Chapter 1: Who is influencing Trump's administration?
Donald Trump is playing with toy planes in his office, the Oval Office right there. Take a look, though, at that mirror behind you. Zoom in right there. That's real. That's Elon Musk right there watching Donald Trump play with toy planes as Musk is really running the show and just destroying our government.
We just learned this as well, that Doge quietly has deleted its purported five biggest spending cuts that it was celebrating, or perhaps the headline should be lying about last week. So those are now removed from the site.
And here's what we're learning about as well, about 20 to 21 people who worked within the United States Digital Service Office, an office established during the Obama era that's supposed to help with all of the technology and the data. and all of that, they're resigning. They're saying the reason for their resignation is because that they're unable to basically perform their functions.
We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the constitution across presidential administrations. And we are basically being asked to violate our oath of office by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. So they resigned. Let's bring in Democratic Congress member, Robert Garcia.
You know, we saw mass resignations, I think, last week or the week before at the Department of Justice, both at SDNY as well as Maine Justice. We're seeing more mass resignations here. These are important people as well because they kind of hold the infrastructure together across presidential administrations. Just what are you making of all of this, the chaos, the cruelty?
What's going on? I mean, look, this is what Elon Musk has been all about. I think that it's all chaos. It's complete destruction of the federal bureaucracy. And it's also incredibly damaging and hurtful to so many people. I've talked to so many people back home who are frightened. They feel like they're losing their job. They don't know what to do. They had to respond. Elon's crazy.
Send me the five things you did for the week. email, which then retracted. So just a lot of chaos and confusion. And obviously, at the same time, Elon Musk and his tech bro crew are lying and they're putting out savings that are not really happening. And so it's clear. The one thing that's clear with all of this is that Elon Musk is pulling the strings.
And he, for all intents and purposes, is the president. Donald Trump has advocated all of his power and responsibility to Elon Musk. And Elon Musk gets richer by the day. He was just getting more and more and more wealthy. And being the richest man on the planet is not enough for Elon Musk.
I want to show you this, Congress member. There was a press conference held earlier in the day with Caroline Leavitt, the press secretary. She was asked a question about who is the Doge administrator? Is it is it Elon Musk? Who's who's running this thing that's inflicting so much pain on the American people? And they just they just gaslight. I want you to watch this.

Chapter 2: Why are mass resignations happening in the US government?
So if he was watching this now, what would your message be about testifying before the House and letting the American people know what the hell he and Mr. Big Balls and his crew of 19 to 25-year-olds are doing?
Now, Elon Musk, what are you afraid of? Don't be afraid of coming in front of our committee is what I would say to Elon Musk. I'm not sure what there is that he's so afraid of folks like myself or Jasmine Crockett or Maxwell Frost. Just come before us, allow us to ask you some questions to get to the bottom of what's going on. And you should be able to stand in front of the American public
And be honest about what you're actually trying to do. And I think that's something that we've asked for. Republicans shot that motion down unanimously. They don't want Elon Musk to testify because they don't want to be held accountable. It's quite cowardly.
Congressman Garcia, please join us again. At this point, it doesn't feel like, at least amongst the American people, as a Democrat, Republican, independent thing. It really feels like a bunch of tech billionaires are running the show. Literally, you saw that first photo I showed you with Musk in the background, like pulling the strings as Trump's playing with like a toy.
you know and they're like just screwing the people and people like what that what the hell is this like this isn't what i learned about in government class this isn't checks and balances this is some idiocracy authoritarian crap anyway thanks for thanks if you want to say anything else i'll i'll let you get the final word no just thanks for keep reporting the story we gotta we gotta continue to expose you on musk and uh you know turn this around so thanks everybody hit subscribe let's get to five million subscribers and thanks for watching
