America's biggest enemy. And we usually stack, rank them and see where they are. And we put the Republican and Democrat parties in there, and it's like, China, Democrats, Republicans, Iran. No, Russia, then Iran. Sorry. So. So, like, we went to war with the fifth biggest enemy. A war of choice. You ever stack corporations in there? No. That's a good idea. I mean, the polling. Americans hate corporations. They're trusted less than the federal government in some measures. And I had one. So I actually did some polling for the head of DOJ antitrust, Gail Slater, because she couldn't find anything about it, because people don't want to poll about how unpopular corporations are. Imagine that. And there were questions along the lines of like, do you support or oppose holding big tech companies accountable for whatever? And it was like 80%. And how likely is it that aggressive antitrust action by the government will bring down prices for American consumers? This is like 70%, you know, so these are people that like antitrust. Like, most people don't even know that, but they're just desperate for some kind of solution. And what we saw, like, I'm telling you, this egregious stuff is going to come out. Like, you got a lobbyist who is getting paid millions of dollars to get Gail Slater fired at a DOJ antitrust to defend Live Nation. So it could keep buying up all these ticket venues. So your Taylor Swift tickets, 300 bucks. Americans are going to fricking hate that. And the story has only been told a little bit. Right. So this is the kind of stuff that's coming. Like, we're gonna. There's gonna be very egregious examples of bad things that happen that people are gonna. So Trump went into this election with a 38% approval rating. Lowest. Going all the way back to Nixon. Nixon got down to a 25, and he was forced to resign. So that's like the bookends we're dealing with. He's gonna take a hit because these midterms gonna be down to, like, 35%, probably. So that's, like, about where George W. Bush was when the great financial crisis happened. Yep. The. This is appalling. And so when you look at 35 to 25, these are the kinds of things that can get us there. And now what you'll see is a Senate that has so many votes for impeachment that, like, this could really happen. The foreign corporation influence is nuts because the bank for International Settlements is out of Switzerland. It's the mother bank for the Federal Reserve, the Bank of London, the Bank of Australia. They funnel their money through this Swiss bank that kind of controls the liberal economic orders monetary system and I don't know how many Americans have heard of the bank for International Settlements. You should, you should know where your economy is. Being had mother brained to extricate from that I'm not even adding.
