Elon & Vivek Detail the Plan to Slash & Burn the Government, Plus Trump’s New AG Nom. 11/22/24

from The Mark Thompson Show · host The Mark Thompson Show

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy discuss details of their plans to eliminate some governmental rules along with many federal workers. As part of the Department of Governmental, Efficiency, the pair will be outside volunteers overseeing a staff of “small government crusaders.” They are looking to make administrative and regulatory cuts and save money. The plan is to “identify rules that exceed the authority Congress granted agencies.” They’ll run it past lawyers and then present it to Trump who will be able to take executive action. If regulations are cut, the staff working in those areas will likely be unnecessary. Team DOGE will be whittling agencies down to the minimum number required to perform legal and constitutional duties. Those workers who lose jobs will not be saved by civil service protections, according to Musk and Ramaswamy as cuts would fall under a “reduction in force.” We will discuss it with political analyst and journalist, Michael Shure. We’ll also ask him what he thinks about Pam Bondi, Trump‘s new candidate to be the US Attorney General. We’ll swing by Florida to see what those crazy kids are up to. Get ready to pick your favorite story of Friday Fabulous Florida. It’s a big weekend at the movies. Gladiator 2 and Wicked are on the big screens. We will find out if either are worth your time or money. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings his critical eye.
