Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, it is so much fun to
- 0:03Speaker 1: watch all of the winning that is happening when it
- 0:05Speaker 1: comes to getting rid of government. Wys Doe has now
- 0:09Speaker 1: come out saying the Department of Labor has canceled five
- 0:12Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven million in America last grants, including
- 0:18Speaker 1: funding for gender equity in the quote Mexican workplace.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Don't blame me for this.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm just giving you the numbers, so let me dial
- 0:27Speaker 1: you through this latest massive cut. The US Department of
- 0:32Speaker 1: Labor canceling the five hundred and seventy seven million of
- 0:34Speaker 1: America ASS contracts, including ten million that was going for
- 0:38Speaker 1: gender equity and the Mexican workplace quote unquote. The Department
- 0:42Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency is announced great work today by USDOL
- 0:46Speaker 1: and the Secretary. They're canceling the five hundred and seventy
- 0:50Speaker 1: seven million in America ASS grants for two hundred and
- 0:53Speaker 1: thirty seven million in savings. Listing some examples of the
- 0:57Speaker 1: wasteful grants that were canceled, one of the grants was
- 1:00Speaker 1: worth a ten million dollars that was litterally described as
- 1:03Speaker 1: gender equity in the Mexican workplace. There was another twelve
- 1:08Speaker 1: point two million that was for worker empowerment not in
- 1:14Speaker 1: America but South America. And six point twenty five million
- 1:20Speaker 1: was for quote improving respect for workers' rights and agricultural
- 1:24Speaker 1: supply chains, and not in this country, not America, but
- 1:28Speaker 1: in Honduras, in Guatemala and El Salvador. Now the cancel
- 1:33Speaker 1: grants were intended for other countries as well, including three
- 1:38Speaker 1: million for safe and inclusive work environments, three million to
- 1:44Speaker 1: enhance social security access and worker protections for internal migrant
- 1:50Speaker 1: workers in Bangladesh.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Why the hell would we be.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Paying for that, four point three million for assisting foreign
- 1:57Speaker 1: migrant workers in Malaysia, and five million for elevating women's
- 2:03Speaker 1: participation in the workplace in West Africa. All of this
- 2:08Speaker 1: coming from the Department of Government Efficiency telling the story. Yes,
- 2:13Speaker 1: you should be angry obviously by all of this that you're.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Hearing right now now.
- 2:18Speaker 1: This follows DOGE updating its savings leader board, which now
- 2:22Speaker 1: touts one hundred and thirty billion in estimated savings. Dog's
- 2:27Speaker 1: website explains that this is a combination of asset sales,
- 2:32Speaker 1: contract and least cancelations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment
- 2:38Speaker 1: deletion grant cancelations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and
- 2:49Speaker 1: workplace reductions, which breaks down to a savings of eight
- 2:54Speaker 1: hundred and seven dollars and forty five cents so far
- 2:57Speaker 1: per tax payer.
- 2:59Speaker 2: In this country.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Jog's currently displays nine thousand, two d eighty nine grant terminations,
- 3:05Speaker 1: which alone total thirty two billion in savings for the
- 3:09Speaker 1: American people. Do't just continued, by the way, to uncover
- 3:13Speaker 1: even more waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government. President
- 3:17Speaker 1: Trump highlighting many of these findings during his speech before
- 3:20Speaker 1: Congress earlier this month, where he talked about the twenty
- 3:22Speaker 1: two billion from AHHS to provide free housing and cars
- 3:27Speaker 1: for illegal aliens. I don't want my tax dollars going
- 3:31Speaker 1: for that, Call me old fashioned, by the way.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Or forty five million for.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships not in America but in Burma.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Forty million to improve the social and economic inclusion of migrants. Yeah,
- 3:50Speaker 1: sedentary migrants, I should say, Trump began.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Adding, quote, nobody knows what that.
- 3:55Speaker 1: What's a sedentary migrant even is? How about the eight
- 4:00Speaker 1: million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the Africa nations
- 4:06Speaker 1: which nobody's ever heard of, sixty million for Indigenous people
- 4:11Speaker 1: of Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America, Yes, sixty million dollars,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and eight million for making mice transgender, reminding Americans that
- 4:24Speaker 1: this is real and it continues to be a growing
- 4:27Speaker 1: list that deals with waste, fraud, and abuse. What's also
- 4:31Speaker 1: interesting is how Elon Musk has just been so focused
- 4:36Speaker 1: on all of this and has made it clear that
- 4:39Speaker 1: we are being transparent in what we are finding. The
- 4:43Speaker 1: amount of money that Elon Musk is finding and the
- 4:46Speaker 1: people around him are finding is even shocking.
