Well, holding the line always leads to discussions of government shutdown, which, you know, we've learned many times. And, you know, Donald Trump hasn't necessarily been hurt by government shutdown. So I don't think... I would rule that possibility out. That said, just for, you know, interesting political dynamics, where's Elon Musk and Vivek when you need them, right?

Like, weren't they supposed to be tasked with finding the spending cuts that we're going to need in the future? Like, this would be the time that they should be recommending them to Congress. And so if I were Chip Roy,

My question here, if I were Chip Roy, I would... I would be thinking about saying, well, hey, Elon Musk signed up to have spending cuts. And so I look forward to having a meeting with him and finding the biggest cuts possible to do this.

I would try to be enlisting him into this because the reality is they want to have this fake congressional committee spending commission to make cuts to programs they don't like to hurt people that challenge their interests, right? That's actually what Elon wants to do. But Bring them into the fold. Right. Like you signed up for this, Vivek. Like we need this many cuts to make this work.

Let's let's go. You know, the Democrats should be similarly like calling on them. Like, where is it? Where is it? Because. We do need to find a way to get to reality earlier on. And if this just becomes an endless process of kicking the can down the road, having a reconciliation bill where we don't pay for any tax cuts, which has happened numerous times before, it doesn't really get anywhere.

And this is the question of what actual policy wins do Republicans expect to achieve with Trump? And I think that's a very big, big, big open question.
