Please.

That'll be your job now for the next hour.

Yeah, it's not COVID.

It's not 2019.

Yes.

That's the agency piece, right?

Like, that's where we have agency.

And nothing extraordinary has to happen.

We don't even need to go to impeachment or the 25th Amendment, Mitch.

We just have to realize that it's a problem of our own making that the Senate could start functioning as it was designed to do today.

We'll take a quick pause here.

When we're back, much more with this stellar panel we've convened.

Former Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana Mitch Landrieu, Princeton professor and author, Dr. Eddie Glaude, and former Naval War College professor and writer for The Atlantic, Tom Nichols.

Don't go anywhere.

Let me add to your construction sort of a whole pocket of people that I think aren't as nefarious as the tech executives who stood shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump at his second inauguration, either wittingly or unwittingly, looking at the American people as the oligarchy, looking at their subjects.

The second layer are the kinds of people I used to know and work with, Mitch.

And I know you know a lot of these people because they were around President George W. Bush.

Those are some of the same people waiting this out.

They know how wrong it is.

They're sort of the quiet people that think they're going to wait this out.
