But that's a completely different story. But so the national debt and this whole idea of of waste and fraud and bloated government spending. I've been waiting. You know, that means I've been waiting for this stuff for 35 years. I've been waiting for actual spending cuts. I remember stuff that that, you know, there was something called the Penny Kasich bill.

Penny was a congressman from Minnesota, John Kasich, the congressman from Ohio, and was an attempt at actually shrinking the size of government by one percent a year. until we reached a balanced budget. And Andrew can busily sort of, you know, do a Wikipedia on the Penny Kasich Amendment. And it came within one vote of passing, Charlie. And I remember watching it live on CNN, excuse me, on C-SPAN.

It was probably 93, 94-ish. And it was really, had we gotten, so anyway, my point is, I've had my hopes raised and shattered for 35 years, Charlie. believe you know simpson bowls just in 2015 the obama attempt yeah you know Look, for someone like me, I honestly don't care where the spending cuts come from. Just cut. There's no way.

You know, I have the Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful attitude is cut more than you think because there's always more fat on the chicken. Cut more if you have to. Later, you bring these people back. That's a little side, little tangent. I'm sure you've noticed how on Drudge and leftist media, they're like, oh, no, look, they fired these people and had to bring a few of them back.

Well, that's how it's supposed to be. Get rid of them at first. Then if you see that you really need them, bring them back. So, you know, kind of trying to wrap this up, the answer. I'm so excited, Charlie. I've never seen anything like these cuts. I'm covering it nonstop. And I want more. And we haven't even got started.

You know, Social Security, defense, Medicare, Medicaid, those are going to be really, really big.

Correct. And I realized that I forgot to answer that part of your original question, which is how is this playing with the base? What do people really feel? Well, obviously, the monster poll from Harvard-Harris that Warren Bannon talked about it a bunch this morning, and it was asked at the Macron-Trump press conference.

There were two or three questions about Doge, but they all got over 70% approval. As many Democrats, I try to watch alternative media as much as I can, and you can't fight this stuff. The politicians are trying. But they're not getting any support. We had that press conference, I don't remember, last week.

The full photo showed that there were just the five senators there and there were no people around them. And they were screaming about what was going on at Doge. So there is no grassroots support not to cut the government. This is turning on everyone. I've seen Jon Stewart say positive things. We've seen the Obama bros who do that podcast. You know, that they've commented positively.

It's a public relations winner. I think, look, we're all in it sort of minute to minute. So we see the negative stories that are written about Doge and we see what Drudge is sort of pushing and we see what's on CNN. But it's honestly... These polls show that that's not making any impact, that, what, 80, 90 percent of independents and 100 percent of Republicans love these cuts. And so it's hard.
