I'm not walking in and being like, this is what... No, I don't run with that. I run with the fact that I am the best person for you to hire to build your business because I'm qualified in these areas and my team is qualified. The whole thing about running on diversity, there should be diversity because diversity of opinion.
There should be diversity because we all bring different things to the table in terms of intellect or experience. But diversity of skin color... What are we doing here? And then this whole thing about like... When I came out and said, hey, I'm like, you know, I'm supporting Trump. I'm supporting Bobby Kennedy. I'm supporting people like Tulsi.

And then this whole thing about like... When I came out and said, hey, I'm like, you know, I'm supporting Trump. I'm supporting Bobby Kennedy. I'm supporting people like Tulsi.
And they were like, well, Trump is a bigot and a misogynist. I'm like, well, if you go on that route, he's he's brought in more women to positions of power. I may not agree with every single person he's appointed, but we'll talk about that. He's also like trying to they just came out that Kash Patel, head of the FBI. I'm in Pakistani. He's Indian.

So I'm like, on what card are you guys like doing all of this on? You know, so. It's too much of this like race first when it should be American first. Like you get qualified and hired, Christian, Jewish, atheist, whatever you are, it does not matter. You should get hired to a position because you have the merit to do it.

person yeah yeah that's it I don't go around at least not the way I work it's like oh you're so and so I want to bring you in I bring you in because you have merit and you're good at what doesn't matter to me what race religion or whatever you are and then people come at me they're like you're privileged I was like how the hell am I privileged I came to this country 10 years ago I knew two people in America at the time like three people maybe spread out but in Miami I knew like practically nobody I'd like two friends down here

My entire career is self-made. It's self-built. Obviously, I don't say self because obviously people have helped me along the way with friends and people like colleagues. But I'm self-made to some extent, right? Like to pretty much all extent. My career was not handed to me. And I never had a problem, you know, being a minority, a Muslim, a woman. That was just never an issue on the table.

And so I kind of think people are their own worst enemies and people get into their own head. And You know, kind of create this self vilifying like narrative about like we are the victim. We're the victim versus being like, I'm incredible. I have a great opportunity here because I am different. Right. I bring a different perspective to the table. And that's actually going to be my superpower.

If you tell me somebody like Tulsi Gabbard was running hands down, most people would vote for her.

She's incredible. She's a colonel at the army. Like you would vote for Tulsi hands down. Why? Not because she's a woman, but she's fit to rule, like run the country and actually position of like, running the country in a way that we'd all be proud of, right? I don't think Kamala lost because, oh, she's a woman. She lost because she's inadequate to do the job.

Also, it was like, what did she do as vice president for four years? Nothing. Nothing. So then why do we think she's qualified to run a country?
