And who's getting in the president's ear to make these decisions? And if it's Pete Hegseth, I think we're all in a great deal of trouble.

It's so I mean, should we? Maybe yes. Right. Maybe maybe the answer should be let them die on the vine. Show the nation what true Republican majority actually looks like if left to their own devices. It's just not how we're built. Right. Like I can't sit there and watch somebody take our country down because it's not a zero sum game. Maybe it should be.

Maybe I should think of it as a zero sum game. Republicans lose. Democrats win. I don't. We all lose, right? If the House of Representatives isn't functioning in any way, shape, or form, we all lose. We have to keep the government open. We have to engage in that, too. Are you sure? Are you sure? Well, I mean, I'm already frustrated. It sounds like we're going to have a continuing resolution.

So, first of all, that's just… you know, when you come from the armed services world and the national security world, that is such a huge waste of money at the very least for the Department of Defense. You can't have new start programs. You can't continue some of the ongoing programs to restart them once the new budget gets passed is a huge cost.

And we're doing all this as we're desperately trying to innovate and trying to meet the challenges of a really complicated world. So it's just a really horrible way to run a railroad. But where we're at is

you know, we are now, you know, we're going to see Republicans with some, some reconciliation bills, some bites at the apple of just having passing huge pieces of legislation through the Senate with a simple majority. We're really putting a lot of ability to get an agenda done in their hands. So just kind of, you know, not engaging or not, or letting them fail is,

I think would really be a disservice. I think it would allow them to run with a very bad agenda. I think failing is maybe part of the agenda of some in the Republican Party, meaning that they don't like government and they just sort of want government to implode. So allowing that to happen would just seem to meet some of the agenda on the far right. But then the question is, what do we do?
