President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would not support any Republican who voted against defunding the parent company of NPR and PBS in an upcoming bill that would enshrine DOGE cuts into law. 
Trump urged Republicans in the Senate to back a $9.4 billion rescission package already passed by the House, which would include more than $1 billion in reductions for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the nonprofit that was created by Congress and is funded by the federal government but is not a governmental agency. The House passed the White House&#8217;s proposed package 214-212 last month, and the Senate is expected to vote next week. 
“It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN &amp; MSDNC put together,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The legislation <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-doge-cuts-targeting-foreign-aid-npr-and-pbs">would cut</a> $8.3 billion in foreign spending, including funding for “Net Zero Cities” in Mexico, Iraqi “Sesame Street,” and global LGBTQ+ initiatives, as well as $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In May, Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/ending-taxpayer-subsidization-of-biased-media/">executive order</a> directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, saying the entities were deeply infected with leftwing bias. 
“The [Corporation for Public Broadcasting]’s governing statute reflects principles of impartiality: the CPB may not ‘contribute to or otherwise support any political party,’” the order says. “The CPB fails to abide by these principles to the extent it subsidizes NPR and PBS.  Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter. What does matter is that neither entity presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.”
NPR and several smaller publicly funded networks have challenged the order in court, <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.280953/gov.uscourts.dcd.280953.1.0_1.pdf">arguing</a> that it contradicts previous funding allocations made by Congress and violates the First Amendment. The courts have yet to issue a ruling on the suit, but parts of the argument could become moot if the Senate votes to pull the previously authorized spending. 
Some Republicans, including Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, have already voiced opposition to the proposed cuts. The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-threatens-gop-senators-over-vote-on-doge-cuts-f5a86c19?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> that Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota also indicated he was seeking an exemption for the funding of American Indian public radio stations.

The House passed President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” on Thursday, overcoming significant Democratic opposition and internal Republican hesitancy to hand the president a major legislative victory. 
The Republican-controlled House voted 218-214 to pass the measure shortly after Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) wrapped up an hours-long speech delaying the bill’s advancement. Trump, who imposed a July 4 deadline for its passage, is expected to sign the bill at the White House sometime on Friday.  
&#8220;With one big, beautiful bill, we are going to make this country stronger, safer, and more prosperous than ever before. And every American is going to benefit from this,&#8221; House Speaker Mike Johnson said just before the vote. &#8220;Today we are laying a key cornerstone of America&#8217;s new golden age.&#8221;
To reach the final vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spent hours working with Republican holdouts to get them to back the measure. Once he opened up the vote on advancing the bill to final debate, Johnson said he would keep the vote open as long as needed to secure the votes. 
“It will have all been worth it in the end. And we will meet our July 4 deadline, which everybody mocked when I said it,” Johnson told reporters after midnight on Thursday. 
By 3:30 a.m., Johnson had the votes, and the House voted 219-213 to send the bill to a final debate and vote. 
After that vote, Jeffries spoke for more than eight hours, utilizing a rule that allows House leadership members to speak for as long as they want. During his speech, Jeffries accused Republicans of imperiling the welfare of Americans who rely on programs like Medicaid and food stamps.
Throughout the night Trump also pushed Republicans to back the measure, which makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, increases funding for border security, enacts work requirements for able-bodied recipients of Medicaid and food stamps, defunds Planned Parenthood for a year, funds the “Golden Dome” missile defense program, and ends taxes on tips and overtime. 
“Largest Tax Cuts in History and a Booming Economy vs. Biggest Tax Increase in History, and a Failed Economy,” Trump posted on Truth Social late Wednesday night as the legislation stalled. “What are Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY.”

By morning, Trump was celebrating. 
“What a great night it was. One of the most consequential Bills ever. The USA is the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, by far!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social. 
Republican leadership also celebrated the passage of the bill.
&#8220;From the moment President Trump was re-elected, the Republican Study Committee fought tirelessly with conservatives in and beyond the halls of Congress to shape this historic reconciliation process,&#8221; said Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger. &#8220;As a result of that relentless effort, our members secured transformational provisions that advance the RSC&#8217;s core policy priorities and cement President Trump&#8217;s America First agenda.”
The Senate faced a similar marathon legislative process to pass the bill, spending all of Monday night and Tuesday morning considering amendments before holding a final vote. Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 split after three Republicans refused to vote for the bill. The Senate made several major changes as it received the bill from the House, including moving to cut the solar and wind tax and stripping a provision that would have paused all state regulations of artificial intelligence for 10 years.