- 4:49Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear to say to.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Elon Musk, but can we also just go back to
- 4:56Speaker 1: why it is that Democrats hate this so much.
- 4:59Speaker 2: It's because they want to control every aspect of our lives.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I also want to take you back to when Democrats
- 5:06Speaker 1: were in favor of cutting waste and promoting efficiency.
- 5:10Speaker 2: How do I know that?
- 5:11Speaker 1: I only have to go back to November the ninth
- 5:13Speaker 1: of twenty eleven, when Barack Obama on the official White
- 5:17Speaker 1: House website had the video underneath it where it said
- 5:21Speaker 1: cutting waste and promoting efficiency with the date and the
- 5:24Speaker 1: presidential seal. And what did President Barack Obama say back then?
- 5:29Speaker 1: He had a dough style executive order to cut waste
- 5:32Speaker 1: and promote efficiency, saying it was time to get our
- 5:36Speaker 1: government under control. My question is, why did you not
- 5:40Speaker 1: lose your minds then when Barack Obama was saying that
- 5:43Speaker 1: we needed to do it? And why is it now
- 5:46Speaker 1: that you're losing your minds as a guy by the
- 5:48Speaker 1: name of Elon Musk does it with Donald Trump.
- 5:51Speaker 2: I think we all know the answer to that. Right.
- 5:53Speaker 1: They would rather have Donald Trump fail than for America
- 5:58Speaker 1: in our economy to succeed, because it's not about what's
- 6:02Speaker 1: best for the American people or the American taxpayer. It's
- 6:04Speaker 1: about what's best for their power as socialists, as communists,
- 6:08Speaker 1: as Marxists. I want to play for you what Barack
- 6:12Speaker 1: Obama said back in twenty eleven, and no one said
- 6:15Speaker 1: that this was insane in the Democratic Party. No one
- 6:19Speaker 1: was out there losing their minds the way they are
- 6:20Speaker 1: now with Elon Mosk.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Instead, they were.
- 6:23Speaker 1: All in favor of it because it was coming from
- 6:25Speaker 1: a black Democrat by the name of Barack Obama.
- 6:28Speaker 3: One of the commitments that I made of American people
- 6:31Speaker 3: was that we would do a better job here in
- 6:34Speaker 3: Washington in rooting out wasteful spender. At a time when
- 6:39Speaker 3: families have had to cut back and had to make
- 6:43Speaker 3: some tough decisions about getting rid of the things that
- 6:45Speaker 3: they don't need in order to make the investments that
- 6:48Speaker 3: they do, we've thought that it was entirely appropriate for
- 6:52Speaker 3: our governments and our agencies to try to root out
- 6:55Speaker 3: waste large and small in a systematic weight. Obviously, this
- 7:03Speaker 3: is even more important given the deficits that we've inherited
- 7:06Speaker 3: and that have grown as a consequence of this recession.
- 7:09Speaker 3: This makes these efforts even more imperative. Now, this does
- 7:14Speaker 3: mean making us some tough choices. It means cutting some
- 7:19Speaker 3: programs that I think are worthy but we may not
- 7:21Speaker 3: be able to record right now. We don't need to
- 7:24Speaker 3: wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful
- 7:28Speaker 3: spending that's out there. Cutting waste, making government more efficient
- 7:32Speaker 3: is something that leaders in both parties have worked on,
- 7:35Speaker 3: from Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican, to Democrat Claire mccaskell.
- 7:43Speaker 3: We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as
- 7:45Speaker 3: we'd like, and that's why we launched on our own Initiative,
- 7:48Speaker 3: the Campaign to Cut Waste, not just to cut spending,
- 7:52Speaker 3: but to make government work better for the American people.
- 7:55Speaker 3: For example, we've identified thousands of government buildings that we
- 7:59Speaker 3: don't need. Some of them sat empty four years. So
- 8:03Speaker 3: we're getting rid of those properties and that's going to
- 8:06Speaker 3: save the American people millions of dollars. Roger Rhodes works
- 8:10Speaker 3: at the Department of Commerce. Raise your hand, running there's Rodger.
- 8:14Speaker 3: He found a way to save the Department almost two
- 8:17Speaker 3: million dollars a year on its cell phone bills. And
- 8:20Speaker 3: I'm sure that there're probably some consumers out there that
- 8:24Speaker 3: like to talk to them and find out what they
- 8:26Speaker 3: could save on their cell phone bills. Celeste Steele is here, Celeste,
- 8:30Speaker 3: Raise your hands. Celeste works at the Department of Homeland Security,
- 8:34Speaker 3: and she's helping to save taxpayers tens of millions of
- 8:37Speaker 3: dollars by changing the way that department buys goods and services.
