The New Yorker Radio Hour
How Science Fiction Led Elon Musk to DOGE

My name's Patti Hoyt. I live in the north of San Francisco in a small town called Novato. And although in the first administration, I did organize rallies and protests, quite a few. I've had a break. And very recently, a friend of mine who's a veteran reached out to me and said, wanted to bring to light the plight of veterans. And knowing my background, he asked if I was interested.

And being the daughter of a veteran, sure. And having to choose, there's so many things going on, what am I going to focus on? I selected veterans and immigrants as where I'm going to put my energy. And I had attended a couple of Tesla takedowns. And thought, okay, this looks like the perfect thing to do.

I'm sorry. Yes, yes, that's exactly it. The fact that, you know, 30 percent of the federal workforce happens to be veterans. So not only the VA being threatened with a 20 percent cut in staff, but just throughout the federal workforce, there are so many veterans.

I would say there seems to be more anger. And what I'm encountering, who I am encountering this time around, is a lot of people that didn't protest then, have never protested before, and now are out there.

Fear and anger. And I think perhaps the speed of which all of this is coming, I can't even keep track of what next. I think it was different in the first term that it... It took longer for people to get energized. They felt they had more time. But we're not the only ones in my little town. Puerto Madera is where the dealership is in our county. There's a protest at noon.
