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.

You know, you have AOC gunning after Schumer right now because he dared to keep the government open. And so it's... And I do think – I used to think of politics as a linear thing, but it really is a horseshoe that closes at the top. And you have our populist wing. They're now voting with AOC on a whole variety of national security measures, Ukraine, FISA, the defense budget, you name it.

They've gone all the way over, and they're together. And – I think we started off our show this way. When I talk to Democrats today, the traditional ones, they sound like Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, my main goal is not to win. My main goal is to be on the right side and try to make a case and try to pull people over. With that attitude, you can't get hurt because if a door shuts, another door is going to open. That's how I look at it. God's in charge.

Well, up until now, it's been love of country. I mean, I really believe my mission, serve God, serve my country. Being a Republican is not, you know, I'm that way because that's what I believe. But it's more about my beliefs than being part of a team. That's my compass. But you must be exhausted. But it's about serving our country. I love Abraham Lincoln. I love Ike Eisenhower.
