We are spending a trillion dollars a year on the military.

There is not one major defense contractor that has not been charged with providing fraud to the United States government.

Their CEOs make huge amounts of compensation.

They cannot even undergo an independent audit.

They're the only government agencies.

So they don't even know what they own.

I mean, it is so massive.

But nobody, nobody, nobody, Republican, Democrat, Independent, nobody doubts that there's massive fraud.

There's fraud all over the place, unfortunately, in this country, and we got to do our best to eliminate that.

But at the end of the day, I mean, we got to revitalize, in my view, we got to revitalize our democracy.

We got to hold elected officials accountable.

We got to run cost-effective, efficient government.

Yes and no.

Again, I'll give you some examples.

This is my own political point of view.

You agree with me, you don't.

It's okay.

Right here in New York City, we're sitting in New York right now.

A year ago, there was a guy named Zoran Mamdani, who nobody had ever heard of.

He's an assemblyman in New York.