Elon Musk said on Friday that while he is taking a step back from his role in the White House, the Department of Government Efficiency, which he helped spearhead, will continue to &#8220;grow stronger.&#8221;
Musk appeared alongside President Donald Trump in the Oval Office for a press conference on the end of Musk&#8217;s time as a &#8220;special government employee.&#8221; During the press conference, Trump praised Musk for his work with the DOGE team, and Musk said he would remain an adviser to the president.
&#8220;This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end. It was a limited-time thing &#8230; but the DOGE team will only grow stronger over time. The DOGE influence will only grow stronger.&#8221;
&#8220;It is permeating throughout the government, and I am confident that, over time, we will see &#8230; a trillion dollars of waste and fraud reduction,&#8221; he added.
Musk, who will return to focusing more of his attention on his companies Tesla and SpaceX — and his mission to get humanity to Mars — added that DOGE still predicts saving the federal government over $160 billion for fiscal year 2025 to 2026. &#8220;And that&#8217;s climbing,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I think the DOGE team is doing an incredible job. They&#8217;re going to continue doing an incredible job, and I&#8217;ll continue to be visiting here and be a friend and adviser to the president,&#8221; Musk continued.

“I think I’ve done enough,” Musk said last week, adding, “If I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I do not currently see a reason.”
Musk faced constant criticism from the Left and Democrats in Washington as he focused on searching for government waste to cut. After he became a senior adviser to Trump and pushed for major government spending cuts, Tesla has been targeted by leftist activists who have set fires to and vandalized vehicles and threatened Tesla dealerships.
Last week, Musk provided some more <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-reveals-more-about-his-decision-to-step-back-from-politics-and-it-involves-humanoid-robots?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Musk+Reveals+More+About+His+Decision+To+Step+Back+From+Politics+%E2%80%A6+And+It+Involves+Humanoid+Robots">insight</a> into his decision to step back from his White House role, writing on X that he believes &#8220;accelerating GDP growth is essential,&#8221; adding that he wants to do so with humanoid robots.
“I have come to the perhaps obvious conclusion that accelerating GDP growth is essential. @DOGE has and will do great work to postpone the day of bankruptcy of America, but the profligacy of government means that only radical improvements in productivity can save our country,” Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1925975507759243741" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.

President Donald Trump promised on Friday that the major spending cuts requested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will be codified after his &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; passes Congress.
Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wK3XzFZ_ac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed</a> DOGE during a press conference with the mastermind behind the waste-cutting effort, Elon Musk, who is taking a step back from his role in the White House to focus on his companies. The &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; pushed by Trump and passed by the House, is currently in the hands of the Senate, where it faces scrutiny from some Republicans over its lack of cuts to federal spending.
&#8220;We are totally committed to making the DOGE cuts permanent and stopping much more of the waste in the months to come,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We want to get our great &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; finished and done. After that, we&#8217;re going to be — we put some of this into the bill, but most of it is going to come later. We&#8217;re going to have it [codified] by Congress.&#8221;
The president promised that the DOGE cuts will result in &#8220;hundreds of billions of dollars&#8221; in savings.
Earlier this week, Musk said he was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; by the &#8220;massive&#8221; bill passed by the House, which he said &#8220;increases the budget deficit&#8221; and &#8220;undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.&#8221;
&#8220;I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-disappointed-by-trump-big-beautiful-bill-doge/">said</a> in an interview with CBS News, &#8220;but I don&#8217;t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.&#8221;
Musk wasn&#8217;t alone in his criticism of the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; In the House, Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio voted against the legislation, citing the federal deficit. Similarly, Sens. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Mike Lee (R-UT), among others, have raised concerns about the legislation.

“Everybody likes a tax cut, but when you’re $37 trillion in debt on the path to over $60 trillion in debt, right when the Social Security trust fund is running out, somebody’s got to be the dad that says, ‘I know everybody wants to go to Disney World, but we just can’t afford it,’” Johnson <a href="https://thehill.com/business/budget/5322665-conservative-furor-doge-cuts/">said</a>.
Sen. Lee <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mike-lee-comes-out-against-current-version-of-trump-s-beautiful-bill/ar-AA1FFaYf">told</a> conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, &#8220;The Big, Beautiful Bill is big [but] isn’t yet as beautiful as it needs to be, but there’s still time to fix it. And the Senate version is going to be more aggressive.&#8221;
&#8220;So we got to address the spending crisis to a greater degree than this bill does,” Lee added.
Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, <a href="https://x.com/StephenM/status/1927572082780520465">said</a> earlier this week that the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; was not the right package to cram through DOGE cuts.
&#8220;DOGE cuts are to discretionary spending. (Eg the federal bureaucracy). Under senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending (only mandatory) in a reconciliation bill,&#8221; Miller wrote. &#8220;So DOGE cuts would have to be done through what is known as a rescissions package or an appropriations bill.&#8221;

