And one of my new colleagues, actually from Rhode Island, said, this is outrageous. This violates equal production. Let's go to the Supreme Court. And I was like, yeah, we've been there. We've done that. The Roberts Court is not exactly all over these unconstitutional...

Yeah, I mean, fortunately, they're more divided than they are even hateful of us. So they can't get together to get anything done. If you look at the last Congress, the only way that we kept the government afloat and going was Democrats coming in to bail out Mike Johnson. And I think it's going to be the same thing. I do think there could be some issues where we get together.

For example, Donald Trump is very proud of the fact that He beat Kamala by 3 million votes. And we are proud of the fact that Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 7 million votes in 2020. But if they're proud of the popular vote, why don't we get rid of the Electoral College and start electing the president the way we elect everybody else, like representatives and senators and mayors and governors?

Why don't we actually come together and step forward? I mean, the Electoral College can get you killed these days, as we saw in 2020. And it's given us five popular vote losers in our history twice in this century, Donald Trump and George W. Bush. So let's move forward on that. Why don't we get together on that?

Yes, and being in the minority definitely is a lot more fun. And it invites a lot of creativity. And it's, you know, it's a riot in the pre-January 6th sense of the word.

But look, we we now have the opportunity to organize for massive Democratic victory in 2026. And that's exactly what we're doing, because we think that everywhere they're headed is so extreme that the vast majority of the American people are going to reject it. Most Americans do not want to ban abortion across the country. Most Americans do not want to deport 12 million people.

Most Americans don't want to turn the Department of Justice into an instrument of revenge and retaliation. And we're going to be standing up every single day, John, for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the freedoms and rights of the people.

I mean, look, I think it's going to come from all over the country. I think it's going to come from Democracy Summer, the project we've got for young people all over America to learn about the history of social change in the country and to get involved in digital organizing and canvassing and organizing. And You know, it might come from our two new states.

And I'm not talking about Panama and Greenland. I'm talking about Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, which we are fighting to admit as new states.

If you have a retreat, oh, would I love to come down there and... All right, you will be our guest comedic speaker at Democracy Summit.
