Speaker Johnson issued this one warning about Elon Musk that has the Deep State in full panic mode

Donald Trump’s new administration started with a bang.

The President has issued hundreds of executive orders and unleashed Elon Musk on the out-of-control federal government.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson just issued this one warning about Elon Musk that has the Deep State in full panic mode.

Elon Musk recently stated, “The people voted for major government reform, and that’s what the people are going to get. That’s what democracy is all about.” 

We need Congress to grow a spine

This has the Deep State on high alert.

And both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are sweating bullets.

“The problem’s in that room,” Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) said, pointing to the House chamber. “These guys, they talk real tough, but they don’t vote that tough,” he said. 

“We’ve got to get some guts, and people have got to hold us accountable,” Burchett told reporters. 

And Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) said, “We need the waste-cutting,” but more importantly, “We need Congress to grow a spine.” 

Until then, Trump is relying on Musk’s backbone. 

And it certainly appears that Musk and his DOGE team are more than ready to slash and burn. 

“It’s not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses,” the billionaire said. “It’s essential for America to remain solvent as a country.”

And after watching Congress promise and then fail to act for decades, the American people seem ready for action too.

Every day DOGE finds even more bizarre fraud, waste, and abuse that the American people were unaware of.

And that is causing more and more Americans to demand that DOGE’s work continue unfettered.

It’s necessary because Congress hasn’t acted 

Roy argues, “The reason this has been happening is because Congress has been asleep at the switch.” 

He and others have outlined dozens of these projects — including the embarrassment that is USAID — for years.

But then, when they’ve put up amendments to cut the most egregious spending, “a majority of Republicans voted against [it].”

“It’s a new day in town. The president and Elon are exposing it. Now we can demonstrate that those of us who have been fighting this, we’re on the right side.” And if the GOP knows what’s good for it, they’ll “get on board and to work together in Congress and in the administration to support slashing this waste,” Roy said.

For his part, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is enjoying the show. 

“It’s really something,” he told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on This Week on Capitol Hill. 

“The deep state is in full panic mode because Elon Musk and the DOGE team is right over the target, which is why they’re catching so much flak. I tell you, what they’re doing is truly transformational,” he said.

“I met with Elon for an hour on Monday night in his office,” Johnson said. “He’s working out of the Eisenhower building, which is right across … from the White House in the old Secretary of War room. And we laughed about how appropriate that is, because he’s effectively declaring war on the big bureaucracy, because he’s seeking efficiency. And that’s exactly what the American people want, need, and deserve.”

Johnson also said the big question he’s getting is: “Why didn’t Congress know about all of these abuses?” 

His answer is the same as Roy’s. 

“We’ve tried. I’ve been in Congress for eight years. We have a really important oversight responsibility that we’re given in the Constitution … and we’ve tried to dig out and find all these abuses. But surprise, surprise, the agencies of the federal government have been hiding all this. They don’t do full disclosure. They don’t want to show us what’s under the rug. And now Elon is finding it. And it is really getting a lot of attention because it’s absolutely crazy stuff.”

It is truly crazy, and the American people are paying for it.
