Speaker 1 (00:01):
There is a lot to be cheering for right now
in this country, especially when it comes to getting rid
of fraud, waste, and abuse. The President of the United
States of America not stopping when it comes to fighting
to make sure that America is first. There are also
new words coming out about tariffs and what those will
look like is those on the left are continue to

(00:22):
lie about the tariffs and what the actually plans are.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Trump has announced a reciprocal tariff plan. What countries charge us,
we will charge them. In a new move, the President
said a memorandum announcing that he would introduce a plan
to impose reciprocal tariffs on all countries at tariff US exports.
Trump discussed this memo, which you knowed, we'll quote introduce

(00:47):
the fair and reciprocal plan, while flanked by his nominee
for Commerce Secretary in the Oval Office. The move came
just hours before he was set to meet with the
Indian Prime Minister as well, sending a clear message that
now is at the time to mess with America. It's
different now than it has been before and on trade, I.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Have decided, for purposes of fairness, that I will charge
a reciprocal tariff meeting. Whatever countries charged the United States
of America, we will charge them no more, no less.
In other words, they charge us a text or tariff,
and we charge them the exact same texts or terriff.

(01:28):
First of all, nobody knows what that number is unless
you go by the individual country. You can see what
it is. If you go to the individual country and
you look at what they're charging us. In almost all
cases they're charging us vastly more than we charge them.
But those days are over.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Those days are over.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
It is obvious that the present's not messing around anymore
when it comes to putting America last. Like the last
administration did on trade courte, I decided, for purposes of
fairness that I will charge a reciprocal tariff.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's up to the other country.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
In other words, you want to charge a ten percent,
We're going to charge you ten percent. You want to
go fifteen, we'll go fifteen. You want to go fifty,
we'll go fifteen. Other words, they charge us at tax
or tariff, and we charge them the exact same tax
or tariff. Now Trump bad that other countries charge vastly more,
and he is correct.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
He said that day is over.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
The memo itself notes this, it is the policy of
the United States to reduce our large and persistent annual
trade deficit in goods and to address other unfair and
unbalanced aspects of our trade with foreign trading partners. In
pursuit of this policy, I will introduce the Fair and
Reciprocal Plan. Under the Plan, my administration will work to

(02:42):
counter non reciprocal trading arrangements with trading partners to by
determining the equivalent of a reciprocal tariff with respect to
each foreign trading partner. A White House fact sheet on
the memo also states that the plan will put the
American work first, improve our competitiveness in every area of

(03:03):
the industry, reduce our trade deficit, and bolster our economic
and national security. The administration provided several examples of trade imbalances.
For instance, Brazil charges a eighteen percent tariff on ethanol
imported from the US, while the US has a one
point five percent tariff on ethanol imports, marking a significant

(03:25):
disparity with Brazil on this front. The document also points
out an imbalance with India, which the present was meeting
with after he made this announcement. The US average applied
most favored nation tariff on agricultural goods is five percent,
but India's average applied tariff is thirty nine percent. India

(03:48):
also charges one hundred percent tariff on US motorcycles, while
we only charge a two point four percent tariff on
Indian motorcycles. The fact sheet shows this is an example
of America being last in our policies, and now he's
going to change that. So you want to charge one
hundred percent tariff on US motorcycles coming into India, that's fine,
but when you bring him into this country, it'll be

(04:10):
one hundred percent as well. Trump, who said in the
campaign trail in October that the most beautiful word in
the dictionary is tariff, has made headlines using tariffs in
the first weeks of his administration and other headline reads today.
There has been a pause in implementing the twenty five
percent tariffs Trump placed on Canada Mexico earlier this month

(04:30):
after the countries took measures to increase security at the
border that they share with the United States America.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
That was what he wanted.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Vice President Jeddie Vance, during an interview this week at
the West Wing Office, detailed four distinct purposes for the tariff,
saying this quote.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
A friend of mine.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Talked about how tariff's actually accomplished four things. They can
be used as diplomatic leverage. That's number one. Number two,
they can raise revenue. Number three, they can reshore industries.
And number four, they can help us build economic relationships,
because it is if you're putting tariffs on one country,
you're not putting tariffs on another, or not necessarily, so

(05:10):
it gives opportunity there. And it's really interesting that for
one hundred and eighty years, America became the wealthiest, most prosperous,
and most powerful country in the world by using tariffs,
sometimes selectively, sometimes more aggressively. But it's like the entire
last fifty years, they become a dirty word. Why Again,
it's the bias towards inaction versus the bias towards action.

