Speaker 1: Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Grodowski. So,
Speaker 1: if you turned on cable news or read a newspaper
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, nearly every story straying this White
Speaker 1: House has had something to do with Elon Musk and DOGE,
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency. It's important to remember that
Speaker 1: DOGE is not actually a government department, So it's not
Speaker 1: like the Department of Education or the Interior Department. Most
Speaker 1: people don't realize, but it's actually scheduled to end on
Speaker 1: July fourth, twenty twenty six. Now, let's examine what DOGE
Speaker 1: was created for and what is done. DOGE was created
Speaker 1: by an executive order on January twentieth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: by President Trump. The executive order states that doge's purpose
Speaker 1: is to quote implement the President's DOJ agenda by modernizing
Speaker 1: federal technology and software to maximize government efficiency and productivity.
Speaker 1: It later goes on to say that DOGE will improve
Speaker 1: the IT system, work with agency heads to promote interruptibility
Speaker 1: between agency networks and systems, ensure data integrity, and facilitate
Speaker 1: responsible data collection and synchronization. Nowhere in the executive order
Speaker 1: does DOGE talk about being used as a force to
Speaker 1: balance the budget or cancel contracts or like o of
Speaker 1: federal workers. It's very clearly a conversation about modernizing and
Speaker 1: protecting data to run more efficiency, which is a noble goal,
Speaker 1: like the government should try to do that. Yet most
Speaker 1: of the conversations surrounding Doge it's about saving money and
Speaker 1: stopping inefficient programs. So let's get into the data. Let's
Speaker 1: get into the numbers. The US government is currently thirty
Speaker 1: six point four trillion dollars in debt, which is a number,
Speaker 1: like most people can't think up with thirty six trillion
Speaker 1: dollars in debt. It runs a two trillion dollar deficit
Speaker 1: every single year. It's not because we don't collect money.
Speaker 1: Any taxpayer will tell you we collect money. The federal
Speaker 1: government's revenue from taxes is over five trillion dollars a year,
Speaker 1: but we spend seven trillion now. According to the Doge clock,
Speaker 1: which is a feature from the US deck clock website,
Speaker 1: doges estimated savings for the government so far from what
Speaker 1: they found is about eighty one billion dollars in waste
Speaker 1: fraud abuse. Some analysts say it's like closer to thirty
Speaker 1: eight billion, but it's between you know, thirty thirty eight
Speaker 1: and eighty one billion, whichever number it is, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Pretending like it's not, which some Democrats
Speaker 1: are doing, is very stupid, because American taxayers feel like
Speaker 1: their money is being wasted on DEI consultants and duplicate programs,
Speaker 1: or just showed up being stolen and given to corrupt
Speaker 1: oligarchs overseas. But that's your data. That's the hard number.
Speaker 1: Thirty six trillion in depth, five trillion taken in through taxes,
Speaker 1: seven trillion spent, and two trillion in deficits, with between
Speaker 1: thirty eight and eighty one billion dollars in savings from DOGE.
Speaker 1: Defenders of these programs such as like USAID, which has
Speaker 1: been very heavily unscrutinized by the Doge Committee, I've said
Speaker 1: that these programs help promote foreign policy and soft power.
Speaker 1: This is Washington d C Speak for you're too stupid
Speaker 1: to complain abo how your tax dollars work. So kudos
Speaker 1: to anyone looking for bad spending and wasteful and duplicate programs.
Speaker 1: This isn't really really important work. However, it's not enough
Speaker 1: to balance our budget. It's not even close it's currently
Speaker 1: less than half of one percent of the federal deficit.
Speaker 1: This is far below the two trillion dollar number that
Speaker 1: Elon Musk originally said he hoped Doge could find and
Speaker 1: cut from the government. As a millennial who vaguely remembers
Speaker 1: the last time he balanced the budget in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, this is frustrating. Bill Clinton actually said in
Speaker 1: two thousand he expected to pay down the entire US
Speaker 1: debt by twenty twelve because we're running surpluses in the
Speaker 1: late nineties and early two thousands, and then of course
Speaker 1: we had the Warren terror warre in Iraq, the Bush
Speaker 1: tax cuts, Obamacare, cash for clunkers, so on, and so forth.
Speaker 1: Administration after administration, and we're in the situation we're in now.
