A New Chapter in the Fight to Restore Self-Governance

I'm excited for the future. President Trump was elected with a decisive margin,
a mandate not just for incremental change, but sweeping change. And I'm looking forward to being
a part of it. He's changed history with his creativity and how he's thinking about this
new administration, his second term. And one of the things that we're doing differently is the,
as you've probably heard, the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE,
which I'll have the honor of co-leading with Elon Musk. This is, I think, the Manhattan
project of our time, hopefully. We are going to take aim at the overgrown fourth branch of
government and finally restore self-governance in America again, where the people we elect to
run the government once again become the ones who actually run the government. And in the process,
take care of massive cost overruns, massive federal spending in a way that's really never
happened in our generation. Politicians have talked about it for a long time. It hasn't
happened. And that's why we're doing things differently. Elon and I, we're not politicians,
we're businessmen. We're not going in as government bureaucrats or even employees.
We're outside volunteers. And perhaps most importantly, we have set a finite expiry date
on this project. We don't want DOGE to exist forever. To the contrary, we want this to end
and the need for it to end by July 4th, 2026, which is appropriate. That's the 250th anniversary
of the American Declaration of Independence. And I can think of no better gift to this country
than a downsized government that would make our founding fathers proud. And that's what we hope
to help play a role in delivering for them. I'm proud of President Trump for delivering this
victory. I'm proud of the American people for voting for the kind of change that we require
to save this republic. As part of that process, I'm now all in. I'm focused on making sure that
we actually accomplish the goal rather than just talking about it. So to that end, for the next
little bit, I'm going to put a pause on the Weekly Truth Podcasts. I've enjoyed doing it this year.
It's been incredibly fun and entertaining. I've learned from a lot of the guests and I've enjoyed
communicating with all of you. We're going to put that on pause for a little bit. And as you may
have heard, Elon and I are going to start a separate track of DOGEcasts that explain exactly
what we're doing to the public to provide transparency in what is a once-in-a-generation
project. We want to bring the public along with us to lift the curtain, to take us behind the
scenes of what actually that waste, fraud, and abuse in government looks like. However bad you
think it is, it's probably worse. But we don't want to do this to just expose the problem. We want to
do it to solve the problem. So stay tuned. We're going to have more information about when those
DOGEcasts are going to begin. We are neck deep right now in transitioning to the new dawn on
January 20th. But in the meantime, I thank all of you for your journey this year, for joining us.
I've loved doing the truth and we're just going to put it on pause for a little bit to
hopefully embark on this new chapter of saving our republic.
Stay tuned for further details and we'll be in touch.
