Russ Vought ran the Office of Management and Budgets under President Trump in the first administration, and there is a strong likelihood he will again.
Mr Vought sat down with Tucker Carlson for a lengthy interview outlining what he learned about how the deep state actually works. WATCH:

Audit Everything!
Follow the Money and show all Americans what pockets if any monies ended up in.
Maybe Elon should do another poll and ask Americans what bucket should be the first to get the Elon/Vivek deep dive audit?
In Trump I trust
Claw every damn dime back. Offshore, houses, checking account. Benefiting from as a family member, seize it.
Tax payers money. Those lofty salaries. Retirement packages, bonuses. The dirt on the floor, before you sell it out from under them. Seize it.
Haul them in front of a judge, criminally and civilly.
Elon already talked about defunding NGOs (which everyone knows are really GOs). That’s a ton of power gone from the left and from the cya. I think he’s got a good plan.
Exexutive Orders 13818 and 13848 makes it so.

DEPT OF DEFENSE
Good question, but actually they cannot pursue this project serially. They, with an army of myrmidons, will have to go after dozens of targets simultaneously. Furthermore, they have to go after the big problems first, because as time goes on the the lower priority targets will have time understand the tactics being deployed, and so will be able to start developing defensive tactics, which will slow down the overall campaign.
So the better question is what should be the high priority targetS to go after first.
I would suggest the following roughly in the order listed:
The CIA because this will be the most dangerous opponent
The DOJ
The FBI
The IRS
The DOD this will probably require full attention up to July 4, 2026
NSA
SSA
Medicare
Medicaid
NIH
FDA
CDC
DOE
NASA

I disagree. Each silo will have a captain. Immediately removing rot and excess from each one puts them on the defensive and forces the Deep State to come up with outside funding for the exemployees and the push back. They will not be able to use our money against us.
Trump needs to know going in how much fat needs to be removed in each area. That has to be decided now; so that on Day 1, Trump is the storm.

Can we ask Elon to get porn off all the government computers too?
That’s funny. True though.
Start with getting porn and cocaine out of the White House. Totally agree with you. Anyone caught with porn is escorted out of the building immediately.
Free Trump: Hey, FedGov has to offer some incentive for employees to work.
Porn, anti Trump blogging and day trading – a plague when government employees are handed a free computer and paid desk time. With zero accountability for an actual work product.
They’d be back to the abacus
This is must watch Tucker w/ Vought.
add: So I’m watching ( this guy Vought is terrific, hope he sweeps in w/ POTUS )
and a Tucker commericial comes on and Tucker begins to extol the virtues of some nicotine pouches he eats and apparently now advertises and I’m giving this actually interesting advert my full attention and as it ends and Tucker warns of the addictive nature of nicotine he then says earnestly:
“It’s addictive! Nicotine is. That’s why we like it!!”
Commercial ends with Tucker’s famous cackle! and in today’s world of “don’t do this, don’t do that”.
I for once! chuckled along with Tucker. But then, I used to sing along with Mitch.
Vought was a regular on Bannon’s Warroom. Yes, I find him to be excellent also.
Some believe nicotine itself isn’t addictive but chemical additives are.
My dad had this box on the wall that held a carton worth of single packs of cigarettes stacked neatly and at the bottom was a slot to pull out a pack as needed.
On the front of the box, in very fancy print, was this poem:
Tobacco is a dirty weed–I like it.
It satisfies no normal need–I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean.
It’s the worst darn stuff I’ve ever seen–I like it.
Nothing in there about addiction but using it in spite of all the things it does…makes you wonder…
Totally agree, delighted to see Sundance post it. I need to listen again, so much said and referenced.
He helped fund the $$$ to fund the Wall 1.0, so that’s a great start.
BTW, Biden today announced $4 Billion in new international give aways today.
We need to stop items like this on Day One.
Re the Wall: Hessco barriers are built around every US military installation on earth. They can’t be climbed or easily penetrated. Made by Hess Co.
Cheap and fast, a Wall could be built along the ENTIRE US southern border for about $1-2 billion in 1-2 years by the Army Corps of Engineers, directly under the orders of the Commander in Chief, the President.
16 feet high, a special mesh ‘tarp’ is filled with dirt and rock, the trench dug can be used as a moat / trap barrier. That simple, and pretty impervious to everything. Leave of course crossings for animal migration as is done over the interstate for the elk in the western states.
Jerome Corsi tried to tell the first Trump admin, but I’m sure he was shut out and the message never got through.
I like this guy. He is great with numbers.
I have seen him on Bannon’s WarRoom. He was always good at explaining the horrible budget proposals from congress and the senate. He had common sense proposals of his own.
I believe in this position he has the power to okay whatever cuts Vivek and Musk at DOGE come up with.
“I believe in this position he has the power to okay whatever cuts Vivek and Musk at DOGE come up with”.
I agree. With this guy on board they could take it on the road as a trio.
People like this make for dream team kind of stuff. I’d never heard him in any detail like this. Funny lookin’ sharp cat. I mean he looks kinda like a Democrat lol
I too have heard him frequently on the Warroom and would always make a point of listening to him!
It’s gonna be tricky this week to get the time to listen to the entire Tucker interview but I will fit it in somehow…
However, the important thing is that he does indeed get back to OMB.
This is the week that PDJT is rumored to make the economic appointments.
And I suspect the Blobsters at OMB will be having quite the reaction to seeing this man walk back in.
Same here. He’s brilliant
Totally agree-completely committed and competent-and great at explaining the complexities of the processes
This guy has lived it.
He is so low key and so comprehensive about every critical topic. A national treasure .Be ready to have Trump’ back and make sure the deep state gets fully exposed when they try to take him down.
Screw it. You can’t be afraid of lawsuits. Give an order, get a refusal, fire him on the spot and have security watch as he cleans out his desk and leaves. Screw “schedule f” or whatever that was. The President IS the boss and everyone is an at-will employee, no matter what internal “policy” says (President can abolish the policy at will) and regardless of any emplyment protection statutes Congress passes (President runs his own branch and congress can’t interfere).
This guy is too timid. Go in with a flamethrower, and any answer other than “you got it boss” gets you fired. Period.
Or, Fire them in the evening and padlock the door so they can’t get in the building the next morning…clean out their desk and take their personal belongings to them in the parking lot.
That works too.
That’s how the democrats do it, they pull their stunt and then dare anyone to defy them.
He’s far from timid. He’s simply describing the way it was when he was there last time, so that the nation can understand and get on board with the clear-cut approach we need.
In my oh so humble opinion of course.
But I have been watching Russ for years.

