On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” 2024 presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said that he wants to eliminate the Departments of Education, Commerce, and Energy, along with the IRS and if Congress won’t do so, “I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”
After DeSantis said he would “bring major accountability to the DOJ, to the FBI, IRS.” Host Martha MacCallum asked, “Are you in favor of eliminating any agencies? I know conservatives in the past have talked about closing the Department of Education. Would you do that?”
DeSantis answered, “So, we would do Education, we would do Commerce, we’d do Energy, and we would do IRS. And so, if Congress will work with me on doing that, we’ll be able to reduce the size and scope of government.”

That would be beyond awesome. Highly doubtful though.
I also want to eliminate Washington DC, Congress, Hollywood, Klaus Schwab, Justin Trudeau....oh, and I want a spotted pony.
I will add a /sarc tag to make sure I don’t get accused of some kind of “ism”
ROFL!
“And so, if Congress will work with me on doing that”
Easy to run on a popular platform without the power to carry out promises. No accountability when Congress gives you plausible deniability. Weasel words.
I’d give him a chance over someone who had the chance and didn’t even try to cut anything.
Oh ya his donors will let him get right on that
Lock up Hillary on your way out please.
Is it even possible for anyone to do that? And how might it be done?
Not being sarcastic but truly interested as this comes up from time to time and seems to be dismissed as impossible by all concerned after a bit of pontificating.
Sure. Sure. Don’t forget to “defund NPR” while you’re at it! Lol!
I’ll take “stuff that will NEVER happen for $100, Alex.
Uncle Joe has voided the constitution. The only way to get it back is to play by democrat rules. He could do it with executive orders. However, as at least those departments are part are cabinet level agencies I think he could do it.
Agencies are created by Congress. If they can create them, they can also eliminate them by eliminating the legislation that spawned them. Simple, right?
I’d say yes to that...
He fought Donald Duck to a draw. What do you think Big Bird will do to him?
"I've got a million of 'em"
All DeSantis' donors are former Trump donors.
He’d do well to fire every single employee in the State Dept.
Sounds great, Big D.
The check is in the mail.
“DeSantis: I Want to Eliminate, Education, Commerce, Energy Departments, and IRS”
One again, a PERFECT assignment for a VP.
Sure enough. I do think justice for the crimes of that one will be dished out by the Creator as He casts that foul thing into the Lake of Fire.
