It does a lot of things.

There, of course, has to be some waste in there.

There, of course, has to be some kind of fraud.

And of

course, there has to be some kind of an abuse.

But if you don't tell us what meets those parameters ahead of time, and then you're just looking through a list of what the federal government does, you're like, that looks stupid, but you don't know why they're actually doing it.

You're actually just tearing apart the government in ways that it can be uniquely helpful.

And for example,

You saw Doge came through like, we're just going to eliminate, you know, so much of the NOAA and our weather sciences, detection, you know, prevention, messaging, all these kinds of things that help them figure out, you know, what weather patterns are going to be, particularly around disasters.

Then you had this absolutely horrific situation, you recall, in Texas at the girls' Christian summer camp, where so many of them tragically passed.

And again, it didn't look like there was an issue particular with how the weather service performed there.

But it raised the question, well, why are we now... Because the Doge said we had to put cuts in place ahead of time.

They hadn't gone into effect yet.

But now they were like, well...

We don't want to cut this stuff at all.

And so the Trump administration rolled it all back and said, no, no, no, we're going to keep these capabilities in place.

I'm just pointing out that was not a mission for waste, fraud, and abuse.

That was a mission for data theft.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, I think, listen, it's a reasonable, rational concern.