Speaker 1: Doge hit a controversy even before it began, first with
Speaker 1: the exiting of co chairman of ac Raamaswami. He left
Speaker 1: before the administration started. This is after he said a
Speaker 1: series of tweets saying that Americans were lazy and unsuccessful
Speaker 1: because they let their kids idolize athletes and have sleepovers.
Speaker 1: Sources close to me have told me that Doge was
Speaker 1: looking for him to get out way before, way before
Speaker 1: this actually came out, these tweets came out. He wasn't
Speaker 1: what you considered an extremely active participant. You know when
Speaker 1: you're like a little you're like a kid and your
Speaker 1: little brother wants to play a video game that you're playing,
Speaker 1: so but he's terrible, so you give him like a
Speaker 1: remote that's not plugged in to the game and tell
Speaker 1: him that he's like playing. That was allegedly the relationship
Speaker 1: between Elonofek. That's what my sources have told me. Since
Speaker 1: starting though in January, Doge's staff has gained access to
Speaker 1: many federal departments, taking data, including sensitive data, offering buyouts
Speaker 1: to federal workers so they could retire early. They've closed
Speaker 1: excess office space or looking to close excess office space,
Speaker 1: and canceling contracts that they thought were wasteful. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of noise around Doge. The Democrats don't have a
Speaker 1: singular message because and that's a real problem for the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party if you've paid attention the last few message
Speaker 1: for the last few years. But they're very angry about
Speaker 1: the accessing data. That the staffers were very young, The
Speaker 1: Dough staffers are very young. Some of the Dog staffers
Speaker 1: have written very spicy takes on social media that they've
Speaker 1: raised concerns about that accessing this federal data and canceling
Speaker 1: these contracts is illegal. I want to focus specifically on
Speaker 1: the data aspect because a lot of the other stuff
Speaker 1: is just political noise. It's not actually relevant that one
Speaker 1: of the people who's nineteen wrote something spicy on Twitter
Speaker 1: seven months ago, like that doesn't actually matter, but the
Speaker 1: accessing federal data could matter. Musk and the Trump administration
Speaker 1: said that they had quote read only access to all
Speaker 1: the federal data, but reporters had wired so that at
Speaker 1: least one dough staffer had the ability to change the
Speaker 1: code of the Treasury Department's payment system. Democrats have said
Speaker 1: that the staffers were attempting to cut off payments to
Speaker 1: programs that were against President Trump's agenda without an Act
Speaker 1: of Congress. Federal judge in New York has blocked Doge's
Speaker 1: access to the sense of data and the Treasury Department,
Speaker 1: while a different federal judge in Washington has declined to
Speaker 1: block doge's access to data in the Labor Department. That
Speaker 1: Ladder judge did express those concerns that seffrs had not
Speaker 1: been properly trained about handling sensitive data. The Washington Post
Speaker 1: reported quote Dojes associates have been feeding vast tropes of
Speaker 1: government records and databases into artificial intelligence tools, looking for
Speaker 1: unwanted federal programs and trying to determine which human work
Speaker 1: can be replaced with AI, machine learning tools, or even robots.
Speaker 1: Everything that can be machine automated will be machine automated.
Speaker 1: So one person speaking to the Post, that raises a
Speaker 1: question in my head, this is what I'm concerned about.
Speaker 1: Whose AI company are they replacing the workers? Because the
Speaker 1: government doesn't own an AI system. That doesn't exist, there's
Speaker 1: no federal AI system. It contracts out to other AI companies,
Speaker 1: and tech companies have investing billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 1: into smarter, faster, and possibly one day self learning AI.
