    The only thing that matters is what chat. What matters? Anyone? Power.

  • Unknown B
    I can see what.
    (0:00:10)
  • Unknown A
    I'm out.
    (0:00:11)
  • Unknown C
    Power.
    (0:00:12)
  • Unknown A
    That is all that matters. No, it doesn't. And we have a system of checks and balances. That's a good one. That's really funny. We do. Donald Trump's gonna order his own arrest.
    (0:00:13)
  • Unknown B
    I like how he gives the whole game away. Here, bro. Kill me. It's so crazy how they can just say it.
    (0:00:25)
  • Unknown C
    Also, if you don't answer, I guess you get fired.
    (0:00:33)
  • Unknown B
    They're laughing because they think he's joking, because he's laughing, because he's like, this guy is a joke. Right?

  • Unknown D
    The FBI director, Cash Patel, informed Republican senators that it would be an individual named as the deputy who was a special agent currently at the FBI. And of course, Mr. Bongino is not. What was the reason for naming Mr. Bongino to this position? And was Mr. Patel not correct in making that assurance to those senators?
    (0:00:45)
  • Unknown E
    I'm not sure if anybody in this room has listened to Mr. Bongino when he talks about the past corruption at the FBI, when he talks about his experience serving for the United States Secret Service. This is a man who loves his country and who has honorably served our country in ways that many people have not. He understands the depth of the corruption at these institutions which the American people reelected President Trump to shake up. And I think it's quite despicable to see many networks in this room who have had Chirons on their television screens labeling Mr. Bongino as a far right podcaster. He is not. He is a former law enforcement agent. He is a former Secret Service agent who put his life on the line to protect this country. And that is why the President of the United States has entrusted him for this important role.
    (0:01:02)
  • Unknown B
    He's also an outsider, a far right podcaster. Does he have a YouTube channel or is he just on Rumble? Trump keeps delivering and the libs are seething. This is going to be our deputy FBI director. Communist libs are causing a constitutional crisis. The Trump and Elon tag team rock the deep state. The liberal meltdown means they're guilty. In this scandal, Doge uncovers more corruption than we ever thought possible.
    (0:01:35)
  • Unknown A
    So this is what they're doing. This is why Clarence Thomas has been speaking out about the Holy eq.
    (0:02:13)
  • Unknown B
    We have annihilated the highs in this.
    (0:02:20)
  • Unknown A
    About the national restraining orders. How a judge in New York can give a restraining order for a congressional district in Wyoming is ridiculous.
    (0:02:23)
  • Unknown B
    Wait, what did Clarence Thomas say about this?
    (0:02:32)
  • Unknown A
    Why Clarence Thomas has been speaking out about the national restraining orders. How a judge in New York can give a restraining order for a congressional district in Wyoming is ridiculous. Clarence Thomas been warning about this forever. This amuse on Twitter is talking about this law fair too? How this Obama appointed judge threatened Trump and his team with arrest if they don't restore every dime of funding that have been paused or canceled. Folks, my recommendation.
    (0:02:35)
  • Unknown B
    Yeah, that's what happens when you don't follow a court order.
    (0:03:02)
  • Unknown A
    Donald Trump should ignore this.
    (0:03:05)
  • Unknown B
    Oh, well, that's good. So the second in charge at the FBI, which I imagine would be one of the domestic police forces that would hopefully enforce federal court orders, although it might also cross over to the U.S. marshals. Although I don't know who the head of the US Marshals is right now. If they, if that's just the Attorney general or if there's like a different reporting, I don't know, like the deputy or whatever. But okay, well, at least this guy is good on ignoring court orders.
    (0:03:07)
  • Unknown A
    Okay, this judge is obviously not acting constitutionally at all.
    (0:03:30)
  • Unknown B
