Oh, it's easy.

There's a lot of legacy stuff.

We just read today that the Pentagon failed its eighth audit in the last eight years.

So we have fraud, waste, and abuse.

We have programs that don't need to be in existence today.

They're mostly inside the land warfare arena.

So while we need to have a standing army, we do not need to have the size and the scope of the army that we have today.

People, and you've mentioned it many, many times on your show, Americans are not into invading other nations anymore.

We want to defend our homeland, hemispheric defense, and then we want to have the capacity to do that, and that requires having a Navy.

And our Navy, as I've mentioned over and over again, has been gutted, cut in half from 1986 until today, 600 ships to under 300 ships.

That's not acceptable.

So it's not a partisan thing to say zero out some of these Army programs.

That's not partisan.

That is called national security.

So the president's going to have to get involved with some of these army folks and he's going to have to cut some of these programs and the scope of them because they're pouring billions into them.

And every time we take a billion out of an army program, it's got to get pushed in to the shipbuilding program of the United States of America.

And as it was made known in this press conference today, that in turn turns into jobs for Americans, all kinds of new jobs, high paying jobs.

respectable jobs, careers that can make people proud to be Americans again and can build up our national security.

So I think it's gonna come across partisan and there's gonna be a great, as you said, they're the ones that are probably worrying the most now.

And there'll be a pushback and a campaign.
