And he thinks that America was founded as a Christian nation and it needs to return to those roots.

Well, obviously, we've heard a lot from Trump about the deep state and you get some of that kind of attack on the civil service. There's a frustration that civil servants are at worst liberals who are there to kind of implement their policy vision and are going to slow walk anything that the president wants to do. At best, they're kind of lazy. You know, they're there to clock in and clock out.

And they're just they're not trying. They're not on board. And that's a problem if you're trying to move the government in another direction, which they were trying to do. But they have almost as much frustration, maybe even more frustration with the political appointees with whom they worked in the first Trump administration. I mean, I think the anger is really striking.

They saw these people coming in and they were either out for themselves, they thought, or they were lazy or they were holdovers from the George W. Bush Republican Party who were there to stop Trump or to moderate some of his impulses. And, you know, I think for Dan, this is very personal. He thought he was going to get a great job in the Justice Department. You know, at the beginning of 2017.

You know, this is all kinds of people. They wanted people who they said, you know, had run for local school board meetings.
