Once again, just like Trump, all the very shady tactics that Viktor Orban was trying to deploy and employ, these false flag operations, just all the nonsense that he put up with, but he also did so in a dignified way.

He built these coalitions.

He brought everyone together.

And the people rose up, and they showed that no matter how many roadblocks that these autocrats want to put in the way of the people, that the people can overcome them if they have enough energy, if they have enough enthusiasm, if they are pointed in the right direction.

That's why I view this might as mighty as a pro-democracy movement across the world, not just in the United States.

And I love all of our international friends and partners.

And, you know, I think it's important that we have a value based network here that doesn't cheerlead individual politicians, but that presents a list of values that we all want to follow, that we all want to see in this country.

And I think if you have that, then you could report on things honestly.

You could report on things

in a straightforward way.

And unfortunately, as we've seen over these past few days, as we've seen since the beginning of time, politicians will let you down.

We saw this with Eric Swalwell, the multiple accusations now that have come out against them, which are horrifying, ranging from the sending of inappropriate photos to allegations of rape.

awful stuff and shout out to all the victims who are coming forward.

And I hear more are coming forward as well in the coming days.

And I think it's important for us to stand with those women and understand that this isn't about any one politician, right?

This isn't about that.

This is about our, it's not about a political party.

This is about values that we want to see, that we want to uphold.

So today, to go back to the beginning of the episode, we learned that Representative Eric Swalwell has announced that he is resigning from Congress.

And we've also learned that Representative Tony Gonzalez, Republican, is also resigning from Congress.
