00:00There's obviously people who don't like the president. People who, and even those who don't
00:04like him, miss the peace and prosperity of the first term. And I have every confidence that that
00:09will return. But again, this is a common sense revolution. I don't know that a lot of people
00:14would disagree with fixing the border. I don't know that people would disagree with improving
00:19government efficiency. The same people that complain about Doge also complain that they've
00:23only got $150 billion in savings so far. It's going to be a long process. This is a bureaucracy
00:30that has grown for the last, really the last hundred years or at least 90 since FDR to
00:36unsustainable levels. We have $36 trillion in debt. $11 or $12 trillion of that came just in the last
00:42four years of the Biden administration. So the president just didn't necessarily run as a
00:47spending cutter. But I think it's absolutely necessary in order to someday get to a balanced
00:56budget. But more importantly, the current debt trajectory is unsustainable. We're paying a
01:03trillion dollars just in debt service. That's more than we spend on defense. It's more than we spend
01:07on Medicare. Or Medicaid, sorry. This is a really difficult time. So you might like all these
01:16government programs that feel good, that look good, but they're unsustainable. So they're cutting
01:21out a lot of waste and fraud. They're cutting out things that are unnecessary. They're keeping the
01:26things that are necessary. They're moving some of these aid programs, you know, from AID to other
01:32departments if it's critical.
