The government parasite, the billionaire who made money off of American taxpayer dollars. Doge has been a complete and total failure. The only thing it has succeeded in doing is wrecking the federal workforce, enriching Elon Musk and stopping investigations into him. And here is the most infantile, impotent move. Elon Musk put this on his Twitter slash X account. It's his daughter Doge badge. It says the Doge father Doge. Okay, let's talk about this. If you're five and you get a fake badge, you like it? This man is running the federal government, slashing government programs and running around with a badge to make him feel better about himself, to make his insecurities seem less. This is absolutely so ridiculously childish. And you know what else? The cuts that he's alleging they're making, not happening. We find out that Doge's goons total failure to cut spending have been revealed. Now you might remember Donald Trump when he was bought and paid for during the election by Elon Musk. We're going to save $2 trillion off the federal budget. Well, this is actually what's happening and I think this is an overinflation. But here we go. With the clock ticking on his Doge tenure, Musk and his goons have only saved the government an estimated 160 billion, which accounts for a mere 8% of his projected 2 trillion in savings. On top of that, the Penn Wharton budget model found that government spending has actually gone up. And here's what you have to remember, what he's doing. He went in with a chainsaw and we actually saw the ch. Chainsaw. He was holding it. He didn't go in because he's not a forensic accountant. He has no expertise in government workforce. So he goes in and he starts slashing all these positions. But guess what? That is creating higher Numbers in terms of spending. So we see this. Not only is Mask overinflating the money he saved, he is not accounting for the exponentially larger waste that he is creating. Max Dier, the nonprofit's chief executive, told the New York Times. He's inflicted these costs on the American people who will pay for them for many years to come. We have Susie Weil saying, well, Musk is still involved in Doge activities. He is no longer running his business from the White House. Chief of Staff Susie Weil told the New York Post Tuesday. Okay, here's the thing you have to remember. He's firing all these people. They are suing him to get their jobs back. Suing people costs money. The legal system is a huge expense. Not only that, he's ordered to rehire these people by the courts. Then he has to take these federal workers that he's fired and he has to pay them back pay before the judge ordered them back to work. And they're not doing any work. But we're having to pay these people. It is absolutely ridiculous. And then we find that when you fire government workers that have expertise, these jobs pass Latin reports. All these jobs that Elon got rid of, the government just admitted they will have to hire contractors at twice the cost to do the services. This is what happens when you put somebody that has nothing but his own best interest at heart in charge of the federal government who has no experience, no expertise, is not an accountant who is an unmitigated disaster. I mean, he's ringing up women on Twitter, wanting to have babies with them. I mean, he is a nut. And here we have Donald Trump echoing this lie about how much money he is saving the government.
C
Some things where when I heard about him, I put him back. As you know.
B
Stop right there real quick. I hate to interrupt. Donald Trump, he didn't put them back. He is not overseeing Doge. The federal courts reinstated these employees because they were unlawfully terminated. Okay, go back to that.
C
But overall, we've saved hundreds of billions of dollars. Well, the original promise was 2 trillion, went to 1 trillion. That's 150 billion. And heading, you know what it's going to be because we have things that are very at a very high level that are being looked at right now. We also found tremendous waste, fraud and abuse. As you know, we found a lot of fraud. There was a lot of fraud. Fraudulent things were taking place and we ended that. And those people are going to be suffering because of it. Illegal note fraud is a crime. There have been no referrals to the Justice Department on any. Well, you don't know that, do you? How do you know that? Have there been referrals to the. How would you know that? That there were no referrals?
B
Refuses to answer the question.
C
All right, there's been no investigation from the House. I'm asking you, sir. No, you're not asking me. You made a statement, you know. Now I'm asking you. There was a statement that you made there. Had.
B
I'm not answering.
C
Have there been. Yes, there have. So there have been referrals for fraud from the work of. Take a look at some of these things that took place. Millions.
B
Okay, here's the deal. Take a look. We can't take a look because they do not exist. And when he says, we have found high levels of waste, where is it? Show us where it is. You're not showing us because you didn't find it. And then he says, oh, well, there's all this fraud. Terry Moran makes a great point. Well, fraud is a crime. Why haven't you investigated? I mean, you've got Pam Bondi calling domestic terrorism on property crimes against Tesla, so cut me some slack. It's more lies, it's more cover. And then CBS News, they tell us exactly what we needed to know, which is Donald Trump is a liar. But we already knew that. Despite Trump's promise cuts us spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than last year. So you have this guy Elon Musk, that is corrupt. He's putting himself in charge of everything. I think he gets $8 million a day from the US government while firing federal workers that then get reinstated that they then have to give back pay to. So all of costing money, now we're gonna have to hire contractors at twice the rate of the salaried employees to do what he's done. We've got air traffic controller shortages. We have all kinds of issues because Elon Musk was not qualified to do this. What qualified him was over $200 million to Donald Trump. And that is what we have gotten, which is absolutely nothing but more expense, more money gone. And then let's talk about Elon Musk leaving the White House. Now, he has been sleeping at the White House. He has been on every helicopter, Air Force One, he's dancing at Mar A Lago. He's got his kid, little ex, wiping boogers on the desk in the Oval Office, telling Trump to shush. And now he's packed up in his toys and he's leaving. Couple things about this that are really important. First of all, I would love a big breakup controversy because. Because we know Elon Musk loves to go on Twitter and unfollow people and break up with people and, you know, use his social media platform to rail against other people. But here's the thing. We've got mutually assured destruction between Trump and Musk because I believe they have committed so many nefarious acts together. Interestingly enough, his appointment at Doge is supposed to run out at the end of May. So is he going to do that? Well, let's find out. But before we do that, I want to talk to you guys about a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Mother's Day gifts are hard. Mothers never tell us what they want. I have found the perfect gift for my mother. It's an Aura picture frame. Let me just tell you about this frame. You can download all the photos from your phone, you can go on vacation, and while you're on vacation, you can upload the photos. So you're creating a photo album already ready to go during vacation. It is a wonderful, wonderful deal. Aura has a great deal for Mother's Day.

