Even between China and Tesla, I think it's going to take a long time to make vast numbers of humanoid robots. The best way to encourage this reshoring is just making it easier to do business in America.

No, I'll just say three really quick points. Like first, what Howard Lutnick literally said was if we can find a lot of waste, fraud and abuse, we don't have to raise the retirement age. Everybody's talking about raising the retirement age to 70. If we administer these programs more efficiently, we can keep it at 65. And, you know, that's good for everyone.

The second thing is, it's just interesting to me. There's so much doubt about this when the inspector generals of, you know, both Biden and and Obama, you know, said there were hundreds of billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. And I would just say someone in my immediate family has had their social security, their identity stolen.

And someone is using their social security number to collect unemployment benefits in Alabama. And this has been going on for two years and they've been unable to stop it. And so, you know, you don't want to rely too much on anecdote, but I think this is really happening.

And then just the third thing I would just say is I do think, you know, no one has ever raised, no president has ever raised my taxes more than Trump did. And I think they are pretty convicted in their focus on normal working class Americans and making their lives better is actually genuinely their North Star. You can disagree with the theory of the case.

You can disagree with the way they're communicating it. But I think their intentions are good.

I think maybe we start with... I just think it is... whether it's a semiannual or quarterly, something that is like the Doge report and everything's been audited and triple checked. These are the three categories. This is what we found. I think something like that would be very helpful.

Marco Rubio did say someone made a big mistake. There were no consequences. We learned we're going to do better. And he is the secretary of state. So someone in the administration did say that this was a mistake.
