It's not different. And I'll give you an example. And I always say this, and people say, why do you say this? When we were on the street, we had a lot of Democratic politician friends. As a matter of fact, the most powerful guy in the Democratic Party at that time, I won't mention his name, he's passed on now, but he's very close with us. We had a lot of Democrats that we were working with.

Why Democrats? They were easier to corrupt. The Republicans were always known as the law and order people. We stayed away from them, you know, because they were always law and order.

He was on a payroll and he did a lot of favors for us. You know, I always say this. What do politicians want? They want two things. They want votes and they want money. At one point in time, we controlled all the unions in this country. You control the unions, Dr. Drew, you control the country in a big way. Because Teamsters Union, you had two and a half million members plus their family, right?

Again, I don't like to speak out of turn because I'm hearing now what everybody else is hearing.
