President Donald Trump Meets with Elon Musk in White House!!! · Elon Musk Thinking

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: X, are you okay? This is X and he's a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: great guy, high IQ. He's a high IQ individual.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: And I got this school chain.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: He's gone, so thank you very much. We had a
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: busy day today. The King just left and we've had a.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Great discussion, terrific discussion concerning Gaza and everything else. We
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: had discussions also about Saturday at twelve o'clock.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a big moment. We'll see what happens.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I don't expect much happening with these people, but we'll
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: see what happens.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And we're going to be signing a very important deal today.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: It's a DOGE and I'm going to ask Elon to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: tell you a little bit about it and some of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the things that we found, which is shocking billions and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse. And I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: think it's very important and that's one of the reasons
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I got elected. I say we're going to do that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Nobody had any idea was that bad. That's sick, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that corrupt. And it seems hard to believe that judges
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: want to try and stop us from looking for corruption,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: especially when we found hundreds of millions of dollars worth
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: much more than that in just a short period of time.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: We want to weed out the corruption.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And it seems hard to believe that a judge could say,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we don't want you to do that. Well, so maybe
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we have to look at the judges because that's very serious.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's a very serious violation. I'll ask Elon
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Musk to say a few words and we'll take some questions.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Elon go ahead, Sure, So the.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: At a high level, if you say, what is the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: goal of those or and I think a significant part
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: of the presidency is to restore.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Democracy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: This may say seem like we'll offering in a democracy. Well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: if you don't have a feedback with fax, we'd have
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to if you're.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Sorry, until your gravitas can be difficult sometimes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: So if there's not a good feedback loop from the
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: people to the government, and if you have rule of
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge, and then
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: what meaning does democracy actually have If the people cannot
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: vote and have there will be decided by their elected
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: representatives in the form of the president and the Senate
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: in the house, then we don't live in a democracy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: We live in a bureaucracy. So it's incredibly important that
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: we close that feedback we fix that feedback loop, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that the public, the public's elected representatives, the President of
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the House and the Senate, decide what happens as opposed
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to a large unelected bureaucracy. This is not to say
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: that there aren't some good There are good people who
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: are in the federal bureaucracy. But you can't have an
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: autonomous federal bureaucracy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You have to have one that is.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Responsive to the people. That's the whole point of a democracy.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: And so.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And if if you looked at this, if you asked
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to look at the founders today and said, what do
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: you think of the way things have turned out? Or
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: we have this unelected, fourth unconstitutional branch of government, which
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: which is the bureaucracy, which has in a lot of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: ways currently more power than any elected representative, and this
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: is there's not something that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: People want.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: And it's not it does not match the will of people.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: So it's just something we've got to we've got to fix.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And they've also got to address the deficit. So we've
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: got a two twenty dollars deficit. And if this, if
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: we don't do something about this deficit. Country is going bankrupt.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's really astounding that the the interest
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: payments alone on the national debt exceed the defense department budget,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: which is shocking because we've got a lot of we
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: spend a lot of money on defense, but and if
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: that just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: So what I really want to say is like, it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It's essential.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and it's essential for America to have the resources necessary
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to provide things to its citizens and not simply be
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: servicing vast amounts of debt.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And also, could you mention some of the things that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: your team has found, some of the crazy numbers, including
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the woman that walked away with about thirty million.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, we often we do find it sort of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: people in.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: The biocracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: millions of dollars in net worth while they are in
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: that position, which is, you know, what happened to usaid,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: we're just curious as to where it came from. Good
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: at investing, that which case we should take their investment
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: advice perhaps, But just there seems to be mysteriously they
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: get wealthy, We're done, Why where does it come from?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And I think the reality is that they're getting wealthy
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: detached their expense. That's that's the that's the honest truth
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: of it. So you know we're looking at say, well
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: we just if you look say treasury, for example, basic
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: controls that should be in place that are in place
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: in any company, such as making sure that any given
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: payment has a payment categorization code, that there is a
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: comment field that describes the payment, and that if a
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: payment is on that do not pay list, that you
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: don't actually pay it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: None of those things are true currently.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: So the reason that departments can't pass ordits is because
