Yeah, I just think there's a conspiracy or I don't know what you want to call it. The populism. There's probably a very we said the know nothing party, you know, back in the 1840s. Yeah, the know nothings.

So there is this element that believes the stuff that anybody that's an incumbent is bad. All these generals were bad. Russia, not so bad. Ukraine, they're taking our money. There's a whole ecosystem out here that are living on certain social media and cable, and that's what they hear. And I see them. I got, like, folks with 2 million followers that don't like me because I believe in them.

But they all feed off each other, and they believe that Gerald Hawk was bad. For no reason. They had a reason. Because General Milley was the chairman when he became the commander of Cyber Command. So guilt by association in their mind because General Milley was not elected.

And I would say the same thing to General Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He got fired for no reason. They did offer a reason. I don't know of a reason to fire him. And all that does is hurt us. It puts us on our heels. And it creates a lack of trust at the very top. I know some of these generals, and they're like, Don, I could be next. And you know what?

I don't mind getting fired if I did something wrong. But in this case, these are just guys that are getting fired for the whims of whoever

That's how we got the Republican Party to begin with. They broke off the Whigs. And we have Fremont as our first nominee, then Abraham Lincoln. Not a bad run. Yeah, it was a pretty good run. You're right. We have the populist wing. We have the Reagan wing. And I am clearly on the Reagan wing of this party. The Democrat Party, I would say, too, has their populists.
