The fraudsters are panicking
Trump is the biggest fraudster.
I have relief that these people are working full time for almost a decade to dig up dirt on Trump and everything they come up with turns out to be a fabrication.
TOTALLY freaking out, LOLOL!!!
Yes, Trump is panicking. Doesn’t know what he’s doing!
Our data & privacy were sold to the Tech Bros. Gov't contractors. X was bought to rival WeChat, China's everything app with social credit score.
All tax payer money being spent should be transparent and accountable
And pass an audit
But no transparency for Musk and DOGE. Got it!!
@ArchYeomans i said all money didn't I? And the treasury dept has put out multiple statements of what information the DOGE committee has access to, and it isn't your ss#,
@@ArchYeomans Who said that? Are you making stuff up?
TDS Red Alert-------->@@ArchYeomans
The reason they are so upset is because their grift on taxpayers is coming to an end.
We now know who's in on the take... Laundering money to themselves, their friends, and their campaigns. They are the ones yelling Reeeeeeeeee!
Wow you just hit the nail on the head it's about time too I'm loving it😊
@@ryanmurner9568 Their grift,should Have never Happened.
You can say until your SNAP, medicare/medicaid, school grants and loan, pension etc are gone.
With a 30 something trillion dollar deficit I don’t know why we’re even having this conversation?
Don't forget trump created 8 trillion of the debt in 4 years. More than any other president ever! We doesn't know how to manage money but thinks he does. Why doesn't he pay his bills and his fair share of taxes?
Because they got their take from that trillion dollars 💰
36 last I heard
unfortunately the are talking POWER of pursestrings rather thean power of the taxpayers
Over $36,000,000,000,000. And they are saying that's not enough.
I'm confused, why are they so mad about someone exposing where our tax dollars are going.
@Sbxallday Cause it's with the use agencies such as this one, politicians that make 200k a year can become multi Millionaires.
Because they are the ones stealing it.
Musk has NO legal right to US treasury where your and mine statistical information has been kept under the law of privacy.
I'm upset that a taxpayer-funded, gov't contractor took my data & privacy. His CEO is WEF's Yaccarino; & blackrock was already in the treasury. The conflicts of interest are beyond egregious. Plus, the double standards: Trump gave USAID $50 million through Ivanka for women equalty in foreign countries.
@gracejoy5339 Google/YT would like to thank you for giving up all your data 7 yrs ago by making an account, and then also installing it on your phone, which allows for contracts and pictures to be collected as well.... All pearls, no brains.
PS. Snowden would also like to take this time to laugh as well.
funding DEI in foreign countries does not secure rare earth minerals.
Yeah, roads, Transportation, housing does like China concentrates on…
USAID IS JUST ANOTHER ARM OF THE UN AND WEF AGENDAS. None of the foreign countries wanted that DEI stuff.
@@jutman17761 Yes, overseen by corrupt governments and dictatorships like Somalia and Iran. We all believe they are spending them wisely 😂
Probably right into the pockets of Hamas, ISIS etc.
It’s not humanitarian aid , get that right.
Thats exactly what I came to say. They just repeat talking points as facts. This is not humanitarian aid.
Exactly.
@@bsmillerexactly! What do Harry and Meghan need $11 million from USAid for? Are they having a humanitarian crisis?
Somebody's about to discover kickbacks to Congress.
the ones who are screaming the loudest have the most to hide.
I have nothing to hide. I'm not ok with having Elon Musk, some unknown teenagers and god knows who or what else stealing my identity, and having all my personal sensitive information- my IP address, bank account info, actual address, SS number, and who knows what all. I'm not ok with having my sensitive personal info that ALL Americans are obligated to provide put up to the highest bidder on the Dark Web. I'm not ok with giving Elon Musk the power to mail my tax return or not, depending on how he feels about it. I'm not ok with him having the power to decide whether to pay my mother her Social Security payment that she, like you, paid into her whole life. Are you ok with all this risk to the financial and privacy security of you and your family?
Last time dems were this angry was when we ended slavery🤔.
Boy if that isn't the most true statement I've seen today although they will be able to spin this to keep their loyal followers and support of their total corruption
Funny how they have grown, that is the kind of evolution that human being need.
nah, they've been pretty upset about deporting people as well.... I wonder why?
