Because if we don't have cops, somebody's going to go, well, I like Lex's equipment. Why don't I just go into his house and take it? Right. So you need the cops to protect you. And that's the government. So people say, oh, I hate big government. Do you? Right. It depends. Right.

If your house is getting robbed, all of a sudden you like the government, but you also need cops on wall street because if you allow insider trading, the powerful are going to rob you blind and the little guy's going to get screwed. So that's this easy example. And so, If you don't have those cops, the bad guys are going to take over. They're going to set the rules, rig the rules in their favor.

So that's why you need regulation. And so the Republicans on purpose made regulation a dirty word.

And then sometimes on the left, people fall for the trap of all regulation is good. A guy I like has a great analogy on this, Matt Stoller. He's one of the original, I would argue, progressives. And there's about four of us. I'm sure there's more, but... that have stayed true to the original meaning of progressivism and populism. Me, Matt Stoller, David Sirota, Ryan Grimm. Okay.

And it used to be in that original blogger group, there was guys like Glenn Greenwald and other interesting cats, right? But they went in different directions. So Matt has a great line. He says, if somebody comes up to you and says, how big a pipe do you want? There is no answer for that. It depends on the job, doesn't it? Right? What are we doing? What are we building?

I'm going to tell you the size of the pipe, depending on the project. So when people say, are you in favor of regulation or against it? That's an absurd question. Of course you need regulation. It just means laws, right? So don't kill your neighbor is a regulation, right? So my idea is a simple one and one we're going to keep coming back to balance.

So when my dad was a small business owner in New Jersey and they inspected the elevator six times a year, that was over-regulation. And I said to my dad, so should they not inspect it at all? I'm a young kid growing up. And he said, no, no, no, you got to inspect it at least twice a year. I said, why? He said, because in Turkey, sometimes they don't inspect it and then the elevator falls.
