0:00.0 | Thank you all for joining us. We have a lot to get to in the next hour of the readout, |
0:04.0 | including chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Green, let that sink in, leading the first hearing of the |
0:09.3 | Doge subcommittee, the only Doge thing that actually exists in real life, but which will certainly |
0:14.7 | not delve into Elon Musk's glaring conflicts of interest and potential self-enrichment. |
0:20.0 | And remember the toilet paper crisis of 2020, |
0:22.6 | the last time Trump was president, |
