And you look forward and they were not able to radically change tax policy until last year because they were so much smarter in how they govern.

Well, I'll start with the fact that this is class warfare and race is only a tool for the most wealthiest individuals on the globe to divert our tax dollars for their profit.

But then when you start otherizing communities such as African-American community, the females or LGBTQIA, you distract people from what the fight is really about.

Who gets taxed, who's not taxed, what those tax dollars are spent on and regulatory oversight.

And so that's the real fight here.

And so as an organization, we have to stay focused on that as we also are very attuned to race being used as a tool to distract and distort, I might say, a very effective tool.

But I think Epstein files and what we are learning and still learning was a well-coordinated act of treason.

If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our constitution, that's treason.

You know, January 6th was the act of treason.

The Civil War was the act of treason.

But the sustained effort of individuals being leveraged to undermine our democracy, undermine the stability of our economy and do all the things that we're doing is something that unfortunately we won't get a chance to hold people accountable under this administration on top of exploiting underage girls.

It is unfortunate that we're here

It's unfortunate that these files were not released under the Biden administration or for that matter, prior to that.

And so we're going to have to dig out of this deep hole.

And people around the globe, they're watching this nation, which held a standard for every other country that we were not living up to.

You know, Donald Trump presented to the oligarch class something they could have never done themselves.

He has an appeal to the lowest common denomination of individuals who are the least educated or buy into the fear mongering that has been able to take place.

But if any of them actually sit and listen to his speeches, it's rambling.

It makes no sense.

But he says the right phrases, uses the right buzzwords at the right moment to appeal to the least educated or individuals who are educated but are under some illusion that he would not come after them and come after everyone else, or just fear mongering.
