I've frankly, I've never really understood why people are so hesitant towards her and her candidacy. I can talk about all the weaknesses that she she's had, but, but in California right now, there will be a race, whether she gets where the people are not going to just walk away if she gets in. Yeah.
No.
Yeah, I mean, and I think people don't, you know, what people need in California is a governor who really, really wants to roll up their sleeves and be governor. And for whatever reasons, people just don't believe that yet. Now, she did this speech last week at Emerge in San Francisco and went after Trump and made some news around that. But there's going to have to be a lot more of that.
I mean, I go back to what I said about local, local, local. And it kind of goes to your question about the groups. You know, we don't see these hard pillar groups anymore being as influential as they once were, in part because Americans aren't beholden anymore to any kind of structured, established political regime. They are their own thinkers.
They are in communities living their own troubled lives or struggling or challenging lives. And they want people to be communicating with them on their level. And if I'm advising a president, I'm saying, you know, get local.
No. I don't think there was.
I think that the... The issue that is galvanizing Silicon Valley right now has to do with AI. And at the beginning of the, and Trump himself, who they are enamored by and see themselves in, that anything is possible, nothing is daunting.
The world's going to have some ups and downs and we're just going to get right through it because we have a brilliant business plan and we understand what consumers want. And that's not the Biden administration. That wasn't the Biden administration. Because Biden's not Trump and also because what's driving business right now, the possibilities of enormous wealth are coming from how do you use AI?
And I saw this, you know, in the Clinton-Gore administration when the John Doers of the world were mesmerizing in the possibilities around AI. you know, digital communication and the internet and all of that. So I don't think we could have had it off. You know, maybe we could have paid more attention to it, but the pitch hadn't been thrown yet.
I think it's not going to be a woman. I think we need to have somebody who has a practical record. And I think that there's going to be somebody that we don't know right now who's not an elected official, who's new and a and comes in from the side because people want something new and not political or government related.
