The legislative branch plays a very important role with appropriating and oversight. But you have to have true believers leading those organizations. It's the reason why we got into this goofy DEI stuff in the first place. It was political. It was meant to send some sort of virtue signal. It's hurt recruiting. The Navy's recruiting is down.

They fired over 6,000 well-qualified men and women from the armed forces because they refused to get the COVID shot. I mean, this stuff is nuts. So you really do need leadership that's going to change it culturally beyond just any legislation that we would pass or not pass.

Yeah, the good news is we're only here for the rest of this week and next week. So there's a limited amount of time for Chuck Schumer to do shenanigans. I think we're about done. I think we kind of know the federal judges that he's going to appoint. He's got a limited number he can do on the district court level. There's not going to be any more.

circuit level, meaning appellate judges, that's a win. There's like four more that President Trump's going to get when he comes in because they have their own attendance issues. But we got to make sure we show up. The NLRB stuff is a great example. These are five-year positions.

It's a five-member board that decides a lot of potential disputes between business and labor and might have a role to play, quite frankly, with when President Trump wants to come in And and have a reform agenda. And if you're not willing to show up to work, you probably shouldn't have a job in this town. Right. So this is an important board.

It's important, I think, that we try to knock these people out. I'm not going to support either one of them. Those votes are coming this week. But we've got to if to the extent we can beat them, we don't have the numbers of everybody shows up. But you don't know that until everybody shows up. We got to all vote no on these, I think, to sort of beat this.

Yeah. So I think the idea is in our committees are going to come out. They're actually working on the composition because we've got new members coming in. I would expect Charlie either later this week. Worst case next week, our committees will be set, which will be an important first step.

And then I think you'll see the committee chairman start to announce committee hearings right when we're back. And you're right. We don't we should not wait until January 20th. Let's get rolling. I met with Pam Bondi actually today. Pam is a great friend. Pam is going to be an incredible attorney general.

She's going to restore, I think, respect to an agency that completely has lost its way, has been overtly politicized. Kash Patel, you know, I'll be meeting with Kash soon. He's going to do a great job at the FBI. He's got all this great team, but we've got to get him in place. So I think the idea is at the beginning of January, as quickly as we can, let's start scheduling these hearings.

Let's start getting votes so that President Trump has his team in place as quickly as possible. That is the goal.
