Whoever is against auditing our government agencies is worth auditing.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🏼
Sure. AFTER he is done.
100%
Amen!
Bots and Democults
I'm 73 and have worked since I was 15 years old. This is OUR money that we worked hard for and was taken from us all our lives. Our money TAKEN and thrown away. We all have been viscously robbed.
I wholly agree my American friend.
God bless you. We deserve better taxied over 50% is not working
Sir.. I am 51.. from Canada.. It's the same here too.. I felt robbed.. sold all my properties and am not going to pay a single cent tax. Bunch of woke LGBT and controlled by women.. it's a mess every where..
I absolutely agree!!!
Ripped off American citizens 😡 😠 😤 🤬
We’re all going to learn more in the next six months about our government than we’ve learned all our lives. This is historic.
Everybody thought 2024 was going to be the year...turns out it was just a warm up 😂
Hopefully people get mad enough to force change.
We have the most corrupt Gov. in the world
@@Space.Ghost. If we get any madder it's going to get violent, and we don't want that!
I have already learned more than i ever knew about our government!!!
Whoever is protesting against the audit should be audited. Great talk which is deserved to be shared!!
100% right!
Meanwhile North Carolina citizens were left living in tents with no water, heat, and electricity. Gross negligence.
Because they were going to vote R. Only Ds get federal tax money as we just found out.
Just absolutely heartbreaking for our American Citizens to be reduced to..
Hawaii
It tells you all you need to know about the CIA and the worthless pols who support this fraud and the USAID grift!
People like Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the people trying to defend the fraud. They export debauchery to other nations....what a grift. "USAID" is the ruse!
Conscious malice.
Pure evil.
Release the entire budget to the public! Americans deserve to be able to see it!
And then get rid of all that frivolous spending!
America First USA!
They won't do that. One man is telling you what he found without the other group involvement. How do you know if the "find" is a lie or doctored?
@@AkinAkinsanya LOL cmon...everyone knows its a scam, some just dont want to admit it. The government has been stealing from the US for years and years
The world too
Holy hell... As a US taxpayer, I'm PISSED to find out that my money has been going to this crap. Just imagine the good we could have done if we kept even 75% of that money in-house. Our homeless epidemic could basically be solved. Our veterans and their families could literally be taken care of for the rest of their lives.
The disasters that can't be paid for and people looked after...
Most of those programs they're paying off is just a cover to feed pockets. I bet if they audit those who approved the usaid funds and the receivers, we'd find where the money really went.
They work for themselves, but things are changing, I don’t think most people even realize the wasteful spending, that is in play. Half of what they tell the people never really happens, but they launder that money take a share, for making it appear. Pay for play, happens everywhere. Slush funds hiding everywhere, follow the money it will lead to financial freedom. SS and Medicare take a big rap, but they used those funds, they control the prices, to hide behind the lie.
They pack those bills, with all kinds of crap, make it so, the people voting can’t even read them, because of limited time. In order to get the important issues past they end up having to agree, to a bunch of garbage.
Are you actually shocked? When a politician who earns $150,000 a year owns 3 mansions worth 15 million total, you knew the money was going to them through these programs they don’t care about. Money laundering of our tax dollars. They programs are just shell companies that do a little good for causes but I guarantee you only 10% of those funds go to the day to day operations of those businesses and programs
Thankyou Mr. KENNEDY YOUR IN MY PRAYERS! THANKYOU FOR BEINg ON THE SIDE THATS WE THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE YOUR A GOOD MAN KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT.
WE WANT A REFUND
AMEN 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
💯🏆
Yeah the American people want a refund!!!
Where are we going to get the refound? I don’t think so.
@@mccarthy4266hmmm… I wonder how the money is made.
Some people should go to jail for all this... it's simply disgusting.
It is called insurrection!
An attempted non-violent coup.
yeah funny he voted for every year. Just a show. dont fool your self
Yes, agree, and their bank accounts need to be scrutinized thoroughly too.
And by some you mean many
It's amazing that they were spending tax payer dollars on indoctrinating gutter ideology in foreign countries, on DEI, twisted gender ideology and other nefarious things. They didn't expect Trump to win, and in my opinion it now it seems pretty obvious why the Democrats and the media were so desperate to stop him winning by almost any means necessary.
But they expect our elderly to live off 900 bucks a month. Half are living in their cars. I'm so pissed off
👍
Shame on the guilty parties here!!!!!!
Absolutely 😢
Yes! I am a Certified Dementia Practitioner and I serve the elderly population. It is ridiculous what they face.
That’s the half we know about.
I love This Senator!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hats off to Forbes for providing live raw unedited videos.
true! very refreshing
THE TRANSPARENCY WE NEEDED BUT WAS LACKING FOR OBAMA’S THIRD TERM (2020-2024)!!!!!
Funny how people will believe an unedited video even if it's full of lies.
Thank you, Forbes, for allowing this to play in its entirety! I may just watch your channel again if you keep showing the truth of President Trumps plans!

