Government Waste Reduction:
- The USDOL canceled $577 million in grants, including $10 million for gender equity in the Mexican workplace and other international projects.
- Examples of canceled grants include $12.2 million for worker empowerment in South America and $6.25 million for improving respect for workers' rights in agricultural supply chains in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
-
DOGE's Savings Leaderboard:
- DOGE updated its savings leaderboard, showing $130 billion in estimated savings from various initiatives like asset sales, contract cancellations, fraud deletion, and regulatory savings.
- The savings amount to $807.45 per taxpayer, with 9,289 grant terminations totaling $32 billion in savings.
-
President Trump's Speech:
- President Trump highlighted findings of waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government spending, including $22 billion from AHHS for free housing and cars for illegal aliens and $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma.
-
Elon Musk's Role:
- Elon Musk has been actively involved in uncovering government waste and promoting transparency.
- Musk's efforts have led to significant savings and reforms, including an executive order to protect America's bank account.
-
Historical Context:
- We compare current efforts to reduce government waste with similar initiatives by former President Barack Obama in 2011.
- It questions why Democrats supported Obama's efforts but oppose similar actions by Trump and Musk.
-
Health and Human Services (HHS) Cuts:
- HHS Secretary Kennedy plans to cut 10,000 jobs and close regional offices, aiming to centralize operations and improve efficiency.
- The cuts will not affect essential health services but will streamline various departments and merge offices to save money.
-
Criticism and Political Reactions:
- Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, have criticized the cuts, claiming they erode the American dream and benefit billionaires at the expense of the elderly and disabled.
- We argue that these criticisms are unfounded and that the cuts are necessary to reduce waste and improve government efficiency.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I gotta tell you, it is so much fun to
watch all of the winning that is happening when it
comes to getting rid of government. Wys Doe has now
come out saying the Department of Labor has canceled five
hundred and seventy seven million in America last grants, including
funding for gender equity in the quote Mexican workplace.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Don't blame me for this.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm just giving you the numbers, so let me dial
you through this latest massive cut. The US Department of
Labor canceling the five hundred and seventy seven million of
America ASS contracts, including ten million that was going for
gender equity and the Mexican workplace quote unquote. The Department
of Government Efficiency is announced great work today by USDOL
(00:46):
and the Secretary. They're canceling the five hundred and seventy
seven million in America ASS grants for two hundred and
thirty seven million in savings. Listing some examples of the
wasteful grants that were canceled, one of the grants was
worth a ten million dollars that was litterally described as
gender equity in the Mexican workplace. There was another twelve
(01:08):
point two million that was for worker empowerment not in
America but South America. And six point twenty five million
was for quote improving respect for workers' rights and agricultural
supply chains, and not in this country, not America, but
in Honduras, in Guatemala and El Salvador. Now the cancel
(01:33):
grants were intended for other countries as well, including three
million for safe and inclusive work environments, three million to
enhance social security access and worker protections for internal migrant
workers in Bangladesh.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Why the hell would we be.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Paying for that, four point three million for assisting foreign
migrant workers in Malaysia, and five million for elevating women's
participation in the workplace in West Africa. All of this
coming from the Department of Government Efficiency telling the story. Yes,
(02:13):
you should be angry obviously by all of this that you're.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Hearing right now now.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
This follows DOGE updating its savings leader board, which now
touts one hundred and thirty billion in estimated savings. Dog's
website explains that this is a combination of asset sales,
contract and least cancelations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment
deletion grant cancelations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and
(02:49):
workplace reductions, which breaks down to a savings of eight
hundred and seven dollars and forty five cents so far
per tax payer.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
In this country.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Jog's currently displays nine thousand, two d eighty nine grant terminations,
which alone total thirty two billion in savings for the
American people. Do't just continued, by the way, to uncover
even more waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government. President
Trump highlighting many of these findings during his speech before
Congress earlier this month, where he talked about the twenty
(03:22):
two billion from AHHS to provide free housing and cars
for illegal aliens. I don't want my tax dollars going
for that, Call me old fashioned, by the way.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Or forty five million for.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships not in America but in Burma.
Forty million to improve the social and economic inclusion of migrants. Yeah,
sedentary migrants, I should say, Trump began.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Adding, quote, nobody knows what that.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What's a sedentary migrant even is? How about the eight
million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the Africa nations
which nobody's ever heard of, sixty million for Indigenous people
of Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America, Yes, sixty million dollars,
(04:18):
and eight million for making mice transgender, reminding Americans that
this is real and it continues to be a growing
list that deals with waste, fraud, and abuse. What's also
interesting is how Elon Musk has just been so focused
on all of this and has made it clear that
(04:39):
we are being transparent in what we are finding. The
amount of money that Elon Musk is finding and the
people around him are finding is even shocking.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think it's pretty clear to say to.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Elon Musk, but can we also just go back to
why it is that Democrats hate this so much.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's because they want to control every aspect of our lives.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I also want to take you back to when Democrats
were in favor of cutting waste and promoting efficiency.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
How do I know that?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I only have to go back to November the ninth
of twenty eleven, when Barack Obama on the official White
House website had the video underneath it where it said
cutting waste and promoting efficiency with the date and the
presidential seal. And what did President Barack Obama say back then?
He had a dough style executive order to cut waste
(05:32):
and promote efficiency, saying it was time to get our
government under control. My question is, why did you not
lose your minds then when Barack Obama was saying that
we needed to do it? And why is it now
that you're losing your minds as a guy by the
name of Elon Musk does it with Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think we all know the answer to that. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
They would rather have Donald Trump fail than for America
in our economy to succeed, because it's not about what's
best for the American people or the American taxpayer. It's
about what's best for their power as socialists, as communists,
as Marxists. I want to play for you what Barack
Obama said back in twenty eleven, and no one said
(06:15):
that this was insane in the Democratic Party. No one
was out there losing their minds the way they are
now with Elon Mosk.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Instead, they were.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
All in favor of it because it was coming from
a black Democrat by the name of Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
One of the commitments that I made of American people
was that we would do a better job here in
Washington in rooting out wasteful spender. At a time when
families have had to cut back and had to make
some tough decisions about getting rid of the things that
they don't need in order to make the investments that
they do, we've thought that it was entirely appropriate for
(06:52):
our governments and our agencies to try to root out
waste large and small in a systematic weight. Obviously, this
is even more important given the deficits that we've inherited
and that have grown as a consequence of this recession.