(05:33):
He went on to say, So, the President is not
backing down. The media is trying to make this worst
case scenario and they're trying to make it where somehow
Americans are being hurt by every decision that Donald Trump makes.
The problem is the American people still.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Aren't buying it. They're not believing the media. Right now,
and they're not believing.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
The left, which is great for everyone because in twenty sixteen,
I honestly don't think Donald Trump could be doing what
he's doing right now now. Also, Doge has Dems defending
every crazy waste of money that is out there. That
is something else that is great about what's happened here.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And we now have.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Found out that the layoffs are coming. This is another major,
big part of this conversation that people should be very
excited about. Take a listen to this from Fox News about.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
The layoffs, not laying hands, but laying people off.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Or hangovers that are not going to go away. That's right.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, Doge this week is laying off get this, three thousand,
six hundred probationary employees, four thousand employees retained, and so
then the savings is six.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Hundred million dollars.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
So I guess a probationary doesn't mean they're on probation.
It means that they were just recently hired and they're
during this probationary period, which makes it easier for DOGE
and the government to let go of them if they
decide that their jobs are not necessary.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Well, and this is a guy with Elon Musk. We
saw when he took over Twitter. I mean he slashed
a lot of the employees. It's still running just fine.
But the biggest problem where we are now as a
country with our federal government, it's too big. This wasn't
this is not supposed This is not the original vision
of America. We were supposed to have a decentralized government.
That was the whole vision of the founding father. So
what we have now is the antithesis of what America

(07:23):
is supposed to be. And when government becomes so centralized
and so big, it becomes corrupt, correct, And that's what
we're saying. And that's what we saw with the Biden
administration going after people under the Face Act, going after
its political opponents without fear. And so what this election
is about is the American people taking their power back.
It's a We the People election, and we're seeing a
we the People administration.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
You look at these in the way that Fox discussed this.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
DOGE lays off three thousand, six hundred probationary HHS employees,
saving six hundred million dollars annually. We're not saving a
million here and a million year. What DOGE is doing
is they're saving US billions here and billions there, six
hundred million just from this one move. As it was described,

(08:11):
you have three thousand and six hundred people costing US
six hundred million dollars annually, and they're going.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
To be out of a job.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
As a department of government efficiency shines a light on
government waste.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Every American should be.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Glad about this, this happening on Friday.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Many were excluded from the layoffs.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
According to Fox News, the move may result in taxpayers
saving six hundred million dollars every year, adding that over
half of the HHS's probationary workers remained with the agency.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
The outlet continued.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Doge identified critical employees by first considering key functions of
HHS frontline healthcare providers, scientists conducting innovative research, personnel responding
to emergencies, followed by employee roles including work history, background,
and job title screenings. In many case, this is where
there was a lack of clarity. We work directly with

(09:04):
folks who either knew the employees or knew the work
of the division to clarify the exact work they were
doing and guess what they're like.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Okay, well, now we can start getting rid of people.
We don't need them. This is what Donald Trump was
elected to do. When he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I want to take a moment real quick and just
pause and say thank you to all of you that
have been helping the people in Israel through the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And for more than a
year of war, they've been dealing with it, terror and
pain in Israel. There's still a great demand for basic
humanitarian aid. That is where the International Fellowship of Christians

(09:42):
and Jews has supported and continues to support those in
the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war,
and those who are desperate for need right now. Your
gift today will provide critically needed aid communities in the
North and South that have been devas by the ongoing war.
Your generous donation will help deliver food for those in need,

(10:05):
including evacuees and refugees from war torn areas, first responders
and volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, and families who
have lost everything in so many more. You can give
hope during a time of great uncertainty. So give a
gift to bless Israel and er people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ

(10:28):
dot org. That's one word, support IFCJ dot org. Or
you can call them eight a eight four eight eight IFCJ.
That's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight A
eight four eight eight four three two five, or support
IFCJ dot org. Now, in addition, over sixty five thousand