Of course you would know since you were there. That is not funny nor helpful. STOP IT!
If you know it was Democrats who used to support slavery, then I suppose you're also aware that after the Civil War, the Democrat & Republican parties actually _switched_ positions, essentially trading policy positions. So... The Democrats of that era are not the same as those from this one. Of course I don't expect you to admit that, since this comment was meant to be divisive.
How is a 32k for a trans comic in peru or 47k for a drag queen opera in Colombia, to name a few things, foreign aid? How is spending Americans hard earned money in such a way benefitting us?

@@bryandunkelarrest who?
It' an audit, WHY are they so scared of an Audit??
They don't want to be exposed.
Probably because most of the money, is going down the democrats own pockets 😂
Just like the Harris campaign spending 500 mio. on staff.
For the same reason why Trump doesn't want to be fact checked.
@@thomascraig4466 Poor response doesn't make sense. They audited Trump took him to court and was never found guilty.
@cddingle
My response was meant to be directed to @robertjohnsons post. Crooked politicians don't like being exposed like Trump doesn't like having his lies exposed when they fact-check him.
With or without Elon, the work must continue! The corruption and waste must be rooted out.
Agree
Exactly, everything must be clear, precisely and transparency. President Trump can assign someone else to monitor these schemes
The problem is without musk. You would have somebody that's beholden to a republican or Democrat party. We already know when they audit themselves nothing happens. In fact it only gets worse.
What "work" to totally dismantle the country? You have no idea of what is going on. A lot of people have been affected within the past week. But you don't see to realize that since it hasn't affect you, YET!
Wow, you lot really don't understand how this country functions or just how much of our diplomacy is based around soft power. Elon is a wannabe dictator white supremecist billionaire who is about to cut off all access to our own tax money because in HIS mind, those services have no value. He won't be the one to suffer when the various things that make our daily lives possible are gone.
Hey, I wonder if the US government is paying outrageous subscription fees to "The Hill" like they are to Politico?
Good ?.
All those crooks needs to be behind bars
Trump gave $50 million to USAID through Ivanka, to help women equality overseas. Does that count?
Hate to break it to ya but when you write the laws it’s super easy to make it not illegal to have corrupt out your ears.
We want to know where all OUR money is going.This needs done now.
We need musk uncovering gov waste.
#1 on the list should be government subsidies that benefit Elon himself.
Elon is for himself, stop being naive.
AND MPS WHO ARE
LINED UP FOR MONEY DUE TO PAY OUTS
Reeeeeeeeee!
@GailAiken-ve5td Yeah, the government is completely altruistic and their motivations. 😂
An unelected person auditing unelected bureaucrats. It doesn't sound so bad. From the spending I've heard of so far, auditing is needed!
Anyone who has their hand in the cookie jar will be upset. Let them scream so we know who they are.
Congress should receive an "F" for managing our money. It was time to bring in remedial teaching. Maybe pay attention and learn that disaster funds are more important than funding diversity operas in other countries - or funding terrorists. Does anyone really think Hamas would buy contraceptives with that money?
This is the most fake outrage I've ever seen, you're an absolute fool if you fall for this lol
Oh I believe the outrage is real. They’re definitely dumb enough to be angry about something like this.
It isn't fake outrage. They are guilty and don't want to be exposed.
The louder they scream.. the more guilty they look. We mandated transparency and they are scared to death. Money laundering criminals... smh
Trump’s leadership picks will greatly influence how he shapes policies, regulations and laws that impact the lives of all Americans. We deserve leaders that will place the public good over personal gain.
Really, a bunch of people who are not so bright and very corrupt not to mention, absolutely NO EXPERIENCE!!
How much money goes to NGO's that donate back to Democrats?
As a US Taxpayer! This is exactly what we wanted! Why do we pay nearly half our salary in taxes just to send it to wasteful organizations
AMERICA HAS SPOKE AND WE WANT THIS...
Less than a third of eligible voters voted for Trump...
You know we're on the right track of the Dems are this angry and any rinos that get in the way are dirty as well
Please speak in depth about the wasteful government spending. Thanks
I have an idea:
To secure rare earth minerals, we spend the money on RARE EARTH MINERALS 😂😅!!!
