D.O.G.E. Update With Elon Musk! The Government Is A Real Mess!

James Kaufman news report today, February 11th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to do a quick Doge update starring Elon Musk. We're going to try to go over some of the problems, additional problems, they're incurring. It's gotten to be ridiculous. The swamp is so very deep. So the, at a high level, you say what is the goal of DOGE or, and I think a significant part of the presidency is to restore democracy. That's what I'm saying, it's not a goal. Are we in a democracy? Well, if you don't have a feedback loop at the end, we're not going to, if you, sorry. Sorry. So the gravitas can be difficult sometimes. So if there's not a good feedback loop from the people to the government, and if you have rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have? If the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives in the form of the president and the Senate and the House, Then we don't live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy. So it's incredibly important that we close that feedback loop, we fix that feedback loop, and that the public, the public's elected representatives, the President, the House, the Senate, decide what happens, as opposed to a large, unelected bureaucracy. This is not to say that there aren't good people who are in the federal bureaucracy, but But you can't have an autonomous federal bureaucracy. You have to have one that's responsive to the people. That's the whole point of a democracy. And so if you asked the founders today and said, what do you think of the way things have turned out? Well, we have this unelected fourth unconstitutional branch of government, which is the bureaucracy, which has, in a lot of ways, currently more power than any elected representative. And this was... There's not something that people want and it's not, it does not match the will of people so it's just something we've got to, we're going to fix and they're also going to address the deficit so we've got a two trillion dollar deficit and if this if we don't do something about this deficit the country's going bankrupt. I mean it's, it's really astounding that the uh the interest payments alone on national debt exceed the defense department budget. Shocking, because we spend a lot of money on defense, and if that just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country. So what I'm really going to say is that it's not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses, it's essential. It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country, and it's essential for America to have the resources necessary to provide things to its citizens, and not simply be servicing vast amounts of debt. And who he's referring to, obviously, Are these liberal judges that continue to get in the way of the will of the people ridiculous? Now, here we'll find out that Doge has taken a quick look, a quick look at Social Security and found out that there's lots and lots of people that are over 150 years old still collecting Social Security from our government. Do you all find or see a problem with that? No one's ever lived that long. I guess they should all be really famous, as in the Guinness Book of World Records. They're all over 150 years old. This is how bad the government has gotten. Everywhere you look, there's just tons and tons of waste, while our whole country falls apart. And the Democrats don't want to do anything about it. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be a Democrat ever again. Next, Doge wants to talk about a bunch of bureaucrats that make $130,000 a year, but somehow leave government with millions and millions of dollars. How do they make this money? Well, it's got to be coming from, guess who? You. Oh What? Well, we do find it sort of rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few people in And we're actually here to accrue, ostensibly, a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position, which is what happened to USAID. We're just curious as to where it came from. Maybe they're very good at investing. In which case, we should take their investment advice, perhaps. Thank you very much. But it just seems to me mysteriously they get wealthy. And we're going to lie. Where's the trouble? No problem. And I think the reality is that they're getting wealthier to test their expense. That's the honest truth of it. So, you know, we're looking at, say... How do we fix that? Just another problem, right? Everything seems to be a problem. It continues. Now, pay attention to this. We have millions of governmental employees, but only 10,000 a month can retire. Because everything's done by hand and held in a limestone mine, which I will show y'all. Ridiculous. It's done the same way it was done in 1920. The most number of people that could retire possibly in a month is 10,000. We're like, whoa, why is that? Well, because all the retirement paperwork is manual on paper. It's manually calculated. They're written down on a piece of paper. Then it goes down a mine. They're like, what do you mean a mine? Like, yeah, there's a limestone mine. We restore all the retirement paperwork. And you look at a picture of this mine, we'll post some pictures afterwards, and this mine looks like something out of the 50s, because it was started in 1955, so it looks like it's like a time warp, and then the speed, the limiting factor is the speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move, determines how many people can retire from the federal government. And the elevator breaks down sometimes, and then you can't really retire. Doesn't that sound crazy? There's like a thousand people that work on this. So I think if we take those people and say, you know what, instead of working in a mine shop and carrying mailing envelopes to boxes in a mine shop, you could do practically anything else, and you would add it to the goods and services of the United States. All right, what we've got to do is look at the mine and imagine how many years it would take To get everyone, to get everyone to retire from the U.S. government, it would take 20 or 30 years if only 10,000 a month can retire, right? And here's all this very important paperwork here, folks, a mine in Pennsylvania. Only 10,000 applications per month can be processed because it's all done by hand with one elevator. This is a joke. They sure can hire them quickly, can't they? And according to all the hard left-leaning liberals, Elon Musk is causing a constitutional crisis by subverting Congress and the funds it specifically appropriated. Well, most of Congress doesn't know what they voted for. And I think if we polled each one of them individually, they'd want to roll back these programs as well. Musk is not a forensic accountant, but anyone can do accounting, right? His team doesn't have sufficient security checks. Well, that can be done in about an hour. Let's listen to what a liberal has to say. What's Elon Musk going to do with social security numbers or anything else? Well, I think there are two issues at play. The constitutional crisis here is that Congress has been subverted. So these are congressionally appropriated dollars. And we've seen this over and over again in the federal judges that have ruled on this. They're not saying that there aren't programs that don't deserve to be asked. They're saying that these aren't dollars that the executive can decide what to do with. There's a process to go through. Um, the... Accountability front, yeah, we have a government accountability office. We also have a big spending database where you can go in and you see where the dollars are going, and make sure we have conversations about programs that have got to go. But Elon Musk, he's not a forensic accountant. He's a scientist and one of the most brilliant people to have ever lived, for sure. But he has a number of minions who have not passed the same level of security checks that they should have. In order to have access to that information, and I don't know what they're going to do with their social security number or what they're going to do with Head Start or Medicaid or Medicare or anything else that they have access to, but the point is that they shouldn't. And you see that the big one from over the weekend was the freeze on the NIH funding. So I understand that there might be some overhead costs, the quote unquote indirect costs that you think are too high, but going to them and saying that indirect costs have to come down to 15%. Would completely hobble American innovation. But without Elon Musk, we wouldn't know if any of this stuff would be going for transgenders. But I just said the NIH, I said the Future of Cancer Research, for every dollar that the NIH grants out, you get $2.46. And don't worry about that ruling as far as getting overhead down to 15% because a judge has swiped it again, i.e. these judges have gone insane and are running a coup against the people of America. Who voted for this mandate? Period. God bless you guys. This has gotten so ridiculous. Nothing's getting done as usual.
