That's right, that's right, that'sright. So Harp, I'm gonna get
right into it with segment one here. Man, So you was in Florida

(01:12):
for what exactly? Why were youin Florida. I was in Florida for
sea pack that I did not realizewas such a huge deal until I got
there. So call me naive,but I had no idea a seapack was
as big as it was. Butit was great. I had a great
time and I can't wait to talkabout it and fill you in. Because

(01:34):
because my co host, the greatColin Jackson, decided he wanted to stay
in Cleveland in the cold, Sothank you for that. Colin. Let
me go ahead and have free reignfor the NAP and represent for the NAP
in Florida. What can I sayin the great words A machine gun,
Kelly, it's the land till Idie, clle till I die. It's

(01:57):
hard to get me out of here. But no, man, tell me
about seapack. Tell me tell methe highest sea pack, and tell me
what your lowest sea pack was.I know you was out there with the
family, but more about the actualuh sepack, you know kind of sessions
and things of that nature. Man, this is it was. So I'm
gonna be honest because I wasn't becauseI went in with no expectations. Again
my ignorance. When I got there, it was great all of it,

(02:21):
Like, I was just happy toit was. It was a lot of
people. I had a lot ofgreat conversations. Um. I even had
spoke about it on with With withKia. The auntie Kara Davis was there
and she was great. Yeah,and then and the whole FCB network was
family was there except Colin of course, and we so we got a chance
to kick it. So that wascool some of the sessions. It's funny

(02:42):
because when I didn't, I've neverseen so many Karens in one place.
They were, and they were sothey were so comfortable around each other that
the conversations were like we're like itwas extremely interesting, Like I not offensive,
but like extremely interesting. Like whenyou hear people that were actually in

(03:04):
those school board meetings standing up talkingabout critical race theory and all those type
of things, and then see himin person and they still feel how they
felt that night, like they stillgot that same sort of passion. It
was cool. And then I gotto see forty five speak and listen,
that is a cult. Forty fivehas a cult behind them, and I

(03:27):
don't care what anybody else says.I don't I don't know if that's the
politically correct term. But I watchedpeople wait five hours in line to get
in the building just to wait forhim another five hours to come on stage
for forty five minutes. No,I would definitely say that President Trump definitely
has a following of people who aredefinitely dedicated to him and what his agenda

(03:53):
is I would I would like toknow, though, And you talk about
the people black spack, I alwaysthink that's really interesting, right, Um.
You see Republicans on television all thetime on different news outlets, and
they're always really mean and angry anduh sometimes you know, you look at
those images and even me, Ifeel like those are people that I would

(04:15):
not be comfortable around. Can youkind of tell me what the overall field
was where people welcome me? Imean, you're also, um, a
black, a young black man inc Pack? What was that overall feeling
like? And I was full youngblack man at c Pack? I was
full air force ones picking my hairlike tarp was walking around like a correspondent

(04:40):
from the Daily Bond. Though itwas not okay, listen, it was
okay. It was great. Itwas great because you had everybody in so
the reason how they I felt,I felt like extremely comfortable, and it
was only about I don't know,say hundred hundred and fifty black people there.
I don't know, It's probably more, but I'm just look looked like
one hundred fifty out of four thousand. But the reason I was actually so

(05:01):
extremely comfortable is because, like youcould really have a conversation, Like I
had a conversation with two black womenfrom that were in their seventies from Harrisburg
in the Starbucks line. That wasintriguing. And then I had another conversation
with a young Republican out of Vermontwho was in a suit or three piece

(05:23):
suit and maga hat and everything else. And then I had a conversation with
a lady in a star spangled banner, red white and blue corset with a
cowboy hat on. And all ofthem were intriguing to hear the perspectives,
to hear just to hear the whatgoes into people's opinion. So sometimes you

(05:45):
get so wrapped up and what theopinion is that because you don't really get
to dig deep into how you reachthat opinion or how you got to that
point and to that point, likethe black women I spoke with, and
I and I always bring them upbecause it was such an It was such
a revelation to really just be sittingsitting there and talking to them. And
they're from deep South Alabama, likemy mother's from deep South Alabama, and

(06:10):
so to see how their journey mentally, how their journey got them to think
conservative and kind of be on theRepublican side. And then you see,
like I said, the gentleman fromVermont who was clearly born Republican. Now
everybody I'm talking to was black.I tried to talk to every black person
I could because there was so fewof them. But the gentleman I talked