This makes these efforts even more imperative. Now, this does
(07:14):
mean making us some tough choices. It means cutting some
programs that I think are worthy but we may not
be able to record right now. We don't need to
wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful
spending that's out there. Cutting waste, making government more efficient
is something that leaders in both parties have worked on,
(07:35):
from Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican, to Democrat Claire mccaskell.
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as
we'd like, and that's why we launched on our own Initiative,
the Campaign to Cut Waste, not just to cut spending,
but to make government work better for the American people.
For example, we've identified thousands of government buildings that we
(07:59):
don't need. Some of them sat empty four years. So
we're getting rid of those properties and that's going to
save the American people millions of dollars. Roger Rhodes works
at the Department of Commerce. Raise your hand, running there's Rodger.
He found a way to save the Department almost two
million dollars a year on its cell phone bills. And
(08:20):
I'm sure that there're probably some consumers out there that
like to talk to them and find out what they
could save on their cell phone bills. Celeste Steele is here, Celeste,
Raise your hands. Celeste works at the Department of Homeland Security,
and she's helping to save taxpayers tens of millions of
dollars by changing the way that department buys goods and services.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
This is no different than what Barack Obama or s
Donald Trump is doing, or Elon Musk is doing. In fact,
he's got his team in essence of Doge behind him
at the time. And you know, if you had an
Elon must tweet this out. I think it was like
three or four hours ago. He said, take it to
heish shot. Every time Obama says government efficiency, right, like
(09:04):
you listened to him and he's like obsessed with it
back in two thousand and now you've abandoned it, right.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Democrats went to him and said, no, no, you can't
do this, dude.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
This is our gravy trained man, like, you can't cut
all of our programs, like we got to have this
stuff because we've got to buy voters. And he and
clearly he you know, was stout right. He didn't man
up and actually do it. But if you listen to
Obama and you took a tequila shot every time Obama
said government efficiency, you'd be hammered in the hospital begging
for your life.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Also tasked Vice President Biden to work with the secretaries
of all our agencies to identify some systemic areas of
potential improvement travel transportation, IT services.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
By the way, I love this Barack Obama, Like, if
Barack Obama would have done this, if Joe Biden would
have done what they said here and not been corrupt
as hell and weaponizing the government against the American people
and weaponizing the irs against the party.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Patriots like I could have gotten along with this guy.
But again I go back to the core point here.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If you want to know why Democrats are going insane
over Elon Musk and Doge and Donald Trump, it's it's
because they're losing their gravy train. They had no problem
with Barack Obama saying it. They have no problem with
any other Democrats saying the same thing, as long as
(10:30):
it was their party that was in charge. I'll give
you another example of this, Brett Baher sit down at
the White House with some of the DOGE workers and
Elon Musk, and I want you to hear one of
their stories.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Listen carefully, and it.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Is alarming how the financial operations of financial management is
set up today. There is actually really only one bank
account that's used to disperse all monies that go out
of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Talk about one blank account.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's a big one. It's it's a big one. A
couple of weeks ago, I had eight hundred million dollars
in it. But it's the Treasury edital account. So when
you hear you know, some of my colleagues here what
they're talking about in terms of the fraud you have
to ask, well, why is this allowed to happen at
a financial level. Well, it's actually quite simple but alarming.
(11:21):
The Treasury up until now, and thanks to President Trump,
we're fixing this. In fact, there's an executive order that
he just signed the other day which is protecting America's
bank account because it really is the tax payer of money,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
One, we're changing the culture.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
The culture is been not a lot of caring and
not a lot of commitment to doing what's right. Relative
to financial operations. There's a five hundred million dollars a
fraud every year. There's one hundreds of million dollars of
in proper payments, and we can't pass it on it.
The Consolidated Financial Report is produced by Treasury, and we
(11:55):
cannot pass it on.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We have material weaknesses.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
What that means is that if I was a public
company's CFO, I would effectively be removed. I couldn't file
financial statements, I couldn't issue securities.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Can't pass it on right, the federal government cannot pass
it in order. It's impossible.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
In fact, let's just stop there, Elon Musk, and I'm
going to play a second part of this in a
second But what Elon must said, the United States government.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Couldn't pass an audit. Do you want to know why?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Because they set this up deliberately to make sure they
never had to deal with an audit so they could
then encourage the waste, fraud, and abuse to their cronies
and political allies, whether it's PBS or NPR, or or
transsitioning mice to be training mice. This is or Sesame
(12:43):
Street in Iraq or wherever.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
The hell we did that. This is the problem.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But I want to go back to a point I
was making a second.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Ago, and that is this.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
There is a group of people in this country called Democrats,
and I'm talking about their leadership.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
They aren't really democrats.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
They are Marxists, they're socialists, they're communists, it's all three.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They're anarchists. Throw them in there.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
They may be a mixture of everything, like a just
a hot bag, and you know what, And they're masquerading
as Democrats because they don't believe that the American people
are fully ready for them to just say I'm a
socialist or I'm a communist. Like now, in some parts
of the country there have been a declared socialists and
communists have actually won elections, so they believe they're coming
(13:28):
around to this. The American people like, they believe there's
enough of these socialist Marxists and communists that are being
created in our in our public school system, in our
college institutions, that are being in doctrinary that at some
point they'll say, like, yeah, we're not Democrats more.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But they gott to lie to you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But they have no problem with their own party saying
what was said by Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They didn't burn down.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
People's belongings because he said it when he said it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
They didn't torch people.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They didn't they didn't become anarchists, they didn't go crazy.
