okay we did epstein the files aren't coming out we aren't being able to stop money in politics we're see all this waste and fraud if we give up on having a national purpose national aspiration we lose this country and i and i don't know how that to me is the hardest thing to fight it's like i can tell you the programs i'm for but how do we overcome the despair that

the anger, the cynicism.

All the industries hollowed out.

They didn't care.