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the payments don't have a categorization code. It's like just
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: a massive number of blank checks just flying out the building.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: So you can't reconcile playing checks. You've got comment fields
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: that are also blanks, you don't know why the payment
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: was made. And then we've got this a truly episode
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: a do not pay List, which can take up to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: a year before an organization you get on it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Do you not pay list?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: And this we're talking about terrorist organizations, we're talking about uh,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: known fraudsters, known aspects of waste, known things that do
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: not match any congressional appropriation. Can take up to a
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: year to get on the list. And even once it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: on the list, the list is not used. It's mind blowing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: So so what we're talking about here, we're really just
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: talking about adding common sense controls that should be present,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: uh that that haven't been present. So you say, like, well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: how could such a thing arise? Does that's that seems
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: that seems crazy that when you understand that that really
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: everything is scared towards complaint to minimization.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So that's that. Then you understand the motivations. So if people.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Receive money, they don't complain, obviously, but if people don't
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to receive money, they do complain, and the fraust complain
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the loudest and of the fastest. So then when you
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: understand that, then it makes sense. Oh that's why everything
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: just they prove all the payments at treasury, because if
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: you approve all the payments, you don't you don't get complaints.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: But now now we're saying that no, actually we are
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: going to complain if if money is spent badly, if
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: if your taxpayer dollars are not spent in a sensible
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: and proval manner, then that's not okay. Your tax dollars
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: need to be spent wisely on the things that matter
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to the people. I mean these things like it's just
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: common sense. It's not it's it's it's not draconian or radical.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's it's really just saying, let's look at
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: each each of these expenditors and say, is this actually
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: in the best interest with the people. And if it is,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: it's proved. But if it's not, we should think about it. So,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you know, there's crazy things like just curse examination of
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Social Security. And we've got people in there at one
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty years old. Now do you know anyone
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: there's one hundred and fifty I don't. Okay, they should
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: be on the Guinness Boo, the world records. They're messing out,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: So you know that's the case, where like I think
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: they're probably dead, that's my.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Guess, or or they should be very famous. One of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the two.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: And then that a whole bunch of soci security payments
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: where is no identifying identifying information.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Well, why is there no identifying information?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Obviously we want to make we want to make sure
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: that people who deserve to receive social security do receive it,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and that they receive it quickly and accurately. Also another
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: crazy thing, so you know, one of the things is
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: like which we are trying to sort of right size
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the federal bureaucracy, just make sure that this obviously needs
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: they need to be a lot of people working for
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the federal government, not as many as currently. So we're saying, well, okay, well,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: let's if people can retire you know, with full benefit
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: benefits and everything, that that would be good. They can retire,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: get the retirement payments, everything, And then we're told this
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: is actually I think a great anecdote because we're told
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: the most number of people that could retire possibly in
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: a month is ten thousand. We're like, well, why why
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: is that? Well, because all the retirement paperwork is manual
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: on paper. It's manually calculated and written down on a
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: piece of paper. Then it goes down to mine and like,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: what do you mean a mine?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, there's a.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Limestone mine where we stole all the retirement paperwork that
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and you look a picture of a picture of this mine.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: We'll post them pictures afterwards.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: And this is this mine looks like something out of
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the fifties because it was started in nineteen fifty five,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: so it looks like it's like a time warp. And
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: then the speed, then the limiting factor is the speed
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: at which the mine, the shaft elevator can move, determines
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: how many people can retire from the federal from the
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: federal government, and.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: The elevator breaks down. And then I said sometimes, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: then you can't. Nobody can retire. Doesn't that sound There's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like a thousand people that work on this.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: So I think if we take those people and say, like,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: you know what, instead of working in a mind shaft
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and carrying Manila envelopes to you know, boxes, in a mindshaft,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: you could do practically anything else and you would add
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: to the goods and services of the United States in
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: a more useful way. So anyway, so I think, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: that's an example, like at a high level, if you
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: could say, like how do we increase prosperity, is we
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: get people to do to shift from roles that are
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: load to negative productivity to high productivity roles and so
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: increase the total output of goods and services, which means
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: that there's a higher standard of.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Living available for everyone. That's that's the actual goal. No,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: one's very quiet.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: So your detractors, mister, including a lot of Democrats, I
