Our mission at DOGE focuses on eliminating bureaucratic regulations, which is not just a preference but a legal mandate from the U.S. Supreme Court. Key rulings have established that agencies need clear congressional authorization for major regulations, and the end of Chevron deference means they can't impose their interpretations on the public. Recent cases also limit agency powers and allow new businesses to challenge old regulations, opening the door for scrutiny of rules spanning decades. We're committed to helping the U.S. government align with the Constitution.

@VivekGRamaswamy - Vivek Ramaswamy

Here’s a key point about our mission at DOGE: eliminating bureaucratic regulations isn’t a mere policy preference. It’s a legal *mandate* from the U.S. Supreme Court: - West Virginia v. EPA (2022) held that agencies cannot decide major questions of economic or political significance without "clear congressional authorization." This applies to *thousands* of rules that never passed Congress. - In Loper Bright v. Raimondo (2024), the Court ended Chevron deference, which means agencies can't foist their own interpretations of the law onto the American people. Over 18,000 federal cases cited the Chevron doctrine, often to uphold regulations, many of which are now null & void. - In SEC v. Jarkesy (2024), SCOTUS restricted the use of "administrative law judges" by agencies. The same agency that wrote the rules shouldn't be able to prosecute citizens in “courts” that it controls. - In Corner Post v. Board of Governors (2024), the Court held that new businesses can challenge old regulations, greatly expanding the statute of limitations & opening many more rules up for scrutiny. So we shouldn't just look at rules passed in the last 4 years, but over the past 4 decades (or more). DOGE is ready help the U.S. government conform to the U.S. Constitution once again. @elonmusk and I are ready to serve. 🇺🇸

An order has been established to create the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOS) to ensure timely implementation of policies. This initiative addresses delays in governmental processes, which can take months to approve. Recent examples highlight the slow response to rulings, such as a Supreme Court decision made six months ago that remains unaddressed. The treatment of individuals involved in the January 6th events has been harsh, with significant sentences handed down. There is ongoing consideration regarding the sentences of two Washington police officers who faced jail time for their actions during that incident, and there is a desire to provide them with leniency.

Some @cnn comments on @elonmusk’s @DOGE efforts. Politicians promised for years to deliver a functional audit and trim the fat; TRUMP finally did it & Washington is freaked out (which makes the American people happy). https://t.co/RNDHcXg4Dm

