"Senate Democrats have a responsibility to fight back [spending cuts] on behalf of all Americans," says Senator Schumer... why is it likely that most of the money being cut might be tied to special interests?  Why are Democrats fighting so hard against the responsible thing to do?!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you Scott Channon, Thanks to all of

(00:01):
you for being with us. Right down are toll free
telephone number if you want to be a part of
the program. We're going to start the show a little
differently today. And this is just like the last thirty hours,
Democrats melting down over Elon Musk and Doge, starting with
Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren and and this is the

(00:24):
amazing part of this. And I want you to think
about this and without being too repetitive, but I don't
think people are really explaining in specificity and detail, you know,
how much how much money in waste, fraud and abuse
that Doge and Elon Musk are finding, you know, Department

(00:46):
of Agriculture terminating eighteen contracts millions of dollars, you know,
and including contracts for Central American Gender Assessment Consultant Services,
Brazil Forest Gender Consultant Services, Women in the Forest car
An Initiative Mentorship program. I mean, you can't make any
of this stuff up. You know. There were twenty nine
DEI training grants totaling one hundred and one million dollars

(01:10):
at the Department of Education to train teachers to help
student understand, integrate the complex histories involved in oppression and
help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an
individual and collective basis. The Department of Education eighty nine
contracts worth eight hundred and eighty one million dollars. And

(01:33):
we're talking about a billion taxpayer dollars here, and that's
your money. And I'm just telling you that this that's
an insane amount of money. Insane anyway. And you know,
to observe mailing and clerical operations at a mail center,
the average American makes sixty seven thousand a year. And

(01:56):
why are these people melting down? Why are they melting
down over this? You know, with two hundred and fifty
million dollar contract, three hundred and fifty agencies, you know
for Asia Pacific, Sri Lanka, climate change mitigation, adaptation, resilience
coordination for services for forest service. Why don't we take

(02:16):
care of the forest out in California? A workshop for
intercultural communication, diversity dialogue circle communicating across differences. The Department
of Education, you know DEI training grants totaling another fifteen
million HHS sixty two contracts worth one hundred and eighty

(02:37):
two million dollars that included the museum, you know, for
Anthony Fauci, NASA five hundred grand on political subscriptions was canceled.
Why they spend money on If somebody wants a Politico subscription,
let them buy their own. Fox doesn't buy me any subscriptions.
I buy my own. I don't even have a free

(02:58):
subscription to Fox Nation. My own subscription to Fox station.
State Department leadership is verified. Millions to the AP. I mean,
why are we paying for that? I mean, this is
a waste of your money. This is money that's not
being spent on American schools. Forty five million DEI scholarships

(03:21):
in Burma been canceled. Seven hundred and eighty four million
dollars taxpayers for US Embassy in South Sudan initiated in
twenty twenty three, one hundred and forty five million in
savings because it contracts the Department of Labor, Transportation, Agriculture, Commerce,
Health and Human Services and the Treasury Department. I mean,

(03:44):
and then I go back to my beginning list, which is,
you know, fifteen pages long, twenty million Sesame street show
in Iraq, fifty six million of boost Egyptian Tunisia tourism.
I want you to think about that as you listen
to this. This is now where the Democrats, the radical
left has decided to draw their line in the sand.

(04:06):
And this is what this is what this party stands for,
with maybe the exception of John Fetterman and James Carvel
and the likes of David Axelrod and Rama Manuel. And
then look at what the party elected as the two
top leaders of the DNC moving forward to the left
of Kamala Harris. And if they think that this is

(04:28):
this is the agenda of the American people want tell
me if you think this is going to work, because
all of this money is being spent abroad, it's being
spent on the Green New Deal and environmental initiatives, it's
being spent on DEI programs, it's being spent on woke ism,

