How's he doing?
Again, we understand that there are people who have a job to do.
We do not understand how that system got abused this way.
Um, and you know, it's kind of a long road back to normal, but, um, uh, I mean, he's a really strong person and, um, you know, we're, we're getting through it.
Uh, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that this, you know, really affected us.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's like, if you're a human being, like you, it actually does two kind of opposite things at the same time.
Like one thing it does to you is it makes you want to just run away from the bullshit and into the arms of your family as fast and hard as you can.
And then at the same time, the other thing it makes you want to do is whatever it is you can do to make this the kind of place where stuff like that doesn't happen and where just our politics generally is different.
And that's part of why I mentioned outreach.
It's not just that people were nice.
It's that I could feel a hunger for different kind of public life in this country.
And so I feel like both of those things.
And I do think there's also something...
weird and twisted and maybe this is everywhere but I only know it in the American like political culture where like if somebody says that they're like not gonna run again or they're leaving office so they can like be with their family more like in Washington speak that's immediately taken as code for like they've done something wrong right it's like this is just like synonymous with like scandal or or screw up right nobody could actually want to be with their family that much actually uh be what's on your mind is
Which is so strange because like, I think it's the, you know, it's definitely like the number one regret or complaint of people I know who are in this life.
And it's the number one thing that makes it hard to do.
Even just the regular stuff, like being on the road a lot and being away from your family, let alone the kind of threats or fear or harm that can come to your family or the effect on your family of the things that are, that happened to you, you know, all of that.
How could that not?
How could that not be like on your mind when you're thinking about where you fit in and whether your highest and best use is politics?
