I am well.
It's such a privilege to be here with you.
We talk about refreshing the content you're putting out, the conversation that you're leading.
I just really appreciate you.
So it's an honor and privilege to be with you.
Yeah, well, I mean, we filled up last week $20 more than we had a month ago.
And that's a consequence of our tax dollars being used to raise our gas prices.
There are two parts to this job.
There is the procedural part of the job and then there's the platform part of the job.
I think too many folks in the U.S.
Senate forget that there's the whole platform part of the job.
Your job in the U.S.
Senate is not just to do the procedural things.
It's to make sure that you are narrating outcomes for people and explaining what's going on.
And I think part of the problem is that Democrats have kind of forgotten how to persuade.
Like we've given up on the idea that there are people out there who are persuadable.
And so if we're talking at all, we're talking specifically to people who already agree with us rather than going out there into the places where people can be won over because you're exactly right.
If you're filling up your...
honker truck, at the end of the day, you're paying a lot more money to do it because of the consequences of your tax dollars.
Go take that argument out to the people.