(06:30):
to from Vermont, he was bornand raised Republicans, so his journey to
get to this conservative mindset was completelydifferent. So to see what goes into
people's thoughts, man, it wasgreat. And I don't want to say
I open it because I don't wantto seem that dramatic, but it was.
It was good because I know howI get to my conclusions and my
reason and my line of thinking.So it was good to hear and talk

(06:51):
to people that kind of have thesame overall opinions and views and then to
see what actually led them to thoseopinions and views. So it was great.
The best part, though, I'mgonna tell you what the best part
was, media credentials. Media credentialswas, and i'm gonna tell you why.
I'm gonna explaining why. It wasn'tjust the fact of media credentials,

(07:14):
but it gave me access to alot of the sessions, so I could
hear even more different perspectives on differentother hot topic or the buzz topics.
And I even got a chance tosit in with shout out Congressman Donald's for
out of Florida, but I gota chance to sit down with him at
the Young Jewish Conservative luncheon. Andit was again because their reasoning for being

(07:42):
conservative or having conservative mindsets completely differentfrom a black man. Not completely different,
I'm not gonna say completely different,but it is somewhat slightly different because
their background and everything else that goesinto their culture, it goes into their
day to day lives, is goingto bring them to certain outcomes and conclusions.
So it was even nice to beable to be there and just kind

(08:03):
of walk in and hear these sessionsand hear these different conversations from these different
groups of people that I would haveno other reason to be at a young
Jewish Conservative luncheon if had it notbeen you know, because I was part
of the media and I had opportunityto cover it. So no, it
was fantastic. Man, you missedout and and I got a chance to
talk to the Korean newspaper that Ididn't even know existed. So that was

(08:24):
great. That was awesome. Thatwas awesome. No, I just really
think that s packs again, andI'm glad you got to see those things
and get in those conversations. It'sa great opportunity to speak with other people,
like you said, who may havethe same conclusions as you, but
have different walks of life. Youknow, I know this isn't this to

(08:48):
be true across all politics. Youknow, not a lot of black people
make their way to these political conferences, and actually these confidences are kind of
where the ideas that make it upto the leadership kind of start those grass
its movements, so that participation isextremely extremely important for people participating in the
process. You know, it surprisedme. I'm gonna be honest with what

(09:09):
I was surprised because I don't thinkI had a great experience, so I
didn't I don't really have a badthing to talk about. But what surprised
me was just simply when you starthaving those like so, when you start
having a conversation with somebody, right, because again some part of seapacks networking
and a big part of it.Yeah so so part of seapacking network.

(09:31):
So when you start to have theseconversations, I started finding people that have
been like canceled or a quote unquotecanceled. Oh yeah, and it was
it was you know, you hearabout it. But I don't know anybody
presently. We always joke about,you know, I'm gonna get a show
canceled, but yeah, yeah,anybody personally that actually got canceled. But
I met a gentleman who was doinga documentary on and we and we may

(09:54):
interview him later on once the documentarygets done. But doing a documentary or
January sixth, thank you, Yeah, you can't know. I'm surprised they
even let podcasts go out. Let'ssay the words January sixth anymore. Very
true. So that day, soI'm gonna start calling it that day,
call it that day. Yeah.So he's doing a documentary on that day.

(10:15):
And it's so funny because he waslike, man, I had five
thousand Twitter followers. It wasn't evenlike I had like I like, I
just literally was just doing a documentarythat was it wasn't painting a favorable like,
but it was pointing out some ofthe inconsistencies in way that people are
getting sentenced, the way people arekind of getting like like isolated, those

(10:37):
type of things of that participated inthat day and who they were making to
be the leaders and that type ofsaying. And I got an opportunity to
speak with people that were there,so it was like it was like it
was like, oh man, theyreally canceling people over their political views.
No, I'm trying to figure outa way to say this. Um yeah,

(11:05):
I'm trying to be very careful.We have to in this world of
so many ideas and the diversity ofideas, I think it's just as important
as any other diversity we have inour culture. If we're gonna have diversity
of ideas, we have to agreewhere that diversity of ideas is allowed to
exist. And I think right nowwhat we're seeing if there are certain places

(11:28):
is where that diversity of ideas isnot allowed, and in certain arenas,
particularly in media, uh in inin in social platform to think of that
nature, it seems like that thoseideas aren't allowed to exist for the purpose

(11:48):
of those platforms. Then telling youwho those people are, and what I
mean by that is, you knowthose people you talk to as Sepack,
you know, the elderly ladies,the guy from Vermont, even the guy
you're talking about was January six,you know, or that day I should
say that, Jake, that's thatday with that day, you know.

