And then there's the rest of us who are trying to fight back against that.

And the rest of it, people hate this.

I mean, this is why the Trump administration is trying to avoid everything about the Epstein files right now.

um but frankly you know other than a few democrats and people like ro khanna and you know tom massey on the republican side a lot of democrats are kind of avoiding it as well because they're worried about some of their own who might be in those files i think we have to have accountability across the board there's going to be a big reset i think this is going to be the question of our time of do we hold rich and powerful people accountable when they do heinous heinous crimes

or do we not?

And if the answer to that is no, I do think that's an existential threat to our democracy and our way of being our entire system.

We have to have the rule of law for everybody.

And this is gonna be one of the deciding cases for it.

Yeah, I mean, we basically have created a federal jobs program to terrorize people through ICE, right?

But what if we use that instead to actually develop things, build things people want?

I mean, this is the same thing when it comes to our foreign policy, right?

Where we are spending, you know, we had a $900 billion defense budget that just passed a few months ago, and about 115 Democrats voted for that, by the way.

And we are spending all this money on dropping bombs in other countries and doing these endless wars, but no one wants that.

If you look at the polling, only about 3% of Democrats and only 16% of Republicans want a larger defense budget because that argument of we could be spending all this money and all these resources developing our own means of making a living, that really works.

But when it comes to AI and the data centers,

You're absolutely right.

It's a completely bipartisan issue, both on the data centers themselves and the energy they're gobbling up and how it's driving up people's home and energy prices.

But the larger question here of, you know, right now we have this technology that might be wiping out half of our jobs and basically determining the future of our society.

Why should a handful of tech CEOs get to determine that future?

Why do why should they have all that power?
