Well, the question is why they're going up, what the enticement is. I would like to see Doge take on the military-industrial complex. And this is the first time we've had a Republican environment where they're open to it. Usually the Pentagon has been sacrosanct for them.

You can take the high-end estimate with trans people in the military is somewhere between 2,000 and 15,000, depending on whose number you want.

You have over 2 million people. I don't think that's the issue. But the idea of what are you doing with your defense department and what are you funding and why are you funding it, I can't think of an agency that needs it more than that one does.

It's hard to find special operators these days, which is really the majority of our presence and what we're doing, who don't believe that you're about 20 years past due when we needed to completely shift what our military does. So now, why are you starting somewhere else? Well, I think you want some early wins. And you want where it's manageable and there's going to be less pushback.

Can you imagine if President Trump, let's not see Elon Musk because he's too easy to push back again. The guy hasn't even been vetted, let alone have that kind of authority. But if Trump says, I want to go line by line in the Defense Department and DOD, Pentagon, all of it. And I really want to cut things. And I'm not just talking about $300 toilets.

I think that there would be a lot of Republican pushback. And the question is, well, then establishment Republican pushback or Republican pushback? Members of Congress whose constituencies eat from that trough heavily. And you know who else is going to come into play? The oligarchs, the real ones, the guys who get the real big contracts, which are defense contractors.

And they're going to come in and say no. And that's a really interesting fight. I don't have a problem with that. I know, but we're also not having to do it. You know what I mean? That's a lot of money, a lot of power.

It's where we're farthest behind, and we live this all the time. We have real, easy hacking access. People take down our companies, our platforms all the time. And it is the most ignored thing. I mean, just think about it. If guys went to a railway station, they went to Amtrak, and they took over Penn Station, it would be a national story for three days.

It would be a huge thing, and everybody would have to die, right? They take it offline on a regular basis. China takes our power grid offline in different areas on a regular basis. And we never even talk about it. And then the only pushback, well, we do the same stuff to them. I don't care what we do to anybody else in this context. So it's a real conversation to have.

I don't know that it gets had. I think you start with USAID for a reason. It's easy pickings. It's low fruit. This would be a real fight.

I Ain't No Senator's Son. That song, when they wrote it in the 60s, is applicable today. I Ain't No Senator's Son. Who was it? Creedence Clearwater Revival?
