I feel bad for people that are working at places where they're exposed to this disease and they're getting nothing for it. So that's what I said earlier. Like if you're working at a grocery store and it's like you're getting shit money and you're being exposed to this, it's like we should do, as a country, we should do something for you. Yeah. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's like, hey man, you had a student loan, we're taking care of it. Or like, hey, you want a good interest rate on a mortgage? Five years from now, we're doing it for you. Like, we got to do something for those people. Right. Your job used to be stacking apples. Now your job is you could die. Stacking apples. Stacking apples. There's got to be some way to... Because we're all depending on those supply chains and those things being open. So if you're putting meat in a package, if you're at Bristol Farms, a store that I love, if you're doing whatever. Is that your spot? That's my spot. I love it there. It's just great. It's just, it's for new money. It's for trash. It's not like Air One, which is for healthy people. Bristol Farms is for millionaires that want Apple Jacks. It's like for TikTok people, rappers. I saw a lady in Air One, she was dressed up like a hot beekeeper. Yeah, that's what Air One's all about. She was so protected. You had the goggles and the masks. Yeah, Bristol Farms is absurd. It's like people pull up in Bentleys and get s'mores pie. They have s'mores pie at Bristol Farm. It's like you got to be a real gutter trash. But those people need some benefit. So that's what I mean when I say it's a failure of the government. You can't pin it directly on Trump. Everyone pins everything directly on Trump. I don't think he's doing phenomenally, especially in communicating he's doing what he does. But I think, look at the system and you go, well, we just passed a $2 trillion bailout. We're giving people $1,200. That can't be the solution. Anything he does that's really good gets minimized when he does something stupid. It's hard for people to give him the post about his ratings. The post about his ratings that beat the bachelor. If that's not trolling, then it's real. I don't know if it is trolling. I don't think it's trolling. But you can't do that when people are falling down dead. It's crazy. You can't do it. It's a problem. So anything good that he does, like closing off traffic to China early and deciding, hey, listen, this travel to China is not smart. Back and forth. We have to stop that. People are really upset at him. That gets diminished by a tweet like that. I think he wants people to like. I think he wants the media and Hollywood to like him. I think that's what his supporters don't understand. I think he actually is a creation of Hollywood. All these people that are like, Hollywood, Trump's taken on Hollywood. It's like he's a creation of Hollywood. This is the guy that loved the Clintons up until he ran against them. Well, he was the host of a Hollywood television show. So it's just convenient that he became this crusader against the elites that he spent his entire life around. Well, that was his point though. His point was, I know what they actually do because I used to pay them 100%. I mean, that was his point that people bought into it. They're like, oh yeah, this guy's going to fight on our behalf. I've just never believed that about any politician because I'm an adult. I think it's complicated, like everything. You almost need a guy like him today to show that a guy like him can get through. Sure. You know what I'm saying? To understand the frailty of the system. Yes, the fragility. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, they hire those hackers to test your... Yes, you can get through. Or they give a guy at the airport and go, can you get through? Yeah. Right. But hackers, it's a famous thing that companies will do to hire hackers to try to break into their software. Yeah. To find out what are our vulnerabilities. This is a weird thing to run a simulation. This is a weird... During a pandemic, it might not be the idea to run a simulation with a guy and be like, hey, let's see. I don't think it's a simulation. No, I'm kidding. This guy figured the exploit, but now we know the exploit. Look, having a popularity contest to see who controls the nukes is crazy. It's crazy. Especially because we're frivolous. Yeah. And what do we pay more attention to? The Kardashians. Who's right. And I got to be honest with you, they won't... If Kim Kardashian would make a better president than a lot of people, a lot of people in Congress, that's how crazy it's gotten. That's how crazy it's been. That she's not the worst out there. She's not the worst. She's not the worst. She's a business woman. She's smart. She's working for prison reform. She's doing things... She goes to Trump and helps people get out of jail that are unjustly imprisoned. That's great. She has for many, many people right now. That's pretty cool. I think it's something like more than 18 people have been released because of Kim Kardashian. I think it's crazy. Kim, I'll go with you. If you want to go to the White House. I'll tag along. I want to see you with a MAGA hat on. I will go there. I mean, listen, I'll wear any hat. Do you think that would ruin your Hollywood career? I don't think I have a Hollywood... If I have a Hollywood career, someone let me know. Someone email me or call if I have a Hollywood career. You don't want one. My career is in my apartment. That's better. That's the reality. My career is a microphone. I get to see what I want. I would like a... I'd like to be an extra in Carb your enthusiasm. I could do something very funny on a show like that.