- 8:42Speaker 1: This is no different than what Barack Obama or s
- 8:45Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing, or Elon Musk is doing. In fact,
- 8:49Speaker 1: he's got his team in essence of Doge behind him
- 8:51Speaker 1: at the time. And you know, if you had an
- 8:56Speaker 1: Elon must tweet this out. I think it was like
- 8:57Speaker 1: three or four hours ago. He said, take it to
- 8:59Speaker 1: heish shot. Every time Obama says government efficiency, right, like
- 9:04Speaker 1: you listened to him and he's like obsessed with it
- 9:06Speaker 1: back in two thousand and now you've abandoned it, right.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Democrats went to him and said, no, no, you can't
- 9:10Speaker 2: do this, dude.
- 9:10Speaker 1: This is our gravy trained man, like, you can't cut
- 9:13Speaker 1: all of our programs, like we got to have this
- 9:15Speaker 1: stuff because we've got to buy voters. And he and
- 9:18Speaker 1: clearly he you know, was stout right. He didn't man
- 9:21Speaker 1: up and actually do it. But if you listen to
- 9:23Speaker 1: Obama and you took a tequila shot every time Obama
- 9:26Speaker 1: said government efficiency, you'd be hammered in the hospital begging
- 9:28Speaker 1: for your life.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Also tasked Vice President Biden to work with the secretaries
- 9:36Speaker 3: of all our agencies to identify some systemic areas of
- 9:41Speaker 3: potential improvement travel transportation, IT services.
- 9:47Speaker 1: By the way, I love this Barack Obama, Like, if
- 9:49Speaker 1: Barack Obama would have done this, if Joe Biden would
- 9:53Speaker 1: have done what they said here and not been corrupt
- 9:55Speaker 1: as hell and weaponizing the government against the American people
- 9:58Speaker 1: and weaponizing the irs against the party.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Patriots like I could have gotten along with this guy.
- 10:04Speaker 2: But again I go back to the core point here.
- 10:07Speaker 1: If you want to know why Democrats are going insane
- 10:12Speaker 1: over Elon Musk and Doge and Donald Trump, it's it's
- 10:15Speaker 1: because they're losing their gravy train. They had no problem
- 10:22Speaker 1: with Barack Obama saying it. They have no problem with
- 10:26Speaker 1: any other Democrats saying the same thing, as long as
- 10:30Speaker 1: it was their party that was in charge. I'll give
- 10:35Speaker 1: you another example of this, Brett Baher sit down at
- 10:38Speaker 1: the White House with some of the DOGE workers and
- 10:41Speaker 1: Elon Musk, and I want you to hear one of
- 10:43Speaker 1: their stories.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Listen carefully, and it.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Is alarming how the financial operations of financial management is
- 10:50Speaker 4: set up today. There is actually really only one bank
- 10:53Speaker 4: account that's used to disperse all monies that go out
- 10:58Speaker 4: of the federal government.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Talk about one blank account.
- 11:00Speaker 4: It's a big one. It's it's a big one. A
- 11:03Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, I had eight hundred million dollars
- 11:05Speaker 4: in it. But it's the Treasury edital account. So when
- 11:09Speaker 4: you hear you know, some of my colleagues here what
- 11:11Speaker 4: they're talking about in terms of the fraud you have
- 11:14Speaker 4: to ask, well, why is this allowed to happen at
- 11:17Speaker 4: a financial level. Well, it's actually quite simple but alarming.
- 11:21Speaker 4: The Treasury up until now, and thanks to President Trump,
- 11:25Speaker 4: we're fixing this. In fact, there's an executive order that
- 11:27Speaker 4: he just signed the other day which is protecting America's
- 11:30Speaker 4: bank account because it really is the tax payer of money,
- 11:32Speaker 4: you know.
- 11:33Speaker 2: One, we're changing the culture.
- 11:34Speaker 4: The culture is been not a lot of caring and
- 11:39Speaker 4: not a lot of commitment to doing what's right. Relative
- 11:42Speaker 4: to financial operations. There's a five hundred million dollars a
- 11:45Speaker 4: fraud every year. There's one hundreds of million dollars of
- 11:47Speaker 4: in proper payments, and we can't pass it on it.
- 11:51Speaker 4: The Consolidated Financial Report is produced by Treasury, and we
- 11:55Speaker 4: cannot pass it on.
- 11:56Speaker 2: We have material weaknesses.
- 11:57Speaker 4: What that means is that if I was a public
- 11:59Speaker 4: company's CFO, I would effectively be removed. I couldn't file
- 12:03Speaker 4: financial statements, I couldn't issue securities.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Can't pass it on right, the federal government cannot pass
- 12:09Speaker 5: it in order. It's impossible.
