I mean, look, the most important thing, the most valuable thing that tech CEOs want is Data is power. Data fuels their businesses. And so the idea that someone like Elon Musk, who is in the tech industry, having all this access to our private personal information makes me incredibly uneasy. I also, by the way, agree that there is waste in our federal government.

There is bureaucracy that needs to be cut down in our federal government. And if you go back to the Clinton administration, I mean, he got rid of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. And I think that that did bode well for our economy. I mean, that was the last time we had an economic surplus in the United States.

Now, of course, he implemented higher taxes for the top marginal tax rate and stuff like that. But when it came to getting rid of the bureaucracy under the Clinton administration, there was more of a review process. And it wasn't this, you know, blind cutting of entire you know, departments or agencies.

And so I wish there was more method to it, more of a review to ensure that we're actually getting rid of individuals that we don't really necessarily need in our government. I don't like the fact that he has not. Well, Elon Musk didn't do this, but Russell Vought, who's now the head of the Office of Management and Budget and the deputy head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said,

has effectively halted all operations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I do not agree with that at all. That's literally the only federal government agency that's doing oversight of how the big banks are treating American citizens. They've returned $21 billion to Americans who have been defrauded by financial institutions. So that's where I have the biggest disagreement right now.

But in regard to doing an overview of what's happening with USAID. I have no problem with that. I think that there were good programs mixed in with a lot of waste and a lot of bad programs.

And hopefully we can bring those good programs back because, you know, building alliances and relationships through soft power, especially in African countries, which China is competing with us in basically having influence on. I think that's something we need to be considerate of. I mean, the