Video Transcript AI Summary
This is truly an "America First" policy, fulfilling a long-standing public demand. Politicians have promised smaller, more efficient government for years, but only Donald Trump, with Elon Musk's help, is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed. While some disruption is expected, the public desires action. Republicans will likely support this aggressive government audit, including a review of the Pentagon. The goal isn't to weaken the military, but to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Finding inefficiencies and redirecting funds to crucial areas will enhance national security, not compromise it. The American people want this, and it's achievable.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Look. I I think this is absolutely America First. It's needed policy, and it's what people have been asking for for years. And, honestly, politicians have talked about doing this for a very long time. The only difference is they never do it. You've had presidents from both parties say I'm gonna make the government smaller. I'm gonna go in and look at the bureaucracy and make it more efficient. I'm gonna trim where I can, trim the fat. No one ever does it. Reports are written, committees meet, people have phone calls, press conferences are held, and nothing ever happens except the government gets larger and larger. Lo and behold, Donald Trump shows up and throws out the sledgehammer, the instrument of destruction, Elon Musk, to actually do it and do it at lightning speed. This is precisely what voters have been demanding. Is Is he gonna break a few eggs along the way? That's fine. They'll have plenty of political latitude to do it because the action is what's wanted by the American people. Well, I think certainly Republicans are gonna support, what effectively amounts to the most aggressive and needed government audit we've ever had, no matter what agency it is. So, yes, I think the party is by and large gonna support this. And I think the Pentagon is an agency that absolutely should be looked at like any other. I don't want Elon Musk or anyone else going in and saying, we need to shrink the size of our military or somehow reduce our national capacity to wage war or defend the nation. But you can't look at a bureaucracy this size and tell me that there is not waste, fraud, and abuse that could be ferreted out if somebody like Elon Musk and his team, were willing to go in and do it. Of course, they're gonna find things. They'll find things in every single agency, and I think the American people are asking for that. And I have no doubt that you could get rid of some waste, fraud, and abuse in the Pentagon and have no impact on our national security whatsoever. And in fact, maybe you might enhance our national security by getting rid of some duplicative bureaucracy or some things where money is being spent on things that shouldn't be spent on, maybe redirect those things to to more, mission critical items.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The goal is to restore democracy by fixing the feedback loop between the people and the government. An unelected bureaucracy shouldn't have more power than elected representatives; it must be responsive to the people. We also need to address the $2 trillion deficit to avoid bankrupting the country. Reducing federal expenses is essential for solvency. We've found odd instances, like bureaucrats with inexplicably high net worths. Basic payment controls are missing, leading to unauditable expenses. Payments lack categorization, comments, and proper "do not pay" lists. We're adding common-sense controls to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. There are Social Security payments going to people over 150 years old or with no identifying information. We also want to right-size the federal bureaucracy by encouraging eligible people to retire.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We'll take some questions. Elon, go ahead. Speaker 1: Sure. So the, at a high level, you say what is the goal of Dojo or and I think a significant part of this presidency is to restore democracy. This may seem like, well, are we in a democracy? Well, if you don't have a feedback with FX, we'd have to sorry, gravitas can be difficult sometimes. So if there's not a good feedback loop from the people to the government and if you have rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge and then then what meaning does democracy actually have? If the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives in the in the form of the president and and the senate and the house, then we don't live in a democracy. We live in a bureaucracy. So it's incredibly important that we close that feedback loop, we fix that feedback loop, and that the public, the public's elected representatives, the president, the house, and the senate decide what happens as opposed to an a large unelected bureaucracy. This is not to say that there aren't some good there are good people who who, are in the federal bureaucracy, but but you can't have an autonomous federal bureaucracy. You have to have one that's responsive to the people. That's the whole point of a democracy. And so, and if if you look at the if you ask to look the founders today and said, what do you think of the way things have turned out? Or what we have this unelected, fourth unconstitutional branch of of government, which which is the bureaucracy, which has, in a lot of ways, currently more power than any elected representative. And this is, this is not something that people want, and it's it's not it does not match the will of people. So it's just something we've got to we've got to fix. And we've also got to address the the deficit. So we've got a $2,000,000,000,000 deficit. And if this if we don't do something about this deficit, country's going bankrupt. I mean, it's it's really astounding that the, the interest payments alone on national debt exceed the defense department budget, which is shocking because we've got a lot we spend a lot of money on defense. But and and if that just keeps going, we're essentially gonna bankrupt the country. So what what I really wanna say is, like, it's not optional for us to sit to reduce the federal expenses. It's essential. It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country, and it's essential for America to have the resources necessary to provide things to its citizens and not simply be servicing vast amounts of debt. Speaker 0: And also, could you mention some of the things that your team has found, some of the crazy numbers, including the woman that walked away with about 30,000,000, etcetera? Speaker 1: Well, we we we are we do find it sort of rather odd that, you know, there there are quite a few, people in in in the bureaucracy who have a ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position, which is, you know, what what happened to USAID. We're just curious as to where it came from. Maybe they're very good at investing. They, in which case, we should take their investment advice perhaps. But, just this seems to be mysteriously they they get wealthy. We don't know why. Where does it come from? And I think the reality is that they're getting wealthy at taxpayer expense. That's that's the honest truth of it. So, you know, we're looking at, say, well, we just if you look at, say, Treasury, for example, basic controls that should be in place, that are in place in any company, such as making sure that any given payment has a payment categorization code, that there is a comment field that describes the payment, and that if it if a payment is on the do not pay list, that you don't actually pay it. None of those things are true currently. So the reason that departments can't pass audits is because the payments don't have a categorization code. It's like just a massive number of blank checks checks just flying out the building. So you can't reconcile blank checks. You've got comment fields that are also blanks. You don't know why the payment was made. And then we've got this truly absurd, a do not pay list, which can take up to a year for an organization to get on the do not pay list. And this we're talking about terrorist organizations, we're talking about known fraudsters, known aspects of waste, known things that do not match any congressional appropriation can take up to a year to get on the list. And even what's on the list, the list is not used. It's mind blowing. So so what we're talking here, we're really just talking about adding common sense controls that should be present, that that haven't been present. So you say, like, well, how could such a thing arise? That's that seems that seems crazy. But when you understand that that really everything is geared towards complaint minimization, so that that then you understand the motivations. So if people receive money, they don't complain, obviously. But if people don't receive money, they do complain. And and the fraudsters complain the loudest and the fastest. So, then when you understand that, then it makes sense. Oh, that's why everything just they approve all the payments at Treasury because if you approve all the payments, get complaints. But now now we're saying that, no, actually, we we are going to complain. If if money is spent badly, if the if your taxpayer dollars are not spent in a sensible and approvable manner, then that's not okay. Your your tax dollars need to be spent wisely on the things that matter to the people. I mean, these things, like, it's just common sense. It's not it's it's it's not draconian or radical, I think. It's it's really just saying, let's look look at each each of the expenditures and say, is this actually in the best interest of the people? And if it is, it's approved. If it's not, we should think about it. So, you know, there's crazy things like just cursory examination of Social Security, and we've got people in there that are 50 years old. Now do you know anyone 50? I don't. Okay. This they should be on the Guinness Book of World Records. They're missing out. So, you know, that's a case where, like, I think they're probably dead. It's my guess. Or or they should be very famous. One of the two. And then there's a whole bunch of Social Security payments where there's no identify identifying information. Well, why is there no identifying information? Obviously, we wanna make we wanna make sure that people who deserve, to receive Social Security do receive it. And that they receive it quickly and accurately. Also another crazy thing. So, you know, one of the things is like we are trying to sort of right size the federal bureaucracy just to make sure this obviously needs to there needs to be a lot of people working for federal government, but not as many as currently. So we're saying, well, okay, well, let's if if people can retire, you know, with full benefits, benefits, everything, that would be good. They can retire, get their retirement payments, everything. And then we were told this is actually, I think, a great anecdote, because we were told that the the most number of people that could retire possibly in a month is 10,000. We're like, well, why why is that?

