Yes, have the life that you dreamed of.

But I also think that that shouldn't come...

if it means that America turns into like this casino that gets rigged where only a select number of elites actually get to do that, actually get to win.

And competition is the word I think about.

Again, I come from sports, right?

And the premise of competition, as in you need to be regulated by a rule book that forces fair play

And that proves that meritocracy is defended not just by shame, which has been ineffective certainly in the last decade, but by rule of law.

That's the only plausible way that I can imagine that game being played.

Well, even more than that, sports is a place where lots of.

very normal people who are not politically active or politically self-identified as conscious, they really care about the rules being enforced.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

They're not following the bills you're passing, unfortunately.

No.

But they know, wait a minute, this looks like it's rigged against my team.

And my whole thing with like, why do I care about sports?

Why are you on this show?

That's a sports show that's talking entirely now about the rule of law.

It's because...

We can't let our actual system of rules, our government, be so inherently disrespected that it is as impotent as the Congress you serve in has lately been.

It just seems like the opportunity to convince people like you're pro-competition, you're anti-corruption, you're pro not having a robot take your dad's job.
