And you get the sense they come in and say, what is it that we all have agreed to do here?

Okay, we'll just do what we've all agreed to do.

Yes, 100%.

um i don't understand what they're up to you know um i'll just start name names gavin newsom obviously he's built the strongest small dollar fundraising network i mean if you if you start not only with the polls of him building his traction support off of trump i mean in many ways he's kind of become the clearest you know you almost we have the visual in our head the finger point right at trump right off the tarmac you're like right that's what he's the tds guy yeah right

He's built it and he's cultivated, I think what he has done more effectively than anybody so far is he's translated that into an actual political apparatus.

So as he delivers endorsements- Do you know any policy proposal he's offering?

I don't think he's really, I mean, he's obviously doing the podcast circuit.

He's all tactics.

Well, by the way on that, right, he's stuck in the morass of wealth tax.

Well, wealth tax is probably one of the biggest fights of our age right now.

To the point, one of the biggest issues facing the American public.

If I go out anywhere to any town hall, I don't care, put a bunch of bag of people in front of me.

And I talk about taxing the rich.

I guarantee you, I got a hell of a lot of support.

And here he is in California, basically opposing Welltex and not figuring out exactly what- So he's probably eliminating himself from Democratic Party contention and he doesn't fully realize it yet.

We'll see how it plays out, but I imagine he's not where the public is right now.

AI too, by the way, data centers, also on the wrong side of that one.

But not only him, I mean, Shapiro, Whitmer, a lot of the governors have been stuck in these wrong, I think, wrong positions on cozying up to big tech oligarchs on data centers.

Rahm Emanuel.

You know, and I was talking before about the sense that you have to just politic better.
