All they have to do is call me up. Seriously. Ready to go now. Someone from the state get a message to me of where to go in Austin to sign up. Am fluently bilingual. They ask me at work from which country I come.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." ~Barry Obama, 2008

Apparently, USAID and all this other NGO money is how they funded Antifa and all their other agit-prop/agent provocateur groups. Draining the swamp begins with turning of the government money spigot to these groups.

See the FULL interiew, everyone. It's terrific!

I did a Google video search on "Kudlow Musk" and was directed to the full 17 minute + conversation.

YouTube: Elon Musk exposes why Democrats don’t want ‘waste and fraud’ to be turned off

Great insights on how DOGE operates and the consequences of NOT taking action to root out waste, fraud and abuse at the Federal level.

We tried to tell Bush that this was going on with Solindra. His response was to attack Iraq.

From Wikipedia:

In 2009, the Obama administration co-signed $535 million in loans to Solyndra.

Heavily promoted as a leader in the sustainable energy sector for its unusual technology, Solyndra was not able to compete with conventional solar panel manufacturers of crystalline silicon. The company filed for bankruptcy on September 1, 2011.

The Iraq War was in 2003.

“What motivation do our congressional representatives have to stop this? It doesn’t hurt them when tax dollars are being wasted.”

Our founding father knew the Republic would fail if:

1). The people did not believe in God and try to live by his commandments.

2). Public office holders were not virtuous people.

Musk said a report during the Biden administration showed over $500 billion was fraud per year! I bet you can cut by half as starters the budget and block all the fraud and not notice any change in your life.
