Wildalaskan.com slash bulwark for $35 off your first order. Thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode. I wanted to get to the politics of this.

And so obviously nothing but sympathies for the families of Sylvester Turner, Raul Grijalva, and Jerry Connolly. But – They're all over 70, and they're all running in safe Democratic districts. Jerry's maybe a little bit less so, but generally they all have been replaced by younger Democrats. And Republicans probably still jam this through.

I think what this points to is just a broader cultural problem within the Democratic Party's leadership class. When you're a public servant, the responsibility you have is to the American public. You affect hundreds of millions of lives in this country and around the world. That is an awesome responsibility.

That responsibility should dwarf whatever feelings you have about your own life and your own satisfaction. What you should be thinking when you wake up every day is, how can I maximize my choices to benefit the broader world given the How many people depend on my choices?

They've decided, you know, my life won't have as much meaning if I step aside and let some younger person take this job. That's what Ruth Bader Ginsburg decided. That's what Dianne Feinstein decided. That's what Joe Biden decided. That's what all these old Democrats who actuarially stand a high chance of dying in office at an important time.