‘Totally Committed’: Trump Promises To Codify DOGE Cuts After ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argued on Friday that the country&#8217;s massive debt can be controlled by growing the U.S. economy.
Bessent addressed concerns over President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; adding to the national deficit during a segment with Fox News host Bill Hemmer. A Congressional Budget Office <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2025-05/61422-Reconciliation-Distributional-Analysis.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> released earlier this week said the Republican bill passed by the House on early Thursday morning will add $3.8 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. The national debt is <a href="https://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rapidly approaching</a> $37 trillion as the federal deficit currently sits at over $2 trillion.
&#8220;We think that we can both grow the economy and control the debt,&#8221; Bessent said. &#8220;And what&#8217;s important, Bill, is that the economy grows faster than the debt.&#8221;
He added that Americans should focus on the debt-to-GDP ratio &#8220;because we can grow our way out of this.&#8221; In December, U.S. debt accounted for <a href="https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/government-debt--of-nominal-gdp#:~:text=United%20States%20Government%20Debt:%20%25%20of%20GDP,-1969%20%2D%202024%20%7C%20Quarterly&amp;text=United%20States%20Government%20debt%20accounted,Mar%201969%20to%20Dec%202024." target="_blank" rel="noopener">124%</a> of the nation&#8217;s nominal GDP, which was down from the all-time high of 130.4% in March of 2021.
&#8220;If we change the growth trajectory of the country, of the economy, then we will stabilize our finances and grow our way out of this,&#8221; Bessent continued.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The approach touted by Bessent focuses on reducing taxes, a major part of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; The idea is that lower taxes and deregulation will create a thriving economy and boost manufacturing, sales, and consumer spending, which will in turn increase tax revenue without raising taxes.
Last year, however, the Congressional Budget Office <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59711" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projected</a> that the deficit would continue to outpace economic growth over the next 30 years.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Memorial Day Sale – Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
&#8220;The deficit increases significantly in relation to gross domestic product (GDP) over the next 30 years, reaching 8.5 percent of GDP in 2054,&#8221; the office stated. &#8220;That growth results from rising interest costs and large and sustained primary deficits, which exclude net outlays for interest.&#8221;
During the 2024 campaign, Bessent said that his goal is to &#8220;cut the deficit to 3% by 2028; achieve 3% real economic growth, largely through deregulation; and then add 3 million new barrels of energy per day.&#8221; He told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-07/five-questions-for-trump-adviser-and-key-square-group-founder-scott-bessent?sref=17aozLHf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg</a> that Trump is concerned about addressing the national debt and wants to get it under control &#8220;without causing a recession.&#8221;
Some conservative Republicans raised concerns about Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; not doing enough to cut back on government spending. Two House Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-holdouts-sound-alarm-36t-debt-crisis-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-passes-house-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted against</a> the legislation, citing the federal deficit.
&#8220;While I love many things in the bill, promising someone else will cut spending in the future does not cut spending. Deficits do matter and this bill grows them now. The only Congress we can control is the one we’re in. Consequently, I cannot support this big deficit plan. NO,&#8221; Davidson said on Thursday.
The White House called the two GOP congressmen &#8220;grandstanders.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he likes to see grandstanders in Congress,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said of Trump&#8217;s thoughts on Massie and Davidson. &#8220;What&#8217;s the alternative? I would ask those members of Congress. Did they want to see a tax hike? Did they want to see our country go bankrupt? That&#8217;s the alternative by them trying to vote ‘no.’ The president believes the Republican Party needs to be unified.&#8221;
In the Senate, the bill faces more hurdles as multiple Republicans have raised concerns on numerous topics. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5314189-rand-paul-house-gop-budget-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he will vote against the bill unless they &#8220;take the debt ceiling off of it.&#8221;
“We’ve never, ever voted to raise the debt ceiling this much. It’ll be a historic increase. I think it’s not good for conservatives to be on record supporting a $4 [trillion] or $5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling,” Paul said.

