In an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will look into defunding NPR. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) previously announced Greene will chair a new subcommittee to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE to cut wasteful government spending. “When we look into a deep dive into this massive problem that caused America to be thirty-six trillion dollars in debt, we’re going to have to go into all kinds of buckets,” Greene said. “And that’s how I’ll be separating things on the oversight subcommittee on DOGE. We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda,” she continued.

Greene said: “I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities.” Newsweek has reached out to several governors of sanctuary states, including New York, Vermont, Oregon, and Colorado as well as the New York ACLU for comment via email on Sunday. Immigration and border security were top issues during the 2024 presidential election. Trump won the election on a platform pledging to enact mass deportations, curb undocumented immigration, and reinforce the southern border. Sanctuary cities and states protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution by federal agents, like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. There is no legal definition of a sanctuary city, but it refers to areas that limit assistance to federal immigration authorities. Like other cities and states, sanctuary jurisdictions receive federal funding. “We want to work for the taxpayers, not the bureaucrats,” Comer previously said. “I come from a business background and have successfully run a construction company my entire adult life. In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired. But for some reason, in government, bad employees—whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed—never get fired,” Greene said. “This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change. I can’t wait to get to work!!” she added. I come from a business background and have successfully run a construction company my entire adult life.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) November 21, 2024 Elon Musk previously suggested to defund NPR after comments about the media’s role in “truth” by the organization’s CEO resurfaced online. “I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done,” Katherine Maher said. “Should your tax dollars really be paying for an organization run by people who think the truth is a ‘distraction?'” Musk commented. Should your tax dollars really be paying for an organization run by people who think the truth is a “distraction”? https://t.co/W79tcJJLxu — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 12, 2024 Fox Business noted: Elon Musk renewed calls on Tuesday to defund NPR after a controversial video of its CEO questioning the importance of truth resurfaced online. Footage of NPR CEO Katherine Maher from an August 2021 Ted Talk reappeared on X Tuesday, sparking new debate over the taxpayer funded broadcaster’s alleged bias, which has come under scrutiny in recent months. In the 10-second clip, Maher questioned the role truth plays in the industry as the then-CEO of Wikimedia. She took over as CEO of NPR in March 2024. “I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done,” Maher told the crowd.

As the scary scene unfolded, a livestream of the sermon suddenly stopped – replaced by an off-camera voice telling those in attendance and those looking on from home to ‘begin to pray.’ Shortly after, Jakes’ team offered a brief explanation on the pastor’s X page, while offering some insight on the senior’s condition. ‘During today’s service, Bishop TD Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour long message,’ the statement read. ‘Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals,’ it went on to insist.

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma placed a hold on the promotion of Lt. Gen. Christopher Donahue that would have elevated him to lead U.S. Army forces in Europe. Donahue is currently a three-star general who was nominated to become a four-star general by President Joe Biden earlier this month. Donahue was one of the top military officials overseeing the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Mullin, who was serving in the House of Representatives at the time of the withdrawal, tried to lead his own outside efforts to extract Americans from Afghanistan, but was repeatedly stymied by the State Department and the Pentagon. Mullin placed a hold on Donahue’s promotion after the Senate approved promotions for hundreds of service members last week, according to The Washington Post. President-elect Donald Trump has promised to fire all senior officers from the Pentagon who were involved in the withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members and the loss of billions of dollars in military equipment. U.S. military sites were taken over by the Taliban and thousands of prisoners, many with terror ties, were released. The Biden administration did not remove any senior military leaders following the chaotic withdrawal, despite security failings that cost the lives of American soldiers and hundreds of Afghans. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Donahue told military investigators that he joined U.S. forces in Afghanistan in the final days of the withdrawal, learning that he was being dispatched to the country on August 16, 2021. The withdrawal ended weeks later on August 30. Donahue rode out on the last plane to leave Kabul. The Pentagon touted Donahue’s qualifications in a statement to the Post. “His appointment comes at an extremely critical time in the European region,” spokesman James Adams said. “We urge the Senate to confirm all of our highly qualified nominees. Holds on our nominees undermine our military readiness.” While Democrats still hold a majority in the Senate, when it comes to military promotions, a single senator can hold up the process. Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama held up hundreds of military promotions in 2022 and 2023 in protest of a Pentagon policy to pay for service members to travel out-of-state for abortions.

President-elect Donald Trump could use the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to create an “economic renaissance” if his incoming administration is able to significantly decrease the number of regulations, a venture capitalist said this past week. Chamath Palihapitiya, who held a fundraiser for Trump earlier this year with fellow tech investor David Sacks, spoke about the potential boons of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy‘s efforts leading DOGE under Trump in the latest episode of the “All In” podcast. NEW: Chamath Palihapitiya says he thinks the U.S. economy could be growing at 5% if it wasn't for excessive regulations, calls on the Trump admin to use DOGE to create a flat tax. ? During the All in Podcast, Chamath said DOGE could ignite an "economic renaissance." "I think… pic.twitter.com/qucDUoFf7c — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 23, 2024 “None of these regulations have expiring dates, and so as a result, I think what you probably have is an incredible restraint on the U.S. economy,” Chamath said while addressing a chart that showed the thousands of regulations federal agencies issued each year. “I think that the U.S. economy could be growing at 4 or 5%, but the reason that it doesn’t grow at 4 or 5% is in that one single chart. It is impossible to be able to live up to your economic potential when you have this burden on your neck,” he said. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The “real opportunity” for DOGE, Chamath posited, is to “basically do whatever it needs to do using the law to wipe as many of these regulations off the books.” He added that it would be “better” to cut them all to “zero” and reenact the ones found to be necessary in a “piecemeal” fashion. Chamath then spoke about a post to X that asked users what they thought about the Internal Revenue Service, and the responses it got from people saying they want a flat tax to replace the U.S. Tax Code. Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy could use DOGE “as a mechanism to shrink the tax code” and “create a flat tax,” Chamath suggested, though he noted that such a drastic change would require approval from Congress. Chamath went on to say that the “idea of just cutting this all the way down and then finding through that process what you actually need, I think can find America 100, 200 basis points of GDP growth.” He continued: “It could be an economic renaissance.” Both DOGE and Chamath have posted to X about the U.S. tax code over the past couple weeks. DOGE shared a graph depicting the millions of words being added to the federal tax code and regulations over the decades. In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words. Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. This must be simplified. pic.twitter.com/2CxJMt1Rcr — Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE) November 17, 2024 “Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year,” DOGE said. “This must be simplified.” In a post to X on Friday, Chamath said: “Replace the US Federal Tax Code’s 7000 pages and millions of words with a simple flat tax. It could fit into a few pages of simple english, make paying taxes simple and enforcement even simpler.”
