And I don't know if you saw King Charles's speech to the joint session of Congress a couple of weeks ago.
So he gave this speech and he, it was good speech, 25 minutes, touched on a lot of points, made some jokes.
At one point he talks about the importance of checks and balances.
Yeah.
And I was shocked because everybody in the chamber was clapping.
Yeah.
And I'm thinking to myself-
You guys are the checks and balances.
Some of you guys over there are not doing the checks and balance part of the job.
Yeah.
I mean, we're trying, but we're in the minority.
Right.
I mean, it's really the majority has to step up
and really speak truth to power and tell a leader, whether it's a president or the CEO of the company, you got to tell somebody when what they're doing doesn't make any sense or they're off track or you just can't do this.
That one thing, do not do that.
Yeah, right.
Some people think we have like a giant button we can like press and stop things.
There's no button.
Yeah.
I think it is that this president, he's got full control over the base of the Republican Party in a way that no president in my lifetime has ever had.
