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.

I'm not saying everyone over 65 needs to automatically retire. But the older you get, the easier this choice gets. And they just don't care enough about the country to make the right choice. And I think it's a cultural problem in the party that people need to get tougher about discussing openly and not be held back by, oh, we need to be sensitive to their feelings.

And, oh, they've served us so long and the poor old guy.

You make a really good distinction there. Because sometimes this, you know, the pushback is, oh, this is ageist and we need to respect our elders. If you want to work till you die, I'm for that. I don't care. I mean, I understand. Maybe it's smarter to want to spend some of your golden years with your grandchildren. All this is a personal choice.

If you started a PR firm and some 30-year-old young buck is trying to kick you out... Fight back. Keep working. I don't care. It doesn't matter what you do. Whatever you need to feel fulfilled, I'm for. This is public service. And this was my thing with the Biden thing the whole time. And I wrote several columns about this. This is not about you. This is not about your legacy.

Your legacy is 100% immaterial to anyone except for you and Jill and And your grandkids like that's it. And so and frankly, you're harming it by what you're doing. But like there's just has been so much focus on all of that rather than focus on this is public service. The threats are very great right now. And as a leader, you need to do what is in the public interest first.

And, you know, I just think that you pointed that out perfectly. And then you add into that just. The fact that there's been no, I think finally the pressure is starting to build for the Democrat leadership class to reconsider this. Because just the idea that after the Biden catastrophe, that Jerry Connolly won a leadership battle against AOC to run the oversight committee, it was preposterous.
