Eric Eggers, vice president of the Government Accountability Institute, appeared on the DailyWire’s MorningWire podcast recently to break down federal spending cuts led by Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative and the Trump administration.
With more than $105 billion in savings already identified, including contract cancellations and workforce reductions, the effort is reshaping how Washington spends money.
Eggers also discusses the role of social media and transparency, highlighting how Musk’s X (Twitter) platform is exposing bloated government programs that were once hidden from public view. From USAID program cuts to a proposed 50% reduction in IRS staffing, the conversation tackles how these measures will affect federal agencies, as well as political backlash from Democrats.
