Hey, Michael Steel Podcast listeners, Michael Steel here with another quick take from the

Michael Steel Podcast. Check out what's going on right now.

Welcome back everybody to the Michael Steel Podcast, Michael Steel, and thank you for

being a part of fascinating conversation with Professor David Dent of the New York

University. We're talking about the emergence of black men specifically within the political

class, if you will, for Republicans, and a lot of people are kind of scratching their heads

or jumping up and down with joy. Either way, it presents some very interesting data and conversation

around what trend lines we should be paying attention to and what it potentially means.

From your analysis, Professor, what do you think this means for the future of the party potentially?

I don't know David Duke. Oh yeah. Oh, dinner with Fuentes and Kanye talking about, you know,

embracing Nazis and anti-Semitism. How does this play out? There's so much that smells. I mean,

it's, it's, it's, it's, I mean, I think that my idealistic answer to your question,

right? Would be that the black Republicans would not just step into the room out of the,

you know, out of kind of some of the superficial things they draw them, but would look at possibly

joining forces with someone like Larry Hogan. Right. You know, when you look at, or Mitt Romney even,

would you look across the country at, you know, members of the party, you know, maybe even partially

in the spirit of the, you know, late Jamaican, you know, that would try to look at

refurbishing that piece in that part, because this country needs more than one party.

Right. You know, I mean, it really needs, we really, and not just for, you know, African-American.
