Just really quick, I want to think back to Alyssa, then we'll talk about the news.
But this was, I should have said this at the start.
The archetype I was talking about, the archetype I needed, was somebody that went in and left.
Because all of the other people that I had talked to or talked about, some of them refused to talk to me, hi, Elise Stefanik, who I had worked with, all of them stayed.
All of them reluctantly went in and then stayed and even got enthusiastic in some cases.
Alyssa was the one that was reluctant to go in and then left.
it demonstrates that she had a deep caring inside her about something.
And that maybe you can compartmentalize, you can rationalize, you can justify for all the ways.
But if in your heart, if somewhere inside there's this thing that is saying to you, no, I need to do the right thing.
I want to make sure that my kid and my grandkid looks at me and says, okay, well, they weren't perfect, but when the chips were down, they did the right thing.
Um, that's an important trait, like trying to figure out how to find that trait.
Like you would rather have people that have that trait than the other.

Then where are we?
What are we doing now?
Do we have our country at all?
Like, do we have a democracy at all?
Like, how many people died that day at the Capitol?
I mean, just who knows that kind of actual.
