in the sense that a loss of faith, a loss of confidence in our ability as citizens to use the rights we have as citizens to shape this country's future because we're doom scrolling in the fetal position,

or waiting for some charismatic savior to ride in as a national figure who will fix all this.

We have a president who is completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented brazen personal corruption, who is passing one of the most unpopular agendas in American history.

The public is turning against him.

The opposition is motivated.

We can win and we have to win.

but we don't have the luxury of despair or self-pity or kind of wallowing in doubt.

So I just want folks to focus on what we can control.

And yes, we in Congress have obligations to rise to this moment and all of us have obligations to work like hell to win these midterm elections and to restore some checks and balances to Washington.

That works for me.

Just cut the doom scrolling in half.

So a few thoughts on the corruption.

First of all, I think we have to absolutely hammer away at it.

make sure that the public sees it and understands it because it is it is like the most shocking brazen and overt abuse of power in presidential history by degrees of magnitude we're talking about billions of dollars a lot of it through cryptocurrency vehicles directly to the first family and he's got his personal envoy right like his his his

sort of roving diplomat, Steve Wyckoff, who, by the way, the wars that they promised to end are still raging, whose son is doing business with the Trump boys in this world liberty financial vehicle that foreign sovereign wealth funds are pouring billions of dollars into.

You know, there is good reason to believe that they are shaping American grand strategy

around the personal financial interests of the first family.

And the hypocrisy is stunning.

Like one of the things I said at a rally a few months ago was like, Hunter Biden should have been more ambitious.

This is an insane level of corruption and self enrichment.