- 12:11Speaker 1: In fact, let's just stop there, Elon Musk, and I'm
- 12:15Speaker 1: going to play a second part of this in a
- 12:17Speaker 1: second But what Elon must said, the United States government.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Couldn't pass an audit. Do you want to know why?
- 12:22Speaker 1: Because they set this up deliberately to make sure they
- 12:25Speaker 1: never had to deal with an audit so they could
- 12:27Speaker 1: then encourage the waste, fraud, and abuse to their cronies
- 12:32Speaker 1: and political allies, whether it's PBS or NPR, or or
- 12:38Speaker 1: transsitioning mice to be training mice. This is or Sesame
- 12:43Speaker 1: Street in Iraq or wherever.
- 12:45Speaker 2: The hell we did that. This is the problem.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But I want to go back to a point I
- 12:51Speaker 1: was making a second.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Ago, and that is this.
- 12:54Speaker 1: There is a group of people in this country called Democrats,
- 12:58Speaker 1: and I'm talking about their leadership.
- 12:59Speaker 2: They aren't really democrats.
- 13:01Speaker 1: They are Marxists, they're socialists, they're communists, it's all three.
- 13:05Speaker 2: They're anarchists. Throw them in there.
- 13:07Speaker 1: They may be a mixture of everything, like a just
- 13:10Speaker 1: a hot bag, and you know what, And they're masquerading
- 13:14Speaker 1: as Democrats because they don't believe that the American people
- 13:17Speaker 1: are fully ready for them to just say I'm a
- 13:19Speaker 1: socialist or I'm a communist. Like now, in some parts
- 13:21Speaker 1: of the country there have been a declared socialists and
- 13:23Speaker 1: communists have actually won elections, so they believe they're coming
- 13:28Speaker 1: around to this. The American people like, they believe there's
- 13:31Speaker 1: enough of these socialist Marxists and communists that are being
- 13:34Speaker 1: created in our in our public school system, in our
- 13:37Speaker 1: college institutions, that are being in doctrinary that at some
- 13:40Speaker 1: point they'll say, like, yeah, we're not Democrats more.
- 13:42Speaker 2: But they gott to lie to you.
- 13:44Speaker 1: But they have no problem with their own party saying
- 13:47Speaker 1: what was said by Barack Obama.
- 13:50Speaker 2: They didn't burn down.
- 13:52Speaker 1: People's belongings because he said it when he said it.
- 13:56Speaker 2: They didn't torch people.
- 13:57Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't become anarchists, they didn't go crazy.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of just the corruption here,
- 14:03Speaker 1: and I would play you the audio clip, but it's.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Actually not in English.
- 14:07Speaker 1: But Zelensky just came out and this is a perfect
- 14:09Speaker 1: example of the left. And he says, Ukraine quote will
- 14:12Speaker 1: not recognize all of the previous US military aid as
- 14:16Speaker 1: debt quote unquote, we're not recognizing debts. He went on
- 14:20Speaker 1: to say this, and this is from earlier today. Now
- 14:22Speaker 1: this is the same guy that's begging us for more money.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Trump's liking. I don't know about that. And now the
- 14:27Speaker 1: guy's like, well, if you think we're gonna do a
- 14:29Speaker 1: deal to take on that debt when you gave us
- 14:31Speaker 1: all that money.
- 14:32Speaker 2: With that last administration, you're wrong.
- 14:33Speaker 1: It ain't happening on the issue of debts, Zelensky said.
- 14:37Speaker 1: If the issue is raised, we are not recognizing debts.
- 14:39Speaker 1: As I said, I mean, the US AID is in
- 14:42Speaker 1: the past at least again. If there are any prospects
- 14:46Speaker 1: new aid packages in the United States, can probably set
- 14:48Speaker 1: some conditions realizing that this team will not do anything
- 14:52Speaker 1: for free. They say it officially right. I love how
- 14:56Speaker 1: he's like acting like that's a bad thing. No, this
- 14:58Speaker 1: administration is not gonna give you a bunch of money.
- 15:01Speaker 1: And by the way Zolensky's own words, we don't know
- 15:05Speaker 1: where half of the money is gone.
- 15:07Speaker 2: By the way, I know exactly where it's gone.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It's gone to the Ukrainian oligarchs around Zolensky, who are
- 15:13Speaker 1: all hanging out in five star hotels in Warsaw. That's
- 15:16Speaker 1: where the damn money's going. Bo When he sits, he's like, well,
- 15:19Speaker 1: we're not gonna recognize the fine. Then then shut off
- 15:21Speaker 1: the spout. You don't want any more aid from us
- 15:25Speaker 1: with conditions, no problem, like please save me the money.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I'm more than happy for that to happen. I think
- 15:31Speaker 1: the majority of the American people would agree with me.
