It works.

No, I completely agree.

I mean to say that the narrative that everybody accepted was like, oh, but the system works.

It figured out that he was corrupt.

They had him step down.

They got him out of there.

When really the answer is much more like the intelligence agencies took over the United States of America in a hostile coup against John F. Kennedy.

And then Nixon comes in a few years later and is like...

essentially taken over as well, but they get the American people to believe that what that was was a corrupt president being ousted.

Well, there was LBJ in between there at least.

I know.

A little bit.

Well, I think also in hindsight, he wasn't that good looking.

He also came off as kind of an evil figure.

Nixon had a lot of policy failures.

And I would put the number one, and I completely agree with you.

I mean, launching the war on drugs was a disaster.

But taking us off the gold standard was one of the worst policy decisions in the history of the United States of America.

Terrible.

So many of the problems we face now is because of that.
