Besides Biden, who do you think would be the best democratic candidate for 2024? And do you think Trump's fascist clone, DeSantis seriously stand, seriously stands a chance against the off, fighting mad democracy, loving people like us. Uh, Jackie, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and say here I'm a little disappointed in you. I'm very disappointed that you would ask me who I would want to see run for president in 2024, because I know there's people listening, there's people watching this on YouTube who already know the answer. I don't have to say it because those folks already know. Uh, Jackie, I'm just messing with you. But yes, I have said it time and time and time again. I have said it here on Ring of Fire. I've said it on our YouTube channel. I've said it on the Young Turks when I've done interviews with them.

I've said it on Twitter, my pick for 2024. And if it's not 2024, then 2028, if it's not 20 28, 20 32, beyond Katie Fricking Porter, I love Katie Porter. Katie Porter is a fighter. Katie Porter is smart, smarter than near everybody else in, in, in those chambers, a better fighter than everybody else in those chambers. She is not afraid to take on corporate power. CEOs, corruption. She has done it better than I think I have ever seen. So Katie Porter is my pick as for a running mate, Jeff Merley is my pick for that. I think Jeff Merley is a good progressive. I think Jeff Merley is, is once again smart. I think he takes on corporate power. You pair him with Katie Porter, you've got a little bit, uh, uh, more experience on his side. He's been there a lot longer. And so I do think that is a good option.

I think the two of them together, again, if it's not 20 24, 20 28, then uh, definitely my two favorite people right now. And I know that probably may come as a shock to a lot of people. A lot of people know I'm a, I'm a big Bernie Sanders supporter and I still support Bernie Sanders. I think his time has passed and I think he thinks his time has passed, uh, to run for president. He is still doing, you know, great work. But I just, I, I don't see a third presidential run fr from Bernie Sanders. I don't see it happening. I, I think the writing is kind of on the wall with the public. Um, I, I think there's still such a large faction of the Democratic Party that doesn't like him, that blames him for 2016 and always will blame him for 2016. And I think there's far too many people like that to allow him to have a viable presidential run. It's disappointing. I hate that that's what's happening, but that's what I think is happening. So, um, even, even if he decides to throw his hat into the ring, if Katie Porter also did, I'm gonna go with Katie Porter. I'm

Sorry. I like her. I love her policies and she's not, here's the thing about Katie Porter too, and I do feel like it's the Katie Porter show now, but Katie Porter is also, this was actually pointed out by Joshua Holland on Twitter months ago. She's not so progressive that she turns off the, the corporate democrats either. Now they don't like her because she takes on the corporate power, but she's also not, you know, hasn't been branded with the socialist label, which terrifies the corporate Democrats when it comes to elections. She can appeal to the far left and the center left Broad appeal is something the Democratic Party has not had in a candidate, a nominee in a long time. So that's another, uh, feather in the cap for Katie Porter, I believe.
