The Elon Musk-Vivek Ramaswamy team-up for the forthcoming Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has many in the Swamp quaking in their boots. On Sunday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was recently appointed as chair of a House Oversight subcommittee that will work with DOGE to cut government waste, set her sights on the leftist, partially-taxpayer funded National Public Radio (NPR).
Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News, Greene said NPR would be put under the microscope:
Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer — who has been tasked with setting up the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, the brainchild of Trump appointees Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — tapped Greene to lead a House panel to fuel the effort.
Speaking on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” Sunday about her impending new role, Greene said DOGE will be combing federal coffers for budgetary inefficiencies across the board.
“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” she told host Maria Bartiromo.
🚨NPR MUST BE DEFUNDED!🚨

NPR is not the only entity that will face DOGE scrutiny, she continued.
“All kinds of programs that don’t help the American people,” she said, also excoriating the Pentagon for failing its seventh consecutive audit.
“I want to talk to the people at the Pentagon and ask them why they can’t find billions of dollars every single year and why they fail their audit,” she said.
She also said she plans to wield her new oversight authority to hold governors and mayors of ultra-migrant-friendly so-called sanctuary states and cities to account.

NPR doesn’t get all its funding from taxpayer dollars—some of it comes from dues and fees paid by member stations and underwriting from corporate sponsors—but it shouldn’t get any public funding at all because basically, it’s a leftist cesspool:

Watching the DOGE in action come 2025 is going to be the most entertaining thing going next year. Expect entrenched bureaucrats and snowflake journalists to freak out to level 11 when Elon, Vivek and Co. actually have the audacity to recommend spending less on something.
I’m looking forward to it. Actually, it’s already started, and Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet:
