I'm Brian Tetta, executive producer of The View.

It's Monday, and I've got Alyssa Farah Griffin. This is behind the table.

Hello, Alyssa. Hello, Brian. It's, you were off last week from the podcast. Happy to have you back.

I know. I know. I missed it. All right. Well, we missed you, too. It's Monday. We had a great show today.

We had Senator John Federman on.

And he's been on a bunch of times. He's not often in the first time he sat at the table with them.

Second. But I love, it's so much better to have him in person. Of course. It's just you get, you connect with him more. It's just, it's a better conversation. I hate remotes if we can avoid them. Well, what were your takeaways from our time with him? So I've said it before.

I was wrong about Federman because I originally, I was critical of him.

I didn't like that he didn't dress up in the Senate.

I wasn't sure who he was going to be.

And I think he is so common sense.

He's middle of the road. He's still a Democrat on the court issues. But I like that he doesn't seem to start with like, this is the party's position. So therefore I'm there. It's more what is common sense. And for the voters who elected me in Pennsylvania, because he's just as much a senator for the Republicans who didn't vote for him as he is for the Democrats. So I enjoy his takes and his open mind on things.

Even something I hadn't heard him say before is that he didn't actually agree with the Trump conviction in the civil fraud case in New York, which I thought was interesting.

I hadn't heard him say that publicly.

One of the things that Federman said he was going to do is kind of pick his battles with Trump
