Anybody that China allows to acquire 51% of TikTok, that person is somebody that the Chinese Communist Party believes has their interests at heart more than the Americans. And so that is a very important thing to keep in mind as well. I totally appreciate that point, Barry. So, you know, from that point of view, somebody has to convey this to Trump. This is extremely important.

I will just say I feel a little bit like really upset at the idea that the Supreme Court could have ruled on something, that Congress could have passed a law and two consecutive presidents could just say, we're not going to enforce this law. Exactly. That's very upsetting. And we should all be very upset about that.

It is both the case that the Democrats pointing out this oligarchy are complete and utter hypocrites. They were totally happy to have these people running their party as long as they were giving to the Democrats.

And it is also the case that seeing those tech oligarchs at the inauguration allowed to bring their, you know, sluttily dressed wives when, you know, the cabinet members were not, you know, sitting there amongst the Trump family and cabinet like that. That is a chilling image. Now, Steve Bannon had a great line. He was like, these people were there as trophies. OK, they were Trump's trophies.

They don't have any power. They're not going to have any influence. They're hung on the wall to show how far he's come and how he can sort of, you know, get anybody to show up at his shindig. They did pay the million dollar, you know, ticket fee to get there. I guess after you give a million dollars to the inaugural fund, you know, you're kind of guaranteed a ticket even when everybody else is.

can't bring their wives or whatever because it was moved indoors. I feel a little bit nervous about it. Trump has done a 180 on H-1B visas.

And I guess if I could just put a pin on this, which is that, you know, if Trump is willing to play them against each other, like no individual person can have that much power. Right. I mean, this was really a slap in the face to Elon Musk to be like, OK, look, I'm now, you know, this is my new BFF now. Right. Vivek is out. Right. He's been kicked out of Doge.
