Our democracy has been hacked.

Large contributors.

Uh, call the shots.

Have you ever thought about running for office again?

I am a I've used this line before, so forgive me, but I am a recovering politician.

So there's just one of them climate.

Yes, but one of them climate, one of them sort of broadly like power politics are different album, they were say 15 years ago.

Citizens United.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

Okay.

And then some 2016 stuff.

Okay, I'm not gonna you can decline.

I know you're not going to commit news.

Yes, but I'll try to get you to we'll talk about climate.

Yeah, yeah, I got to feed the beast, Mr.

Since when did the United States abandoned its traditional world leadership role, especially at a time when just this past week, the president of china says, okay, we're going to adopt a cap and trade program and we're reducing our CO two emissions and we want to create jobs in solar and wind and efficiency.

This is the most serious global challenge we've ever faced.

Northern country can play the role that the US can play.