That's nothing compared to the numbers that you're talking about. Right? We're ending trillions of dollars in waste, and it'll mean much lower inflation, lower interest rates, lower payments on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and much higher stock markets. I think the stock market's gonna be great. In other words, we will rapidly grow our economy by dramatically shrinking the federal government, and we have to do it.

Trump has signed an unprecedented order to eliminate eight federal agencies, targeting what he calls the Deep State. Agency heads have just seven days to justify their existence. Notable targets include the US Agency for Global Media and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The Voice of America, once a beacon of hope during the Cold War, is now criticized as a propaganda tool. With significant job cuts and program terminations already underway, Trump aims to eliminate $2 trillion in waste by 2026, claiming strong public support for these reforms.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

🚨 INCREDIBLE: Trump just signed an order to ELIMINATE EIGHT federal agencies! Have you ever seen ANYTHING like this??? This is a MASSIVE and UNPRECEDENTED move. Let me break it down for you... 🧵

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

1/ The order is Trump's latest attack on the Deep State, the unconstitutional array of unaccountable "independent" agencies. He's giving agency heads 7 DAYS to justify their existence or face the chopping block. HINT: They can't. https://www.rodmartin.org/p/elections-have-to-matter-independent

Elections Have to Matter: "Independent" Agencies Are Grossly Unconstitutional If Presidents can't control the Executive Branch, elections don't really matter. The Administrative State exists to perpetuate unelected Democrat control, no matter who wins or loses. It has to end. rodmartin.org

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

2/ The targets? EIGHT agencies: - Voice of America's corrupt Marxist parent (USAGM) - Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service - Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars - Arctic Research Commission And more. The question: why is any of this part of government...

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

3/ HUGE: Last night, VOA nominee @KariLake told staff to check emails "IMMEDIATELY." Multiple employees already placed on administrative leave. The $900M agency that Trump's been gunning for since Term 1 is finally on the block 🎯

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

@KariLake 4/ Why this matters: USAGM reaches 100+ countries in 60+ languages. During the Cold War it was a voice of hope to millions enslaved by Communism. No longer. Now it is irredeemably Communist itself!

