| 0:00.0 | So I am here with Faye Echler, the Vice President and a founding member of the Socialist Rifle Association |
| 0:16.2 | located currently in Los Angeles. |
| 0:18.7 | Did I get that right? |
| 0:21.2 | Yes. |
| 0:22.2 | All right, excellent. |
| 0:23.0 | So, it's in a crazy couple weeks for the socialist left. |
| 0:28.0 | Are you guys ready to storm the DNC or what? |
| 0:32.0 | It's definitely having flashbacks to 2016. I think I |

| 1:42.0 | and then after that, I'm going to focus all my |
| 1:44.9 | attention back on more radical stuff. Once the primary is passed for me, that's |
| 1:50.8 | about it. I'm not going to drive to another state. I drove to Nevada in 2016 back when I was a Social Democrat and helped out then, but you know, it's, I'm in it till March 3rd and then what happens happens. |
