And then on top of that, we're going to not only shut down this building, we're going to implode it. We're going to raise it to the ground and we're going to build freedom parks over this. I mean, that is the approach that has to be taken by Trump day one of going right at the administrative state. I'm not interested in making it more efficient. I'm not interested in cutting regulations.
I'm not interested in cutting spending. Those are all an effect. The cause is the state. You have to shatter it into a million pieces. So that's my biggest hope. And I think he actually has the moral and political courage to actually do that. My hope and prayer, quite frankly, is that all of his various nominees have the exact same political and moral courage to do the same thing.
Because that is the issue. I'm telling you, Tucker, every issue that we are experiencing today in this country, in D.C. specifically, but in some ways in other aspects of the country, comes from a deeply unconstitutional administrative state that I think, has nothing to do with advancing or promoting the interests of the American people. That's the fight. That is the issue. That is the thing.
Right. No, my concern is that these secretaries, these new nominees who are going to be confirmed, the secretary is going to walk in and go, oh my gosh, I'm secretary of this department. Isn't this wonderful? And then how can I be as effective as possible as the new secretary of this various department and all the power that I have to actually enact change? No, no.
The whole point is for you to make this thing go away, to make it end, to make it cease to exist. I have questions about some of them.
I hope so.
I think they're going to run most of it through OMB. Right. They're going to run it through Ross and his team and advise strategies, you know, plans.
i i i'll be completely honest when they say we're going to declare victory and say we're done in 18 months and july 4th of 2026. i i that's insane good to have a deadline though it's nice to have a deadline it's also an insane one why um the administrative state started 112 years ago it has been building it has got so many reinforcing loops inside of this massive leviathan
You're not going to absolutely... First of all, I don't think you can get the fundamental question answered about, does the head of the executive branch get to hire and fire whoever he wants to in 18 months? I think it'd probably be two years. I've actually talked with Sean Davis, who's a good buddy. He's like, dude, I think you're lucky if it's answered in two years.
I think there's some fundamental questions and things that have to be answered and done that are going to take some time. I don't think you can declare victory in 18 months. This has been 100 plus years in the making. And there are so many people with so many vested interests in the status quo
Various people in government, outside of government, the entire system, they're going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that this system of government does not go away. So you're going to be up again. I think we're going to be involved if Donald Trump goes down the path of I'm going to destroy the administrative state.
It could be that the previous nine years of the craziness that we have seen as a warm-up act for maybe one of the coldest political wars we'll see in DC ever, because of what's at stake.
I mean, you're talking about regime change politics here, where, I mean, two very different governing philosophies of how you approach government on a whole host of fronts from basic human rights to how government actually operates. And there are a lot of people vested interest in maintaining the status quo of the administrative state.
And they're going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that it doesn't go away. So I think in some ways, I love the fact that he has put brilliant minds like Elon and Vivek to do this with an outsider's approach. I just don't think it's going to happen. I don't think meaningful, fundamental change that is long-term and lasting is going to take place in 18 months.
And I'm being realistic, having been in DC for 25 years.
But I don't want cheap victories. I don't want them to go, we've cut, I mean, first of all, it'd be great if they cut X number of dollars of spending and cut X, you know, hundreds or thousands of regulations. Wonderful, wonderful victories. Again, those are the effects. The cause is the state.
All of this stuff that we've seen, the out-of-control spending, the out-of-control growth of government, all of these things are because of the administrative state. It's in the DNA of it. No, I mean, the progressives who founded the administrative state viewed the state as salvation. Salvation was to come into every aspect of your life.
But it's in the DNA. The DNA of the administrative state is perpetual growth. So if it continues to grow and you're just trimming right here and like, oh, we declared victory, it'll continue, it'll grow right back. You have to cut down the tree. The branches will keep growing. So I don't want them to just trim branches.
I need them to tear up by root the administrative state so that it doesn't return and continue to grow.
Last statistics I saw, there are about twice as many federal contractors as there are federal employees.
