This is about making sure that corruption doesn't go unchecked and it should be done in a way that is raising the bar, whether we're talking about Republicans or Democrats or anybody else in power, abusing their power.

I believe much more of that's happening among Republicans right now than not, but it's not about Republicans and Democrats, right?

And I actually think we only get to...

a place where things get better in this country when we've established that the kind of self-dealing, the kind of corruption, the kind of, I'm pretty confident, illegal behavior, but that has to be shown, right, in court, that there's some accountability for that.

And if we get it right...

Kind of a permission structure for people who were part of it to renounce it as well.

I actually think that's really important.

Nobody can make somebody do that.

But I know you and I both know there are a lot of people who are part of this who know in their hearts that they're part of something that is wrong.

And.

If any one of us is wrong about something politically or ideologically, whatever.

I mean, we're right, we're wrong.

That is what it is.

But if people are part of something that's legally wrong or wrong by the lights of just basic morality in this whole country, never mind the politics of it, there has to be a way to talk about that.

And over time, there has to be a way to talk about that openly so that we get to a place, when I'm thinking about 2050, where...

You know, there are certain just basic boundaries and principles that people who voted either way last time around agree on by then.

The people who are against each other on all kinds of things still agree on this as the foundation.

I mean, I definitely think there's some, like, weird gold filigree that's got to come off a lot of federal buildings and some pictures of the dear leader that have to go.

But I don't know.

I mean, to me, the thing about the ballroom more is just what it symbolizes, right?