So...where are the lies?
Every time I see Sen. John Kennedy I gotta hit that play button. He’s the man!

Trump is the only office holder in DC that has lost money while serving.@@sharonjohnsonjohnson6809
I LOVE that we're getting to hear and see all this! What an incredible age we live in. Audit, audit, audit! 🎉
💯
Whoever is protesting auditing government spending needs to be first in line to be audited.
That’s not what they are protesting so either you’re spinning it to make your amusing little point for others to like it or you’re ignorant.
Maybe we should start the audit but cutting off the gravy train that Elon Musk has been getting from the government.
@monicapatton1405 what are they they against then?
@@user-pn8ke3kf5f sounds like a diversionary comment - good try..... Let the audit continue!!
@@user-pn8ke3kf5fI’d say compared to all this junk, the money spent on Elon is well worth it.

He should run. I think he could win anyways. He s so popular. Millions of views. 48 in 2028. John Kennedy😁
Oh yeah, he flat kicks ass.
I love him ! God bless him
He's one of a kind! A gem among the rubble!
Yes very smart man with a lot of common sense
Those bastards had the nerve to say FEMA was out of money! This pisses me so bad! People in North Carolina would still be alive right now if they had gotten that money to begin with!

'Affected', 'losing'.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.. we're only on week 3. Truth is the light
Yes, the fall into fascism is only in the beginning stages. But the leopards will have many more faces to eat very shortly.

Bro kennedy's name is on some of the bills that allowed this frivilous spending. 🤣🤣
@@robsp32 THANK YOU!!!! 👏👏👏👏 People in these comments gushing over him are just not thinking at all!
They snuck a lot of the stuff in those last minute five thousand page bills.
Bless them BOTH. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
@robsp32 Please tell me in your infinite wisdom which bill has Senetor Kennedys name on it. I think you need more education on how the government actually works. US Aid is not a bill. It's an agency funded by the government. Funding does come from an appropriations, bill, but that appropriations, bill does not spell out line by line what that agency spends its money on. And if you've been paying attention to what Secretary Rubio has been saying all week about the agency you wouldn't have made that comment. The agency is acting like they are independent from government and can spend money anyway it sees fit. Thanks to Trump and Musk we are all learning what been going on and when Musk is finished and President Trump fixes our Government, Americans will never vote for the status quo again
"Common sense is illegal in Washington"
Washington D.C. is full of outright theft and graft. Look at the democrats as a prime example of this fact. 👊🇺🇸🧂

That is the most succinct way of stating one of the absolute biggest problems with Washington DC.
True corruption. People should be found accountable!!!!!
Right!? Why are left wing bots so angry at accountability!? There’s a reason for that…

It sure looks like corruption to me! 🤢
80% of that money gets stolen, pockets get lined

For the first time in my life, I'm getting exactly what I voted for. And it. Is. Awesome.

And most of all, God bless all of us who's lives have been harmed or ruined by the legal and moral failures of our nations leaders
In about a year you will wish you had another government but you won’t be able to change it. It’s the path many countries have gone through. Be warned.
@@charsarsis amazing what the right man with the right plan can do!
YEOW!!! 👏
I feel the same, but I'll be honest, it caught me off guard, and it's a little worrisome because of the reaction. I'm convinced registered democrats also get kickbacks 🤣🤣 the only reasonable explanation for their behavior.
Sen. John Kennedy is a National Treasure. Thank you for your common sense, clarity and service!! So grateful for you.
He's one of the few that I would tune in to listen to that would really pay attention and sometimes be entertained by. You never know what it's going to come out of his mouth next with a sense of humor.
I would love him to be president next.
Yes he is.
I just love him! He’s a true patriot!

