It's very scary stuff.

Well, yeah, and it's – this is like one of the things that I think is genuinely different about – and I don't want to get too partisan political here, but about Donald Trump's Republican Party.

I mean obviously like there are corporations that we're more pro certain businesses and we tend to be more anti certain businesses like for example Big Tech.

I hate big tech.

We can get into that later.

But fundamentally, I think President Trump has changed the mindset of the Republican Party to where it was like instinctively always pro-corporate.

We're now sometimes willing to ask, well, is this corporation's interest in the American interest?

There was this famous quote.

quote, I believe from the leadership of GM back in the 1950s, that General Motors' interest is America's interest.

And I'm probably butchering the quote, but sort of paraphrased.

Can anybody really in 2024 say that Google's interest is America's interest?

Or Apple, which employs thousands of slaves in Shenzhen, is Apple's interest is America's interest?

I just don't.

That's ridiculous.

And the fact that we're at least somewhat skeptical of

of corporate power in the Republican Party, I think is a very good trend for us.

Yeah, put up some nets so that people can't commit suicide.

Oh, yeah.

Well, and talking about distractions, right, the distraction, like distraction politics versus real politics.

If Apple says hashtag BLM and gives a few million dollars to a trans rights organization, then the entire political left ignores that they're profiting off of slave labor.
