- Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss President Trump's third week back in office, DOGE and Elon Musk's efforts to downsize the federal government, working across the aisle in the new Trump administration, and more.
Ro Khanna was one of the biggest advocates for Sam Bankman-Freid and FTX. He's a clown.
🤡
If Congress had to vote every time Elon found wasteful spending in the US govt, they would still be voting till 2028 and beyond
Yeah that’s our constitution
@@IdkwhatsupwithyouWRONG !!!
@@Idkwhatsupwithyou
Did they vote before the wasteful spending ???
You fascist morons will find any excuse to violate our constitution. None of the actual alleged fraud even pans out, a simple analysis from an AI shows all this data to be misleading. You don’t respect the constitution or the truth, you need to be stopped.
Republicans have control of Congress. No excuse for gop to not get wasteful spending passed.
Congress is the problem. Wasting time to confirm something is wasteful is imperious for a Congressman to tell a President.
They already voted to approve this waste why would they NOW vote to stop it.. this guy is an all time clown.
The waste in the government is mainly from military spending and congress is set to increase the military spending budget by 200 Billion dollars this year on top of the nearly 1 Trillion dollars it already spends - making these civilian spending cuts by Musk is a waste of time.
Exactly. Congress is the one who is most likely getting some kick backs from all this wasteful spending. My opinion only, but they behavior is a suspect
🤡
Soo what they have never done, they want to do it now? Everyone has said to stop spending but now it hurts, I don't care for Musk but seeing Congress get a reality check is satisfying
The corruption is literally the most powerful oligarch in history having unfettered access to cut unilaterally to give himself the biggest tax cut in history.
You’re a bunch of nihilistic fascists who have been primed against your own self interest.
Notice this Democrat doesn’t want the public to see what money is spent on . He wants to keep it a secret
You can see what the money is spend on. The OMB prepares annual reports and the GAO audits those reports. I know that would require actual reading and effort. Do you actually understand anything about how gov works? Oh, and by the way, the primary oversight and mechanism to report and investigate gov misappropriation of any kind in any agency/dept is through the Inspector General's office for that agency. Oh no wait, we can't because Trump removed all of them. Totally on the up and up.
He wants it done according to the Constitution, with actual transparency. Not Elon galavanting on X with false and misleading information, so he can gut the government in order to give himself a tax cut.
I don't understand your complaints it ; they appear unnecessary or possibly reflect your political bias. I'm pleased that it's been brought to Light..
@@ilenerosoff7301 Thank you. However, you must understand that the average level of critical thinking in a Trumpanzee is nil.
You another clueless maga.
The people in congress is the ones that is responsible for the wasteful spending
Congress has not done the job of overseeing.
Congress approved all those wasteful spending, and somehow Elon should go to them again to eliminate them??? How Silicon Valley geniuses voted for this guy.
If you find a crime, go to criminal and ask opinion. lol
Republicans have control of Congress. No excuse for gop to not get wasteful spending passed. Musk has 10 contracts with the Fed. He is the last person who should be auditing Fed
Don’t put your faith in a convicted felon!
If Congress could’ve fixed this, they would’ve already fixed this.Elon shouldn’t have to be doing this. That’s what you’re missing.
Elon has 10 contracts with the Fed . He is the last person that should be in the Treasury
If congress could get job done, where does the national debt come from? Talk is cheap.
This is all about giving billionaires tax cuts. There's your wasteful spending.
Yuck! Joe is back. We had some unbiased journalism for a couple weeks. Retire old man, we don’t need your outdated MAGA views!
FIRST STOP ANY FURTHER PAYMENTS LIKE ELON IS DOING! THEN GO TALK TO CONGRESS! STOP PAYING THE PEOPLE FIRST! PRETTY SIMPLE
Whose money exactly do you think it is? Stop paying what? Social security, Medicare, child healthcare subsidies, government salaries?
Congress that is corrupt 😂😂😂
If Congress could’ve fixed this, they would’ve already fixed this.Elon shouldn’t have to be doing this. That’s what you’re missing. Congress is too slow.
