Ramaswamy: We Expect Certain Agencies to Be Deleted Outright

Ramaswamy They end up ░░░░░░░░ at what s happening ░░░░░░░░ We re looking at ░░░░░░░░ next 250 years We ░░░░░░░░ to give them credit ░░░░░░░░ doing the right thing ░░░░░░░░ and I aren t ░░░░░░░░ this for the credit ░░░░░░░░ I think we re ░░░░░░░░ to build the consensus ░░░░░░░░ make the kind of ░░░░░░░░ cuts that haven t ░░░░░░░░ made for most of ░░░░░░░░ history BARTIROMO Are you ░░░░░░░░ to close down entire ░░░░░░░░ like President Trump has ░░░░░░░░ about the Department of ░░░░░░░░ for example Are you ░░░░░░░░ to be closing down ░░░░░░░░ Ramaswamy We expect mass ░░░░░░░░ We expect certain agencies ░░░░░░░░ be deleted outright We ░░░░░░░░ mass reductions enforced in ░░░░░░░░ of the federal government ░░░░░░░░ are bloated we expect ░░░░░░░░ cuts of our federal ░░░░░░░░ and others who are ░░░░░░░░ the federal government So ░░░░░░░░ we expect all of ░░░░░░░░ above And I think ░░░░░░░░ will be surprised by ░░░░░░░░ think how quickly we ░░░░░░░░ able the move with ░░░░░░░░ of those changes given ░░░░░░░░ legal backdrop the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ has given us BARTIROMO ░░░░░░░░ ve got what has ░░░░░░░░ called a deep state ░░░░░░░░ ve got people who ░░░░░░░░ been career bureaucrats in ░░░░░░░░ right now Ramaswamy Sure ░░░░░░░░ Didn t President Biden ░░░░░░░░ in plans to ensure ░░░░░░░░ you re not going ░░░░░░░░ be able to fire ░░░░░░░░ people at all How ░░░░░░░░ you get around that ░░░░░░░░ you know I asked ░░░░░░░░ Ernst Are you for ░░░░░░░░ limits She said Yes ░░░░░░░░ am for term limits ░░░░░░░░ long as the people ░░░░░░░░ me are also for ░░░░░░░░ limits That s not ░░░░░░░░ place right now So ░░░░░░░░ do you get rid ░░░░░░░░ those people who are ░░░░░░░░ in Ramaswamy Well a ░░░░░░░░ of what s happened ░░░░░░░░ President Biden has made ░░░░░░░░ lot of changes tried ░░░░░░░░ entrench the administrative state ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court has slapped ░░░░░░░░ on the wrist numerous ░░░░░░░░ So we re working ░░░░░░░░ a legal landscape here ░░░░░░░░ is historic You think ░░░░░░░░ a president of the ░░░░░░░░ States like Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ with the mandate he ░░░░░░░░ been given both chambers ░░░░░░░░ Congress belonging to Republicans ░░░░░░░░ 6 3 conservative majority ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court Maria ░░░░░░░░ we don t downsize ░░░░░░░░ federal government now it ░░░░░░░░ never going to happen ░░░░░░░░ the future as well ░░░░░░░░ this is a historic ░░░░░░░░ We re not actually ░░░░░░░░ to squander this But ░░░░░░░░ think part of the ░░░░░░░░ is to move quickly ░░░░░░░░ move effectively I think ░░░░░░░░ mass deregulation that I ░░░░░░░░ about earlier that gives ░░░░░░░░ the industrial logic to ░░░░░░░░ make cuts to that ░░░░░░░░ and moving quickly is ░░░░░░░░ objective BARTIROMO Have you ░░░░░░░░ about moving some of ░░░░░░░░ departments or agencies out ░░░░░░░░ Washington Ramaswamy It s ░░░░░░░░ you bring up this ░░░░░░░░ Yes is the answer ░░░░░░░░ here s why They ░░░░░░░░ say well what happens ░░░░░░░░ the people who live ░░░░░░░░ Washington D C Here ░░░░░░░░ the dirty little secret ░░░░░░░░ the federal bureaucracy today ░░░░░░░░ people don t even ░░░░░░░░ up to work So ░░░░░░░░ you require most of ░░░░░░░░ federal bureaucrats to just ░░░░░░░░ like normal working Americans ░░░░░░░░ come to work five ░░░░░░░░ a week a lot ░░░░░░░░ them won t want ░░░░░░░░ do that and by ░░░░░░░░ way that creates a ░░░░░░░░ for many of those ░░░░░░░░ being outside of D ░░░░░░░░ in the first place ░░░░░░░░ these are again examples ░░░░░░░░ s a great point ░░░░░░░░ just brought up sweeping ░░░░░░░░ we re able to ░░░░░░░░ quickly BARTIROMO So would ░░░░░░░░ move the energy department ░░░░░░░░ Texas or to Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ could move agriculture somewhere ░░░░░░░░ Ramaswamy Yes BARTIROMO Is ░░░░░░░░ what you re thinking ░░░░░░░░ Look I think that ░░░░░░░░ absolutely But I think ░░░░░░░░ bigger picture than that ░░░░░░░░ of these agencies should ░░░░░░░░ downsized wherever they are ░░░░░░░░ for whatever does remain ░░░░░░░░ them out to where ░░░░░░░░ re more accountable to ░░░░░░░░ people And by the ░░░░░░░░ if you have many ░░░░░░░░ reductions of the workforce ░░░░░░░░ the federal government along ░░░░░░░░ way great That s ░░░░░░░░ good side effect of ░░░░░░░░ policies as well Our ░░░░░░░░ is not to be ░░░░░░░░ by the way to ░░░░░░░░ individual federal employees Most ░░░░░░░░ them I do want ░░░░░░░░ the say this are ░░░░░░░░ good people and we ░░░░░░░░ to be compassionate and ░░░░░░░░ in how we handle ░░░░░░░░ transition But the real ░░░░░░░░ is there s just ░░░░░░░░ many of them We ░░░░░░░░ t need 4 million ░░░░░░░░ we shouldn t have ░░░░░░░░ million civil servants who ░░░░░░░░ t be elec aren ░░░░░░░░ even elected or can ░░░░░░░░ be removed from their ░░░░░░░░ It s anti democratic ░░░░░░░░ Real quick we ve ░░░░░░░░ to jump but when ░░░░░░░░ look from 30 000 ░░░░░░░░ I know you re ░░░░░░░░ getting into this now ░░░░░░░░ agency or department is ░░░░░░░░ most bloated would you ░░░░░░░░ Ramaswamy That s a ░░░░░░░░ competition It s across ░░░░░░░░ administrative state President Trump ░░░░░░░░ talked extensively about a ░░░░░░░░ like the Department of ░░░░░░░░ Obviously those kinds of ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t even exist ░░░░░░░░ should be returned to ░░░░░░░░ states But it s ░░░░░░░░ culture Maria that s ░░░░░░░░ the entire federal government ░░░░░░░░ hiring people who have ░░░░░░░░ accountability to everyday Americans ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ s going to change ░░░░░░░░ you take this new ░░░░░░░░ at DOGE the Department ░░░░░░░░ Government Efficiency It s ░░░░░░░░ efficiency as much as ░░░░░░░░ is about restoring accountability ░░░░░░░░ this time actions are ░░░░░░░░ to speak louder than ░░░░░░░░ starting in January BARTIROMO ░░░░░░░░ love all of this ░░░░░░░░ I really do But ░░░░░░░░ what a year and ░░░░░░░░ half you’ve had.”
