There's a lot of work to be done here. There's a lot of people waking up. I would even argue that a reckoning is coming in the American public.

Yes, yes. I don't have a preference whatsoever. I don't. You know, I saw Cornel West on CNN. I don't think, you know, I don't know if he's going to go far with his campaign. Cornel West is running with the Green Party, and I don't think he's going to achieve much success, but I saw him on CNN berating Anderson Cooper, and I enjoyed that very much.
