No, never a dull moment at all. Lots going on. Okay, so I know as you were getting in here, you heard me talking about the big, beautiful bill. Right. There's some debate going on. And what I love about conservatives is just everybody's so aggressive now about what they want. Yep. Like they're not willing to settle for anything.
And so there's a lot going on with people saying, where are my doge cuts? I want those doge cuts codified. Even Elon just went on television this weekend. It was like, I was really disappointed that the doge cuts are not in there. But you talk to guys at the White House, Russ Vogt, tell them, they're moving on that stuff. And they're doing it within the confines of how the law actually works.

So the starting pack for me was what Russ told me yesterday. He said $9 billion cuts come in Monday. They're introducing a rescissions package. I've been talking about it on this show because I feel like there's very limited venues where anyone has talked about this presidential power. Because... Recisions. Recisions.

They're perfectly happy keeping their little nest eggs going.
