In hour two, after chatting about indoor landscaping, we get to another Web Wisdom found by John, a mock interview with Elon Musk about the true intentions of DOGE. We hear a clip of Stephen Colbert about the efforts to defund the National Weather Service, and also find out why dismantling USAID was low-hanging fruit for Musk. Later, John covers (continued) use by Tesla child labor in cobalt mines, and a rapid-fire of other short stories. Closing out, we turn an eye to Musk and DOGE's next target: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
