All right.

Yes, thank you very much, Adam.

Thanks to everybody for joining us today.

Thanks to Senator Ron Wyden.

I think we're going to have a great conversation.

As Adam was saying a few moments ago, there are a few things happening in the news right now.

You think?

I think, yeah. It's been a little busy, but we should also be very grateful that the senator was able to take

time out of his busy schedule.

It does not get more busy than a voter-rama that goes until five in the morning.

And so you'll have to have a little bit of patience with us as we're getting through all of this.

And as Adam was mentioning a few moments

ago, Senator Wyden has a new book out. I'm going to hold it up right here. It is called,

it is entitled, It Takes Hutzpah, how to fight fearlessly for progressive change. So everybody

needs to check out Senator Wyden's new book, and we're going to be talking about that in conversation.

And if you're a basketball player like me, you might call it Hoops Pa.

There you go. And just a warning to everybody, there will be dad jokes today.

So I'm glad we got that one out of the way. But Senator Wyden, great to talk to to you we've had interactions over the years

but I don't know if we've ever had a chance to have this kind of a conversation

so I'm really looking forward to this I'm gonna be posting this on my substack

later or folks are interested in watching it later but I guess first of all

let's just jump right into it tell us about the. Why is Hutzpah so important right now?
