If you think talking about finances in general is hard, try talking to your parents about money.

What you don't want to do is like, do you have any money, what's going on?

You don't want to come at them in a more adversarial way.

Or, as I said, you don't want to come out like you're now the parent.

What to do about the ups and downs of your 401k?

If you or someone you care about plans to retire soon, that's on the next explain it to me.

Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm very excited to have Congressman Tom Swazi with us today. He represents New York's third congressional district and is known for walking the bipartisan tightrope, something we don't see a lot these days and that we need much more of. He's been vocal about finding common ground with Republicans during Trump's new administration, even suggesting that Democrats

dial back some of the resistance to Trump's policies to work towards what he calls true democracy.

Tom, you've made headlines recently, not just for your takes on bipartisanship, but for some

controversial stances, like your vote against letting transgender athletes participate in girls'

high school sports and your willingness to collaborate with Trump on border control. So let's dive right in. Thank you so much for joining us.

I want to start with the basics. You're in Washington, front row seat to all of this.

What has stuck out to you so far? And what do you feel is different from Trump 1.0? Well, Trump is different

in that he's got a lot more experience. And he's really set himself up to hit the ground running.

And I really think that he was surprised when he won the first time and surrounded himself with

weren't we all. He surrounded himself with people that the first time, I think, that were seen as being,

you know, Washington experts and people have been around, but they weren't necessarily his

teen per se.

And now he's got a lot more people around him that are just totally pro-Trump,

which is a little scary in a way,

and that are going to go along with him.