    I'm bored of asking this question and I'll ask it again because it's, it's all, it's everybody, it's Hassan, it's Trump, it's asmongold, it's Finkelstein. He says that the judge is out of line. Do you think that we're going to get a single shred of actual analysis for how the judge was incorrect or is it going to be a contest to see how many loads from Trump we can swallow in a minute and 25 seconds?
    (0:03:38)
  • Unknown A
    Obviously not acting constitutionally at all. It should be ignored. Demand that resuming all. But you can't order the executive to spend. I mean, you've effectively usurped the power of the executive. Now, before I get to the next, I'm going to play your video by crazy. Big Balls McGroid is here. Big Balls. I knew we had one. I knew it. I was thinking about this on the Monday show. I'm like, we better have a big balls McGroy or the McGroin army's losing their influence, man. Thank you, you guys. I knew the McGroins would be there. I knew you guys and ladies are the best. That's fantastic, folks. Threatening with arrest. Who's going to arrest them? The marshals. You guys know who the US Marshals work for?
    (0:04:08)
  • Unknown B
    Oh, bringing up the marshals. The Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Or is it Bovee Department of Justice.
    (0:04:52)
  • Unknown A
    That is under the. Oh, yeah, executive brain. Donald Trump's going to order his own arrest.
    (0:05:00)
  • Unknown B
    I like how he gives the whole game away. Here, bro. Kill me. It's so crazy how they can just say it. You think that Trump can break the law? What's he going to do, arrest himself?
    (0:05:05)
  • Unknown A
    That is under the oh, yeah, executive, Brad. Donald Trump's going to order his own arrest and his team. This is ridiculous. So this is what they're doing.
    (0:05:19)
  • Unknown B
    This guy runs the FBI. He said he would be second in charge. Top would be Cash Patel. He would be the second in command.
    (0:05:30)
  • Unknown A
    The only thing that matters is what, Chad? What matters? Anyone? Power. Power. You can see. What about power? That is all that matters. No, it doesn't. And we have a system of checks and balances. That's a good one. That's really funny. We do. After the election, we may get the house back by five, 10 votes. Then we could pick a different speaker. He says, but this is not the time. Yes, sir, it is not the time. The only thing that matters is what, Chad? What matters? Anyone? Power. Power.
    (0:05:37)
  • Unknown B
    Does it seem to you that the Trump appointments, this admin seem so much worse than the previous Trump admin? Yeah, of course they are, but that's again, that's because before they didn't realize that Trump. Trump didn't know how government worked. He didn't know he needed actual sycophants because everything he wanted to do was illegal. Why is Cash Patel a bad pick? Because he's also a Trump sycophant. He authored a children's book on how Trump was the king, doesn't believe in the results of the 2020 election, has repeatedly said and seems to have a commitment to persecuting enemies of the Trump administration as much as they can with the FBI is just fucking gross.
    (0:06:32)
  • Unknown A
    We're not forgetting about any of this. Lefties, are you? You listening to us? We hear. I don't care what you're hearing from Republicans on Capitol Hill. We are not forgetting about shit again.
    (0:07:09)
  • Unknown B
    It's all about revenge and owning the libs.
    (0:07:22)
  • Unknown A
    Do you get that? We are going to hold every one of these people accountable. And if we can't find politicians that will do it, then we're going to find someone else. There is absolutely zero chance we are going back to normal. We're not forgetting about.
    (0:07:24)
  • Unknown B
    Yeah, sorry, hold on. Just as a quick reminder, Cash Patel, the guy who is the head of the FBI, we looked at this once a long time ago, okay? Made a children's book about America. This is a trailer for his book. Once upon a time in the land.
    (0:07:44)
  • Unknown A
    Of freedom, the heralds got together and.
    (0:08:16)

    They took away the tweeting by order.

    Of the evil queen to plot against.

