Expose it all Elon!!!
In November of 2024, the Pentagon failed it’s 7th audit in a row, unable to account for how $824 billion was used.
THE LAST TIME THE PENTAGON LOST 2 BILLION UNACCOUNTED FOR - NEW YORK LOST 3 TOWERS BY 2 PLANES THE NEXT DAY.
Area 51 staff party Las Vegas weekends...🎉🍾🛸
Time to clean up shop.. I've never been more excited as an American...
NOTHING to do with why a nutjob immigrant Nazi with no background check or Congressional approval having unlimited access to federal monies and citizen's personal information. If it's so bad why didn't Trump do something his 1st presidency? Answer: Musk bought his presidency and is blackmailing him. Sell your fox news propaganda and lies elsewhere, Vladimir
I’m sure the billionaires will solve the problem 🤦🏽♀️
DEFUND ABC NEWS
I thought ABC funded themselves?
It’s a private company, hahaha 😝
Ur mom
They already have to pay for the Trump Library to settle the lawsuit over Stephanopoulos lying about Trump on air. It's just a matter of time before they get sued again for lying.
Why?
Everybody who has worked on a military contract knows how much the Department of Defense is always overcharged, and how much money they actually waste. This should be interesting.......
Always a bad idea to go after the merchants of death
Hey, the Pentagon isn't wasting any money, they just do things they don't want Americans to know about. Ask me about Ontario and our uranium.
@mikedavis6711 stay focused...we have a Constitution. We have laws.We have an oversight committee.
America has never had a King/Dictator/President with immunity until now.
Why is the question ❓
Its not the defense Department. Its the Big Defense Contractors Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing & Northrop Gruman.
Out of curiosity do you remember years ago the scandal of the toilet seats? The military had to have toilet seats I guess😅
We got starving kids here in America too
@@johnwattdotcathat's because their Parents make it so
And now Trump has ceased funding for school lunches & programs that offer additional financial support to working parents. The GOP has work for years to convinced much of America that poor people are lazy, irresponsible, freeloaders.
They can’t embezzle money as easily when they keep it in America.
You think he will give a damn😂
2.7 trillion dollars missing. Why can't the department of government efficiency look into that?
They will look at it and remove waste. Dems just keep losing and its great
Liberal justice wants to bankrupt America 🇺🇸
They are.
I am sure that’s in the To Do list of Elon Musk…
They’re not a government department. That’s just a name they’ve given themselves.
Hahaha man abc is so against saving American tsx dollars 💸
Funny how they forget to mention that the PM of Japan agreed to invest 1 trillion into the US. 😂
What’s funny about that?
We dont want usaid
No more 2 thousand dollar hammers 500 dollar light bulbs how will the rich people who start wars that other people die in pay their bills?.
WE ARE 36 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT! WE ARE BROKE! NEED I SAY MORE!
Trump added more to that debt than any other president.
They need to find money so they can give tax cuts to the rich
@@jjjj5452 oh look at the little sheep, who wasn’t paying attention to the announced tax cuts that are going to be coming forth. I cannot wait for the absolute meltdown of the left one that occurs. It is like every day mental illness meltdowns from your group.
Every country is in debt
@jjjj5452 unless you work for the goverment that's who pays majority of America.
This will not stop the audits of every single government agency. The party is coming to an end for these parasites.
Why don't we audit Trump and musk while we're at it
What about millions of people here in our own country that need food and medical aid and other things that are homeless?
USAID has nothing to do with that
@@Smoothoperator12 exactly take the money and take care of America first
That it’s already cut don’t worry for your country. It includes kicks on meals that it’s for American children in poverty.
It does help America usaid is crucial for soft power deferring poverty and helping hunger so wars are less likely otherwise the Chinese will do it instead
@@Smoothoperator12
If YOU wast to donate privately for someone’s transgender surgery in Guatemala then do it but that’s not where I want MY tax dollars going
When they're more mad at someone exposing the corruption, than the corruption itself, they're the corrupt ones.