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: have detractors I don't believe it, say that you're orchestrating
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: a hostile takeover of government and doing it in a
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: non transparent way.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: What's your response to that criticism. Well, first of all,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you couldn't ask for a stronger mandate from the public. Uh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: The public voted.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Uh, you have a majority of the public vote voting
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: for President Trump. We've won the House, who won the Senate.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: The people voted for major government reform. There should be
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: no doubt about that. That was on the campaign. The
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: President spoke about that at every rally. The people voted
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: for major government reform. And that's what people are gonna get.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: They're gonna get what they voted for. And a lot
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: of times that you know people that don't get what
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: they voted for, but in this presidency, they are going
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: to get what they voted for.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And that's what democracy is all.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: About, mister Busk.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: The White House says that you will identify and excuse
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: yourself from any conflicts of interest that you may have.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Does that mean that you are in effect policing yourself.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: What are the checks and balances that are in place
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: to ensure that there's accountability and transparency?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Really well, we.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Actually are trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: our actions, we post our actions to the DOGE handle
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: on x and to the DOGE website, so all of
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: our actions we are maximally transparent. In fact, I don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: think there's been I don't know of a case that
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: we're an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, and the kind of things we're
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: doing are I think very very simple and basic that
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: they're not. We're you know what I mentioned brings for
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: example about Treasury just making sure that that payments that
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: go out text paramorney that goes out is categorized correctly,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: that that that the payment is explained, that organizations that
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: do not play list, which are takes a lot to
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: get there, that actually are not paid, which currently they
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: are paid. These these are these are not individual judgment decisions.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: These about simply having sensible checks and balances in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: system itself to ensure that tax payer money is spent. Well,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: so it's got likes to do with like say a
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: contract for some company of mine at all.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: But if there is a conflict of interest when it
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: comes to you yourself, for instance, you've received billions of
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: dollars in federal contracts when it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: Comes to the Pentagon, for instance, which the President I
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: know has directed you to look into. Are you policing
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: yourself in that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Is there any sort of accountability check and balance in
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: place that would provide any transparency for the American people?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Well, all of our actions are are fully public.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: So if you see anything you say like, wait a second, hey,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: you know that, doesn't that seems like maybe that's you
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: know that there's a conflict there. It felt like people
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: are going to be shy about saying that. They'll say
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: it immediately, you know you yourself, Yes, but it transparency
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: is what will its trust? Not simply somebody asserts any trust,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: so somebody is saying they're trustworthy. But transparency so you
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: can see everything that's going on, and then you can
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: see am I doing something that benefits one of my companies.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Not it's totally.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Obvious, and we thought that we would not let him
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: do that segment or look in that area if we
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: thought there was a lack of transparency or a conflict
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: of interest, and we watched that. Also, he's a big businessman,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he's a successful guy. That's why we want him doing this.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We don't want an unsuccessful guy doing this now. One
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: thing also that Elon hasn't really mentioned are the groups
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of people that are getting some of these payments. They're ridiculous,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and we're talking about billions of dollars that we've already found.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: We found fraud and abuse. I would say those two
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: words as opposed to the third word that I usually is,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: but in this case fraud and abuse, it's abusive because
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: most of these things virtually made up or certainly money
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be said, Tom and you know what I'm talking about.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But we're talking about tens of billions of dollars that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: we've already found, and now a judge who's an activist
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: judge wants to try and stop us from doing this,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and why would they want to do that. I can't
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: paignt on this. I can't paign to the fact that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I said government is corrupt, and it is very corrupt.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: It's very very it's also foolish.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: As an example, a man has a contract for three
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: months and the contract ends, but they keep paying them
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: for the next twenty years, you know, because nobody ends
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a contract.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: You get a lot of that. You have a contract
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: that's a three month contract.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Now normally, if you're in a small in all fairness,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it's the size, if this thing is so big. But
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: if you have a contract and you're in a regular business,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you end the contract in three months. You know, it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a consultant. Here's a contract for three months, but it
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: goes on for twenty years. I think guy doesn't say
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that he got money for twenty years. You know, they
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: don't say it. They just keep getting checks a month
