And Joe Biden got rejected last year by the United States Supreme Court on his student loan program. So that- what he wanted to do is buy votes. He says to all these people- a lot of people- I mean honestly, I'm looking, I'm seeing that's billions of people. He wanted to buy votes. So he said, "We're going to cut your student loan." Now the- the problem with that is many of the people here, but large numbers of people went through years and years to pay off their loan. All of a sudden, this guy comes along and in order to try and buy an election- I guess I don't blame him, but it's very unfair. But the Supreme Court rejected it. So then he goes in now again with a little smaller version of the same thing. He's going to get rejected. And I'm just saying: I will take care of our students far better than him. We're going to take care of our students. We're going to help our students. We're going to make their life good. But what he did is so terrible. So he didn't- he didn't obey the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and now he's doing another one, which is actually a smaller version, but it's even more becocked, okay? It's even- it's even worse. So it's really a- it's a terrible thing, but he's going to be rejected there too.
