There's a mixed answer to this one. Fundamentally, it's not easy to dismantle because it's a piece of legislation and the only way you could truly get rid of it or undo every aspect of it would be by further legislation coming through Congress. However, what the president can do is he can slow down some of the provisions of it. He can put them on ice indefinitely.

We've already seen, in fact, President Trump signing one of these executive orders that pauses the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act and another one called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. So that's what he can do. He can slow it down. He can't get rid of it totally.

And some of the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act that were already in force and already up and running, he can't undo those at this point.

OK, so there's a lot in this question. We probably need a whole two hours to go through everything that Donald Trump has done so far. But just on the issue of the FBI and the CIA, obviously, we saw the former FBI director, Christopher Wray, resign before Donald Trump took office. Basically, Donald Trump had said he would fire him if he didn't.

We've seen the Department of Justice workers who were involved in the investigation say into those federal charges against Donald Trump in terms of election interference, working with Jack Smith. They've been let go. We've also seen the inspector generals fired as well.

They are supposedly independent officers who are established under the Inspector General Act of 1978, and they're independent and objective units themselves. who basically make sure that each federal agency sticks to their mission. So they've all been fired and the expectation is that they'll be replaced by individuals who are loyal to President Trump. So it's a sort of watch this space on that.

When you're talking about deep state as a term, obviously that's quite a subjective viewpoint, but it is something that we had heard Donald Trump talk a lot about on the campaign trail.