Speaker 1: That's like the goal of a lot of tech billionaires
Speaker 1: is to have self learning AI. The US has no
Speaker 1: comprehensive federal laws governing AI. There are none. While there
Speaker 1: are some guidelines in the federal agencies, there's no giant
Speaker 1: oversight as to what AI should be doing. It could
Speaker 1: be doing that could be a good thing for if
Speaker 1: you're an AI investor, a bad thing if you're concerned
Speaker 1: with certain issues around AI and how would either a
Speaker 1: replacing workers or how it could possibly be interfering in
Speaker 1: our lives. That being said, if it's going to replace
Speaker 1: our federal workforce with artificial intelligence, if this is the
Speaker 1: goal of Doge, whose AI company are we using? Where
Speaker 1: are we bidding this for? Because it's not coming from
Speaker 1: within the company, within the government. We're not building our
Speaker 1: own is it Elon Musks He recently just put a
Speaker 1: ninety seven point four billion dollar bid to buy the
Speaker 1: assets of a nonprofit that controls open Ai. According to
Speaker 1: The New York Times, he's been very interested in building
Speaker 1: an AI company. This is something worth asking as we
Speaker 1: plunge headfirst into our new world. I think it could
Speaker 1: be a real problem when it comes to Doge is
Speaker 1: that Democrats and Republicans are really talking past each other
Speaker 1: at this moment. Republicans are rightfully concerned about spending because
Speaker 1: we are spending way too much, way too much deficit,
Speaker 1: way too much debt. They're completely and totally right and
Speaker 1: looking past bloated federal agencies to take out the waste
Speaker 1: as a noble cause. And while some Democrats are trying
Speaker 1: to score political points against Donald Trump, who's enjoying the
Speaker 1: most faveriable prole ratings of his entire career. Many are
Speaker 1: right to have concerns with this data. But while they're
Speaker 1: looking at it from the question of Doge holding a
Speaker 1: Social Security number and income record, no one really, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not the real concern. What I'm worried about is
Speaker 1: the future of the government brought to us by our
Speaker 1: tech overlords. Whose AI company is going to be running
Speaker 1: our federal agencies, because it's not one that we've built,
Speaker 1: it's not one that comes from within the government, is
Speaker 1: one that is contracted from out the government. And if
Speaker 1: the people having this access to this quote unquote possibly
Speaker 1: read only files or if they're changing coding, if they're
Speaker 1: the ones getting access for their companies, that is extremely,
Speaker 1: extremely problematic. Hey, we'll be right back after this. I
Speaker 1: am beyond excited to have my guests this week, someone
Speaker 1: who can talk a lot about Doge. My guest, Congressman
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green from the Great State of Georgia's represents
Speaker 1: the fourteenth district since twenty twenty one. Representative Green is
Speaker 1: the chairwoman of the Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee. Congressman
Speaker 1: thank you for being here, having to be on So
Speaker 1: my first first question is very straightforward, how does your
Speaker 1: caucus work with DOGE.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm on the subcommittee Doge Committee, which is on oversight,
Speaker 2: so it's not in caucus.
Speaker 1: Right, Sorry, that's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, caucuses are more like clubs and right, sorry
Speaker 2: about that. Yeah, So this is this, this is a committee,
Speaker 2: and what we will be doing is we'll be doing
Speaker 2: the important work in Congress to make DOGE actually effective
Speaker 2: from the legislative branch of the government. And I think
Speaker 2: this is an incredibly important thing to do because if
Speaker 2: DOGE is only functioning in the executive branch, that means
Speaker 2: and we're going to have every single Obama and Biden
Speaker 2: appointed judge coming out and blocking the important work that
Speaker 2: they're trying to do. We're going to have, you know,
Speaker 2: through Democrats filing all kinds of lawsuits trying to stop
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and Doge, and in any future Democrat administration
Speaker 2: can virtually go through and undo everything that's been done
Speaker 2: with their executive orders.
Speaker 1: So you're trying to get some of the stuff done
Speaker 1: in the legislature where there will be bills to kind
Speaker 1: of reduce the spending as well as which I think.
Speaker 2: You're so yes, We've got to do. We've got to
Speaker 2: pass bills, get them into law, we have got to
Speaker 2: put them in our funding appropriations. We've got to do
Speaker 2: everything we can. Congress has got to get on board
Speaker 2: with DOGE because the American people voted for it. President
Speaker 2: Trump campaigned on it the last few months of his campaign.
Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest pieces. And this is
Speaker 2: what the American people want, and Republicans need to make
Speaker 2: sure we deliver.
Speaker 1: So I think that a lot of Republicans when it
Speaker 1: comes to DOJ, they're very interested in the type of
Speaker 1: ways our tax dollars are being used. So you have
Speaker 1: things like one hundred million dollars for DEI training for teachers,
Speaker 1: nine million dollars in a contract for quote Central American
Speaker 1: Gender Assessment Services. I don't know what that actually means.
Speaker 1: What has been your opinion on the finding so far?
Speaker 2: I think they're outrageous. I share the same outrage that
Speaker 2: the American people, do, you know, think about it like this, Ryan,
Speaker 2: here we are, we're coming up on April fifteenth, and
Speaker 2: many small business owners, many Americans, you know, single moms,
Speaker 2: all kinds of people right now are pulling together their
Speaker 2: financial paperwork where they're going to get ready to file
Speaker 2: their taxes and once again pay the federal government a
Speaker 2: bunch of money that they have worked so hard to earn.
