You’ll Never Believe What Rand Paul Did With 2000 Pages of Waste – ‘Magic Tricks’ and ‘Skating Queens’ Exposed!

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is once again spotlighting what he calls absurd government spending in his annual Festivus report, which will be released on December 23. The senator, known for his scrutiny of federal budgets, previewed some of the highlights during a conversation with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

Paul revealed that taxpayer dollars are funding projects he finds baffling, including “ice skating drag queens” and “taxpayer-funded magic.” The remarks left Hannity stunned and set the stage for what’s shaping up to be another fiery report.

“We will talk about electric charging stations, electric cars, but we’ll also be talking about government funding for ice skating drag queens. We’ll be talking about taxpayer-funded magic,” Paul told Hannity.

Hannity, taken aback, jumped in, asking, “Alright, how much money are we spending on the ice skating drag queens?”

Paul admitted he didn’t have specific numbers for every line item but hinted at the scale of wasteful spending. “I can tell you the total will be in the hundreds of billions for the entire Festivus report,” he said. “I don’t have the breakdown on each individual one, but I can tell you that there are millions of dollars being spent on magic. I can tell you that. Also going to be some money for the southern border, but not the southern border of the United States, for the southern border of Paraguay.”

Bipartisan Waste Under the Spotlight

The Festivus report compiles questionable grants and expenditures made by the federal government, often funding obscure research or niche projects. Paul argued that the problem of overspending isn’t exclusive to one political party. “Out-of-control government spending is a bipartisan issue,” he said, holding both Democrats and Republicans accountable.

Much of the waste Paul highlights comes from federal grants, including those issued by agencies like the National Science Foundation. Over the years, his reports have criticized spending on everything from shrimp running on treadmills to studies about the dating lives of quails.

This year’s inclusion of ice skating drag performances and magic shows adds a theatrical twist to the catalog of expenditures, which Paul says undermine public trust in government fiscal responsibility.

Partnering with “DOGE” for Accountability

Paul also shared an update on his work with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. This consulting group, which President-elect Donald Trump plans to use for cutting unnecessary spending, has been spearheaded by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

The senator confirmed that he’s been working closely with Ramaswamy, sending weekly updates. “I’m helping DOGE. I talk to Vivek weekly,” Paul said. “I’ve sent him 2,000 pages of waste that we’ve already discovered.”

Trump has promised sweeping cuts in federal spending during his presidency, and DOGE’s role will be critical in identifying areas for budget reduction. Paul’s contribution to this effort underscores his commitment to exposing what he sees as government excess.

The Ice Skating Debate Heats Up

Paul’s claims of funding ice skating drag queens and taxpayer-sponsored magic raised eyebrows, with Hannity pressing him on specifics. While exact dollar amounts remain unclear, Paul’s focus is on the broader message: holding government accountable for how public funds are used.

The senator’s remarks also sparked discussion about international spending. Paul criticized the allocation of taxpayer money to border security efforts in Paraguay while the U.S. faces its own immigration challenges.

Building Momentum

As the Festivus report nears its release, Paul is positioning himself as a watchdog for fiscal responsibility. His collaboration with DOGE and outspoken critiques of government grants have resonated with fiscal conservatives and libertarians alike.

Whether the ice skating drag queens and magic shows will steal the spotlight or be overshadowed by larger budgetary debates remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: Rand Paul’s Festivus report is likely to spark heated discussions about how the federal government spends taxpayer money.
