NEW: Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent debunks false claims made by Democrats as they have a national meltdown over DOGE. Question: "Right now there is widespread concern about the DOGE team's access to sensitive payment systems…” Bessent: "These are two Treasury employees. There is no tinkering with the system. They are on read only. They can make no changes." Question: "Have they, at any point this year, had the ability to make changes?" Bessent: "Absolutely not." Question: "If they request the ability to change the system, would you grant that?" Bessent: "No. Again, they have no ability to change the system." Question: "Do you know what kind of access the team has to IRS data or individual taxpayer data?" Bessent: "There is no engagement at the IRS."

Dave Smith & Nicole Shanahan on DOGE: “It is incredible that we now have the ability to data mine the government. They've been data mining us mercilessly for years and years against our very liberties, and the tables are flipped … We have information structure now about our government and it's been accomplished in a matter of weeks, which is incredible.” Full Episode w/ @NicoleShanahan: @ComicDaveSmith @elonmusk @DOGE
