00:00I'm a huge advocate. I won't say too much, but I don't want to see us give any more of our bodies
00:03or our blood. We can vote. We can use the power of our vote to make moves and make ways, and we've
00:09yet to use the full extent of our vote. So I need us in the rooms to actually apply that sort of
00:14pressure in legal ways. And there are so many legal ways to apply that pressure that we've not
00:18gotten into because we are angry, and there's nothing wrong with us being angry. But what I
00:23see is an amazing opportunity. A congresswoman in the last segment said that we are in a historical
00:28moment, and it's not just because we have the potential to elect the first black woman president.
00:32It's because we as a nation have created or engaged in this nexus event to literally
00:39take the social contract theory back.
