When was the last time you were in DC?

I'm here now.

I mean, I'm sitting here now and...

When I talked to Tom Davis, he had just had a diet coke for breakfast.

I feel like you can hear it in his voice.

That jangly energy.

And I was up on the house on opening day.

I was but went over to a state over on the Republican side for a good chunk of it and went

over to the Democratic side just to talk to people watching the roll call.

Tom Davis is an old Washington hand.

He was in Congress for over a decade, a Republican representing Northern Virginia.

I still have four privileges.

I'm not lobbying.

And I just had to go up to four.

It's an exciting day.

You had a lot of new members coming in and it was just an exciting place to be.

I remember my first day in Congress in 1995.

And for a lot of these young Democrats, they've taken back the house.

There's that excitement.

I mean, you can't beat it outside of maybe a World Series game.

So it's exciting for you even when the other side wins?

Oh, yeah, I mean, again, I mean, it's the longer you leave this, you're not a partisan anymore.
