b'It\\u2019s hard not to be cynical about American politics and the American experiment with all that\\u2019s going on, but the truth of the matter is we have tremendous leadership right now. The country is doing extremely well. Legislation that became law over the past two years is set to become tangible reality in the next two. Yes, we are looking at an increasingly undemocratic Republican Party who can\\u2019t even compromise with itself long enough to get their speaker elected, but we\\u2019re also looking at competent, fresh new leadership to counter them, along with new factories, new jobs, new infrastructure. We\\u2019re looking at lower drug prices and major corporations paying taxes for the first time. We\\u2019re going to have universal broadband for all our citizens, gun legislation and climate protections. Yes, it\\u2019ll be an uphill battle to fight back these authoritarian extremists, especially since they now have power, but that\\u2019s just hard, not impossible, and with the right leadership and the right attitude, I think we got this.\\xa0\\n\\nGuest social:\\nWebsite: https://www.whitehouse.gov/\\nTwitter: @PressSec\\n\\nPlease RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!\\n\\xa0\\nAll show links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl\\n\\xa0\\nThank you to today\\u2019s sponsors!\\nwww.athleticgreens.com/PoliticsGirl\\nwww.thrivecausemetics.com/politicsgirl'
