Millions and millions of views, and it all came out of you being targeted by a political rival. Talk about that moment where you not only found your voice, but realized the power that it had.

I love, there are so many nods to your mom in this book and how she brought you up, how she raised you, the values that she instilled in you. And I love the piece of advice that she gave you after that video went viral, after that speech. She gave you great advice about what you were, this is great, but what are you going to do next?

You said you just announced that you're running for U.S. Senate. That's right. The Democratic Party is struggling a bit right now. Don't have a whole lot of power, although I will say watching Senator Booker hold his pee for 24 hours was more inspiring than I ever anticipated. Truly the moment we needed. But if you were in the U.S. Senate right now, what would you be doing?

Yeah. Thank you. So many Democrats are in the position of having to react all the time and say, this is what we're going to stop. This is what we're going to end. And there's there seems to be a lack of vision, a lack of clarity for an actual plan moving forward. So it's good to hear.

It's nice to hear that you are proposing that you're thinking about these things, because I think that is what the Democratic Party needs. The whole back half of your book is essentially a how-to guide for people who might want to not just run for office, but get more involved politically or in their communities.
