Speaker discusses accountability measures in Congress (Part 3)

Passing legislation that prevents someone in the highest office from making money while they're in office. What specifically does real accountability. No, I appreciate the question, the chance to go further on this. When our founders in Philadelphia 250 years ago set up, declared our independence from a king, and then a decade later set up the scaffolding of our new nation, one of the things that Franklin and Madison in particular were deeply concerned about is that we wouldn't have enough guardrails in place. And thus it would lead us to having yet another tyrant lead this nation. But there was an assumption amongst the Founders that these would be not angels, as Madison said, but good men who would be bound by guardrails that would ensure their interest would be in the interests of the American people, even where there would be disagreements. Two and a half centuries later, we are now faced with really the first President, I believe, whose focus is not on the American people, but on enriching himself. That worry of our Founders combined with the decision of the Supreme Court leads me to believe that this Congress needs to pass a number of anti corruption measures and let's see if the President vetoes them. First and foremost. This is pretty low hanging fruit. You can't do insider trading, right President? I mean the members of Congress have done that pretty extensively. The President I think on the chart I saw did 2x the amount of the entire member membership of the Congress. That's a basic thing. Stop insider trading, stop stock trading. Based on the private information that members of Congress and the President get. I think we need to look at other measures as well. But I would say legislatively we can no longer lean on the assumption that our Founders had, that these would be good men focused on doing things in the interest of the American people. Instead, we've now got to legislate it two and a half centuries later. All right, let's talk about your fellow Pennsylvania Democrat. Now. Senator John Fetterman, who has broken with the Democratic Party at various moments, have been critical of the Democratic Party as well. Now that Democrats have a comfortable majority in the Senate, do you believe that Senator John Fetterman still belongs in the Democratic Party? I mean, look, I have no idea what John is going to do.
