Doge moment. We promise that we're going to keep you on top of things, and we're going to start out a little bit different today on the Doge moment. Has anybody ever heard of Representative Dave Min? He's a Democrat from California. He's planning to introduce, get this, a bill titled Bad Doge Act. He's going to introduce it in the House against Doge, arguing that it is in a, it is a, it is, engage, get this, in an abuse of power. So they're saying Doge is abusing their power, not just this representative, but the whole Democrats, they're out there whining and complaining about Doge and saying it's an abuse of power that all the lawmakers took an oath, blah, blah, blah, and it's about the Constitution of the United States.

and abuse of power, this and abuse of power, that. Well, if I was able to meet Representative Dave Min of California, I would look at them straight in the face and say this and ask this. Well, you say Doge's abuse of power. What do you call $37 trillion of debt brought to us by you and your buddies and now $2 trillion yearly deficits plus brought to you by you and Joe Biden's administration. Where's the abuse of power? In Doge that's trying to roll it back?

Or you people that took us the $37 trillion of debt and we're finding massive amounts of corruption in the spending? We'll start with your buddy Stacey Abrams creating a out of thin air, a green energy so-and-so, and gets $2 billion grant, which is money not having to be paid back. That's what I would say to him. So just letting you know these Democrats, and again, if they were Republicans, I would tell you that too. We have no bias. These Democrats are a bunch of worms. They are worms.

in every way, shape, or form. I cannot believe that this is what they're trying to fight. Entities trying to make government more efficient and effective and get rid of. Imagine if you bought a restaurant today. You bought a restaurant. And you see there's 100 people working in that restaurant. But you know for a fact, well, you need's 40. and you'd still run great.

What are you going to do? What are you going to do? In case you don't know, government is a business. We own them. They work for us. We don't work for them, but they've run amok. And finally, somebody's doing something about it,

and then you get somebody like Dave Kim that says, they're the abuse of power that Doge is? Not the people running 2 trillion plus deficits each year? And 37 trillion? What's the other thing I would say to him? Kiss mine. Speaking of the Doge moment,

Lee Zeldon canceled 21 Wasteful DEI Environmental Justice Grants with the help of the Dogey team racking up 67 million more in savings. That's fabulous. That's fabulous. That's fabulous. They found $265,000. For a food and nutrition service,

three-day leadership retreat in Atlanta. A three-day leadership retreat in Atlanta for $265,000 of our tax dollars? Oh, but that's so small potatoes. How about $30,000? Just $30,000 for Malaysia Study Tour facilitation services. Sure. Who needs 30,000 of our tax dollars? Right? Right? Right. Schools have spent 200 billion of COVID relief funds with little oversight or impact on students. You ready? $393,000 to rent out a major league baseball stadium. $86,000 in Caesar's Palace hotel rooms.

$60,000 in swimming pool passes and an ice cream truck run amok. These people are just sick to their stomach, sick to their stomach that they've been found out. And the gravy train is over. And you do know we're going to find a lot of crap. Remember, we predicted that people were going to create green energy companies. We told you that specifically. That's what Stacey Abrams did. You know what you're going to find?

Entities were created and politicians were paid a $1 million to do a speech to that entity because they could not take a donation, but they can certainly do a speech. More corruption. There's going to be a ton of that.
