DOGE and the Fight Over the Federal Government's Size
Showing 8 Federal Government videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
The federal government's proper size and reach became a live policy fight in this material, anchored by two concrete initiatives. Charlie Kirk celebrated the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as a rare federal program explicitly designed to identify waste and eventually eliminate itself, defending the appointment against criticism from Senator Elizabeth Warren. He raised a starker warning about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an effort already backed by fifteen states representing 189 electoral votes that would functionally bypass the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment, arguing it would concentrate presidential campaigning in a handful of major cities. Kirk separately traced the roughly $1.2 trillion student loan crisis to federal control over 93% of all student lending, arguing that guaranteed government-backed loans let colleges keep raising tuition without consequence. Bill O'Reilly, promoting his book on historical evil, described entering what he called a new global age of atrocity, a framing offered as his own interpretation rather than a claim about federal policy specifically.