Speaker 2: And at the same time that that part of the
Speaker 2: year is approaching that deadline to pay taxes to the
Speaker 2: federal government, here's people learning about ridiculous expenditures of their
Speaker 2: hard earned tax dollars, and we're thirty six trillion dollars
Speaker 2: in debt. The American people should not only be outraged,
Speaker 2: they should be furious. Now it's too much to even comprehend.
Speaker 1: Now. Elon Musk originally said he was hoping to cut
Speaker 1: two trillion dollars using dog I think I think Congress
Speaker 1: does need to get involved in order to hit that amount.
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of huge spending cuts, are you
Speaker 1: I mean, has any of your fellow members sat there
Speaker 1: and said that they want to institute these kinds of
Speaker 1: spending cuts to make government more efficient.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Actually, it's what we're arguing about. That's what's taking
Speaker 2: us so long with our reconciliation budget is we are
Speaker 2: trying very hard to figure out how to make cuts
Speaker 2: and It's not going to happen overnight. This is something
Speaker 2: that's really going to have to be dialed in because
Speaker 2: you have to understand, not only do we have to
Speaker 2: cut spending, we also have to pass President Trump's Tax
Speaker 2: Cuts and Savings Law. We have to put that back
Speaker 2: into law because it expires this year. But we're also
Speaker 2: adding more tax cuts on top of that. No tax
Speaker 2: on tips, no tax on social Security, no tax on overtime.
Speaker 2: And President Trump is supporting salt. So these are more
Speaker 2: tax cuts that are going to take place on top
Speaker 2: of spending cuts, and we just have to make sure
Speaker 2: that we've got the numbers right to be able to
Speaker 2: deliver on those promises right now.
Speaker 1: Democrats have used Elon Musk as a punching bag in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, specifically around concerns over federal data,
Speaker 1: and some of Republican colleagues of yours have some letters
Speaker 1: to constituents saying that they're concerned, what is your opinion
Speaker 1: and what is the opinion of the subcommittee when it
Speaker 1: comes to oversight, when it comes like handling sensitive data.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's really ridiculous that the Democrats have
Speaker 2: decided to basically make the new bad guy, the man
Speaker 2: that is getting involved in trying to save America from
Speaker 2: our death fil basically into thirty six million dollars in debt.
Speaker 2: It's important to talk about the compounding interest in our debt.
Speaker 2: This year alone, the compounding interest is going to be
Speaker 2: bigger than our military budget, which is close to nine
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars. So for the Democrats to decide that
Speaker 2: they're they're going to make the bad guy, and they're
Speaker 2: going to go out there and protests in front of
Speaker 2: the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce, and
Speaker 2: they're going out there and saying, we're going to to
Speaker 2: defend the unelected bureaucrats, We're defending the government. We want
Speaker 2: to keep spending this money. Elon Musk is bad. He
Speaker 2: is evil. I think that is music to my ears
Speaker 2: because I really want to win the midterms Ryan, and
Speaker 2: I think the Democrats are definitely going down the wrong
Speaker 2: path for making a big fuss over cutting spending.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the image of Chuck Schumer and Maxine
Speaker 1: Water is raising their canes in the air.
Speaker 2: Not exactly, And think about it. On top of that,
Speaker 2: you bring up them, they've been in Congress probably longer
Speaker 2: than me and you have been alive, and they're responsible
Speaker 2: for the debt, and so it's just laughable. They're just
Speaker 2: providing us whenever ending campaign ads that will definitely be beneficial.
Speaker 1: I wonder, though, if there are Democrats on the subcommittee
Speaker 1: who do worry about things like you know, Musk has
Speaker 1: Musk has not it still runs his businesses and he's
Speaker 1: technically got a government employee, and if there's any kind
Speaker 1: of conflict of interest around that, is that something that
Speaker 1: subcommittee would be interested in picking up or at least
Speaker 1: we're viewing and seeing and saying, here's some oversight, here's
Speaker 1: some guardrails, because I think that the concern over guardrails
Speaker 1: has really reached, at least in the media, a very
Speaker 1: very very big concern in some people. Some people have concerned.
