rules unlawfully, and acknowledging this is key to shrinking its size. This approach could effectively curb the bureaucracy's illegal actions and ultimately save the country. The growth of the federal government is relentless, as institutions inherently aim to protect and expand themselves. It's rare to hear suggestions about significantly reducing its size, but even a modest cut could transform foreign policy, the economy, and culture. There is potential for meaningful change.

The speaker, a former US congressman, believes that Congress needs to take action to reform the government. Currently, Congress either passes massive spending bills without reading them or relies on continuing resolutions to keep the government running. This lack of oversight allows administrative agencies like the DOJ and FBI to accumulate power without being held accountable. The speaker argues that these agencies should not be considered independent of the White House, as they report to the elected president. Congress has also failed to use its power of the purse to rein in these agencies. The speaker urges Congress to prioritize its duty to ensure constitutional accountability over concerns about government shutdowns or bad news cycles.

To address the issues at the FBI, simply firing Christopher Wray is not enough. The entire system needs to be dismantled. Although there are risks involved, it is better to cut too much than not enough. Reform alone won't make a difference. The speaker greatly admires Donald Trump but believes it is necessary to bring about change. They compare it to rolling over a log and seeing the creatures in the swamp. The speaker wants to use pesticide to eliminate the problem. They acknowledge the importance of understanding the situation and highlight the need to hold the FBI accountable for their actions. The speaker suggests moving the frontline officers to other agencies while shutting down the FBI's back office bureaucracy.

As president, I will shut down the Department of Education and give the $80 billion budget to parents for K-12 education. I will also require localities to eliminate teachers unions so that public schools can compete with private and charter schools. Civic education should be online, and costs for college education have skyrocketed due to excessive hiring in the managerial class. To cut costs, we need to reduce bureaucracy in the federal government and public universities. I am not a politician, and I understand how to legally shut down the administrative deep state. If Joe Biden can shut down agencies with a constitutional basis, I would support his decision. ICE should be shut down to reduce bureaucracy, but we still need to enforce the laws. We need to focus on our own vision and explain why reducing the size of the federal government will stimulate the economy and restore our constitutional republic.

I plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from corruption. First, I will reissue my 2020 executive order to remove rogue bureaucrats aggressively. Next, we will overhaul corrupt national security and intelligence agencies to prevent targeting of conservatives and others. We will reform FISA courts to address judicial negligence in warrant applications. A truth and reconciliation commission will expose deep state abuses by declassifying relevant documents. We will crack down on government leakers and make inspector general offices independent from their departments. I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system for intelligence agencies. Additionally, I will relocate parts of the federal bureaucracy outside Washington and ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs with the companies they regulate. Lastly, I will push for term limits for Congress members to ensure government accountability.

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.

We propose starting from zero and determining what's necessary, aiming for a 75% reduction in federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. The federal Department of Education, which spends $80 billion, is unnecessary since education should be managed locally. By eliminating excessive regulations and reducing the federal bureaucracy, we can lower the national debt and stimulate economic growth. These savings, combined with a growing economy, will help us stabilize finances without affecting Social Security or Medicare. Once we achieve a surplus in Social Security, we can reassess our financial strategies.

The federal government isn't a company to dismantle. It requires constitutional adherence, not a Shark Tank takeover approach. The government is fat and hasn't been scrutinized in a century. An individual is willing to do this work for free, but isn't cutting enough. In private equity, when dealing with a broken company, you cut deep and fast, then rehire. He should cut 20% more. It's all fat and waste. You can't be surgically precise, you have to cut more because you don't know. We've never audited government for a hundred years.

I want key positions in the federal government, like the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of Management and Budget, filled by individuals who share my anti-government, anti-bureaucratic mindset. The Trump experience taught me that appointing those aligned with the managerial class is a mistake. I aim to cut 75% of the federal bureaucracy and need to identify the top 25% of performers to retain. We're developing a comprehensive screening process to select for excellence based on psychological assessments, knowledge, and work ethic. Additionally, I recognize the importance of acting quickly in the first year, focusing on executive actions rather than legislative agendas, and starting preparations before the election.