(10:52):
federal workers reportedly accepted President Donald Trump's recent buyout offer.
That is the last number that we've got. This number continues,
by the way, to be updated. And that is also
going to save us an insane amount of money.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
And that's something else.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
That people should be really excited about, because it started
twenty thousand, then it jumped to forty thousand last week.
Then it's at sixty five thousand. That number we're hearing
maybe up to eighty this week, but for sure, now
it's more than sixty five thousand federal workers that have
reportedly accepted the Trump administration's buyout offer. As this federal

(11:29):
judge was jumping in on the matter and YadA, it
doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Like I'm telling you, it's going to happen. Why are
these federal employees taking this buyout because they don't want
to work.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's what it boils down to.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
These people don't want to come into an office and
they don't want to work, so they're accepting the offer
from the Trump administration to either quit their government job
willingly with extended pay and benefits, or stay at risk
of being downsize anyway. So it's like the perfect scenario
where it's like, hey, if you want to roll the
dice instead because you think you're essential, then knock yourself out.
But if you think you're you know, probably like worthless employee,

(12:09):
take the money and the benefits and walk away with
some cash in your hand.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Here's what it says.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Quote, if you resign under this program, you'll retain all
paid benefits regardless of your daily workload, and will be
exempted from all applicable in person work requirements until September
thirtieth of twenty twenty five, or earlier if you choose
to accelerate your resignation for any reason. The memo, sent

(12:36):
in January to roughly two million federal employees reads in
part warning that employees who wish to stay will face
quote enhanced standards of suitability and conduct, and still there
would be the risk of elimination as government agencies planned
to downsize via restructuring, realignments, and reductions in force. So

(12:58):
they're letting you know, like beware, there's a very good
chance that you could still lose your job. So if
you're thinking about, you know, like leaving, or you're thinking
about being lazy, or you don't really want to work,
or you don't want to come into work, you better
take the free money. I just got by the way,
I text, I text the Congressman while we were chatting

(13:18):
about this, and I got I said, hey, do we
have an upbead number?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You said, it's going to be closer to ninety thousand who.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Are going to take the offer, and that number they
expect to actually rise from there. That represents about three
percent of those that were offered the deal. A large
job cut by many measures, but short of what the
White House's goal was. The White House went to slash
between five and ten percent of the federal workforce through buyouts.

(13:43):
Now what that means is there's still going to be
more cuts coming after the federal workers that quit. Now
this ninety grand let's call it ninety thousand, all right,
that looks like the reality the number is going to
get there follows the offer extending to workers in the
Department of Home in Security, cyber Security, and Infrastructure Security Agency.

(14:05):
A federal judge in Massachusetts, by the way, got involved
in this on all of this triggered by a federal
worker union lawsuit. The White House also confirmed like, hey,
we're still moving forward and we're not worried about it.
Earlier in the week, the White House officials said sixty
five thousand workers had signed up to leave their jobs
while being paid until September thirtieth, and the preceretery Caroline

(14:28):
Levitt described federal employees who have been working remotely as lazy,
saying they don't want to come into the office and
if they want to rip the American people off, then
they're welcome to take this buyout now. The news also
comes as the Department of Government Efficiency and it's head
Musque are saying they're focused on downsides and the size

(14:48):
of government. This is wins for the American taxpayer in
a variety of ways, including the termination of federal diversity,
equity and inclusion contracts, consulting contracts, federal subscriptions to establish
media organizations, the amount of money that he is saving
us right now is so great Doe just saving us
and Elad Musk is saving us that there is If

(15:09):
you look at the national debt clock, and this is
one of those things I would actually tell you that
you should look at because the national debt clock.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Is something that I look at often.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I actually have the tab saved on my computer, so
because I look at it all the time. Right now,
debt per citizen in this country is one hundred and
seven two hundred and twenty dollars. Now, not every citizen, right,
because there's some that are handicapped, there's some that are retired,
there are some that are unemployed, don't make any money.
There are many Americans who are under the age of

