this is me actually responding to what i think is an emergency in a america. a twin emergency which is a broken government in washingtong d.c., and an unaddressed climate crisis that is getting worse every single day. so i'm not trying to -- that is a pundit talking about some sort of s tactical horse race questi. but whatce i'm interested in is what's actually going on, and that needs to be fixed in the united states of america on an urgent basis. >> i remember a conversation i had withem the political scientt at stanford university and he was saying it'sta difficult to t folks in california to run for officesto other than the presidt of the united states. you have a lotr p of people wh have made fortunes and money and it's important toes run for the highest office in the land. i wond whaeer what you've made that. you thought about running against kamala harris and dianne feinstein. you've thought about running for governor as well. how do you thinkun you can make the most difference and why? in thee past in 2016 or 2018, those were races you did not want to get into versus this one.
