| 0:00.0 | This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. The Party of Lincoln, it was a brilliant idea that never took off, but now people are |
| 0:19.6 | considering it and I'm grateful because as we talk about this political process and whether or not we have power and whether I vote counts and whether all of these politicians the same as the lesser two evils, this is what power looks like. |
| 0:33.2 | Okay, I don't like any of these candidates, |
| 0:35.9 | so let me form within the confines of the structure |
| 0:41.1 | an arm that I can pull levers with, right? |
| 0:45.0 | So I liken it to the Tea Party, which is part of the Republican Party, |
| 0:49.0 | and what they were able to do after Barack Obama was elected was mount a campaign in states they |
| 0:56.8 | understood the power of local politics they made sure to put people in the Senate |
| 1:01.2 | that's how we got Ted Cruz and a host of other people |
| 1:04.6 | because they understood how this system works. |
| 1:07.7 | It was strategic and it was powerful. |
| 1:10.0 | They got judges appointed and in many ways they're the reason why we have Donald |

| 1:30.0 | And I was like, the only way we can thwart this with this flawed candidate on the other side is by showing up in these primaries and making sure we vote for somebody who A can't beat Hillary Clinton B, if they happen to beat Hillary Clinton, |
| 1:45.0 | we at least have somebody that we can work with because we put them in office. |
| 1:48.0 | Much the way Jim Climburg has a lot of say right now on the Joe Biden campaign. |
| 1:52.0 | I'm just saying, this is what power looks like in America and America has a particular kind of system. |
| 1:57.6 | So up next you'll hear me talking with Sway, Sway Calloway, Sway Calloway, Sway in the morning on Shave 4 or 5 on Serious |
| 2:04.4 | XM about the Party of Lincoln app which I pivoted from being a political tool |
| 2:09.7 | to an informational tool and it's's still available, still number one |
