00:00I've given it to some, but it goes to very special people, and I thought I'd give it to Elon as a presentation from our country.
00:09Thank you, Elon. Take care of yourself.
00:11Thank you.
00:16I've seen a lot. The luck of this is amazing.
00:20That's right. Large luck.
00:22Well, let me say perhaps a few words that this is not the end of Doge, but really the beginning.
00:28My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end. It was a limited time thing. It's 134 days, I believe, which ends in a few days.
00:36So that, you know, it comes with a time limit. But the Doge team will only grow stronger over time. The Doge influence will only grow stronger.
00:47I liken it to sort of Buddhism. It's like a way of life.
00:50So it is permeating throughout the government, and I'm confident that, over time, we'll see a trillion dollars of savings and a reduction in a trillion dollars of waste and forward reduction.
01:03The calculations of the Doge team thus far, in terms of an FY25 to FY26 delta, are over $160 billion, and that's climbing.
01:13We expect that number will probably go over $200 billion soon.
01:17So I think the Doge team is doing an incredible job. They're going to continue doing an incredible job.
01:23And I'll continue to be visiting here and be a friend and advisor to the president.
01:32And I look forward to times being back in this amazing room.
01:35By the way, isn't this incredible? Look at this incredible. I mean, it's stunning, I think, the way that the Oval Office, how the president has just completely redone the Oval Office.
01:47It's beautiful. I love the gold on the ceiling.
01:50Thank you. It's pretty nice.
01:51Yeah.
01:53That's been there a long time. That was plaster. Nobody ever really saw it.
01:57They didn't know the eagle was up there.
01:58And we highlighted it's a, essentially it's a landmark, a great landmark, and that's 24 karat gold and everybody loved it.
02:07And now they all see it when they come in. So it's been, it's been good.
02:10The Oval Office has, you know, finally has the majesty that it deserves, thanks to the president.
02:15So, so I look forward to continuing to be a Brendan advisor to the president, continuing to support the Doge team.
02:22And, and we are relentlessly pursuing a trillion dollars in, in waste and fraud reductions, which will benefit the American taxpayer.
02:34So, that's, that's it really. Thank you, Mr. President.
02:40Thank you.
02:40Thank you.
02:41Great job.
02:42Thank you.
02:44Thank you, President Trump.
02:46The president mentioned that you had to deal with all the slings and arrows during your time at Doge.
02:50There's this, some of the people, you know, some of the media propositions in this room were the slingers.
02:55Well, so, I, there is a New York Times report today that accuses you of blurring the line between.
03:02Is the New York, is the New York Times, is that the same publication, uh, that, uh, got a Pulitzer Prize for, uh, false reporting on, on the Russiagate?
03:11Uh, is, is it the same organization?
03:13I got to check my Pulitzer, uh, my Pulitzer counter.
03:15I think it is.
03:16It is.
03:16I, I, I, I think they, I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their, their lies about the Russiagate hoax,
03:23and that, that, that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize.
