And I worry that the lingo that's being used makes it even more difficult because I can say for sure anyone who's worked in federal government can think of a lot of ways to make it better. And it was certainly my experience in my two terms as commissioner that the workforce wanted to make it better.

And so you can say waste, fraud, and abuse, but that's not what we're talking about here for the most part. We're really talking about the core functions of the government that enable the ecosystem to produce these products that we all depend on.

Well, I'd say generally yes right now, and it's a matter of what happens after this. You know, we have a new commissioner, and I want to give him a chance to – lay out the plan about how things are going to be built back up.

But, you know, we've been riding on a wave of work for decades now that involve both Republican and Democrat administrations with a civil service which has maintained this infrastructure, which I believe is so important. The analogy I'm using for people to grasp sort of allegorically is Humpty Dumpty.

And you'll notice if you read Project 2025, the goal right now has been to essentially destroy the federal government as it existed. And then in an unspecified way, there's going to be some building back up. So let's give the new FDA commissioner a chance before we condemn it. But I think we all need to keep a very close eye on it because we're You're certainly right.

Even the remaining employees don't know day to day if they're going to get fired. And they're spoken about so disrespectfully when anyone who's worked in the government knows these people are working hard and very dedicated to the mission. So the sort of language that's being used, I think, is not helping the public grasp what's going on. Can we spend a moment on that, too?

The brain drain is already occurring and has occurred to a large extent. Many of the most experienced, knowledgeable people have left already, either because they were fired or because they saw the handwriting on the wall and sought other jobs. And these people are highly employable, at least they have been up until now, because
