The Daily show with Jon Stewart was really fun. He got really excited. I feel very personally proud. He came in before and told me this. Then he said it on air that he Jon Stewart used to be in favor of keeping the filibuster, and the book convinced him to realize that it needs to go. So I feel, if nothing else, amazing, a critical person that we need to make some change. (01:59–02:04)
