But what I do believe is that you've got to figure out how to empower President Trump and Elon to continue to keep the lights on, to carry out Doge, to identify the cuts and the waste that we've been identifying in a mere six weeks, by the way, to add on to what we'd already started doing as fiscal conservatives two years ago through the speaker's fight.
