We need to understand what was promised to them, what they promised the president, and get to the root of this corruption.

You know, you mentioned the DOJ.

I was the deputy cabinet secretary in the White House, which meant working with all of the different cabinets every day on the president's agenda.

All but one cabinet I interacted with on a daily basis.

And that one

was the Department of Justice because we recognized and respected how valuable and important it was to the country of an independent DOJ.

And so I couldn't even send holiday party invites to the DOJ without clearing things through White House Counsel's Office.

That's how seriously we took it.

And the fact is, you look at the contrast of Donald Trump literally sliding into Pam Bondi's DMs and telling her that she's not being harsh enough to his political enemies shows you how far we have fallen.

So we need to start by getting to the very bottom of what is happening, using our subpoena power and making it clear to the American people just how much corruption Donald Trump has allowed.

That's how we start to win back hearts and minds.

And that's how we start fighting back with our agenda to lower costs.

That's a great question.

And, you know, I got criticized recently in the town hall because when people talked about what should we do once we win back the House, I said, I'm not even convinced we're going to have elections unless we're careful about making sure we're empowering our secretary of states all across our country.

That means working with our state officials to make sure that we have not only the funding, but security.

around our secretaries of state all across this country.

It means making sure that we have the right lawyers at every single polling booth all across the country to make sure shenanigans aren't happening.

Because I don't think that that is a given without a thoughtful strategy.

And I haven't heard enough from Democrats as to what we're going to do to make sure that these elections even happen.

Secondly, Donald Trump, even when we lose the House, will be doing every sorry, even when he loses the House, excuse me, will be doing everything he can to hold on to power and everything he can to pick his successor.
