I think so. And the worst of it has yet to come. because the reason they're trying to cut all of this government spending is not what you might think based on all of the rhetoric the Republicans usually use, which is to reduce the deficit. No, it is to pave the way for more tax cuts for Elon Musk, Donald Trump, billionaires, the largest corporations, the ultra wealthy.
And so they are actually cutting all of these essential programs for the vast majority of American people. in order to cut taxes on the wealthy. So that part of it is starting to get out there, but it has not come through Congress yet, as for example, Medicaid did. And so it's gonna get worse and worse and worse as we move forward.
And with the slashing, the indiscriminate, I mean, this is really what really burns me up. is this Musk slashing has nothing whatsoever to do with waste, fraud, and abuse. That is complete bogus. I support getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse. I support streamlining and making our government more efficient. I certainly would love to use technology to do that, and we should.
But Elon Musk is literally using keywords and getting rid of programs that have names that he doesn't like. He has no idea whether it's waste or fraud. And not only that, the stuff that he is representing is what he's doing. is pretty much all lies. I mean, one line item he had mistakenly put billions of dollars instead of millions, eight billion versus eight million.
He triple counted another cost cutting measure and doubled the amount. He's been floating and promoting cutting programs that ended in George W. Bush's presidency. I mean, this guy is just arbitrarily slashing. But you know what he's not slashing, Ben? He is not slashing any of the $13 billion of government contracts that he receives.
Instead, he's trying to use his power and his influence to take over an FAA contract for his Starlink company at the tune of $2.4 billion. And it's an egregious conflict of interest. It's corruption at its worst. And it really is not only harmful to the American people, but it's a fundamental attack on our democracy.
My response is she would benefit from going to law school before she starts spouting off about what's unconstitutional or not. She might also want to look down in the Fifth Circuit for how many nationwide injunctions a district court judge down in Texas has issued in favor of Republicans. But the bottom line is they don't have any good arguments other than Donald Trump is king.
And we know Donald Trump is not king. That's not how this country works. The courts are analyzing what the rationale is for these arguments. you know, complete cuts, just slashing without any real individualized attention or focus. And they're doing it in violation of the employee's rights. As you point out, the disdain and and
the demeaning way that they speak about federal government employees who, by the way, I mean, I was one for 10 years as a prosecutor, but so many of the others that I have come across are real American patriots. I mean, these are people who are sacrificing, making a lot more money in the private sector to anonymously serve the United States government. And they are experts in many, many respects.
And this type of purging is just gutting our civil service. It will make our government far less efficient, far less effective. And it's really going to jeopardize our national security. And so, you know, Caroline Leavitt can talk all she wants about the constitutionality of this policy.
Anytime, Ben.
$3 trillion are distributed through these federal programs. And a policy difference under the law is not a good reason. It's not a sufficient reason to stop payment of federal funds. So just because Donald Trump doesn't like it does not give him license under the law, as Caroline Levitt said, there's of course no reference to what law,
but it is flatly illegal congressman and here's democratic congressman dan goldman again what really happened here anderson is that they planned to stop all funding and that there was enough of an outrage that they released supplemental guidance today trying to roll this back but what was clear is they shut down all of the money right away and that was their plan
And what either they didn't realize because of ignorance or perhaps cruelty was the point of it, is that it would have a tremendous impact on hundreds of millions of Americans.

You do already see people speaking out. An attorney for two women who say Gates paid them for sex also said they provided the committee with numerous photos of time they spent with Gates. One woman testified that she witnessed having sex with a minor. Again, without the report, just does that information give you pause?

By spending that money on immigration judges and on a system that can quickly evaluate asylum claims, we won't have to have a witness here telling us that fentanyl is a problem. We all know fentanyl is a problem. And in fact, we all know that the drug cartels control the border.
