00:00I consent to address the House for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks.

00:04Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.

00:09What do you call it when the world's wealthiest man, leading some of the most innovative companies in history,

00:16offers his unmatched genius to save American taxpayers billions?

00:21You call it a blessing, Mr. Speaker.

00:23And I rise today to urge my colleagues to not let this opportunity slip through our fingers.

00:30For five months, Elon Musk and the Doge team have toiled relentlessly, far outpacing this Congress,

00:37to deliver bold results for the hardworking Americans back home.

00:41They have crushed Social Security fraud, exposed wasteful government agencies, and stopped USAID's disturbing pet projects.

00:49But these efforts are meaningless if we as Congress fail to codify these reforms into law.

00:56No excuses.

00:58No delays.

00:59We must vote on the Doge cuts this week.

01:02Republicans have abundantly praised Doge efforts.

01:06Americans aren't expecting it.

01:08But now is the time to stop talking and start acting.

01:13Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.

01:16For what purpose does the gentleman from Indiana seek recognition?

01:19Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House for one.
