So there's a lot of lessons here, but I think the betrayal that USDS kind of committed in Trump's first term is definitely informing the way that he's going to come in and look at how Biden used and Trump and Obama used these agencies in a more partisan way and naturally say it only seems fair to do the same thing. And so he's bringing in people like, you know, it's yeah.
So I'll leave it there on that part. But there's so many examples I could go on and on about basically how they operated a left wing activism outfit in Trump's White House and basically set up this whole thing. And now what Elon Musk is doing with it is not all that dissimilar from how Barack Obama set it up in 2014.

Yeah, and I think one of the things that really threatens Elon, really makes Democrats scared of Elon, is that he's an outsider. And I think about even this role where the Daily Wire is now naming me the government efficiency reporter. In some ways, I've been around Washington for a while.

My original mentor back in the day was Tom Coburn, a senator who was called Dr. No because he basically called out spending and shut down so much wasteful spending. And he actually created the website usaspending.gov for exactly the kind of thing we're now seeing. But nobody really looked at it for about 15 years. It was all out there, but nobody was really using it.

And now what we have is I just feel like a kid waking up on Christmas morning because people are suddenly using this website for exactly what they wanted them to. I almost wish Tom Coburn was still alive to see it. He would be so excited. But some of the things they're finding as outsiders We've kind of known about it on those of us who have followed Washington for years.

Some of it we knew about, but we just felt like we couldn't change. We didn't like it, but we just were jaded and pessimistic, and we were told that nothing could ever change. And what you have is these outsiders like Elon who are coming in with his merry band of 20-year-olds and kind of waltzing into the parade and pointing at the emperor and saying, hey, why does that dude have no clothes? And...

Those of us who have kind of been in the alphabet soup of D.C. jargon for a long time, you're right. It doesn't have to be this way. So it's just incredible to see people using this USA spending, finding all the USA stuff that you're mentioning, and there's so much more.

Once in a while, these people who are just random people all over America who are exploring how taxpayers are spending their money, they're finding that bureaucrats spend your money in ways that they would never spend their own money. Thank you.
