Good morning. So I had some downtime yesterday and I watched Gangs of New York. It’s a very famous movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel de Louis, and it really highlights the interplay between politics, financial corruption, and sheer brutality.

And in many ways, nothing has really changed even today, even though people may look more refined and more polished.

You know, an issue that I think should unite all Americans is financial transparency. We should know where political candidates are getting their money from.

We should know which foreign countries are funding whom and for what.

Generally, all of these issues are way too opaque for the average American.
