Our schools didn't even open in August, back home in New York.

It's really just truly unbelievable because at the highest levels of government, politicians are failing children, adults are failing kids, and literally leading to their lives being lost because they'd rather pocket money.

And then separately, the normalization of fascism that we've been seeing, Ben, building on what you were talking about, right?

It's like a creep, creep, creep.

I think I called it the fascist faucet.

Yeah, the leaky fascist faucet.

Just, you know, look, we'll do a little military parade for dear leader's birthday here, a little gerrymandering over there.

Hey, let me just deploy the National Guard to these blue states over here.

I'm just going to fire these people in the government that I don't necessarily agree with right there.

And then what does corporate media do?

Dictator chic.

This is so cute.

This is crazy.

What we're witnessing right now is absolutely crazy.

And everybody needs to be shouting it from the mountaintops that none of this is normal.

And the second you allow yourself to bit by bit normalize this behavior, you've lost the plot.

You have lost the plot.

You know, it goes even far beyond just the NRA's money.

It's the NRA's in complete disarray also.

They run things the way Trump runs things, and they've gotten busted doing a lot of things.
