And so everyone is in on this scam.

I think everyone knows that it's a dirty business.

It's totally corrupt, totally unjust.

But I think it needed the attention because what's really happened is that it fell under people's radar.

It's not a headline story for many people.

There's a lot of exciting things happening in the news.

But the reason I wanted to draw attention to it is because this should be an easy layup for the administration.

We don't do DEI.

We don't do race-based decision-making.

It's gone.

That's what I'd like to see, and I'm optimistic that we'll get there.

I mean, part of it is just it's an automatic, renewable expense.

It takes a lot of political capital to say we're going to take this existing program that is benefiting Native Americans and the children of sharecroppers and all of these kind of this mythology around it.

They don't want to be the big, bad Republican who's cutting minority contracts.

But I think the deeper reason is psychological.

And the psychological reason is this.

A lot of these guys, Republican congressmen, Republican senators, for many years were deathly afraid of being called racist, of being called bigoted, of being called cruel, of facing the scrutiny of the national news media.

And at the end of the day, it really took a figure like President Trump to come in there and say, hey, wait a minute.

I don't care what you call me.

I've been through the media ringer.
