And I thank them for their patriotism, because it was a harder fight. You know, it was a tough fight to do the Affordable Care Act, but In this case, we had to fight discrimination in addition to fighting for resources and the rest. Yes, of course. And you're never always teaching. You're always learning. And we learned a lot from the anti-HIV AIDS community about that outside mobilization.

And I think what they did at that time to help us with the funding for care, prevention, and research, plus trying to end discrimination, Our lesson to others and other diagnoses and all the rest, breast cancer and the rest, we all learned about that from them. And they learned from us about how it would work for us to be successful, and we were.

But on the Affordable Care Act, for example, though— We were on our path. It was a challenging thing because there were those who were anti-government. They don't want a government role. There were those who just were the special interests, the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical companies, the rest of that.

So when we sadly lost Ted Kennedy, when he passed away, the press said to me at the next press conference, well, it's over for you. Because a Republican has been elected in his place, you no longer have 60 votes. So when they said so, that's the end, right? I said, no. We realize that having access to affordable, quality health care... Right. Right.

We're going to succeed, and we will not let anything stand in our way. If there's an obstacle there, we will push open the gate. If that doesn't work, we'll climb the fence. If that doesn't work, we'll pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we will helicopter in. But we're not letting anything stand in the way.

Are you taking your own advice right now? Well, it's very hard. I have to say every morning when I awaken, I think, did that really happen? Yeah. Oh, it did. But I see everything differently. Julia, as an opportunity. Right. It's an opportunity. Now, there are better opportunities, I'll grant you. Right. But nonetheless, it's all an opportunity.

And just as an example, from 2016, right within 36 hours of that election, we formed our initiative to save the Affordable Care Act. This new president-elect has said, Obamacare sucks. Forgive my language, but I'm just quoting. No, I know you're quoting, but also you can say whatever you want to me.

We, again, within 36 hours of this election, this November, initiated our health care to save the Affordable Care Act. It's a health issue, of course. It's a financial health issue, too, for people at their kitchen table to know they're going to be able to afford health care, their prescription drugs, insurance, and the rest of that.

And we will be launching much of it, as we did in 2017, now in 2025. So we will do that again, and it is even more so because Affordable Care Act is even more popular now than it was then.

Despite being attacked by them here, there, and from the right, from the left, and every other place, I had over a quarter of a million votes. And that was a big deal. The most have been in California, but I don't know. And the rest of the country haven't looked. But what I say to people is to know their strengths, to know their power, the power of you, Julia. Know your power. Know your power.

That's the thing. And the power of what you bring to the table. But if you're going to be in this arena, you have to know your why because this is not for the faint of heart. If you want to be running for office or striving for some position in whatever field you're in— If it's a competition for power in any way, you will be a target. Have you always known your power?
