Receiving praise on the internet is a Republican Senator who gave an unreserved speech on Capitol Hill supporting Elon Musk’s efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

John Kennedy, of Louisiana, lauded Musk as a national hero for his relentless audit of government spending under President Donald Trump’s directive.

In his distinct Southern accent, Kennedy stated, ‘They are extremely angry with President Trump and Elon Musk.’

‘People have been shouting as if they are involved in a chaotic prison revolt!’ he announced, expressing disbelief at the criticism aimed at Musk’s thorough financial analysis.

‘Love this Man!’ wrote one X user, with another promptly agreeing, ‘He’s my hero!’

‘Keep this man for the humor. I can imagine it will only get better as he gets older,’ added one user.

‘His is worth sharing with those on the left who are willing to listen and are not completely blinded by their ideologies. The information Mr. Kennedy presents is so clear and compelling. I am so thankful for what DOGE is doing,’ tweeted a fourth.

During his 16-minute speech Kennedy wasted no time in painting a picture of Musk as a modern-day crusader, a genius businessman with a top-secret security clearance.

‘Musk is doing what the American people have wanted for years,’ Kennedy said. ‘But in Washington, common sense is illegal.’ 

Musk was handpicked by President Trump to fulfill a campaign promise: a line-by-line, no-nonsense audit of every single dollar the federal government spends.

‘President Trump issued an executive order and he turned to Mr. Musk and said, ‘I want you to do for me what I said I was gonna do in the election,’ Kennedy explained. ‘I want you to go through all the spending line by line.’

According to Kennedy, the findings thus far have been nothing short of scandalous, exposing a breathtaking level of taxpayer-funded absurdity. 

With each revelation, his voice took on a mix of disbelief and righteous indignation.

Musk’s audit began with USAID, the agency responsible for handling America’s foreign aid budget, a $40 billion behemoth with 10,000 employees. 

Kennedy described it as a bloated, unchecked institution that had become a piggy bank for Washington insiders looking to throw money around the world, regardless of where it ended up. 

Musk highlighted some of the more unusual causes to which fund were directed.

$20 million spent producing a new Sesame Street show in Iraq; $7.9 million funneled into a Sri Lankan journalism project to teach reporters to ‘avoid binary gendered language’; $1.5 million dedicated to LGBT advocacy in Jamaica; $4.5 million spent combating ‘disinformation’ in Kazakhstan; $2 million earmarked for sex changes in Guatemala.

‘We’re literally sending American taxpayer dollars to change people’s genders in foreign countries while our own veterans are sleeping on the streets,’ Kennedy fumed. ‘How does that make sense?’ 

Kennedy’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he repeated each expenditure, punctuating the details with a rhetorical gut punch.

‘I don’t know what the hell binary gendered language is. I think I do. But do you think most taxpayers would support that?’, he asked. 

But the real bombshells came when Kennedy detailed Musk’s discovery of U.S. taxpayer dollars allegedly finding their way into the pockets of terrorist-linked organizations.

$164 million in USAID funding was reportedly used to support radical organizations worldwide with $122 million of that sum allegedly going to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations.

Millions of dollars reportedly flowed to organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas, some of which, according to Kennedy, ‘called for their lands to be cleansed from the impurity of Jews.’

Kennedy’s frustration boiled over as he pointed out the glaring silence from the other side of the aisle.

‘Why aren’t my colleagues talking about that?’ he thundered. ‘How can you look the American people in the eye and support this kind of waste, support this kind of spending porn?’ 

The Senator drew a sharp contrast between the Trump administration’s approach and what he said was the fiscal recklessness he attributed to the Biden and Obama years.

‘For twelve years, all I heard from President Obama and President Biden was ‘Who needs to pay more in taxes?’ Kennedy said. ‘Well, that’s not the issue today. We have a new president, and the real question now is: What the hell happened to all the money?’

Kennedy’s impassioned rebuke of past administrations didn’t stop there. 

He lambasted the $36 trillion national debt, calling it a betrayal of the American people and a direct result of unchecked spending.

‘You don’t get to rack up 36 trillion in debt and then act shocked when someone wants to take a look at the receipts,’ Kennedy scoffed. ‘That’s like setting your house on fire and complaining about the smoke.’ 

‘It takes my breath away,’ he said. ‘Our debt’s growing faster than our economy.’

He then walked the chamber through a staggering timeline of Biden-era spending.

$1.9 trillion on the American Rescue Plan; $1.2 trillion on the so-called Infrastructure Bill; $1 trillion on the Inflation Reduction Act; $280 billion in corporate welfare for Big Tech through the CHIPS Act.

‘And that’s how we got $36 trillion in debt,’ he said. 

The Senator likened Musk’s efforts to that of a wartime strategist exposing the rot within Washington’s bureaucracy even suggesting he should expand his audit beyond USAID, proposing that ‘he go through every agency and look at everybody’s budget.’

‘We ought to be giving Mr. Musk a medal,’ Kennedy declared. ‘We ought to be thanking him.

‘But instead, what do we get? We get Democrats foaming at the mouth, calling him dangerous, saying he’s stealing Social Security numbers. Give me a break!’ Kennedy exclaimed. 

‘This is a guy who puts rockets into space for breakfast and builds cars that drive themselves. I think he can handle a calculator.’ 

Yet, in Kennedy’s eyes, the resistance to Musk’s findings from Democrats was not about process or legality, but about fear.

‘They don’t wanna talk about what he’s found. They just wanna talk about how mean he is,’ he scoffed. ‘Well, he is doing his job. And the American people get it.’ 

Kennedy ended his fiery speech with a direct challenge to Congress to bring Musk in to testify, expose every last dime of wasteful spending and put an end to Washington’s reckless spending spree.

‘We need all the help we can get on reducing our spending because we can’t continue at this pace,’ he warned.

‘You don’t want Musk looking at your budget? Then what the hell are you hiding?’ 

As Kennedy left the podium, his words reverberated beyond the chamber, spreading across social media, where supporters hailed his speech.

‘The tax payer loves what is being done! Keep going!’ praised one user.

‘I’m so disgusted and yet so happy . I’m so happy about the big reveal and yet so disgusted about the spending,’ added another.

‘That’s our guy from here in Louisiana. Kennedy tells it like it is,’ tweeted a third.

‘They are simply doing what they said they were going to do…’ summed up a fourth. 

Musk retweeted the speech without comment.
