Can DOGE Succeed Without Congress?

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

The DOGE Department has been making headlines in the past weeks as its leader, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, works to cut what he calls rampant government waste. Democrat lawmakers have been critical of his work, saying that what he is doing is unconstitutional and calling for oversight of the department. Republicans on the other hand are applauding the work with some saying that the department needs to go further. Florida Republican Congressman and Co-Chair of the DOGE Caucus Aaron Bean joins the Rundown to discuss the role of Congress in the cost cutting process, why he believes the time is now to tackle government spending, and what additional things he would like to see the DOGE Department evaluate.  Last week, the United States Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs held a hearing centered around "debanking" - where banks can refuse to open an account for customers considered at risk. Those in the legal marijuana industry are some of the few victims of "debanking." Although the industry generates billions of dollars in revenue, many still oppose legal marijuana. CEO of Flowhub Kyle Sherman joins to discuss how "debanking" impacts the industry, why many are pushing to reschedule legal marijuana, and why this is "un-American." Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital Columnist David Marcus.  (Image Via AP) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
