Democracy Now! speaks with Daniel Hernandez, the 20-year-old intern for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords who has been credited with likely saving Giffords' life immediately after the shooting. "I think a lot of people are realizing the political discourse has, for years, become completely destructive and more about tearing the other people apart instead of trying to work together to build up a nation and the state," Hernandez says.

1. What an excellent young man.

Encouraging.

2. I see a spark of hope in an young man like that, and I think he's not alone

in being a rational, rather well educated college student with a commitment to working to improve the lot of fellow Americans.

I really really really hope he represents the majority of 20 year olds in America today.
