There's really no telling how stupid things are going to get.

Yeah, it's something that's that's really hard, damn near impossible to predict.

Yeah.

And one of the main focuses of this incoming Trump administration, which we will talk about plenty on this episode, is cutting government waste.

Yes.

And of course, the primary method.

Well, I don't even know if I can say primary at this point. One method of them trying to do this will be through what's called the Department of Government Efficiency. What's that stand for? Acronym Doge. Oh, or what's, yeah. Yeah, yeah, acronym Doge. Elon Musk and Vivekram Swami, obviously, we'll get into the details a little bit later. But the focus for them is cutting government waste. And you may be wondering, where's this waste coming from?

Yeah, I do wonder.

You know, I'm going to give you facts and figures later on in the episode.

But when we start off, we want to get into it easy.

You don't want to hear numbers.

No, I love conjecture personally.

You don't want to see pie charts.

You don't want to have to do your own research, no. So instead, I think we should just listen to this clip from Fox News and see where government is wasting our taxpayer money. What are America's top pundits saying about this? Look, the government spends like $7 trillion every year. That's like the annual government budget. And there's got to be some places we can cut.

Let's review.

Almost $550,000 went to a Russian lab to run experiments on Katz Brains.

That was spent by the National Institutes of

That's not even like that. 3.7 million dollars of funding went to win a study on monkeys and

gambling. Another NIH fascinating project and the State Department awarding tens of thousands

of dollars for drag shows in Ecuador. $20,000. $20,000 is literally nothing. Here, Senator James Langford rattling off. Compared to $7 trillion, $20,000 is nothing. Yeah. The fucking monkeys and cats, that's probably just what, grants? Yeah. To science research. I thought she was going to say we spent $550,000 on like White House cats or something, and I'd be like, okay, yeah, that's waste. It's research. It's just research on cat brains. You just made it sound like research. Yeah. Or she said we spent thousands of dollars on drag shows. It was $20,000. I don't even know what the purpose of that project was, but that's like, it's not even a percent. It's not even a
