this is an important day it's the beginning of a journey you've heard uh... what doge is all about the department of government efficiency uh... it's a new thing and this is a new day in washington in a new day in america we have long lamented the size and scope of the government that it has grown too large and let me be frank about this government uh... is too big it is too many things and it does almost nothing well the taxpayers deserve better they deserve uh... a more responsive government a more efficient government uh... one that is leaner and more focused on its primary objectives and that's the opportunity that we have here now we believe it's an historic moment for the country and these two gentlemen are going to help uh... navigate through this uh... exciting new day elon and the vague don't need much of an introduction here in congress for certain and most of the american people know what they do they're capable of and what they've achieved um... both of these uh... gentlemen have run very successful organizations they're innovators and uh... therefore thinkers and so that's what we need right now and so what you're gonna have today is uh... first is a a meeting that will have here with uh... decision makers key figures in uh... the republican house and senate who are chairs of committees of jurisdiction who deal with the money and financing a government in the structure of government uh... will have chairs of the new doge caucuses that have been set up in the senate and the house and then after that will proceed to the congressional auditorium where all of the uh... senate republicans in house republicans have been invited and i think many of them will gather for this discussion so there won't be a lot of detail for the press today and that's by design because this is a brainstorming session it is the first again as i said of a long series of of meetings will be held as we're laying the groundwork for the new year in the new congress and you're going to see a lot of change around here in in washington in the way things are run uh... we need to make government more efficient that is what this whole objective is that's what the doge uh... effort will be about and you're going to see a bicameral cooperation and it will be by the way bipartisan over the last twenty four forty eight hours you've seen a number of our democrat colleagues both in the senate and the house who said you know what sign me up i want to be a part of this as well so we welcome that it should be a bipartisan effort and i think we're going to do great things for the country
