0:00.0 | Well, with the announcement that Elon Musk and Vivek will be heading up the Department |
0:06.6 | of Government Efficiency, better known as the Doge, with Elon and Vivek being tagged to run |
0:12.2 | the Department of Government Efficiency, which is not technically a department but will instead |
0:15.9 | be a presidential advisory committee. |
0:17.4 | However, one that I believe the President will actually listen to. This is not your |

1:12.6 | We actually have someone asking the far more important question is, is this even a role of government? |
1:18.5 | Is this even a role of government? |
1:20.4 | Which is wonderful. |
1:22.9 | Because I can't tell you how frustrating it is, having served an elected office, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have people constantly coming up with new ways to expand government in |