(12:09):
I feel like there's a power thatwould like to tell their story for them,
but would also very much dislike themhaving their own voice to say,
no, it's not perfect, it'snot the best thing, but it's the
truth, right, this is it'sjust my truth. And I don't think
there's a space for that um insome of these spaces. I think Sea

(12:31):
Package is one of those last kindof refugees for that kind of thought.
And that's why I think too manypeople go every year. Yeah, And
that's the thing, because it's notso much that everybody's like minded, because
because when I when I when Igot back to Cleveland, people are like,
oh, you just around a bunchof like minded people. It's like,
no, everybody's not like minded,but it's the it's the open and

(12:54):
being welcome to the conversation because alot of times you're in especially when you
have conservative mindset, conservative thoughts,people aren't welcoming to the conversation. They
did brush off the conversations entirely.I talked to people that Seepack, European
and Black, and I didn't agreewith everybody in every thought process, like
I say, critically. I talkedto a lady from Critical that had a

(13:16):
problem with critical race theory, soyou know, I didn't We clearly don't
agree, but it was a welcomingconversation. It was an open conversation and
it was like, Okay, wellwe don't agree, but that's fine.
And you don't necessarily get that everywherebecause of a conservative mindset. All conservatives
aren't built the same. All Republicansaren't build the same, just like all
liberals or Democrats aren't built the sameand they all think the same. So

(13:37):
it was nice to have that kindof space and anna to have those conversations
openly and feel a little bit morecomfortable or have other people feel comfortable having
those conversations as well. That's awesome. Man, I'm actually really upset I
missed that, but Colin had tostay here and work, got a way
and to pay for You are listeningto Not another political podcast, Episode twenty

(14:43):
we are bet Segment two. Noton the political podcasts, Episode twenty three.
This is our Jordan moment Harp,How does it feel? Twenty three
episodes in you just fresh from seatpack, We don't have a whole bunch
of life stuff happen and span oftwenty three episodes where you at, where
you at, how you feel.I feel like this this is a Lebron
edition, man, I'm a Lebronguy. So this is the Lebron edition

(15:05):
where we're just gonna hit on abunch of different topics to just be great
at everything. Steph Curry is abest basketball player what in the NBA period.
I just need to say that forthe sake of truth on this podcast.
Further into segment two, we arediscussing the judge who would be a
Supreme Court judge, Justice Judge Katanjiexcuse me, Katanji Jackson. So,

(15:33):
Judge Katanji Jackson is a currently ajudge on the Appeals Court of DC,
which is kind of like what peoplecall a Supreme Court junior um. Other
than being in a few court caseswhere she overturned some decisions in respect to
President Trump's election and his presidency,she's had no jurist problem. She's by

(16:00):
all accounts a good judge. Itdoesn't seem like she has any personal issues.
But the way she was brought intothe limelight and brought to her appointment
was through the door that is PresidentJoe Biden and Hart. You know how
hard that can be when the guy, when the bad guy brings you into
the party, it's not going togo too well for you. Yeah.

(16:22):
And the timing and the timing ofwhich he did it, like he literally
announced it. The announcement was likeright after Russia invaded Ukraine, right,
So even the timing of which hedid it. But it's part for the
course because he's been known to putblack women in terrible awkward situations. Are
going all the way back to Nia. Hell no, no, no,

(16:45):
dude, I mean, I mean, you're right. I feel like Joe
Biden used this black woman as apond and and it's really messed up to
me because we knew his polar numbershad fallen into the low thirties inflation.
All these things are going and justlike during the election, when Joe Biden
gets in trouble, he was justfor the nearest black person he can find
and rides them to popularity in thepublic discourse. And that's what he's using

(17:11):
a real issue which I'll talk aboutlater, of justice the representation for his
own political game. And I justfeel that very very very very dangerous,
especially to a black judge and theimpact on her legacy I don't know how
you feel about that. Yeah,And the problem is that it discredits the

