Trump 2024 Campaign Deputy Communications Director Caroline Sunshine joins Fox Across America With guest host Paul Gleiser to give her take on Elon Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency, and the impact he’s had on highlighting wasteful government spending.
“I think DOGE’s mission and ethos will remain. I know that Doge has staffers now in every agency in the federal government, but I think it’s a lesson sometimes in humility, I guess is the lesson I would say for our listeners in that, I know we all know that the bloat and the spending in our government is bad and it’s wasteful and it’s corrupt and we think we have a full picture of just how bad it is, but I promise you, however bad you think it is it’s 10 times worse. And what you’re seeing, Elon came in with the goal of two trillion they’ve been able to do far less than that. It’s just hard to grasp the enormity of the waste, fraud and abuse that exists in our government and the way that it is structured, and I have seen many a brilliant businessman, many a brilliant mind sort of be humbled at thinking they can apply the same ethos and the same logic that they use in their very successful private enterprises and apply that to the federal government and think that they can get the same result. Sometimes it works. Sometimes what you find is you’ve got a cutaway even more fat than you think. So I’m optimistic about the future of DOGE. I think that ethos should 100% remain in our federal government, and in our administration. And it’s something the administration should double down on over the next four years, because I believe that’s how long it’s going to take to get this done and do it and do it right. Thus is the nature of the Leviathan of our government.”
