The U.S. government has spent over $6 trillion this year—more than the GDP of every country except China. But Donald Trump has a bold new plan to tackle government waste. Introducing: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Their mission? Identify $2 trillion in federal spending cuts. But is this plan realistic, or just political theater?

In this episode, we break down:

📊 Why DOGE Exists
From $840 billion Defense budgets plagued by overpriced contracts to $247 billion in improper federal payments—waste in government spending is out of control. Hear about toilet seats that cost $640, failed IT projects worth billions, and EV stations that don’t exist.

🚀 What DOGE Aims to Do
Can Musk and Vivek succeed where others have failed? We explore historical attempts like Reagan’s Grace Commission and Thatcher’s reforms, and compare them to the ambitious goals of DOGE.

💰 The $2 Trillion Problem
With 61% of federal spending locked in mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare, hitting DOGE’s savings target is nearly impossible without taking on sacred cows. But is there hope for smarter spending?

🔎 The Real Question
Is DOGE a much-needed reality or a political pipe dream? We dive deep into the numbers, bureaucracy, and politics that stand in the way of meaningful reform.