These people are about to get found out and they are scared stiff
Any Republicans against finding unnecessary spending is corrupt.
Both Republicans and Democrats against finding corruption, fraud, and abuse must be considered complicit.
You mean exposing thru hacking??
It's shocking how much our education system has declined since the late 70s introduction of a Department of Education.
The U.S. can go for the best education system like the rest of the world, which will be no weekends and sleeping 4 hours everyday to study. The most U.S. citizens have no idea what the students in other countries have been doing to have quality education level. You want it but are you up for your personal time sacrifice?
Cut the bloat from USAID and the useless Education Dept.
I say not 1 DIME, if you want to donate to charity DO IT, don't give to CIA fronts!
Go Elon! Go DOGE! Uncover it all! there are no sacred cows in the swamp
Are you happy about Elon and his boys having your personal information? They know your social security number and your bank account numbers. They could probably make a few bucks "for the government" by seizing your assets or selling your identity.

I believe the USAID needs to be audited, and the results need to be turned over to Pam Bondi to make sure that our money it is not being used to subvert the US government. That would be a crime!!!
No food for the swamp and its monsters.
Please provide the receipts for the positive spending USAID has done. Congress is being motivated to actually do their job? What a horrible turn of events.
There is none... most used for laundering...
I hope you know this isn’t aid but the “agency for international development” when there’s people on the street. When our home is strong, then worry about someone else.
@ oh I know. If the good that this “agency” is doing is a talking point provide proof.
First time listener here.
Enjoyed the unbiased reporting
Only a small portion of USAID money goes to humanitarian aid. Check your facts.
I know why the Democrat's are upset. I was wondering how long it would be before the Republicans got upset when it became apparent they were not doing their fiscal jobs.
US foreign aid need not go through the murky intelligence operation that is USAID. There should be less of it and it should go through more transparent systems.
spin spin spin........ it's not who has the power but who does the right thing and gets the job done
Education should be by the states and local.
They are. Each state has their own curriculum. You are just repeating talking points. The federal government gives funding to the states for programs. As someone who is a retired military spouse each state has a different curriculum and state test requirements. Schools boards decided along with the governor.
@@ShannanLee You mean like common core?
That's right. And we don't need a Federal Department of Education. Get rid of it and the waste that it has become.
Clean that swamp Mr President !!! Take no prisoners 😂😂😂
Musk is too fast too efficient. And they all have skeletons in the closet.
You need to change your name from "The Hill" to 'Swamp den'
❤
Why? Explain
😂
@@MatuzaMortgages Not all the time but this video fits the narrative.
@ OK, fair point.
Look at the democratic party squeal at even the slightest financial scrutiny of the federal bureaucracy.
It really explains the past 40 years of our politics.
they don't know how to fight, ONLY CHEAT and Elon caught them🙂
Deceptive claim: USAID is primarily a mechanism for interfering in foreign governments. To characterize their function as giving foreign humanitarian aid is mostly false. Although some of the money laundering is labeled as though it were aid.
Musk make them answer to why they are giving 🤑
Why are you worried, Democratic Party
Everyday is a winning day, i love it!
Give us the list of those rinos
Get them Mr Musk✊🇺🇸❤️
Cry babies
I want to see. What my tax money is getting wasted on.
Kabuki theater....what a bunch of disgusting criminals. The louder they cry the more money they took
Do deep dive audits on these people!!!
The American People Voted For This!! That Makes Democracy Alive And Well!! Keep Draining The Swamp Elon and Thank You and Your Team 🇺🇸
Comments are still being censored. 🤬
While im not in this camp, there are a LOT of people whose vote for Trump was actually a vote for some of the people that he surrounded himself him with: Musk, RFK jr, Tulsi, etc.
And getting rid of USAID doesn't mean that they're not going to still pay for some of the programs the are currently covered, just that it won't be USAID that will be doing it.
Will those still funded be of the waste, fraud, and abuse type?
@robertjohnson-mt8pz I assume not. They're pretty open with everything they've been doing, I don't see how doing that would benefit them.
100% support the best President Trump and DOGE Elon Musk.
Musk needs to clean up the crooks 🎉
EXACTLY AND HE HAS THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
To the supporters of what is happening..Y'all aren't smart
You really think a billionaire that bought the presidency for himself really cares about cleaning it up? He's there to steal as much money and power as he can.