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: after month. And you have various things like that, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: even much worse than that, actually much worse. And I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: guess you call that incompetence. Maybe it could be corruption,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It could be deals made on both sides. You know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: where I gets some money, he kicks I think he
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: has a lot of kickback here. I see a lot
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of kickback here, A lot of kickbacks tremendous kickback because
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: nobody could be so stupid to give out some of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: these contracts, so he has to get a kickback. So
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that's what I got elected for. That and borders and military,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, but this is a big part
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of it. And I hope that the court system is
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: going to allow us to do what we have to do.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: We got elected to, among other things, for all of
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: this fraud abuse, all of this this horrible stuff going on.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And we've already found billions of dollars, not like a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: little bit, billions, many billions of dollars, and when you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: get down to it, it's going to be probably close
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to a trillion dollars. It could be close to a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars that we're going to find that will have
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: quite an impact on the budget. And you'll go to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a judge with a handpicker judge, and he has certain leanings.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not knocking anybody for that, but he has certain
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: leanings and he wants us to stop looking.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: How do you stop looking? I mean, we've already found it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: We have a case in New York where a hotel
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: has paid fifty nine million dollars fifty nine million because
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of because of housing migrants illegal migrants, all illegal, I believe.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: And they're being paid twice the normal room rate at
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent occupancy.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, ask a question if I may sort of just
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: going for the president's comments at a high level.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, how exactly how do you what are the
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: two ingredients that are really necessary in order to cut
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the budget depths in half from two trillion to one trillion.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: And it's really two things, competence and caring. And if
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you add competence and caring, you'll cut the budget debts
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: in half. And and I fully expect to be scrutinized
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: and get you a daily proputology exam basically my sol's
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: camp out there. So it's not like I think I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: can get away with something. I'll be scrutinized, not stop.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: But with support of the President, we can. We can
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: cut the budget deficit in half from two trillion to
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: one And then with deregulation, because there's a lot of
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: sort of regulations that don't ultimately serve the public good,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: we need to free the builds of America to build.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: And if we do that, that means I think we
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: can get the economic growth to be maybe three four percent,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: maybe five percent. And that means if you can get
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: a trillion dollars economic growth and you cut the budget
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: deficit by a trillion between now and next year, there
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: is no inflation. There's no inflation in twenty six and
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: if the government is not borrowing as much, it means
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: that interest costs a client. So everyone's the mortgage, the
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: car payment, their credit card bills anything, there's their their
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: student dead the multi payments drop. That's a fantastic scenario
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: for the average American. I mean, imagine, think they're going
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: down the grocery ail and the prices for one year
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: to the next are the same and there and they're
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: they're there mortgage, all the dead payments dropped. How great
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: is that for the average American?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: We had, We had no idea what we're going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: find this much. And it's open. It's it's not like complicated,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: it's it's not public.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of you can't believe it, a lot
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of work, a lot of smart people involved, very very
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: smart people. But uh, it's you're talking about anyway, maybe
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: It's crazy the kind of numbers.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's really crazy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You know, Normally, when you're looking at something, you'll find
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you're looking for one out of one hundred.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Here you're almost reversing it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You look for one that's good, and you can look
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: at the tide and you say, why are we doing this?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Why are we doing that?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And the public it's it. You know, the public hits it.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You've seen the pulse. The public is saying, why are
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: we paying all this money? This is for years, this
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: has gone on. Yeah, go ahead, wait, go ahead.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Senator Rampaul today said that doge cuts will ultimately need
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: a vote in Congress.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: Do you agree with that? Is that the land?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I really don't know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: I know this.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: We're finding tremendous fraud and tremendous abuse. If I need
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a vote of Congress to find fraud and abuse, it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: fine with me. I think we'll get the vote, although
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: there'll be some people that wouldn't vote. And how could
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a judge want to hold us back from finding all
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of this fraud and finding all of this incompetence?
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Why would that happen? Why would even Congress want to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: do that?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Now, Congress, if we do need a vote, I think
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we get a very easy vote, because we have a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: track record.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Now we've already found.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Billions of dollars of abuse, in competence and corruption, a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: lot of corruption.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: If a judge does block one of your policies part
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: of your agenda, will you abide by that rule?