(04:48):
transgender ism, LGBTQ plus ism. And this is what I
guess they think the American people want. Elon Musk w
are you bring.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Your ass over here so.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
You can say who's here?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
This is like a bank robber trying to fire the
cops and turn off the alarms just before he strolls
into the lobby. We are here to fight back.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
That is what they are doing. They are dismantling the
federal government, which will deny the American people just services
and the resources that allow them to help to raise
their families, have a secure economy and a secure future
for themselves.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Every time you hear DOJE the Department of Government Efficiency,
you just remember it is the Department of government evil over.
This is thavery, this is gangsterism.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
We're going to shut down ELON must see legal operation.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
So we will see you.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
In Congress and accords and in the streets. So, Donald Trump,
what does that say about you?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You don't have power, but we have people power, and
we're coming after you. We're coming after you with our
people power.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
The way I see it, this is not a recipe
for government efficiency. This is a recipe for corruption by
the Doge boys and this government and this tunk administration.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
This is the fight that they want to pick. Now.
It gets even worse as we move forward. Under Biden,
the USAID sent one hundred and twenty two million dollars
to radical terrorist groups. This was on foxnews dot com.
The Middle East Forums multi year study said USAID and
the State Department spending has uncovered one hundred and sixty

(06:58):
four million of approved grants to radical organizations, with at
least one hundred and twenty two million going to groups
aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters. Billions of more
federal dollars have been given to leading American aid charities
which have consistently failed to vet their terror tied local
partners and showed little interest in improving their practices to

(07:22):
the apparent indifference of the federal government. And among the
MIDESE Forums top findings, USAID has given more than nine
hundred thousand to a Gaza based terror charity. I mean,
you would think people care. Now. They're the Democrats, as
I told you yesterday. They can scream all they want
about bank robbery, but the only people being robbed of

(07:42):
the American taxpayers in this. They can call it the
Department of Government evil. They can hate Elon Musk who's
doing this and as is every DOGE employee for free,
that they can call a thievery, but that they're the
thieves and gangsterism. They're the gangsters that are losing their
power and lashing out after all of this, And they

(08:03):
can threaten the president and Elon and they're coming after you.
I mean they literally was this pastor some guy from
Tennessee by Steve Caudle is his name, suggesting that violence
against Elon is somehow justified because they don't like what
Elan is doing. And all the elon En doze you're
doing is they're cutting out reckless spending, robbery, thievery, if

(08:26):
you will, of our kids and our grandkids and our
own futures, and money that can be spent in our schools,
law and order, money that could be spent to you know,
a shore up socis to security and medicare headed towards insolvency.
It could be used for the next generation of warfare
in a very ugly and dangerous world. But you know

(08:47):
why focus on those things. Listen to this preacher.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
And in this nation, I'm worried that we are on
the verge of bloodshed. This is a a an attempt
to take us back to a day that we do
not want to go, and we will not go. Therefore
there will be conflict. I pray that the peace of
God will win out and overcome the madness that is
a timpting to take over this nation. And I will

(09:13):
say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes
violence is necessary when Elon Musk forces his way into
the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal
information and your Social Security check, there is the possibility
of violence. Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that
you have no other choice but to get violent and fights. Well,

(09:36):
someone might say, now, reverend, you know you shouldn't be
talking about violence. This is the Christian thing to do. Well,
I will say, why not talk this way? Because Jesus did?
Jesus said in this key verse, didn't it? The Kingdom
of Heaven suffers what violence and the who the violent

(09:57):
take it by force?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
The Kingdom of.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
God is a war zone. It is a battlefield.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
You did know this, right, I guess forget about those
you know lines in the Bible about turn the other
cheek and forgive us as we forgive and forgive people
seventy times seven. You know, forget those verses. Frankly, this
pastor deserves a meeting and frankly a visit from the
Secret Service after making what I think is a threat

(10:29):
of violence and encouraging others to violence against Elon Musk.
I mean, and he's doing all of this for free,
as is everybody else. And he's saving all of you
hard earned money. You know, this will end up being
hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars when all of
a sudden done. They've already found tens of billions of

(10:50):
dollars in waste fraud abuse, and this is nothing but corruption.
But this is the hill that the Democratic Party wants
to die on. They've been advised by people like Axelrod
to let it go because Axelrod's smart enough to understand
the American people want no part of this. And I
see that, you know, there's an article out there today

(11:11):
that you know, apparently Elon Musk, although there I just
saw a poll, an early poll that will be released
that Elon Musk's post popularity is much higher than what
the media is saying. And I think is more and
more Americans become familiar with what he's actually doing, they're
going to support what he's doing. California leads the US

(11:31):
and electric vehicle sells, and you know, in twenty twenty four,
EV sales were of all non Tesla brands were one
point four percent of the state. Tesla sales declined apparently
a little bit, you know, so I guess, you know,
he may be paying a price financially. You know, he's
certainly not benefiting from this. And now we're just discovering

