Honestly, it seems pretty obvious, but the Democratic Party, at least elements of it, certainly in DC, have really walked away from that.

I think working people walked away from them because of it.

I mean, absolutely to the financial crisis.

Bailing out the banks, bailing out the big industries, letting people walk away with gold or jump away with golden parachutes while those banks still turn around and foreclosed on people's homes.

While...

the average working person saw their, frankly, their retirement savings just disappear.

And then we watched the political apparatus back up the people that broke the thing in the first place.

I think that was huge.

That broke a lot of trust.

But I also think that that's why, I'll just be entirely upfront.

I mean, I think that's why we need to...

kind of change the political will of the Democratic Party to go a little bit further, to actually go after.

I mean, people should have gone to prison.

I mean, Iceland put people in prison.

And I understand that, I mean, but Trump administration's happy to abuse the Justice Department and send them after folks.

They send them after like Comey, because he hurt Trump's feelings.

I honestly don't think the American people would be angry if the Justice Department went after folks that like destroyed their retirement savings or kicked their neighbors out of their homes.

It's a, and that's the problem, I think.

But that's the other thing.

We need people in the Senate and the House who want to pass these laws and also, frankly, put enforcement mechanisms in place.
