And, you know, to be fair, Kelly Loeffler, who's the administrator at the SBA, has done some great work in the first year.

She's...

mandated the first ever audit.

She's reduced the percentage of race-based contracting from 15% to 5%.

But I think what's happened is that she feels hemmed in by legal considerations.

It may not be technically a DEI program.

It's more like an affirmative action contracting program.

The native tribes have sovereignty issues that make them somewhat of an exception to race-based rules.

But the bottom line is that it hasn't got done.

It needs to get done.

And I was fielding calls yesterday from the White House after this story came out.

And look, the White House assures me we're working on it.

It's been stalled.

We're trying to get it done.

We think there's gonna be imminent action.

But what I think needs to happen and what could happen is simply to say this program is unconstitutional.

We're going to refuse to administer it.

We'll fight it in the courts where we think we have a pretty good shot because look, the courts have been pretty clear about this stuff.

Race based contracting, especially a race based contracting that says, you know, any group in the country can apply except for one white man is totally unfair.

It's totally illegal.
