And so figure out how to get that shit done.

And I think Trump, to his credit, and there's very little I'll give him credit for, but he's figured out that the...
voice-verified
institutions of government are not as sacrosanct as we've made them out to be, and has figured out how to barrel through these things to get what he wants.
voice-verified
Now, he's done it in a way that he can enrich himself.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
I mean, he is focused on him, on padding his own bottom line, on making sure that he triples his net worth, on encrusting the Oval Office in gold, and building his ballroom that he can party in, an arch that he can cement his legacy, you name it.
voice-verified
We have to be able to barrel through these institutions and processes and norms to deliver for people because people don't care about the norms.

They don't give a shit about the parliamentarian.

They just want to be able to eat food and pay for groceries and certainly not to have to decide whether they're going to pay their medical bills or their food bills.

voice-verified
Legacy media is not in the business of advocacy.
voice-verified
And so they're not able to say, fuck the sacrosanctity of the filibuster, get it done because people need affordable healthcare.
voice-verified
They have to just talk about what's happening.
voice-verified
And often they'll do it through this both side lens.
voice-verified
And I think that's what people are just exhausted with, this idea that if you do not give equal time to the failings of the Democrats and the Republicans and equate
voice-verified
you know, a misplaced modifier on the left with the fact that there's an insurrection on the right, then somehow you'll lose this sense of neutrality.
voice-verified
And in an era where the asymmetry between the two parties is so great, that is just exhausting and frankly untenable.
voice-verified
And why independent media has risen the way that it has?
