I'm usually the stick approach first. Yeah. So I'd really like the big stick to come out. Let's see how these hearings begin in really just a couple days, how they start to play out. But I think there needs to be a conversation behind the scenes of, you know, we'd love for you to do the right thing. And if you don't, there are going to be serious consequences.

But imagine— Because most of these elected officials— This is one thing that I've noticed about DC having been there for way too long. They are experts in self-preservation. Yeah. They want to come back. That's what they care about. Right. They want to come back in two years as a member of the House. They want to come back in six years as a member of the Senate.

You're going to call her a bad person. Really? The corporation, the corporate lobbyists and all of these various interests have way too much say in how a senator actually or congressman actually operates instead of the people that actually voted them into office.

And you and I both know this because the lobbyists are in there every day pressuring, making sure there's a lot of money coming in for the reelection campaign so they can get reelected. The idea of self-preservation. It's a pretty, I mean, there's a whole host of things wrong with our system today, but this is one of them. The bell that rings that they respond to is not the right bell.

This is what concerns me a little bit about the current Republican leadership in both the House and the Senate of... I wouldn't mind. Politically speaking, I want to make that very clear. Politically speaking, it's okay to break a few legs and just say this is the reality of what's going to happen.

So this is a bigger frustration with the Republican Party. People give you power, political power, to use the political power to enact change. I think too many Republicans have come to D.C. and are like, isn't this a lovely experience? It's going to be a great career. We have a lot of careerists who are enjoying the fun career in D.C., And Democrats are like, by God, we have political power.

We're going to break you to achieve what we want to achieve to fundamentally change and transform this country. They're religious zealots. And we're all sitting here going, oh, that's kind of mean. We probably shouldn't do that. If you have been given political power, you should freaking use the political power given to you by the American people.