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: Will you call?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I always abide by the courts, and then I'll
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: have to appeal it. But then what he's done is
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he slowed down the momentum, and it gives crooked people
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: more time to cover up the books. You know, if
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: a person's crooked and they get caught, other people see that,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it becomes harder later on.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the answer is I.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Always abide by the courts, always abide by him, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: will appeal. But appeals take a long time.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And I would hope that a judge, if you go
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: into a judge and you show him, here's a corrupt situation.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: We have a check to be sent, but we found
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: it to be corrupt. Do you want us to send
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this corrupt check to a person or do you want
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: us not to give it and give it back to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the taxpayer. I would hope a judge would say, don't
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: send it, give it back to the taxpayer.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if I can add to that, what we're finding
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: is that a bunch of the fort is not even
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: going to Americans. So I think we all agree that
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: if there's going to be a should at least go
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: to Americans. But a bunch of the broad ranks that
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: are operating in the United States and taking advantage of
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: federal government, especially in the entitlements programs, are actually foreign
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: prod rinks. They are operating in other countries and actually
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: exporting money.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: To other countries. We should stop that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: And this is big numbers FORBOD one hundred two hundred
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: million dollars a year. Serious funny, missus muss.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: You said on x that an example of the fruit
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: that you have cited was fifty million dollars of condoms
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: was sent to Gaza. But after the fact check, this
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: apparently Gaza in Mozambique and the program was to protect
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: them against HIV.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: So can you correct these statements? It wasn't sent to Hamas.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: Actually it was in to musambik which makes sense why
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: condoms was sent there? And how can we make sure
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: that all the statements that you said were correct? So
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: we can't trust what you say?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, some of the things that I
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: say will be incorrect and should be corrected, So nobody
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: can about one thousand, I mean any you know, we
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: will make mistakes, but we'll quickly to correct any mistakes. So,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: you know, if the I'm not sure we should be
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: sending fifty million bells with the condoms to anywhere. Frankly,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that's something Americans would be really excited about.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: And that is really an enormous number of condoms when
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: you think about it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: But you know, if it went to most of the
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: week set of cause, I'm like, Okay, that's not as bad,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: but still, you know, why are we doing that?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Can you talk a little bit about how closely you're
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: working with agency heads as you're directing these cuts. Do
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: they have the how much input do agency heads have
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: when you're making these decisions?
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we work closely with the agency heads and yeah,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: so there's there are sort of checks in place, so
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: it's not just as just going in and doing things well,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it's in fundiship with the agency heads
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: and I checked presially with the presidents to make sure
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: that you know, this is this is what the president
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: wants to happen. So we talk almost every day, and I,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: you know, I double check things to make sure is
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: this something, miss President, you wanted us to do this?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: We'll we'll then we'll do it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: U S A U S A I D'D has been
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: one of your main targets.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Are you concerned at all that some of the cuts
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: or that's shutting that agency altogether may lead to diseases
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: or other bigger problems starting in other countries that then
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: come to the United States.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's an interesting example.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: So that's something where we work closely with the State
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Department and Sectary reveal, and we have for example, turned
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: on funding for abola prevention and for HIV product prevention.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, correct and and and we all we are moving fast,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: so we will make mistakes, but we'll also fix the
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: mistakes very quickly.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: So it has a worthy cause US A I D.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I think that there's some worthy things. But but overall,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: if you say, what does the Bank of the bunk,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I would say it was not very good. And there
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: was far too much of what you have said My
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: idea was doing was influencing, influencing elections in ways that
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I think were dubious and do not stand the light
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: of day.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: I'm you just have to fall up to the Pentagon contracts.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: If you have received billions of dollars in contracts from
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: the Pentagon and the President is directing you to look
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: into the Department of Defense, is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: You're definitely going to do and are going to do
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: at the President's request.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: Does that present a complic of interest for you?
