What is Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency? And how will it compare to a similar initiative from the Clinton administration? David Osborne joins Elie Honig to break down the “DOGE.”
Osborne is director emeritus of the Reinventing America’s Schools Project at the Progressive Policy Institute. Previously, he served as senior advisor to Vice President Al Gore and helped coordinate the National Performance Review, a kind of predecessor to Trump’s DOGE.

Elie Honig:
From CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to CAFE Insider. I’m Elie Honig. This week we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, D-O-G-E, which he’s appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to run once he takes office. Joining me today to discuss is David Osborne. Now David is the director emeritus of the Reinventing America’s Schools Project at the Progressive Policy Institute. Previously, more relevant to today, he served as a senior advisor to Vice President Al Gore, and helped coordinate the National Performance Review, sometimes called the Reinventing Government Task Force, a DOGE 1.0, if you will. And that’s why David is our perfect guest for today. David, thanks for joining me.
David Osborne:
My pleasure.
