So I've traveled a lot.
I've seen a lot of other parliaments.
I'm a member of the House Democracy Partnership Institute.
I've gone to a lot of countries and we still have the best system.
Yeah, but we need.
It's a mess, though, because good people don't want to run and they have to.
Young people have to run.
It is if you have enough fresh blood.
So like, how do you shock a system?
And you need to infuse it.
And so right now we have an interesting time period because we have a division.
So like going back to kind of the declassification efforts that we've been working on for the first time in U.S.
history, you have an aspect of the government that's being transparent and releasing information like we're helping wherever we can on that.
But that is only possible because the right people with the right mindset were appointed in those agencies to be able to try to force the system to do something.
But there's this aspect of that's just the executive branch, but you have the legislative branch.
And the legislative branch needs younger people that...
want to do this because they truly believe in fixing the system.
And you cannot be a pessimist in this job or else you will go crazy.
You would go crazy.
