Well, Doge turned off $160 billion of stuff.
It's not nothing.

I think, listen, I think when Doge first started, I mean, I was there at Mar-a-Lago briefly with Elon and Vivek and others, and they were interviewing people to become the secretaries, right?
Because Trump had them helping with transition.
And so Doge, right from the start, was kind of like tied to the boss and tied to the president.

But a lot of the best people did go into these agencies and keep working.
It's not like it went away fully, right?
All the cultures there are still in a lot of these places and going.
And I love that, listen, the president's put the vice president in charge of this, right?
And I saw him recently.
He says this is a big objective of his.
He's working hard on it.
