Summary

DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, slated to be run by Trump allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has begun making waves through Washington. Musk and Ramaswamy have already begun putting out preliminary plans for how they might tighten up federal spending to slash the deficit. Even those not known to be fans of the Trump administration, like Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), are conceding that this new department could be a step in the right direction. Congressman Aaron Bean (R-FL) joins the Rundown to explain why he and other Americans are excited for DOGE to get to work targeting government inefficiencies and wasteful spending. President-elect Trump has announced intentions to appoint former WWE CEO Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education. McMahon previously served on the Connecticut State Board of Education for two years before resigning to run for the Senate, a bid she attempted unsuccessfully twice. Wall Street Journal education reporter Matt Barnum joins to explore what the Department of Education could look like under President Trump, as well as the GOP's plan to transfer power back to the states. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
