2018, we sold our company in 2016.

It is, you know, if you were to ask me, you know, there's four or five paths to get to 2029 that we'll get to.

I was trying to figure out what to do next.

I had a one-year non-compete, so I couldn't work in the industry that I was in for a year.

They have a lot more in common.

And I started going around because I was frustrated that my representative wasn't standing up to Trump.

That's the one that I think is the most likely, that we're in some sort of, that it's not just a presidency unfinished.

They, Bernie would hate neither.

One of them would accept that premise though.

And I felt like what we needed in this era is someone who's standing up to Trump.

They may agree in a cup acknowledge that they agree on some of this stuff, but the distrust of big corporations in particular, I mean, you know, and, and,

It's a presidency that's been based on destruction.

And my big issue for my whole life has been trying to do something about climate change.

And whether physical destruction of buildings, right?

The businesses I ran and most of what the legislating I've done.

He claims he's a builder, but right now he seems to knock stuff down a hell of a lot better than he does building anything these days.

And a good friend of mine, Katie McGinty, who had been the head of the Council of Environmental Quality in the Clinton White House, she said, I'm not going to encourage you to run, but I will tell you that this is, if you know what you want to have written on your tombstone about what you contributed to the earth during your time on it, there's no better job than being a member of Congress.

I think that moment is coming, and I think the question is, is the person who puts that coalition together a responsible actor or an irresponsible actor?

So I do think you'll see some pushback.

But, you know, this is what happens when you clear the press out of the Pentagon.
