I mean, because as we were talking with our last guest, there have been some efforts to, you know, change the swipe fees and things like that, which the banking companies say would potentially risk people's rewards programs.
I understand that you don't like the idea of credit cards, but use this for the rewards.
What would you think of legislation that might reduce those swipe fees or put other limitations on interest rates for credit cards, but might endanger those rewards that you get?

Well, I would just stop using it then.
I'm not looking at it as an individual thing.
I'm looking at it as a whole.
I mean, millions of people are stuck carrying month after month debt.
I mean, they got, what, balances, $10,000, $12,000, and, you know, it's like endless interest payments, like you're just working just to pay the banks.
I don't know.
You don't have the money, don't spend it, I guess.
I think it's anti-capitalist, the whole credit card system, if you ask me.
Well, let's now go to Faye in Ithaca, New York on our line for Democrats.
Good morning, Faye.

Good morning.
I have a number of comments.
First of all, I want to say to the Jeffrey Epstein survivors that you're not forgotten, that there are people out there that want the Epstein files to come out entirely, and we're rooting for you and keep the faith.
And the other thing is Bob Reiner, when he passed away and Trump said that he was deranged, was unbelievably insensitive.
I was horrified by that.
And also when Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Trump said that the Epstein survivors don't have the honor to meet with him.
I mean, what?
Let's talk about who's deranged.
I mean, it's the woman that came to the White House from Venezuela who won the Nobel Peace Prize and gave him her award.
I mean, how deranged is that?
What more does this country need to see that there's a real problem mentally and spiritually with the leader of this country?
I mean, first of all, Mar-a-Lago is not the White House.
We choose a president so they are in the White House.
That's where the work gets done.
Taxpayers are paying for the airplane and the security to constantly be going to Mar-a-Lago, constantly going to golf clubs.
I mean, then there's all the money the Trump family is making.
I mean, it goes on and on and on.
And when you have callers saying, oh, you know, I'm tired of hearing people call in and bashing Trump.
I don't want to bash anybody.
I want the truth.
PBS News Hour Weekend is now off the air.
They don't have the funding.
This administration took that away.
The news media is exceptional, okay?
PBS, BBC, C-SPAN, and there's others, okay?
This administration wants to silence the truth, including the military.
Faye, I actually want to follow up on something that you mentioned early in your comment about the Venezuelan leader Machado, who, as reported here in ABC News, said that she was grateful to Trump after giving him her Nobel medal.
The Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Carina Machado said on Friday that she was absolutely grateful to President Donald Trump after meeting with him Thursday and presenting him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal.
The president called it a, quote, wonderful gesture of mutual respect.
And yesterday, during her first news conference, since fleeing her home country, the exiled Venezuelan opposition leader was asked about that meeting, and here's what she said.
Do Not Allow Reopening00:00:21

Did you urge him to seek the arrest of Diosado Cabello?
Did you urge him not to meet with Del Codriguez, as he's indicated he would?
And did you urge him to not allow Del C. Rodriguez to reopen the Venezuelan embassy in Washington?
