It was sort of installed under the Dodd-Frank, I believe it was, piece of legislation. They always disliked it, but at least I guess it was a piece of legislation that allowed for it. So I think there's questions about how it would work. Now, I am a little bit concerned about

Elon Musk having decision making power over too much, especially as he's now also, you know, on X, he can kind of decide a lot of who gets amplified and who doesn't and how much reach you have. He's amassing a great amount of power and he's now moving into Europe as well. Um, I want to know more about it.

And this is something that I've been meaning to ask, particularly some of my friends that have worked had worked in the first administration office of management budget, because typically, wouldn't you think that would fall under OMB, which is going to be ran once again by Russ Vogt. So I've been meaning to ask them how this would work, how Doge will work with OMB.

And I think they could probably give us some good perspective. So maybe in another week, Naomi, I'll have some better answers for you on that. I've been meaning that as my homework.

It shouldn't be, but, you know, here we are. I know, it is.

So right before we jumped on, I was on a call and I was talking to someone, you know, working with transition, and they suggested that it could be Morgan Ortegas. She was just nominated as, you know, the deputy special envoy, I think is what it's called. You know, there's all these titles to the Middle East. She's a Trump, first Trump administration official.

She was a spokesperson, State Department spokesperson, but she's been a very rapid anti-Trumper and she's a chameleon. Her positions change, you know, all over the place. He, if you saw the announcement that Trump put out in his nomination of Morgan Ortegas, it was all I don't want to do this. This is her record. But the Republicans, who turns out to be Lindsey Graham, told me I have to do this.

A lot of people thought it was funny. And he said, these things usually don't turn out well. We'll see. So apparently there's some suggestion that right after, you know, they're inaugurated and he gets his people in.

Apparently, this is the word on the street. Lindsey Graham and a couple other senators told Donald Trump that if he didn't appoint Morgan Ortegas, they wouldn't confirm people like RFK and Pete Hexath. Specifically, those two names were mentioned. So this person suggested to me that maybe she's the first to go. Yeah.
