We watched so much of Doge come from that.

So it's like very hard for me to look at all this and not go, okay, you're also thinking about how this reads to these people that are giving you these contracts.

But you can't separate that, though, from like how successful that's going for him business-wise.

And I think that's like where I keep getting back to when we're talking about like Palantir's activities here, I suppose.

Well, something that's really interesting that comes up in McKenna's article that you can all read on wire.com is in Slack, people are having these like kind of intense conversations, right, about what CARP is saying in public, about like their actions in public, all of these different things.

And there's this one quote following the post of the manifesto that I can't stop thinking about, which reads,

I'm curious why this had to be posted, especially on the company account.

On the practical level, every time stuff like that gets posted, it gets harder for us to sell the software outside of the U.S.

And I doubt we need this in the U.S.

Which is, I guess, like brings back to the business point of who is this benefiting?

How is this benefiting them?

How long will this benefit them?

And at the very least, employees are starting to kind of freak out about it.

Yeah, absolutely.

You got to do what you got to do to keep those government contracts rolling in.

Talking about the government, I want to keep us there because there are actually possibly maybe perhaps some changes afoot coming midterm season.

Guys, we have to talk about the most recent trend.

We've all been noticing it over the last couple of days, couple of weeks involving the current Trump administration and more specifically how very important factions of the MAGA movement have been shifting away from Trump.

We're talking like major figures here.

We're talking Tucker Carlson this week quite literally apologized for misleading people on Trump, said everyone's implicated in getting him elected.
