How do you get Democrats in on this, Sax? How do you push them to join the party, to join the movement, to be more efficient, to be more transparent? Is there a possibility for us to get some coordination here with the other side or no?

Prebrook, any final thoughts here before we move on from Doge wishing Elon and Vivek as much success as possible? We've really, I mean, everybody should be rooting for this. You want to give us your final thoughts?

Elon got off the fences, switched parties.

Maybe it's you talking about Ray Dalio and the end of the empire for three years on this podcast. Maybe you did it, Freeberg. We give you credit.

I mean, I think it's got a chance.

They're going to have to be very strategic about how they pick. If they detailed what they're doing, yeah. The Doge teams is going to have to be very strategic to pick things that are consensus building that don't make people feel like, This is going to grind the poor more and make the rich richer. That's the expectation.

That's the expectation.

That's going to be the negative framing on this, I predict, which is just a bunch of rich guys making cuts, talking their books, making cuts for things that are their pet projects, their investments. They have to come out and not make it that. They have to make it, here's inefficiency, here's inefficiency, here's inefficiency.

They have to come out and not make it that. They have to make it, here's inefficiency, here's inefficiency, here's inefficiency.

And a great way to do that would be to say the efficiency gains and the tax cuts are going to go to people making, let's say, under $250,000. These cuts are not being made just to make the rich richer. That's going to be the framing.

Well, you could do what's right, and you could start with things that are the most wasteful. If you start cutting kids' lunches or Pell Grants, or you start cutting people's jobs in healthcare or education that people perceive are helping people, I think you're going to just feed into this narrative that it's a way to cut taxes on rich people. And you know what? You do need to build consensus.

If you cut regulations and a bunch of our companies benefit from it, just to be self-aware, the framing is already that this is an effort for companies that we invest in to have less regulation, to make the equity holders in those companies more rich. You have to make sure that the, hold on. It's for all Americans.

You have to make sure the savings is for all Americans and that all Americans benefit from it. And the way they benefit it, the best framing they could do is your taxes are going to be lower because you're not wasting your tax dollars. If they can keep to that, not, hey, we're moving regulations so that our companies get bigger.