Top Planned Parenthood executives are paid three times more than the average non-profit chief executive officer, according to a new watchdog report on the abortion giant and its affiliates.
The American Life League on Thursday <a href="https://all.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Final-Version-STOPP_CEOcompensation2025.pdf">revealed</a> that Planned Parenthood CEOs have seen their incomes significantly increase in the last few years, even as many of the group&#8217;s facilities <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/us/planned-parenthood-clinics-takeaways.html">face</a> financial problems. The average salary of a Planned Parenthood CEO increased from $317,564 to $352,661 — an 11% increase — between 2020 and 2023, according to tax forms analyzed by the American Life League. 
“Planned Parenthood’s CEOs and its New York headquarters employees continue to see substantial increases in their salaries, even as the organization as a whole claims financial decline,” the report, first shared with The Daily Wire, found. 
Poring through the most recent non-profit financial filings available, the American Life League found that the average CEO of a Planned Parenthood affiliate is paid much more than the average American non-profit CEO
“In the US, the average salary for a nonprofit CEO is roughly $117,000 a year. Planned Parenthood more than triples that with an average annual CEO salary of $352,661,” the report says. “It is extremely clear that Planned Parenthood’s priority is money and the ability to funnel that money back into the pockets of its own CEOs.”
The most recent yearly compensation of Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was $904,014, a 32% increase since 2021, according to the American Life League. 
The report also featured the top 20 Planned Parenthood affiliates by their income and CEO compensation. At the top were affiliates in Los Angeles, Mar Monte, the Pacific Northwest, Orange and San Bernardino Counties, and Greater New York. Additionally, it ranked the top 10 Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs by income.

Planned Parenthood has received hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. According to its most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood received around $699.3 million in federal funding in 2022-2023. That is about 34% of the organization’s annual revenue.

&#8220;Planned Parenthood continues to grow tremendously wealthy, and taxpayers should be outraged at the nearly $700,000,000 given by our government to Planned Parenthood during this last fiscal year,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Abortion remains Planned Parenthood’s main priority, and it admits to murdering at least 392,715 preborn children in the 2022–2023 fiscal year.

American Life League Researcher ​​Katherine Van Dyke, who said that it was &#8220;staggering&#8221; how much the abortion execs were being paid, told The Daily Wire that she would like to see President Donald Trump cut the funding through his Department of Government Efficiency efforts. 
 “We would like to see them defunded,” she said. “We would like people to see from these numbers, we want Americans to know that this is what your taxpayer money is going toward.”

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya promised on Wednesday to bring sunlight to the National Institutes of Health if confirmed as the agency’s director. 
Speaking before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Bhattacharya rebuked the NIH for its behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, which he said did great damage to trust in scientists and academic institutions. Bhattacharya, an outspoken critic of the COVID lockdowns, was one of the first to express concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccine mandates. 
A professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, Bhattacharya promised to bring greater transparency to the American people about the NIH&#8217;s research, which he said had failed in its fundamental mission.
&#8220;The mission of the NIH is to address the health needs the American people have and to expand life expectancy of the American people. And we have not achieved that. It&#8217;s flatlined,&#8221; he said.
This failure, paired with a massive loss in &#8220;trust in the public health establishment&#8221; during COVID, made clear the need for the NIH to reestablish trust with the American people, Bhattacharya said. 
Bhattacharya rose to prominence for his opposition to COVID lockdowns and later his concerns that COVID vaccines posed some health risks, specifically for young men. 
&#8220;Science should be an engine for freedom. Knowledge and freedom &#8230; it shouldn&#8217;t be pushing mandates for vaccines like the COVID vaccines,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The role of the scientist should not be to say that you can&#8217;t send your kid to school for two years.&#8221;
Reflecting on his experience during the COVID pandemic, Bhattacharya said that he was &#8220;tremendously proud&#8221; to advise Florida&#8217;s response to the pandemic, which sent kids back to schools way earlier than California with little to no negative impact.
Bhattacharya condemned the censorship that was pushed by the Biden administration against critics of the vaccine mandates at the time. He said during the pandemic there was a problem of &#8220;censorship and restriction&#8221; of science&#8221; and that the &#8220;root problem was that people who had alternative ideas were suppressed.&#8221;
Bhattacharya said that he himself was the victim of pressure campaigns by the Biden administration and that the Freedom of Information Act requests he filed during the pandemic were returned fully redacted.
&#8220;You can&#8217;t have trust unless you are transparent,&#8221; Bhattacharya said, saying that that Americans should be able to &#8220;see all of the activities of the NIH openly.&#8221;
Other topics discussed during the hearing included proposed cuts to NIH funding of universities and research institutions, as well as vaccines and autism. Moderate Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) pushed Bhattacharya to disavow Trump&#8217;s cap on funding for indirect funding, which he said he would evaluate if confirmed.
Bhattacharya would help allocate tens of billions of dollars in funding if confirmed by the Senate.

Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday morning that one of the Trump administration&#8217;s main priorities is ensuring that the federal government stops &#8220;spending the American people&#8217;s money on garbage.&#8221;
Vance answered questions from former White House Director of Strategic Communications Mercedes Schlapp on stage at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., and detailed the Trump administration&#8217;s focus on cutting government waste and allowing the U.S. economy to flourish. President Donald Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project has scrutinized multiple government agencies, suggesting spending cuts or even total agency overhauls.
&#8220;We have got to stop spending the American people&#8217;s money on garbage,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;Every dollar that we take in and spend, you have to pay for either through taxes or through inflation, and if we spend the American people&#8217;s money more wisely, if we stop taxing and spending the American people to death, that&#8217;s also going to bring relief to all of the pricing pressures that are out there.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to make it affordable to live in this country again. That&#8217;s our mandate, that&#8217;s our goal,&#8221; he added.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/cpac-live-on-daily-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH CPAC LIVE ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
Vance told attendees that &#8220;the whole goal of President Trump&#8217;s agenda&#8221; — from immigration and border policies to DOGE gutting government waste — centers on &#8220;safety and prosperity.&#8221; The vice president said that to accomplish that &#8220;common sense&#8221; goal, the United States must focus on ramping up energy production.
&#8220;Why is that so important? Because, look, we all know grocery prices got too high under Joe Biden&#8217;s leadership. Well, one of the main drivers of groceries is energy,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;Because if the farmers are paying more for energy, then we&#8217;re all paying more for what the farmers grow. And if the truck drivers, who are delivering the groceries, are paying more for fuel, then we&#8217;re all paying more for what the truck drivers are delivering to the grocery store.&#8221;

&#8220;If we unleash American energy, that will do more than anything to drive down the cost for the American people,&#8221; he added.
Vance reiterated a point he has made during previous interviews, saying that lowering prices for the American people is &#8220;going to take some time&#8221; as the Trump administration seeks &#8220;to fix what Joe Biden broke over four years.&#8221;

Vance: ‘We Have Got To Stop Spending The American People’s Money On Garbage’

