And it's amazing, actually, that we keep the veneer of civilization as much with the lid on as we do. When I think about how many nutty people are out there with nutty ideas and weaponry, and it's basically, you know. Because they're not accountable to a higher spirit. like I am, accountable to God. So you try to stay on track.

I mean, just when I drive around the city, okay, there's like hundreds, thousands of people who were all in these big, very dangerous things that we could, if we wanted to, just go fucking nuts and drive it through the plate glass window of the store. And people don't. And there's the occasional accident, but basically we're whizzing by each other. Who the fuck?

Well, they know that they would hurt themselves also. Maybe if they weren't going to hurt themselves, they might do it. Who knows? Yeah, but, I mean, like a lot of accidents these days are people on their phones. Yes. I'm not saying it's necessarily malicious or they go nuts or zombie-esque and, you know, it's Mad Max. But, yeah, some of that.

I mean, the kind of people who live on the streets who you see are crazy. What if they got behind a wheel? What would a homeless, the kind of person who you're like, oh, that guy, I feel bad for him, but I'm staying away because he's obviously dangerous. He's got something. He's swinging. What if that guy got in a car? How does that not happen?

I don't want to give the homeless any ideas because they're big fans of this podcast. Well, I mean, from what I read at one point, they were standing on an overpass in On the freeway and throwing rocks down on there. Yes. You know, on the cars. Look, as an olive branch, politically, I'll tell you something. Because I'm telling you, I don't hate everything. I'm not going to pre-hate.

Here's something I absolutely do not hate about Trump being president again. Police morale will go up. And police morale needed to go up. After George Floyd in 2020, police who have a racist history, but so does everything in America have a racist history. Okay. We're unfairly branded something they're not. There are bad people everywhere, but it is a tough job. And we also know about the police.
