Hey, everybody, time for another left, right, and center.

I'm David Green.

Sarah Isker is here on the right.

Moa Lathie is here on the left.

And, you know, this is my question that I want to use to get us started today.

If we think about our politics and the word power, what does that bring up for both of you?

I mean, you know, my pet thing on this is the real

question that all politics is about is who gets to decide. So many of our fights, we pretend

that it's about some underlying policy good or bad, when in fact, what self-government means is

not that we as the people get to decide what is good or bad,

but rather who has the power to decide what's good or bad.

And I wish we spent a lot more time talking about that power instead of the underlying, you know,

goodness or badness of X, Y, or Z.

Yeah, I think people oftentimes use the words power and strength interchangeably.

Yeah.

And I think they're two very different things.

I think Sarah's right that so much of politics is about who gets to make decisions and who has the power to make

decisions. But I think oftentimes, when we're seeing this play out in real time right now,

voters respond or some political figures believe voters respond less to power and more to

strength, or at least the perception of strength.

And sometimes that line gets a little blurry.

I mean, I don't think there's any doubt that we've seen a display of power and strength
