Greetings, Topo listeners. It is Amber Leifross here and I have with me a special guest, Paul Prescott,

who is running for state senate in Pennsylvania district eight, correct? That's right. Yep, that's right.

Yeah, that's a place. I've heard of that. Okay, so first question, we're going to go at it hard hitting.

When will Jack have been magazine acknowledged that they are coordinating a cabal of Caribbean

contributors? Because you've got, see, your dad's from Barbados, we've got Bosquer, we've got

Remique, like what's going on there? It's very suspicious. Will you be happy until you have, you know,

a member from each island nation? Yeah, we are actually this is an attempt to create a new

West Indies Federation. Something might know there's an attempt in the 60s that failed, but we

are reviving it and we all know that West Indies have the best politics of any group. It is actually

really fun learning about like West Indies politics, because like, I mean, it's obviously

different, they have a completely different relationship to capital, but also it's so small and it's

so like localized. I remember like telling Bosquer about like this colip so strong that was like the

the singer was saying that if like, if the councilman that he had just voted for didn't lower the price

of milk, he was going to beat him with a piece of mango wood. And that is such local politics.

That is, I am going to assault you with a piece of regionally specific lumber.

And it's a song that people like could dance to. I mean, they probably did, which, which rules.

Hey, yeah, I mean, and actually, you know, take Barbados, for example, very tiny island. It was,

and I used to live there in the summer. My dad was also a public school teacher of somebody

at all. We would live there and you would see the prime minister in the grocery store. He'd be like,

hey, what's up? And like, putting fruit in a bag. Not a huge place.

Yeah, if I wanted to, maybe I could have brought a piece of mango fruit and try to beat him with it.

Yeah, I mean, that's an option. That's what you get with local politics.