(15:44):
eighteen that don't pay taxes. So if you actually look
at that amount of money and you do debt per taxpayer,
the number is three hundred and twenty three thousand per
taxpayers what we have in national debt, and this number
is just continue to skyrocket. Now if you look at
our US federal debt to GDP ratio, to put it

(16:05):
in perspective, in nineteen eighty it was at thirty four percent.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Do you want to know where we are now?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
We're at one hundred and twenty three percent our US
federal debt to GDP ratio. We were at thirty four
percent in nineteen eighty. We are now one hundred and
twenty three percent and rising. The interest on our national
debt is over a trillion dollars. Okay, the largest budget
items in our budget right now. The fourth largest budget

(16:34):
item is interest. So Medicare and Medicaid is our largest
budget item at one point six trillion. Social Security is
one point four eight eight trillion, Defense is eight hundred
and eighty billion, so little less than a trillion. And
then the interest on our debt is over a trillion
at one trillion and change. That's how messed up our

(16:58):
budget is right now. And this doesn't just fix itself.
That's why Donald Trump and Elon Musker doing what they're doing.
So there is now a Doge clock which is actually
showing that we're going in the other direction. The Doge clock,
if you go to the US Debt clock out of ORG.
It's is the Department of Government Efficiency Advisory Commission, the

(17:19):
Real Time Saving Objective for reducing government waste, fraud, abuse
and federal government agencies. And then there's the clock up
there right now, and it's awesome because the doge clock
right now is one that is just skyrocketing. How much
money we're saving is there and you can see it,
and it's real. This is what Americans voted Donald Trump

(17:41):
in office to do.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
This is what they wanted.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
So not only are these employees getting this buyout, but
these employees are also you know, there's also people that
are gonna get fired, and that's part of it. I'll
give you another example of just some of the fraud
and abuse that has come out over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
The USDA has.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Now acted millions in contracts, including two hundred and thirty
thousand for Brazilian forest and gender consultant.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm gonna let that marinate for a second.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's not even in America, and we're spending two hundred
and thirty thousand for a Brazilian force and gender consultant.
So what does that do?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
All right? Tell you more of the story.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
The U s Department of Agriculture knows the USDA has
slashed millions in contracts that we're active under the Biden administration. Now,
this is just pure money laundering, okay, including for a
Brazilian force and gender consultant. And a Central American gender
assessment consultant. The new Secretary of Agriculture Agriculture Brooke Rawlins

(18:55):
announced the cuts Friday, saying that the department is terminated
seventy eight contracts totally more than one hundred and thirty
two million.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's costing you the taxpayers.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Roland said one thousand contracts are also currently under review
for potential termination. The findings are the result of review
by Elon muss led Department of Government of Efficiency, saying quote,
I want to welcome doge's efforts at USDA because we
know that its work makes us better, stronger, faster, and
more efficient. I will expect full access and transparency to

(19:27):
dogs in the days and the weeks to come.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
So this is an example.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Now among the one hundred and thirty two million in
terminated contracts, here are some of the highlights. Two point
seven seven million in media contracts, including Politico subscriptions. So
this is how we were subsidizing Politico to then attack conservatives, right,
we were paying them for state sponsored media. Three hundred
and seventy four thousand for diversity, equity inclusion on boarding specialists.

(19:54):
That's gone two hundred and twenty nine thousand for Brazilian
Force and Gender Consultant. That's gone twenty nine thousand for
Essential American Gender Assessment Consultant. It's not a joke. Your
tax dollers are going to that. One hundred and twenty
one thousand for a Women in Forced Carbon Initiative membership program,

(20:16):
whatever the hell that means. Two hundred and fifty four
thousand for diversity dialogue workshops, ninety one thousand for training, education,
and access to professional and economic opportunities for women and
increasing their participation in climate change adoption activities in African,

(20:38):
Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Caribbean regions.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's where your money's going. And this is in every
damn department in our government.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
The USDA also said it had canceled nine hundred and
forty nine employee trainings because apparently these people like to
go on paid vacations where they call it training, seven
hundred and fifty eight of which solely focused on diversity
e an inclusion. Other canceled trainings were on topics of
environmental justice.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
And gender ideology. You were paying for all of that.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I want to tell you about our friends over Patriot Mobile.
While we may have won the election. The fight to
restore our great nation is only beginning, and now is
the time for you to take a stand with your dollars.
And Patriot Mobile is leading the charge with conservative companies
that are fighting back. They are America's only Christian conservative
wireless provider.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I use them.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I know hundreds of others that use them personally, family friends,
business owners that I know have switched to Patriot Mobile
because they offer a way to vote with your wallet
without compromising on quality or convenience. You may not know,
but Big Mobile gives big donations to democratic causes, candidates
and organizations, radical organizations, including those that advocate, support and

