Amazing.

Congratulations on your GLAAD award.

That was so fantastic.

Thank you.

You're making the rounds.

Everyone is like, mother, yes, like, everyone's really happy for you.

And specifically, because, you know, you both cut through the bullshit and in life, and you're very real.

And also politically, and I think coming from it, you know, maybe even just being three years in the game is is helpful, because you can see things for what they are.

Yeah.

I did, I did.

And you know, don't really regret my time, but this kind of dovetails with what I've had it with.

So maybe I can open with what I've had it with and that'll explain sort of why I've had it with those two and maybe some people in your audience have as well.

So I've had it with centrists parading around as progressives.

And these can be anyone from Gavin Newsom to Hakeem Jeffries to Nancy Pelosi, but also in the media, Bill Maher,

Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian, these are, in my opinion, opportunistic slugs who, whenever the chance arises, they will say the right things in order to basically break bread with the right, have them on their podcasts, and offer up as sort of a sacrifice portions of the so-called left that people think that they come from, whether that's trans people, whether that's people of color, whether that's immigrants, whether that's unhoused people,

all of the issues that I personally care about as someone who wants to see economic, social, racial justice in this country, they have no problem with.

And they continually get pushed into this category of, oh, they're liberal.

Oh, they're a left.

Oh, they're a progressive.

Gavin Newsom, as if we didn't see him sweeping up homeless encampments from these poor folks who don't have anywhere else to go.