    Call me in the shifty old night.
    (0:08:30)
  • Unknown B
    Two snugs and a long, sticky silver streak of slime.
    (0:08:32)
  • Unknown A
    The kingdom all believe the plot against the king.
    (0:08:37)
  • Unknown B
    Anyway, these people are definitely not far right. I can't believe you would imply that he is not.
    (0:08:46)
  • Unknown E
    He is a former law enforcement to shake up. And I think it's quite despicable to see many networks in this room who have had chyrons on their television screens labeling Mr. Bongino as a far right podcaster. He is not. He is a former law enforcement agent. He is a former Secret Service agent who put his life on the line to protect this country. And that is why the President of the United States has entrusted him for this important role. He is also an outsider to this Washington swamp. And we often see that when outsiders are appointed to such coveted positions, a lot of people in the city get very, very nervous. And they should be, because Dan Bongino and Cash Patel and Attorney General Bondi are focused on rooting out the corruption at these agencies and ending the weaponization of government once and for all.
    (0:08:55)
  • Unknown B
    Ah, just Elon Musk casually undermining or undermining the division of powers in the government. That's good. If any judge anywhere can block every presidential order everywhere. We do not have democracy. We have tyranny of the judiciary. Hello. It's almost like. It's almost like federal judges have the authority to rule on federal matters that impact the entirety of the United States of America. It's almost like that's what the whole point of the federal judiciary is. Hmm. Disbar, impeach, indict, imprison and then deport all, activist and then deport, imprison and deport. All right. Based. Oh, no. Is this actually true? I haven't dug into this, but it might be worth digging into. So one of the things that people said was, look, isn't this kind of corrupt? There's a $400 million deal from the US government to buy Tesla cybertrucks as armored vehicles or whatever. And then more information came out and people were like, well, it looks like this was a contract that was authorized under the Biden admin.
    (0:09:28)
  • Unknown B
    So it's fine, right? It's not like the Biden admin was being rigged by Elon or whatever. Whatever you're trying to say about Trump doesn't apply here. But now, apparently more information has come out saying that that contract was originally like $480,000, but somehow it got up to 400 million when it wasn't what it was supposed to originally be. The controversy started in a very Washington way. As a line item in a government spreadsheet buried on the State Department's website, it appeared as if the State Department was taking steps to award Elon Musk's Tesla a $400 million government contract by Armored Electric Vehicles to securely transport diplomats. The move to set in motion a lucrative contract to a company controlled by a high profile ally of President Trump seemed so bold it surprised even longtime observers of the norm busting president. When asked about it, the State Department issued a statement saying sorry, saying the purchase is now on hold with no plans of fulfilling the contract, pointing out that talks with Tesla began during the Biden administration.
    (0:10:46)
  • Unknown B
    But NPR has obtained a State Department document detailing that Biden's State Department planned to spend just $483,000 in the 2025 fisc on buying electric vehicles and $3 million for supporting the equipment like charging stations. It represented less than 1% of the hundreds of millions of dollars likely destined for Tesla vehicles after the Trump administration quietly revised a State Department procurement document. The vast discrepancy in the numbers raises the question. I like how they said raises instead of bags. Good job. Was it an error or deliberate action? A former Biden White House official familiar with the State Department's plans told NPR the steps taken to advance $400 million worth of government business to Tesla appears to be intentional. I don't think this is a clerical error. It was likely someone who is new in the State Department who decided, okay, we're going to do this with Tesla, said the former official, who is not authorized to speak about the matter.
    (0:11:57)
  • Unknown B