I'll give you another example of just the corruption here,
and I would play you the audio clip, but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Actually not in English.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But Zelensky just came out and this is a perfect
example of the left. And he says, Ukraine quote will
not recognize all of the previous US military aid as
debt quote unquote, we're not recognizing debts. He went on
to say this, and this is from earlier today. Now
this is the same guy that's begging us for more money.
Trump's liking. I don't know about that. And now the
(14:27):
guy's like, well, if you think we're gonna do a
deal to take on that debt when you gave us
all that money.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
With that last administration, you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It ain't happening on the issue of debts, Zelensky said.
If the issue is raised, we are not recognizing debts.
As I said, I mean, the US AID is in
the past at least again. If there are any prospects
new aid packages in the United States, can probably set
some conditions realizing that this team will not do anything
for free. They say it officially right. I love how
(14:56):
he's like acting like that's a bad thing. No, this
administration is not gonna give you a bunch of money.
And by the way Zolensky's own words, we don't know
where half of the money is gone.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
By the way, I know exactly where it's gone.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's gone to the Ukrainian oligarchs around Zolensky, who are
all hanging out in five star hotels in Warsaw. That's
where the damn money's going. Bo When he sits, he's like, well,
we're not gonna recognize the fine. Then then shut off
the spout. You don't want any more aid from us
with conditions, no problem, like please save me the money.
(15:29):
I'm more than happy for that to happen. I think
the majority of the American people would agree with me.
This is the best part about what is happening right
now in our government. Another example of this, AHHS Secretary
Kennedy is now planning to cut ten thousand jobs. The
Health and the Human Services Secretary is expected to announce
(15:51):
drastic changes to his department, including cutting ten thousand full
time employees and closing regional offices. Wording to documents outlining
the plan. The cuts in the workforce are in addition
to roughly ten thousand employees who chose to leave their
jobs through voluntary separation plans after Donald Trump took office.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
This being well reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The cuts include Food and Drug Administration three thousand, five
hundred full time employees, or nineteen percent of the workforce,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention two thy four hundred employees,
or about eighteen percent of their workforce national instead of
healthy two hundred employees or about six percent of their workforce.
(16:39):
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services three hundred employees
or four percent of their workforce.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The plan would shrink the.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Department to about sixty two thousand by removing one quarter
of its workforce and eliminating five of HHS's ten regional offices.
According to the documents, which add and essential health services
will not be affected.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The employees being let go are.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Spread among departments nationwide that are tasked with the approvals
of new drugs, providing insurance for the nation's poorest people,
responding to disease outbreaks.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And more.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Those are the different issues that we're talking about here.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The CDC, meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Will return to its core mission of preparing for and
responding to epidemics. According to documents, it cuts are not
to come from divisions that focus on infectious diseases.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
An HSS official has.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Confirmed the reorganization further calls to quote centralize HHS communications,
information technology, procurement, human resources, and policy planning efforts that
are now distributed through the department's divisions in some branches.
The Secretary is also planning to create a new subdivision,
(17:57):
the Administration for Healthy America, combining HHS offices addressing toxic substances,
occupational safety, addiction, and more into one central office. The
we'll focus the programs addressing clinic disease prevention and health
(18:17):
resources for low income Americans. Kennedy, a frequent critic of
the AHHS in the past, ran for Presidents you know
last year on a platform of addressing chronic disease in America.
After he endorsed Trump in August, the two said they
were going to make America quote unquote healthy again. The
Trump administration, through efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency
(18:38):
led by Elon Musk, has cut thousands of federal government employees.
Several lawsuits, by the way, been filed on challenging the
people that are crying about I should keep my job.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They're not flinching. By the way, the.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Cuts are not to affect the FDA's inspectors or food reviewers.
Why am I telling you all this because you know
what they're gonna do. The Left is going to tell
you that you're gonna get sick and die, and they're
putting your health at risk by making these cuts. So
that's why I want you to understand where the cuts
are and where they're not. So again, this list I'm
giving you right now is extremely important.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I hope you'll share it with everyone you know.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Because you know, the left's gonna say, oh, well, we're
not gonna have you food inspectors out there, You're gonna
die of some terrible disease.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Again the facts the.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Cuts are not affected the affecting the FDA's inspectors or
food reviewers, and several FDA probationary workers who had been
cut last month were rehired a week later. The plans
also call for several offices to shift. They say the
Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, which oversees the Strategic
(19:44):
National Stockpile and pandemic Preparedness Planning, is to be moved
under the CDC rather than operating as it does now
as a separate division. Kennedy's Administration for a Healthy America
is to include the Health Resources and Services Administration, as
well the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the
Substance Abuse and the Mental Health Services Administration, along with
(20:08):
two divisions under the CDC, the Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Regular Registry and the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Now, why does that matter?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
This reminds me of our government before nine to eleven.
Before nine to eleven, the CIA wasn't really talking with
the FBI, and the FBI wasn't really talking with others.
They were all kind of separate, doing their own thing.
And what we found out was some of the things
that we missed before nine to eleven were actually because
(20:41):
there was too many turf wars, like that's not your lane,
that's my lane, that's our jurisdiction, not yours. And so
what it seems like you're hearing from Kennedy here is
that he's like, Hey, we're gonna get rid of this
bureaucracy and all this crap, and we're gonna put the
groups together that need to be together together, and we're
not going to sit here and play turf war or
as we're dealing with America's health.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
What a novel idea.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Other offices relating to adjudicating or investigating disputes related to
Medicare or other areas of AJHS are moved to are
going to be moved to be under a new Assistant
Secretary of Enforcement.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Again consolidation, saving you money.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, they say, we'll
merge with the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluations to
form a new Office of strategy, it's my favorite fake
George Bush word there strategy, you know what I'm saying.
