That doesn't mean we're going to ensure 3% GDP growth. It's the things that enable us to be prosperous. So like, for example... prioritizing the defense of the Panama Canal over the negligible issue of which Eastern European oligarch gets to loot the Donbass.

So I was a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense. I was focused on policy. I was the senior advisor in the front office for policy. And so my job day to day was advising the Secretary on policy, making sure that he was prepared for meetings, making sure that he was prepared for giving certain speeches and talks, and then providing him policy advice as needed.
