Tom Nichols: A Farce and a Sham

It's like, I'm sorry, you know, normally you don't pay thousands and thousands of dollars to go to Washington and see an inauguration if you're really sweating the price of eggs. There's a lot of things I would.

The thing with the tech CEOs is, you know, back in the 90s, you had a bunch of young guys who went to the internet casino. A few of them had some good ideas. Hey, I invented a browser. Hey, I invented an app. And then became fantastically wealthy in a short amount of time. I very much like Jonathan Last's argument that Musk was basically made by zero interest rate policies.

The 90s internet casino plus cheap money created zillionaires. And the thing about zillionaires is that they come to think of themselves. And I don't mean wealthy people in general. I used to work for a billionaire senator. He was a pretty good guy. I mean people who come from that particular background who say, you know what? I must be really smart.

And I must be really smart about a lot of things. If I made an app and I got rich, I must totally understand the Ukraine war. And it bothered them that kind of the gatekeeping of policy was like, thank you for your thoughts on national defense. Your app works very well, but we're not going to do that. And so now I think they've said, Trump, who cares about nothing, right?

I think he'd throw any of that other stuff over if his interests warranted it. I mean, I don't think he's committed enough to any, but I take your point. And so they're saying, great, this guy is malleable. He loves other people with money. This is our chance to govern the United States from behind the scenes.
