Look, it's not that the Pentagon is doing this. It's Donald Trump is doing this. And every time he has tried to divert money to build this wall, the courts have said no. You know, this is one more example of Donald Trump just thinking he's above the law like someone named him King. And that's not the case in our government. It is Congress that decides where the money gets spent and Congress has not authorized this money. So Donald Trump doesn't get to look at it like his personal bank account, and he'll just move a little cash around. This is wrong. It violates separation of powers and one more time. It makes Donald Trump act as if he believes he is above the law. I have no doubt we'll be sued in the courts. The courts will stop this and we'll just end up in a further tangle. This is wrong is a bad, bad idea. I had kind of figured from the beginning that this was gonna be a long nominations process and I built this campaign for the long haul, were already in 31 states, and, you know, keep in mind because I made the decision early on to fund this three grass roots. It means I didn't spend 70% of my time fundraising, you know, hanging out with billionaires and corporate executives and lobbyists. So that means I've already been to 29 states and Puerto Rico. It means I've started the on the ground operations because what we need in America is a grass roots movement way can't just have a government that's run by and four billionaires and people who suck up to billionaires.
