So there are whole processes that they're all going to follow to the letter because they're actually, I mean, Michael Lewis, his whole thing is, let's take something you think is boring and make it interesting.

And the National Archives is completely, you know, nonpartisan and just follows the law. But because, I mean, the interesting thing is, if you, like one of the strains of American thought that goes into whatever this madness we're in right now with firing the federal workforce is suspicion of the government, right?

Like, NARA's function since Watergate and since the Freedom of Information Act is to provide us the access to our own records so that the government is held accountable. So if you're suspicious of the government, which all of these, you know, government efficiency people seem to be, NARA is the place to go to confirm your suspicions.

And the other thing is, I had this list of documents I wanted to see, partly because I'm a history nerd and I was like, hey, can you guys show me the Louisiana Purchase? Because I wanted to see it. And because Pamela Wright was born within its borders. And that was kind of the moment when America becomes way too big to govern. And her mission was to shrink down that distance.

But when I looked at my list, it was a pretty liberal list. And so I asked a Republican ex-governor of Montana to like, what should I ask to see? Because my list was so liberal. And he gave me a bunch of Nixon stuff, like the bright side of Nixon. And it's incredible. Like I saw the Clean Air Act that Nixon signed. And, you know, that doesn't really conform to

How I think of Nixon and like so much of the archives is the Nixon tapes and his worst impulses. But the Clean Air Act has saved tens of thousands of lives. So like the other thing about the National Archives is it tells the full story, even the ones we don't want to know or think about.

I would love the one that Michael Lewis just told you about, where he just like doesn't work too hard or overthinks things. Because I like working with him. Or you can succeed without trying.
