00:04:00.540In the familiar laugh, no longer heard, the empty space at Sunday dinner or the want of a hug or a pat on the back that will never come again.
00:04:11.620Every Gold Star family fights a battle long after the victory is won.
00:04:15.560And today we lift you up and we hold you high.
00:04:26.020We will never, ever forget our fallen heroes and we will never forget our debt to you.
00:04:32.420The president making it clear that as long as he is in office, we will honor those who've given the ultimate sacrifice.
00:04:39.260He said each of the service members who has made the supreme sacrifice for our nation has also left an unfillable void and an unbreakable silence in the lives of all who love them.
00:04:52.260For the families of the fallen, you feel the absence of your heroes every day.
00:04:58.160These are wonderful families, the president said.
00:05:00.280And the familiar laugh, no longer heard, the empty space at Sunday dinner or the want of a hug or a pat on the back that will never come again.
00:05:10.120The president making it clear that this White House says thank you to every man and woman who's given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our great freedoms.
00:05:21.500One of the big reasons why Donald Trump was elected is he promised you, the American taxpayer, that he was going to make sure that your money was no longer being wasted, your tax dollars.
00:05:32.400Well, he's making good on that promise yet again.
00:05:34.900This time, it deals with Social Security and the fact that we've had to remove from the Social Security rolls 12.3 million individuals listed as 120 years old or older.
00:05:50.180That according to the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, known as Doge.
00:05:55.340Now, the discrepancies in the Social Security figures and the alarming ages of some of the individuals listed have garnered national attention over the last several months.
00:06:04.860And as a result, in March, Doge began to update the American people on the massive cleanup begun by Social Security.
00:06:12.880In a March 18th update, Doge said Social Security had marked 3.2 million Social Security number holders aged 120 or older as deceased, warning that there was still more work to be done.
00:06:27.920Over one month later, on April the 24th, Doge provided another update revealing that a stunning 11 million individuals listed as age 120 or more were now being marked as deceased.
00:06:43.760And the most recent update delivered this week by Doge, they revealed that a total of 12.3 million individuals listed as 120 years old or older are now officially marked as deceased in the system.
00:07:01.920Elon Musk brought on stage to talk about this issue Antonio Garcia, and he showed a chart of the new non-citizen Social Security numbers that have also been issued.
00:07:23.240So, Antonio, can you tell us what you, Antonio is helping out with Social Security.
00:07:30.420So just trying to review Social Security where you may have heard that we found 20 million dead people marked as alive in the Social Security database.
00:09:50.540They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325, or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically.
00:09:57.680They were told to do that, make an administrative offense under the last administration.
00:10:02.020And then you go walk across the border.
00:10:03.880They do what's called a release from your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, a notice to appear, which is to appear at a judge.
00:10:11.220The wait times on judges are like average six years.
00:10:22.380Once you're in the country and you've got asylum through one of these pathways, and we map the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document.
00:10:31.220You file a 765, it's the work form, you get this form called the 766, that's the authorization, and then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number.
00:10:56.480It was a massive, large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of the United States and disenfranchise the American people and make it a permanent, deep-blue, one-party state from which there would be no escape.
00:11:12.860Look, if I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure I'd have believed it.
00:11:15.060I went through it myself and mapped it.
00:11:18.420The defaults in the system from Social Security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people, and minimum collection.
00:11:29.100We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid, as an example.
00:11:33.220We've gone through, on every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, this 5.5 million people, in those benefit programs.
00:11:42.120And then what was really, really disturbing us was why.
00:11:46.180And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population, yes.
00:11:54.360And we found some by sampling that actually did vote, and we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service.
00:12:55.800There were some pretty big stories in the past administration that literally got swept under the rug.
00:13:02.160And there are stories that Democrats, certainly those in power, were really hoping they'd never have to worry about again.
00:13:07.900It's part of the reason why they were propping up Joe Biden, even though they knew he wasn't even the president of the United States of America.
00:13:44.520And also the minor leaking of the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
00:13:54.140Yes, the FBI Deputy Director, Dan Bongino, saying that the Bureau is looking at launching investigations into these cases of potential public corruption.
00:14:03.860Bongino said, quote, shortly after swearing in, the FBI Director, Cash Patel, and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption
00:14:11.520that understandably have garnered public interest.
00:14:15.540Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, and you may know him from his podcast, noted that they made the decision to either reopen
00:14:22.340or push additional resources and investigative attention to these cases.
00:14:27.500One case they're looking to target is the FBI investigation to the alleged pipe bomb left near the Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings in Washington, D.C.
00:14:38.700the day before the January 6th Capitol breach, he said.
00:14:43.060The FBI said in 2024 that a $500,000 reward is still in effect for information leading to the arrest of the pipe bomb suspect.
00:14:51.300Earlier in 2025, the former Assistant Director in charge of the FBI Washington field office told CNN that officials are seeking, quote, new leads,
00:15:00.680saying maybe alliances have changed or relationships have changed and it's time to report on the suspect,
00:15:07.200is what he said to the outlet at the time, saying tips from the public really have been very helpful.
00:15:12.700But as I mentioned, we're still trying to identify the suspect.
00:15:15.660So we're trying to release a little more information such that maybe it will jog somebody's memory.
00:15:22.040Other cases that weren't more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine in the White House in July of 2023.
00:15:30.040As well as the massive leak of the Supreme Court's decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in June of 2022.
00:15:38.320Saying it this way, quote, I receive requests, briefings on these cases weekly, and we are making progress.
00:15:45.900If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us, then please contact the FBI.
00:15:52.700Also in his ex-post, Bongino said he and Patel have conducted one media interview together,
00:15:57.900which was with Fox News, as you know, a few days ago, saying, quote,
00:16:02.700we decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done.
00:16:09.620We have chosen to communicate in writing on this platform to fill some of the inevitable information vacuum, saying, quote,
00:16:16.940I try to read as much of your feedback as possible, but the workday is busy.
00:16:22.460And my office is a sensitive, compartmented information facility with limited phone access.
00:16:29.260In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week,
00:16:32.820we will be releasing more information, which will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview.
00:16:39.280One thing is for sure, they are definitely going for more transparency.
00:16:43.180But for the liberals out there that may have been committing crimes, guess what?
00:16:47.780You may have thought you got away with it, and apparently with this administration, you may be very wrong.
