And so for me, that's where the, you know, it's sort of, I always feel like it's like a flip on Kendrick Lamar's way of saying it is, they're not like us.

My way of saying it is, who's with me?

It's a Kyler Gentler way of saying, they're not like us.

And so, and I know that for my CNN train, like the work, the work I did on CNN, I got a lot of people who are with me who don't look like me.

A lot of older white conservative folks who just liked the way I said stuff and came to realize some things they never thought about before.

And then because I've done podcasting things, I got a lot of younger folks with me, a lot of black and Brown activists who have been inspired by my work.

And I'm just trying to, I feel like this is just me trying to build the coalition as, as Martin Luther King jr.

Did towards the end of his life that he did, that he, I guess I was gonna say he didn't know he knew.

Where it's like, it's more than about black and white.

It's about race.

It's about class.

It's about...

uh, the entire, the United States affects on the entire world.

And so for me, then it became time to like, I got back into standup and I very quickly was like, Oh, I'm still asking who's with me.

This is all connected.

This is especially cause I started the sub stack before Trump, but once Trump was in office, it was like, Oh, it's still, it's definitely who's with me now because I think before we can figure out what we do, we got to figure out who's on our side.

And right now in LA, uh,

People are in the streets standing up to fascism, literally looking around and going, oh, these are all the people who are with me.

And it's not just Latinos.

It's not just poor folks.
