And I look at how organizations have changed.
The FBI changed fundamentally on 9-11.
It became much more an intelligence agency than a criminal investigative agency.
They handed a lot of things, jurisdictions over to other federal agencies, the marshals, ATF, Secret Service, Treasury Department, things like that.
And the FBI today, just for example, just as an example, politics aside, I remember watching the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
and wondering and looking down and seeing people I knew and worked with carrying automatic weapons, standing outside and thinking to myself, wait a minute, the FBI is raiding the property owned by a former president of the United States.
It doesn't matter if it's Biden or Obama or Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan, the president of the United States is an institution constitutionally that we believe in.
And I thought to myself,
I would never, ever have anticipated that.
Having been in the Oval Office with Ronald Reagan, I actually ate jelly beans.
You know, he's known for his jelly beans.
I actually ate jelly beans out of the bowl.
So I swore an oath on the Constitution to protect the Constitution of the United States at the risk of my own life.
And that has happened plenty of times.
I embrace First Amendment conversations about all of these things, because if you can't confront the truth, if you can't look at it in meaningful and almost always painful ways, it's not easy to go back and look at these things and say, I was part of this, I was part of that, and oh, it's okay.
I've never said that.
If we can't look at those things in terms, we'll never grow.
And I'm not sure we're growing right now.
I think it's very difficult times.
Can we take one of these at a time?
