know it's tough to say right because it if vote goes ahead and whittles this thing down the supporters of the cfpb would say well there goes an institution that was really meant to help the little guy but on the other hand you know republicans in congress would say we already have agencies who can do this right that they have various entities who investigate the big banks investigate financial firms we don't really need uh a cfpb like this

Well, I don't know how much difference there is, to tell you the truth. I mean, I think that they're very similar. You know, Russell Vogt talks about partnering up with Doge. He said that in his testimony.

We have reporting that Vote and Musk really started to establish this partnership shortly after the 2024 election in November, late November. So they know each other, at least from a distance. And I feel like they are coming from the same world. It's loyalty to Trump, executing his vision. And making stringent cuts to a variety of agencies. I don't really see the daylight between them.

And for any Democrats on the Hill, that's probably a scary thought, right? Because you've got two very, very powerful people. One is a billionaire. The other one is kind of this budget hawk nerd. And, you know, that's a scary thought for Democrats in Capitol Hill. It is, 100%.

Yeah, I mean, he said that the Project 2025 won't have much say in his administration, and maybe they don't have as much access as the Heritage Foundation, which who authored that piece, wishes they had. But the truth is, is that there are elements of Project 2025 in Trump's government.

It seems it really depends on who you ask. I mean, if you ask Democrats in Congress, particularly Elizabeth Warren, you know, she's going to say, you know, he doesn't have really the authority to totally demolish the agency, which I think that's probably true. I don't think you can legally take out the whole thing. But I don't think there's any laws of saying you can slowly dismantle it.

I don't think there's anything. But he's stopping him from doing that, which means you can fire people. I don't think there's anyone saying that. Somebody who runs an agency, that person can't fire people. I've never heard of that in my entire life. I mean, so, unless I'm missing something here, Russell Vogt can go in and he can systematically break down different pieces of CFPB.