(11:55):
designated terrorists and extreme groups of breaking in millions from USAID.
And you know, the funding for these these terrortied groups
and those groups with internal hostility towards Israel goes back
for years. You know, they've found since you know, the
year what some terrortied funding initiatives are publicly known. Twenty

(12:18):
twenty two, USAIDE awarded one hundred grand to a Palestinian
activist group whose leader held the Popular Front Liberation of Palestine,
a designated terrorist organization. Why would one US penny ever
go to any of these radicalized groups. It's pretty unbelievable.
And this apparently has been happening all throughout you know,

(12:40):
the the Biden and Harris presidency and vice presidency. Those
you uncovered two point three million dollars of program training
soldiers to speak and act in a DEI friendly way.
Did most of you even know what the hell that means?
And then after the President's executative order, and now we

(13:00):
find out that DOEGE discovered that FEMA spent fifty nine
million dollars last week continuing to house the illegal immigrants
and luxury hotels in New York City, and he said
sending this money is a clear violation of law, a
gross insubordination of the President's executive order, musk rights on

(13:23):
X and Doge is now focusing on millions in migrant
hotel bills. And by the way, Christy nome As, these
four FEMA employees have been fired over their egregious payments
in light of the president's you know, new policy, and
the judges extended a restraining order to ban the Trump

(13:44):
administration buyout offer to federal workers. And that's a temporary
restraining offer. I do believe that our friend Alan Dershowitz
is right in predicting many of these court injunctions because
now what Democrats can't get done at the ballot box
or llegi slatively, they're going to try and use the
courts to do. But this is now groundbreaking. Is tens

(14:05):
of thousands of employees are being fired and let go
and given a payout to get out of the way.
I think that's transformational. We're reducing the size, the scope,
the impact, the waste, the fraud, the abuse, everything that
conservatives have been preaching about for decades is now happening
before very eyes. It's so interesting, isn't it? The way

(14:27):
PC spendocrats, you know, Schumer, Chris Murphy, you know, Maxie Waters,
Elizabeth Warren, you know this, This is the hill they
want to die on, you know, because DOGE is finding
billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse spent on
their left wing radicalism internationally, not even for the American people.

(14:52):
Among the many things, they canceled the seventeen million dollar
project to provide tax policy advice to Liberia. Why would
it be be spending that money when American schools need help,
and Americans need more police officers than firefighters, and America
you know needs. I mean, we need, We need infrastructure

(15:15):
building in this country. We need jobs created here. I mean,
could you imagine when we finally get the tens and
hundreds of billions of dollars added up and waste, broad
abuse and corruption. You know, I wonder how much every American?
How much have we split that money? Evenly? How much
money to be able to cut a check to every

(15:35):
American for well, let's say, how about every American that
makes under one hundred thousand dollars a year what if
they cut the check to them and maybe ease a
little of the pressure that so many Americans have been
suffering under because of Biden Harris inflation. Anyway, DOGE continues
to tally up major wins for you know, hard working

(15:57):
Americans and taxpayers and their audits of the feral government.
And you know, all this DEI gree new Deal, woke,
transgender LGBTQ money, I mean, it's insane. I Meanwhile, we
can't even rescue astronauts that are lost in space. It's

(16:17):
you know, Democrats now are talking about taking to the
streets the only and Chucky Schumer's out there announcing a
counter offensive against this spending. I mean they want to
They're fighting to keep this spending going. And you have
to ask why then, Democrats have a responsibility to fight

(16:37):
back on behalf of American families. American families don't benefit
from all this waste, fraud, and abuse and corruption. The
only people that benefit are these foreign countries, many of
which by the way, have terroritized and hate our guts.
And number two, the only other people that benefit of
the Senate Democrats and Congressional Democrats, because that's how they

(17:02):
get their power base. And why do I suspect really deeply,
my gut, you know that a lot of this money,
we're going to find out the people responsible for allocating
the monies and insisting and fighting for monies to be allocated.
Why do I suspect that there might be other interests

(17:22):
that they may have that are unbeknownst to us at
this moment. I'm just saying my gut. Anyway, Democrats are
just out of control. They have they're so out of
touch with the American people. And this is where they
have now settled. This is what they've settled in on.
They want to call Trump every name of the book

(17:44):
and attack. They want to fight for men to play
in women's sports. They want to stand up for people
that didn't respect our porters, our laws, and our sovereignty.
And they want to spend you know, tens and hundreds
of billions of dollars on their radicalism. And you know
now they're rallying against Elon Musk hands off our social security.

