I'll see going on time. We think this it here.

Maybe you just get drunk and stay in time. Good afternoon Michael Melis here and let that be your welcome for the next hour we have a very special

guest with us. Brandon Strach who's the head of the walkaway campaign. We're

starting early because you got to get on a train. Yes, I'm sorry I really feel bad.

I feel like I came in here like a total div diva you did let's talk about this because I love it because I am I love any divahood first of all in preparation for this interview

I was listening to Kelly Clarkson on repeat on the way here I So I missed your I missed your text.

Thank you. I got your call. This coffee is too hot.

Yeah, the coffee. Okay, so the issue was there was enough half and half. So you wanted

three quarters and a quarter. Then the coffee was too cold.

Correct. But no it's actually really perfect.

Goldilocks. Yeah. It's the Goldilocks situation.

But in all seriousness, you're the head of something that's kind of a big deal and something that's really interesting and important.

Let's explain to people what the walkaway campaign is.

Sure.

So I'm a former liberal and I voted Democrat my whole life for the very sound reason that I'm gay and that's why you

know obviously that's how you should vote if you're gay you're Democrat right?

Well I started kind of putting two and two together after the election of

Donald Trump because I you know I voted

for Hillary and I was horrified and devastated like a lot of people thinking that the sky was going to fall because

America had just elected the second coming of Hitler and

Hitler was pro-gay in many ways actually.

Some people say he was gay.