The United States government is set to spend over $1.5 million in taxpayer money bankrolling a far-left group&#8217;s LGBT mentorship program for children as young as 12 years old in Los Angeles and on-campus activism for K-12 students.
The Lifeworks Mentorship program is one of the initiatives from the Los Angeles LGBT Center that’s benefiting from the financial backing of the federal government, with the Department of Health and Human Services agreeing to put up nearly a million dollars in support of it.
“The LifeWorks one-on-one mentoring program gives LGBTQ+ youth ages 24 and under the opportunity to be matched with an adult in the community,” a <a href="https://lalgbtcenter.org/services/youth-services/lifeworks-mentorship-program/">description</a> from the Los Angeles LGBT Center states, with their site <a href="https://lifeworksla.org/?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=idealist">specifying</a> that children as young as 12 years old can be involved. “Each mentorship is unique, and consists of everything from short- and long-term goal setting, to building their understanding of the LGBTQ+ community.”
The program is framed as a way to give young people role models when families are “not accepting” of “queer youth,” with one mentor saying that “a lot of us have gone through a period of self-parenting.”
“There’s kind of an orphaned quality to LGBTQ youth, because you very rarely have someone to model after,” one mentor said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhQ3sy6er6M&amp;t=5s">video</a> from the organization, with a mentee adding that “there’s just such high rates of family not accepting queer youth.”
The federal government granted  <a href="https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_H79SP082182_7522">$910,000</a> in support of the program, with the funds coming from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, a subagency of the HHS. Most of the grant, $574,000, has already been disbursed, with another $336,000 set to be given to the organization before the conclusion of the grant term in August 2025.
The program isn’t the only effort from the Los Angeles LGBT Center that is backed by the American taxpayer. The organization is set to receive two more grants in the amounts of <a href="https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_NH28CE002689_7523">$250,000</a> and <a href="https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_H79SP080136_7523">$375,000</a> from the HHS, both of which will fund the Lifeworks Community Action Network.
Though the grant site doesn’t detail the program or its operations, the Los Angeles LGBT Center <a href="https://schools.lalgbtcenter.org/community-action-network-can/#">explains</a> that the Community Action Network bolsters LGBT activism at middle and high school campuses.
“CAN works with GSA and LGBTQ clubs on school campuses supporting middle and high school students, helping students and advisors strengthen their school clubs by providing tools on sustainability and recruitment, meeting formats and agendas, and club connectivity, among other things,” the group states, adding that LGBT activists are “trained in facilitation skills to build community and create social change, thereby supporting students on their campuses.”
The training topics range from “LGBTQ competency and awareness,” substance abuse prevention, and “safe spaces and inclusivity.” Both of the two grant terms end in 2027, with funding yet to be disbursed.
The Los Angeles LGBT Center did not respond to a request for comment.
The organization has raked in taxpayer dollars despite being flush with cash, the entity’s <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/953567895">IRS 990 forms</a> indicate. The organization enjoyed a revenue of $162 million in 2023 and paid its previous CEO a salary of $780k, while its chief of staff pulled in $544k. Eleven employees made over $215k each.
The leftwing, taxpayer-funded organization engages in <a href="https://lalgbtcenter.org/programs/policy-advocacy/take-action/">ideologically-driven activism</a> that directly opposes the policies of the current administration. The group claims that President Donald Trump “has pushed for policies that will target LGBTQ+ immigrants” and “threaten the safety and rights of LGBTQ+ immigrants” and also advocates for children to undergo irreversible medical interventions that seek to change their sex despite the risk of sterilization.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> said on Sunday that he told the Treasury Department to stop minting pennies to cut down on costly government waste.  
Trump made the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113977224933701762" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a> on Truth Social, noting that pennies cost more than double the amount to mint than they are worth. 
“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let&#8217;s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it&#8217;s a penny at a time,” Trump posted Sunday night. 
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) program, run by Elon Musk, first flagged the cost of minting a penny last month. 
“The penny costs over 3 cents to make and cost US taxpayers over $179 million in FY2023,” DOGE <a href="https://x.com/DOGE/status/1881928086305870127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X. “The Mint produced over 4.5 billion pennies in FY2023, around 40% of the 11.4 billion coins for circulation produced. Penny (or 3 cents!) for your thoughts.”
The cost of producing all coins increased across the board in the last fiscal year, <a href="https://www.usmint.gov/content/dam/usmint/reports/2024-annual-report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the 2024 annual report from the U.S. Mint. 
“The penny’s unit cost increased 20.2 percent, the nickel’s unit cost increased by 19.4 percent, the dime’s unit cost increased by 8.7 percent, and the quarter-dollar’s unit cost increased by 26.2 percent,” the U.S. Mint reported. “The unit cost for pennies (3.69 cents) and nickels (13.78 cents) remained above face value for the 19th consecutive fiscal year.”
If Trump were to move to get rid of the penny entirely, he would likely need Congressional approval. 
&#8220;The process of discontinuing the penny in the U.S. is a little unclear. It would likely require an act of Congress, but the Secretary of the Treasury might be able to simply stop the minting of new pennies,&#8221; said economics professor Robert K. Triest, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-penny-treasury-mint-192e3b9ad9891d50e7014997653051ba">according</a> to The Associated Press. 
Led by Musk, DOGE has pushed to cut spending across the federal government. For example, the Trump administration slashed the size and scope of the U.S. Agency for International Development after Musk pointed out ideologically driven spending programs. DOGE is currently looking at both the Department of Education and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musks-says-fema-spent-60m-housing-illegal-immigrants-in-luxury-hotels-last-week?topStoryPosition=undefined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FEMA</a>.

President Trump Orders Department Of Treasury To Stop Minting New Pennies

‘So Wasteful’: Trump Tells Treasury Department To ‘Stop Producing New Pennies’

