A lot of these agencies previously did not have heads or people were kind of the cabinet heads were just getting in control of them. Now we're starting to see, obviously, the Times reported on the Sean Duffy Elon fight. And I think there's a lot more of that, like, all right, buddy, like back off. Stop sending your the 12 year olds into my office to fire everyone.
I think there's this kind of classic challenge between what you describe as the Bannonite wing, perhaps, and their main focus is immigration, deporting people, building the wall, sort of, I think, Russia tilting foreign policy as secondary. But they don't really care that much about the budget.

And so they don't care about these kind of hack and slash things that they know are going to just anger people and get them kicked out of office or lose control of Congress quicker. And so that's kind of the fracture point.

Yeah, I think that's right. I mean, I think they're missing the or there's a sense of like, that's why USAID made such a tasty target for that, because it's like, you know, it's these these liberal pencil necks who are helping people in other countries.

It is surprising to me that the VA has been such an immediate target because, you know, you would think of that as something you wouldn't really hit to avoid alienating Trump voters. The other thing about Bannon is, like, I think it's important to keep in mind how much of his agita towards tech people is motivated by his belief that we're going to become robots, essentially.

I think a lot of people underscore, like, he has a singularity correspondent, a guy who comes on the show every couple weeks. And the singularity being, by the way, the moment our consciousnesses are uploaded into the matrix, essentially, we all become robots. And so, I mean, this is like a very pressing issue to him. On the other hand, Elon is implanting chips in people's brains.

So he's really on the, they're on the opposite sides of like, do we become cyborgs? And for both of them, they see this as like a very, like very relevant issue.

Yeah, so this is an unusually controversial choice, I guess, for a fast food stop. Yeah, so last week, Steak and Shake tried to rebrand as the sort of like anti-woke fast food chain. They put up some stuff with like kind of suspiciously kind of like Nazi type font, like a lot of like Gothic font.