    The person said the State Department of Tesla had agreed during the Biden admin to conduct research about armoring electric vehicles, but no money had been set aside to purchase armored Teslas for the State Department. A total budget of $483,000 had been approved to buy light duty EVs as possible state Department vehicles. That plan was moving forward as November 2024. The White House and must have now returned multiple requests for comment. In a statement to NPR on Monday, a State Department spokesperson said the $400 million figure was an estimate, pointing out that it was in the early stages and was not yet a full contract, but rather a proposal strictly to gather information. The department spokesperson or spokesman said the Department of State has no intention to move forward with the solicitation. In a Feb. 13 post on his social media platform X Musk, who is also a Top White House official said, I'm pretty sure Tesla isn't getting 400 million.
    (0:12:46)
  • Unknown B
    No one mentioned it to me, at least. After the original procurement doc attracted widespread attention, NPR reported that the Trump administration appeared to have quietly edited the document, changing the phrase armored Tesla to the more generic armored electric vehicles without explanation. Eventually, the line or the item vanished from the State Department's procurement document. Hmm. The document claims it was originally published in December at the end of then President Joe Biden's term, but it does not appear in the Internet Archive for that month. The $400 million item in the procurement document caused a stir. Since then, Trump officials have not answered why the State Department appeared to be taking steps to purchase or to pursue an acquisition of electric vehicles from Tesla, with the company's stainless steel cybertruck likely being the most suitable option for an armored vehicle. The proposed purchase amount would likely exceed what the entire federal government would spend on electric vehicles in 20.
    (0:13:31)
  • Unknown B
    Hmm. Mr. President, can you clarify hopefully once and for all what your expectations are with this email to federal employees? What are you going to use that information for and do you see it as voluntary, like OPM has said, or mandatory?
    (0:14:25)
  • Unknown C
    Well, it's somewhat voluntary, but it's also, if you don't answer, I guess you get fired.
    (0:14:39)
  • Unknown B
    That's. I mean, that's like a. That's a position that you could have.
    (0:14:50)
  • Unknown C
    What it really is, what it is, is, do people exist?
    (0:14:59)
  • Unknown B
    We have a. Oh, we were asking a deeper metaphysics question. What does it mean to exist? Oh, wait.
    (0:15:04)
  • Unknown E
    The President's executive order creating Doge called for the naming of a Doge administrator. Who is the Doge administrator? So the President asked Elon Musk to oversee the Doge effort. There are career officials and there are political appointees who are helping run DOGE on a day to day basis. There are also individuals who have onboarded as political appointees at every agency across the board to work alongside President Trump's cabinet to find and identify waste, fraud and abuse. And they are working on that effort every day.
    (0:15:20)
  • Unknown B
    Reagan, why was Elon not the administrator? Isn't that kind of weird? I think they did name one, Right? I feel like I read that an hour or two ago. But why would Elon not be named the administrator? Isn't that kind of weird?
    (0:15:42)
  • Unknown E
    Administrator Reagan. Thanks, Caroline. I do agree with one on the border wall and one on the CHS investigation. Sure. First on the border wall. Border wall construction has restarted in Texas and California.
    (0:15:53)
  • Unknown B
    Oh yeah, they named Amy Gleason. I don't know anything about her. But a background in health care and previously worked at the U.S. digital Service, an office created by President Barack Obama and is and most recently named after Doge.
    (0:16:02)
  • Unknown E
    This entire administration will be in attendance tomorrow just to talk about Doge's efforts and how all of the Cabinet secretaries are identifying waste, fraud, and abuse at their respective agencies. We look forward to the meeting tomorrow. And I think you'll be hearing from the president and his Cabinet where they're on campus tomorrow. I hope you guys are excited.
    (0:16:18)
  • Unknown D
    So some of those Cabinet members were caught off guard by the email.
    (0:16:29)
  • Unknown E
    Nobody was caught off guard.
    (0:16:32)
  • Unknown D
    A few departments said they were caught off guard. The FBI was. The DOJ was.
    (0:16:33)
  • Unknown B
    They literally came out and they said, hey, employees, don't respond to this. But they weren't caught off guard. Okay.
    (0:16:36)
  • Unknown E
    Sources say that or did the Cabinet secretary say that?
