Why Americans Don't Trust Politicians
00:00:00.000 | Let's have term limits for Members of Congress and Senators.
00:00:03.080 | Let's not have any corporate PAC money or any PAC money, any lobbyists.
00:00:08.640 | Let's have term limits for Supreme Court justices.
00:00:10.760 | Let's ban stock trading and also ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists.
00:00:15.180 | This was common sense things.
00:00:17.180 | And I think people are so starved for restoring trust.
00:00:20.220 | Now, here is the honest truth in my view.
00:00:22.940 | Most Members of Congress, of the 435, at least 300 to 350 have good motives going in.
00:00:27.860 | They want to do the right thing, they may disagree.
00:00:30.160 | But we're in a situation where we have lost the trust of the American people.
00:00:34.320 | Most Americans think Members of Congress are lying, they think they're corrupt, they think
00:00:38.780 | they're self-serving.
00:00:39.780 | I don't care that we have good intentions.
00:00:41.620 | That's the perception.
00:00:42.900 | We've got to take some bold steps to clean up the system so we can do these big projects
00:00:47.860 | of rebuilding the country.