And programs for older adults currently under the Administration for
Community Living. Again, this is another example of them saying,
(21:41):
why are we wasting all this money? Why are we
having all of these different things under all these different agencies,
and why can't they all work together and at the
same time save Americans money.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
This is what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
This is exactly why there are so many people right
now that are so happy, and there's so many liberals
that are so angry because they love government waste, because
it empowers them. They love that the government traditionally, okay,
lets say it carefully, is a massive hiring force for
(22:17):
like minded radicals, liberals that have entrenched themselves in a
way that I don't think any of us could have
seen coming to totally dictate to America a government bureaucracy
filled with waste, fraud, and abuse, hooking each other's friends up.
(22:38):
This is exactly what the American people voted for. It's
exactly what the American people said that they wanted. Now,
by the way, Chuck Schumer, he's like completely unhinged right now,
Chuck Schumer had a press conference with other Democrats and
they lost it, like they Schumer really kind of went crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And what he said in his.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Comments was that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are quote
eroding the American dream with doge.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Trump and Musk are just eroding the American dream.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They're rigging the system for billionaires while stealing from the elderly,
from the disabled to cut taxes for their billionaire club.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I gotta say I love that, I really do.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I love what he is saying there because it's so
absurd that I think the majority of Americans.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Know just how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They had this conference and they sit there like Elon
Musk is eroding the American dream. How by giving Americans
more of their money back by making more Americans can
succeed because they may not have to pay as much
in taxes in the future after we get rid of
a trillion dollars in government waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Like I'm dead serious.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Tell me how they're and then they say, oh, and
this is what they always.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Go back to.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
They they they always go back to this, Okay, like
like they always go back to this.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They say over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Anytime they wanted to rail Republican idea, they say, oh, well,
you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna they're gonna
take away your Social Security, they're gonna take away your
safety net, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Take away everything that you have. They're gonna ruin your life.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
These evil and they're gonna give it to the rich, right,
and then that gets the many seniors all up in arms.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But I don't think right now it's working anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I I actually believe they've said it for so long
that the sky is falling chicken.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Little YadA YadA YadA, that they that they it's just
it's it's done.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Like I think people are just like Noll like no, like.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We've heard you say this too many times. We've heard
you say it too many times, and we don't believe you.
We've heard you say it so much that we think
you are just a liar, that you're lying to us
constantly about this, So we actually don't believe you. We
(25:24):
don't believe what you're saying, and we're not listening to
it because we think you're full of crap. And that's
the best part of all is that the American people
now they've overplayed their hand and the American people understand it. Like,
I really do believe this. I believe that the American
people truly truly understand it. And they're watching it and
(25:46):
they're witnessing it and they're like.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah, no, no, now, like we don't believe you. You can
say this is all you want, but we don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
This one. I really actually hope you guys will help
go viral.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It is just a classic example of like the left
and how I believe it is a mental disease.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
What these people like believe.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It says leftists, that's vandalism, and it's car burnout marks
over their Gay Pride sidewalks and then below it says
also leftists and it's literally burning Tesla's to the ground
and they're like, that's protesting. Yeah, if you guys want
to just hack off a lefty today, just go retweet
(26:36):
it real quick at Ben Ferguson show. You can find
it there. I just put that picture up. It's amazing
because it's so accurate.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Right, Like they're the.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Ones that are like, oh, it's a hate crime if
you do a burnout. Remember they were like hunting down.
They were actually hunting down people that did burnouts over
their gay pride sidewalks and crosswalks, and they were like
put them in jail. They were wanting it to be
a hate crime. But you tore Tesla dealerships and actually
plant bombs at Tesla dealerships Like no, no, totally good
(27:05):
and why because Elon Musk is taking away their power.
He's taking away their power by stopping our funding going
to the most ridiculous things in the world. Elon Musk
and his interview that he did with Brett Baer did Brett,
by the way, did one hell of a job with
his interview. I had the privilege of interviewing Elon Musk
Gosh the week before this, and Elon's one of these
(27:25):
guys like after meeting him, sitting down with him, talking
with him, and interviewing him with Centater Cruz. We did
this for the podcast We Do Verdict with Ted Cruz.
We did a two part sitting down with Eon and afterwards,
I'm like, dude, I like want to work for you,
I want to help you do this. I want to
be your biggest advocate, because what you understand is the
(27:45):
Left is trying to bankrupt him. They're trying to destroy
his doctor're trying to destroy his life's work.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
They're doing everything they can to hurt this man.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
He's genuinely concerned that he's going to be killed before
his work with Doe just finished. And yeah, here he
is still sitting with all these other brilliant minds around him,
trying to stop our government from wasting our tax dollars,
something that Barack Obama advocated for in twenty eleven, which
I played for you earlier, and nobody was torching anything
(28:13):
when Barack Obama said it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So what changed one person?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
A Democrat it was okay when they said it, and
they knew they weren't actually going to do it. But
a Republican says it is actually doing it, and they're like,
you know, off with their heads.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
In order to pass, you need the information, Mester. It noted,
you need to have the payment codes, you need to
have the payment explanation, and you need to have a
post and you can contact to understand why that payment
was made. None of those things were mandatory until until
just recently, just a few weeks ago, in fact, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The last week.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, we're serving five hundred and eighty plus agencies, and
up until very recently, effectively they could say make the
payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible,
no verification. And so what we're doing is what any
household would do. But imagine your household. You have a
bank account. Everyone has an ATM card connect to that account.
(29:04):
Everyone has a checkbook to that account. It's not just
your children, it's not just your parents, that your in lass.
It's your extended family and they all can go to
the account and disperse funds, no questions asked, no justification,
no verification.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This goes back to the the magic that money computers.
This is something that Elon said in our interviews when
we were sitting down and talking to him and he
was talking about these computers.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I want to play this for you. This is from
like a couple of weeks ago. Listen, magic money computers. Okay, well,
so tell us about it, because I've never heard of
that until you brought that up.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Okay, So you may think that these that the government
computers like all talk to each other, they synchronize, they
add up what funds are going somewhere, and it's you know,
it's coherent that that the you know, there's that, and
that the numbers, for example that you're present as a senator, yeah,
are actually the real numbers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And one would think, well, I would think they're not.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Yeah, okay, I mean they're not totally wrong, but they're
probably off by five percent or ten percent in some cases.