    (0:16:42)
  • Unknown D
    The Cabinet secretaries and others have said that they were not aware that this was happening. So I'm wondering, will there be a give and take?
    (0:16:44)
  • Unknown B
    If I just keep saying it, it will become the truth.
    (0:16:51)
  • Unknown D
    Tomorrow at the Cabinet meeting, is Elon Musk or the president open to any type of dialogue about who is actually in charge of the chain of command?
    (0:16:55)
  • Unknown B
    This guy's never getting invited back these orders.
    (0:17:01)
  • Unknown E
    I would reject the premise of your question, Jeff. The Cabinet secretaries have not said that. I know anonymous sources, probably career bureaucrats have leaked that many of you.
    (0:17:03)
  • Unknown B
    Career bureau, not the bureaucrats.
    (0:17:08)
  • Unknown E
    But as I said at the beginning of this press conference, everybody is working as one team. And the president respects the decisions of his Cabinet secretaries. To tell his staff, their staff, not to respond to that email because they did so out of interest of national security. And they don't want to obviously risk confidential information. It's pretty common sense. Dasha Musk has obviously been doing a lot of work. He's been working every day and a lot of the time weekends. He is designated as a special government employee, which means that he can only work 130 days per year. Is the White House expecting him to limit his work to 130 days or going to work around those rules? Do you want to see him extend beyond the 100? So today is February 25th. So I think we've been.
    (0:17:11)
  • Unknown B
    Why is she so combative? Because we're doing this is basically like North Korean propaganda. You can ask questions to make them look good or questions for them to talk about stuff that makes them look good. You, if you ask any critical question, it's always going to be rejected as either propaganda or a lie or she'll reject the premise or whatever. This is just for basically these are like mini rallies for Trump. That's what this whole thing is supposed to be.
    (0:17:41)
  • Unknown E
    That's all it's for here, about 35 days roughly. So ask me in another 100 days. Daniel.
    (0:18:01)
  • Unknown B
    Caroline, thank you. You opened up with a major announcement from Apple. $500 billion, 20,000 jobs doubling and advanced manufacturing funds. What does that signal that such a global brand would make what it called its largest ever spend commitment just a month into President Trump's second term, what does that signal about his economic vision for the country?
    (0:18:07)
  • Unknown E
    Ms. President Trump is a dealmaker. And he has restored confidence in business leaders around this entire world. Apple is one of the largest companies on the face of the planet. They employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. But the President wants to see more Americans employed, more investments here in the United States of America. And this is another fulfillment of the President's campaign promises. I recall President Trump at his rallies on the campaign telling the world that if and when I am elected, America is going to be back. And we want your investments to be driven onshore. We want you to hire American workers, and you will have the lowest regulatory burden, the lowest tax cuts. And the President has already proven he's committed to slashing regulation. He's counting on Congress to implement those tax cuts. And so people are encouraged by the President's again, as Tim Cook called it, they're bullish about American innovation because of the leadership of this president.
    (0:18:20)
  • Unknown E
    And that's a stark contrast to the leadership of the previous administration, Joe Biden, who I don't think spent any time trying to recruit any investments or jobs here at home.
    (0:18:57)
  • Unknown B
    Mary, what was the CHIPS Act? What was the Infrastructure bill? What was the Inflation Reduction Act? None of these things were. Okay, okay.
    (0:19:03)
  • Unknown E
    Can you tell us who the administrator DOGE is? Again, I've been asked to answer this question. Elon Musk is overseeing doge. There are career. There are no. Elon Musk is a special government employee, which I've also been asked and have answered that question as well. There are career officials at doge. There are political appointees at doge. I'm not going to reveal the name of that individual from this podium. I'm happy to follow up and provide that to you. But we've been incredibly transparent about the way that DOGE is working.
    (0:19:13)
  • Unknown B
