You and I were in the military when that agency was formed, right?

Right after 9-11.

And Miles makes the case and he basically says, you know, it needs to be dismantled.

It needs to be dismantled and rebuilt because right now it's being used to terrorize Americans.

It was a young department.

It didn't have the...

Oh, how do I say this?

It didn't have the history and the traditions of like the Department of Defense, and therefore it was susceptible to abuse and corruption.

And, you know, he said, look, FEMA is a disaster right now, you know, and all of these entities underneath DHS have become corrupt and more political, right?

And he has come out and said sort of what I've said is that some of these agencies, they need to have an apolitical future, meaning they have to be disconnected or at least their leadership has to have a tenure that does not associate itself with an administration.

Just FEMA itself, there's reports that, you know, the White House has slow walked disaster relief to blue states.

I mean, everything has become so insanely political and people don't trust these agencies anymore.

And that's a huge concern of mine.

Yeah.

Well, I've watched DHS over my years in the military, and, you know –

They shifted from being this sort of protect the homeland, maybe anti-terrorist.

Now it's, you know, the focus is on terrorizing Americans and going after our neighbors.

I mean, it just really has shifted.

Yeah.

Well, I've never been a fan of presidential pardons.