So I call it magic money computer and computer which
can just make money out of the air best magic money.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So how does that work?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
It just issues payments.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And you said something like eleven of these computers of
treasury that are that are sending out trillions in payments.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
They're mostly Treasury, some are with the sum at HHS,
some at there's one wanted to as States, there's some
at DoD. I think we found now fourteen magic money computers. Okay,
they just send money out of nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Out of nothing, magic money computers. They just send money
out of nothing. That is how our government has been operating.
That's why they call it magic money computers. And they're
fourteen of these these magic computers at the federal government.
They just send money out of nothing. And now you
understand why Democrats want this guy dead for this exact reason.
(31:10):
Right here, by the way, that clip I just put
it up on x so share it, make it liberal angry,
I gotta tell you, it is so much fun to
watch all of the winning that is happening when it
comes to getting rid of government. Wys Doe has now
come out saying the Department of Labor has canceled five
hundred and seventy seven million in America last grants, including
funding for gender equity in the quote Mexican workplace.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Don't blame me for this.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm just giving you the numbers, so let me dial
you through this latest massive cut. The US Department of
Labor canceling the five hundred and seventy seven million of
America ASS contracts, including ten million that was going for
gender equity and the Mexican workplace quote unquote. The Department
of Government Efficiency is announced great work today by USDOL
(00:46):
and the Secretary. They're canceling the five hundred and seventy
seven million in America ASS grants for two hundred and
thirty seven million in savings. Listing some examples of the
wasteful grants that were canceled, one of the grants was
worth a ten million dollars that was litterally described as
gender equity in the Mexican workplace. There was another twelve
(01:08):
point two million that was for worker empowerment not in
America but South America. And six point twenty five million
was for quote improving respect for workers' rights and agricultural
supply chains, and not in this country, not America, but
in Honduras, in Guatemala and El Salvador. Now the cancel
(01:33):
grants were intended for other countries as well, including three
million for safe and inclusive work environments, three million to
enhance social security access and worker protections for internal migrant
workers in Bangladesh.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Why the hell would we be.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Paying for that, four point three million for assisting foreign
migrant workers in Malaysia, and five million for elevating women's
participation in the workplace in West Africa. All of this
coming from the Department of Government Efficiency telling the story. Yes,
(02:13):
you should be angry obviously by all of this that you're.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Hearing right now now.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
This follows DOGE updating its savings leader board, which now
touts one hundred and thirty billion in estimated savings. Dog's
website explains that this is a combination of asset sales,
contract and least cancelations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment
deletion grant cancelations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and
(02:49):
workplace reductions, which breaks down to a savings of eight
hundred and seven dollars and forty five cents so far
per tax payer.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
In this country.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Jog's currently displays nine thousand, two d eighty nine grant terminations,
which alone total thirty two billion in savings for the
American people. Do't just continued, by the way, to uncover
even more waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government. President
Trump highlighting many of these findings during his speech before
Congress earlier this month, where he talked about the twenty
(03:22):
two billion from AHHS to provide free housing and cars
for illegal aliens. I don't want my tax dollars going
for that, Call me old fashioned, by the way.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Or forty five million for.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships not in America but in Burma.
Forty million to improve the social and economic inclusion of migrants. Yeah,
sedentary migrants, I should say, Trump began.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Adding, quote, nobody knows what that.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What's a sedentary migrant even is? How about the eight
million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the Africa nations
which nobody's ever heard of, sixty million for Indigenous people
of Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America, Yes, sixty million dollars,
(04:18):
and eight million for making mice transgender, reminding Americans that
this is real and it continues to be a growing
list that deals with waste, fraud, and abuse. What's also
interesting is how Elon Musk has just been so focused
on all of this and has made it clear that
(04:39):
we are being transparent in what we are finding. The
amount of money that Elon Musk is finding and the
people around him are finding is even shocking.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think it's pretty clear to say to.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Elon Musk, but can we also just go back to
why it is that Democrats hate this so much.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's because they want to control every aspect of our lives.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I also want to take you back to when Democrats
were in favor of cutting waste and promoting efficiency.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
How do I know that?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I only have to go back to November the ninth
of twenty eleven, when Barack Obama on the official White
House website had the video underneath it where it said
cutting waste and promoting efficiency with the date and the
presidential seal. And what did President Barack Obama say back then?
He had a dough style executive order to cut waste
(05:32):
and promote efficiency, saying it was time to get our
government under control. My question is, why did you not
lose your minds then when Barack Obama was saying that
we needed to do it? And why is it now
that you're losing your minds as a guy by the
name of Elon Musk does it with Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think we all know the answer to that. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
They would rather have Donald Trump fail than for America
in our economy to succeed, because it's not about what's
best for the American people or the American taxpayer. It's
about what's best for their power as socialists, as communists,
as Marxists. I want to play for you what Barack
Obama said back in twenty eleven, and no one said
(06:15):
that this was insane in the Democratic Party. No one
was out there losing their minds the way they are
now with Elon Mosk.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Instead, they were.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
All in favor of it because it was coming from
a black Democrat by the name of Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
One of the commitments that I made of American people
was that we would do a better job here in
Washington in rooting out wasteful spender. At a time when
families have had to cut back and had to make
some tough decisions about getting rid of the things that
they don't need in order to make the investments that
they do, we've thought that it was entirely appropriate for
(06:52):
our governments and our agencies to try to root out
waste large and small in a systematic weight. Obviously, this
is even more important given the deficits that we've inherited
and that have grown as a consequence of this recession.
This makes these efforts even more imperative. Now, this does
(07:14):
mean making us some tough choices. It means cutting some
programs that I think are worthy but we may not
be able to record right now. We don't need to
wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful
spending that's out there. Cutting waste, making government more efficient
is something that leaders in both parties have worked on,
(07:35):
from Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican, to Democrat Claire mccaskell.
