About this episode
President-elect Donald Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency is creating a lot of waves—and high expectations—in Washington. But questions remain about what the department can do to cut waste, fraud, and abuse without the assistance of Congress. Fox News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal recently spoke with Florida Republican Congressman Aaron Bean, the founder of the newly launched House Doge caucus. Doge, in this case, stands for delivering outstanding government efficiency. Rep. Bean explained how he and his colleagues would help assist Trump’s efficiency panel co-leaders, Telsa CEO Elon Musk and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and where he thinks cost-saving changes can be made immediately. He also discussed the dire need to reduce America’s $36 trillion national debt and why the GOP should feel pressure to make an impactful change, as he believes that’s the message voters sent this past election. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Rep. Aaron Bean and let you hear more of his take on America’s debt crisis and how he thinks Republicans should address it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
