The MSNBC. What are some things you will say you learned about yourself and decisions ? I definitely learned, By the way, I can talk about New York like that because I'm from Brooklyn, so don't go come at me. Yeah, we. We say we bought, okay, Flatbush. Um, what. The biggest thing I learned. And I thought about this a lot since I left there. I learned that I was all the way in the bubble and that I had encased myself in the bubble and I was not seeing outside the bubble. I am a. I pride myself on being a pretty savvy political analysts. Um, and I'm pretty clear - eyed most of the time. But I was not clear eyed going into twenty twenty four because I was allowing the things I was seeing all my MSNBC screen convinced me that that was the world I was is living in. Okay. And I wasn't seeing the anger. People had the real deep anger at the Democratic Party on an existential level that would make them reject Kamala Harris. I thought, Yeah, they're angry at Biden. I didn't understand. The deep anger was for the party itself and it's failures, especially on Gaza. I didn't see that people were literally looking at Trump, not as the fool that I was portraying him as, and that I saw and that I could see in the uncut videos of him talking. That seemed clear to me. But all they were seeing was him as a paycheck, right ? They were seeing him as a check like, and also like a savior and a savior. He was great at marketing himself right in the civic way. And I thought to myself, A million people die because of this. Ooh, he. He. He was responsible for a million dead Americans. No one's gonna elect him again. In my mind, I'm like they're never going to put him back again. They would be crazy to do that. But people looked past the deaths. They looked past a grandma's dying alone with an I - pad. They looked past his foolishness, his dumb foreign policy, his, you know, too treacherous snus on Ukraine. All the things that we thought were important and all they saw was survival. And then for them, he was their key to survival. And the Democrats were there were the key to just the same old shit. And if you give people the choice between ugly survival and sort of like safe demise, they'll take ugly survival right. Fit. At least they feel like they have a chance, right ? Somehow, some way. Um, do you. Do you consider yourself an activist ? Because I see people saying she's not a journalist. She's an activist like you. Can't be both, right. I consider myself an activist journalist in the. In the frame of Ida B. Wells. Ida B. Wells with a whole journalist. She was uncovering lynchings that the York Times wasn't uncovering the facts behind lynchings at the Chicago Tribune was missing. She. She was picking up things that major national journalists could not figure out. And she was doing that as an activist and a journalist. And I think that, particularly in a time of autocracy and fascism, if you're on an act serviced, journalists are not doing it right. Ooh, that's share, believe, inspire blacks, be.