(17:34):
fact that she is probably actually goodat her job. And that's the problem
because now we focus more on whoappointed her, how she was appointed,
the timing of her appointment, andthen you get the comparisons to Amy Amy
Barrett. Yeah, yeah, withTrump's appointment, so you you it becomes

(17:56):
disingenuous because it's a disservice to herbecause in actuality, I'm gonna be honest,
I don't really know too too muchabout her and or voting history and
that type of thing. But I'malready on the side of skepticism. Not
me, I'm actually not me perse. But you have groups of people,
you have those that are already opposingher and looking for ways to poke

(18:19):
holes and her political career. Andagain, it's the same thing that happened
with Amy Barrett in twenty twenty,so it's not as if this is new.
But you're putting a black woman underthe gun unnecessarily. Yeah, that's
a problem, Lise, I acompletely agree. And then you know,
you talk about the political element ofthis, and that's the nature of how

(18:40):
we appoint people to Supreme Court.I mean, in Ohio we elect our
judges. We're one of the fewstates that do that. On the federal
level and Supreme Court, you know, you get appointed, so that's always
going to be a part of theprocess. The interesting part for a conservative
I think to be aware of onthe Supreme Court, we're always looking for
the bound some of the decisions.Well, you know, Judge Jackson would

(19:03):
be replacing Justice Bryer, which isbasically replacing a liberal vote for a liberal
vote vote. So there's really noissue with the swap there. Interestingly enough,
a lot of Republicans, because ofthe way Joe Biden introduced this topic
of appointing a black woman's Supreme Courtjumped at this and called it racism and

(19:27):
dividing the country and all of thosethings. But Chuck gradually actually in the
Senate had a different perspective and said, don't fall into that trap, and
if you're going to criticize its nominee, do it in a way that talks
about the way she does her joband in a way that doesn't make it
seem like you're targeting her for beinga black woman. And I really need

(19:48):
to applaud her him for doing thejob that Joe Biden should have done.
Right, if Joe Biden brings thisblack woman into the process because she is
a good jurist and not because sheis a black woman, and that's the
only reason I'm picking with picking pickingher. Um, there wouldn't have been
so much picking on her, Iwould say, out of some of the
right wing media or just the rightof the aisle. I don't know what

(20:12):
you're thinking about that. Yeah,but but it's and again it's because so
when you come out before you makethe nominee and say even before the position
is open, honestly, even inyour campaigning of I'm gonna put a black
woman on a Supreme Court, it'slike you're already narrowing the candidate pool.

(20:32):
So you're already saying, I'm notgonna take the best candidate for Supreme Court
judge. I'm gonna just put myname in the history books as putting a
black woman in this position. AndI'm not even saying that I don't even
want to see a black woman inthis position, because I do. I'm
more so saying the fact that whenyou when you come out with a statement
like that ahead of time, itautomatically discredits it because to those that want

(20:56):
to those that want to criticize,you're giving them ammunition before you even give
him a target. So correct,correct, you're saying, I'm gonna put
a black woman here. Immediately it'slike, well, what if she's not
the best qualified? Well what ifyou're just trying to force a black woman
into a position. And then andprobably the case like again, I'm gonna

(21:18):
have a problem with it because therehave been Europeans that have been pushed in
positions for decade centuries. But themore of the story is from a logical
standpoint when you take the emotional partout, the logical standpoint is that you're
setting her up to be criticized beforeshe's in and in that in that position,
whether or not she would do agood job in that position. And

(21:40):
it's similar to what he did withthe vice presidency when he was like,
I'm gonna have a black female vicepresident. So now you're you're not presenting
two or three candidates, You're like, I'm just gonna get the excuse me.
If you had two or three candidatesand one of whom was a black
woman, right that black women,then I can i can respect the decision

(22:03):
more. And and what I think, you know, the biggest thing,
and what you're saying is that we'reboth acknowledging that. You know, we
need black judges, we need Asianjudges, we need all types of people
to be a part of the systemin every level. Okay, So let's
make that clear. And we alsoneed black judges on the right side of

(22:26):
the aisle, which I bring upas much as I can living in Kayahara
County. I mean, we livein a state where there's only fifty six
judges across the entire state of Ohio, and in Kayahuga County, where we're
representing almost entirely by Democrats, wehave thirty four common police judges and we

(22:47):
have thirty of them which are white, so only four of them are black.
So I think in order for usto have a perception of justice,
it is required of us to haverepresentation and we need to be okay with
that. With all of that beingsaid, Joe Biden has yet again marred
another black woman's legacy and accomplishment andyou know struggle. I mean, she

(23:14):
is the first public defender that willever be on the Supreme Court. That
means a lot. That means alot for a lot of young lawyers who
aspire to do something within this field. This is important, and so for
the President of the United States touse that immensely important moment in American culture
as something to rise his sinking pollnumbers, I'm sorry, Joe Biden.