@XVanFleet - Xi Van Fleet

It’s official. Voice of America VOA is finally shut down!!! Under Mao, listening to Voice of America (VOA) was a crime punishable by death. Yet, many people still risked their lives to tune in, seeking real information from America—the land of freedom. When the ban was finally lifted, VOA became a vital part of my college life. But over the decades, VOA, like all other American institutions, has been heavily infiltrated by American Marxists, transforming it into a propaganda machine against America. This shift is particularly evident in its Mandarin service, which has become a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. One down and more to go! NPR and PBS should be next!

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

@KariLake 5/ Now conservative icon @BrentBozell -- nephew of William F. Buckley and founder of the Media Research Center (conservative watchdog) -- is nominated to lead what's left of it. Brent will take a blowtorch to it. And he should.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

@KariLake @BrentBozell 6/ The mastermind behind this? None other than @ElonMusk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Of course.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

@KariLake @BrentBozell @elonmusk 7/ 🔥 DOGE's impact so far: - 100,000+ job cuts coming - Foreign aid frozen & 83% of programs ENDED - $115B in taxpayer savings - Thousands of wasteful and fraudulent contracts canceled

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

8/ But that's just the warm-up. Trump wants to identify and eliminate $2 TRILLION in waste by July 4, 2026. That's not a typo. Two. Trillion. Dollars. 🤯

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

9/ Don't let the Enemedia lie to you: Americans are LOVING this. Latest Epoch Times poll shows overwhelming support for these cuts. https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/doge-wins-approval-but-many-seek-greater-access-to-findings-epoch-readers-poll-5809682

President Trump speaks to Laura Ingraham more about the lawfare and in particular the lawfare against DOGE. https://t.co/ScBFwguTkc

Video Transcript AI Summary
President Trump stated that a judge from a "very liberal state" ruled against his administration's efforts to shut down USAID, despite the fraud and waste they allegedly uncovered. He guaranteed an appeal, claiming "rogue judges" are harming the country. Trump said tariffs will generate significant revenue, and he doesn't profit from initiatives like "The Trump card." He highlighted car companies building plants in the U.S. instead of Mexico. He believes the judge in the USAID case is a "grandstander" ignoring potential scams within the agency. Regarding Tesla fires, Trump considers them potential "domestic political terrorism" against Elon Musk, whom he now knows and who supported him. He suggested those responsible are likely paid by the political left. Trump claimed he instructed Elon Musk to retrieve astronauts stranded in space, blaming Biden for their extended stay. He praised Musk's genius and linked criticism of Musk to hatred of the U.S. He stated the astronauts will visit the Oval Office after recovering from their time in space.

