And like, if I'm the face, like you could imagine, I just go on there and just get like the steel chair on my head every day. matched

Not gonna be my next job, but, you know, because I'll be in the US Senate. matched

I think there's this platform politics that we've had since the 2020s. matched

And I thought we rejected it because let's not forget, Hassan was invited to stream from the DNC by Vice President Harris in 2024. matched

Let's not forget that. matched

But in campaigning with him, everybody was like, well, how could you possibly? matched

And I was like, did we not learn our lesson that we need to go talk to people who have large audiences, who have felt locked out of the political process for a very long time? matched

And even though he and I might have differences, there are things I disagree with him on. matched

He has an audience of nearly 3 million people who watch him regularly. matched

And I really want to show that audience that there is a way forward where you can stand up for a politics that's more about guaranteeing you healthcare than sending bombs to drop on other people that is willing to stand forthrightly against genocide wherever you see it. matched

And though he and I might disagree on China or cars, and certainly he said some things that I... matched

find deeply distasteful, that does not mean that I should not go and speak to his audience and speak to him. matched

And I think the faster Democrats recognize that, the faster we're going to be on a pathway to actually winning elections. matched

I think it is possible. matched

I think it is not possible the way he's done it. matched

I mean, the thing about Donald Trump is the through line for him, and you've covered him. matched

The through line for Donald Trump is Donald Trump will do whatever gives him attention and adoration in the moment. matched

That's kind of what he is. matched

And on that, he wants money, which gives him attention and adoration. matched

Like, that's the Donald Trump sort of trick. matched
