I think you and Jillian asked smart questions and made it not only entertaining, but informative. i knew nothing about Congressman Frost before this, but this helped to fill me in on some key bits of information.

      From my point of view is that Jillian is a political scientist and her partner is game content creator so there is basically no incentive to do a interview to shot down someone's leg. Her questions is genuinely good and kinda bipartisan unlike media who clearly heavily side to whoever they payed to.