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as
we'd like, and that's why we launched on our own Initiative,
the Campaign to Cut Waste, not just to cut spending,
but to make government work better for the American people.
For example, we've identified thousands of government buildings that we
(07:59):
don't need. Some of them sat empty four years. So
we're getting rid of those properties and that's going to
save the American people millions of dollars. Roger Rhodes works
at the Department of Commerce. Raise your hand, running there's Rodger.
He found a way to save the Department almost two
million dollars a year on its cell phone bills. And
(08:20):
I'm sure that there're probably some consumers out there that
like to talk to them and find out what they
could save on their cell phone bills. Celeste Steele is here, Celeste,
Raise your hands. Celeste works at the Department of Homeland Security,
and she's helping to save taxpayers tens of millions of
dollars by changing the way that department buys goods and services.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
This is no different than what Barack Obama or s
Donald Trump is doing, or Elon Musk is doing. In fact,
he's got his team in essence of Doge behind him
at the time. And you know, if you had an
Elon must tweet this out. I think it was like
three or four hours ago. He said, take it to
heish shot. Every time Obama says government efficiency, right, like
(09:04):
you listened to him and he's like obsessed with it
back in two thousand and now you've abandoned it, right.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Democrats went to him and said, no, no, you can't
do this, dude.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
This is our gravy trained man, like, you can't cut
all of our programs, like we got to have this
stuff because we've got to buy voters. And he and
clearly he you know, was stout right. He didn't man
up and actually do it. But if you listen to
Obama and you took a tequila shot every time Obama
said government efficiency, you'd be hammered in the hospital begging
for your life.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Also tasked Vice President Biden to work with the secretaries
of all our agencies to identify some systemic areas of
potential improvement travel transportation, IT services.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
By the way, I love this Barack Obama, Like, if
Barack Obama would have done this, if Joe Biden would
have done what they said here and not been corrupt
as hell and weaponizing the government against the American people
and weaponizing the irs against the party.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Patriots like I could have gotten along with this guy.
But again I go back to the core point here.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If you want to know why Democrats are going insane
over Elon Musk and Doge and Donald Trump, it's it's
because they're losing their gravy train. They had no problem
with Barack Obama saying it. They have no problem with
any other Democrats saying the same thing, as long as
(10:30):
it was their party that was in charge. I'll give
you another example of this, Brett Baher sit down at
the White House with some of the DOGE workers and
Elon Musk, and I want you to hear one of
their stories.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Listen carefully, and it.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Is alarming how the financial operations of financial management is
set up today. There is actually really only one bank
account that's used to disperse all monies that go out
of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Talk about one blank account.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's a big one. It's it's a big one. A
couple of weeks ago, I had eight hundred million dollars
in it. But it's the Treasury edital account. So when
you hear you know, some of my colleagues here what
they're talking about in terms of the fraud you have
to ask, well, why is this allowed to happen at
a financial level. Well, it's actually quite simple but alarming.
(11:21):
The Treasury up until now, and thanks to President Trump,
we're fixing this. In fact, there's an executive order that
he just signed the other day which is protecting America's
bank account because it really is the tax payer of money,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
One, we're changing the culture.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
The culture is been not a lot of caring and
not a lot of commitment to doing what's right. Relative
to financial operations. There's a five hundred million dollars a
fraud every year. There's one hundreds of million dollars of
in proper payments, and we can't pass it on it.
The Consolidated Financial Report is produced by Treasury, and we
(11:55):
cannot pass it on.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We have material weaknesses.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
What that means is that if I was a public
company's CFO, I would effectively be removed. I couldn't file
financial statements, I couldn't issue securities.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Can't pass it on right, the federal government cannot pass
it in order. It's impossible.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
In fact, let's just stop there, Elon Musk, and I'm
going to play a second part of this in a
second But what Elon must said, the United States government.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Couldn't pass an audit. Do you want to know why?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Because they set this up deliberately to make sure they
never had to deal with an audit so they could
then encourage the waste, fraud, and abuse to their cronies
and political allies, whether it's PBS or NPR, or or
transsitioning mice to be training mice. This is or Sesame
(12:43):
Street in Iraq or wherever.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
The hell we did that. This is the problem.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But I want to go back to a point I
was making a second.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Ago, and that is this.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
There is a group of people in this country called Democrats,
and I'm talking about their leadership.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
They aren't really democrats.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
They are Marxists, they're socialists, they're communists, it's all three.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They're anarchists. Throw them in there.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
They may be a mixture of everything, like a just
a hot bag, and you know what, And they're masquerading
as Democrats because they don't believe that the American people
are fully ready for them to just say I'm a
socialist or I'm a communist. Like now, in some parts
of the country there have been a declared socialists and
communists have actually won elections, so they believe they're coming
(13:28):
around to this. The American people like, they believe there's
enough of these socialist Marxists and communists that are being
created in our in our public school system, in our
college institutions, that are being in doctrinary that at some
point they'll say, like, yeah, we're not Democrats more.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But they gott to lie to you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But they have no problem with their own party saying
what was said by Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They didn't burn down.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
People's belongings because he said it when he said it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
They didn't torch people.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They didn't they didn't become anarchists, they didn't go crazy.
I'll give you another example of just the corruption here,
and I would play you the audio clip, but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Actually not in English.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But Zelensky just came out and this is a perfect
example of the left. And he says, Ukraine quote will
not recognize all of the previous US military aid as
debt quote unquote, we're not recognizing debts. He went on
to say this, and this is from earlier today. Now
this is the same guy that's begging us for more money.
Trump's liking. I don't know about that. And now the
(14:27):
guy's like, well, if you think we're gonna do a
deal to take on that debt when you gave us
all that money.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
With that last administration, you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It ain't happening on the issue of debts, Zelensky said.
If the issue is raised, we are not recognizing debts.
As I said, I mean, the US AID is in
the past at least again. If there are any prospects
new aid packages in the United States, can probably set
some conditions realizing that this team will not do anything
for free. They say it officially right. I love how
(14:56):
he's like acting like that's a bad thing. No, this
administration is not gonna give you a bunch of money.
