Most prisons are state funded, like the vast majority.
There's federal stuff, but it's mostly state. You'd want to look at what your state does. I don't know the biggest drivers of cost increase. It's just everything costs more money than it used to.

It could be as old fashioned as just they route so much money through it. Yes. Who's to say someone didn't go, OK, I'm going to make it so point one percent ends up going into this side thing and no one will notice it. And it's part of our fees. There's a lot of mundane criminal activity that could happen. It could also be more organized criminal activity.

It could also be we suspect this is criminal activity and we deliberately keep our system feeble and not able to detect it because then we have plausible deniability like look the other way. Don't think too hard about it. There's so many different levels to it. I do want to push back a little that, frankly, if you've been around liberals enough, it is.

I actually talked to a friend of mine at the Daily Caller where they investigated one of those people who had like tons and tons of donations in their name. And they reached me like, do you really donate that many times? And the person said, yep, yep, I do. I watch the news all day. I get so worked up and I send them another $20. Of course, some of it is legitimate.

I mean, so it's I don't want to say like, oh, it's all fraud. There's a lot of passionate Democrats out there. They care a lot about politics. So much of what you've done is we need to train conservatives to care as much as the enemy does.

It really reflects how in the Obama era, 2008, that they had just a total lockdown on Silicon Valley. That's right. All the smart 28 year old tech guys come in. Let's make them the slickest website, the slickest app. And we're finally starting to catch up in that world.

Well, yes, thank you, Charlie. It's really a great honor to be able to speak with you. And I wanted to briefly say I really appreciated your previous interview with Secretary of Ag, Burke Rawlings. I'm a lifelong Eastern Oregon rancher, beef producer, family operation. And it's so great to have this new administration coming in and wanting to hear from the grassroots producers.

And that's what I wanted to emphasize. and let you and whomever else may be able to get our group. We have a group out here that is in the high desert that oftentimes gets ignored, but there's very many natural resource issues that we want to, that we need to get through to the administration, both in the Interior Department and with the Secretary of Ag.

We can combine and we just... But the main thing, I guess, Mr. Kirk, that I want to get through is that the administration and the undersecretaries must get down here to the grassroots producers.
