A golden age in our economy. And the thing you've got to understand is they're halfway right, it is a golden age for them. Folks like your incumbent congressman and incumbent senator and the incumbent folks in the White House. Things are going along just fine for them. They got $2 billion in crypto money to the first family, which is not even a sentence I would have known how to say a year ago, they've got members of Congress lining their pockets, trading stocks while they're taking votes that move markets, and your junior senator voted against doing something to ban stock trading. So you see, things are going along just fine for them.
