I think Trump ought to just abolish the FBI and I mean, literally just roll it over to DHS.

What I know from my contacts in the admin, I was told by multiple people at multiple different agencies that Doge was a complete game changer because whereas agencies were previously ruled by careers, I was talking about this, for example, with the FBI. We have four political appointees at the FBI. There's 38,000 FBI employees. So it's four versus 38,000. The great equalizer in the first couple of months of the admin was that Doge were in the building and they directly had the deputized power of the Office of Management and Budget effectively to just cut the budgets of anybody in the career class, shut down any department, freeze the funding. If you were a career and you were trying to be insubordinate against the politicals, Doge could come in and make the careers have to respect the politicals because if they didn't do what they were told in the chain of command, you'd get doged. That was a game changer.
And so let's talk about shutdown then and their open attempt. The vast majority of polls show people know it's the Democrats. Got to have 60 votes in the Senate. Trump must get rid of the filibuster. Thun isn't doing it because the Democrats might use it later. They've already said they're getting rid of it. They've already said they're going to pack the Supreme Court. We didn't start this. They did. We have the constitutional break-the-glass emergencies. This isn't tyranny. These are emergencies. I think Trump goes all out, ends the filibuster, packs the Supreme Court. They want a war. They got one. I say, whole hog, what do you say?
