Why Democrats? They were easier to corrupt. The Republicans were always known as the law and order people. We stayed away from them, you know, because they were always law and order. At least that's how the perception was back then. And a Democratic leader at one time was getting me my licenses so that I can collect the tax money, you know, and I was paying him.

He was on a payroll and he did a lot of favors for us. You know, I always say this. What do politicians want? They want two things. They want votes and they want money. At one point in time, we controlled all the unions in this country. You control the unions, Dr. Drew, you control the country in a big way. Because Teamsters Union, you had two and a half million members plus their family, right?

You had huge pensions funds, hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars. And so politicians would do our bidding because they wanted the votes and they wanted the money.

Again, I don't like to speak out of turn because I'm hearing now what everybody else is hearing. But from my experience on the street and dealing with them, I have to say there's a lot of stuff going on. I mean, they're so in bed with, I mean, the teacher junior is so in bed with the Democratic Party.

I mean, you could see, you know, they're just an arm of the Democrats, at least when Biden was in office and before that.

You know, it's funny you say that because my wife told me as we were driving here that they had sat down together and I didn't know it. And I said, Newsom is no match for Charlie Kirk.

Well, you know, first of all, I've been drinking wine since I'm 10 years old. My grandfather used to make it in his basement in Brooklyn. You know, he'd make homemade stuff, and he'd make us drink it. You know, it gets you tough. You know, you got to drink it. You know, he was an old Italian guy. Toilet wine. Yeah, yeah. And I remember how strong it was. All my cousins, we all had to drink it.