    So transparent that we can't even know the administrator we now know. But geez, John, do you agree that the first Democrat president after Trump should go ultra revenge mode and fuck over all these Trump dick writers in any way they can for any illegal actions they're committed. Yeah, they need to throw the work out. We have to get past this. Like, oh, we don't want to be divisive shit. Like, if you do a bad thing, there should be a consequence. That's what discourages people from doing bad things. So absolutely, if there were laws broken, if there were things that they weren't allowed to do that they did, they should. Absolutely. I like tomorrow the Trump admin should be held or I don't even know who would be charged with this, but should be held in contempt if they don't cooperate with that follow up to the restraining order showing how they've taken steps to unfreeze funds after basically being held unaccountable to the court's TRO for some 13, 14 days now.
    (0:19:32)
  • Unknown F
    Yeah. So look, let me clarify what we're talking about with Medicaid. Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of.
    (0:20:19)
  • Unknown B
    Lake and Riley, man. They're getting a lot of mileage out of this dead girl. Jesus.
    (0:20:28)
  • Unknown F
    Fraud, waste and abuse. Everybody knows that. We all know it intuitively. No one in here would disagree. We had a hearing in budget just last week or week before last, and they asked the experts and the estimate is I think it's $50 billion a year.
    (0:20:32)
  • Unknown B
    The experts? Who the are the experts? What?
    (0:20:47)
  • Unknown F
    Because it has a lot of fraud, waste and abuse.
    (0:20:52)
  • Unknown B
    Everybody knows that, remember, and we've seen so far. Right. When they say fraud, waste and abuse, they mean program we don't like. Because remember, up to this point, Doge has proven and even cited evidence for exactly zero examples of fraud, waste and abuse. Not a single example. Wait. God, I hate these people.
    (0:20:54)
  • Unknown F
    Let me clarify what we're talking about with Medicaid. Medicaid is. Is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste and abuse. Everybody knows that. We all know it intuitively. No one in here would disagree. We had a hearing in budget just last week and. Or week or less and they asked the experts and the estimate is, I think it's $50 billion a year in fraud alone in Medicaid. Those are precious taxpayer dollars. Everybody is committed to preserving Medicare benefits for those who desperately need it and deserve it and qualify for.
    (0:21:14)
  • Unknown B
    Wait, wait, wait. Medicare, Medicaid. Is he just using these interchangeably or.
    (0:21:47)
  • Unknown F
    Precious taxpayer dollars, Everybody. A billion dollars a year or week. Four last. And they ask the experts, and the estimate is. I think it shows that we all know it intuitively. No one in here.
    (0:21:51)
  • Unknown B
    Wait, Sorry.
    (0:22:02)
  • Unknown F
    Hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud. Let me clarify what we're talking about with Medicaid. Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste and abuse. Everybody knows that. We all know it intuitively. No one in here would disagree.
    (0:22:04)
  • Unknown B
    We just know that intuitively. Of course. Let's just presuppose that we had a.
    (0:22:18)
  • Unknown F
    Hearing in budget just last week or week before last and they asked the experts and the estimate is, I think it's $50 billion a year in fraud alone in Medicaid. Those are precious taxpayer dollars. Everybody is committed to preserving Medicare benefits for those who desperately need it and deserve it and qualify for it. What we're talking about is rooting out the fraud, waste and abuse. Every taxpayer. It doesn't matter what party you're in, you should be for that because it saves your money and it preserves the programs so that it is available for the people who desperately need it. That's what we're about.
    (0:22:22)
  • Unknown B
    And still no examples. The media should just say over and over again, prove it. Prove it. Where's the proof? Show proof, show proof. Where is the proof of this? Oh, good Claire, not evil Claire. Good Claire says, have we the people actually been shown the proof of all this waste and fraud? He and other Rs say that same talking point and say we all know, but we don't know. Why isn't the press asking for the proof True. Also I already know what the all of these replies to her gonna be like, you idiot, haven't you seen their Twitter account? Okay, or it'll be actual schizos. Let all in creation call Yahweh the author of Confusion.