The bigger question is why congress who says spend this amount on this thing has not or cannot do exactly the same thing Elon is doing. If I give my kid the credit card to buy clothes for school on Amazon and they buy games instead I can see that. Ask RO or someone that. Ultimately there has to be a public report on what is spent to the taxpayer. Understand some things will be classified but not to the congress.
When spending is transparent and the money can be DAILY at free will checked by the taxpayers who are giving the money, things will change. Transparency in spending cannot happen AFTER the spending, it needs to be happening in real time. It has to change.
The US government hires management consultant firms, they can not find waste and mismanagement? If no, perhaps the government should spend less on management consultants.
These are the rules of our country. We don't always like it. But we must follow it.
Yes, come to congress so we can continue turning a blind eye to wasteful spending and corruption.
I not going to lie, he actually sounds pretty reasonable here.
you guys in congress are a joke
This guy is out of touch, unfortunately. I remember a recent election with a recent candidate who has been tasked with gutting all of this wasteful spending.
Why would we go and vote again and again on this?
Why? Congress never voted on how USAID money was spent!
Trump left the country $7 trillion more in debt than we were in 2016: FACT. Why all the concern about spending now?
because the Democrats are stealing it
Democrat grift off the taxpayer is over!
Leon is not qualified to determine what is waste and what is not. He knows NOTHING about these departments or programs. Get him OUT along with his teenage misfits.
Joe, while you were asleep congress was effectively dissolved.
We might not even need so many representatives in the Congress! Wasting so much time and people's tax dollars to even pay them. How many those politicians are clean and honest, plus efficient?
I have zero faith in congress to cut any spending.
That’s right, Congress has the power to spend, not trump or musk!! Bring it to Congress!!
The democrats need a full reset to jfk style democrats. Their party is dead for years
Come to Congress so we can vote against it
The only thing Congress agrees on is increased spending
Rep. Khanna, where the hell have you been for the last four years... and where have the democrats been for the last 16 years? This misuse of my taxes has been hid from me for a very long time... you should be ashamed!
Really Joe?! The GOP talks about making Pres Obama a one term president, and FL Rep Donald saying he won’t work with the Dems. It’s bad people on both sides. 😉
Ro Khanna is right, there needs to be analysis and debate of whats being cut! I'll be damned a South African billionnaire who gets rich from tax payer subsidies!
NO TIME FOR THAT ELIMINATE ANY FURTHER PAYMENTS AND TALK TO CONGRESS ONCE ITS ELIMINATED!
Didnt congress vote for these ridiculous stuff?
Taxation with Representation........We pay dearly to our Clowns to make us laugh
Drain the swamp
Let the people who are committing the fraud determine if there is fraud lol
The democrats need some warning beforehand. Wonder if they want to go on a fast jog.
Good to see Joe back!
Come to congress so we can quickly send the money to a new account and change the name 😂
That’s not what’s happening is it…
They’re just gutting things
I love the comments b/c it's never anything constructive or solution oriented. It's always anger and this absurd idea that there are simple solutions. Congress should regularly review programs for waste and fraud but that doesn't mean everything is wasteful or fraudulent. We live in a world of nuance be adults and act like it, weirdos.
Joe, the show was great without your view. It is time for you to stay at home and watch.
why didn't Rohit Khanna show up for subpoena on Musk... is congress a second job for you?
Welcome back, Joe!
Geez Ro, that’s the toughest you can talk.
Haha they are so worried. They want to rehide it.
Great idea
So he’s saying they will never fix anything
Joe Kernen is a bonafide clown.
They were just discussing how Trump is essentially bypassing congress and Joe's next question is if Roe and the dems are willing to work with this administration. Give me a break dude.
This Senator Khanna is stupid - the head of the Executive can not have control on the spending! This is crazy! The head of the executive branch has full authority to control the money to be spent!
Like a CEO has to go back to the AGM to cut down the wasteful pantry costs 😆
Fake
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated....
