That's the whole point of the show, right?
We want to have a civil discourse and actually address these issues.
I mean, I also appreciate him engaging with us on that stuff.
I'm a little different.
I didn't agree with him on a lot of things.
A lot I did.
Top down, a lot of it, I feel like we're in the same position of like, oh, yeah, we're being run by a petulant egotist.
When it comes to the characterization of the left and why we got here, I feel like he and I probably differ.
But he did sound like he was willing to listen and hear people out about that kind of thing.
So I thought it was a really productive conversation.
If he comes back, one thing I'd like to talk to him about more, Matt, is he was talking, you know, I think your great point about like, oh, part of the reason this crisis isn't worse is because of all these EVs.
Like EVs are actually helping us in a way that people aren't seeing or like delaying the...
I hope he does run with that, as he said he would.
I'd love to talk to him more because I know he supported a federal solar bill for federal buildings.
And I'd love to hear more how he thinks that we can...
structurally and culturally, because I do agree that we need to get used to waste not being a virtue.
I don't agree that consumers are going to fight climate change.
That's an old narrative that has already been debunked.
We can't do it by conserving as a consumer.
If corporations are still just burning fossil fuels, it's not going to make a difference if I recycle.