Speaker 2: About Oh, I think guardrails are important. That's why the
Speaker 2: Oversight Committee we investigated the Biden crime family, right, there
Speaker 2: were no guardrails, but in place at all we can
Speaker 2: we can look at many Democrats and their connections and
Speaker 2: how they make money. I mean, we're looking at like
Speaker 2: USAID for example, has funded so many NGOs, has funded
Speaker 2: has basically rode alongside the CIA with regime change, in
Speaker 2: foreign wars. They have funded many organizations that George Soros
Speaker 2: is literally aligned with and running, and we know that
Speaker 2: money makes its way back into Democrat campaign offers. I
Speaker 2: don't think that there's I don't have any concerns about
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. You know they're talking about, Oh, Elon Musk
Speaker 2: has people social security numbers. Well, the richest man in
Speaker 2: the world is really not going to go out and
Speaker 2: set up some account with your grandma's Social Security number.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't need to do that.
Speaker 1: So no, I agree. I think the worry over social
Speaker 1: security numbers is very kind of a low iq to argument.
Speaker 1: It's a very dumb down argument to scare people because
Speaker 1: it doesn't really make any sense. And I also think
Speaker 1: that we need to reframe what titles are. If only
Speaker 1: if you're an NGO, but only all your money comes
Speaker 1: from the government, you're not really an NGO.
Speaker 2: Well, you're not even a business, just a federally funded program.
Speaker 2: It's a handout. Basically, it's kind of like welfare giving
Speaker 2: somebody that has three degrees, a master's degree, a PhD.
Speaker 2: So they are lit really the product of Marx's Marxism
Speaker 2: and Communism and universities and then they go out and
Speaker 2: client tell mom and dad that they got our mom
Speaker 2: and mom or dad and dad that they got a job.
Speaker 2: And it's really a federal funded handout. So we just
Speaker 2: as a people need to look at it and go,
Speaker 2: we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt. What can we
Speaker 2: afford and what can we not afford? Yeah, we can't
Speaker 2: afford these these federal handouts for these so called.
Speaker 1: Ng its you're listening to it's a numbers game with
Speaker 1: Ryan Gradowsky. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: There was a.
Speaker 1: Story in the Washington Post about the fact that they
Speaker 1: are looking to possibly people indage are looking to change
Speaker 1: the costs and way we do government work with replacing
Speaker 1: some human workers with AI. What is your opinion of
Speaker 1: replacing workers with federal workers with AI? Do you have
Speaker 1: one or is that something of the subcommittee could look
Speaker 1: at as a possible, you know, way to change up
Speaker 1: and reduce spending. Is obviously AI is much cheaper than
Speaker 1: people are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely is. I support President Trump and the
Speaker 2: federal buyouts for federal workers, and I think that has
Speaker 2: been a wise decision. We have to reduce the federal
Speaker 2: workforce it's the largest employment in the employer in the
Speaker 2: entire country. I think AI can be incredibly helpful. It's
Speaker 2: definitely being used in the private sector, from everything of
Speaker 2: replacing say, for example, and employees at fast food restaurants,
Speaker 2: all the way down to being able to replace construction
Speaker 2: workers by printing homes literally building homes. So I think
Speaker 2: AI is definitely a solution that we'll be looking at,
Speaker 2: and it'll just depend on you know, I don't nail
Speaker 2: down always on a broad issue, just depends on how
Speaker 2: to solve the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree with you, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to give you fedical because I think that's just that's
Speaker 1: when reporters use that gotcha questions. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give you hypothetical. I just I think that it's a
Speaker 1: good question because the federal government doesn't own an AI company,
Speaker 1: so everything will be contracted out, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: when it comes to all of our federal information, all
Speaker 1: of our federal data, I think that having some oversight
Speaker 1: over which is what you're on, oversight over these private
Speaker 1: companies and AI basically running parts of our federal government
Speaker 1: is just worthy of doing. What is your goal, like,
Speaker 1: what is your if you could have, if the whole
Speaker 1: world had to listen, Margine Taylor Green or the whole
Speaker 1: subcommittee of the whole Congress, what it would be your
Speaker 1: goal that DOAGE would do by the time it ends
Speaker 1: in July fourth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: I think the most important thing DOAGE can do is
Speaker 2: effectively reduce the size of the federal government and reduced
Speaker 2: the spending. It's just so overgrown. It is incredibly massive,
Speaker 2: and it really doesn't serve the American people. We also
Speaker 2: have to streamline it, especially in the payment processing centers.
