I wanted to I wanted a brief political statement to start this because, you know.

3.945 - 6.107 Casey Liss

Oh, great. Yeah. There's nothing going on there these days.

6.508 - 11.353 Marco Arment

Yeah, I think. And, you know, forgive me. This is something I wrote 10 minutes ago. So, you know.

11.674 - 15.258 Casey Liss

Oh, it's that kind of Marco political statement. Oh, my reading from a prepared statement.

15.652 - 22.955 Marco Arment

Yeah. Very, very – it's still hot. I guess that's where hot takes come from. Is that the phrase?

23.996 - 25.657 Casey Liss

Is that it? I actually never realized that.

25.677 - 50.773 Marco Arment

Probably. Oh, that's funny. Anyway, a lot of people are very upset right now with what's going on with – The inauguration, the beginning, and all the executive orders, and it's going to be rough for a while. And I think what we have to try to keep in mind is that the Republican agenda is wealth transfer to the top. That's the big thing.

51.594 - 71.788 Marco Arment

To accomplish and conceal that, they gain votes and power by division, cruelty, and violence. But the goal is the wealth transfer to the top. If you look at what they actually do, that's mainly it in different forms. Tax cuts to the corporations, tax cuts to the rich, straight up corruption, which is now even more right in the open than anything.

71.808 - 90.56 Marco Arment

But also things like large-scale deregulation, regulatory capture, and the politicization of the justice system. Yeah. I think the latter part there, that is why it seems like we are seeing a very sharp and aggressive turn to the right by all the big tech companies.
