We could finally have term limits and change the country in a fundamental way. We are close to being able to run Constitutional Amendments unopposed. But who has Trump already started to surround himself with – outsiders? Everyone around him is an insider.

We have the opportunity right now to start on the path of a balanced budget amendment. We could enforce term limits, because the founders wanted a citizen’s legislature, not one that provided a lifetime career. We could put in place the “fair tax.” We’re so close to being able to put these things in place.

We need to be consistent and we need to be hard on the Republicans in charge and hold them to the things that they promised us.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