That's Aura A U R A frames.com promo code had it support the show by mentioning us at checkout. Terms and conditions apply. You will not regret it. Your mother will be delighted. Okay, so Elon Musk, he's wrecked his brand. Everyone internationally thinks he is a Nazi because he's doing sick heils. He's tanked the Tesla brand. Nobody wants to drive a Tesla. The stock is in the tank. He has shut down all of the investigations into Tesla. But here's what we find out that he's saying about what he's going to do at the end of his 130 day appointment to Doge when that ends mid May. So he's going to be gone because he can no longer serve in that capacity. Well, this is what he told Tesla investors starting next month. I'll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla now that the major work of establishing the Department of Government Efficiency is done. Must said, adding that he will continue his work with Doge for as long as the President would like me to do so, and as long as it's useful. Okay, so now we have another opportunity for Congress to go in and say his appointments ended. He has to go Congress. Get him in front of a committee subpoena his records. My guess is that the billions of dollars, I think 160 billion, he said he saved is largely in total because he had one goal, wasn't to help Americans. It wasn't to cut frivolous spending. It was to enrich himself with more contracts, which he did, and stop investigations into his companies, which he did. This man should be hauled in to every federal committee, transparency all around. Show us what you did. Show us the numbers. And my guess is we will find even less than what he's saying. And then after that, he needs to be hauled into a court of law about the stealing of private citizens data and information and the corruption that he has with Trump. That's on my wish list, my bucket list. Stick with us. For more news, we're trying to get to 1 million subscribers.

Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Podcast: IHIP News
In this fiery episode of IHIP News, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan delve into the tumultuous tenure of Elon Musk, aptly nicknamed "Doge," as he navigates his role within the federal government. The episode titled "Elon Forced to Pack Up and Leave the White House After Massive Failures Exposed!" offers a scathing critique of Musk’s performance, financial mismanagement, and the ensuing political ramifications.
Jennifer opens the discussion by highlighting Elon Musk’s controversial appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Initially hailed as a promising move to slash federal spending by an ambitious $2 trillion, Musk's tenure has instead been marked by significant shortfalls and increased expenditures.
Jennifer Welch [00:53]: "Doge has been a complete and total failure. The only thing it has succeeded in doing is wrecking the federal workforce, enriching Elon Musk and stopping investigations into him."
The hosts meticulously dissect Musk’s financial claims versus the reality of government spending under his watch. While Musk projected a $2 trillion saving, only $160 billion—a mere 8% of the promised amount—has been realized. Furthermore, reports from Penn Wharton reveal that overall government spending has actually increased.
Jennifer Welch [03:45]: "Despite Musk's promise cuts, we spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than last year."
Elon Musk’s aggressive restructuring led to the mass firing of federal workers, many of whom are now suing for reinstatement and back pay. This not only incurs substantial legal costs but also forces the government to hire contractors at twice the usual rate to maintain essential services.
Jennifer Welch [05:18]: "He's firing all these people. They are suing him to get their jobs back. Suing people costs money."
Criticism escalates as Welch and Sullivan point out Musk’s lack of qualifications to manage government operations. Holding a metaphorical "chainsaw," Musk's approach to slashing positions without proper expertise has ironically led to increased waste and spending.
Jennifer Welch [04:10]: "He went in with a chainsaw and we actually saw the. Chainsaw. He was holding it... he has no expertise in government workforce."
Beyond financial mismanagement, Musk’s unprofessional behavior, including inappropriate interactions on social media, has further tarnished his reputation. Welch mocks his actions, suggesting a disconnect between his personal conduct and his professional responsibilities.
Jennifer Welch [05:50]: "He is ringing up women on Twitter, wanting to have babies with them. I mean, he is a nut."
The conversation shifts to Donald Trump’s support of Musk’s initiatives, despite clear evidence of their inefficacies. Trump continues to echo Musk’s exaggerated claims about government savings, undermining the credibility of both figures.
Jennifer Welch [04:50]: "And then CBS News, they tell us exactly what we needed to know, which is Donald Trump is a liar. But we already knew that."
As Musk’s limited success becomes undeniable, his tenure is nearing an end. Jennifer discusses Musk’s decision to leave his position, attributing it to his inability to fulfill the role’s demands effectively.
Jennifer Welch [05:37]: "He's packed up in his toys and he's leaving."
Looking ahead, Welch speculates on possible Congressional interventions, including subpoenas and investigations into Musk’s financial practices and his collaborative efforts with Trump. She emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability.
Jennifer Welch [06:00]: "This man should be hauled into every federal committee, transparency all around. Show us what you did."
Wrapping up, Welch underscores the disastrous impact of Musk’s leadership on federal efficiency and public trust. She calls for rigorous scrutiny and legal consequences to address the corruption and mismanagement that have plagued Musk’s administration.
Jennifer Welch [06:20]: "After that, he needs to be hauled into a court of law about the stealing of private citizens data and information and the corruption that he has with Trump."
