sharp paring down of government, I do think what you're going to see is that most of what government does will still work. Now, I think people right now are worried that they're cutting so much that it's going to destroy things. But I can tell you, I was...

at usa during a shutdown when most of the employees were not allowed to work and a lot of the you know stuff most important stuff was still getting done and uh you know i said there's good people in government there's a lot of people who aren't pulling their weight and so you know i think if americans see that in fact we can save a bunch of money by you know removing it shrinking the workforce and i think also dealing with other forms of corruption i think you know entitlement

Well, the most popular program with Congress is what's called PEPFAR. And that is a program to give drugs to people in poor countries to keep them from dying of AIDS. And so that has actually been granted. The Trump administration has, I think, generally been okay with that. And so that program I think is likely to continue. There are some things that are actually very much in our interests.

We don't want to allow one person to do everything they want because we may sympathize with that person now, but tomorrow it could be somebody with very different motives. So I think that is going to put some serious constraints. I will say, actually, I've been surprised at how fast they've been able to move, especially with Doge. I think they...

Yeah, I don't think there's probably anything that would be unfixable. I do think there'll be some short-term pain that... may be unnecessary. Whether you can avoid that, I'm not sure. But there's companies... You can't.
