Absolutely, Charlie, and I'm so glad that you asked that question because there is so much misinformation flying around about Doge and Elon Musk's team that are working on behalf and at the direction of President Donald Trump. Let me just start by saying that Doge was a promise that President Trump campaigned on.

He campaigned alongside Elon Musk and was very vocal about the fact that he would be appointing Elon or tasking Elon with this very important role of putting together the Department of Government Efficiency. And Elon has brought in highly skilled individuals who are very proficient in technology, I may add, to review, again, the transactions and the payments of the federal government.

These individuals have read only access and at the direction of the secretaries of these departments, they are curbing back wasteful spending on useless priorities like DEI, for instance. It's at the president's direction that we no longer fund DEI programs here in the United States. or anywhere on the planet.

And so Doge has identified millions and millions of dollars in DEI programs all over the world that don't align with the president's priorities. And so Doge is focused on, again, making the government more efficient and more aligned with the president's policies that he campaigned on and received an overwhelming mandate to implement.

The president, actually, I think Prime Minister Netanyahu said it best the other night when he was speaking alongside the president here at the White House. And he said that when President Trump announces a new bold idea, jaws drop and then people actually think about it. and they scratch their heads and they say he is right.

And that's exactly what is happening in Washington right now with this new proposal by the president to bring economic stability and opportunity to a region that has been plagued by terrorism and war for decades. And insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. And this president is proposing a new, and yes, it's very bold and it is outside of the box,

vision and plan and solution for peace-loving people in the region that nobody else has thought of or brought to the table. But just like when the media elite and the bureaucrats in Washington laughed at the president for announcing his idea of the Abraham Accords, they mocked him and said that Arab nations would have never negotiated peace with the Israelis.

That turned out to be a very successful plan that is still in effect today, even through all of the troubles of the last administration in the region. And so I think that the president should be taken very seriously.

And he expects our partners in the region to get on board with this plan and to accept Palestinian refugees as the United States takes over Gaza for rebuilding, for the betterment of everybody in the region.

Is that correct? That's right. That's correct, Charlie. A very important point. The president, he takes it incredibly seriously, his responsibility as commander in chief. And he has been very clear for decades about not wanting to send American troops abroad. That is no different.

This is an economic development plan that he expects our partners in the region to continue on the ground, especially our Israeli partners. I mean, the president has made that commitment, no boots on the ground.
