Well, look, it's very clear that there are individuals who have an agenda and they're going to pursue that and it's going to take us to make sure that people are following the law and we're using our own voices and our own power. You're not giving me an inch on this. Well, look, I mean, do I like what he says about the CFPB?

No, but I don't think we should be saying, you know, he may have his own motives for this, but it's up to us to make sure that we can rein that power in, not ask them to just be nice.

Well, look at people all across our government. There are people who specialize in certain roles. Some of them prosecute terrorism. You can't really do that in the private sector. There are just some things that are done for the public's sake. And I think that this is a moment where it's really hard to tell them what they should do. because they have to really live their life.

And I always encourage them to serve as long as you possibly can. But look, this is a real moment for everybody who is trying to serve the public. I think that it forces all of us to reflect on how do we talk about those who serve the public. I can tell you a lot of people who work at the CFPB can make a lot more money if they were in the private sector.

And many of them choose to do that work because they believe that people shouldn't be treated poorly by a bank or a mortgage company or a student lender because it's about people's personal dignity and they believe it so deeply.

I... Sometimes in this business, there will be CEOs that threaten you, that hire people to follow you, and it's pretty damn scary, but we just gotta keep going because we know that these individuals clearly feel that the law doesn't apply to them and that their answer when we ask questions is to tell people that, or to fundamentally threaten their lives. And I think it's pretty disgusting.

Actually, exactly the opposite. We put into place policies to block that and the bank lobby sued us for it.

Well, it's really what the public says and does and calls their members about what they... Protest. We need everyone's voices. And I, you know, John, I think a lot of people, including many people who probably listen, they probably feel pretty fatigued. They feel beat down. They feel like this is such a chaotic moment and they just need a break. And I understand that. I know how that can feel.

But I also feel like it's so important to remember why we love this place, this country. And part of it is because we can fight back and really make sure that we do not lose the things that are so important. And I just think that's really important to remember, even when times are really tough.

Well, even if it is, I think that I'm not going to dignify any individual billionaire and what they want to dictate about our country. Because the whole game... of why this country is better is because we're not supposed to allow that to happen. We fought hard for one person to have one vote. We fought hard to make sure that we weren't being controlled by royalty.

And that's maybe some of those lessons applied today too. Rohit Chopra, thank you so much for your time. Thanks so much, John.