And by the way Zolensky's own words, we don't know
where half of the money is gone.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
By the way, I know exactly where it's gone.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's gone to the Ukrainian oligarchs around Zolensky, who are
all hanging out in five star hotels in Warsaw. That's
where the damn money's going. Bo When he sits, he's like, well,
we're not gonna recognize the fine. Then then shut off
the spout. You don't want any more aid from us
with conditions, no problem, like please save me the money.
(15:29):
I'm more than happy for that to happen. I think
the majority of the American people would agree with me.
This is the best part about what is happening right
now in our government. Another example of this, AHHS Secretary
Kennedy is now planning to cut ten thousand jobs. The
Health and the Human Services Secretary is expected to announce
(15:51):
drastic changes to his department, including cutting ten thousand full
time employees and closing regional offices. Wording to documents outlining
the plan. The cuts in the workforce are in addition
to roughly ten thousand employees who chose to leave their
jobs through voluntary separation plans after Donald Trump took office.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
This being well reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The cuts include Food and Drug Administration three thousand, five
hundred full time employees, or nineteen percent of the workforce,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention two thy four hundred employees,
or about eighteen percent of their workforce national instead of
healthy two hundred employees or about six percent of their workforce.
(16:39):
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services three hundred employees
or four percent of their workforce.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The plan would shrink the.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Department to about sixty two thousand by removing one quarter
of its workforce and eliminating five of HHS's ten regional offices.
According to the documents, which add and essential health services
will not be affected.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The employees being let go are.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Spread among departments nationwide that are tasked with the approvals
of new drugs, providing insurance for the nation's poorest people,
responding to disease outbreaks.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And more.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Those are the different issues that we're talking about here.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The CDC, meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Will return to its core mission of preparing for and
responding to epidemics. According to documents, it cuts are not
to come from divisions that focus on infectious diseases.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
An HSS official has.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Confirmed the reorganization further calls to quote centralize HHS communications,
information technology, procurement, human resources, and policy planning efforts that
are now distributed through the department's divisions in some branches.
The Secretary is also planning to create a new subdivision,
(17:57):
the Administration for Healthy America, combining HHS offices addressing toxic substances,
occupational safety, addiction, and more into one central office. The
we'll focus the programs addressing clinic disease prevention and health
(18:17):
resources for low income Americans. Kennedy, a frequent critic of
the AHHS in the past, ran for Presidents you know
last year on a platform of addressing chronic disease in America.
After he endorsed Trump in August, the two said they
were going to make America quote unquote healthy again. The
Trump administration, through efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency
(18:38):
led by Elon Musk, has cut thousands of federal government employees.
Several lawsuits, by the way, been filed on challenging the
people that are crying about I should keep my job.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They're not flinching. By the way, the.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Cuts are not to affect the FDA's inspectors or food reviewers.
Why am I telling you all this because you know
what they're gonna do. The Left is going to tell
you that you're gonna get sick and die, and they're
putting your health at risk by making these cuts. So
that's why I want you to understand where the cuts
are and where they're not. So again, this list I'm
giving you right now is extremely important.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I hope you'll share it with everyone you know.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Because you know, the left's gonna say, oh, well, we're
not gonna have you food inspectors out there, You're gonna
die of some terrible disease.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Again the facts the.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Cuts are not affected the affecting the FDA's inspectors or
food reviewers, and several FDA probationary workers who had been
cut last month were rehired a week later. The plans
also call for several offices to shift. They say the
Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, which oversees the Strategic
(19:44):
National Stockpile and pandemic Preparedness Planning, is to be moved
under the CDC rather than operating as it does now
as a separate division. Kennedy's Administration for a Healthy America
is to include the Health Resources and Services Administration, as
well the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the
Substance Abuse and the Mental Health Services Administration, along with
(20:08):
two divisions under the CDC, the Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Regular Registry and the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Now, why does that matter?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
This reminds me of our government before nine to eleven.
Before nine to eleven, the CIA wasn't really talking with
the FBI, and the FBI wasn't really talking with others.
They were all kind of separate, doing their own thing.
And what we found out was some of the things
that we missed before nine to eleven were actually because
(20:41):
there was too many turf wars, like that's not your lane,
that's my lane, that's our jurisdiction, not yours. And so
what it seems like you're hearing from Kennedy here is
that he's like, Hey, we're gonna get rid of this
bureaucracy and all this crap, and we're gonna put the
groups together that need to be together together, and we're
not going to sit here and play turf war or
as we're dealing with America's health.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
What a novel idea.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Other offices relating to adjudicating or investigating disputes related to
Medicare or other areas of AJHS are moved to are
going to be moved to be under a new Assistant
Secretary of Enforcement.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Again consolidation, saving you money.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, they say, we'll
merge with the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluations to
form a new Office of strategy, it's my favorite fake
George Bush word there strategy, you know what I'm saying.
And programs for older adults currently under the Administration for
Community Living. Again, this is another example of them saying,
(21:41):
why are we wasting all this money? Why are we
having all of these different things under all these different agencies,
and why can't they all work together and at the
same time save Americans money.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
This is what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
This is exactly why there are so many people right
now that are so happy, and there's so many liberals
that are so angry because they love government waste, because
it empowers them. They love that the government traditionally, okay,
lets say it carefully, is a massive hiring force for
(22:17):
like minded radicals, liberals that have entrenched themselves in a
way that I don't think any of us could have
seen coming to totally dictate to America a government bureaucracy
filled with waste, fraud, and abuse, hooking each other's friends up.