Now I know AlCapone is just a 10-cent bribery!!
The irs would have us arrested for such a feat. But who's watching the irs money? Broken system, they should be charged for the same , thats exactly what it is, money laundering
Wow, this makes me sick to my stomach hearing about all the ludicrous wasteful spending!!!!!
Kennedy is idiotic . they would need months of careful examination to actually know anything .. Musks boys have only just acquired access to anything . There should be a court investigation to assess if they could do this at all. . Meanwhile all of Bidens good work is crashing . the stock market diving and there will be an uprising against a predsident hiring incompetents in the gov. aSomeone who cannot express one coherent sentence due to his brain fog .
Then watch them scream about impeaching the person who is cleaning out the fraud this makes me ill to know these bums are in office still !
Me too❤ Imagine how many people could have been rescued from homelessness, and helped elderly, along with making our nest eggs grow exponentially!! I could've retired at 30!!!
Laundering money back to themselves and and other criminals they are doing business with
You believe this report? I don't. It all sounds made up to me.
How can they not be charged with misappropriation of funds?! There's no accountability!
Great idea
Preemptive pardons lol
@@MrSinister718it's okay they can still be investigated.
They ain’t done yet 😂

He is an honest person and is for America.
He has shown that it is far too easy for organized crime to take over government circles.

What I appreciate most about Sen. Kennedy is that he speaks the truth, no matter who it offends…He calls it like he sees it!
He lies
@@ViejoGringoSo do you
I need to see more works from him. He's nice, and hilarious, but we need more action.
What lie? He doesn’t lie. He just sticks to the facts and shares his opinion as you just saw above if you cared enough to listen. Facts only offend the emotions of the people that want to believe the lies of their favored liars, but that’s not healthy. Humble to the truth, it will set you free, most liberals are made miserable by what they choose to cling to including actual lies.

According to your Constitution, Congress controls spending, but you're just cheering on the fact that Trump has torn up the Constitution. It's kinda weird watching people cheer on their country's demise and fall into fascism, but you guys do you!

Thank you President Trump. Give the credit to who got it done.
Thank you, Mr MUSK .
Democrats benefited from it all. Be it in kick-backs or skimming in some way.

Here in Massachusetts, during the 2024 November Elections, we vote YES for a law to Audit where our Massachusetts Tax Dollars are being spent. Our legislators here in Massachusetts are refusing to comply with that new State Audit LAW! Democrats are nothing but bunch of liars, snakes and crooks!
Hes the best thing to come out of Washington. 👌❤️
Amen
I hope Kennedy will make sure Soros is investigated.
Show them all!!
The PEOPLE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY ! For IRRESPONSIBLE spending !!!
It's your
Legislator who did it
I THINK IT IS GOOD THAT ELON FOUND THESE, BUT I ALSO THINK IT IS BEST THAT HE HAVE THE ABILITY TO READ WHAT IS THERE AND NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THOSE EXPENDITURES ARE DETERMINED TO BE NO LONGER NEEDED. ELON SHOULD NOT HAVE CARTE BLANC IN MAKING ANY DETERMINATIONS ON HIS OWN. ONE OF THE SENATORS STATED THAT THERE WERE EXPENDITURES ON THERE THAT WERE UNDER FALSE NAMES AND CODES, BECAUSE WHAT THE MONEY WAS FOR WAS SOMETHING SO TOP SECRET THAT IT COULD ENDANGER OUR COUNTRY AND ALL OF US LIVING IN IT! WHICH IS VERY SCARY TO HEAR!
I’m a Canadian and I’m pissed over the corruption in your country. We got the same corruption with our Liberals too. Senator Kennedy is one of your greatest people, bless him!
Totally agree. Another Canadian , the Liberals can’t be gone fast enough. So corrupt.
Canadian here too, Love Mr. Kennedy, COMMON SENSE
As are we of the corruption in yours!!! I hope we get our corruption out and help get yours out. Or absorb Canada and let it still be Canada but with our rights and the best parts of our systems which isn’t much but there are pros and cons to both! We’re with you Canada! Whatever you guys want! We know you all are tired of the left and fake conservatives stealing your money and land while taxing you out of it all!

Not entirely on your own. I'm willing to bet Canada helped a fair bit too.
That’s an absolute epic comment!

Edit p.s Forbes y'all Killin it !❤
This is why when you have a 5000 page spending bill, you shut the government down and go through it line by line....
🤯 Exactly 😡
And that’s why Trump promised he would do this. Do you know that the US will be the richest country in the world again after this? This is all coming from the Democrats. It probably began with Obama.