(18:07):
Nobody's taking away your social security. They just flat out
lie that left wing pastor. You know, we're on the
verge of bloodshed. Really, okay, no one likes violence, but
sometimes violence is necessary, really, and then he goes on
with propaganda that he's forcing his way into the US Treasury.

(18:28):
He's not forcing his way in. Donald Trump gave him
access to it. He's the duly elected president of our
country and stealing your personal information. They're not looking for
your personal information. They're looking for how your hard earned
money is spent. And nobody's looking to take your Social
Security to check. And he says, sometimes the devil will

(18:49):
get acts so ugly you have no other choice but
to get violent and fight. Okay, what does that mean.
Are you're threatening violence against Elon Musk because it sounds
like it. You know the crazy left. You know this
guy that was has been accused of killing you United
Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And not only is he getting
all the support online now, he got nearly three hundred

(19:11):
thousand dollars in donations for his criminal defense. And Democrats
are just in this complete meltdown about about DOGE. Chris
Murphy literally says, this is we're staring at the death
of democracy. We're not staring at the death of democracy.
We're staring at big government overreach, waste brought and abuse

(19:34):
going away. That's what we're staring at and to me,
that's a good thing. To me, that's a win for
the American people. To me, that's that's a victory for
the American people. But that's not how they see it.
And you know, as we get deeper and deeper into this,
you know, we we just see the level of corruption
we have not even tapped. You know, ten percent of

(19:58):
government waste brought abuse. This is only going to get
bigger and bigger and bigger. Now, I doubt that the
media is going to point out that how many of
you people have heard of the name Mark Fogel? Did
you know that Mark Fogel was an American hostage, an
American teacher taken by a hostage by Russia during the

(20:20):
first months of the Biden administration. Yeah, he's now been
released as a result of the efforts of President Trump
and his team of negotiators. Anyway, after ten days of
Trump negotiations, he secured the release of six Americans held
in hostage in Venezuela. Anyway, Steve Whitkoff and Donald Trump
were able to announce that he's leaving Russian airspace with

(20:43):
Mark Fogel, an American detained by Russia According to Mike Waltz,
national security advisor President Trump, Steve Whitcoff, the President's advisors
negotiated in exchange that serves as a show of good
faith from the Russians and a sign that we are
moving in the right direction to end the brutal and
terrible war in Ukraine. I mean, they're going to criticize

(21:04):
them for that. Next one in five Democrats now saying
Donald Trump is doing a good job. That's got to
crush them. Google has now officially changed the name of
the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I
guess that's the power of Trump. It really is in
every way, shape, matter, and form. President Trump removed more

(21:26):
than a dozen Joe Biden appointed board members at the
JFK Senator Center for Performing Arts, including former Biden Press
secretary propagandist Karen JOm Pl. You know a lot of
people trying to figure out what Donald Trump is doing here,

(21:47):
and I'm having a hard time understanding why they don't
understand it, because this is everything. Even as the CBS
poll recognized seventy percent of respondents recognized Trump is just
keeping his campaign promises. Now the FBI uncovered thousands of
undisclosed records connected to JFK's assassination. Now, o'reiley doesn't think

(22:09):
there's going to be much to it, And Okay, he
writes all these books, killing Kennedy, killing Lincoln, killing Reagan,
all that sort of, or you know whatever, killing Jesus,
not Reagan, and so he spends a lot of time researching.
He doesn't think they're going to find anything with RFK,
JFK or MLK. I'm not so sure. I'm hoping that

(22:31):
we might learn. There's got to be a reason, you know,
since the early sixties that they've been keeping this information
under wraps. In the late sixties, It's got to be
a reason, because it makes no sense that this information
has not been made public. Well, it turns out. Axios
reported that the FBI released twenty four hundred new records

(22:53):
tied to the assassination of JFK, which were not provided
to the board that reviewed and disclose the files, and
when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted
its plan to release the JFK files, that reportedly disclosed
the existence of the records anyway. Fox News has confirmed
with a person familiar with the records that the files