Kushner was gifted 2 billion by the Saudi's, talk about corruption.
Why aren't those countries taking care of their people? Why do we have to aid them? Where is our aid?
The bad thing about the department of education, they kept giving themselves raises while the education scores continued to decline.
💯
The morbidly obese women teachers cant wipe their own....how can they teach anything???
Well republicans do everything they can to make it hard too teach any other than a book most of them don’t read or follow.
It's like when corporations lay off thousands and give their ceos bonuses
Well the republicans have been working at teaching one book most of them don’t read or understand for years.
The fact that they are shaking in their boots about being audited proves they need to be audited.
We aren’t mad about money going to the places mentioned here! How about mentioning the actual waste they’re finding!
HELL YEAH DOGE! INVESTIGATE ALL CAUSES OF STUPIDITY!
I wish you would tell the full story. Either you're leaving it out on purpose or you don't know - about every single topic you just covered. smh
A series of Constitution amendments indicate that Americans are a people who are adapted to necessary change and reform. It is now high time for America to streamline its inflated government, to stop its irresponsible spending, and to bring to justice its possible corruption. Don't slander Musk, tell us how government agencies spent our hard earned tax dollars!
I hate to say it, but the DoD needs a serious reforming. These people spend billions and take decades to develop weapons systems they end up cancelling anyway. The only government program close to being as wasteful is the Califailure high speed rail project ($100 billion, 16 years and nothing operating yet). Not sure if is corruption or institutional dysfunction, but neither is acceptable.
If the previous administrations hadn't put America into such a nosedive President Trump wouldn't have to go to such extremes
The economy was much better after Biden than when he took over. Idiot Trump wrecked the economy with his PPP scam.
Imagine being retarded enough to believe this
Rebuild the burned California area with that money being reclaimed at USAID!!! And Hawaii!! And North Carolina!!!
Thank you Elon for exposing the truth!
Go get em Elon!!!
Musk is a hero… get that swamp drained! 👊
Musk is a corrupt oligarch. Unelected corrupted filth.
Trump brings his family and random billionaires into the White House and gives them cushy jobs and you call it draining the swamp! What a schmuck you are, I suppose the Saudi's(The guys responsible for 911 and the bone saw murder) gave Kushner 2 billion just because they liked him.
Everyone, no matter your political affiliation, please write to your local assemblyperson and congressperson and tell them to allow Trump to go forward and expose wasteful government spending. I believe everyone wants their government to support them and their needs first. Let's get some of this monies put back toward the American people. Let your politicians know that if they block Trump, they will lose your vote. This money is your money.
First I would like to know why the Saudi's gave Kushner 2 billion dollars. You know the Saudi's from 911 and the reporter they cut up alive with a bone saw, those Saudi's. More wasteful spending is hiring your friends and family members for positions in the White House. You want to look at wasteful spending and obvious corruption, then let's take a real close look.
Money going back to the American people? 😂
Pentagon getting Anti virus 😂
Great news !!!
Full audit
Get them Elon! Expose the truth!
Stop funding the world and thier problems.
Cool, we can close all those military bases around the world and dramatically cut military spending.
i thought i had read every manifestation book out there, but Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane hits different. it’s damn near impossible to find, but after reading it, i see why. it doesn’t just talk about manifesting, it explains how to shift energy in a way that actually works. took me forever to track it down, but it was worth every second
Abc pathetic reporting slanted towards democrap ideology.... business will decline
So stopping drug trafficking matters when USAID does it but not when trump does it himself? Every dollar of UsAID should have been spent domestically.
Really,is Biden even alive
Cut government and balance our budget l.
Guess we gotta start with the military.
@@troywest7045Biden did that. Now the rest of the destabilized Communist world laughs at our weakness. You are indoctrinated.
The department of defense needs LESS OFFICERS AND MORE ENLISTED WITH BIGGER PAY RAISES! WHY IS A E5 forced to live in the barracks and LTs get BAH and WAY MORE MONEY!?? Shrink down the OFFICER CORPS!