Speaker 0: Now more of my interview with president Trump. Moving on to Doge, judge Theodore Chuang is a federal district court judge in Maryland, has ruled against the Trump administration's efforts, mister president, to shut down USAID, ordering the government, on an accelerated basis to basically reinstate the agency's statutory functions. Your reaction to this development? Speaker 1: Look at the fraud that we've caught. We've caught so much fraud, so much waste, so many employees that never showed up to work, and we have a judge from a very liberal state who ruled like that. So bad for our country. Speaker 0: So I guess they closed the department. They're gonna have to reopen the department. Speaker 1: It, I guess. Not I guess. I guarantee you. We will be appealing it. We have rogue judges that are destroying our country. Speaker 0: Well, do you believe that at this point, given the totality of these lawsuits, it's a cavalcade of lawsuits, that your administration could be further hampered, your agenda could be slowed down. They're throwing monkey wrenches at you with these judicial rulings. Speaker 1: Well, we have to go through an appellate process. That takes a long time. We have a judge that Speaker 0: Do you have time? Speaker 1: We have a judge. That's the point. We have time. We're gonna be making a lot of money because of tariffs. The good news is we've got it on we're going to very soon be on an even keel. We're gonna be taking in a lot of money, The Trump card, the gold card, whatever they wanna call it, it's okay with me. Whatever's gonna sell better is fine with me. It'd be nice to get a piece, but I don't get a piece. Okay? I get nothing out of it. All I do is wanna make this country successful again. We're taking in tremendous amounts of money. We have car companies that are building here who, six months ago, we're gonna build in Mexico, massive plants. They're building them in The United States. We have Honda. It's going to Indiana. We have them opening up in Michigan. It's amazing what's happening. Speaker 0: But judges for federal judges, district court judges, to order a sitting president to reinstate fired employees that you're the chief executive officer of The United States. You you order that these were agencies Speaker 1: to be reviewed. Employees, many of whom didn't even report to work, many of whom were scamming this country. And you you see the same thing. Could read them off, and I did during various speeches. I read off deal after deal after deal, all big scams. And we have a guy that wants to make a name for himself. You know, in many cases, they're just grandstanders. They wanna make a name for themselves. So we'll appeal it, and hopefully, we will meet with reasonable appeals. You know, I've won great cases on appeals. Speaker 0: Yeah. Well, some of the maybe people weren't fired. Maybe they were temporarily put on suspended. So we'll see how this plays out, but he's very unhappy with what happened at USAID. Speaker 1: Well, he shouldn't be. You know what he should do? He should really look at where the money went. They don't ever do wanna do that. You know, the Democrats always talk about, oh, our constitution's been violent. The one thing they never talk about is where did these billions of dollars go? They never wanna look because when you see where the money went and the scams, it's you don't even have to see anything. Just look at the heading and the scam that they've created, and a judge like him will never look at that. They'll just say, oh, you wanna it sounds so nice. USAID. Isn't it beautiful? But it's a whole big scam, Laura. And a judge like that is so bad for our country. Speaker 0: Well, it'd be interesting to see whether you're able to shrink the size of this government. Every Republican president has claimed a desire to. Even Obama said we have to find waste, fraud, and abuse, but you're doing it the judges are trying to stop you. Speaker 1: We're it. By the way, we're doing it at levels never seen before. Speaker 0: Lunatics are setting fire to Teslas all across the country. Another horrible incident happened in Las Vegas last night. The FBI is on the scene investigating, and there is an ongoing investigation being led by Pam Bondi. In in in what you've seen so far, do you consider what's happening an act of domestic political terrorism against one of your allies? Speaker 1: So Elon is a patriot. And, again, I I hardly knew Elon until the, you know, election. And he turned out that he liked me better than he liked these radical lunatics that were in it, better than Kamala, better than Joe, you know, because he's an intelligent person. He like and he backed me, and he went, and he got very much involved. He thought he actually would go around saying if Trump doesn't win, our country is over. Speaker 0: But do you consider this an act of domestic terrorism? Speaker 1: I think I think so. Why? I think that if and when they catch the people, and I hope they do, the good thing is they have a lot of cameras in those places, and they've caught some already having to do with that. I think that you will find out that they're paid by people that are very highly political on the left. Speaker 0: Meanwhile, it's because of Elon Musk. Everything he did with SpaceX that those astronauts, stranded for nine months, they're finally coming home. Mister president, your reaction to what's unfolding. Speaker 1: So when I came in office, I said, Elon, we gotta get them out. Do you have a rocket ship handy? How many people have a rocket? And Biden left them up. He abandoned them. You know, we could have done this sooner, but Biden didn't want to because he was embarrassed by what happened. So they were up there. They were supposed to be there for a few days. They were there for many months. And now they're coming back. But think of it. Elon's able to do that with his genius, and you have people that hate it. And I really believe these are people that hate our country. It's a big problem. But, you know, they don't there aren't so many of them. There are many more that love our country, and they love our country now more than they have maybe ever in their lives. There's never been a movement like MAGA, like America First, call it, whatever you wanna call it. This is the greatest movement in the history of politics. Speaker 0: What's the next stop for the astronauts? Are they gonna be coming to the White House? Speaker 1: No. They're gonna number one, they have to get better. You know, when you're up there and you have no no pull in your muscle, you have no gravity, you can lift a thousand pounds like this. They have to get they have to get better. It's gonna be a little bit tough for them. It's not easy. You know, they're up a long time. And when they do, they'll come to the Oval Office. Speaker 0: We have a Fox News alert. President

