| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's fell again. |
| 0:04.7 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump, Doge, Nukes, and Nopes. |
| 0:11.1 | Reporting suggests that Trump's new energy secretary gave one of Musk's team access to some |
| 0:17.5 | Department of Energy computers. |
| 0:20.0 | Before anybody panics, apparently the people from the |
| 0:23.4 | general counsel's office objected and was basically like, you can't give a 23-year-old access. He'll see |
| 0:30.5 | the big board. In the end, it looks like they gave him access to the Energy Department's Microsoft |

| 1:26.7 | of DOE officials. Energy's security personnel |
| 1:30.6 | are famously people without any sense of humor and very strict when it comes to protocols. |
| 1:37.2 | Because, again, nuclear stockpile. The system he was granted access to does a little bit of cybersecurity for the |
| 1:46.6 | National Nuclear Security Administration, but he reportedly does not have access to the lab network |
| 1:53.1 | that controls the spicy rocks. I'm going to just go ahead and say that you'll probably see |
