Topics
Nathan Hager: 特朗普总统指示联邦机构配合埃隆·马斯克领导的政府效率部门进行职位削减,并限制只招聘必要职位。彭博社看到的一份白宫简报显示,各机构每离职四名员工才能招聘一名新员工。这一举动引发了民主党议员的强烈批评,他们认为这是在削弱政府职能。 Elon Musk: 我认为用纳税人的钱应该明智地用于对人民重要的事情上。评估每一项支出是否符合人民的最佳利益是常识。我预料到会受到严格审查。我也呼吁弹劾一些腐败和激进的官员。 Elizabeth Warren: 我认为特朗普通过他的“副总统”埃隆·马斯克试图关闭政府,这是非法的。他们实际上是通过关闭消费者金融保护局来排挤国家的金融警察。 Terry Haynes: 我认为特朗普政府已经得出结论,这是控制联邦政府规模的唯一方法。针对Doge努力的诉讼只是禁令,最终这些事情将得到充分的诉讼。在参议院需要60票的情况下,不可能快速有效地完成效率提升。他们不是在谈论结束整个项目,而是在净化河流,确保资金用于正确的事情。关注马斯克的人没有抓住重点,总统非常清楚地表示,马斯克是在为他工作,并受到他的批准。民主党在是否应该花时间喋喋不休地谈论马斯克,还是解决一系列实际帮助普通人的问题上,基本上是左右为难。那些没完没了地谈论马斯克,好像这是一场伟大的宪法危机的人,我认为他们错过了一个更大的重点。 Ken Griffin: 我认为马斯克会不惜一切代价去赢,我们需要在华盛顿的人也这样做。但我也认为特朗普的关税政策削弱了美国的竞争力,并引发盟友间的不信任。 President Trump: 我认为人民投票支持重大的政府改革,他们将会得到他们投票支持的东西。

On today's podcast: 1) Trump Directs Federal Job Cuts as Musk Defends DownsizingPresident Donald Trump directed agencies to work with Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting effort to slash their workforces, according to a White House official, his latest move to gut the federal bureaucracy.Trump’s action orders agency heads to coordinate with Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to “significantly reduce the size of the government” and “limit hiring to essential positions,” according to a White House fact sheet seen earlier Tuesday by Bloomberg News.2) Trump Hails Russian Release of American as He Preps Peace PlanPresident Donald Trump hailed the release of an American who had been detained in Russia, saying he hoped the move would allow the two nations to work toward ending the war in Ukraine.“I think there’s goodwill, in terms of the war,” Trump said as he greeted Marc Fogel, a school teacher held in Russia since 2021. “I think this could be the very important element, you could be a big part of it, actually, because it could be a big, important part of getting the war over with Ukraine.”3) US Core Inflation Seen Rising at Firm Pace in JanuaryInflation likely remained stubborn last month based on economists’ estimates, backing the Federal Reserve’s patient approach to lowering borrowing costs.The so-called core consumer price index that excludes food and energy is seen rising 0.3% in January from December in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report due Wednesday. From a year earlier, core CPI likely increased 3.1%, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