Money

Treasury Department

President Trump is keeping his promises, moving fast and making changes in historic and amazing ways.
On Tuesday, the President of the United States, via his Office of Management and Budget (OMB), put forward a proposal that would temporarily pause $3 trillion in spending from the federal government.
The pause is temporary; much of that spending will go forward.
But the idea is to review all non-mandatory federal government spending. There&#8217;s a lot of mandatory spending in the federal budget that includes Medicare, Social Security, and many aspects of Medicaid. That will all continue, as will various payments to law enforcement, bodies, and defense.
What the order is meant to do is allow a pause for the various branches of the federal government, which are under the control of President Trump, to review spending and ensure all expenses are in accordance with the president&#8217;s wishes and with the wishes of Congress.
So, of course, the Left freaked out, claiming that President Trump is doing something deeply unconstitutional and fascistic.
But here’s the point: You do not get to expand and centralize power of the executive branch for over a century and control every aspect of Americans’ lives, as the Left has done, and then, when your political opponent takes over and uses that power in order to cut back the amount of power the executive branch would be exerting in Americans lives, get to claim that he is a dictator.
You don&#8217;t get to do that. You break it; you bought it. You built this thing, so you can&#8217;t be shocked when the person who takes over decides he&#8217;s going to use the instruments that you created to downgrade the amount of impact that those instruments have on Americans’ everyday lives.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2127-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
On Tuesday, the executive office of the President, the Office of Management and Budget, put out a memo. It <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25506186/m-25-13-temporary-pause-to-review-agency-grant-loan-and-other-financial-assistance-programs.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>: 
<blockquote>The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024, of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.</blockquote>
In other words, “We got elected, and now we&#8217;re going to implement the priorities of the American people.”
This memorandum, according to the OMB, requires federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the president&#8217;s policies and requirements. By the way, this does not include assistance provided directly for individuals. Nothing in the memo itself should be construed to impact Medicare or Social Security benefits.
So, of course, the media, en masse, lied, suggesting that individual benefits from these mandatory social spending programs were going to be impacted by the OMB order.
That&#8217;s false. It&#8217;s a lie. And it&#8217;s being promoted by people who are lying to you. According to the OMB: 
<blockquote>To implement these orders, each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis of all of their Federal financial assistance programs to identify programs, projects, and activities that may be implicated by any of the President&#8217;s executive orders. In the interim, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Federal agencies must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.</blockquote>
One of the great boondoggles in American public life is non-governmental organizations being paid grants by the federal government that are going to Left-wing social organizations on a nonprofit basis.
According to the memo, “No later than February 10, 2025, agencies shall submit to OMB detailed information on any programs, projects or activities subject to this pause. Each agency must pause: (i) issuance of new awards; (ii) disbursement of Federal funds under all open awards; and (iii) other relevant agency actions that may be implicated by the executive orders, to the extent permissible by law, until OMB has reviewed and provided guidance to your agency with respect to the information submitted. OMB may grant exceptions allowing Federal agencies to issue new awards or take other actions on a case-by-case basis.”
It is a lie that this is a blanket nuking of all federal spending.
It is a way of taking a harder look at the federal spending that has grown wildly out of control — spending in which your taxpayer dollars are being used to subsidize groups that, for example, sponsor illegal immigrants or go toward social engineering of the Left, such as transgenderism.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and OMB found that $37 billion was about to go out the door to the World Health Organization, which is an organization that President Trump no longer wants the United States to be a part of. So that wouldn&#8217;t be in line with the president&#8217;s agenda. DOGE and OMB also found that $50 million taxpayer dollars would have gone out the door to fund condoms in Gaza, where Hamas makes them into helium balloons carrying inflammatory devices.
What we are also seeing is malicious compliance here from various people inside the so-called “Deep State,” attempts to humiliate the Trump administration. The Medicaid portal story, which was the biggest story yesterday in the mainstream media, was just silly. The portal was up and running again within hours. What likely happened is that somebody in the Medicaid system pretended they were complying with Trump, but shut down the website to attempt to create a humiliating fiasco for President Trump.
A federal judge, according to CNBC, has put a hold on Trump’s administration order. This will likely end up at the Supreme Court level, and that will determine presumably exactly how far empowerments can go.
It’s a fight worth fighting.

