    So I've always thought I would never get involved in politics. I think you can do more in the private sector. This and what is going on has actually made me pause that thought. I was saying to you that old Plato quote, you know, if you if you don't do your public service and run for office, you're doomed to be run by basically dummies. And right now I feel like that's what's happening. Now, not everyone's getting out to vote. I think what the Democrats have done is they've let the Fox into the hen house. Right. And now he's I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. HE'S RUNNING RAMPANT AND KICKING THEM ALL OUT. IT'S A SCARY TIME. WE NEED LEADERS TO STEP UP. DEPENDING ON WHAT DAY YOU CATCH ON ME IN NANTUCKET WHEN I ROLL OUT OF BED, I HAVE A NICE OCEAN VIEW AND IT'S LIKE WHY DO I WANT TO RUIN MY LIFE AND GET INVOLVED IN THIS MESS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT COMES WITH IT. BUT SOMETIMES I DO FEEL LIKE IT'S MY DUTY. I CAN'T TURN AWAY. But let me say this, I spend a lot of my day losing my mind on what's happening right now, especially in New York. I mean, you've got the Nazi in Maine. This really, really, really worries me. You might run against Mondani. I would love to run against him. If I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea. I don't know the demographics, whether I get enough votes. There's a lot of people who like me in New York City. I know that. I've done a lot of good in New York City when I wasn't thinking about politics, whether THE BARR STOOL FUND, PIZZA PLACES, SO IT WASN'T FOR SHOW. I'VE HAD A REAL JOB. I'VE DONE REAL THINGS, UNLIKE THESE CLOWN POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A JOB AND NEVER BEEN IN THE REAL WORLD FOR A DAY. RIGHT. BUT THE PEOPLE VOTING FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO JUST WON ARE LIKE THESE YOUNG, WHITE, LIKE, IVY LEAGUE-ISH, ELITE-ISH WOMEN. IT'S LIKE, WHO ARE THEY? LIKE, THEY'LL NEVER VOTE FOR ME. THEY'LL NEVER BELIEVE IN COMMON SENSE.