Names WILL COME OUT soon😮😮😮
They're all getting kickbacks!!!
Many Senators have requested information in the past regarding our expenditures they were either blown off or threatened 😡 Joni Ernst was one! Listen to ELon, Joni and Vivek speak on X was several nights ago. Many great podcasters have been discussing this for weeks. We AMERICANS should be pissed we work hard and they steal from us!

interested in finding out how the rich will get their tax cut again while you pay more
About time 🧐
It's about time that someone looked at the spending and reported it honestly to the American people. Thank you, President Trump and Mr. Musk. God bless you!
Lol the US budget has been available online for a long time. There's no secret. We spend most of our money on social security, Medicare, Medicaid, military/VA, and interest. Everything else is basically a rounding error. If you are serious about cutting spending, it will require hurting elderly Americans and veterans who rely on government money.
Do u know what a budget i
@@i_like_beer-o2f Not the high-level, summary budget lines but how are those amounts budgeted to Medicare spent? Medicare is next on Elon's audit list so we will soon find out. It's not enough to say "Medicare, Medicaid, military/VA" - how are those programs spending the money budgeted to them?
Need business minded humans to clean up! Exciting times🎉
@@adw802 whatever amount of waste and fraud exists in those programs is negligible. The simple fact of the matter is that the US has a massive population of baby boomers that are now retired and collecting those benefits.

