Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. Listen, it's always the people in power. I believe that humans are easily corruptible and easily repairable, but the corrupt part is much easier. But people could change, but power, people and power are very dangerous. Very, very dangerous, especially if you have religion, which is power by itself, military might, political support, and money.
Dude, that's a very, very, very dangerous recipe.

But, okay, here, we are... Just among friends. We are Americans, right? We're Americans. Allegedly. We're Americans.

There's one thing about the power of the little guy that I am very sad about. Because, you see, I love America, by the way. I consider it my new home. And I want my kids to grow up here. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I have in the United States.

And I criticize the United States politics and I criticize it out of love the same way that I was criticizing what's happening with Egypt out of love. What is worrying for me is how the power of the little man is diminishing. It doesn't matter now who do you vote into power. They will not listen to you. They would listen to the people who paid them to be there.

And it is very concerning because I can see the American democracies turning, not even slowly, very rapidly into an oligarchy. If I'm sure that all of the millions of people who are voting, they don't vote for the NRA. They don't vote for APAC. They don't vote for the pharmaceutical companies. They don't vote for the military industry complex.

And yet, the people in power, they come in, they take your vote. and my vote, and they are loyal to those people, not to us. And it is very, very, very concerning. Very concerning. And this is the danger on American policies, American politics, and American democracies.