- 15:34Speaker 1: This is the best part about what is happening right
- 15:39Speaker 1: now in our government. Another example of this, AHHS Secretary
- 15:43Speaker 1: Kennedy is now planning to cut ten thousand jobs. The
- 15:48Speaker 1: Health and the Human Services Secretary is expected to announce
- 15:51Speaker 1: drastic changes to his department, including cutting ten thousand full
- 15:56Speaker 1: time employees and closing regional offices. Wording to documents outlining
- 16:01Speaker 1: the plan. The cuts in the workforce are in addition
- 16:04Speaker 1: to roughly ten thousand employees who chose to leave their
- 16:07Speaker 1: jobs through voluntary separation plans after Donald Trump took office.
- 16:12Speaker 2: This being well reported by The Wall Street Journal.
- 16:15Speaker 1: The cuts include Food and Drug Administration three thousand, five
- 16:19Speaker 1: hundred full time employees, or nineteen percent of the workforce,
- 16:25Speaker 1: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention two thy four hundred employees,
- 16:29Speaker 1: or about eighteen percent of their workforce national instead of
- 16:34Speaker 1: healthy two hundred employees or about six percent of their workforce.
- 16:39Speaker 1: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services three hundred employees
- 16:43Speaker 1: or four percent of their workforce.
- 16:45Speaker 2: The plan would shrink the.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Department to about sixty two thousand by removing one quarter
- 16:51Speaker 1: of its workforce and eliminating five of HHS's ten regional offices.
- 16:57Speaker 1: According to the documents, which add and essential health services
- 17:02Speaker 1: will not be affected.
- 17:04Speaker 2: The employees being let go are.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Spread among departments nationwide that are tasked with the approvals
- 17:10Speaker 1: of new drugs, providing insurance for the nation's poorest people,
- 17:14Speaker 1: responding to disease outbreaks.
- 17:17Speaker 2: And more.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Those are the different issues that we're talking about here.
- 17:21Speaker 2: The CDC, meanwhile.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Will return to its core mission of preparing for and
- 17:27Speaker 1: responding to epidemics. According to documents, it cuts are not
- 17:32Speaker 1: to come from divisions that focus on infectious diseases.
- 17:35Speaker 2: An HSS official has.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Confirmed the reorganization further calls to quote centralize HHS communications,
- 17:44Speaker 1: information technology, procurement, human resources, and policy planning efforts that
- 17:49Speaker 1: are now distributed through the department's divisions in some branches.
- 17:53Speaker 1: The Secretary is also planning to create a new subdivision,
- 17:57Speaker 1: the Administration for Healthy America, combining HHS offices addressing toxic substances,
- 18:06Speaker 1: occupational safety, addiction, and more into one central office. The
- 18:13Speaker 1: we'll focus the programs addressing clinic disease prevention and health
- 18:17Speaker 1: resources for low income Americans. Kennedy, a frequent critic of
- 18:21Speaker 1: the AHHS in the past, ran for Presidents you know
- 18:24Speaker 1: last year on a platform of addressing chronic disease in America.
- 18:28Speaker 1: After he endorsed Trump in August, the two said they
- 18:30Speaker 1: were going to make America quote unquote healthy again. The
- 18:34Speaker 1: Trump administration, through efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency
- 18:38Speaker 1: led by Elon Musk, has cut thousands of federal government employees.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Several lawsuits, by the way, been filed on challenging the
- 18:45Speaker 1: people that are crying about I should keep my job.
- 18:48Speaker 2: They're not flinching. By the way, the.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Cuts are not to affect the FDA's inspectors or food reviewers.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Why am I telling you all this because you know
- 18:56Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. The Left is going to tell
- 18:59Speaker 1: you that you're gonna get sick and die, and they're
- 19:02Speaker 1: putting your health at risk by making these cuts. So
- 19:04Speaker 1: that's why I want you to understand where the cuts
- 19:07Speaker 1: are and where they're not. So again, this list I'm
- 19:10Speaker 1: giving you right now is extremely important.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I hope you'll share it with everyone you know.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Because you know, the left's gonna say, oh, well, we're
- 19:17Speaker 1: not gonna have you food inspectors out there, You're gonna
- 19:20Speaker 1: die of some terrible disease.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Again the facts the.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Cuts are not affected the affecting the FDA's inspectors or
- 19:27Speaker 1: food reviewers, and several FDA probationary workers who had been
- 19:31Speaker 1: cut last month were rehired a week later. The plans
- 19:35Speaker 1: also call for several offices to shift. They say the
- 19:39Speaker 1: Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, which oversees the Strategic
- 19:44Speaker 1: National Stockpile and pandemic Preparedness Planning, is to be moved
- 19:48Speaker 1: under the CDC rather than operating as it does now
- 19:51Speaker 1: as a separate division. Kennedy's Administration for a Healthy America
- 19:57Speaker 1: is to include the Health Resources and Services Administration, as
- 20:01Speaker 1: well the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the
- 20:04Speaker 1: Substance Abuse and the Mental Health Services Administration, along with
- 20:08Speaker 1: two divisions under the CDC, the Agency for Toxic Substances
- 20:13Speaker 1: and Disease Regular Registry and the National Institute for Occupational
- 20:17Speaker 1: Safety and Health.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Now, why does that matter?
