And let's have these big fundamental questions about, obviously, border immigration citizenship, obviously the future of this country in regards to energy independence and all of these things. But also, I couldn't tell which one I loved the most in the executive orders dealing with the administrative state. But let's have the conversation about the legitimacy of that.

And the thing that has been very apparent to me and very unique about Donald Trump among recent Republican presidents is that he has rejected the premise that what we have in our current form of governance in an administrative state is not legitimate. He rejects the premise. and he's calling into question with these executive orders, you are not legitimate. You do not decide.

You do not set policy. The head of the Article II executive branch, the duly elected president, that'd be Trump, I'm the one who decides the policies, and your job and your responsibility is to actually implement those policies and to work for the benefit of the American people.

I mean, his one, not to get too into the weeds here, Dan, but his executive order on the SES types, the Senior Executive Service Officials, Amazing. And for those that are listening that are maybe not as aware, you have all the political appointees, the secretaries, the undersecretaries, all the political appointments. Then you've got the federal employees.

In between the political appointments and the federal employees is the SES level. It's a very powerful government official. And they manage, I think it's about 75 federal agencies. And they, again, Dan, they think they decide. They think they govern. They think they set policy. And for him to directly address the SES level on day one in an executive order, amazing. Absolutely incredible.

But the point I want to make to those listening is the fact that the progressives, when they started this administrative state, these SES types, and I would argue GS-14s and 15s, they have been operating under the entire premise of the administrative state, which is the unelected bureaucrats are the ones who are supposed to govern. They're the ones who are supposed to decide.

It has nothing to do with the Constitutional Republic. And again, it goes back to those fundamental issues I was talking about.
