Chris Sununu: DOGE’s Mission Is Achievable

CAVUTO You know think ░░░░░░░░ it Elon Musk Vivek ░░░░░░░░ they re ready to ░░░░░░░░ the DOGE so to ░░░░░░░░ to go after at ░░░░░░░░ a couple of trillion ░░░░░░░░ in spending That might ░░░░░░░░ be for inaudible starters ░░░░░░░░ everyone says it s ░░░░░░░░ to fail can t ░░░░░░░░ done And my next ░░░░░░░░ says well yeah it ░░░░░░░░ done across the country ░░░░░░░░ a number of states ░░░░░░░░ deal with this all ░░░░░░░░ time better than 40 ░░░░░░░░ have rules on the ░░░░░░░░ that their budgets must ░░░░░░░░ balanced each year every ░░░░░░░░ New Hampshire is one ░░░░░░░░ them Chris Sununu leading ░░░░░░░░ charge there Governor good ░░░░░░░░ have you SUNUNU Great ░░░░░░░░ to see you CAVUTO ░░░░░░░░ re a good example ░░░░░░░░ you know putting the ░░░░░░░░ to metal and doing ░░░░░░░░ Not just talking about ░░░░░░░░ But you know the ░░░░░░░░ against the federal government ░░░░░░░░ it is that the ░░░░░░░░ are so much bigger ░░░░░░░░ getting them under control ░░░░░░░░ so much more undoable ░░░░░░░░ do you say SUNUNU ░░░░░░░░ look yeah so look ░░░░░░░░ you buy that argument ░░░░░░░░ re basically you re ░░░░░░░░ that we ll never ░░░░░░░░ our budget we ll ░░░░░░░░ live within our means ░░░░░░░░ ultimately we re going ░░░░░░░░ default on our loans ░░░░░░░░ mean that s the ░░░░░░░░ mathematical conclusion So this ░░░░░░░░ going to happen at ░░░░░░░░ point Now is the ░░░░░░░░ time to do it ░░░░░░░░ it s not nothing ░░░░░░░░ right The message that ░░░░░░░░ re talking about creating ░░░░░░░░ government My argument is ░░░░░░░░ s been it s ░░░░░░░░ been done like 50 ░░░░░░░░ over in the states ░░░░░░░░ the ideas of what ░░░░░░░░ do aren t new ░░░░░░░░ to do it is ░░░░░░░░ in the states We ░░░░░░░░ worked with legislators we ░░░░░░░░ done executive orders we ░░░░░░░░ cut agencies Maybe have ░░░░░░░░ efficiencies So all the ░░░░░░░░ is there It s ░░░░░░░░ the will It really ░░░░░░░░ It s the will ░░░░░░░░ do it Anyone who ░░░░░░░░ it can t be ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want it ░░░░░░░░ be done And I ░░░░░░░░ that this is a ░░░░░░░░ unique opportunity for Elon ░░░░░░░░ an outsider but actually ░░░░░░░░ political capital with President ░░░░░░░░ following the election with ░░░░░░░░ capital to walk into ░░░░░░░░ speaker s office and ░░░░░░░░ we re doing this ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ legacy righting the ship ░░░░░░░░ just nipping at the ░░░░░░░░ a program here and ░░░░░░░░ program there some efficiency ░░░░░░░░ Defense which is very ░░░░░░░░ very important But unless ░░░░░░░░ create something structurally and ░░░░░░░░ it s just going ░░░░░░░░ be that it s ░░░░░░░░ to be fleeting So ░░░░░░░░ can be done Look ░░░░░░░░ the states federalism works ░░░░░░░░ grants back to the ░░░░░░░░ find those efficiencies and ░░░░░░░░ obviously you re going ░░░░░░░░ have to tackle Social ░░░░░░░░ and Medicare in some ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO It s that ░░░░░░░░ part that could be ░░░░░░░░ heavy lift to your ░░░░░░░░ but you know you ░░░░░░░░ a great point Governor ░░░░░░░░ it comes to just ░░░░░░░░ It s not that ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO Start the initiative ░░░░░░░░ I mean I can ░░░░░░░░ that even SUNUNU That ░░░░░░░░ right CAVUTO when Bill ░░░░░░░░ and Newt Gingrich working ░░░░░░░░ you know with this ░░░░░░░░ with America to try ░░░░░░░░ get the government spending ░░░░░░░░ control and address the ░░░░░░░░ just