Me too
I started working when I was 14. I feel exactly the same way. I'm retired now and trying to scrape by and they even tax my social security probably to pay for this garbage.
you'll need to work harder for the billions of subsidies to keep going to elon musk
Subsidized by President Biden and their Green New Deal... Eventually, he will cut HIS OWN SUBSIDIARY... BECAUSE HES A REAL AMERICAN WHO CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE... @scythez9
Those subsidies were put in by BIDEN...
We PAY 10,000 people! to give! away! Our Taxes !? Millions! maybe! Billions! And Not To even one American citizen!! ?? Grrrrrrrrr. 😡
And pay them over a 100k each a year
I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if some of it got funneled back to Democrats. Greatest money laundering scam ever! 😡
❤❤❤.
@@bluebirdgramma6317 It goes to the LOBBYISTS
It's insane
Excellent speech
Regardless of left or right, he's absolutely right. This could be a pivotal moment in US history where the American people are united and empowered after suffering from a common foe: the government.
Wishful thinking I'm afraid. To the left, this is somehow money well spent. It wouldn't have been spent in the first place if they didn't believe it was in our (their) best interest to spread this brainwashing to every corner of the globe they saw fit.
It could be pivotal if and only if conservatives with common sense don't go back to sleep.
PEACE AND SECURITY!
Ask Clinton, Obama, Biden, in his first administration Trump wanted to do this,
but he did not have support, now he has everything in his favor that is why the democrats did everything possible to prevent him from winning
I. WANT. TOOO. HEAR. MORE. 🌞
I work a regualr job and "had" to take my Social Security as of last May. I am only 1 US American Citizen/Taxpayer but I am standing behind what Senator John Kennedy is saying loud and clear.
Amen.
Yes, he's a blessing to the American people. We need more like him.
Wow!!! This needs to go 100 times more viral!!!
Politico isn’t running this story that’s for sure .
I'm not even American and i'm pissed about this because I know the same probably happens with my government.
People need to be in jail for this reckless spending. It's one thing to give a country money to help them grow crops or increase their fresh water reserves, it's another thing to give them money for sex change operations.
People need to be held accountable !
But they won’t be, they will retire with their full pension
Never gonna happen….
We've suffered enough and want some hide, they gotta pay for what has been stolen from us...our money.
I don't think so this time. Get the popcorn and refreshments ready, this is going to be good....Live entertainment 😂.
I understand the Naysayers' on this, but I'm quite sure Elon's team can identify the people that were the deciding signature or verbal approval to waste our tax money. Find that out and at least put them on blast for the Taxpayers to see.
Thank you Mr. Kennedy! We appreciate you working for the people.
Kennedy has been in Washington for years. Why didn't he solve these problems in the last 8 years? Kennedy needs to go.
@marklen2322 I agree. He has had a lot of chances to do they right thing and didn't.
@@marklen2322so you keep saying 😂😂😂🤡
Money should be going to Americans and vets and our elderly… America first ..
It does but we also have a national interest to explore space . And currently, the most innovative and efficient at that is SpaceX. We contract SpaceX because they’re better than anything the government can run
@@gregorygordon3346 Are you saying space exploration is more important than the elderly, disabled and our disabled vets?
@@gregorygordon3346….Ok and? Do you feel that should come before or after the 52 million going to a new Sesame Street show in Iraq?? Not sure what you’re trying to even say.
Too bad we elected a Republican president, who will never ever ever propose any social programs for our people.
@KOSPman And why should he? He doesn't care about us, he only wanted our votes! (He didn't get money though!)
How was it that the gov never got audited. Americans should know exactly where every some is sent.
Damn. This is far better than any “news” report I’ve ever seen.
Better than a fiction movie too lol
Kennedy is the best. :)
Elon Musk doesn't have to answer to Congress, They are the ones being audited.
They need to answer to him for 50 years of mismanagement!
😅😅😅😅😅true
Because the news is 95% democratic owned. They will never report the truth.
I love you Mr. KENNEDY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING FOR THE PEOPLE IF THE UNITED STATES!!
You love and worship rich politicians
Yes!!
Not only is he 100% Correct . . . but also I Fall on the Floor laughing when I listen to Senator Kennedy . . . 😺😺😺
@@Walker983 You love and worship rich politicians
He's actually only been in the Senate for 8 years. Before that he was writing the bar exam and a law professor who worked his family's farm which has been in his family for generations. So what they are worshipping is a highly intelligent and humble man who got into politics to protect the people of our great state and make sure we didn't get left out of the millions we needed to repair our wetlands which were destroyed when the oil companies drug all through the marsh with machines and rigs so that you would have gasoline and energy. We were getting left out of the conversation and he wasn't going to sit there and let that happen. Get your fucking facts straight before you go trolling. Louisiana is proud of our great Senator
Let’s take it a step further and find out where the money is ACTUALLY going, not just where the ledger or payments say that it’s going. Who is actually on the receiving end and who sponsored or approved such payments and hold them ACCOUNTABLE!
Exactly, it doesn't take 20 mill$ to do a cartoon in the desert.
You ask this question 🙋 as if the answer isn't abundantly clear?
AND WHO APPROVED (CUT DA CHECK)....thats who im gone sue for TAXATION WITHOUT REPENTATION...THIEFT
I absolutely agree! The records say that is where our money went, but it may have actually ended up in someone's pocketbook!
Yes, who facilitated the approvals. Do they not have a conscience? The squirming will have started.
It’s also a good question, did any of the projects we funded actually get completed or bare any ROI?
Whoever is in charge of Forbes' TouTube channel posts deserves a raise.
This is going to be one hell of a chapter in future history books
This is why they tried to keep TRUMP from becoming President at all costs.Impeachment,fines,put in jail, or killed
This is why we need voter identification and term limits,our government is too corrupt!
Man! What a book!!
If someone reads it ya. 😊
They will not include it
Every American needs to watch this.
This Senator has been in Congress since 2017, that’s 8 years. And in all these years he never thought of looking into what USAID did. Now he seems outraged. I think his constituency should fire him. Mr. Musk certainly would if he was his employee.
not really it's just more BS
SHARE SHARE SHARE!!
Anyone who thinks Musk or his crowd of young 20 year olds is a "crackerjack team" shouldn't be taken seriously. Audits are done by professional accountants. Plenty of firms out there are qualified to do this.
Unfortunately, they won't. They prefer to just believe whatever the mainstream media lying activists spoon feed them. And the people with the strongest hatred for Trump and Musk won't listen to it even if you send it to them
We need this break down in Australia too. So much wasted 😢😢😢.
Love this man!
Was going to say exactly the same
He is a wonderful orator. Just love his use of words.
Omg he’s a blessing,,❤
Everyone does
Senator John Kennedy is the People's Senator...wish there were more like him.
EXACTLY!!
💯💯💯
Amen.😊
ABSOLUTELY‼️
There is Rand Paul, Ron Johnson.....there are others.
Is every senator or house member involved in all of this frivolous spending should be held accountable and removed from office immediately!
True
So that would be everyone
@@cpesq.5884 sad to say probably so.
BOTH SIDES
There’s a bunch and they are on both sides of the isle .
Just my opinion but I think if you look at the ones who were adamant about sending billions to Ukraine over and over , I’d bet my house that those are at least some that are on the take .
This is very enlightening. I wonder how bad this problem is in Canada, too bad we will probably never find out.
Fight for your country! Canada can do it!
You to can become a hermit kingdom.
On a positive note, I love how open everything is in government right now. I feel like I'm learning so much.
Me too. I feel like this was a great time for me to decide to pay attention. I mean, it was because I had no choice, but non the less it is a monumental time.
@@melissadavidson7488 I dont think it can ever go back to the way it was after this, the level of trust and accountability now that everyone is watching is great.
Kinda makes you wonder about the amount of effort it took to keep all this silent.
@@cocobaconproductionssay it louder for the people in the back
Whether you love or hate this administration, at least it’s in the light and open to criticism. It’s insane how the left reacts to transparency.
Thanks, Sen. Kennedy,
Great speech!!!
