Senator Kennedy's Defense Of Elon Musk's DOGE Left The Room Speechless.
"I wanna try to put in perspective what many of my Democratic friends have been talking about today. They're very, very, very upset at president Trump, and they're very, very, very upset at Elon Musk. President Trump ran for president on a number of issues. One of the issues he ran on, he said it almost every day. He said, if you will make me president, I'm gonna go through the entire budget and review all the spending line by line."
"I heard if I heard him say that once, I heard him say it a thousand times. And that's what he's been doing. He went out and appointed through an executive order, Elon Musk, who, people some people like him, some don't, but he's not a dummy. He's a very successful business person. He's got a top secret security clearance."
"President Trump issued an executive order and he turned to mister Musk, and he said, mister Musk, I want you to do for me what I said I was gonna do in the election. I want you to go through all the spending line by line. Now let me ask you something, mister president. How are you gonna review the spending without reviewing the spending? How are you gonna audit the spending by an agency without auditing the agency?"
"That's what I mean when I say common sense is illegal in Washington DC. That's what mister Musk is doing. He's put together a crackerjack team and, they're going through everybody spending line by line, item by item. And my my Democratic colleagues are very, very, very upset. And they they're they've been very eloquent."
"They've talked about the process and, president Trump's executive order supposedly violates the constitution, and they've accused mister Musk of having conflicts of interest. And so I've heard people say he's sitting over there with a notepad copying down everybody's social security number, and he's gonna go use it to make money. I mean, people in this town, not just my democratic colleagues, they're really upset."
"They've never said anybody question their spending. But that's what Mr. Musk is doing. But you know what? I've listened. This has been going on for a week. People have been screaming like they're part of a prison riot."
"Oh, my God. Look at what Musk is doing. He's looking at the spending. And I've listened to people talk about the process and debate whether it's constitutional and and and and discuss how many lawyers can dance on the head of a pen. But you know what?"
"I haven't heard one single person who's upset with president Trump or mister Musk talk about what he's found. They don't wanna talk about the spending the spending porn, the waste of taxpayer money that he's found. I mean, that's the point of all of this. I tell you who is interested, the American people. The people in America who get up every day and go to work and obey them all and pay their taxes and try to educate their kids and try to do the right thing by their kids and try to save a little money for retirement."
"And they've had to to to, to live through 20% inflation under president Biden. They understand what Musk is doing. They understand spending porn and wasting taxpayer money. Now mister Musk started with the USAID That hands handles a lot of, a foreign aid for American American people, very generous. In in our country, you know, when you're homeless, we'll we'll house you."
"When you're, when you're hungry, we'll feed you. In our country, when you're too poor to be sick, we'll pay for your doctor. And and we we send a lot of money overseas to help our world's neighbors. And the USAID is in charge in large part of that. But I'll tell you what mister Musk discovered."
"I found it it fascinating. He discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to, Afghanistan. He found that we are giving money to Yemen. He found that we are giving money to Syria. I didn't know that. Some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria. He found that the USAID has 10,000 people. 10,000 people, employees. And every year, they give away $40,000,000,000. Mister Musk, also found and I'm not saying that that all of this money is wasteful."
