The federal government has gotten so much more powerful, which I think is a mistake because what it does is it makes. Back to the original question. It makes us more polarizing when we think that one size fits all. California should be very different than New Mexico, New Mexico should be very different than Utah. And if we allowed that to happen, I think there would be less hatred amongst Republicans and Democrats. But it's not happening. Whoever's the president gets to make all of these decisions that impact all of us. (29:34–29:40)
