And frankly, anybody who spent a lot of time around some of these folks in Congress who were impeaching him and all of that, you quickly lose respect sometimes for the institution itself. You ever testified in Congress? Yeah, go testify in Congress and tell me how you feel about it afterwards. It was a real eye-opening experience.

I mean, you have a different respect for people when they see them on television versus what it is in reality. It's very different. They all are different. They're just like us. They're not special. They just happen to be in a particular position. We're all equally capable American citizens and human beings.

When you see the hearing, you see the senator pounding the table. What you don't see in between is the two staffers passing them cue cards. Some of them could not string a sentence together. to save their lives.

Some of them are intelligent. I'm going to be prejudiced and say some of the lawyers were able to string sentences together on both sides.

They do have a lot of power. The staff has, and that goes back to our problem. The sheer volume of legislation that comes before the Senate and the size of the bills is anti-democratic. It's physically impossible for any, I mean, Rand Paul talks about this. It's physically impossible for anyone to actually read that stuff and digest it.

So you have to rely on young staffers or even worse, lobbyists to tell you what's going on in these bills.

That's another problem.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely.

And it's not just the government. It's all the NGOs that do the fundraising inside and feed on that. All parties, by the way. So this is a problem. It is divorced from reality. When I was running for chair of the Republican National Committee, I had this idea that maybe we should break it up and put sections of it back in America so we keep in touch.
