Meanwhile, controversy continues over Doge. President Trump announced yesterday in a piece of interesting news that he is considering a Doge dividend, which would essentially take a per capita payment saved by Doge and then pass it back to the American people in the form of a check or a tax cut. Now, there's a case to be made that we actually should use that money to pay down the national debt, because, of course, that is one of the reasons that you're cutting the spending. However, I'd rather the taxpayers have back their money than that that money be blown on random turning the kids gay in Guatemala nonsense. Here's President Trump.

There's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20% of the doge savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt. Because the numbers are incredible, Elon. So many billions of dollars. Billions. Hundreds of billions. And we're thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt and pay down debt.

So, again, I think that. Not a bad idea. How much is DOGE actually cutting is sort of one of the open questions at this point. Because DOGE is working so fast and because they are citing a bunch of different things they're cutting, it's sort of hard to get a handle on what exactly is being cut. Apparently, according to the website for Doge, they account for $16.6 billion at this point of savings via cuts. But there was an error in some of the data that was published at the Doge website. They mislabeled the contract, and as an $8 billion contract was actually an $8 million contract, so you're talking about under $10 billion in actual itemized savings at this point. It may be much, much more than that. It may be less. We don't actually know at this point. The itemized list includes a huge number of failed spending initiatives.

And you can imagine that by the time we go through the entire federal government, it is going to amount to, say, $100 billion. Now, in the vast scope of federal spending, is that going to make a huge dental. You're talking about trillions of dollars that. That is suddenly gonna get clawed back. I seriously doubt it. And herein lies the problem that I've noted for a while. DOGE is doing great work, and I love what they're doing, and I love the idea of naming all these programs because the American people need to be made aware of how much of their money is being wasted. But the reality is the big drivers of America's debt are, of course, the giant entitlement programs. Kevin O'Leary on CNN makes this case. He says, listen, Doge actually needs to be radically increasing the amount of cuts.

I think the issue is they're not whacking enough. There's this concept in private equity when you get a and you go in there, you cut 20% more than your initial read and then you find like a pool of mercury. The organization gels back together again. Always cut deeper, harder. When there's fat and waste. The faa, it's not the people. The code is cobalt. It's from the 60s. It needs capex put into it for the technology to be upgraded to make it safer. Fat like a chicken. All of these agencies are like big fat chickens dripping over barbecues of fat. This is the best barbecue I've ever seen. But I don't think it's happening fast enough. They're not cutting enough. Keep slashing, keep hacking. While you have a 24 month mandate before the midterms. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. More, more cutting. Believe me, it's going to work out just great.

Everybody, people with the nuclear codes cut them to cut everything.

Because if you don't see what they're doing and they can't show you that they're adding value, you whack.

Okay. By the way, this is exactly how a company should be run. If you come in and there's a lot of fat dripping from the edges of the company, you got to cut and cut nearly everywhere. By the way, there's tons of fat that needs to be cut. A Washington Free Beacon report now says that the Biden EPA actually awarded a group linked to Stacey Abrams with no real Track record a $2 billion environmental grant in 2024, which looks very much like just a money laundering attempt to left wing causes. Which of course is what so much of the spending actually is. We'll get to more on this in just one second. First, as social unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the safety of our families is now more crucial than ever. I'm about as pro second amendment as it gets. But the thought of using lethal force is not ideal for everybody.

Which is why you need to check out Burna. And when it comes to protecting my family, I am ready to spare no expense. But I would also love to be able to defend my family without doing the worst thing a human being might have to do. Introducing the Burner Ungun. The non lethal self defense platform. Lightweight, simple to use. It uses an Easy to load 5 round magazine, is powered by an 8 gram CO2 cartridge Burna launchers fire a 68 caliber chemical filled projectile using patented pull Pierce technology where the CO2 canister is only punctured on the first trigger pull, meaning your launcher is always at the ready. It's capable of incapacitating an attacker for over 30 minutes. It's accurate and effective at over 60ft. It requires no permits, no background checks. It's interstate travel. Friendly with Burna. You will be prepared to defend the Burna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both user and aggressor.

Thanks to Burna for sponsoring this video. And if you haven't yet, go check out last week's episode of Ben After Dark on Daily Wire, brought to you by Burna and Democrats are trying to fight back against this and they are doing so unsuccessfully. They have two angles. One is how dare you cut all of our fat. That fat needs to remain. Chuck Schumer, the awful Senate Minority Leader, he tried to say this. Listen, I'm fine with taking a scalpel, but you're using a meat ax. Well, yeah, because the government is as blue as any government in human history.
-

Of course there's some wasteful spending, but you don't use a meat axe and cut everything. We need to look at each program. We need to go through Congress and see what's wasteful and move to eliminate it. And what's very not wasteful, but very much needed. I'll give you one example. They went after community health centers in Medicaid. They're among the most efficient producers of healthcare we have, yet they tried to eliminate them. Makes no sense. They're just using a meat axe and cutting everything, including many things that American families need, want and approve of.
-
Unknown A
So no, actually the Meat act is a good thing and good for Trump and good for Musk for taking the initiative on all of this. Angle number two, Democrats are trying is to find single incidents of cuts that really tug at the heart. And they're having a problem here because it turns out that government employees are not the most sympathetic victims. So for example, here you have Chelsea Milborn, a former federal employee fired from the Education Department, brought on to CNN to cry about it.

I was excited to continue serving in this capacity and they not only tore that out from under my feet, but couldn't even just grant me a layoff and instead place the blame on me that it was my performance and I've gotten nothing but positive reviews. So I feel very much like the message is that my service is valued. They don't care about how this impacts me or people like me. And to me, it's inhumane. It feels like they're ignoring our personhood and not respecting us as human beings or as American citizens.
-
Unknown A
Inhumane. I mean, not respecting you as a human. Like, what if we just don't want you doing the job that you were doing because we don't feel like paying you for that? You are not owed a job. Good luck with this. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer is trying to blame President Trump for airplane crashes. Now they're getting desperate. Here's Chuck Schumer yesterday.

The more Donald Trump and Doge indiscriminately hack away at public agencies, the greater harm to Americans well being and even their safety. The FAA is a good example. Just weeks after the deadliest plane crash in a long time. And just as we see more incidents around the country, President Trump has fired hundreds of FAA workers, including air safety personnel. Firing people whose very job it is to keep air travel safe is nothing short of reckless.
-
Unknown A
Okay, but there's only one problem, which is they have yet to connect any of the cuts to any of the airplane crashes. This is what Delta CEO was saying to Gayle King, who tried the same exact routine yesterday.
-
Unknown D
The Trump administration recently fired many employees of the FAA administration. Do those cuts, do those cuts worry you and do you think that impacts the safety? I know you just said it's the safest way to travel, but after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are very nervous. Do these cuts affect you?
-
Unknown G
The cuts do not affect us. Gail. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the, the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions. But the reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA and the cuts I understand were 300 people and they were in non critical safety functions.

So no, actually it is not President Trump at all. They're having some real trouble, some real trouble out there. Are you tired of the lies and the twist of the mainstream media talking points? Yeah, me too. Join me in my newest series Fact, where I dismantle and bring truth to this tiring mainstream agenda.
