You get a full time job.

You work nine to five.

And then at six o'clock, you have a class Monday through Thursday.

I am the Thursday class, right?

I am the last class before the start of their weekend, though they do have to work Friday, usually on Fridays.

So I say that and I am I am mindful that this is they're there to they're there to learn.

I am not beating them up over assignments, though.

I do make them.

There are two assignments, a midterm and a final that I do expect them to do.

I've had Mark Short.

I've had Brendan Buck on the Republican side, Jake LaTurner.

I've had Jeff Zients.

I've had Neera Tanden.

I've had Debbie Dingle.

So I try to have a good balance of...

I try to I want to have a couple of lobbyists, including those that lobby from the right for the excuse me, from industry and those that lobby from activist groups.
