There's campaign finance law, which limits the amount of money you can spend on a campaign. So there's already law in place. There's already legislation that you cannot do. That's what Citizens United did. It said the Supreme Court ruled that billionaires that... Advertising is freedom of speech, and you can't limit my speech.

So if I want to spend $100 million on TV ads, I have the right to do it. They say, you're right. So the issue is democracy versus billionaires being able to spend unlimited sums of money. Supreme Court went with that. And then the form it took. was what's called a super PAC. You saw their organization, Americans for Freedom, okay? And billionaires can put as much money as they want into that.

That organization then runs ads on television. It does political stuff. That's what it's about. So bottom line, though, most importantly, is if you are a billionaire, you can put as much money as you want into a super PAC. And in Musk's case, he spent $270 million to help Donald Trump get elected president. Do Democrats have billionaires putting money into suit packs? Absolutely. All right.

What does that mean in real life? This is what it means. Right now, we're dealing with a bill called the reconciliation bill. It's a fancy Washington term for a very big bill, which will have a lot of stuff in it. In any case, if a Republican stands up and says, you know what? in the House of Representatives.

I don't like this bill because, you know, it's giving tax breaks to very wealthy people and it's going to cut Medicaid and cut nutrition programs. It's a bad bill. What do you think happens the day after that Republican stands up and says he opposes it?

It is enormously effective. If you have, sure. Right now, you're a Republican. Yeah. Wait, what? No, I don't mean you. I'm being generalist. It's going to go viral. All right. So you have... Two elements. Trump is enormously popular within the Republican base. Yeah. Elon Musk has unlimited sums of money. Right. Double whammy. Double whammy. So it is very hard for any Republican to sustain.

Give you another example, because I don't want to, I'm an independent, right? Caucus with the Democrats. Democrats are better than the Republicans, to my mind. But Democrats, I happen to believe they're providing more military aid to Netanyahu's extreme right-wing government to do the horrible things that are going on in Gaza right now. As you may know, as we speak, it's horrible. Absolutely.
