It's all sorts of types of people who are in your coalition.
So that's where that comes from.
Kamau, your side on that one.
I mean, mostly, as you saw, I was dancing while he was talking.
I was like, yes, yes, yes.
So the part that I really started excited about was when you talk about LBJ and Kennedy weren't just born into wanting to be on the right side of history.
I mean, let's be clear.
Especially the Kennedys, they were a couple generations away from being bootleggers.
You know what I mean?
Like, they were...
you know, a lot of this is like these politicians putting their fingers in the air and seeing which way the wind is blowing.
And right now I'm in the middle of a lot of online back and forth, uh,
with people because there's a lot of excitement in some parts of California about Gavin Newsom basically standing up to Trump and putting out some videos saying, hey, if you want to treat California this way, we're going to stop paying into this American system since we're the fourth largest economy in the world.
If we just stop paying into the system, the country falls, the country collapses.
And a lot of people got excited.
And I think that's great.
But I'm also don't talk about it, be about it.
And
And I was sort of seeing some Californians who I know be like, we got to be careful with Newsom because he's not always on our side.
He's not always clearly on our side.