(22:38):
This is exactly what the American people voted for. It's
exactly what the American people said that they wanted. Now,
by the way, Chuck Schumer, he's like completely unhinged right now,
Chuck Schumer had a press conference with other Democrats and
they lost it, like they Schumer really kind of went crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And what he said in his.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Comments was that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are quote
eroding the American dream with doge.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Trump and Musk are just eroding the American dream.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They're rigging the system for billionaires while stealing from the elderly,
from the disabled to cut taxes for their billionaire club.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I gotta say I love that, I really do.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I love what he is saying there because it's so
absurd that I think the majority of Americans.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Know just how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They had this conference and they sit there like Elon
Musk is eroding the American dream. How by giving Americans
more of their money back by making more Americans can
succeed because they may not have to pay as much
in taxes in the future after we get rid of
a trillion dollars in government waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Like I'm dead serious.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Tell me how they're and then they say, oh, and
this is what they always.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Go back to.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
They they they always go back to this, Okay, like
like they always go back to this.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They say over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Anytime they wanted to rail Republican idea, they say, oh, well,
you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna they're gonna
take away your Social Security, they're gonna take away your
safety net, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Take away everything that you have. They're gonna ruin your life.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
These evil and they're gonna give it to the rich, right,
and then that gets the many seniors all up in arms.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But I don't think right now it's working anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I I actually believe they've said it for so long
that the sky is falling chicken.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Little YadA YadA YadA, that they that they it's just
it's it's done.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Like I think people are just like Noll like no, like.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We've heard you say this too many times. We've heard
you say it too many times, and we don't believe you.
We've heard you say it so much that we think
you are just a liar, that you're lying to us
constantly about this, So we actually don't believe you. We
(25:24):
don't believe what you're saying, and we're not listening to
it because we think you're full of crap. And that's
the best part of all is that the American people
now they've overplayed their hand and the American people understand it. Like,
I really do believe this. I believe that the American
people truly truly understand it. And they're watching it and
(25:46):
they're witnessing it and they're like.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah, no, no, now, like we don't believe you. You can
say this is all you want, but we don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
This one. I really actually hope you guys will help
go viral.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It is just a classic example of like the left
and how I believe it is a mental disease.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
What these people like believe.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It says leftists, that's vandalism, and it's car burnout marks
over their Gay Pride sidewalks and then below it says
also leftists and it's literally burning Tesla's to the ground
and they're like, that's protesting. Yeah, if you guys want
to just hack off a lefty today, just go retweet
(26:36):
it real quick at Ben Ferguson show. You can find
it there. I just put that picture up. It's amazing
because it's so accurate.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Right, Like they're the.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Ones that are like, oh, it's a hate crime if
you do a burnout. Remember they were like hunting down.
They were actually hunting down people that did burnouts over
their gay pride sidewalks and crosswalks, and they were like
put them in jail. They were wanting it to be
a hate crime. But you tore Tesla dealerships and actually
plant bombs at Tesla dealerships Like no, no, totally good
(27:05):
and why because Elon Musk is taking away their power.
He's taking away their power by stopping our funding going
to the most ridiculous things in the world. Elon Musk
and his interview that he did with Brett Baer did Brett,
by the way, did one hell of a job with
his interview. I had the privilege of interviewing Elon Musk
Gosh the week before this, and Elon's one of these
(27:25):
guys like after meeting him, sitting down with him, talking
with him, and interviewing him with Centater Cruz. We did
this for the podcast We Do Verdict with Ted Cruz.
We did a two part sitting down with Eon and afterwards,
I'm like, dude, I like want to work for you,
I want to help you do this. I want to
be your biggest advocate, because what you understand is the
(27:45):
Left is trying to bankrupt him. They're trying to destroy
his doctor're trying to destroy his life's work.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
They're doing everything they can to hurt this man.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
He's genuinely concerned that he's going to be killed before
his work with Doe just finished. And yeah, here he
is still sitting with all these other brilliant minds around him,
trying to stop our government from wasting our tax dollars,
something that Barack Obama advocated for in twenty eleven, which
I played for you earlier, and nobody was torching anything
(28:13):
when Barack Obama said it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So what changed one person?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
A Democrat it was okay when they said it, and
they knew they weren't actually going to do it. But
a Republican says it is actually doing it, and they're like,
you know, off with their heads.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
In order to pass, you need the information, Mester. It noted,
you need to have the payment codes, you need to
have the payment explanation, and you need to have a
post and you can contact to understand why that payment
was made. None of those things were mandatory until until
just recently, just a few weeks ago, in fact, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The last week.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, we're serving five hundred and eighty plus agencies, and
up until very recently, effectively they could say make the
payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible,
no verification. And so what we're doing is what any
household would do. But imagine your household. You have a
bank account. Everyone has an ATM card connect to that account.
(29:04):
Everyone has a checkbook to that account. It's not just
your children, it's not just your parents, that your in lass.
It's your extended family and they all can go to
the account and disperse funds, no questions asked, no justification,
no verification.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This goes back to the the magic that money computers.
This is something that Elon said in our interviews when
we were sitting down and talking to him and he
was talking about these computers.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I want to play this for you. This is from
like a couple of weeks ago. Listen, magic money computers. Okay, well,
so tell us about it, because I've never heard of
that until you brought that up.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Okay, So you may think that these that the government
computers like all talk to each other, they synchronize, they
add up what funds are going somewhere, and it's you know,
it's coherent that that the you know, there's that, and
that the numbers, for example that you're present as a senator, yeah,
are actually the real numbers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And one would think, well, I would think they're not.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Yeah, okay, I mean they're not totally wrong, but they're
probably off by five percent or ten percent in some cases.
So I call it magic money computer and computer which
can just make money out of the air best magic money.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So how does that work?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
It just issues payments.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And you said something like eleven of these computers of
treasury that are that are sending out trillions in payments.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
They're mostly Treasury, some are with the sum at HHS,
some at there's one wanted to as States, there's some
at DoD. I think we found now fourteen magic money computers. Okay,
they just send money out of nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Out of nothing, magic money computers. They just send money
out of nothing. That is how our government has been operating.
That's why they call it magic money computers. And they're
fourteen of these these magic computers at the federal government.
They just send money out of nothing. And now you
understand why Democrats want this guy dead for this exact reason.
(31:10):
Right here, by the way, that clip I just put
it up on x so share it, make it liberal angry,