Mr. President, Who On Earth is Vetting Your MAGA Appointees? Part 2
By Kelleigh Nelson|November 18th, 2024
https://newswithviews.com/mr-president-who-on-earth-is-vetting-your-maga-appointees-part-2/
I like Kelleigh Nelson’s articles. But, she needs to stop armchair quarterbacking President Trump. She is pushy, impatient, and rigid. Perhaps she should send her resume to PTrump and see if she can fit in.
Meanwhile President Trump is in timely process of picking his administration and Kelleigh needs to quit menstruating from the mouth – or at least try mouth-menstruating only 5 days a month.
Russ Vought is amazing. I am surprised President Trump has not yet made an announcement.
The Center for Revewing America has some heavy hitters
I like Russ. He did some solid work fighting DEI stuff too while in Trump’s admin. I’ve never seen an administration official do what he did — solicit tips on Twitter/X to himself personally which he would directly act on. Pretty cool stuff.
I believe Vought was also part of the Mick Mulvaney team… and I liked Mulvaney until he got weak in the knees and ankle grabbed at the end. But Mulvaney worked with Rand Paul to come up with a pretty solid budget plan to cut a number of Departments entirely. Hopefully that budget is still sitting on Rand’s desk somewhere, and he can be useful in that regard instead of just throwing roadblocks “out of principle” in front of PDJT.
Mick never recovered from that disastrous press conference and then he went wobbly and finally fell right off the edge
I will always see a cantaloupe when I hear or read Mulvaney’s name.
Rand can just give a copy to his Dad who is working with Elon.
I hope he already has.
A very rewarding investment of time…. THIS guy knows the enemy
I agree. Only heard it after hearing Jeff Clark telling Bannon about it earlier. Began listening and SD popped up the thread at the same time. Was a good education on process etc. Gotta have this guy back in.
We should slash the military funding dramatically… there’s enormous graft and other waste there.
It worked for Twitter; in fact, our military might once again be able to function when the fat is cut.
FOURTH BRANCH!!
Sundance does it again!!
Let’s work on an Amendment repealing the Seventeenth and adding Senator Recall power!
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
Until reading your comments, Maquis I just assumed that as legisltures appointed U.S. Senators, that they could recall them.
I stand,..er sit,..er lie down, corrected.
Make all Federal employees return to the office.
Most of the public doesn’t realize there’s also a government contractor for government employees. It’s a redundant redundancy!
I heard some Senator say on any given day only 17% of federal government employees are in the office. Can you imagine how little gets done from their work at home and the appalling waste?
so that’s roughly 1.5 million non-essential personnel we can fire right there…
And how many “working from home” actually have built a home business, and THATS what they are doing all day.
I love Russ. I’ve never seen him in long form. He’s a great man.
This guy needs to work hand in glove with Elon and Vivek and get things done.
150% on point. Music to my ears.
Let the Leftist head explode.
What has been the taxpayer cost of four years of total failed Biden/Harris oversight, of all federal agencies under the Office of the President? Show me one agency that has a clean balance sheet.
Mike Benz knows some Deep State, I hope he gets back in.
Schedule F.
Let the incoming fire show its hand.
Very good interview. Learned a lot. Very interesting
Watched the entire interview – Excellent! Vought has some very good, specific ideas worth hearing. I do hope he is brought back to OMB.
Watched the entire interview. So encouraging. I praise God that He Is answering prayer and surrounding President Trump with truly intelligent (and Godly) men like Mr. Vought.
Thought it said Voight as in “Jon” Voight” who oddly enough I just saw in an old Gunsmoke episode from 1969 called “The Prisoner”. Miss Kitty wins his freedom in a poker game. He and some other actors deserve immense praise for putting themselves out there for PDJT. We plan to watch “Reagan” this weekend which includes Voight and Dennis Quaid. God Bless America
Great interview. I certainly hope he is put in that position.
I would like a ” LIST” of those books and others similar to what he mentioned.
Devin Nunes= faithful, practicing Catholic!!! Love him!!!
That’s fantastic. Watching again to catch any nuances that I missed the first time.
This man explained OMB and it’s function so that even I could understand it. I’m impressed. This is exactly the kind of people we need.
I never knew who this was. So I sat down and watched the whole thing and came out truly amazed. And hopeful.
If PDJT can surround himself with this type of person there will be the change we voted for.
OMB for sure.
Thank you Sundance. This was amazing ! I plan on forwarding it to all my contacts. I will be praying for this man.
YUP this guy gives you a little window into how things are really done.
“Why don’t we have more Devin Nunez’s?”
wow! at 40:50… stellar! gracias, sundance!
Regarding their conversation about the inability to terminate career civil service employees.
Transfer them. Pay them, but give them no authority. Transfer them to a new, glass Federal building in Alaska or the Mojave Desert. Glass, because they are assigned a desk, given a government computer with maybe ONE application on it, and no connectivity anywhere. No personal phones or computers allowed. They sit at a glass desk, 8 hours a day, then go home, do nothing, and get paid. They can’t speak with anyone else except in SCIF’s, which are never available. They can stay employed as long as they enjoy “the Japanese treatment, i.e. how they deal with people who can’t be fired.
Don’t fight the civil service lawyers. Offer them a termination, with a lump sum severance payment, or mandatory transfer.
OldSalt, this is absolutely stellar. Standing ovation!
“You see how much they change once we lay the bs on them”
That’s why PDJT skipped the PDBs.

