00:00Yep. Nancy, my question is, is everybody seeing Doge doing its thing up in the big White House?

00:07Are you going to bring that here to South Carolina? And the rumor is it's already on its way.

00:12I hope like hell, Doge, South Carolina is on its way.

00:16We just signed a rescission package that would cut $9 billion that Doge identified in cuts.

00:21I've helped Doge find some of these crazy contracts where we're wasting hundreds of millions of dollars,

00:27sometimes billions of dollars, gotten some of those contracts canceled, have had a hand in that.

00:33We already have a committee that's supposed to be looking at waste, fraud, and abuse in South Carolina,

00:38but I don't get the sense they're doing anything.

00:40And so in my economic plan to reduce the state income tax, you know,

00:45mandating that agencies cut 3% to 4% annually during higher increases, all of that gets us to that moment.

00:52And of course, we've got to audit some of our agencies, particularly the Department of Education.

00:56I want to know where all the money's going, and can we take some of it out of the bureaucracy

01:00and give it to our teachers?

01:02And get rid of that Common Core question.

01:04Oh yeah, Common Core at the end there.
