=== Federal Employees Return To Work (01:58) ===

[00:00:00]  Elon Musk, obviously the co-chair of the incoming Trump administration's DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, has signaled that the federal employees should have to work from the office.
[00:00:11]  By the way, this column is from Daily Wire, so hat tip to them.
[00:00:15]  In 2022, Joe Biden agreed with Elon Musk that federal employees should return to work.
[00:00:21]  So isn't that amazing?
[00:00:22]  In 2022, you had Joe Biden agreeing...
[00:00:26]  With Trump agreeing with us, quite frankly, that these federal employees should return to work.
[00:00:33]  We shouldn't have to pay for these fools to stay home.
[00:00:35]  And now, in order to undermine the incoming presidency, you saw that the Biden administration signed this contract.
[00:00:45]  With the Social Security Administration that essentially locked them into this telework through 2029. And I think Elon Musk is right.
[00:00:54]  I don't know the workaround, but I think it could be figured out.
[00:00:57]  I'm not exactly sure how that'll work with the contract.
[00:01:01]  But man, if you don't come back to the building, you're fired.
[00:01:04]  You're done.
[00:01:05]  You're finito.
[00:01:06]  It's over.
[00:01:06]  You're finished.
[00:01:08]  Listen to this.
[00:01:09]  This Social Security Administration, they just spent $120 million to renovate a building that has 9% occupancy.
[00:01:17]  They renovated a building that nobody is in.
[00:01:21]  You know why they can do that?
[00:01:23]  Or you know why they do it?
[00:01:24]  Because they can.
[00:01:25]  Simply because they can.
[00:01:28]  These people have no concept of money.
[00:01:31]  This is why I want disruptors in Washington, D.C. This is why, frankly, when people say, well, they don't have any government experience.
[00:01:40]  And listen, I do believe it's important for people to understand the inner workings of government.
[00:01:46]  But I don't think it's necessarily important.
[00:01:49]  I know this is going to sound counterintuitive to have somebody that's been a Washington establishment type figure.
[00:01:56]  Lead an organization.
