Elon Musk has become one of Donald Trump’s top advisors.
He’s got some big plans to shake up the federal government.
And Megyn Kelly had one piece of advice for Elon Musk that was bad news for Democrats.
Megyn Kelly tells Elon Musk to eliminate taxpayer funder for NPR
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy were tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to head the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
They’re tasked with finding waste, fraud, and abuse to the cut from the federal government’s bloated budget.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was named the head of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) to work with Musk and Ramaswamy on the mission to cut spending.
She pointed to National Public Radio (NPR) being on the chopping block during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly encouraged DOGE to go “Edward Scissorhands” on NPR during a segment on her SiriusXM show.
“NPR gets almost $100 million of taxpayer money a year, $91 million. That’s crazy,” Kelly said. “Armani was out on X yesterday calling attention to a segment he had just listened to where they were saying, women are not the only ones who get periods. I don’t wish to fund that. I don’t wish to fund that message. It is not objective and it is not truthful.”
NPR is taxpayer-funded propaganda
Her guest, BlazeTV’s Stu Burguiere, noted that taxpayer money wasn’t needed in the radio market.
“We don’t need to fund any radio station,” Burguiere said. “People will go out and find their own information that they want. And the NPR is like, imagine I can’t even imagine going through that. It’s coming up through commercial radio where you have to actually work hard to get people to listen to you. That’s not what NPR is. They know that funding’s there.”
He said NPR didn’t have to worry about its left-wing message turning off people because the network knew it had taxpayer money backing it.
“There’s no reason we should be spending one hundred million dollars propping up a crappy radio station that’s just going to spout left-wing lies, even if it was spouting conservative lies or conservative truths,” Burguiere explained. “It still would make no sense for the federal government to be involved in it.”
Kelly was ready to see NPR to get the slash-and-burn treatment from Musk.
“I want to see Edward Scissorhands,” Kelly said. “That’s who I want to see go in and take care of NPR and the likes. Their $91 million.”
“It’s a disgusting journalistic outlet,” Kelly continued. “It’s just propaganda, and that’s fine if you want to label yourself that and just come out openly as left-wing, great, do it. There’s, a market for you. The Left is begging for that kind of crap right now. They’re pretending that they don’t have any outlets, that they’re all right-wing podcasts that control the world.”
NPR is one of the blatant wastes of taxpayer money that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can slash from the federal government.
