Yes. If you said, where should Doge focus? The answer is, there's a lot of massive misspending within the Department of Defense. Now, part of that is not just the Department of Defense's fault. Let's take a specific. We should not be building aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers themselves cost billions. The planes on them are more billions. They put thousands of American lives on them.

And in the modern world, you have to Sure, an aircraft carrier is great for bullying sedan, which is not a particularly good use of billions of dollars military. In a real conflict, one or two hypersonic missiles, which are like $2 million each, can take out an aircraft carrier. So if you said, what should I be doing to save money in American events?

It's like, let's stop building aircraft carriers. But of course, part of the political reason that doesn't happen is because the states and Congress people, like one of the things that happens frequently is the Department of Defense says, well, we should stop these programs. And Congress says, no, we're continuing them because this is where, you know, you're spending money in our district is.

And that's the kind of thing that if Doge had guts, they would go to.

Look, I think it's better for the world and better for Europe if Europe increases its defense spending. Now, I understand it was the right thing after World War II and the right thing with the Marshall Plan and the right thing to create interdependence to do that because you wanted to make sure that in this area that created two world wars. that you created strength of ties and bonds.

It's part of what the European Union's about, trade, mutual prosperity. But now that that's there, it's good for Europe to get to its rightful place, both in, for example, defense against terrible players like Russia and things, but also in the world to be another important force in the world, and that means increasing the defense spending. And that includes Ukraine?

Look, my view is that the Ukrainian people have the right to fight for their own self-defense. It is not for us to say, oh, Ukraine was always just part of Russia. That's for the Ukrainians to say, not for us. That's a repetition of evils that human beings frequently do. You should be clear about this. And people have a right to articulate their own self-determination, I think.