(23:38):
Black women can't be helped responsible tosave your presidency. But if it's up
to you, I feel like he'sgoing to try to write them into a
twenty twenty four, you know whenwithout anything to show for it. So
he's absolutely, he's absolutely gonna usethe fact that I put them. I
mean, he doesn't not would come, so I mean, I can't even

(24:00):
it's not even like, you know, it's not anything that's you know,
foreign to him or you know,he's morally above, so we know he's
gonna do it. But again,the problem stands for this problem that I
see is that history is not gonnaview this woman as you were qualified and
you were put here to be here. History is gonna view her as you

(24:21):
were Joe Biden's appointee, just againa similar way that they're gonna view Amy
Amy Barrett in the same and thesame and a similar light. Not the
same and in a similar light asfar as being a woman and being appointed
by an unpopular president. So it'snot gonna be in the same light.
So I don't want to make Idon't want to make that comparison because it's
not. But it's it's in asimilar light of just again turnishing the legacy,

(24:47):
turnish into all the work that she'sput in the dust far to get
to where she's at, as faras for in our career. And I
think, you know that's I keepharping on this, but I think about
you. I think about you know, you're now a girl dad. Uh,
you're a girl dad to a daughterwho is going to be coming of

(25:07):
age in a time where there's beena first black president. There has been
a first black female president. Um, there's been a first black almost everything,
you know, and and here comesthe story of a black woman making
it too the Supreme Court. Um. What, no matter where you stand

(25:27):
in politics, you know that couldbe important for in case. So what
do you think your daughter is gonnalook at what she sees? Katangi Jackson's
name with justice in front of it, which we expect to half of the
next couple weeks So what I'm I'mto be honest, what I'm hoping when
she gets of age to know whatto when she's of age to know the

(25:51):
historical significance of the black woman orSupreme Court. Hopefully it's to a point
where she doesn't even realize the backstorydoesn't matter, you know, and and
again we know it just in politicsand life in general, most times,
historical context never comes actually into play. So I'm hoping that that's the case,
that's the case in these type ofsituations too. The problem is is

(26:14):
that I can't guarantee that that that'sthe case because right now, in the
event, again because she's so scrutinized, if it turns into where she makes
a mistake somewhere along the line.Now, I'm not gonna say she's gonna
get kicked off, because I don'teven think that's no, no, no,
but she but she's gonna catch alot for it. She's gonna catch

(26:36):
a lot for it. She's gonnacatch a lot more flat than really she
should. And that and that's andthat's where the problem is. And I
want and I want my daughter tosee that representation. I want, but
I also am going to teach heras she grows up, because she's an
infant now. But I'm also goingto teach her that you're married and your
work that you put in is moreimportant than your skin color or your gender

(26:56):
correct correct, And that's what's important. Right is that is? That is?
And you know I think you're right. You know, Supreme Court justices
get scrutinized based upon their political appointment. You know, we talk about them
in different revere. The way peopletalk about Claren Thomas, the way people

(27:17):
talk about Third Goood Marshal is differentthan they talk about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
It's the reality of how we appointSupreme Court nominees. But with all that
being said, the merit of thesepeople to make it to that level should
be applauded, it should be respected, and any criticism we have of them
should be within that space of thembeing a just jurist. Call balls and

in a particular way. She saidshe had to be the biggest member in

(29:38):

one most controversial. But I wantedto talk about the number two. Who's
the number two Harper Eric Adams,Eric Eric Adams, New York. Eric
Adams former officer who does not trustpolice officers, according to his top ten

(30:00):
controversies and contradictions around Eric Adams.Eric Adams is also the third black mayor
of the City of New York.He follows up married to Blasio, so
he is coming into being married avery interesting time, not only in this
country but in New York politically anotherwise, So, Harp, I mean,

I'm route for everybody that's black.Right, this is what I will

(30:44):
say. And our producer Darbio Imade a good point. It's like your
uncle becomes mayor, that that oneuncle that that kind of that's always around
the grill. But have a fewtoo many beers ends up becoming mayor.
Of New York and starts telling everybodyhow he's felt about everything the entire time.
And that's kind of what I'm gettingfrom Eric Adams. So if you

(31:08):
don't know what Harper is talking about, is Eric Adam too is a Democrat.
They say he was a Republican atsome point. Maybe I don't know.
I think it's possible. But whatprogressives now who in large part elected
Eric in New York, are sayingis that he gets in too much trouble.

