And so my message to the National Democrats as they look is come South, because if we can change the South, we can change this nation. This has been the blueprint. That's why they came up with a Southern strategy to try and divide and conquer us. But we've only been a Republican super majority since 2010 in Tennessee. This is still relatively new. We can go back. The pendulum can shift.

And let's tell one more truth is that Tennessee is not a red state, but it's a state that ranks 50 in voter turnout, where one in five black people cannot vote because of voter suppression, that has been gerrymandered to oblivion, and that's the only reason they keep power. They're not a powerful majority.

They are a very fragile party that's cheated their way into power, and I think that's a truth that needs to be said.

That's exactly it. And one of the greatest blessings that Cameron Sexton gave me was that after the expulsion, he decided to punish me and took me off Education Committee, took me off Government Operations Committee, and put me on Agriculture Committee. And the Agriculture Committee was supposed to be a punishment because I knew absolutely nothing about agriculture. I live in an urban district.

But it's been the most powerful place to organize rural and urban coalitions that can transform this state. What we as Democrats have to do is that we have to go to territory that is not always comfortable, that is not always familiar to us. When I was put on this committee, one of the first places I went was to Columbia, Tennessee.

The only member of our committee to stand with the folks in Columbia when they're trying to pollute the Duck River, the most biodiverse river in North America, and a river that they were trying to build a landfill on a former Monsanto site, met with cattle farmers. I remember walking in to homes of some cattle farmers on the Duck River where they had Fox News on.

Some folks had Confederate flags there. I said, let me get out of here before it gets dark, but I'm here now. But what I learned is that they had stereotypes about me, and I had stereotypes about them. And I went to that community as a member of the agriculture committee, and the members of the committee were terrified. They're like, you don't represent that district. Why are you going down there?