Why not shrink the whole military, we don't need so many personal as long as we have advanced weapons systems. We could close all our military bases outside the Country and probably half the bases in the Country, we would save a ton.
Dems approval is dropping like a lead balloon. 30% 😅 Keep doing what you do.
Every pendulum swings.
Federal judges needs to go
That price of fresh eggs will crush you.
Get back when they look into the huge, wasteful military budget and make some cuts there
Are u guys so stupid…u started showing their good side..what about the list of things released I don’t see any news channel talking about that.
Reduce the Defence budget!
So now # 47 will not charge the Secret Agents at Mara Lago to rent golf carts ???
Get the Fed Judges out of the way 🤮
Say you love fascism and unchecked presidential power with your chest out 👑
Duh? Research the balance of power before you speak. Educate yourself
@@MathewCrichton say you have no idea what fascism is with your chest puffed out 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@atasteofreality609 "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy."
Sounds like MAGA to me 😂😂😂
@@MathewCrichtonIf that’s what fascism means then I am 100% on with it… GOD COUNTRY FAMILY
The cockroaches are scrambling.
i don’t know why this book is so hard to find, but after finally getting Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, i get why they don’t want this out there. it breaks down exactly why most people stay stuck, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. since reading it, my whole life has shifted. the secrets inside are worth the effort.
Those countries already have their own government to help them with food supplies that the United States been doing this helping other countries for a long long time and they still can’t get it together
Yes, pls. FWA is rampant throughout the DoD. Their systems desperately need to be revamped.
ABC news needs to get its act together or it’ll go bust….
BOYCOT TESLA AND EVERYTHING MUSK HAS HIS STICKY FINGERS IN.
Haven't seen anyone tallying up the unnessary repairs that were needed at Boca Chica, probably tens of millions due to poor planning and decision making, maybe start there.
Good
ever notice how some books just disappear? Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane isn’t easy to find, and now i understand why. the things it reveals about energy and attraction? insane. i thought i was just “unlucky” until i applied what it teaches. within weeks, my finances flipped, and i stopped chasing things-now they come to me
Fight for your mailmen and mail women the nalc with usps has our union in a choke hold! besides still having old equipment and trucks we havent seen a real wage increase in 5 plus years. Costco is at 30 an hour soon for a cashier where do we stand for serving the american people. Id say more than costco just to start. Please march at your local state for us mail postal workers we do appreciate the american people 🙏 thank you !
Put extra security on these people.
Trump should create a task force to investigate real estate price inflation, penalize corporate speculators, and protect affordable housing for middle-class Americans.
You're funny
DJT stock down 3.68% in one day. Trump coin down 25.51% in seven days. Dogecoin down 25.68% in one month. Melania coin down 80.09% in one month. "Tesla's fourth-quarter net income fell 71% from a year ago" "Tesla Sales Plunge 63% in EU’s Second-Biggest EV Market"
Liberal tears up 1000 gallons per day
Good time to buy. 😂
Imagine being so stupid you think Dogecoin has anything to do with the department of government efficiency 🤦♂️
Nsaid
Instead of usaid
Nippon? Didnt Trump say it was going to be Nissan investing in the US steel?
He said Nissan like 4 times in that press conference.
Nippon was buying US steal amigo
Good..dod needs a look..of course
lol trump must be a fool to think Obama won’t share info with Biden 😂
There are many comments about congressional approval. Executive appropriation is legal, congress needs information & the public voted on an audit. Information will be directed to Congress for a vote on bills. The Republicans are a majority & with the votes there will be no constitutional discrepancies.
they will loose that majority in the mid elections
Lot of bots on here commenting
$820 billion goes to the military
Wasn’t that the budget around 2002 ? It’s a bit more now isn’t it?😂
@@JoeHugs-p1i no that’s about right for last year. The problem is they can’t account for a couple hundred billion of that.