Speaker 2: This is where all the checks get sent out from
Speaker 2: various departments. For example, my hearing on Wednesday on Medicaid
Speaker 2: and Medicare, we investigated improper payments and so we looked
Speaker 2: in deeply at how hundreds of billions of dollars can
Speaker 2: be saved literally by stopping checks from going to dead people,
Speaker 2: going to foreign countries, criminal rings that have used Americans
Speaker 2: ID and used their stolen their data to create accounts,
Speaker 2: and they're literally stealing our money and it's being sent overseas.
Speaker 2: This can all be stopped by literally algorithms in our
Speaker 2: payment processing departments. And you know, those are the things
Speaker 2: we got to do. It's modernization. These are the things
Speaker 2: that you do in your private business that makes your
Speaker 2: business run more efficient, which increases your revenue and increases
Speaker 2: your profit. And so my goal with doged would be
Speaker 2: to transform the federal government to be run like a
Speaker 2: very successful business and serve its customer, which is the
Speaker 2: American people, versus a failing business that's on the verge
Speaker 2: of bankruptcy, which is what we are right now.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, no, and it's it's when I've said this
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show. In two thousand, we
Speaker 1: were expected to pay off our entire national debt by
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and so obviously that didn't happen, and much
Speaker 1: happened in reverse. So I think anything to remedy that
Speaker 1: situation at this point would make it happen. And you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats in the media are pushing the
Speaker 1: idea that ultimately any kind of reduction in government spending
Speaker 1: is going to come with an enormous amount of pain.
Speaker 1: Yet there is over fifty billion dollars in medicaid for
Speaker 1: all that they just discovered in the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: There's all these you know NGOs, as we've talked about,
Speaker 1: is there a way to reduce the size and spending
Speaker 1: a government without middle America or or middle income people
Speaker 1: or lower income people and seniors really being so heavily
Speaker 1: impact that they feel the pain. Because we've talked about
Speaker 1: having Social Security, no tax social Security, no tax on tips,
Speaker 1: tax cuts that help the middle class. You know, what
Speaker 1: would you say to the two progressives who say any
Speaker 1: cut and spending is going to eventually hurt working class people.
Speaker 2: That's just an absolute lie. Cutting spending is going to
Speaker 2: help middle class and low income Americans because it's going
Speaker 2: to lower inflation. And so if we lower inflation, that
Speaker 2: means grocery costs are going to go down, Electricity costs
Speaker 2: are going to go down, the price that the gas
Speaker 2: pump is going to go down, and then we're going
Speaker 2: to be helping the most vulnerable Americans. No tax on
Speaker 2: Social Security is actually the most common sense thing that
Speaker 2: we can do for our grandparents. They should never be
Speaker 2: paying taxes on these Social Security checks anyways. This is
Speaker 2: money that's already been tax This is money that they
Speaker 2: should be paid right back, and they shouldn't have to
Speaker 2: pay Uncle Sam again, who clearly isn't good with handling
Speaker 2: their hard earned money. We're going to be helping those
Speaker 2: single moms and people that are really struggling by cutting
Speaker 2: the deficit. Growing the economy, which is another very important
Speaker 2: piece to this, growing the economy, passing President Trump's Tax
Speaker 2: Cuts and Jobs Act, and making sure that we passed
Speaker 2: his new tax priorities as well well.
Speaker 1: Congressman, I want to thank you so much for being
Speaker 1: on here. I really hope that the Subcommittee takes a
Speaker 1: look at, especially as we move towards AI over any
Speaker 1: kinds of conflicts of interest or which kind of companies
Speaker 1: get it. Because the the nation doesn't own an as system,
Speaker 1: we're going to contract it out. But I think that
Speaker 1: the work that Doge Committee is doing to reduce government
Speaker 1: spending is of the utmost necessary because we are going
Speaker 1: to be in a in a default very very very soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. I really really
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Where can people go to read what
Speaker 1: you're doing, what you're working on on Doge?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, thank you so much. Ryan. They can go
Speaker 2: to my government website, which is green dot House dot gov.
Speaker 2: Green has any on the end. They can subscribe to
Speaker 2: my newsletter. That's something that they'll get monthly. They can
Speaker 2: also follow on my social media at Rep MTG at
Speaker 2: Rep MTG and also our newly formed Doge Committee social
Speaker 2: media as well. So those are all the places they
Speaker 2: can follow along, and I hope they do. Where You're
Speaker 2: going to be doing very great work and I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to it well.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what you guys exposed as
Speaker 1: far as bad government spending and some of the fireworks
Speaker 1: and those subcommittee hearings. Thank you so so much. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you being on. Thanks Ryan, Thank you Congressman Margor
