That's when SCOTUS ruled that federal agencies can't impose regulations dealing with major economic or policy questions unless Congress authorizes them to do so. And Luper Bright versus Raimondo. That's from 2024. And that overturned the Chevron doctrine. We talked about that on a previous episode. episode.

So according to Doge, when combined, quote, these cases suggest that a plethora of current federal regulations exceed the authority Congress has granted under the law. Doge will use software and legal experts to create a list of regulations that Trump can immediately pause. They're going to make some sort of a leaderboard, Elon said, and

that this is going to occur because obviously we all know the machine is going to fight to preserve the machine. Chances that we are sitting here in four years and we've seen meaningful cuts in spending and a meaningful reduction in size of the government.

Yeah, great rant. And we had a Milton Friedman clip go viral and he spoke exactly about his positions on what he would eliminate departments like agriculture, commerce, education. Let's just play that clip. And then there was obviously the Malay interview by Lex Friedman earlier this week.

Sachs, you see that clip? You see the activity going on with Doge. Do you think that the machine will allow what Milton Friedman is describing there, what Javier Amelay is doing in Argentina, and what Elon is proposing with Doge? Do you think the machine's going to allow

you know, the wholesale deleting of Department of Agriculture, Department of Education at a federal level and move all that stuff to the states. What do you think is going to happen here? And how hard will the machine fight back against this in your mind?

Because, hey, you might have some Republicans, some Democrats, they fought really hard to get jobs, to get subsidies, to put in factories, whatever from the federal government. Are they going to just give that all back? The clip is from 1998, by the way. Zach, your thoughts?

I think the easiest thing for them to get done with Doge is the naming, the shaming, the auditing, the transparency of what we're actually spending. Because so many of the audits, Chamath, are just not completed. People don't know what's being spent.

You just create the leaderboard and you not only shame people who are wasting our tax dollars, you celebrate the people who are heroes, who start showing frugality and cost saving. And they're going to do this with the leaderboard of the heroes and the goats. This could be the unifying, not just the Republican Party, as Sachs is pointing out, Chamath, I think this could unify the whole country.
