There should be no masks here.

We shouldn't be negotiating things that are already our constitutional rights.

And I'd like to see people who are...

maybe a little bit more punchy communicators.

I don't even know if it's the communication because it's not like John Thune on the Republican side is the best communicator, but he knows how to use the leverage at his disposal.

So just to wrap it up, I want to see a Democratic Party that's less risk averse, that is willing to take risks, willing to punch back, is not going to be beholden to special interest groups and is actually willing to take the fight to them.

And I think that we need new leaders in Congress to do that.

i think that politicians work just like any other human in the sense that the incentives around them will guide how they act and currently the incentives in our institutions there's this institutional rot where the incentives aren't pointing us are sorry are pointing our politicians towards helping the average person but they're pointing our politicians towards

basically like fileting these donors, being as nice as possible to these donors, always appeasing the donors first and foremost.

And that is a huge problem with the structure of American politics.

And I absolutely see it with Hakeem Jeffries.

AIPAC is one of the most...

clear examples due to their outsized power, but it's not just APAC.

There's a bunch of different PACs.

There's a bunch of different lobbies that Democrats and Republicans are beholden to.

Now, Republicans more so.

I think Democrats are on a different level.

I think that they're beginning to wake up and they're beginning to push in the right direction.

But

there is an institutional rot that needs to be fixed.
