64. 2:20CLAIMING THAT THEY DID THEM.
65. 2:21QUOTE LAST WEEK, ELON MUSK'S
66. 2:23GOVERNMENT COST SLASHING
67. 2:25INITIATIVE, WHICH HE CALLS THE
68. 2:27DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT
69. 2:28EFFICIENCY, POSTED AN ONLINE,
70. 2:30QUOTE, WALL OF RECEIPTS
71. 2:33CELEBRATING HOW MUCH IT HAD
72. 2:34SAVED BY CANCELING FEDERAL
73. 2:35CONTRACTS. NOW, THE ORGANIZATION
74. 2:38HAS DELETED ALL OF THE FIVE
75. 2:41BIGGEST QUOTES SAVINGS ON THAT
76. 2:43ORIGINAL LIST. AFTER THE NEW
77. 2:45YORK TIMES AND OTHER MEDIA
78. 2:46OUTLETS POINTED OUT THAT THOSE
79. 2:47LISTS WERE RIDDLED WITH ERRORS.
80. 2:49QUOTE, THE LAST OF THE ORIGINAL
81. 2:51TOP FIVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE
82. 2:53SITE IN THE EARLY HOURS OF
83. 2:54TUESDAY. THE WEBSITE OFFERED NO
84. 2:57EXPLANATION FOR WHY IT HAD
85. 2:58REMOVED SOME ITEMS, BUT THESE
86. 3:00WERE THE ORIGINAL FIVE LARGEST
87. 3:02SAVINGS ON ITS LIST. FIRST, AN
88. 3:07$8 BILLION CUT AT ICE AT
89. 3:09IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS
90. 3:10ENFORCEMENT. THE ACTUAL CONTRACT
91. 3:11IN QUESTION WAS WORTH NOT $8
92. 3:13BILLION, BUT $8 MILLION. NEXT,
93. 3:21THREE $655 MILLION CUTS AT
94. 3:23USAID. QUOTE. THIS WAS ACTUALLY
95. 3:25A SINGLE CUT THAT WAS
96. 3:27ERRONEOUSLY COUNTED THREE TIMES.
97. 3:29IN ADDITION TO NOT BEING $655
98. 3:33MILLION THREE TIMES, IT'S NOW
99. 3:35ONLY LISTED ONCE. AND INSTEAD OF
100. 3:36BEING LISTED AT $655 MILLION,
101. 3:39IT'S LISTED AT $18 MILLION. SO
102. 3:41THEY WERE OFF THERE BY HUNDREDS
103. 3:43AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND
104. 3:45HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
105. 3:47BUT WAIT, THERE'S ONE MORE. A
106. 3:50$232 MILLION CUT AT THE SOCIAL
107. 3:51SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, WHICH
108. 3:53APPEARS ACTUALLY, ACCORDING TO
109. 3:55REPORTING FROM THE INTERCEPT, TO
110. 3:57BE A PROJECT THAT IS NOT WORTH
111. 4:00$232 MILLION, IT IS WORTH
112. 4:03$560,000. SO WE'RE ONLY OFF BY.
113. 4:11HOW BIG IS THE WINDOW IN YOUR
114. 4:13CALCULATOR? AND DOES IT NEED
115. 4:14BATTERIES? SO THEY'RE NOT
116. 4:16SENDING THEIR BEST? I MEAN, TO
117. 4:18THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED
118. 4:20TO THINK OF THE AUTHORITARIAN
119. 4:22OVERTHROW OF THE US SYSTEM OF
120. 4:23GOVERNMENT AS SOME SORT OF
121. 4:24BENEVOLENT MISSION, BECAUSE
122. 4:26THESE ARE MATH GENIUSES WHO ARE
123. 4:28DOING IT RIGHT TO THE EXTENT
124. 4:30THAT THAT'S WHY WE'RE SUPPOSED
125. 4:32TO LIKE THE DISMANTLING OF THE
126. 4:33US GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE THEY'RE
127. 4:35SO GOOD AT MATH. AND SO
128. 4:37THEREFORE THIS MUST BE GOOD FOR
129. 4:38US. YEAH, IT TURNS OUT THEIR
130. 4:40MATH DOESN'T WORK. AND EVEN
131. 4:42THOUGH THEY ARE HAVING TO
132. 4:45RESCIND BY COURT ORDER THE
133. 4:49THINGS THEY ARE MOST PROUD OF,
134. 4:50DOING THE BIGGEST THINGS THEY'RE
135. 4:52TRYING TO DO, OR THEY'RE HAVING
136. 4:54TO RESCIND FROM THEIR WALL OF
137. 4:55RECEIPTS EVERYTHING THEY
138. 4:57PREVIOUSLY SAID ABOUT ALL THEIR
139. 4:58OTHER BEST AND BIGGEST MOVES.
140. 5:00EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THIS STUFF IS
141. 5:02GETTING WOUND BACK, LITERALLY
142. 5:03ALL OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THEY
143. 5:05SAID THEY HAVE DONE ARE NOW
144. 5:06GETTING UNDONE, OR THEY NEVER
145. 5:08HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
146. 5:11EVEN STILL, THOUGH, IT'S NOT
147. 5:12LIKE THEY'RE THEY'RE GETTING
148. 5:14BETTER OR MORE HUMBLE OR MORE
149. 5:15ACCURATE OVER TIME. BACK TO THAT
150. 5:19NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE TODAY,
151. 5:20QUOTE, SOME OF THE NEW CANCELED
152. 5:22CONTRACTS DOGE ADDED TO ITS
153. 5:24WEBSITE THIS WEEK APPEAR TO MAKE

155. 5:28ERRORS. THE LARGEST SAVINGS ON
156. 5:29THE LATEST VERSION OF ITS LIST
157. 5:31IS A $1.9 BILLION CUT AT THE
158. 5:33TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUT AS
159. 5:35REPORTED IN THE TIMES LAST WEEK,
160. 5:37THAT CONTRACT WAS ACTUALLY
161. 5:38CANCELED LAST FALL WHEN JOE
162. 5:40BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT AND WHEN
163. 5:41DOGE DID NOT YET EXIST. SO THAT
164. 5:451.9 BILLION ISN'T ANYTHING THEY
165. 5:47DID EITHER. EVEN THE STUFF THEY
166. 5:50SAY IS THEIR BEST, THEIR BIGGEST
167. 5:52SUCCESSES, THEIR GREATEST HITS

171. 6:05THEY HAVE FIRED A LOT OF PEOPLE,
172. 6:07AND THEN THEY'VE HAD TO UNFIRE A
173. 6:09LOT OF THEM WHEN THEY REALIZE
174. 6:11THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD NO IDEA

189. 6:37EASY TO REPLICATE LOW
190. 6:39PRODUCTIVITY FIELDS, LIKE
191. 6:41OVERSEEING THE SAFETY OF THE
192. 6:42ROBOTS THAT DO SURGERIES ON
193. 6:45HUMANS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK
194. 6:48ON THE SAFETY OF PACEMAKERS AND
195. 6:51IMPLANTED DEFIBRILLATORS. YEAH,