- 20:20Speaker 1: This reminds me of our government before nine to eleven.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Before nine to eleven, the CIA wasn't really talking with
- 20:27Speaker 1: the FBI, and the FBI wasn't really talking with others.
- 20:32Speaker 1: They were all kind of separate, doing their own thing.
- 20:35Speaker 1: And what we found out was some of the things
- 20:37Speaker 1: that we missed before nine to eleven were actually because
- 20:41Speaker 1: there was too many turf wars, like that's not your lane,
- 20:44Speaker 1: that's my lane, that's our jurisdiction, not yours. And so
- 20:48Speaker 1: what it seems like you're hearing from Kennedy here is
- 20:51Speaker 1: that he's like, Hey, we're gonna get rid of this
- 20:53Speaker 1: bureaucracy and all this crap, and we're gonna put the
- 20:55Speaker 1: groups together that need to be together together, and we're
- 20:58Speaker 1: not going to sit here and play turf war or
- 21:00Speaker 1: as we're dealing with America's health.
- 21:01Speaker 2: What a novel idea.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Other offices relating to adjudicating or investigating disputes related to
- 21:09Speaker 1: Medicare or other areas of AJHS are moved to are
- 21:12Speaker 1: going to be moved to be under a new Assistant
- 21:14Speaker 1: Secretary of Enforcement.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Again consolidation, saving you money.
- 21:19Speaker 1: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, they say, we'll
- 21:22Speaker 1: merge with the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluations to
- 21:25Speaker 1: form a new Office of strategy, it's my favorite fake
- 21:30Speaker 1: George Bush word there strategy, you know what I'm saying.
- 21:33Speaker 1: And programs for older adults currently under the Administration for
- 21:37Speaker 1: Community Living. Again, this is another example of them saying,
- 21:41Speaker 1: why are we wasting all this money? Why are we
- 21:43Speaker 1: having all of these different things under all these different agencies,
- 21:47Speaker 1: and why can't they all work together and at the
- 21:50Speaker 1: same time save Americans money.
- 21:53Speaker 2: This is what it's all about.
- 21:55Speaker 1: This is exactly why there are so many people right
- 21:58Speaker 1: now that are so happy, and there's so many liberals
- 22:00Speaker 1: that are so angry because they love government waste, because
- 22:04Speaker 1: it empowers them. They love that the government traditionally, okay,
- 22:10Speaker 1: lets say it carefully, is a massive hiring force for
- 22:17Speaker 1: like minded radicals, liberals that have entrenched themselves in a
- 22:24Speaker 1: way that I don't think any of us could have
- 22:26Speaker 1: seen coming to totally dictate to America a government bureaucracy
- 22:34Speaker 1: filled with waste, fraud, and abuse, hooking each other's friends up.
- 22:38Speaker 1: This is exactly what the American people voted for. It's
- 22:42Speaker 1: exactly what the American people said that they wanted. Now,
- 22:45Speaker 1: by the way, Chuck Schumer, he's like completely unhinged right now,
- 22:50Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer had a press conference with other Democrats and
- 22:54Speaker 1: they lost it, like they Schumer really kind of went crazy.
- 23:00Speaker 2: And what he said in his.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Comments was that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are quote
- 23:08Speaker 1: eroding the American dream with doge.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Trump and Musk are just eroding the American dream.
- 23:18Speaker 3: They're rigging the system for billionaires while stealing from the elderly,
- 23:23Speaker 3: from the disabled to cut taxes for their billionaire club.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I gotta say I love that, I really do.
- 23:30Speaker 1: I love what he is saying there because it's so
- 23:34Speaker 1: absurd that I think the majority of Americans.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Know just how ridiculous it is.
- 23:40Speaker 1: They had this conference and they sit there like Elon
- 23:43Speaker 1: Musk is eroding the American dream. How by giving Americans
- 23:47Speaker 1: more of their money back by making more Americans can
- 23:50Speaker 1: succeed because they may not have to pay as much
- 23:53Speaker 1: in taxes in the future after we get rid of
- 23:55Speaker 1: a trillion dollars in government waste, fraud and abuse.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Like I'm dead serious.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Tell me how they're and then they say, oh, and
- 24:05Speaker 1: this is what they always.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Go back to.
