IS DOGE TURNING ITS SIGHTS ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS?

I’d be happy to do that. We need people who are willing to do that. And when they’re getting over $200,000 a year, that’s plenty of money. Plenty. We need service-oriented people. We’ll get into that here on The Common Sense Show, and we’re brought to you by I Want My Health Back. Do you want your health back?

I’m going to give you the fundamental question that a lot of people are asking now. I’ve been asking this for years. For example, last year, Elizabeth Warren made her $200,000. How does she come away with a $12 million profit? Well, I’m not saying it’s illegal. I don’t know. But I still think that every time that these people run for office and every year they need to file detailed financial disclosures. And we’re not entitled to the information, but it should be someone within government that is, that makes sure everything is on the up and up. Everything needs to be on the up and up.

And it’s not. It’s not. We’ve got people in the Senate, and this has been disclosed. Mitch McConnell, whose wife’s parents control the six major ports in China, and he walks away routinely every year over $20 million. And he’s soft on protecting Taiwan. These are conclusions. Other people, political analysts have raised, but it’s not polite in the mainstream media. It doesn’t want to give it much attention. I’ve heard it mentioned once. Once. This needs to stop. In fact, we need to revamp our entire election system with regard to campaign contributions. Don’t you agree? Well, I’ll talk more about that.

I said, first of all, a doge, I have one criticism. There’s a man that my broadcast partner, Doug Thornton, on the Doug and Dave Intel report, that he knows, who has been fired several times. Over a few day period in the cutbacks. This guy’s a good agent. Doug says he’s solid as a rock. This should not be happening. And doge needs to have fallback to where someone can appeal and just say, hey, look, I’m not in the purview of what you’re reviewing. And they need to have a special panel to review these cases. Because when you’re dealing with this much money and this many personnel, they’re going to be mistakes.

The mistakes need to be corrected. And people say, well, is that what you’re 99% about? Yes, that’s my 1% criticism. I want you to hear what Elon Musk has to say, though, along the lines of what I just addressed. There’s a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I just can’t, I’m trying to connect the dots. I want to play this again. How do they become rich while earning, how do they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that. So something’s, yeah, we’re going to try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening.

Look at the reaction to the crowd. A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I just can’t, I’m trying to connect the dots of how do they become rich while earning, how do they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Yeah, it sounds, nobody can explain that. So we’re going to try to figure it out and certainly stop. Well, for years I’ve been saying the same thing that Elon Musk is saying. If you look at Nancy Pelosi, what’s her estimated wealth of billion dollars on a public servant salary? It’s insider trading for one thing, one that should be illegal.

You and I do it, we go to prison. Because of their close work with regulating this and making a law for that, they get privileged information on terms of what stocks are going to be released, what’s going to rise, what’s going to fall, and they’re taking advantage of it and that’s not right. That’s conflict of interest material. Yet they’ve exempted themselves and their own rules from this. That needs to stop. And it needs to stop today. Today. And if it doesn’t stop, if someone’s not on the record saying I’m voting for this, they need to be primaried out in the next midterm.

Do we agree on this? The other thing that needs to change, and I mentioned this right before I played the Elon clip, the one thing that really needs to change is campaign finance. No corporation, no business should ever be allowed to donate ever to a political campaign for any reason whatsoever. No vacations, no perks, no direct deposits, nothing, nothing. This is government of the people by the people for the people, not government of the corporations by the corporations and for the corporations. This needs to stop immediately. Now you say, well, how do you fund campaigns? I wouldn’t mind having a publicly funded campaign purse where the libertarians get as much money.

The Green Party, which I’m opposed to, gets the same amount of money as the Democrats and Republicans. You decide how many parties you have, don’t make it two. Make it five and fund them equally. The party gets one check that’s equal and they’re allowed to do other fundraising. That would take care of the act blue problem, wouldn’t it? And if you do allow private donations, they only get to donate one time with a cap of $100. All of a sudden then, lobbying becomes a secondary profession. It’s not as profitable. Go in and change that politician’s mind on their vote.

We’re going to give you $2 million bonus. This is what a lot of lobbyists get. This needs to be stopped in its tracks and this would be more effective than anything that Doge does going forward. Oh, and I’m not saying Doge isn’t good. We want to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse. Absolutely want to get rid of it. But we need to get these corporations out of our elections. We need to get them out of the process of making laws. And right now, most of our politicians are owned by corporate interests. That’s why they sing a good tune.

Yeah, I’m fighting for the people on this, my gosh. And then you never see a vote from them in that area of concern. We need serious reform. Now, I’m wondering about the message of Elon Musk and I’ll close with this. When he identifies people as making X amount of dollars on X amount of salary, is Doge going to turn their attention to Congress? Oh, watch how quick they’ll ban Doge. And realistically, you can’t turn it just on the Democrats. That’s selective enforcement. Can’t do that. That’s just as bad as the crime itself. Interesting times ahead. By the way, Elon has sold X.

What? Oh, my gosh, are we going to lose free speech? No, he sold it to his AI company. X is 12. What is it? $12 billion in debt. His company is $80 billion to the good. What I don’t know is, are we going to see increased prices? You can be charged to have an account. You can be charged for post. I don’t know. Because AI is may not take political opinion into account. It may just say cost saving. Not to see what happens with X. I hope nothing happens to X. But there’s a reason Elon Musk made this move.

And it’s not clear why he did. I suspect it’s financial. And I think we’re going to be paying a little bit more to be on X. I’m Dave Hodges. This is the Common Sense Show. Sign up for our newsletter.
