He's a constitutional lawyer and he is very transparent in any meetings and all he has done in Congress so far. This is very unlike Kevin McCarthy who met privately with Nancy and said he'd do their deal while she said she would protect him for getting in trouble for it and then she didn't. Your friend may be a Democrat but going behind closed doors with anybody for a deal is not what the speaker is supposed to be doing. That is why they ousted him!

He was dumb enough to make a deal with a snake. Not smart enough or honest enough to ever be speaker or third in line in the United States.