(23:15):
were uncovered during the review. They didn't even know they existed.
I don't have something something's fishy here. I will say this.
It is a sad thing that you can go online
and google JFK and see autopsy photo pictures. I don't
know who released that back in the day that that would,
to me would be an issue of family privacy. I

(23:36):
mean it's terrible. What you see is you literally see
the back of his head shot off in, brain matter
falling out, and a hole in his throat. It's just awful.
So I don't know what these undisclosed records are, but
we'll find out in the days to come. As they said,
you know, there is you know speculat well, why did
Donald Trump leave the Super Bowl before the fourth quarter? Well,

(24:02):
it was on his schedule to leave at eight oh five.
And it wasn't because the Chiefs were losing. It wasn't
because he was afraid he'd run into Taylor Swift. It
wasn't because you know the game was a blowout. It
had nothing to do with any of those things, except
it had to do it was part of a very

(24:23):
elaborate logistical operation that allowed Trump to become the first
sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, and when a
president goes to crowded public places, it requires more security
from the US Secret Service local police, leading, you know,
to potential chaos. If the president left at the end
of the game, that would mean eighty thousand people would

(24:46):
not be able to exit the stadium while the president
is on the move. He needed to be wheels up
before that game was over, so he did it for
the convenience of everybody else. God forbid Donald Trump to
do something nice. You can't deny that the reception he
got at the super Bowl was pretty spectacular. I mean,

(25:06):
it really was. We have updates. It looks like JFK
I'm sorry, RFK Junior and Tulsi Gabbard are on the path,
and Cash Battell are all on the path towards being confirmed.
I think all three will do phenomenal jobs the way
it's going to end. By the end of the week,
the Senate will likely confirm both Tulsi and RFK Junior.

(25:31):
After the Senate likely crushes a filibuster on the nomination
of RFK to serve as Health and Human Services Secretary,
the Senate could confirm Kennedy by late Thursday. It'd be
unthinkable in November that President Trump might be able to
muscle through certain nominees. But the only one that seems
to face a challenge now is former Representative Lori Chavez.

(25:53):
The reamer, I think is, how you say it, a
Republican from Oregon who's up for Labor secretary, and there's
some pushback from Republicans that she's quote two pro labor.
And we'll find out. Department of Education may not even
be around long enough for Linda mcmahonb but we'll see
what happens there too, but I'm sure they'll find another

(26:14):
position for her. Murkowski and Cassidy announced that they're going
to vote to confirm Tulsa Gabbard, which means that's all
but a certainty that that's going to happen. And over
six hundred thousand members of law enforcement urged the Senate
to confirm Cash pttell as the FBI director in the
US AID package found among Hesbalah's weapons cash Usaid Oops days,

(26:42):
how did that happen? Excuse me? I told you about
the FEMUR firing four employees who spent millions putting Biden
illegals up in luxury hotels after the president's order, and
those firings include the chief financial Officer, two program analysts,
and a grant specialist. Un to President Trump and Secretary

(27:02):
Nomes leadership, the DHS is not going to sit idly
by and allow the deep state activists to undermine the
will and the safety of the American people. I mean
it is they discovered this money was spent after the
president's order, and all credit to both of them for
doing that. One teacher's union is heard coaching illegal immigrants

(27:23):
how to evade ice those people. I had Tom Homan
on TV last night. I'm telling you they're not going
to survive Democrats helping illegal immigrants avoid legal repatriation. They're
going to end up being subpoened and they're going to
end up being charged over time. Mark my words. New

(27:44):
Jersey data still shows most job growth going to illegal
immigrants eighty eight percent. I'm sorry new January numbers, not
New Jersey. Eighty eight percent of new jobs going to
illegal immigrants since twenty twenty, seventy two percent in the
last year alone. Well, those are jobs that are for Americans,
and that'll also create more competitiveness in the marketplace, which

(28:06):
means Americans will get paid more money, and they deserve
to get paid more money. I think we have the
best workforce on the face of the earth.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Donald Trump said something else in his interview. A lot
of people take ozempic monjaro. He called them, though, what
does he call them? The fat drug or the fat shot,
whatever it is. But I know people that have taken
these medicines and they've lost one hundred pounds. But the
difference is in London you pay eighty eight bucks if
you can get it and its availability is limited. In

(28:38):
New York you're gonna pay twelve hundred bucks. That's insane.
