The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

a few years ago where it was like, if you make any money from a government contract, you should not be allowed to work in that sector for 20 years after you made, there's something like you shouldn't be able to be a defense contractor and then, you know what I mean, go into- Revolving door.

And anything like that probably is a good idea if you can get it passed.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Good luck getting it passed.

But the issue really comes like the major problem

The Joe Rogan Experience

Is that Washington, D.C.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

is the most powerful organization in the history of the world, that they spend seven trillion dollars a year.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And this is that is so much power.

It's literally like like if you think about it in your mind, right, like you think about like how much money Elon Musk has.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And then just to think that one year of federal spending is like squishing him like an ant.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

Like, it's nothing, dude.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

Like, the money Elon Musk has is nothing compared to $7 trillion, you know?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

That's just one year, what they spend in Washington, D.C.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

And when you have that much concentrated power, the idea of saying, well, we're going to write a rule that says nobody's allowed to try to manipulate that power.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

Okay, and then you know look there are rules.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

There's all types of funny way to put it because it's like so undeniable Well look there there are rules that say that like foreigners aren't allowed to contribute to Political campaigns and like there's different regulations on all of them But like Saudi Arabia is not allowed to give Hillary Clinton's campaign ten million dollars

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2370 - Dave Smith

But they could give the Clinton Foundation $10 million.
