“There's never been an election where me or the host were like, 'Let's talk to the new chief of staff at the Office of Management and Budget.' I can't wait to hear what that person is doing.” But now you're like one of the most important people in the entire country,” host Mike Slater pointed out.
Mr. Martin agrees that the firm is one of the “most important offices that you know of as the reach of America expands,” and explains what exactly the office does. explained.
“You know, it's a lot different than it was over 100 years ago. It's just gotten bigger. One of the important places. It's called the Office of Management and Budget because they have to manage all these departments. They have to have the money to run them. They have to manage them. They have to have a policy. So when you talk about kind of the back office, the boiler room, of the administration of the President of the United States, that's the OMB,” he said. He explained that he is working on a budget and how that money is spent. That includes “everything like knowing who's doing what and being able to reverse bad choices.”
His manager was Russell Vought, who Martin said was one of the key players.
“He was in that position for the last two years of the Trump administration's first term. He's a really sharp guy. He's a really smart guy. When you talk about one of the key figures in this country, he's a really sharp guy. He's one of the really important people. He's a great conservative. “From, you know, it's all going to be a big thing, and I say it's important, but I think it's the most important place to work in government,” Martin said. That's before explaining how it works in conjunction with Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE.
“And Elon and Vivek decided to do this DOGE thing, the president signed it, and all of their work is in coordination with OMB. … If you want to change the administration, you can't just go out and talk. We have to figure that out. And we can't really plan on passing a bill. It's going to take a long time,” he said, noting that “all deregulation goes through OMB.”
“It has to be managed through the OMB division. Anyway, Vivek and Elon have been working with Russ Vought. I'm going to meet with one of Elon's seniors after this today,” Martin said, adding that six months ago, he was referring to DOGE. admitted that he would have thought it was “a pipe dream”.
listen:
“I would have said six months ago that DOGE is a pipe dream. You know, as everyone says, everyone thinks they're going to reform the government, but then they step in and the government wins. “The DOGE boys have a good chance, because they know and they know how to use it,” he said, adding, “The DOGE boys have a good chance, because they know and they know how to use it.” Using the tools, Elon using the PR machine, we using the nuts and bolts to change things. ”
Martin noted that both Musk and Ramaswamy could have asked to head the department, but they wanted to see the entire playing field.
“You want to grab a man's attention, you want to grab a man's wallet, right? Look, we control the money that goes into the government, from the department, from the Treasury to the department. So, for example, hundreds of millions of dollars spent If you want to get people's attention on USAID, it seems to me like a CIA clipping. It looks like they're doing nonsense to America, OMB can say they have the money to tell you if you guys are actually doing what this president wants. It's on hold until we make a decision, which we intend to do.”
“And those boys saw it right away and were like, ‘Okay, okay.’ Let’s work together,” he added.
