I read that there is a small business that is paying $20 million to Donald Trump's mean coin. They're buying $20 million. And the CEO is bragging that he's hoping that he's going to get exemptions for the trade negotiations with Mexico. How is this... happening in plain sight and we aren't railing against it. Our party should be the party that says, we don't take PAC money.

We don't take lobbyist money. We should be against super PACs. Abolish them. No one should be allowed to give millions of dollars to a super PAC when they can only give $3,500 to a candidate. That's only in my bill to do that. And Maine passed that by 70%. We should be, of course, against stock trading. We should be the party that says, we're not for members of Congress becoming lobbyists.

that lobbyists shouldn't be able to give members money or gifts or White House officials gifts, that no elected official should be able to trade in meme coins. Let's become the party that says, let's clean up the mess.

You know, I think we can advocate to the legislation, first of all, to stop it before, you know, voluntarily complying. Where I do think we should voluntarily comply is in Democratic primaries. I mean, look, if the Republican nominee is Donald Trump in the past, I had no problem that Kamala Harris had to match the spending. But we don't need to do that in a Democratic primary.

On Alcatraz, I mean, that's just like employment taking over Greenland or Canada. I mean, this is his distraction because he knows that he's losing on the economy.
