Now, they may not be, like, Washington Democrats or, like, federal, like, congressional part of our party, but because I think the folks who are saying, like, government got this wrong, which might be true any number of times, what they're really saying is, like, the policies of this person in government got it wrong, but they don't have an answer. Their answer is burn it all down, right?

If we haven't solved poverty... Their answer is we're going to slash Medicaid, which is what the Republican budget moving through Congress right now will do is slash Medicaid. Medicaid may not be perfect. In fact, I know for a fact, like many issues come up in the way it's administered, the way people have access to it.

But I also know for a fact that if your answer to that is just to cut out a bunch of poor people. Or VA, like any veteran can tell you. The horror stories of all the times things didn't go right in dealing with the VA. But if you think the answer is to just cut it or privatize it, that's not an answer. We can do better than that.

And I think my party's job is to make clear what that looks like and how we would do it better. How would you do it? Well, I would follow the lead of some of these mayors we're talking about who are solving some of these problems in a more localized area. City governments that...

Well, there's that perception and reality thing. I mean, back again to aviation, right? So a lot of folks are nervous flyers, don't know if it's safe to fly. Meanwhile, like I said, there was this horrible crash in January, but America went 15 years without a fatal commercial airline crash.

Meanwhile, the number of people who are going to die today in car crashes is basically the same as the number of people you can fit into a 737. And yet most of us... Every day. Every single day. 40,000 people a year. Yeah. Ish. Yeah. Same as gun violence, roughly. And yet most people feel safer when they get in a car. Yeah. Especially if they're the ones driving. You're on the ground.
