igence community assessment. But we know from other reporting that he definitely not only did they rely on it but it was the primary thing they relied on. That's a pretty big lie. That's as big a lie as you can get. That's an overthrowing the country lie. So I don't know if they'll get him for more than lying, but if you're lying for the purpose of overthrowing the country, and there's no doubt about that, that's exactly what it was. I don't know, maybe there's some other crime involved.

John Stewart continues to be interesting in his criticism of his own team because there's only now a handful of people on the political left who are willing to accurately and full-throatedly insult their own team's performance. And Stewart, I think, does the best of that because he's not crazy. And I do believe that Stewart wants to get the right answer as opposed to the team answer. And I appreciate that. I mean it's a hard balance because he needs to keep his audience and everything else, but he does seem to be seeking truth. And he went after, he had Bernie Sanders on his show and he said to Bernie is it frustrating that the thing you fought for your whole career Democrats are the one who run away scared and Trump has embraced some of it and I thought to myself what exactly has Trump done that would be Bernie Sanders preferred policies. I couldn't think of anything but then John Stewart gave two examples and I said, "Huh, you might be on to something."

One of the examples was Trump taking equity in businesses. So that's something that Stewart called socialism. I called it capitalism. To me it was just free money and if Trump could get it and he could get it for the benefit of the public and it wasn't just taking it but rather was adding something to the company's success that would be totally worth the fact that they had given up some equity. But I can see how you could define that as maybe some kind of a socialist thing. I could see that. And then the second thing was that Trump's got a government website for selling pharma products cheaper directly to customers in some but not all cases. Now would that be an example of something that Bernie wanted the government to be more involved in direct health care work kind of. Yeah. So these are actually not bad examples of where but if you call it socialism you're doing what I call word thinking. You haven't added anything except controversy. So what I call them is common sense. So I don't see them as right or left. I don't see either one of those as right or left. Common sense. Why do you have to be a Democrat to want to lower pharma costs? There's nothing left or right about that. Why do you want to be a socialist just because there's an opportunity to take equity while also helping the industry and helping the company? Isn't that more like common sense? There's nobody who's losing. If you have a situation where everybody wins and nobody loses, what's that? That's just common sense. So we'll see if common sense beats socialism.

I'm still a little fascinated why those no kings protests and some of the other ones we've seen are so many old white people. And I feel like there's more than one reason and you'd have to have all the reasons to get what we have. One reason is that many of them are old hippies and they're just enjoying a final run. It's like, ah, I've been a hippie all my life