that initiative set ░░░░░░░░ bond market soaring yields ░░░░░░░░ and the cost of ░░░░░░░░ debt and borrowing going ░░░░░░░░ So sometimes all the ░░░░░░░░ need to see I ░░░░░░░░ t want to walk ░░░░░░░░ out is that you ░░░░░░░░ moving in that direction ░░░░░░░░ you ll be rewarded ░░░░░░░░ moving in that direction ░░░░░░░░ That s right And ░░░░░░░░ rewarded is very important ░░░░░░░░ Congress in Washington has ░░░░░░░░ 1995 mentality where if ░░░░░░░░ oh if we make ░░░░░░░░ tough decisions people back ░░░░░░░░ won t re elect ░░░░░░░░ Just the opposite right ░░░░░░░░ was elected to disrupt ░░░░░░░░ was elected for this ░░░░░░░░ that says finally Washington ░░░░░░░░ going to start playing ░░░░░░░░ the same rules as ░░░░░░░░ else And I warned ░░░░░░░░ if you don t ░░░░░░░░ doing it and living ░░░░░░░░ to the mantle of ░░░░░░░░ principles of your party ░░░░░░░░ will be fired You ░░░░░░░░ be kicked out of ░░░░░░░░ Governors are rewarded Mayors ░░░░░░░░ rewarded when they do ░░░░░░░░ And how about this ░░░░░░░░ for all the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ D C look at ░░░░░░░░ As much of a ░░░░░░░░ mess California is they ░░░░░░░░ have a balanced budget ░░░░░░░░ They have to live ░░░░░░░░ their I mean I ░░░░░░░░ t think they handle ░░░░░░░░ well They tax people ░░░░░░░░ I m not saying ░░░░░░░░ do that but believe ░░░░░░░░ compared to California Washington ░░░░░░░░ fiscally worse and Republicans ░░░░░░░░ in charge So own ░░░░░░░░ issue dive in do ░░░░░░░░ by the American public ░░░░░░░░ can be achieved there ░░░░░░░░ models out there Get ░░░░░░░░ done and you will ░░░░░░░░ politically rewarded for doing ░░░░░░░░ no one else has ░░░░░░░░ had the courage to ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO Well you could ░░░░░░░░ rewarded but a lot ░░░░░░░░ people forget that someone ░░░░░░░░ s sort of the ░░░░░░░░ and waste is someone ░░░░░░░░ s vital program So ░░░░░░░░ will have run ins ░░░░░░░░ will have run ins ░░░░░░░░ Republicans and Democrats with ░░░░░░░░ and Democrats with Democrats ░░░░░░░░ could be a mess ░░░░░░░░ sometimes that s the ░░░░░░░░ governing SUNUNU Yeah well ░░░░░░░░ s why bipartisanship is ░░░░░░░░ right And again you ░░░░░░░░ t need to completely ░░░░░░░░ Social Security tomorrow You ░░░░░░░░ what you need to ░░░░░░░░ Bring AARP a huge ░░░░░░░░ into the conversation Make ░░░░░░░░ an ally Help them ░░░░░░░░ a construct of the ░░░░░░░░ that ultimately have to ░░░░░░░░ Because you know the ░░░░░░░░ argument is this In ░░░░░░░░ 8 10 years if ░░░░░░░░ re on Social Security ░░░░░░░░ benefits drop to 83 ░░░░░░░░ of what they are ░░░░░░░░ That s existing law ░░░░░░░░ unless somebody fixed that ░░░░░░░░ re screwed Medicare becomes ░░░░░░░░ in about 8 years ░░░░░░░░ trillion that we pay ░░░░░░░░ interest today goes to ░░░░░░░░ 8 trillion in eight ░░░░░░░░ 10 years So you ░░░░░░░░ have this perfect storm ░░░░░░░░ fiscal crises What are ░░░░░░░░ going to do borrow ░░░░░░░░ money to get out ░░░░░░░░ it CAVUTO Good point ░░░░░░░░ Oh no Maybe Republicans ░░░░░░░░ be fiscally fiscal conservatives ░░░░░░░░ tough decisions It s ░░░░░░░░ going to be easy ░░░░░░░░ it s there Make ░░░░░░░░ decisions Have the will ░░░░░░░░ do right by the ░░░░░░░░ people Let s get ░░░░░░░░ done CAVUTO Yeah You ░░░░░░░░ hope springs eternal We ░░░░░░░░ see what happens Governor ░░░░░░░░ seeing you Hope you ░░░░░░░░ a Merry Christmas SUNUNU ░░░░░░░░ you go CAVUTO Governor ░░░░░░░░ of the beautiful state ░░░░░░░░ New Hampshire.”
