There's some stuff been going on that isn't good. And I'm very glad that Donald Trump is there at this point, sort of engineering at least an uncovering of that. Whether or not we're going to cover it all back up and go back to it, I fear that that might happen. But I do fear that that's the end of the U.S. And I don't want that to happen.
We can't afford what we're doing. Nobody can be that corrupt and continue. We are not meant to. If that's what we're doing with the money we're making, if that's what we're doing, and it's actually coming back to the government, if it's actually feeding those guys, no. It's supposed to be selfless. Selfless and to volunteer to make sure we're saving the people.

Save the people of the United States, not Washington, D.C. That's my two cents.

Well, only FDR thought he was worth it. And everybody else just voluntarily just said no. Which two? Because Washington set the precedent. George Washington was pretty much the greatest American who ever lived. There's still no question about it.

And it was always about, like, when he gave up his sword, when he resigned his commission in the military, when he said, no, the leader of the country should not be a member of the military. That's inappropriate. These things that came from his sense of conviction were passed on to us as a country, and that was a great, great gift.

Absolutely.

I was in shock. I mean, I'm still in shock that Franklin Roosevelt was elected for a third term. I guess it was a wartime thing. I don't know. I thought that was really irresponsible.

Honestly, I don't know. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be the president. When I was a kid, I used to say to my mom, I want to grow up to be president. But I was taught that's the kind of country we live in. Any kid can become president if they believe in it. And I still believe that's basically true. When we were talking earlier, I was talking about the American dream.

The American dream is a given. It's there. What I don't like hearing from my politicians is it's over. The American dream's over. I said, well... How did we get to that place? Why would you want to lower our expectations that much that you're now saying to me, well, we can't give you that, but what we can give you is we can make sure that somebody else's dream is smaller. I don't care for that.
