Us Infrastructure Failing Airports Roads Worse Than 90s Euro

other physical, you know, structures that we were seeing. What were you talking about specifically when you're talking about the degradation of structures? Well, I mean, our airports, our roads, it's just, you know, pretty much everything, you know, we're seeing the fraud, waste and abuse that is rampant in all of these agencies. We just found out today, you know, billions missing from Medicaid, billions missing from Medicare. We haven't even gotten into the transportation department. We haven't even gotten into all of the allocation of funding that goes from the federal government to the states, you know, like in Virginia, we call it VDOT, but it's a lot of federal money, but the work just doesn't get done. And so I would say that, and President Trump has talked about this, that when it comes to the physical infrastructure of our nation, we are a failing nation. I don't know if you fly, I fly. Last time I was in Charlotte Airport, it's just, it's like being at a bus terminal. I mean, first of all, it's too small, it's cramped, it's crowded, everything is falling apart. It hasn't been upgraded and who knows how long. And then, you know, you fly an airline like Air Emirates and it's a completely opposite experience and you do a layover in one of those countries and you feel like you're in a completely different century, like centuries ahead. You go from the UAE, okay, to Chicago O'Hare International. Yeah. I've done it and I hate to say it, but you're disgusted by your own country. That's what I'm saying, yeah. It is dirty, it is filthy, it is rundown. You know, the other thing that you talked about the roads on General Flynn's tour, I had the privilege and the wonderful opportunity to travel with the country twice. You know, first we went across the lower section of the country, then we came across the northern section of the country and then we came down the center of it. And the roads are absolutely crap. You know, there's a lot of spots, you know, in these interstates that are just completely, you know, they're not satisfactory to what we should be representing ourselves as a country. You know, if you go to Germany and you're on the Autobahn, you know, it's very, you'll see a pothole. It just doesn't happen. And they travel at very high speeds. It's very efficient, it's very clean. And we can do that too, you know. I mean, you know, I remember traveling through Europe and different places and, you know, to get gas, you don't have to get off on a side street, go find a gas station and fight your way back and, you know, all this kind of stuff. You know, you've got, you've got, you know, rest spots that you can get gas, you get something to eat. They even got a restaurant. It's very, very efficient to travel that way. And I was doing that back in the nineties, in the nineties in Europe. Yeah, exactly. And so that's a big problem. And I understand that Trump has to prioritize. I know, like you're saying, stop the bleeding. We have to close the border. We have to stop the spending. We have to get these things under control, you know, with these different agencies. And this is what Doge is doing. And Doge has a limited lifespan intentionally to get through what they're supposed to do. I just, I really want, I mean, I think I'm not alone when I say that I want our country to thrive. And I want our country to be not just catching up to the 21st century, we're a quarter of a century in and we have infrastructure that has not been upgraded for a hundred years. Yeah. In this country.