As governor, I saw firsthand government waste, but what Elon is finding is stunning. One agency had 13,000 employees but 37,000 software licenses, many unused. With millions of federal employees and credit cards, the opportunities for fraud are immense. Shockingly, there are millions of dead people still in the Social Security system. We need to address the low-hanging fruit. Keep good employees but eliminate unnecessary positions. I was in a meeting where it was revealed there are more government credit cards than employees, and the number of people on Social Security rolls is incredible. Checks go out automatically, and nobody is checking. Contract officers retire, but the money keeps flowing. Even diligent companies struggle to stop improper payments. Agencies like USAID don't track appropriations. Basic changes are needed to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

I plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from corruption. First, I will restore the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. Next, I will overhaul corrupt national security and intelligence agencies to prevent targeting of conservatives and others. I will reform FISA courts to address judicial negligence. A truth and reconciliation commission will expose deep state abuses through declassified documents. We will crack down on government leakers colluding with the media and establish independent inspector general offices. I will propose an independent auditing system for intelligence agencies and continue relocating federal positions outside Washington. Additionally, I will ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs with regulated companies and push for term limits for Congress. This is my plan to restore a government for the people. Thank you.

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.

To reduce the size of government, I plan a 75% reduction in federal employees during my first term, with 50% cut in the first year. This includes shutting down agencies like the FBI, IRS, ATF, CDC, and Department of Education. Reviving the integrity of our constitutional republic requires this action. If elected president, I believe in term limits for bureaucrats, just as I would have a limit on my own term. As a CEO, I know that if employees can't be fired, they don't truly work for you. This approach will ensure accountability and efficiency in government.

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.

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.

The FBI has expanded significantly, and its intelligence operations are problematic. I would close the Hoover building and reopen it as a museum, reallocating the 7,000 employees to focus on law enforcement across the country. They should be out there fighting crime instead of being tied to bureaucratic roles. The same applies to the Department of Justice; many are more focused on promotions and titles than on their duties. While it's essential to bring in qualified individuals, it's equally important to reduce the size of government.

This report outlines how to cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, change procurement and personnel rules, and create a more efficient and cost-effective government. Where the report recommends action, I will act. This includes eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging agencies like the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and closing hundreds of government offices outside of Washington. From day one, I committed to rooting out wasteful spending. We must systematically eliminate waste, even if it means cutting worthy programs we can't currently afford. While much action requires congressional approval, we don't need to wait. We've launched our campaign to cut waste independently because Congress hasn't acted enough. We will continue finding ways to cut waste, regardless of congressional action.

The DOGE program is targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for example. They have a budget of about $280 billion a year, but less than 25% goes to educating students. The other $220 billion goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate money back to Democrats, NGOs—it's money laundering. You can find this in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he is cutting spending, he doesn't have the authority to do that, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund, and attaching a number to it. We then put a preamble on the front of that report and say every agency's budget will be cut by X amount as shown in the report, and none of those programs can continue.

The DOGE program is definitely targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for instance. They have a $280 billion budget, but less than 25% actually goes to educating students. The other $220 billion? It goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate back to Democrats, more consultants, and NGOs. It's money laundering at its finest, and you'll find it in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he has the authority to cut spending, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund and assigning a number to each. We'll add a preamble, cut each agency's budget by a set amount based on the report, and halt those programs for good.

The speaker discusses being targeted for their knowledge and potential role in a second Trump administration. They suggest shutting down the Department of Education and reforming intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA. They highlight the need to address deep state elements within the government. The speaker emphasizes the need for significant government reform to combat embedded bureaucratic influences.

I'm uncovering fraud by showing how money isn't reaching its intended destination but is instead being diverted, which goes against what Congress intended. Uncovering fraud should be viewed positively, and it's puzzling why anyone would defend it. We're working to address waste, inefficiency, fraud, and the weaponization of agencies. A prime example is USAID, which misuses taxpayer money to promote unwanted ideologies and destabilize foreign policies. It is common sense to stop funding these things. We aim to address this issue across all agencies, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and effectively.

I plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from corruption. First, I will restore the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. Next, I will overhaul corrupt national security and intelligence agencies to prevent targeting of conservatives and political opponents. I will reform FISA courts to address judicial negligence regarding false warrant applications. A truth and reconciliation commission will be established to declassify documents on deep state abuses. We will crack down on government leakers colluding with the media and ensure inspector general offices are independent. I will propose an independent auditing system for intelligence agencies and relocate federal jobs outside Washington. Additionally, I will ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs with regulated companies and push for term limits for Congress. This is my plan to restore a government for the people. Thank you.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. Keep the Department of Defense and Justice, and the State Department. The Treasury is necessary for tax collection. Veterans Affairs could be eliminated by paying off benefits in lump sums. The government should reduce its land ownership, retaining only what’s necessary for government buildings. The core functions of government should focus on preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion, primarily through local police.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. Keep the Department of Defense, State, Justice, and Treasury. The Department of Health and Human Services should be reduced by half, while Veterans Affairs could be eliminated by paying off benefits in lump sums. The government should sell off most of the land it owns, retaining only what’s necessary for government buildings. The core functions of government should focus on preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion, primarily through local police and the Justice Department.

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.