(21:53):
pay for abortions.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
That is why I.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Made the switch to Patriot Mobile. Because Patriot Mobile isn't
just about providing exceptional cell phone service. It's a call
to action to defend our rights and freedoms. With Patriot Mobile,
every time you pay your bill, you are giving back
to causes that sent up for our First and our
Second Amendment rights, the sanctity of life, as well as
standing with our veterans, our wounded warriors, and our first responders. Now,

(22:19):
switching is easy. Keep your same number, keep your same phone.
You have or upgrade to a new one. They have
a one hundred percent US based customer service team that
will help you find the perfect plan. So right now,
go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
a free month of service with the promo code ferguson.

(22:41):
So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
or nine to seven to two Patriot. Some of the
most insane items, and this is where this really started
to pick up steam was coming from USAID spending that
was recently found. It included two million for Moroccan pottery classes. Uh,

(23:05):
you've been paying for that, And definitely congratulations because this
is how much they've been screwing US. Two million for
promoting tourism to Lebanon, twenty million for sesame street shows
in Iraq. If you want to know what money laundering
sounds like, like all of these just file them under
like money laundering one oh one, like this is the

(23:26):
perfect way to launder money.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's just spot on.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Sending Ukrainians to Paris for fashion week, that's apparently something
very important now is money going that way I got
you that's supposed to apparently happen like you're just supposed to,
you know, send people from all over the world to
go to fashion Week, and your tax dollars are paying
for that.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Now, I'll say it over and over again. We don't
have any of this money.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
We're borrowing this money, so we're now paying taxes on
this money.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Right So, all of.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
This money that we're talking about, every single bit of
what I'm mentioning to you right now, we are not
writing a check.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
We're borrowing the damn money.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
One point five million for Dei in Serbia because apparently
in Serbia they're real into Dei. You can insert yes
sarcasm there. Seventy thousand for Dei musical in Ireland. I
don't know about you, but I don't give a crap
about Ireland's musicals. I don't care if they're Dei or
Undi related. I just don't care, like I don't care.

(24:29):
Forty seven thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
If they ever did the Colombian transgendered opera, my guess
would be probably not. That would be my guest call
me old school, but my guess is that's probably a no.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
My guess is they probably didn't, and it's another way
to launder money. Now, if they did, it's just another
example of waste of money. And somebody got paid big
on this thirty two thousand for a transgendered comic book
in Peru because our money is supposed to be going
to that, and that apparently that's not a waste of money.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
That's like a solid thing.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
We should just spend cash on that and we should
celebrate a transgender you know, comic book.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Two million.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
We actually paid for sex change operations in Guatemala. Now
I don't know like what Timmy became Susie or what
Susie became Bob out of that, but you paid for it. Again,
we don't have any of this money. We're borrowing all
of this money. Uh, And this is what we do.
We just throw money all over the damn place and

(25:38):
we just say, yeah, let's just keep doing it over
and over and over and over again. One million to
help disabled people in Tazakhstan become climate leaders. Now, you know,
if you're gonna build climate leaders, like, why can't you
just pick people that want to like actually care about
the climate, why they have to be disabled specifically.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Maybe you get more money that way. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Maybe it's just another way to have people funnel money
and it's hard to say no to it, right, I
don't know, Like it's I have no idea on this one.
Six million we paid to tell people to go to
Egypt on tourism, because that is something we should be
paying for now, not Egypt. Hell no, no, no, America.
We're literally telling people don't come visit America. We're spending

(26:27):
six million dollars to tell people come to Egypt instead
of coming to America. If that isn't the definition of
screwed up, I don't know what is. We're telling people
not to come visit America and spend their money in America,
and we're telling them to go to Egypt, and we're
paying them to actually say go to Egypt. Like again,

