The United States spent three point four percent of its GDP on defense.
Canada spent something under 1.4%.
Your prime minister
Maybe because he wants to make the president happy, but I'm just an American, I'm assuming maybe he means it as well.
If we're gonna pick on Trump, maybe we'll pick on Mark Carney.
He said Canada needs to get to two percent.
France where I just was the last few days, wanting to do the same thing.
Countries all over NATO wanting to do the same thing, to meet where the United States
is an investment, but also where Poland and the Baltic states are.
This is what we mean that the status quo is coming to an end and that everyone will benefit because collectively, first and foremost with our Canadian friends, even if you don't like Donald Trump, we will draw a line in the sand against the Chinese Communist Party because of this excellent policy.
Whatever assault involving the courts is the courts assaulting the popularly elected President of the United States in their will.
The to equate that instance with the the spade of nonsense that's going on by the day is just objectively unacceptable.
But to answer your question,
There's a really good example here which you Ezra mentioned, and that's procurement and contract reform and I'm glad we agree on that.
It's curious though, and I mean that honestly, not as a jibe.
It's curious to me.
That someone with your intellect, your thoughtfulness, we disagree.
Would not recognize that in order to break the stranglehold that Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, for example, have on procurement and contracts so that they can spend money on munitions for the last war, rather than innovating in order to make sure that the right contractors, hopefully including those two great companies, was gonna require some experimentation.
And if you look as an example at the President's budget request to Congress after the reconciliation bill, there's all kinds of evidence in Secretary Heggseth's reform or uh about reform.
And so I think, again, as the dawn of the golden age, that we will continue to see in budget request after budget request this kind of success.