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: No, because you'd have to look at the individual contract
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: and say, first of all, I'm not the one you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: filing the contract. It's people at SpaceX or someone will
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: be putting for the contract. And I'd like to say,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: if you see any contract where the where it was
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: worded to SpaceX and it wasn't by far the best
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: value for money for the taxpayer, let me know, because
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: every one of them was.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: The President said the other day that you might look
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: at treasuries.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Could you explain that a little bit? What kind of
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: fraud or that question goes to both of you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: What kind of fraud are you expecting to see or
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: do you see right now in US treasuries?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I think you mean the Treasury Department as opposed to
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: treasury bills, or you also.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Reference Treasury is on Air Force one the other night.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Well, the as I mentioned earlier, really the first sort
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: of business is to make sure we're actually collecting.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry for this other way.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Son might might enjoy this, but it's he's sticking his
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: fringers in my ears and stuff. It's been hot to
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: hear sometimes.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: So the stuff we're doing with with the Treasure Department
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: is so basic that you can't believe it doesn't exist already.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So so.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: For example, like I mentioned, just making sure that that
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: when a payment goes out, it has to have a
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: payment categorization coats, like what type of payment is this?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: You can't just leave the field blank.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Currently many payments that the field is left blank and
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: you have to describe what's the payment for some basic
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: rationalization that also is left blank. So this is why
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: you know the Pentagon when the last time the Pentagon
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: passed an ordered, I mean a decade ago, maybe it ever,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: really and we want to just in order to actually
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: pass orders, you have to have financial information that allows
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: you to trace the payments, so you know, and once
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: in a while the Treasury has to test to pause
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: payments if it thinks the payment is going to a
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: fraudulent organization. Like if if if a company or organization
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: is on it do not pay list, we should not
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: pay it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we would agree.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Like if it's quite hard to get on that payment
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: that do not pay list, it means that this is
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: someone that is just it's like dead people, terrorists.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Known fraudsters, that kind of thing. We should not pay them,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: but currently we do, which is crazy. We should stop that.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And by the way, hundreds thousands of transactions like that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: You know, we have a big team, and for the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: sake of the country, I hope that the person that's
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in charge and the other people that report to me
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: that are in charge are allowed to do the right thing,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: namely make sure everything's honest, legitimate, and competent. But we're
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: looking at just when you look at usaid that was
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: that's one. We're gonna look at the military, We're gonna
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: look at education. They're much bigger areas. But the usaidea
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: is really corrupt. It's corrupt, it's incompetent, and it's really corrupt.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: And I can't imagine a judge saying, well, it may
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: be corrupt, but you don't have the right you get
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: elected to look over the country and too, as we say,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: make America great again. But you don't have the right
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to go and look and see whether or not things
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: are right that they're paying, or that things are honest
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: at they're paying. And nobody can even believe there's other people.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Law professors, they've been saying, how can you take that
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: person's right away? You're supposed to be running the country,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: but we're not allowed to look at who they're paying
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it to and what they're paying.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: We have massive amounts of fraud that we caught.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I think we probably caught way over a lot of
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars already in what two weeks, and it's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: going to go to numbers that you're not going to believe.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And much as I said, much is incompetence and much
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: as dishonesty.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: We have to catch it. And the only way going
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: to catch it is to look for it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And if a judge is going to say you're not
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: allowed to look for it, that's pretty sad for our country.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how it could even work.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: Can you personally guarantee that which one the buy out
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: program the offerative federal workers? Can you personally guarantee that
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: the workers who opt in to resign now will be
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: paid through.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: So they'll get their money. But they're getting a good deal.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: They're getting a big buy out. And what we're trying
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to do is reduce government. We have too many people.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: We have office space, it's occupied by four percent. Nobody's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: showing it to work because they were told not to.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And then Biden gave them a five year past some
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of them, forty eight thousand of them, gave them a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: five year place that for five years, you don't have
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to show up to work. And let me tell you,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: this is largely a bunch of this stuff is because
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of Biden.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: It's his fault.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: He allowed this country what he did on our border,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: what he did on our border is almost not as
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: bad as what he did. With all of these contracts
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that have come out, it's a very sad day when
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: we look at it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I can't even believe it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But many contracts just extend, and they just keep extending,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and there was nobody there had correct it, and that
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: cannot be I can't imagine that could be held up
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: by the court, any court that would say that the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: president or his representatives like Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of State whatever, doesn't have the right to go over
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there books and make sure everything's honest.

• 30:47
  Speaker 1: You can't have anything that way, you can't have a
• 30:49

• 31:18
  Speaker 1: we can end that war and millions of people can
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: stop being killed.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: They've lost millions of people.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: They lost in terms of soldiers, probably one point five
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: million soldiers in a short period of time. We got
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: to stop that war. And I'm interested primarily from the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: standpoint of death. We're losing all those soldiers, and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: not American soldiers, the Ukrainian and Russian soldiers. But you're
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: probably talking about a million and a half. I think
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I think we kind of bring that one to an end. Okay,
