And that's my point is, so this is the same Department of Defense that says, oops, we misplaced $4 billion that we just found and now we can send that to Ukraine immediately.

And you're telling me you can afford roughly 120 bucks a year for our junior enlisted service members because of economic hardship under the Biden-Harris administration.

The whole thing is a freaking joke.

But it's a joke that has very real consequences on the men and women who are serving and on our military and therefore on our safety and security.

So, you know...

Yes, I am advocating for cutting the waste and fraud and abuse that goes on in that big building in the Pentagon every single freaking day.

Every single day.

Closing the revolving door, making it so that whether you're a senior civilian or you are a senior uniformed person in the Pentagon, you should not be writing contracts for Lockheed Martin or whoever you want to go and get a job from as soon as you retire out of the federal service.

There are so many changes and reforms that need to be made to make sure, again, our taxpayer dollars are going to serve a military that is best equipped and ready to ensure our safety, security, and freedom.

On the border, huge issue.

We have no idea how many people, you know, the question cited a couple hundred thousand, we don't have any idea how many people have streamed through our borders illegally who pose that direct threat to us here on our own soil.

I would encourage, should President Trump get elected, and I would encourage President Biden today, hey, if you're really serious about securing our border, which we know he's not,

Federalize and mobilize the National Guard.

Help.

I was in the National Guard for a lot of years.

Our job is to support the homeland, whether it's during times of national disaster or crises or emergency.

I would say this is a very serious national crisis.

And the president has the authority to federalize the National Guard, to deploy them, to go and actually help secure our border.

I was in Southern California, San Diego, and spent a couple days down at the border there just to see for myself.

A lot of people talk about Texas and Arizona.
