But what's been added to that now, which I did not see coming, is Musk with this extraordinary war chest saying, anybody who doesn't do what I want, I'm going to throw out of government, which is essentially what he's saying. And if that's not the definition of an authoritarian slash king, I don't know what is. And, you know, whether or not the Republican lawmakers will finally find some...

Can you believe we're talking about William McKinley? I mean, I just listen. I love the late 19th century for a number of reasons. But if there were like one president that you didn't want to know more about. I mean, maybe it's Benjamin Harrison or Martin Van Buren, I'll give you as well. But William McKinley? Like, really? We're going to lionize William McKinley?

So the reason that this matters, William McKinley is a really interesting character because of what he represents. And that is when Trump talks about William McKinley, and obviously somebody told him that William McKinley had these incredibly high tariffs, which he did. But one of the things that I think people maybe misunderstood is that wasn't just about the tariffs.

What William McKinley really stood for was an economic system in which a very few people got extraordinarily wealthy and everybody else served them. So think, for example, of what we now know as the Gospel of Wealth by Andrew Carnegie. And in that was originally known as wealth.

And in that, Carnegie makes an argument that is very similar to that of the elite Southern enslavers before the Civil War, in which he says, listen, the wealthy, the extremely wealthy are really the stewards of America's wealth. That you don't, and I'm paraphrasing, the stewards of wealth is not paraphrased, but the rest of this is.

But what he says is that, you know, you don't really want to make sure your workers have a living wage. And, you know, strikers are against America and all that. And people should live the way they are living. Because if you give your workers more of what they have created through their labor, then they're going to waste it in housing and clothes and leisure time.
