Bloomberg interview summary Scott Bessent, newly appointed Treasuring Secretary last night. Plus Democrat Reaction to @Doge looking at the payments from our government Scott said: "I believe that this DOGE program, in my adult life, is one of the most important audits of government and changes to government structure we have seen" "I think there are gigantic cost savings for the American people. I think it is unfortunate the way the media wants to lampoon what is going on. These are highly trained individuals. This is methodical and is going to yield big savings" Rep HAKEEM JEFFRIES "They are raiding the government. Attempting to steal taxpayer money" DOGE is organized to cut costs and add efficiency to our Federal Government. I feel the best way to get a handle on costs in a large organization is to take a look at the payment system. When @doge started exposing payments Democrats WENT NUTS about @elonmusk and Doge saying: Rep HAKEEM JEFFRIES "They are raiding the government. Attempting to steal taxpayer money" Sen Elisabeth Warren "Elon Musk has grabbed control of Americas system" The insults of Dems Rep Ayanna Pressley "Elon Must is a Nazi Nepo Baby. He is a godless lawless billionaire" Rep Dave Min "He has broken the law time and time again" Audience "Lock him up, Lock him up" The Truth: Reporter: "Have they at any point this year have the ability to make changes" Scott Bessent "Absolutely not. The ability to change the system sits at the federal reserve. They can make suggestions on how to change the system, but we don't even run the system." Reporter: "Elon Musk Tweeted "Treasury need to stop approving certain payments. Has your staff stopped any payments?" Scott Bessent "We have not." Scott Bessent "Just to put it in perspective, Elon and I are completely in line in terms of cutting waste and increasing accountability and transparency to the American people. I believe that this DOGE program, in my adult life, is one of the most important audits of government and changes to government structure." @laurapdavison @thetrough
