No, this is what we're doing, and we're going to move on now.

And I just really adore that level of strength.

Yes, yes.

But more importantly, OK, just bear with me as I explain this.

And I just want people to understand I am not coming from a bad place.

I'm just trying to explain why in the last general election, if you look at various blue districts, higher and higher percentages of people who are lifelong Democrats ended up flipping sides and voting Republican.

This is why.

On a local level, what people experience really does matter, right?

Because it gives them a sense of what leadership looks like on a national level.

So I think a lot of people turned away from the Democratic Party in the last election, because if you look at some of these metropolitan areas, these cities,

they have not been you know governed well by local democrats and i'm not making that up i'll give you a specific example in the case of los angeles we have the largest homeless population of any other part of this country right these people

need to get off the streets.

They need to be placed either in the appropriate facilities, by the way.

Some people, housing is the answer.

Other people, they need more help.

They might have severe mental health issues.

They might have severe drug addiction issues.

You have to cater to what is causing homelessness for these specific people, right?

That's the point I want to make.

Well, under the leadership of Karen Bass, who's, by the way, now under a federal audit and it started under the Biden administration, this is not a politically motivated thing.