(31:33):
What he means by that is he'sbeen out there criticizing the minimum wage.
He basically went on television, Harperand I showed you this video and
basically said, you guys don't deservefifteen dollars an hour. Not something you
say to the progressives of New York. He also wants to crack down on
crime. Imagine that in America,cracking down crime being a bad thing.
But he is also particularly blaming drillmusic. Harp you listen to drill mus

(32:00):
I have no idea what drummer itwas, all right, So drill music,
for those who don't know, isa form of music that people play
after or during drive by shootings andacts of violence. So they literally keep
score on the track, like Ishot this guy, I shot that guy.
Eric Adams was blaming drill music forthe crime in New York, so

(32:23):
much so he actually had a meetingwith the drill rappers. And another thing,
let me add this point too,is that I did I did reading
an article that it was named afterChicago slang word for kill. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's a dryfive. It's a drive five, it's
a dry five. So Eric Adamshad a meeting with those people. And

(32:43):
then of course he's rolling back inthe mask and the vaccine mandates for the
k through twelves. Now, allof these things have put Eric Adams in
a very interesting place. He isa black Democratic mayor elected in a time
post COVID, and now those sameprogressives that elect did him are angry with
him for some things that seemed likecommon sense issues. Harper, I want

(33:07):
to know what you think about progressivesturning on their black candidates after they're elected.
No, it's it makes perfect sensebecause I think it was a situation
with him where either they didn't thinkhe was gonna get elected or didn't think
he would start wilding like he didafter he got elected, Like it's it's
one or the two. Somebody wassurprised when he was it wasn't and it

(33:30):
wasn't him. He wasn't the one. I was surprised. Somebody else was
surprised at his behavior and his commentsbecause even when you go back a little
bit, because again I didn't reallyknow too too much about him. I
had I had heard about the pressconference with the Drill Rappers and all that
stuff, but I didn't even knowtoo much about him. But he's been
saying wild stuff for years. Soeither they thought they could control him or

(33:52):
they thought he would settle down oncehe was actually in position of power,
and neither is the case. Sobut but I want to shout, I
do want to shout out the maynowho as yeah, shout out shout out
man as the og kind of givesI guess the drill rap music, Brooklyn
trill rap music, drill drill,excuse me whatever, sue me anyway,

(34:17):
the kind of the og back theculture. Man man forty five years old,
he shouldn't even be in that culture. But no words whatever. So
but he did set up the meetingfor um, the local rappers or the
Brooklyn Rappers and the mayor to havea kind of sit down and understanding once
he wants the mayor kind of Idon't want to say, like, I

(34:39):
don't want to say put an assaulton the drill music because I feel like
that's still too much. But oncehe kind of made his made it his
purpose to kind of outlaw that versionof music. To bring those rappers and
the mayor together, so they haveto sit down in the actual conversation about
maybe kind of what misconceptions he mayhave and the art form itself. So

(35:02):
I do want to shout out maneOn for that because that was that was
that was big for the culture.And so look, I will say that
Eric Adams is a mayor doing thingsthat mayor should do. Um. He's
talking about crime. Uh, hewants to reopen the city and get kids
going back to school and money flowing. Yeah yeah, yeah, freak tyree.

(35:25):
Um. And and and he's tellingpeople a bit of the truth about
what economics means in their city andwhat wages increases me for employees. None
of those things he should be criticizedfor. But what we're seeing here's the
progressive left here putting someone who hascommon sense in a situation where they're the

(35:50):
villain. I don't think Eric Adamsis the villain. I don't think that
in the last three months he's hada chance to really show people what can
happen when you fully embrace his visionfor order and prosperity. But what I
do know is that the people whoquote unquote said they supported him being that

(36:15):
white progressive in New York no longerdo. And that's unfortunate for doing nothing
other than his jobs. And withthat in segment three and another political podcast,