- 24:08Speaker 1: They they they always go back to this, Okay, like
- 24:12Speaker 1: like they always go back to this.
- 24:15Speaker 2: They say over and over and over again.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Anytime they wanted to rail Republican idea, they say, oh, well,
- 24:23Speaker 1: you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna they're gonna
- 24:27Speaker 1: take away your Social Security, they're gonna take away your
- 24:30Speaker 1: safety net, They're gonna.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Take away everything that you have. They're gonna ruin your life.
- 24:35Speaker 1: These evil and they're gonna give it to the rich, right,
- 24:38Speaker 1: and then that gets the many seniors all up in arms.
- 24:41Speaker 2: But I don't think right now it's working anymore.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I I actually believe they've said it for so long
- 24:49Speaker 1: that the sky is falling chicken.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Little YadA YadA YadA, that they that they it's just
- 24:55Speaker 2: it's it's done.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Like I think people are just like Noll like no, like.
- 25:01Speaker 2: We don't believe you.
- 25:03Speaker 1: We've heard you say this too many times. We've heard
- 25:08Speaker 1: you say it too many times, and we don't believe you.
- 25:12Speaker 1: We've heard you say it so much that we think
- 25:16Speaker 1: you are just a liar, that you're lying to us
- 25:19Speaker 1: constantly about this, So we actually don't believe you. We
- 25:24Speaker 1: don't believe what you're saying, and we're not listening to
- 25:27Speaker 1: it because we think you're full of crap. And that's
- 25:31Speaker 1: the best part of all is that the American people
- 25:33Speaker 1: now they've overplayed their hand and the American people understand it. Like,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I really do believe this. I believe that the American
- 25:41Speaker 1: people truly truly understand it. And they're watching it and
- 25:46Speaker 1: they're witnessing it and they're like.
- 25:48Speaker 6: Yeah, no, no, now, like we don't believe you. You can
- 25:54Speaker 6: say this is all you want, but we don't believe you.
- 26:00Speaker 2: This one. I really actually hope you guys will help
- 26:02Speaker 2: go viral.
- 26:03Speaker 1: It is just a classic example of like the left
- 26:08Speaker 1: and how I believe it is a mental disease.
- 26:11Speaker 2: What these people like believe.
- 26:13Speaker 1: It says leftists, that's vandalism, and it's car burnout marks
- 26:19Speaker 1: over their Gay Pride sidewalks and then below it says
- 26:23Speaker 1: also leftists and it's literally burning Tesla's to the ground
- 26:28Speaker 1: and they're like, that's protesting. Yeah, if you guys want
- 26:32Speaker 1: to just hack off a lefty today, just go retweet
- 26:36Speaker 1: it real quick at Ben Ferguson show. You can find
- 26:39Speaker 1: it there. I just put that picture up. It's amazing
- 26:41Speaker 1: because it's so accurate.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Right, Like they're the.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Ones that are like, oh, it's a hate crime if
- 26:45Speaker 1: you do a burnout. Remember they were like hunting down.
- 26:48Speaker 1: They were actually hunting down people that did burnouts over
- 26:51Speaker 1: their gay pride sidewalks and crosswalks, and they were like
- 26:55Speaker 1: put them in jail. They were wanting it to be
- 26:57Speaker 1: a hate crime. But you tore Tesla dealerships and actually
- 27:01Speaker 1: plant bombs at Tesla dealerships Like no, no, totally good
- 27:05Speaker 1: and why because Elon Musk is taking away their power.
- 27:09Speaker 1: He's taking away their power by stopping our funding going
- 27:12Speaker 1: to the most ridiculous things in the world. Elon Musk
- 27:16Speaker 1: and his interview that he did with Brett Baer did Brett,
- 27:18Speaker 1: by the way, did one hell of a job with
- 27:20Speaker 1: his interview. I had the privilege of interviewing Elon Musk
- 27:22Speaker 1: Gosh the week before this, and Elon's one of these
- 27:25Speaker 1: guys like after meeting him, sitting down with him, talking
- 27:27Speaker 1: with him, and interviewing him with Centater Cruz. We did
- 27:32Speaker 1: this for the podcast We Do Verdict with Ted Cruz.
- 27:34Speaker 1: We did a two part sitting down with Eon and afterwards,
- 27:36Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I like want to work for you,
- 27:39Speaker 1: I want to help you do this. I want to
- 27:42Speaker 1: be your biggest advocate, because what you understand is the
- 27:45Speaker 1: Left is trying to bankrupt him. They're trying to destroy
- 27:47Speaker 1: his doctor're trying to destroy his life's work.