Watch as Trump diverts all that Money
Saved by Closing the US Agencies
to his Poor Billionaire Friends as
a Massive Tax Cut. 🤣🤣
Democrats put billions in their own pocket and they got a judge to block Elon from looking into their bank accounts to see exactly how much they stiffened off.
We are going to give it to Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Hopefully you’re still OK with that.😂
Soros?
Look at the list of taxpayer money spent by USAID on Trans/Drag Woke and DEI. Dems are pathetic.
TRILLIONS STOLEN BY DEM'S - THEY HATE AMERICA - SO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. THE REAL LEADERS ARE HERE!
@@JoeHugs-p1i na..they are going to divert the frozen assets of Russia to Ukraine. How about that Ivan.
Reduce military spending not programs that millions of people rely on!
Congrats on the most ignorant and uneducated comment of the decade
Why is usaid sending 50 million to the taliban for condoms?
If they are not our people that's not our problem.
@@michaelshirhall1831 There's actually no evidence of that.
@jackcollinsmartin4210 Yes, there is. Doge found it. That's why it's being shuttered. There is physical proof of it. Okay how about the millions for a transgender superhero comic for Brazil. Proof of that too
Nice...
⚡️😆⚡️ WHEEEEE!! ⚡️😆⚡️
During Donald Trump's first presidency, the national debt increased 40.43%.
Huh? Do you understand %s?
It stands to reason that many federal employees voted for Trump.
If Trump eliminates your job and you voted for him, are you happy?
You’re not too bright are you?
Doubtful, DC is a liberal cesspool
Its congressionally appropriated and was created by President Kennedy and cannot be shut down legally without congressional approval. They purchase over 2 billion is grain from Kanas farmers annually. So cheer that red hats.
Fun fact, he doesn’t want to shut it down, which is why he didn’t stop the medical and food sectors. You are too engrossed in liberal MSM, the intent is not to shut it down the intent to stop the absolutely ludicrous mismanagement of the funds 🤦♂️ I know that’s hard to understand for a TDS carrying liberal, but hopefully one day you open your eyes.
So it was created by a President? That means it was created by executive order? Congress agreed to fund it, but what happens if they don’t spend the funds? What happens if trump destroys it by executive order?
DOGE is not even a legitimate Department of the Government
Tell us ur stupid without telling us lol
Appointed by the president, serving in the executive, auditing agencies run by the executive. Smh
@@michaelkistler6885 A president can't create a new executive branch. That's done through congress or done on an emergency basis by congressional mandate given to the president. DOGE is not legally a part of the executive branch. That's why Trump has consistently called Musk an "advisor", because he and others know he can't give Musk a more official title or designate him as member of Trump's cabinet. Because then everybody would say, "Gotcha! Not legal." They're skirting the law deliberately. And that was fine until they started getting into things they're not supposed to and going beyond an advisory capacity. If someone employed by the US government wants to create prepared, somewhat redacted materials for Musk to then peruse and give advice on? Still a bit hinky, but they might be able to get away with it. However, Musk is not employed by the executive branch or any branch of the government. There's no allocation to pay him! Allowing this is allowing any president going forward the same latitude, even the one's you don't like. If Biden had done this I'd be just as pissed off. Take off the "MAGA" hat for a moment and put on your "Protect the Constitution" hat. Have a care that allowing unchecked power plays like this is bad for everyone no matter who does it.
Day 20
Trump doing Nothing to Address
the High Grocery Prices. 😊
Are you really struggling that much? He has to undo the last four years of disastrous policies first. Make sure you don't forget it.
O'Biden wrecked our energy sector. Remember Bidenomics? Were you upset about high prices 2 yrs ago?
Stop crying. TDS patient. He's in the office only 3 weeks.
Takes time to drill
Lol
You wanted Kamala to win.
Sorry amigo.
Tax the rich to solve the debt problem.
