And in order to do that, like if you say, well, if we change the system, I'm afraid of change because what if the pendulum swings too far in the other direction, right? Well, then you would be opposed to change at all times. So if you do that, it actually reminds me of the Biden fight, right? So I'm like, guys, he has almost no chance of winning. He stands for the establishment. He can't talk.

But then the number one pushback I'd get from Democrats was, Yeah, but what if we change? It's so scary. We don't know about Kamala Harris. What if it's not Kamala Harris? It's so scary. Don't change. And I'm like, yeah, but if you say change might be worse, it also might be better. And you're at zero. Anything is better, right? And right now, in terms of corruption in America...

We're at 98% corruption, so we got 2% decency left. Brother, this is when you want change. And Lex, if you actually have wisdom of the crowd, just like in supply and demand and how it works in economics. It works the same way in a functioning democracy. You go too far, you come back in. So, for example, when Reagan came into office, me and my dad, my family, we were Republicans. Why?

At that point, the highest marginal tax rate was at 70%. 70% is too high, right? Then he brought it all the way down to 28%. That's too low, right? And that's how the system modulates itself. Already we were headed towards corruption because it's the 80s now. We're past 78, magic 78 marker, right?

So, and even Carter was way more conservative economically than people realize because we're already getting past it by the time it's in his administration. But the bottom line is, yes, whenever you have real wisdom of the crowd, whether it's in business or in politics, you're going to have fluctuation. You're going to have that pendulum swinging back and forth.

You don't want wild swings, communism, corporatism, right? You want to get to, hey, where's the right balance here between capitalism and and what people think is socialism.

Look, I run a company. And so I don't want companies to go away and, and I don't want you to hate all companies. I think Young Turks is a wonderful company, right? We provide great healthcare. We take care of our employees. We care about the community, et cetera. And we're building a whole nation online on, on those principles and the right way to run a company. Right. Um, but.

Guys, we're at the wrong part of the pendulum. The companies have overwhelming power and they're crushing us. We're like that scene in Star Wars where the trash compactor is closing in on them, the walls are closing in. We're almost out of time because they've captured the government almost entirely. They're only serving corporate interests. We've got to get back into balance before it's too late.
