So I think that's the model is go find these leaders who are now state senators, who are now like Summer Lee, who's from Pennsylvania, is a great example. She won a moderate district. I don't know if she's a socialist, but she's a democratic socialist. She's a progressive black woman, had to defeat AIPAC money to win her Congress seat.

Latifah Simon, where I'm from, just took over Barbara Lee's seat. Our dynamic leaders who are now in the Congress, go find, Go find those dynamic leaders and start to prepare the way for them.

And I think that right now, I would say the Democrat Party should be like the NBA in Africa in the 80s. Just go look for tall guys. Yeah. Just go look for like, just go. And I think that if they go, if they were to focus on that, I would be, Hakeem Jeffries can do whatever he wants to do, Chuck Schumer, but you really need to go invest in new talent. Yeah.

And I think right now they're sort of like, when they say things like we don't have leverage, it's like you're trying to hold on to your position.

Yeah. So I think that like until we can like get money out of politics, which is a big thing, the Democratic Party is only to be taken seriously if they understand like we need new blood.

they didn't just sort of like explode out of nowhere. They were like, that's the guy. He's young. He's charismatic. You know, Malcolm X was in prison and came out of prison and started giving speeches like, wait a minute, that guy talks really good. Like, you have to go find these people. And then when you find them, you have to turn the power over to them instead of just using it.

So I think at least AOC is actually demanding her turn. And I feel like I take her more seriously that way. And like I said, I think that like, I don't know that America's ready for a woman of color president. Like I'm not saying that we like should, a little bit I feel like, okay, find the best looking square jawed white guy available. And that's why I sort of have given up on America.

But I think you're not gonna find that person unless you let that person, you're not gonna, you have to go find that person.

I think that if we think this country is eventually going to settle back to some sense of like, all right, that was a crazy period. Now we're back to regular. I think that's naive. I think without actually fighting, scrapping, clawing,

figuring out, like, being invested in the solution, it's naive to think that America's gonna, like, settle in to, like... You know, Trump already has gone faster than even some Republicans expected. Yeah. Have you seen all these meetings where Republicans are showing up in their district? Yeah, they're mad. Talk about, Doge is doing... Stop yelling! You know what I mean?

Like, so, he's already, like, upsetting the apple cart so much that it's, like, that Republicans can't keep up with it. And I think that there's clearly gonna be more of that. And I think that we are naive to think that America sort of naturally pulls towards justice... I think America has been pushed towards justice.
