Who is influencing Trump's administration?
Donald Trump is playing with toy planes in his office, the Oval Office right there. Take a look, though, at that mirror behind you. Zoom in right there. That's real. That's Elon Musk right there watching Donald Trump play with toy planes as Musk is really running the show and just destroying our government. We just learned this as well, that Doge quietly has deleted its purported five biggest spending cuts that it was celebrating, or perhaps the headline should be lying about last week. So those are now removed from the site. And here's what we're learning about as well, about 20 to 21 people who worked within the United States Digital Service Office, an office established during the Obama era that's supposed to help with all of the technology and the data. and all of that, they're resigning. They're saying the reason for their resignation is because that they're unable to basically perform their functions.
We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the constitution across presidential administrations. And we are basically being asked to violate our oath of office by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. So they resigned. Let's bring in Democratic Congress member, Robert Garcia. You know, we saw mass resignations, I think, last week or the week before at the Department of Justice, both at SDNY as well as Maine Justice. We're seeing more mass resignations here. These are important people as well because they kind of hold the infrastructure together across presidential administrations. Just what are you making of all of this, the chaos, the cruelty?
What's going on? I mean, look, this is what Elon Musk has been all about. I think that it's all chaos. It's complete destruction of the federal bureaucracy. And it's also incredibly damaging and hurtful to so many people. I've talked to so many people back home who are frightened. They feel like they're losing their job. They don't know what to do. They had to respond. Elon's crazy. Send me the five things you did for the week. email, which then retracted. So just a lot of chaos and confusion. And obviously, at the same time, Elon Musk and his tech bro crew are lying and they're putting out savings that are not really happening. And so it's clear. The one thing that's clear with all of this is that Elon Musk is pulling the strings.
And he, for all intents and purposes, is the president. Donald Trump has advocated all of his power and responsibility to Elon Musk. And Elon Musk gets richer by the day. He was just getting more and more and more wealthy. And being the richest man on the planet is not enough for Elon Musk.
I want to show you this, Congress member. There was a press conference held earlier in the day with Caroline Leavitt, the press secretary. She was asked a question about who is the Doge administrator? Is it is it Elon Musk? Who's who's running this thing that's inflicting so much pain on the American people? And they just they just gaslight. I want you to watch this.
Thanks, Caroline. I wanted to ask about a federal judge yesterday was saying that they didn't know who the Doge administrator was and was asking the lawyer for the administration who it was. And the lawyer responded, I don't know the answer to that. Can you tell us who the administrator of Doge is?
Again, I've been asked and answered this question. Elon Musk is overseeing Doge. They're our career administrator. 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.
John.
I'm not going to reveal it. We've been incredibly transparent. I mean, this is...
a psycho i don't know what what in the world yeah i i'm not sure how you can say in one breath that you're being incredibly transparent uh and then and just right after then basically say that she's not gonna reveal who the administrator is of their their largest splashiest uh you know agency that they somehow created out of thin air so it no it's it's
