DOGE Revolution: Trump and Musk Slash Fraud, Not Benefits, in Federal Overhaul

This podcast dives into Trump’s aggressive federal downsizing under the DOGE initiative, cutting 8-50% of staff across 22 agencies, with RFK Jr. slashing HHS jobs and 13 divisions. Aimed at privatizing the economy, the plan pairs tax and spending cuts, targeting a trillion-dollar reduction, as Elon Musk insists it’s achievable without slashing VA benefits, Social Security, or Medicare. Despite media efforts, public outrage is low—people see cuts as tackling fraud (e.g., 40% of Social Security lost to scams, 15M outdated SSNs lingering since 2008), not services. Musk highlights waste, like a billion-dollar park survey, and pushes transparency via doge.gov, soon to be real-time. HHS faces a major restructure, dropping 10K of its 82K workers. Trump’s resolve, backed by Musk and key secretaries, counters Democratic criticism, which lacks specific objections. The podcast frames this as a fraud-busting, efficiency-driven mission to save the nation from bankruptcy.

Trump to cut between 8-50% of staff at 22 government agencies. RFK plans to slash 290K HHS jobs in the latest DOGE inspired purge of federal workers. Kennedy will eliminate 13 of the agency’s divisions.
To privatize the economy, tax cuts have to be put in place, cuts spending have to happen. All the media is struggling that people are not upset over DOGE not as much as you want to believe. They have done all they can possibly do and Trump is pressing forward. Trump cannot flinch.
DOGE is not cutting VA benefits, social security or medicare. But the fact is we have to do some things to organize these programs or they will not exist. The media has a problem saying that medicare is going to get cut when the HHS department has 24 HR departments. And the American people know that those benefits to the cuts will go to more benefits to the American people.
Elon Musk says DOGE trillion dollar target is quite achievable without services cut. 10K federal health workers to be laid off. The HHS will undergo a major restructuring for the department that now employs about 82K people.
Elon is at the table and that he is close to a time where he will not be in the picture on a daily basis. Cut spending by a trillion and cut budget by 15%, Elon continues to say that it is not just waste it is fraud. A billion dollars for a survey if you like the park, wasted. The corporate corrupt media is not denying the cuts. Elon could not do this without Donald Trump on board and the team putting their lives on hold to save the country and prevent bankruptcy. Everything that is being found can see the transparency of the cuts on doge.gov it is not currently real time but it will be soon. This could not be possible without the support from the secretaries. The democrats can't point to one line items that they oppose; they are just angry. Congress doesn’t have the ability to approve fraudulent spending. The democrats will yell that this is the job of the IG, most of the IG are useless, they are supposed to review departments and cut fraud and abuse and they have not been doing this.
In social security, 40% is fraud trying to shift benefits from a senior to a fraudster. The technology is ancient and is expensive to keep up. There are over 15 million active social security numbers from people that are over the age of 120 in the system; it was found in 2008 and has not been removed.
DOGE is not going in to cut services, they are finding the fraud and waste and updating the computer systems and making sure they stay online and communicate with each other. They are putting the government on a pathway to efficiency and going to share those benefits to the American people.
