I miss you on every night. And like a lot of people, I love your coverage of the protests. And I mean, I think I said this to you privately. We'll never know who watched your show and saw people in the next town doing it and so went out and did it in her town and brought her kids, right? I mean, it's the whole reason to be, you know, Y2 Podcast.

Like, people need to feel connected to you and to hear... the longer thoughts, I think, without the commercial breaks. And I wonder how you feel your coverage of the protests is part of that circuit of people feeling like they're doing something that they're doing in the next town and the next town and the next town and the next.

So I think, right, like Insanity's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So I tried to really critically examine what I'd been doing and think about what I could do differently. I really, really did. I also thought, I mean, I'm very inspired by... You're looking at the country.

Like, I think that as an ex-Republican who wanted to sort of mollusk myself onto a different party to solve all the problems like that's like, I think we're in almost a post-political party moment. It is the people are going to decide. We're going to have to decide what world we want for our kids and for the next generation. And so I know a lot of Trump voters.

I live – I have a politically divided family. And I never really bought that it was the price of eggs. Like I really – you know, me thinks it's more than the price of eggs. But let's see. But I – was fixated ahead of the election on the public ambivalence of the titans of business, the kinds of people that our colleague Steph Rule, you know, can get on the phone easily.

I don't know those people, but I brushed up against some of them when I was in politics, and I was... I was disgusted and fixated on their sort of sitting it out. And I felt angry at people with all this power and people who Trump still cared about, right? Like Trump revealed himself to really not give a shit about the press this time, which is kind of fascinating.

You know, in terms of a funnel, the thing that affects everyone is I think it's sort of the state of the federal government. And I've done a ton on Doge, on USAID. I mean, I know having worked for a Republican president that the people inside the federal government are desperate for the federal government to be more efficient. You want to find the efficiency hawks? You know where they are?

They're the goddamn federal workers themselves. They hate that they have to, like, put everything in writing because their computers aren't up to it. I mean, the people who most want the federal government to be more efficient are the federal workers.

So I always knew that, like, that was bullshit and that that was like a pretext for doing something sinister because there's no friction between the federal workforce and efficiency. They want it to. Right. But the other thing is the economy. And so I have always looked at economic journalism as like this thing so exotic to me. I don't understand it. I don't know who the people are.

I would be embarrassed. You know, I'd be more comfortable like interviewing LeBron James and Steve Leisman. Like I know more about what LeBron does than Steve. But I decided like I am going to have to do this thing because the economy, I am told – by, you know, our colleague Steve Kornacki and others, like this is what decided the election.