- 27:50Speaker 2: They're doing everything they can to hurt this man.
- 27:52Speaker 1: He's genuinely concerned that he's going to be killed before
- 27:55Speaker 1: his work with Doe just finished. And yeah, here he
- 27:59Speaker 1: is still sitting with all these other brilliant minds around him,
- 28:02Speaker 1: trying to stop our government from wasting our tax dollars,
- 28:06Speaker 1: something that Barack Obama advocated for in twenty eleven, which
- 28:09Speaker 1: I played for you earlier, and nobody was torching anything
- 28:13Speaker 1: when Barack Obama said it.
- 28:15Speaker 2: So what changed one person?
- 28:17Speaker 1: A Democrat it was okay when they said it, and
- 28:20Speaker 1: they knew they weren't actually going to do it. But
- 28:22Speaker 1: a Republican says it is actually doing it, and they're like,
- 28:25Speaker 1: you know, off with their heads.
- 28:28Speaker 5: In order to pass, you need the information, Mester. It noted,
- 28:32Speaker 5: you need to have the payment codes, you need to
- 28:33Speaker 5: have the payment explanation, and you need to have a
- 28:35Speaker 5: post and you can contact to understand why that payment
- 28:38Speaker 5: was made. None of those things were mandatory until until
- 28:41Speaker 5: just recently, just a few weeks ago, in fact, maybe.
- 28:43Speaker 2: The last week.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Yeah, we're serving five hundred and eighty plus agencies, and
- 28:47Speaker 4: up until very recently, effectively they could say make the
- 28:51Speaker 4: payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible,
- 28:54Speaker 4: no verification. And so what we're doing is what any
- 28:58Speaker 4: household would do. But imagine your household. You have a
- 29:00Speaker 4: bank account. Everyone has an ATM card connect to that account.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Everyone has a checkbook to that account. It's not just
- 29:07Speaker 4: your children, it's not just your parents, that your in lass.
- 29:09Speaker 4: It's your extended family and they all can go to
- 29:12Speaker 4: the account and disperse funds, no questions asked, no justification,
- 29:16Speaker 4: no verification.
- 29:17Speaker 2: It's insane.
- 29:20Speaker 1: This goes back to the the magic that money computers.
- 29:26Speaker 1: This is something that Elon said in our interviews when
- 29:29Speaker 1: we were sitting down and talking to him and he
- 29:31Speaker 1: was talking about these computers.
- 29:32Speaker 2: I want to play this for you. This is from
- 29:34Speaker 2: like a couple of weeks ago. Listen, magic money computers. Okay, well,
- 29:39Speaker 2: so tell us about it, because I've never heard of
- 29:41Speaker 2: that until you brought that up.
- 29:42Speaker 5: Okay, So you may think that these that the government
- 29:46Speaker 5: computers like all talk to each other, they synchronize, they
- 29:50Speaker 5: add up what funds are going somewhere, and it's you know,
- 29:54Speaker 5: it's coherent that that the you know, there's that, and
- 29:58Speaker 5: that the numbers, for example that you're present as a senator, yeah,
- 30:01Speaker 5: are actually the real numbers.
- 30:03Speaker 2: And one would think, well, I would think they're not.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I mean they're not totally wrong, but they're
- 30:10Speaker 5: probably off by five percent or ten percent in some cases.
- 30:14Speaker 5: So I call it magic money computer and computer which
- 30:17Speaker 5: can just make money out of the air best magic money.
- 30:20Speaker 2: So how does that work?
- 30:21Speaker 5: It just issues payments.
- 30:23Speaker 2: And you said something like eleven of these computers of
- 30:26Speaker 2: treasury that are that are sending out trillions in payments.
- 30:29Speaker 5: They're mostly Treasury, some are with the sum at HHS,
- 30:34Speaker 5: some at there's one wanted to as States, there's some
- 30:38Speaker 5: at DoD. I think we found now fourteen magic money computers. Okay,
- 30:44Speaker 5: they just send money out of nothing.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Out of nothing, magic money computers. They just send money
- 30:51Speaker 1: out of nothing. That is how our government has been operating.
- 30:55Speaker 1: That's why they call it magic money computers. And they're
- 30:59Speaker 1: fourteen of these these magic computers at the federal government.
- 31:02Speaker 1: They just send money out of nothing. And now you
- 31:05Speaker 1: understand why Democrats want this guy dead for this exact reason.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Right here, by the way, that clip I just put
- 31:12Speaker 1: it up on x so share it, make it liberal angry,