Musk says the Big, Beautiful Spending Bill Undermines His DOGE Work. Musk is trying to prevent a US government default, while Trump is optimizing for it. https://t.co/t1plVYl6PV

@DrInsensitive - Dr. Insensitive Jerk

Trump is Playing 4d Poker DOGE is making headlines, yet Trump is helping congress blow the savings on more spending. What the hell? Here is my theory: DOGE is not about cutting government spending; it's about killing the woke mind virus by pinching off the cash firehose that sustains it. Trump didn't try to cut spending in his first term either. IMO, Trump has decided that Americans are simply too soft, so there is no way to cut government spending until we default on the debt. Any politician who tries will be voted out, so he won't try. Instead, he is optimizing for the default scenario. When you know bankruptcy is inevitable, what do you do? I think Trump has resolved to screw the bondholders as hard as possible, to benefit the rest of us. So he is running up the credit card to buy Infrastructure. Did it seem weird to you that Trump promoted infrastructure spending in his first term, and now again in his second, when we have nothing to show for Obama's trillion-dollar "Infrastructure" packages? Maybe Trump believes that, under his leadership, infrastructure spending will actually buy us some infrastructure. But again, why? The answer is: Infrastructure is a durable good that can't be repossessed. All other forms of government spending are like throwing cash into the wind, and after the default, they will mean nothing. But we will still have the bridges and roads to help us rebuild. If I am correct, Trump will not try to cut spending. Instead, he will try to spend as much as possible on projects that will still be worth something after we default.

What A Shame For DOGE -- Trump Should've Listened To Elon https://t.co/Z6Gr86QVJg

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 recalls the initial excitement and caution around Dogecoin, noting some people were euphoric while others were more cautious about its potential to cut spending. He asks David about the early perception and whether there was fear of losing work or reducing government. Speaker 1 says it was a funny situation because it happened right before the election. He invited Dr. Paul on his show, A Neighbor's Choice, and describes an idea to challenge the “deep state” on Halloween by asking Dr. Paul to help Elon Musk cut $2,000,000,000,000. He explains he asked Dr. Paul if he’d be willing to help, and Dr. Paul responded politely, not seeking a job but willing to help if asked. This led to Elon Musk expressing interest in bringing Ron Paul on board with Doge, generating a big reaction on Twitter, with memes and images, and people saying they would support changes if Ron Paul helped Doge. After the election, however, there was no follow-up, and Speaker 1 suggests Doge did not become the dog that hunts. Speaker 0 adds a cautious tone, saying he doesn’t like to be overly optimistic or pessimistic, but felt compelled to be cautious about Doge due to momentum from large spending, special interests, and the sacredness of liberty within democracy. He wished well but urged waiting to see what happens, noting the momentum might not last. Speaker 2 notes the weekend exclusive that Doge does not exist with eight months left on its charter, highlighting acrimony and negative commentary about Ron Paul’s involvement. He emphasizes that Ron Paul did not intend to join any administration and would help any party that wanted to actually cut government. He suggests it’s easy to become black-pilled about the situation. He contends the president has been captured by DC, describing Gaza, a bloodbath in Gaza, Venezuela, and the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war as ongoing issues. He asserts that Doge was massively popular and that Trump rode that wave into the White House with libertarian support, but as Trump veered away from that stance, his numbers dropped despite claims of improvement on Truth Social. He argues Trump’s declining numbers are evident in major polls, and that the deep state influenced the situation, with the deep state running DC. Overall, the discussion centers on the rise and decline of Doge’s political relevance, Ron Paul’s involvement, Elon Musk’s role, and the broader political environment including Trump’s trajectory, foreign conflicts, and the influence of the “deep state.”

