Yeah. Yeah. All these fiscal hawks, right?
The so-called fiscal hawks who wanted to torpedo Trump's agenda didn't propose that. And I wonder why, why aren't you proposing for the Medicare system to be able to big pharma money?

Yeah. I mean, Bernie's back. And what I mean by that is he's realized that you can't really play nice with the Democratic establishment and expect to get your policy priorities passed, expect them to help you out in whatever your agenda might be. And You know, 2015, 2016 Bernie, when he was running in the 2016 race, was a little different from 2020 Bernie.

And what I mean by that is as soon as the Democratic establishment saw an economic populace like Bernie Sanders gain the kind of momentum he did, they cynically used identity politics to crush him. Oh, you're not addressing BLM.

I mean, I remember during one of his campaign rallies, two people from BLM just jumped on stage, interrupted the entire event, called him out for allegedly not caring about Black bodies or Black lives. And it was just utter, ridiculous, cynical use of identity politics to crush someone. And in the end, I mean, what did the party get? In the end, Trump got elected in 2016, of course.

Then in 2020, you have Joe Biden, who was able to run from his basement because of covid. But the only reason why I think Biden won in that election or in that race is because of the fact that, you know, many Americans didn't like the way Trump handled the coronavirus. So I think by the time you get to 2024, People were just done with Democrats because they're sick.

It was used cynically to crush economic populace within the Democratic Party. But now what I'm noticing with Bernie and AOC, by the way, is they've kind of shed a lot of that rhetoric because they realize- She did. Exactly.