(26:50):
what world are we living in where this is where
our money is going? Fifteen million for contraceptives and condoms
in the Taliban control Afghanistan. Now, I haven't done any
research on this, but I'm going to go out in
a limb here as well and say there's a pretty
good chance that the guys in a Taliban aren't exactly
that worried about the contra about the condoms or the contraceptives,

(27:13):
Like call me old school, I doubt that's their top priority.
And then we found out what they were using the
contents for was actually to help blow things up. Just
want to throw that out there, make sure everybody knows
that that that's what they were actually doing with the money.
These are the dollars that we are borrowing, and then

(27:33):
we are sending that money overseas to people that many
of them that hate Americans. I do think that's part
of what should be brought up here. A lot of
this is people that hate us, and we're giving them
this cash and it's flowing now. There's also many other
places where this money is going, and the other places

(27:55):
where the money is going, and more and more of
this is coming out. We've seen it with the layoffs.
We're seeing it with the people that don't even come
into work. You look at all of you know, the
mentality I have right now is just dogit, get rid
of it, downsize it, make it smaller. And what Democrats

(28:15):
are doing is they're defending every crazy waste of money
when they get caught. Senator Erse, a Republican who runs
the Doge Caucus and the Senate, said, she said two
trillion is going to get cut easily. That's far more
than anyone could have imagined. She thinks there's already at
a quarter of a trillion. Now they've been at this

(28:37):
for three weeks and this is going to be a year.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
And a half long project. She now says they've.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Got the Democrats completely cornered in a position where they've
they're defending every single insane expenditure that we've ever had,
and they're doing stuff like this all like all these
people are finding out all this stuff. We found out
so many people were working from home, and that they're
at home doing their work from bathtubs and actually posting
the pictures on Instagram. That's part of what we're now

(29:05):
finding out is that these government employees are undermining Trump's
agenda and they're posting pictures of themselves doing their job
in their bathtubs, and they're out there and they're obsessed
with this, Like they're out there and they're absolutely obsessed
with wasting your tax dollars and what Elon Musk is doing,

(29:26):
and what DOGE is doing is they're exposing what many
are describing as.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
A money scam. Take a listen to this from Fox.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Lannelst and Polster Alex. Now, we just found out late
today that DOGE recovered one point nine billion in HUD
money that was somehow this is their word misplaced under Biden.
If they're capable of losing almost two billion dollars and

(29:54):
this is just you know, the first three weeks or so,
what comes next?

Speaker 7 (29:59):
Oh, this is never gonna stop, Laura, And it's so glorious.
I got to talk to sanator Ernest who runs the
Doge Caucus and the Senate, on my podcast this week,
and she said, two trillion is gonna get cut easy.
She thinks they're already at a quarter of a trillion. Now,
they've been at this for three weeks and this is
going to be a year and a half long project. Look,
they've got the Democrats completely cornered. To your point here,
it's total checkmate. They're now in a position where they're

(30:21):
defending every single insane expenditure that we've ever had, and
they're doing stuff like all these people who we found
out were working at home from their bathtubs and posting
on Instagram about it for the federal government undermining Trump's agenda,
and they're defending that we need to keep supporting those people.
One of the best sound bites I ever saw my
life was when Musk was in the Oval office with

(30:41):
Trump and one of the reporters tried to dunk on
Musk and say, you lied and said that we were
paying for condoms in Gaza. It was really condoms and
Mosambique Musca when of the best answer I ever heard.
First he said, well, first of all, I'm going to
get stuff wrong and you can correct it. Totally mature
adult response. Then he said, come to think of that,
and you see the maschinations of the brain.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
He's working through it.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
H condoms and mosiumbeak.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Why are we paying for those?

Speaker 7 (31:05):
And now the Democrats are all one hundred percent unilaterally
on the side of the condoms of Mosambique people.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Thank you, Thank god we have this map. By the way,
I love the way that it was described there. He's
absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
They're having to defend every crazy thing now because they
hate Doge and the Republicans that much.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
They hate it that much. That means, by the way,
we're winning.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Make sure you share this podcast with your family or
friends wherever you are. I'll see you back here tomorrow