I was so happy to hear Mr. Vought is edifying himself on this issue that he admits is new to him – he will be instrumental to making the changes to the “healthcare” juggernaut.
Dropping the Biden Ukraine project
In order to pivot to the Mideast project
Valuable discussion.
I have a question that the smart kids might be able to answer. Russ has already been confirmed by congress in a previous administration. Does that count now? If nominated would he be able to start on Day 1?
I believe it does, and its how PDJT was able to put Grennell in as ODNI, because he had already been confirmedby the Senate.
Thanks for posting this Sundance. This one is huge. What a thoughtful brave person Russ Vought is. Helps to educate us on all your work about the Deep State.
Good luck to your average Marxist with that.
They are the types that put a piece of cardboard on a sidewalk, throw a handful of dirt on it, and then an uprooted plant, and expect food to result.
Mr. Vought, delivers a true “Masters Class” on the 4th branch of government, the unaccountable, the ones that are trying to dismantle our constitutional republic.
Sundance has always explained the silo’s and compartmentalization of the non elected, Mr. Vought, explained the entire failure of government and how we have gotten to where we are at this point in time.
Long video and needed to watch it in segments and replay some parts but this is a must watch and learn video for all to take in.
If anyone can, he can. Wit the Dems in disarray, and engaged in circular firing squad actions as they laughably TRY to come to grips with “what happened” they are not available for their usual distraction duty, and so he and we can focus our attention on the true enemy within the gates, the RINO’s who frankly seem just as clueless as the Dems, in recognising the cosmic shift that has occurred.
A Presidents true power lies in his popularity, his “bulley pulpit ” and PDJT has the strongest one we have seen in most of our lives.
And, that he is bringing in such an accomished team of outsiders, who are as impatient as him to MAGA and MAHA, .I am pretty confident he WILL be able to do it.
And I imagine the architects of the 2020 Steal having regrets they didn’t just let him win in 2020.