Speaker 0: You know, there is something in the news that I think you know a little bit about and paid a little bit of attention to, and you had the right understanding when it was started when a few people got euphoric about it. But there were a few that were a little more cautious about, you know, Doge. You know? Now how what was it gonna do? Was it gonna cut spending? And it it was something that it was easy to be cynical if you came from a libertarian view. But, David, do you remember that that event when it was started? Tell me, were you super excited? I'm gonna be out of work. There won't be anything to talk about. Government's gonna be cut way back. What are we gonna do? Well, Speaker 1: I tell you Speaker 0: that. Speaker 1: You know, I tell you what, it was a funny story because it was right before the election, and I asked to have you on, doctor Paul, on my, show, A Neighbor's Choice. And I said, okay. What am I gonna talk about? They and you said you're available for your team said he was that you'd be available for Halloween. And I thought, I I got an idea. I'll give the deep state a real fright on Halloween. I'll see if I can get doctor Paul to say he'd help Elon. Let me see if I can get a a yes out of you. So I had you on, and I said, hey. Elon wants to cut $2,000,000,000,000. I think we know the one guy who'd hold him accountable to that. That'd be you, doctor Paul. Would you be willing to help? And, of course, you were very polite and, you know, you said, well, you know, I'm not looking for a job, but I'd be glad to help if he asked. And, all of a sudden, we put that out on Twitter and boom, it's blowing up all over, becomes the number one trending topic. Your name is going all over Twitter. And Elon finds it and says, I'd love to have Ron Paul join Doge too. And all of you all of a sudden, it's a huge sensation. And he's posting funny memes and images, and people are saying, you know, I wasn't gonna vote for Trump, but if Ron gets to help Doge, then I'll crawl through glass to see that happen. So a lot of people were absolutely thrilled and actually made a big impact. But, unfortunately, when I saw that they didn't follow-up after the election with you, I said, you know, I think Doge is not gonna be the dog that hunts after all. You know? Speaker 0: You know, I I never like to be overly optimistic. I I never want to leave everything very down, trodden, and then the world's coming to an end. People should have hope. But in this case, when this came out, I I really, really had to be cautious. I mean, I wished him well, and I'm sure a lot of good libertarians did because there were some good things in there. But I remember expressing this to many people, may have even on the program, that let's wait and see what happens because there's too much momentum. The momentum is there because the the treatment is so horrendous, and that is when you have all this spending and all these special interests and and this this sacredness sacredness of liberty of democracy. Anybody who can put a majority together can get what they want and the wars that were going on. So I was rather pessimistic, but I kept encouraging it. But it seems like it's not gonna last forever. It didn't didn't seem to you that it was doing so well at the beginning, then it sort of faded away quick quickly, but they were trying to close the door and not have us notice. Speaker 2: Well, yeah, mean, the reason we're talking about it is it came out over the weekend. Exclusive DOAGE doesn't exist with eight months left on its charter. You know, there's a lot of acrimony and recriminations about it and, people with negative comments and saying, oh, you know, why why did Ron Paul sign on to this? But, you know, what people don't understand, like you like, David said from the beginning, you weren't joining any administration. You would help any any any party that wanted to actually cut government. And so, Mayne, I think it's easy for us to sit back and be black pilled about the whole thing. Gosh. What could have been? And indeed, the president, unfortunately, has been captured by DC. He's been sucked into the vortex of endless foreign adventures. He calls them peacemaking, but it's peacemaking with warships. So, you know, we've got Gaza. We've got we've got a bloodbath in Gaza. We've got Venezuela. We've got the ongoing Ukraine Russia war, on and on and on. And, unfortunately, as both of you gentlemen know, two things. One, Doze was massively popular. And, David, you're right. I mean, he rode that wave. President Trump rode that wave into the White House. That in libertarian support, rode that into the White House, because it was massively popular. And now that he's veered away from that, look at his numbers. His numbers are in the tank. Despite what he says on Truth Social that his numbers are better than ever, someone underneath that post over the weekend posted the every one of the major polls, and he's down double digits. So it's unpopular to do what he's doing. He should have listened to Elon. Should He have listened to Ron Paul. He should have gone the Doge route. It's not completely his fault. Congress has a huge role because that's where it hit a brick wall. But the you know, president Trump does carry a lot of weight, and he could have pushed a lot through if he'd focused on it. But sadly enough, the deep state got him. The d state runs DC.