They already do and they pay the overwhelming and I mean, overwhelming percent of taxes. Maybe you should start pulling your own weight 🤷♂️
@atasteofreality609 Tax them 60%.=
@ I’m OK with that as long as you’re good with being tax 30% across-the-board.
Or tax the rich
Take trump to prison already
Tell everybody in Columbia that Trump is president again. And won’t be going to jail.
@JoeHugs-p1i wrong answer stupid idiot
I’m all for it right after the entire Biden administration is locked up
@@atasteofreality609 the Biden administration wasn’t indicted for anything because they’re not flagrantly corrupted morons like Donald Trump is and always will be
Are you suggesting an insurrection?

Your Top Leadership is Gone &
Trump leaked the Names of all
the New Recruits. 🤣🤣
@johnnydoe3603-Good now we need to get those deportation numbers up
The problem with Donald Trump is that he is a prisoner to his financial donors.
Shouldn't we "put breaks" on a felon than others⁉️ 🤔
@JoeHugs-p1i Are you talking about the J6 terrorists⁉️ 🤔
@@JoeHugs-p1i Are you talking about the J6 "Communist criminals"⁉️ 🤔🤣😂
LIKE THE TRILLIONS STTOLEN BY DEM'S - YEAH LIMIT THIS....
Trump has lost about 93% of his cases in court, both as a private citizen and as President so far.
BUT HE STILL GOT ELECTED....EAT SH'''
@@JoeHugs-p1i Trump won the electoral college and not the popular vote. Another GOP MAGA lie.
Misinformation:
From 1973 until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.
Of all cases with a clear resolution, Trump was the victor 92 percent of the time
Got a source to that 93%? It wasn’t a serious question because I know you don’t, just another liberal meltdown.
Do Musk not realize he will be going to jail after Trump run is over
Like a child throwing a tantrum, all he can do is break things.
Look these men know business right??? But i dont approve of how they are doing things!!! Investigate these spending issues not just stop things!!! Really is this how they handled their businesses???
STOP TRUMP & MUSK NOW‼️🙀😡
Guys, just because Trump spoke at a Heritage Foundation conference and hired numerous Project 2025 writers to his cabinet, it doesn't actually mean he knows anything Project 2025. The cope is insane.
Musk is on his way out.
Donald Musk stuck in the mud
The last time the Pentagon couldn't account for trillions of dollars a missile . . . I mean "plane" hit the building's accounting department.
Yeah very capable group of people! Hahaha 😝
Congress established USAID as an independent establishment (defined in 5 U.S.C. 104) within the executive branch, the President does not have the authority to abolish it; congressional authorization would be required to abolish, move, or consolidate USAID.
If Congress established it, why was it created by Executive Order?
@@PS-qn4oz The President can’t issue a Bill in Congress, he issued an Executive Order as a blueprint to Congress who used it to create a bill and formally pass the bill into law.
@ That doesn't answer my question. The Foreign Assistance Act was already passed, so I don't understand why JFK had to use EO to create the agency. I don't know how often new agencies are created or what the procedure is; I thought you might know whether or not this is standard.
@@PS-qn4oz Per the US Constitution and the United States Code (USC), a compilation of laws passed by Congress. A Congressional action is required to create Executive Branch departments, to fund them, to determine the nature and scope of their duties and to confirm the appointment of their top leaders. The President can’t arbitrarily eliminate the cabinet level department or withhold funding.
President Musk wants more
Yes, good I want to see that…😊
king dum dum and president elon hit a snag with their fail early, fail often, but always fail forward
Trump needs thrown out of office
You should go play with the dotted lines in the road
Not sure how Trump and Musk stand being soooo hated by literally billions of people. Bad Karma man.
Elon is def going to get epsteined
WE ARE 36 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT! WE ARE BROKE! NEED I SAY MORE!
It doesn't matter how much corruption and waste spending is exposed. Dems believe this was all actually careful humanitarian spending. No amount of transparency and facts right there on the table proving otherwise will ever convince them.