We are about to see a market explosion in the Western world — if capitalism is re-embraced.
It looks as though this is about to happen. The reality is that in the United States, as in most Western countries, the debt levels are reaching the unsustainable — or have already surpassed the unsustainable. The amount of national debt currently carried by the United States is verging on $37 trillion. That means the interest we pay on the national debt will soon — if it has not already — exceed the defense budget every single year into the foreseeable future.
Most of that debt is driven by welfare programs, means-tested welfare programs, badly structured welfare programs, and entitlement programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. All of those programs are the systemic drivers of debt in the Western world.
There are only two possible solutions to this problem, and both have to be applied at once.
First: serious restructuring and cuts to spending programs in the United States. 
Second: unleashing the power of the market to increase the size of the economy, because increasing the size of the pie means larger tax revenue intake and being able to afford more, on a governmental level.
The reason I call attention to this is because what we were set for under Joe Biden and his possible successors was a period of sustained economic stagnation in the United States — before inflation set in. Biden and his team put out a prospectus on what American GDP growth would look like over the course of the next decade, and they essentially forecasted it would come in at lower than 2% from here until as far as the eye can see. That is not enough growth to sustain the sort of spending programs the United States has been undertaking for decades.
At this point, something serious needs to change.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2093-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
A look back through history shows that, quite often, ideological precursors to shifts in the United States happen elsewhere. Possibly the most famous economic example occurred in the 1970s when Chile was run by a dictator named Augusto Pinochet.
Pinochet called in several supply-side economists from the so-called Chicago School of Economics called ”The Chicago Boys.” They were devotees of Milton Friedman, the libertarian economist, and advised Pinochet. Chile subsequently outsized rates of growth after private property rights were reestablished, tax rates were lowered, and a system of law was put in place that eventually led to the downfall of Pinochet himself and the rise of the democratic state in Chile.
Milton Friedman was later asked about what happened in Chile. He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhujtDulmlg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said:</a>
<blockquote>The real miracle in Chile was not that those economic reforms worked so well. Chile is, by all odds, the best success story in Latin America today. The real miracle is not that those economic arrangements worked so well, because that&#8217;s what Adam Smith said. The real miracle is that a military junta was willing to let them do it. See, as I said to begin with, the principles of the military [are] from the top down; the principle of a market is from the bottom up. Now, it&#8217;s a real miracle that a military group was willing to let a bottom-up approach take over. … But I will say that that process led to a situation in which you were able to get [an] election which ended the military junta, and you now have a democratic government. You cannot cite any similar example from the world of entirely socialist states.</blockquote>
So what exactly happened in Chile? There were effectively three main pillars to what the Chicago boys did there. Economic liberalization, meaning fewer trade barriers; an easing of regulation; and an easier capacity to make economic arrangements. Privatization of state-owned companies, gigantic ownership of state-owned companies, was then devolved upon private citizens. And finally, stabilization of inflation took place, which meant a stop to spending money and printing money in order to keep up with inflation.
The same thing is currently happening in Argentina. Javier Milei has undertaken one of the greatest economic reform efforts in modern history — and it is absolutely working. He has brought inflation rates down from the insane to the manageable, and he has done this over the course of just a few months.
The Washington Post has reported on his efforts, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/25/trump-javier-milei/">writing</a>:
<blockquote>Inflation is tumbling, just as he promised, from a peak of almost 300 percent; a long-running budget deficit has turned into a surplus; government bonds, once seen as almost certain to sink back into default, are rallying; and the long-moribund economy is finally starting to rebound,” Bloomberg News reported this month. “Not bad for an outsider with an agenda so radical that people were speculating openly a year ago on how many months he’d last before having to surrender power.</blockquote>
Milei himself has <a href="https://www.economist.com/the-world-ahead/2024/11/20/argentina-the-making-of-an-economic-miracle">said</a>, “What lies ahead in 2025 is more of what we’ve already done: strict fiscal balance, no money growth and deregulation. Argentina has suffered from an overdose of deficits, money-printing and useless regulations. All that needs to go.”
People on the Left are very upset because when this type of action is taken — if you throw people off the welfare dole, for example, because there&#8217;s too much spending on welfare or if you stabilize the currency — what that means quite often is that poverty rates in the very near-term increase. But then, they begin to decline radically, which is exactly what happened with Chile.
Milei remains incredibly popular in Argentina.
The success in Chile was the precursor to the economic revolution that spread across the Western world. The Chilean success was seen as a model by the Reagan administration; it&#8217;s why they pursued tax-cutting. It&#8217;s why they pursued deregulation and privatization of state-owned industries. The same occurred in Margaret Thatcher&#8217;s Britain.
<h3><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a></h3>
The lessons that Milei is pushing in Argentina are being applied to the rest of the Western world. That doesn&#8217;t mean President-elect Trump wouldn&#8217;t have pursued it in the absence of Milei. It does mean, however, a wave of economies are beginning to recognize the stagnating pseudo-socialistic policies that are pushed by so many members of the Left actually end in economic ruin for nations. That is now being disowned.
That’s why the business market is reacting so positively to President Trump&#8217;s election. We are witnessing a working model that has been applied in Argentina, where it was in crisis mode, succeeding. That means crisis efforts have to be undertaken here as well.
If those efforts are applied even on a medium scale in the United States, we are about to see a boom unlocked in the United States, unlike any in modern American history.