And that's like putting the fox in charge of security in the hen house.
🕊Praying for All, Jesus is Watching. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢 ✝️❤ 🕊
Complaining about audited , seems pretty sus they don’t want you to know what they have been up to .
Government employee emails from OPM are constant and is workplace harassment. They also put secret code at the end of signature blocks to detect any criticism of Musk or DOGE.
Only vampires fear sunshine.
We voted for Elon to do this, stop the belly aching 😂
👍
NO NO NO This statement is a lie !!!!!!!! you never voted for him --- EITHER his name was nowhere on the ballot !!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't see Musk on the voting ballot. Where was he listed?
@@MBu-tf5ukI didn’t see those unelected officials at USAID on the ballot. He just found out they literally funded Covid 19. USAID created Covid 19.

Musk is doing a Great Job! Keep up the Good work, Mr Musk!
Trump only picks the best.
Give Musk a medal! Thank you Musk! He is saving our country from destruction!
Musk is lining his pockets, most American's already see the corruption, they don't need DOGE to tell them.
Listen to Warren she thinks she is fighting for american citizens..retire retire retire..
Where did government spend our tax dollars???We want to know
Go Elon, Christ stands with Trump & You, make them shake in there boots
If you look up elon musk red suit upside cross red suit , athiest not christian , let criminal , backgrounds on pardon , isn't right cause others in prisons
He said USAID is for "providing humanitarian aide across the globe" fact check yourself! "International Development" In the acronym.
That is what they are SUPPOSED to be for.
These people crying about Elon Musk NEVER MENTION the army of unelected bureaucrats who stole all this money!
I am a very happy Libertarian 😊
You should be. Trump is ferreting out waste, fraud, and abuse. He also put in effect a policy that for every new regulation, 10 old ones must be discarded.
T❤R❤U❤M❤P
Thank God for Elon and Trump. Cry harder Dems.
We love Elon Musk and President Trump
Go Elon we need you. Crazy to go after the one who is finding the stealers.
The IRS doesn't need more agents to process tax returns.
We need a flat tax and get rid of the IRS.
@robertjohnson-mt8pz I'd rather have no income tax, put tariffs on the countries that rip us off, and sell enough oil and natural gas that we have more money than we spend.
@robertjohnson-mt8pz
I agree with you on a flat tax, but with absolutely no loopholes subsides and grants for anyone or any business. Several wealthy people don't pay any taxes because of the loopholes.
You people stop giving fools a thumbs up that don't deserve our time
How is cutting various programs that are completely nonsensical controlling the strings that Congress is supposed to?
This statement would have validity if they were allocating money to their pet projects but no, they’re not. They’re showcasing how our money has been spent by Congress.
Keep up the good work Elon moss.Keep up the good work.President trump there's some big alligators in that swamp
Well done Elon, show the far left corruption 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The people have voted clean the swamp last time was just a warm up
"Soft Power" is a euphemism for "bribes".
Don't listen to them😂
We trust Trump!
IF YOU VOTED TRUMP YOU VOTED WHO HE NEEDS SHUT UP QUIT CRYING DEMOCRATS ! 🙄
If you were a republican during Reagan or HW. . . This is what he was promising a never delivered.
Maybe Elon can finish an audit of the Department of Defense for once. Then do the FED.
The Pentagon needs a REAL audit. They have failed 7 audits in a row.
They paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Zelensky. That was 😳. So, continue the audit!
This Auditing is embarrassing those whom the shoe fits...I'm sure Gitmo will be a concern.
Not only they are losing faces, they are also losing money. No more kick backs from GS and rich companies. Talk to your sugar daddy GS. He's probably gonna run out of money soon. Prepare your pan handling signs or get a part time job at Walmart, I'm not sure they'll hire you. You can't have a sign that says, work for food because you don't know how to work.
Musk Must STAY and continue this important work!! We support you
I agree with you 💯
BS
NO!!! Sorry, The Hill!! This is what the American people want. This is why we elected Donald J Trump! Let’s do a clean sweep and start over with the spending programs where appropriate and needed. We are sick and tired of the corruption, and don’t tell me there aren’t vested interests behind the scenes here!
Na we’ll keep him.
