this kind of political martyrdom that, you know, in a metaphorical sense, Thomas Massey has been put in, this actually made him more popular with the younger people.

So, like, his numbers were higher than ever before with young people.

He is maybe the most popular political figure amongst young people in the country right now.

And that's always a powerful thing because, look, it is true that young people don't...

don't show up to vote in as as uh like young people as a broad demographic are less of a reliable voter than boomers are boomers vote they will show up and vote young people get flaky on you but at the same time you're what any like national campaign needs is like

a base of energetic grassroots organizers and activists and that is almost always exclusively young people or overwhelmingly young people because those are the people who have the passion and the time to do something like that whereas older people got like families and mortgages and and it's harder for them to join a political campaign or you know phone bank or knock on doors or do stuff like that or make viral social media content you need young people that that young energy for that and he's gonna have that in spades and

The other thing about Thomas Massey, man,

is that, look, there's a reason why his opponent refused to debate him.

And you know what I mean?

Like, Thomas Massey's good at that.

He's good at explaining things.

He's good at exposing bad guys.

He's good on a microphone.

He's good at doing a podcast.

Like, he's a really good messenger of a lot of these points.

And, yeah, I mean, I just think, like, I'd look at that and think there's enormous potential in...

in a Thomas Massey run.

And I think that, listen, I'm not even saying, like essentially what I said the other day in that clip was that I go, he could win.

He could win this.

But even if he doesn't, this wouldn't be something like a Ron Paul run or a Pat Buchanan run in terms of how big it is.