    That's all water they could have had. I went to the governor during my first term and I said, why don't you do this? And they said, environmental. They have an environmental problem with clean water. If this water were there, you wouldn't have had those fires. You had sprinklers. They make people put sprinklers in the ceiling of a home and they had no water in them. With this, they would have had a lot of water in them. They would have all been full. They would have had a You would have had a whole different deal down there. You probably wouldn't have had a fire. But if it was, it would have been small, would have been put out. You had the fire hydrants not working in California. So it's a beautiful sight. These are canals that were built. These were all built and you saw them for years.

    That's not a real quote. And I can't believe this guy, who's normally a good tweeter, I can't believe he would actually put that in the tweet. There's no way that Trump actually says this. He must be. He's absolutely disingenuously quoting Trump here.

    I think they can afford. I think they can afford $5 million. Now, a lot of people that want to be eligible, a lot of people are going to want to be in this country and they'll be able to work and provide jobs and build companies and pay taxes, all of those things. It's an incredible. It's an incredible thing. I mean, this is the group that is the first to hear it. Nobody's heard about it. Nobody ever thought about it. But we've been thinking about it very, very strongly over the last week. And I was going to announce it sometime next week, and I figured, why not? We have a lot of cameras blazing right now.

    You know, today, Representative Thomas Massie, who is a budget hawk, who walks around with the debt clock, which by the way, I bought it's $99 on his website, on a website, talked about today that the Republican budget, if the Republican budget passes, the budget deficit doesn't get better, it gets worse. And then Elon Musk commented and he said, that sounds bad. Boy, that is awkward. I mean, you know how much we hate it when you guys fight amongst each other. And, you know, so that wasn't enough. Right? Then Representative Massie went to the meeting, the Republican meeting where the budget was being discussed, and he came out and he said, you know what? They convinced me? They convinced me that he's a no. And the reason he's a no is he said, over the next three years, it's going to add almost a trillion dollars to the debt.

    And he said, and that's in the most best case, the most rosy scenario. And then he said, that's a lie, man. You know, so this clock that we have that has the debt, you know, it's still going up. Doge has not yet reversed it. And I say that as a member of the Doge Caucus who wants to shrink the size of government and cut spending. But this 36, instead of your budget making it a 35, it's going to make it a 36. 7. We're going to go to $37 trillion in debt. And so look, if you pass this today, this idea about Doge or the Republicans being fiscal hawks or wanting to cut spending is no longer reality. I yield back. Thank you, members.

    But the consumer, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, they sue companies who, like, commit fraud against their customers. They've returned $22 billion directly back into the hands of Americans who have been frauded by American companies. And do they want to axe them.
    (0:29:00)
  • Unknown H
    Or do they just want to audit them?
    (0:29:19)
  • Unknown I
    They want to get rid of them altogether. Elon, he tweeted out, RIP cf.
    (0:29:21)
  • Unknown B
    Wait, was the CF Consumer Protection cpfb? Were those the people who got the. Who caught Wells Fargo, like, opening up account accounts for people? Basically. Was that. Was that that part of government? Yeah. They're nice. Okay. Cheers.

    Fpv. Like, he wants it gone. You say, like, what happened? I thought the left was, like, I thought the left were all about questioning big business. Well, this is like the perfect representation. The CFPB exists to serve the American people. In the case that they are frauded, they're they're. That a fraud is committed against them by major American companies. And again, they have a proven track record. They have returned $22 billion directly into the hands of American consumers that have been frauded by schools, by companies, et cetera, et cetera. They are. Would you want to get rid of that kind of a. That kind of an agency?

    Remember the strategy I said all you have to do is just, you never know anything about any of the bad stuff and you know everything about anything else. Like, that's it. Just, oh, I've never heard of that. Oh, I don't know about that. J6. I don't know. Electric sites. I never heard of it. Cfpb. I don't know about that. Crazy Trump tweets or, you know, taking away citizenship for burning the American. I don't. I haven't seen any of that. Kushner, Saudi Arabia, 2 billion. I don't know anything about that. Oh, no, no, I don't know. Sorry. Anyway, so Hunter Biden and crack and the laptop story, like, oh, okay, gotcha.

    And I know this is going to tick off everybody, but, I mean, Elon Musk is the most transformative person of this century, is the. He's the richest man on the planet. He's literally doing things for mankind that nobody wants to acknowledge anymore. He endorsed Donald Trump, but, you know, if he, if he thinks something is fishy with a certain agency, you know, I tend to believe him. Like, I tend to believe that there's going to be some type of fraud really related to these agencies.
