In an interview on Fox News with Jesse Watters,Coristine shared insights about his work at DOGE,specifically focusing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/6-7-million-covid-vaccines-given-in-u-s-with-70-of-available-doses-unused\/\" title=\"6.7 million COVID Vaccines Given in U.S. With 70% of Available Doses Unused\">federal government&#8217;<\/a>s payment systems,which he claims lack proper tracking and coding. This results in a important risk of fraud, waste, and abuse of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">taxpayer money<\/a>. Coristine argues that this inefficiency arises because government employees have no incentives too respect taxpayer funds. The segment also touched on the controversy surrounding DOGE and the concerns raised by various Democrats and media outlets regarding the integrity of Elon Musk&#8217;s team in combating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-lawyer-investigating-corrupt-chicago-democrats-will-remain-on-despite-getting-fired-by-biden\/\" title=\"US Lawyer Investigating Corrupt Chicago Democrats WILL REMAIN On Despite Getting Fired By Biden\">government corruption<\/a>.
